E AS TO SULLY'S FAILURE Relations of the Railroad Official and the Ex-Cotton King Brought Out by Hlihu Root. profits' were immense Sum of $149,000 Netted by Two Days' Transactions First. Loss Just Before the Crash. NEW YORK. April 1. The examination, in which Edwin Hawley, the president of the Iowa Central Railroad and the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway, and Frank II. Ray, head of several large tobacco companies, the alleged partners of Daniel J. Sully In his cotton operations, are to be questioned, began to-day before United States Commissioner' Alexander, who was appointed by Judge Holt to act as a special commissioner in the case. Receivers Henry W. Taft and David Miller procured the order from Judge Holt, of the United States District Court, requiring Hawley and Ray not only to appear to-day before the special examiner, but to take to the examination room all their books and papers that would disclose exactly what were their relations to Mr. Sully. Former Secretary of War Elihu Root was retained to question Mr, Hawley and Mr. Ray.. Mr. Hawley was called and hjs examination was begun by Mr. Root. Just at this time Mr. Sully entered the room and took a seat near the lawyers' table. Mr. Hoot read from statements bearing February dates. In these transactions many purchases or sales ran from a few hundred bales of cotton up to almost 10.000 bales. Mr. Root next read from a long slip of paper a statement of cotton transactions bearing the names of Messrs. Hawley, Sully and Ray. He wanted to know or not if this paper represented the joint transactions of the persons named, but Mr. Hawley said he did not know. Mr. Sully, it was brought out, would take his own share of the profits before sending Mr. Hawley his share. A number of "joint three" accounts (Hawley, Sully and Ray), for the latter part of February, nearly all representing heavy sales, were next read off by Mr. Root. Hawley's lawyers had in court some half a dozen packages containing the memoranda of the transactions between Sully & Co. and Messrs. Hawley and Ray. Another package was reported to be missing. Mr. Hawley said there were other transactions for "Joint three" accounts dated Feb. 24 and 11, and something over 10.000 bales, which netted a prollt of $149,001 Mr. Hawley ald ha did not -take his profit in these transactions. They were 'credited to his account." Next came another "joint three" account showing these purchases of cotton Maren 3, 25,000 baies; March 4. 10,400; March 7, 14,6u0, and March 9. 700 bales. It developed during the examination that the first transaction Mr. Hawley had with Mr. Sully vas in September, 1903. when he loaned Sully individually JTOO.ouO on securities. Mr. Hawley gave his occupation as that of railroad officer, and on further questioning stated that he is now president of the Iowa Central and Minneapolis & St. Louis railroads and a partner in the Stock Exchange firm of Hawley & Davis. He testified that his business relations with Sully & Co. began in December last and ended on March 18. Mr. Hawley said he kept no special record of his cotton operations, relying chiefly on the statements he received from Sully & Co. following a purchase or sale. At the request of Mr. Root, Hawley's lawyers produced a batch of these statements. They showed that on Dec. 4, 1U03, 10,000 bales of cotton were bought and sold for account of E. Hawley and D. J. Sully Jointly; on Dec. 23. 19,100 bales bought and sold for same account. There were also similar transactions on a smaller scale for Dec. 24 and 27, and then came a number, of statements of various dates in January, all representing heavy transactions on cotton for Hawley's account. Mr. Root read from a statement showing that in one particular transaction Messrs. Hawley and Sully had divided a pront or jw.no. Mr. Root read from the seventh and last batch of statements and other memoranda, all of which referred to pool operations. Hawley's checkbook was asked for, but was not produced. His counsel promised to submit it at the next examination. It was then decided to adjourn until next Thursday at 11 o'clock. Roughly estimated Mr. Hawley's profits in tne numerous "joint two ' and - "Joint three" accounts, as brought out bv Mr. Root, approximated $200,000. Apparently, his first serious loss was just before the suspension of Sully & Co., as shown by his letter of March IS, inclosing a check for $S2,-4-u io wiai nrm. M'CORMICK WORKING IN BE H ALP OP JAPANESE ST. PETERSBURG. April 1. The Amer ican embassy is energetically looking after Japanese interests. Ambassador Mccormick's task is extremely delicate, but happily his excellent personal relations with Foreign Minister Lamsdorff and the other ministers, and the high esteem in which he is held by them has served to prevent the slightest frictfbn. All his requests in Denan or japan have been met In the best spirit. His latest representations were regarding tne transportation home of the Japanese refugees on the island of Sakoalien. who. to