BOCKEFELLER IS
KING OF MONEY
He Has Succeeded Morgan as the
Chief Financier of the
Country.
Heport Says That He Will Soon Con

Big Oil Magnate Also Is Heavily In-
. terested in the Pennsylvania
System.
Hew York Sun Speoial Service.
Chicago, Aug. 12.-Walter Wellrnan
a New York special to the Record-Herald,
Bays, among other things:
"John D Rockefeller is the world s
greatest financier J. Plerpont Morgan Is
the greatest speculator and promoter.
This is a judgment I have heard from
the lips of a good many men of affairs in
the financial district. In fact, it has be
come a common saying in Wall street and
In the clubs and other places where w an
street men congregate.
Perhaps nothing could better illustrate
in a smgle sentence the changes which
have been taking place in the financial
world during the last year. The great
slump in values, the bursting of the wa
tered stock and fictitious value boom has
gradually but surely wrought a transfor
mation in the relations of individuals to
properties and the sources of power, and
this transformation has as its most im
portant and probably its most Interesting
result the classification of Rockefeller and
Morgan which is now upon the tip of the
tongue in Wall street.
Rockefeller Is King.
John D. Rockefeller is now looked upon
by almost every one as the king of Amer
ican finance and railroading. Mr.
Morgan is in a second but still
a very high place. During the
last year the two men have virtually ex
changed positions. Of course, it would
be trite to say that for a long time both
have been in the very front rankwith
out doubt the two most powerful men in
the country. The change appears here:
Whereas, Mr. Rockefeller was formerly
comparatively inactive, content to remain
In the background, a tremendous force in
his control of great capital and big banks,
but not personally very active in the man
agement of railroad properties and dicta
tion of policies, he is now enlarging and
broadening his activity.
On the other hand, Mr. Morgan, for sev
eral years a marvel of activityhis finger
In almost every big piehimself behind
nearly all the big combinations and reor
ganizationsis now comparatively inac
tive, well nigh idle, taking care of what
he has rather than reaching out for more
worlds to conquer.
Will Control New York Central.
There is no longer any doubt that if
Mr. .Rockefeller is not already virtually
In control of the New York Central rail-i
way, he soon will be. Men who possess
the very best sources of information tely
me it will not take more than a year oif,
BO for the occupation of the Vanderbilt
family and the perihelion of the Rocke
fellers In New York Central to become
visible to the naked eye of all beholders.
This does not mean, of course, that
Rockefeller is to own a majority of the
stock of that company, for the Vander
bllts have not owned a majority for many
years. But it does mean, unless my in
formants are mistaken, that the Rocke
fellers are to take the places of the Van
derbllts as the dominant personal factors
In the control of that great property.
In addition to this, it is clear that Mr.
Rockefeller is acquiring large interests in
Pennsylvania. Just how much New York
Central, Pennsylvania and other standard
railway shares Mr. Rockefeller has picked
up during the era of low prices no one
knows, nor is any one likely to know till
the annual meetings are held and stock
Is voted by the registered owners. But
It is pretty clear that while Mr. Rocke
feller is far from being In control of Penn
sylvania, and probably never will be in
control, he is gradually acquiring an in
trest which will give him a voice in the
management of that, the greatest railway
system in the world.
BUYS UNITED STATES STEEL
Morgan Plans to Retire $200,000,000 Worth
of Stock.
New York, Aug. 12.The heavy buying
of United States Steel common stock by
A. A. Housman & Co., and other brokers
who are known to act for J. P. Morgan &
Co. and the United States Steel corpora
tion has attracted a great deal of atten
tion in Wall street lately. The plan is
said to be to retire $200,000,000 of the
common stock, if it can be bought at an
average price of $22.
The retirement of $200,000,000 worth of
the stock at a cost of only $44,000,000
would.save the company $8,000,000 a year
in dividends and would reduce the capital
stock of the corporation outstanding to
about $618,000,000 instead of $1,018,000,000.
REESTABLISH CANTEEN
Secretary Root of the War Depart
ment Determines to Follow
This Course.
New York Sun Speoial Service.
Washington, Aug. 12.Secretary Root has
practically decided to recommend the re
establlshment of the army canteen. This
will be gratifying news to soldiers and their
friends. There has been considerable dissat
isfaction in the ranks because of the abolition
of the canteen.
Practically every officer in the army and
all the officials of the war department have
concluded after a practical test that a mis
take was made in abolishing it as the army
has been injured by so doing. As a result of
that action a large number of vile saloons
have sprung into existence in the vicinity of
army posts, and drunkennesss has increased
in the army. Tho number of desertions also
have increased.
There are on file In the war department con
fidential reports from officers of the army
which show the bad results of closing the
canteen.
General Miles is the most noted officer who
is against the re-establishment, but the facts
presented by officers in the field have out
weighed his recommendations.

