mission. Considering the previous tes-
timony showing that the Union Pacific
had got $1O.OO0,OOO of Santa Fe stock,
it became clear that the Hartman in
terests in that system would total $40.-
OOO,O 600, or over one-ffth of the capital
stock.
The interesting feature of this testi-
mony, however. was that it proved
Hartman to be a friend of the Stand
ard Oil group. President Ripley said
he did not know that the Union Pa
cifc owned 100000 Of his roads
stock. On cross examination by Law
yer Milburn. Ripley said that neither
shown any desire to injure the Santa
Fe in favor Of the Union Pacific. He
admitted that the Hartman holdings
had tended to make the Santa Fe a less
sharp competitor of the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific. Previously it
had been brought out how Hartman
juggled with the Southern Pacific in
1903 by selling to William Rockefeller
100000 shares of Southern Pacific I'M

should sell it back to him May l, 1904.

sion for the last fiscal year says that
peace and order prevail except in Sa-
mar and Leyte. Under a limited fran
chise the natives have elected gov
errors in twenty-nine of the thirty
eight provinces. 1t appears that these
elections, though orderly in form, We're
attended with much excitement, and
many had to be protested and annul-
led because of fraud, intimidation and
bribery. Governor General Ide says
that il there has been error it has
been in the granting of a larger meas
ure of self government than the na-
tives were prepared for. A legisla-
ture is to be elected within a year.

THE REPUBLICAN CONTEST.

The primary election contest last Sat
urday was very much enlivened in at
least two districts by the active struggle
made on the part of certain Republicans
to wrest the management of that party
from old hands. These contests were
carried on In the third and sixth districts;
in the third, no more active or bitter con-
test was ever waged at a general election
and no more desperate means resorted to
by which to secure support for the re-
spective factions. Effective work was
actively carried on at the opposition
headquarters during Friday to such de-
gree that Bailiff Jackson was compelled
to bring into service his trusty wheelbar-
row in order to remove from the streets
themselves; and during Friday night a
cargo of refreshments en- route from Bal
timore county was confiscated on the
road and promptly applied to private
uses. During Saturday regular head.
quarters, thoroughly manned with cleri-
cal forces, were maintained by both fac
tions corps of trusty workers were active
in the field with such varying success that
not until a ballot had been actually
placed in the box did either side feel GER
tain who would secure the vote The
opposition, however, found out with the
close of the day that it meant one thing
to assault and another thing to take the
citadel of the enemy who for many years
have demonstrated their skillin practical
politics. The organization, having cast
124 votes against 81 BY the opposition,
won a well-deserved victory. In Havrc de
Grace, too, the opposition faction was
substantially defeated, and the conven-
ton to meet onthe oath will be made
up of sixty delegates, all in substantial
accord as to the policy of the party in
Hartford.
The delegates In these two districts are
as follows: Richard Dallam, Charles +.
Tucker, William T. Billingslea, c. E.
Ramsay, J. Edwin Webster, James Lee,
George Reynolds, Elisha R. Pyle, Joseph
A. Ball, James NJ. Reynolds, c. c. Pussy,
Charles T. Wilson, DR.. J. c. Segar, Yves
ley X. Carver, A. Lincoln Lyon, l.. A.
Vosbury, William f. Moore, George H.
Leitheiser, o. R. Currier and E. II. Glib
son.
The delegates of the opposition in the
third district were Albert b. Twining,
Henry A. Whitaker, Joseph Hornberger,
w. Frank Riley, X. Emmett Duvall, Viii
liam T. Billingslea and Jacob A. Doxen,
and those In the sixth district were Viii
liam R, Young, Edgar c. Kelly, Edward
Harm, E. H. Gibson, E. E. Bennett and
John H. Sarricks.

PROFESSOR COLBOuRNE RESIGNS.

Professor John l. Colbourne, who for
the past three years has had charge of
the Havrc de Grace High School, has
rendered his resignation, to take effect
the last of June, and in the future will de-
vote all of his time and attention to the
lumber business, in which he has been in
terested with his brothers for several
years past. During his three years stay
in Havre de Grace, Mr.. Colbourne has
made many friends and impressed his
personality upon the high school to a
marked degree. A man of attractive ap-
pearance, pleasing manners, aggressive
temperament and high ambition, he has
set for his school laudable pace which
has resulted in its being ranked among
the leading schools of the State. The
evidence of this assertion is furnished by
its large increase in numbers, necessitat-
ing the building of an annex two years
ago at a cost of $11 900, and in the gen.
eral tone and character of the students
and their work Mr.. Colbourne will
probably succeed in whatever he under
takes and will carry with him the good
wishes of all with whom he has been con.
nected in Hartford.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

A beautiful home wedding of interest
to the people of Bel Air and vicinity was
solemnized at Roanoke, Virginia, on
Wednesday evening, when Mr.. Thomas
Locke Sothoron, son of Rev. Levin J..
Sothoron, rector of Christ Protestant
Episcopal Church, Rock Spring, was
welded to Miss Elizabeth Roberts,

erts, of that city. The ceremony took
place at the home of the brides parents
and was performed by Rev. MIR. Sotho-
ron, in the presence of a few relatives and
friends of the contracting parties. The
house was profusely decorated with

were no attendants, the bride entering
the parlor leaning on the arm of the

wedding march rendered by an orches-
ira. The bride was gowned in hand

BALTIC. AND BEL AIR ELECTRIC RAILWAY

The stockholders Of the Baltimore and
Bel Air Electric Railway Company held
their annual meeting at their office on
Monday, when the treasurer and general
manager made their reports for the past
year. The treasurer's report sho wed that
the business of the road was increasing
each month and isin healthy condition;
in fact, if the net earnings were not being
used in paying interest on and reducing
the floating indebtedness, good divi-
dend could have been paid for the past
year on the capital stock. Manager
Shrivers report gave an interesting
statement concerning the operation OF
the road, and especially urged the imme-
date construction of at least a half mile
to Walters hotel and park, which would
have many advantages over the present
terminus. He recommended that if pos
sible the extension be made to Fork, Bal
timore county. An auditing committee
reported that they had examined the
treasurer's books and found them correct
and neatly and accurately kept. The old
board of directors, consisting of Messrs.
Stevenson A. Williams, Charles ]. Bona
parte, J. Alexis Shriver, John M. Griffith,
Thomas H. Robinson, George L. VanBib-
Der and o. A. Kirkland, was reelected for
the ensuing year, and Immediately or
gained by the election of Mr.. S. A. Will
liams, president, and Mr.. JohnD Worth
