Mr.. FISH DEMANDS COUNT
WANTS PROXY LIST TO eE GONE
FULLY OVER.

Were Not Ready.

~ 49, ~0o
Of the Illinois Central stockholders
reconvenej Thursday 1t was evident
that the chances for q vote ON the dt.
.ectors were small. The proxy com.
m;ttee, which had worked for the
greater part of the night, had gone
through the letters "A" and "B'' and
gotten a little way into &C."
The Hartman faction was anxious
for a SHOW down" and Attorney
Cromwell proposed to the other at
torneys that all the proxies be sub
mitted to the meeting as they stood,
and that q test Of strength be had in
this way. Judge Ferrar, for Mr..
Fish. objected. saying that it was
known that many r~ev0catio0s Of
proxies had been given and that the
show down" would not be q true test
Of strength.
During this debate. which preceded
the calling to order of the meeting,
Mr.. Cromwell again proposed that all
the proxies be thrown on the table
and the conflicting proxies ruled out.
This would have a0nu!ed all the re-
vacations, and the proposition was
emphatically refused by the Fish at
torneys.
The meeting was called to order
an hour later by President Harahan,
who said:
1.-THE proxy committee il not ready
to report and we will wait q few
minutes to see IL they can give US
anything definite before We adjourn"
The meeting. after considerable
waiting. voted to adjourn until 3
O'Clock.
A touching illustration Of the mu-
tual confidence entertained by the
warning factions vas shown when
both the Harrinap and Fish proxies
were placed In one Of the vaults In
the Illinois Central Offices. Both
sides promptly placed watchmen out
side the vault AMI they remained On
duty until the proxy committee called
for the papers.
Probably the most Interesting Incl
dent Of the meeting Of Illinois Central
directors. which preceded the annual
meeting Of the stockholders. was q
tilt between Charles A. Peabody. presi-
dent Of the Mutual Life Insurance
company. and Mr.. Stuyvesant Fish. A
dispute arose a. to certain action at
a previous meeting. Mr.. Fish made .
statement of his position in the mat
ter and Mr.. Peabody declared Nj. Fish
had not voted the way he was then
voting upon the subject. One word
led to another, and MI. Peabody all
but passed the I ie to Mr.. Fish. Fish
arose and shouted 1t his opponent:
Mr.. Peabody. you cannot talk to me
like that, nor Is there q man living
with inches enough to tell me that /
do not tell the truth"
Until three men. who are locked In
q room assiduously counting proxies.
are able to report to the stockholders
of the Illinois Central railroad. there
will be no election of directors. Twice
Thursday the stockholders assembled.
only to be told that the proxy inspect.
ors " ere not prepared to report. The
final adjournment "a taken shortly
after 3 o'clock in the afternoon. and
carried the meeting over until 1 IiLay.

statement Of ths condition of national
banks was not unexpected in financial
circles here. Only four Of the hVe
calls required by law each year had
been made, and in the natural course
Of events It was anticipated that the
fifth and last call could not be much
longer delayed. 1t Is felt here that u
will exercise a beneficial effect on the
situation, inasmuch as the banks Gus
tomarily try to prepare for call by
increasing their cash and when the
call has been made this cash Is auto
maticaliy released. The belief also
prevails that the statement resulting
from this call will show that the cash
reserves OF the country banks are very
large, and that when this fact be-
comes public It win tend to rapidly
restore confidence among depoaitors
and thus hasten the resumption OF
currency payments.

An Arkansas Trust Buster.

Senator Jeff Davis-WhOse real name
the Charleston News and Courier has
tens to explain is Jeffries and not JEFF
ferson-came to Washington with the
avowed purpose Of totally destroying
the trusts. He made no concealment
of this purpose. Indeed in his ante
election promise to the Democrats of
his state he proclaimed it in the follow
ing modest but forceful words:
Il pledge you my word, my fellow
citizens, that if you, the most intell-
gent men of the great Commonwealth
of the greatest nation on Gods match
less earth, send me to represent you in
the greatest deliberative body that the
sun ever Shone upon, | will walk down
the center aisle in my sock feet to the
vice-Presidcnt's desk, shake my boots
in the Arctic Fairbanks face, and de-
mand recognition in the name of you,
my sovereign fellow -citizens"
Immediately after taking the oath of
Office Senator Jeff introduced a trust
busting bill that was generally con-
cedod to be "buster" 1t contained
about 10000 words, and is designed to
reduce the general business of the
country To the modest cross roads
basis that prevails in Arkansas. He
gave notice that he would speak in sup
port of this measure on Wednesday, A
correspondent of the Schenectady, N
Y, Union ventured to ask him if he
did not fear that at the last moment
the committee on rules would resort to
the old trick of shutting him off by
bringing up some comatose bill at his
appointed hour, and reports the result
o. his inquiry as follows:
THE six-foot-two Arkansan drew in
about five cubic feet of air and blurted
out:
well, I'll make that ERE speech
If l am alive, and do l look as if l
am likely to die?"
There were no signs of shutting off
this mortal coil about Davis.
Il don't see why i should know any,
thing about all this flim-fam prece-
dent business" he continued. I'VE
don't stand on these small matters out

situated on one of the charming nili-
slIes leading out from Western ave-
nue., ANA adjoining that beautiful
city Of the lead,' Forest Grove
cemetery This She intended as the
final resting place of the remains Of
her dist inguished husband. But as
ms reDlains ana that Of Mrs. Blaine
and tn" children rest in the cemetery
at Washington, her great desire will
in@ on this lot in Augusta, in the sum
uer season, . most charming panora-
ma is Imfolded. Near by are the
white monuments marking the graves
Of those mental giants, the friends
and associates Of the great Blaine
Arson T.. Morrill,, Lot VI. Morrill,,
Samuel cony, James w. North. Sam
ucl Titcorb. and the modest head
stone of Luther Severance. At your
feet IS the fair city Of Augusta, which
Mr.. Bla inc 50 fondly loved, and the
winding kennebec, sweeping through
the valley, ten or twelve miles of
which are clearly discrrnible to the
naked eye from this commanding
height. It was Mr. I5laine'S habit to
take all strangers whom he enter
tanned to the hills about his home,
ana let them ceast their eyes on the
enhancing prospect.