GROYER TO HUNT
IN MINNESOTA
Chickens and Ducks May Be Gunned
For, and Possibly Some
thing Else.
Tho His Proposed Trip Is Said to
Have "No Political Sig
nificance."
Ex-President Expected to Visit Min
nesota After Speech in Chi
cago, Oct. 14.
in
Grover Cleveland, sometime president of
the United States, nimrod extraordinary,
and lightning rod agent possibly, has
been invited to visit the state on a hunt
ing trip in the latter part of October, and
has signified his willingness to come.
The great leader of the eastern demo
crats has done much hunting of various
kinds and at various places in his time,
but has never had an opportunity to hunt
over Minnesota stubbles and sloughs.
When it was announced that he had ac
cepted the invitation of James H. Eckels
to address the Commercial club of Chi
cago Oct. 14, friends in Minneapolis at
once tendered him an invitation to con
tinue his western tour into Minnesota.
It was pointed out to him that Minne
sota is exceedingly rich in hunting pos
sibilities that the stubble fields are full
of fat chickens and that the web-footed
wild fowl haunts the prairie lakes in
abundance. It was also urged upon the
former president that he had never tried
his prowess in these, to him, virgin fields.
President Cleveland replied that he
would be more than pleased to visit Min
nesota on a hunting trip if he could so
arrange his affairs, and he intimated
that he would try pretty hard so to fix
things that he could arrange his affairs
and come.
This prospective visit of the great Gro
ver will attract more than pasing atten
tion because, while he has declared that
there will be nothing political about his
Chicago speech or his entire western
trip, there is a suspicion that while he
may hunt for prairie chickens and ducks,
with his accustomed enthusiasm, he may,
possibly, after a good day's sport in the
field, yield to temptation and put his ear
to the ground.
But there is nothing in the invitation
which has been extended to Former Pres
ident Cleveland which requires him to do
this. HE ACCUSES A PRIEST
Connecticut Man Sues Father Sen
esac for Alienating the Affec
tions of His Wife. .
New York Sun Speoial Service ,..
Waterbury, Conn., Aug. 12.Louis Strucks
has brought suit against the Rev. Joseph F.
Senesac, pastor of St. Anne's Roman Catho
lic church in this city, for $10,000. Strucks
charges Father Senesac with alienating the
affections of hlB wife.
Mrs. Strucks is a pretty woman of 26. Her
husband is nearly 50. Father Senesac is a
handsome man of 38. Strucks in his com
plaint says his wife first met the priest at
a church fair in Hartford In the winter of
1900. He declares that the wrong doing of
the pair began Aug. 1, 1900, and has con
tinued up to the present time.
He says that when he first discovered it he
drove his wife from his home and started
out to shoot the priest. Friends who learned
of his plan, prevented the shooting. He adds
that he brings suit only In order that Father
Senesac may be exposed and punished.
Father Senesac, who comes of an old
Montreal family and who has made several
pilgrimages to Rome, was declared not at
home when a reporter called at the parochial
residence this afternoon. His intimate
friends in the parish declared that the charges
were untrue.
BONES OF A MASTODON
They Are Unearthed in St. Louis
Further and Important Finds
Are Expected.
New York Sun Special Service.
St. Louis, Aug. 12.Bones which scientists
agree are undoubtedly parts of the skeletons
of mastodons were unearthed yesterday In the
heart of St. Louis. Workmen digging for a
great overflow sewer to be forty feet below
the surface, found the bones.
Large pieces of trees almost changed into
bituminous coal by the slow process of nature
had been unearthed and then the picks of
the' laborers 6truck some hard substance
which puzzled them. Foreman Talt ordered
the workers to stop while he descended into
the ditch to Investigate. By carefully dis
lodging the dirt on the other side of the hole
he found several large bones imbedded in
the clay. These bones composed the petri
fied Jaw of some enormous prehistoric ani
mal.
Further digging resulted in fresh rewards.
It is believed the place Is rich in fossils and
a careful search will be made In the hope that
an entire skeleton will be found. The spot
where the bones were exposed Is 100 yards
south of the Tower Grove station.
IT IS NOT A BATH TUB
Chicago "U" Officials Post Notice
Forbidding Swimming in the

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Aug. 12."This aquarium is for
tadpoles and Ashes and is not intended as
a swimming pool for students."
This notice on a large placard was tacked to
a tree near the new acquarlum on the Uni
versity of Chicago campus to-day.
The beautiful $6,000 home for the tadpoles,
frogs and fishes Is almost completed. The
basings were filled with water Monday even
ing.
This little lake, with its cool water, proved
tempting to a number of men who live in
Hitchcock hall and after dark Tuesday night
they went over Into Hull court, where the
aquarium is located and had a refreshing

