OUR WALL STREET LETTER.

New York. Jan. SI. Wall street
heart! with keenest aHght the as-
nounrement that John W. Gates had
asked for a hearing before the Inter-
Mate commerce commissles In order
that he might reply to the testimony
given by Messrs. Morgan. Perkins and
Belmont concerning the famous Ixm-
Isvtlle ami Nashville deal last ram-
mer it asked: "Has he the nerve to
go through with the ptayT" Wall
street has no tlklkng for Mr. Gales for
the reason that he broke Into the game
and got away with a great deal of man-
or. It laughed consmabty over the
statements made by the witnesses
aaaed and took special satisfaction
In the characterisation of Mr. Gates
as a "dangerous mas." ooe who eowM
not be endured as the roBtrotNng pow-
er Is a gTat railroad system like the
Louisville and Nashville. It Is small
wonder that the ill as tared remarks
made by Messrs. Morgan aad Perkins
oc the witness stand aroused the Ire
of the Western plunger and filled hint
with a desire to "aw back" and give
his sMe of the deal. Again the very.
"Has he nerve?"
Mr. Gates Is one of the glibbest
talkers ever en the wtteees stand He
is aa exceedingly bright man with rub-
Mae setf-confideac and a remarkable
gift for vivid description. The two
best witness before the industrial
commission daring the four years It
put In Inquiring Into the opera t Joe of
trusts and manafactarlng conditions
generally were John W. Galea and
Henry O. Havemeyer. With a singu

thorough acquaintance with the sub
jects they were called apoa to discuss
they gave a vast araoant of useful in

The acaafsttlOB of the control
or the property by himself and Haw-
ley was something of an aeddoat. The
discovery that they held a ssaJorNy of
the stock eame simttltaaeoasty with
the other discovery that they had the
market cornered and that it was In
their power to ran the itock ap to
$1.08 a share if so disposed. A "cor
ner conducted at that particular time
would have caused a panic In Wall
street and spread ruin all over fhe
financial district The impulse to
to make play was strong with both
Mr. Ostei and Mr. Hawley and they
were only dissuaded from doing so at
the earnest soHclt&tioa of representa-
tives of the banking interests. The
argument that finally won Mr. Gates i
over was a pledge that acquiescence on i
'his part wptj'd result in his being ta
ken Into full fellowship of the con-
servative Interests. It was a position
he had been trying for through a se-
ries of years. He saw his opportunity
and Mixed It. .t one step he could;
move into the upper circles of high
finance and be made one of the e!e-
he thought. ...
Only a. ew months afterward he
was awakened from his dream by dis-
covering that the bankers who had
agreed to think so well of blm and
who had embraced him with every
how of fraternal affection were call
ing him remorselessly for great sums
of money loaned him on call. The
$5000000 he extracted from the
street" on the Louisville and Nash
ville deal rankled In their banking
heart. In their haste to get the money
back they went aftor him first of all.

speculative holdings.
This took place soon after the be
ginning of the liquidation and enabled
Mr. Gates to obtain very much Bettor

The success attaching to the recent
ly discovered processes for Improved
Insulation of t olographic cables has
revived Intorost In schemes for tho
laying of lines underground between
the great commercial cities of tho
country. This has long been a pet
idea of many electricians but has nev
or been practicable on account of ins

The predicted reaction In the stock
market has taken place and values arc
again hardening apparently In prepara
tion for another advance. Profession
al speculators acted on the theory that
the syndicates and pools would do coa-
stderable unloading oa the first sub-
stantial recovery from "the big break
last month. In this they appear to
have gvaged the situation correctly
for that waa Jat what was d6ne It
Is likely that this operation will be
repealed as the market moves up-
ward aad that the ball movement will
be pasctaaied by many severe reor-