the number of 600, have been waiting with the Japanese consul and consular staff tor an opportunity to return to Japan. Although the matter presents some diffl culties, it has met with a favorable re tnonse. Russia will grant Japan's reauest and the refugees probably will be brought to the Siberian coast and thence dispatched by a neutral ?hlp. which will be arranged for by Mr. McCormick. The ambassador is now taking steps to send forty-eight Japanese at t-nita io uernn, ana has received from the Japanese minister at Berlin a warm letter of thanks for the assistance af forded to the twelve refugees sent by Mr. ucormicK io xerun ten uays ago. POGUE'S RUN NOW WITHIN ITS BANKS Damage Inflicted by Thursday night's rise and overfloow of Pogue's run was found yesterday to be slight, as the territory cov ercd by the water was practically the same as that which was flooded last Friday. Tho greatest sufferers from the high water were the residents of that section of the city near tne .Alias engine works. The heavy ruin was responsible for a num her of washouts cf cross walks in the city, and the- street commissioner's department was kept busily at work making repairs all yesterday morning. The bridge over Pogue's run at Wilkins street was rendered unfit for service. The. sewer that empties into Pofiue's run at Michigan street will also be Inspected, and it Is believed that the source of the high waters at this point will have been cneckea. MARQUIS ITO BACK TO TOKIO FROM SEOUL TOKIO. April 1. The Marquis Ito returned here to-day from his special mission U the Emperor of Korea. He was received at the railroad station by the min Isters and was granted an audience by the Hmpcror of Japan, hile it is denied that political significance is attached to the mi.Mon, It doubtless will cement the cordiality between the Korean and Japa nese courts nnd will in-pire the Korean Emperor with confidence in the intentions of Japan. Average Ills of Iltver. The rire in the latest flood has been a slow but steady one, and for this reason has carried with it but little damage. Thursday night, when the first Increase was noticeable, the water registered at five feet und at an early hour thM morning it had reached a height cf thirteen feet and six inches, or nn increase in thirty hours, of 104 inches, which would mean an average of one and one-half Inches per hour. With the exception of between the hours of S nnd 10 o clock, when perhaps the greatest in J cirarv was noticeable, this average will hold for the rise eluec Thursday nl-ht.

The Apocryphal plot against the life of the Pope, which was reported in a London newspaper a few days ago. and promptly ridiculed by the Vatican authorities, had a sequel to-day In an "April fool" story published by a newspaper. This story was to the effect that two Anarchists, who intended to make an attempt on the Pope's life, had been arrested at a door of the Vatican with bombs In their possession.

HARMONY

ALLEGED VIOLATION OF

THE AHTi-TRUST UW Bill Prepared by Coal Dealers Against Twenty-Six Leading Railways. CHICAGO. . April l.-Eight specific charges, each one pointed out as a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law, are brought against twenty-six pleading railroads running into Chicago in a bill prepared for the Chicago Coal Shippers Association to be filed in the United States Circuit Court. The action is an attempt by the coal dealers to put the Chicago Car-service Association out of business on the ground that it Is an illegal combination of railroads. Its acts are said to be the enforcement of a uniform system of demurrage and per diem charges on cars, which adds to the freight rates. The bill to be filed is a petition for Injunction against each of the railroads restraining them from continuing their membership in the association and from combining to form a similar organization. THIBETAN ATTACK IS A SURPR1SET0 BRITONS (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) before the outbreak of the war with Japan when Russian interest in the results of the expedition was very keen. The real purposes of the expedition were then viewed with the gravest suspicion, it being feared that a definite estimate of British influence over the Grand Lima of Lhassa, which- was regarded as Great Britain's object, would be a severe blow to Russian prestige both in Thibet and in China. The situation is now changed, because Russia's hands are at present too full to leave her free to act, even if so disposed, because there are now increasing indications that better relations with Great Britain are in sight, or, at least, there is an increasing 'desire for such relations by both countries. Several leading newspapers have turned a somersault, notably the Novoe Vremya. Only this morning the Novostl calmly discussed Great Britain's longstanding desire to obtain a protectorate over Thibet as being in a fair way to succeed, declaring that neither Russia nor China would object, while a special dispatch from a Paris