HE REPLIES
TO GEORGIAN
Rev. Dr. Babbitt Tells Chautauqua
Assembly That Lynching Is
Is Nothing but Murder.
Scores John Temple Graves of Geor
gia for His Speech Delivered
Yesterday.
Chautauqua, N. Y., Aug. 12.Rev. Dr.
Dean Richmond Rabbitt, rector of the
Church of Epiphany, Brooklyn, answered
John Temple Graves of Georgia in an ad
dress to-day at the Chautauqua assembly
on lynchings and mobs from an American,
standpoint. He contrasted the view of
lynching justified by Graves, with what he
called the "more general and better view
of the American nation" and showed the
prevalence and increasing violence of the
mob spirit, its tendency to leap the color
line and to lynch for minor offenses than
rape and murder.
He dwelt upon the psychology of the
mob and gave the Wilmington lynching of
the negro White as typical and denounced
the officials who refused to protect any
**********
prisoner of any oolor or for any crime.
He paid a tribute to law and order as
represented in Governor Durbin and Gov
ernor Yates of Indiana and Illinois, re
spectively, and upheld President Roose
velt in his recent letter on lynching.
Lynchers, the speaker declared, were
plain, brutal, savage murderers* should
be treated as such by the authorities and
by all worthy to wear the name of Ameri
can citizens1.
"More morality, less prejudice, stricter
law quickly applied, fair play to negro and
white and both the race question and the
mob problem will assume less dangerous
dimensions," said Dr. Babbitt in conclu
sion. TO UNYEIl MONUMENT

New York Bun Special Service*
Boston, Aug. 12.It-:-lias been discov
ered that William S. Allen, the embezzling
treasurer of the Methodist Preachers' Aid
society, also took $8,000 of the funds of
the Methodist Historical society, of which
ho was a trustee. This brings the total
of his embezzlement from Methodist or

he borrowed about ?20,000 from friends.
It is generally believed his losses In Wall
street were not heavy and that he took
with him fully $75,009.

LOCOMOTIVE BUNS AWAY
Crashes Into a Farm House While
Traveling 75 Miles an
Hour.
New York, Aug. 12.A runaway loco
motive on the Erie has caused no end of
excitement near Caldwell, N. J., on a
branch line. The engine was a big six
Wheeler. Its driver and fireman had dis
mounted to assist a brakeman. Suddenly
it stole away. The road ahead was down
grade and the ponderous machine gath
ered spree rapidly.
Passing. Caldwell it was running sixty
miles an hour. Another incline added to
the speed and after passing Campton the
engine was going seventy-five miles an
hour. On a sharp curve, the rails gave
way and the locomotive tore across a
field.
A farmhouse was wrecked and many do
mestic animals t**ut the place were
killed. Pieces of iron flew in all direc
tions, and the farmer's wife, at work in
her garden, narrowly "escaped death.
The first steel manufacturer in the United
States was Cornelius Atherton. Born in
Cambridge, Mass., in 1736, he went into the
iron business early, and made his first suc
cessful experiments in the manufacture of
steel in 1769. He died at South Balnbrldge,

That He Take a Rest From
All Work.
Rome, Aug. 12.The pope this morning
left his apartments for the first time since
his fainting fit yesterday, going for a
drive and walk in the Vatican garden.' He
remained in the open air about two hours
and returned to the palace feeling much
better. All that remains of yesterday's
collapse is a slight feeling of lightness in
the head.
Drs. Lapponi and Davenezia visited
Pius to-day and tho they found him al
most entirely recovered they continued to
recommend that he take a rest from all
work.
"But this will mean such an accumula
tion of work that it will kill me afterwards
to catch up with it," said the pope in re
ply.
Reports are in circulation to the effect
that Pope Pius is unhappy and complain
ing. His grave, almost ^tearful aspect at
his coronation was universally noted. It
is now stated that he weep * constantly in
his room even before visitors. He de
clares that he can be made happy only
by returning to Venice. He and the en