PRE8IDENTIAL LAWLESSNESS.
The interference of tho president in
the election of'n United States senator
from Utah 14 an unprecedented and
startling event. Probably b acted
with his usual Impulsiveness and with-
out consideration or advice from wiser
men.
The question Is not complicated by
the fact that Mr. Smoot the leading
republican candidate for United Statos
senator from Utah Is a high dignitary
In the Mormon church. It Is said that
he is not a polygamlst But all this
has nothing to do with Mr. Roosevelt's
Interference In the choice of a United
States senator from one of the states
In the Union.
Ti senate atone in tne ex-
rcio of Its constitutional pow
er Is the Judge of the elec-
tion returns and qualifications of
Its members. It Is not for the presl
deal to say who would be a proper
member for the senate from any state.
The action of the president In tak
ing part In the election of a senator
from Utah is revolutionary. Happily
It Is also without precedent No pre
vious president with ostentation and
offensively has thrust his advice and
Infiuonce. saying nothing of his offi-
cial power. Into a contest Into any
state for the United States senator-
ship.
There may have been casos whore
some president preferred the election
of one of his friends to a seat In the
senate and where his preference was
known but If such has boon the case
all the proprieties of executive con.-
aoct were observed.. No president
ever before issuod a virtual proclama
tion relating to the election of a mem
ber of the senate from any stauv
It Is reported that Mr. Smoot -re
fuses to be boycotted byN the presi-
dent as a senatorial candidate. He
will nd abandon his right as an
American cltlien to accept an election
to me senate if he can obtain It
Notwithstanding Mr. Smoot's un
euphonious name the unpopularity of
the church In which he is an officer
aad the president's power. It is to be
hoped that he will stand fast by his
political rights and that they will be
vindicated by the people from whom
he seeks a commission as senator
Perhaps It Is better that the Issue
should be met In the case of a citizen
so burdened by his environments than
in the case of one resting under none
of those advantages. If he shall be
elected and seated In the senate the
rebuke to the president's revolutionary
course will be more omphatlc than It
would have been under other circum-
stances. Chicago Chronicle.
BREAK IN THE RANKS OF THE
OMNIBUS BILL.

afternoon. Senator .Tillman who has

clear 'that It could net be passed on
aeroant of opposition' to the admis-
sion of Now Mexico and Arizona and

It as a political trick at the expense
of tho people of the territories. Hln

seaale. aad he stated be will use his
best endeavors to secure the passage
of tho Nelson Mil or a similar measure
at this seeslon. Ills action was taken
ha said because he did not desire to
see Oklahoma statehood .defeated on

Ing can be said regarding the so-called
Nelson bill for aa a matter of fact
that bill died a-bornln". That bill was
or ' before the "Mo two days and
was withdrawn by Senator Nelson be
cause Senator Quay threatened to
have a vote on It and Nelson knew
that It would be defeated. That would
have been a victory for the omnibus
bill.
During the early days of this session
of congress thore was a chance that
the older senators might defeat the
omnibus bll and the readers of this
paper wore fully Informed of what Sen
ator Allison was doing as well as
what he Intended to do. With Sena
tors AMrlch of Rhode Island Senator
Hale of Maine and Senator Proctor of
Vermont It has long been customary
for the subtle Allison te steer the sen
ate to whatever direction ho might
please. Every effort which .parliamen-
tary skill could devise was resorted to
and the writer believed that the omni
bus bill would be defeated. Dut. aftor
a ten minute confidential chat with
Senator Quay. It bocamo apparent that
the old .leaders wore jup against tho
kind of a proposition which they qould
not defeat and tho. readora-.wcro fno
Informed. The old senate wadws nev-
er ran up against such a fightinK ma
chine as "Matt' Quay.
Because of the farts -pointed out
by Senator Jones of Arkansas the
people of Indian Territory have no
chance for statehood under the so-
called Nelson bill; and It would be
useless to deceive the people of tho
Territory. It would be useless for
Washington correspondents to do ly-
ing at space .rates for nothing good
could come of it. Sonator Jones stal
ed plainly and bluntly that Indian Ter-
ritory Is practically friendless before
congress and being friendless nectl
not expect friendship from the alleged
statesmen. The best measure now
pending for Indian Territory is the
Moon bill; and the best frienu of tho
Territory Is Conriressman Moon of