correspondent of the Novoe Vremya said that an entente between Russia and Great Britain would be effected on the basis of a Russian free hand in Manchuria and a British free hand in Thibet. In best informed circles a definite rapprochement is regarded as premature, at the present time, and, indeed, impossible while Great Britain's ally, Japan, is at war with Russia. Nevertheless, the Associated Press Is in possession of information which Indicates that King Edward is looking forward and clearing the Way for an entente which will settle the differences between the two countries once war has been cleared from the political horizon. One of the best informed diplomats is bold enough to predict that the basis of settlement will include giving Russia, if victorious, what she wants in Manchuria, the opening of neutralization of the Dardanelles and the outlet. to the Persian gulf in return for an absolute guarantee of Great Britain's Indian frontier and of her predominating influence in. Thibet. RUSSIAN PAYS TRIBUTE TO PLUCK OF. JAPANESE ST. PETERSBURG, April 1. Admiral Skrydloff, commander of the Black sea fleet, who commanded the Pacific squadron for four years, In an interview just published paid a high tribute to the seamanship, nerve and pluck of the Japanese. He declared their attacks before the declaration of war was Quite characteristic. Personally he held the opinion long before the rupture that the Japanese had determined on war and only continued the negotiations while it served their purpose, but no amount of concessions would have prevented war. They hungered for revenge because the Russians stopped Japan's progress after the China-Japanese war. Admiral Skrydloff considers the ultimate victory of Russia to be certain, denominating this as a patriotic, national war, and adding:. "Japan put her fate as a power on a single card. It is our duty to determine the position she is going to hold in tho far East." The admiral considers that only the fir?t attack on Port Arthur was serious. The other attacks and bombardments were for the purpose of keeping the squadrons In Port Arthur while a landing was effected in Korea or elsewhere. He. considers Port Arthur Impregnable, of which ho believes the Japanese are convinced, and declares that Admiral Makaroff's fleet later on will play an important role. But for the present and for some months the scene will be on land. While the admiral does not say so, it is apparent that Makaroff Is considering the arrival of the Baltic fleet in autumn. While he says the Black sea fleet is only preparing for the customary maneuvers Admiral Skrydloff adds; "But we are ready fcr anything." ALLEN'S OBSERVATIONS IN NORTHERN KOREA SEOUL, April 1. Brigadier General Allen, United States military observer with the Japanese army, returned here from Ping-Yang. He says the roads In northern Korea are in very bad condition and that the Russians have lost excellent opportunities to take advantage of the natural obstacles offered by the country to op-, pose the Japanese advance. General Allen believes it to be evident that the Russians Intend to make a stand at the Yalu. Hyuen Yong Uen. who was at one time Inspector for the Korean Railway Board, and who has resided in Japan for a long time past, has been appointed Korean minister at Tokio. JAPAN BUYS ALASKAN SALMON FOR SOLDIERS SEATTLE, Wash., April 1. The Seattle Trade Register to-morrow will say that orders have been placed with local dealers In the last few days for 250,000 cases of Alaska pink salmon for shipment to Japan for use by the army. The immense purchase will go forward by the Shawmut. sailing to-morrow, while each following ship will take some. The Trade Register also says that 75.000 cases hnve been purchased by Japan in San Francisco and that large purchases have also been made in Vancouver, B. C. RUSSIANS SEIZE THE ARSENAL AT KIRIN NEW YORK. April 1. General TsengChi, commanding the Chinese troops' In Manchuria, has notified the government, says a World dispatch from Peking, that the Russians, having seized the arsenal at Kirln, between Harbin and Mukden, are using it to manufacture ammuuitlou, which they are turning out ceaselessly. General Tseng-Chl asserts that the Russians intend to raise a body of 50,000 Mongol troops to relieve the Russian guards engaged in patrolling the Manchurian Railway. Home I'urty Returns. HAVANA, April l.-Sir William Van Home returned to-day with his party, including T. F. Ryan, who is a director of the Cuba Railroad, D. A. C. Smith and other New York capitalists and Lieut. Gen. B. M. Young, U. S. A., retired, after having toured eastern Cuba. The party was amused at the report that an erfort would be made to domicile the Northern Securities Company in Cuba. Sir William Van Home said that the visit had nothing to do' with any Cuban railroad loan, but the visitors were impressed with the various opportunities for investment in Cuba.

JAPANESE DRIVING THE RUSS!AHSHORTHWARD (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.)