ceived yesterday wept together.
FALCONIS DON'T LIKE IT
Says to Establish Canon Law In American
Church Would Be Unfortunate.
Hew York Sun Special Berries.
New York, Aug. 12.Monsiegnor Fal
conie, the apostolic delegate to the United
States, arrived last night. When he read
the cable dispatches from Rome, saying
that a priest of the Cincinnati archdiocese,
who purported to voice the sentiments of
the Catholic clergy of America, had pe
titioned Plum X to remove the American
church from the misionary government
and In its place establish canon law such
as exists in European countries, he said:
"I cannot believe' that any American
priest has gone to Rome with the proper
authority to make such a petition and
even granting that such a petition should
be made, it certainly would not be de
sirable for America under present con
dition, nor do $ believe it Is the wish of the
hierarchy and the clergy."
Mgr. Falconi was asked how the church
in America would be affected If taken
from the control of the propaganda and
put under the direct rule of the pope.
"To abolish the present system would
immediately be to establish canon law,"
he replied. "This would mean that all
pastors would become irremovable from
the date of this change. It would place
a check upon all the local ecclesiastical
authority would necessitate direct com
munication with the "Vatican in small mat
ters which can now be disposed of by the
metropolitans of their suffrages. Such
action would in many cases cause delays,
the inconvenience of whioh Is not felt in
countries nearer .to Rome."
It was said to-day that the abolition
of the present system and the establish
ment of direct communication with the
throne would cost the church in this coun
try an additional tax of nearly $2,000,000
a year. As it is now, the church of the
United States may call upon Rome for
funds for any projects which'may arise
in this country.

Dispatches which have been communi

state that the insurrectionary movement
Is increasing daily. Hilmi Pasha, inspec
tor general of the sultan's Macedonian

the Bulgarian villages are fleeing to the

Many among the Bulgarian peasantry
wished to remain neutral but were com
pelled by threats to help the revolutionary

spread of the insurrectionary movement in
the vilayet of Salonica, where, he says
the committees are resolved on the same
campaign of massacre, incendiarism and
pillage as in the vilayet of Monastir.

Telegrams received this morning from
Monastir anonunce that the town of
Krushevo is still occupied by the insur

with artillery, surrounded the town and
are preparing to attack and if possible
retake the position. Fighting with the

DREADED MAFIA
Italian Society Charged With the
Murder of Antonio Luciano
at New Orleans.
Murderer Laughed at His Victim's
Funeral CortegeResident Si
cilians Are Terrorized.
New! York Sun Special Service.
New Orleans, La., Aug. 12.The murder
of Antonio Luciano by Sparo has revived
the fear of the Mafia among the Sicilians
of this city who believe that Sparo was
employed by that society to commit the
murder. So terrified are they that
Luciano's friends were afraid to attend
his funeral and some of them reported
that they had been threatened with death
if they showed any respect for the mur
dered man.
There being no Italians present, altho
Luciano had many friends among the peo
ple, the police and police reporters had
to act as pallbearers.
As the funeral cortege passed the prison
near which Luciano lived, his murderer,
Sparo, poked his head from the window of
his cell and greeted the party iwth roars
of laughter. He was removed, as soon as
possible by one of the deputy sheriffs.
The fact that Sparo has an abundance
of money for his defense has convinced
the Italians that he has the backing of a
society which they believe is the Mafia
and which is well supplied with money.
All the circumstances leave little doubt
that Sparo was hired as a bravo to kill
.Luciano. The "case has caused a very
panioky feeling among the poorer Italians.
The district attorney has been requested
by the press to rush the prosecution of
Sparo and prevent the vendetta getting
the strength it possessed in New Orleans
before the parish prison lynching of 1891
and he has promised to do so.

FEAR A MASSACRE
Mussulmans Are Gathering at Uskub
Christians Terrorized.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Aug. 12.The Bulgar
ian foreign office has received disquiet
ing news from its agent at Uskub. The
Mussulmans forces were gathering in the
mosques and it is feared that a massacre
of the Christians is impending. Officials
here express the belief that the interven
tion of the powers alone can prevent a
disaster.
The most astonishing feature of the
situation here is the remarkable quiet
with which the people have received the
news of the fresh rising in Macedonia.
The whole outbreak came as a great sur
prise even to the local revolutionary com
mittees which were not prepared for so
early a rising. In spite of the stirring
appeals of the committees, little or no
popular enthusiasm is apparent, even
among the 20,000 Macedonian residents of
Sofia. How long this condition will last
depends largely on the developments in
Macedonia. At present the center of the
disturbance is Monastir. a long way off.
Should the riving spread to the valleyet of
Uskub and come near the Bulgarian fron
tier it is probable that the population of
Bulgarian will become aroused.

M. J. Lavelle, rector of the cathedral, who
presented a crucifix to him to kiss. He
was also blessed with holy water and in
cense. The procession then proceeded
down the middle aisle and when the main
altar was reached the choral of reception
was sung and the archbishop took his seat
on the throne.
The priests of the diocese in the order
of seniority approached and tendered al
legiance. After pontificial mass, cele
brated by Archbishop John J. O'Connor of
Newark and a sermon by Archbishop B.
J. McQuaid of Rochester, the papal bull
of appointment was read by Father La
velle. Then came the receiving of the
papal blessing, the imposition of the pal
lium by Mgr. Falconio assisted by Rt. Rev.
John Edwards, an address by the clergy,
