ENTHUSIASTIC GREETING IN

Philadelphia. Jan. 27-That the
White Star liner Republic could have
been saved was the startling declara-
tion of Captain Fenton of the Standard
Oil company's whaleback steamer,
City OF Everett. which arrived here
today. Captain Fenton stated that his
vessel contained powerful apparatus
including pumps capable of pumping
two million gallons an hour, and that
had Captain Sealby accepted his sew
eral times proffered assistance two
million dollars worth of property, in
cluding the baggage of passengers
could have been saved at cost of but
twenty thousand or so. The City of
Everett received wireless signals soon
after the collision and hastetned to the
rescue. standing by several hours, but
Sealby relied on other vessels.
Cheer Sealby and Binns.
New Yok, Jan. 27.-The landing at
the White Star pier of Captain Sealby
and Operator Binns was the occasion
for a demonstration yesterday. A big
crowd awaiting them cheered the men
heartily, while score of enthusiastic
admirers tossed the men to their shoul-
ders and thus carried them to the
steamship offices on the floor above
Here the captain and Binns held a re-
ception, receiving the congratulations
of scores of callers. and here Captain
Sealby modestly told the story of how
he stood by his ship until she sank
beneath him.
Captain Sealby and Operator Binns
accompanied by Captain Ransom of
the Baltic. later went to the White
Star offices on lower Broadway, where
another great crowd met them.
1t was learned that wireless tele-
graph operators receive ridiculously
small wages. Men like Jack" get
about S12 week. They live on the
ships as officers and get their board.
The wireless people ask 81 600 year
per steamer for the service to insure
them against loss during the dull sea-
son. but some Of the steamship COM
panies have refused to pay that sum.

to the down and OUT club of railroad
promoters and owners as the result Of
the developments in New York mar
kets yesterday. 1t had been announced
that Bradford and his associates would
secure control of the Chesapeake &
Ohio lines, but the story was discred-
tied yesterday when Kuhn, Loeb e.
Company. New York bankers COM
pleted negotiations and sold to Edwin
p. Hawley of New York. 10000 shares
OF c. & o. stock. This gives Hawley a
controlling interest in the road and
marks the defeat of Bradford.
Besides finding himself defeated in
his attempt to acquire the C. & O.,
Bradford has undergone the experience
of being ousted from the Wisconsin
Central. There was no doubt Bradford
and his clique we're after the G. & o.,
and its loss is expected to cripple him
effectually in his railroad ownership