General Stoessel, respectively commanders of the Russian naval and military forces at Port Arthur, and General Smirnou!, he visited the battleships Petropavlovsk, Retvizan and Czarevitch, the protected cruiser Pallada and other ships in the harbor and later conferred gold swords of honor, with St. George's ribbons inscribed "For Gallantry," on the captains of the cruisers Bayan. Novik and Askold. According to information received here it is believed the Japanese are preparing to repeat their attempts on Port Arthur. There is a growing conviction in naval and military circles that Vice Admiral Togo's desperate endeavors to "bottle up" or cripple the Port Arthur squadron are for the purpose of definitely immobilizing it while the Japanese effect a landing at NieuChwang or some other point. Vice Admiral Makaroff's capture of a Japanese steamer near an island between the extremity of the Liao-Tung peninsula and the Shan-Tung peninsula proves that ho is watching the entrance of the Gulf of Pechili. It is not believed the Japanese will attempt to debark on the shores of the LiaoTung gulf w hile Makaroff s neet is uncrippled. The Russ thinks the prospects for the maintenance of Chinese neutrality are more reassuring, as the Chinese warships are not going to Nieu-Chwang and no more Chinese troops are being concentrated near the zone of operations. The best guarantee of Chinese neutrality, it is added, is in the fact that all the powers are interested in its observance. RUSSIANS TELL OF SINKING A STEAMER ST. PETERSBURG, April 1 A semiofficial dispatch from Port Arthur, bearing to-day's date, says: "Our entire squadron left the harbor March SS. making for neighboring islands. At 11 o'clock the cruiser Novik sighted a 6tcamer towing a Chinese junk. She would not stop until a torpedo boat fired two shots. It was the Japanese steamer Ilanlen, on board which were found ten Japanese and eleven Chinese, various papers, telegrams and maps, and two whitehead torpedoes. The crew was taken on board our ships, after which the vessel was taken in tow and subsequently sunk. The Novik and accompanying torpedo boats rejoined the squadron, which returned to Port Arthur. "On Match 25 the anniversary of the Russian occupation of Port Arthur was celebrated with a religious service and a military review. "On March 30 occurred the funeral of the men killed on board the torpedo boat destroyer Silni during the Japanese attempt ro block the port on March 27. A large concourse attended the funeral."The Grand Duke Boris arrived on March 30 and he was given a public welcome. All Is Quiet." RUSSIA'S MILITARY FORCE IN MANCHURIA PARIS, April l.-The Figaro's St. Petersburg correspondent telegraphs: "A detailed list of the Russian troops in the far East was semi-offlcially communicated to me to-day, and, though I am forbidden to betray the secrets of mobollzation, I am allowed to give the general figures. The list was drawn up on the evening of March 2S by the general staff at Harbin. There w-ere then in Manchuria 170,000 infantry, 17,00) cavalry and 258 cannon. Of this number 20,0o0 infantry, 5,000 cavalry and thirty-two cannon have been detailed to guard the railway. "Although the bulk of the troops in concentrated opposite Korea, the strategical front extends 1,0 kilometers from Vladivostok to Nieu-Chwang on the left bank of the Liao river, the right bank being regarded as neutral territory. By June 28, 130,000 more infantry, 30,000 more cavalry and 250 cannon will have been sent out. "It is estimated that the Japanese troops landed do not exce.ed 80.000 and that 100,000 are waiting until the Commissariat is assured before being transported, as It la impossible to feed them in Korea." , ' KO RIETZ AND VARIAG SURVIVORS AT ODESSA . ODESSA, April 1. The Russian steamer Malaya from far Eastern ports, with the survivors of the crews of the Korletz and Variag on board, arrived here to-day and were accorded an enthusiastic reception by the enormous crowds which lined the streets and joined the procession. The foreign vessels in port dressed ship and their crews cheered as the Malaya entered the harbor escorted by a flotilla of steamers and other craft with bands of music on board and crowded with people, who had gone out to meet her. As socn as the Malaya was signaled, the commandant of the port boarded the steamer and pinned crosses of St. George on the rescued men. The Emperor has ordered the Korletz, Variag, Stereguschtchl and Yenisei to bo stricken from the navy list. GUNBOAT H ELENA TO LEAVE NIEU-CHWANG NIEU-CHWANG, April 1. United States Consul Miller to-day informed the citizens of his nationality of the United States acquiescence in the proclamation of martial law by the Russian authorities here. The United States gunboat Helena leaves Nieu-Chwang to-morrow. The British gunboat Espiegle Is awaiting additional instructions. Russian authority has been established here without friction. There is no apparent alarm, although movable property is being partly removed. It is understood that immediately after the eleven ships now here are leaded the port and river will be closed, as the work of providing for a systematic defense of NieuChwang is progressing. AMERICANS LEAVE FOR SCENE OF WAR ST. PETERSBURG. April 1. Lieutenant Newton A. McCully, assigned as United States naval attache with the Russian navy at Port Arthur, and Captain William V. Judson, of the United States marine corps, who is to be attached to General Kuropatkin's headquarters, left here this evening. accompanied by Colonel Papdaroff, the Bulgarian military attache, and two Swiss attaches. They" will go direct to Vice Admiral Alexieff's headquarters at Mukden, where their future movement will be determined.
