NEW TORK, Feb. 12. (SpeclaL)-The
detective bureau of one of the most pow
erful Western railroads has been working'
for alx months to find out who 1b behind
the Western Pacific Railroad, now pro
jected to be built from San Francisco to
Salt Lake City. The conclusion reached
by this bureau Is that the Gould Interest,
combined with the Rockefeller Interest,
and working for the benefit of the Mis
souri Pacific, has supplied the cash for
both this line and Sir. Moffatt's road
from Denver to Salt Lake City.
The Moffatt line has at times been cred
ited to the account of the road whose pri
vate advices now state that Gould is the
backer. This road has at present a line
to the Pacific, and will later get another,
but has nothing to do with the Ogdan
gateway. When this statement was
brought to the attention of Georgo J.
Gould, ne said:
"I have denied once already- that I had
anything to do with lines west of Salt
Lake City. If their detectives have found
out that I have, their detectives have dis
covered a mare's nest. It is wrong."
Mr. Jeffrey, president of the Denver &
Rio Grande, and Mr. Gould's strongest
. railroad adv.r. said:
VChaTkilrood detective agency
makes Its knowledge public. It is because
the railroad wants a certain Idea to get
abroad. You may digest that statement.
Mr. Gould Is not backing either of these
lines, so far as I know. If he were, and
he didn't want it known, it would, take
three or four detective bureaus to find
it out."
So much for the denial. A somewhat
similar denial was published early in 1903
with regard to the Western Maryland. It
transpired later that Mr. Gould had bought
the road. The purchase of the Ann Arbor,
West Virginia Central and other small
roads In the Virginias were denied by the
same people in the same way. The public
is loft free to draw its own conclusions.
Syndicate Has Money to Burn.
The conclusion of one official of the road
whose agency reported the Goulds in con
trol Is expressed about as follows:
"Gould and the Rockefellers have ad
vanced $22,500,000 to the Denver & North
western, and about $3,000,000 to the West
ern Pacific In all, their advances to the
latter are expected to reach $33,000,000 be
fore they get through, and the line will
probably be built well toward Salt Lake
before they become definitely known as
the backers of the scheme. They have
carried the syndicate advances of $2S00,
000 to the Moffatt line for 15 months in a
market that has tested every syndicate to
the full, and has left a dozen strong syn
dicates stranded and broken. To strand
or break this syndicate, it would take the
wealth and power of another Rockefeller.
"Tho Missouri Pacific, in 190S, will have
Its Western terminus on San Francisco
Bay. Harriman has fought It every Inch
of the way, and will, I suppose, continue.
Harriman will be beaten. By the way, he
has been beaten more In the past five
years than any other railroad man and
has also succeeded, more. Ho Is the man
who has been doing things that were hard
to do. Now he Is up against a proposition
that would stagger even Hill, namely, to
stop a Rockefeller - Gould combination
when they want to get to the Pacific.
Reason Not Far to Seek.
"The reason is not far to seek. Hill,
Harriman and the Rock Island have made
the Missouri Pacific a local line In the
post two years. The big railroad that has
to depend -on connections for its Pacific
traffic is a big railroad that is going back
ward. Hill and Harriman have shut the
Missouri Pacific In at the North and the
Rock Island and Atchison at the South.
Now the Atchison Is going to be controlled
virtually, though not actually, by Harri
man and the Rock Island, and the Mis
souri Pacific is nowhere. That is the
reason, and it Is a good one. Harriman
and Gould tried to do the same thing
with the Rock Island. The freaks from
the West wouldn't be cornered. They
pyramided profits, and built the Rock Isl
and to the Pacific and tho Gulf. Now they
are trying to do some cornering them
selves. Gould, who was foremost in try
ing to catch them napping, Is now com
pelled to build. He will do it.
"Rockefeller is inscrutable as night and
death. His name never appears on any
official paper. Only a fow know his sig
nature. He Isn't a director of the Mis
souri Pacific, but his son Is, and so with
Hyde and Parmalee Prentice. They han
dle the Rockefeller interests. If any one
could find oufjust how large these In-'
terests are in Missouri Pacific and the
Gould syndicates, it would stagger Wal
street, in all probability. It is reall
Rockefeller taat Is doing these things
Two years' income from his Investment
will complete the Denver & Northwestern
from the moment when the first line Is
run till thev out the caDolnc piece on the
last bridge. Two more years' income will
build the Western Pacific. He gets his i
or 5 per cent on the bonds he underwrites
at a discount, and In later years he will
sell the bonds at par as first-mortgage gilt-
edge bonds. There Isn't any risk."
SENATOK HANNA VERY LOW.
(Continued from First Page.)
She remained and sent some dispatches.
The news quickly spread that the Senator
was sinking, and the number of callers
and inquiries, which had come In greater
number today than at any time previously,
were .vastly augmented.
Mr. .Dover, the Senator's secretary,
called Governor Herrlck, of Ohio, and
others in Ohio on the long distance tele
phone and advised them of the serious
turn.
Mrs. Parsons, a daughter, and Daniel
Hanna, the Senator's son, both in Cleve
land, were summoned to Washington post
haste, and announced that they would
come at once.
Mrs. McCormick, a daughter, was with
her mother in the sickroom much of the
time. Mr. Fisher, also a secretary to the
Senator, was busy at the telephone an
swering anxious inquiries from the Capi
tol and from public officials throughout
the city who had been advised by news
bulletins of the sudden change, while a
large number of others called in person
at the hotel. Among these were Senator
Lodge, Postmaster-General Payne. Com
missioner of Corporations Garfield and
General Charles Dick.
Mrs. Roosevelt With Mrs. Hanna.
The President and Mrs. Roosevelt called
during the afternoon. Mrs. Roosevelt was
with Mrs. Hanna when the doctors, at
noon, announced an improved tempera
ture. The President called later, and re
mained In the Senator's apartments nearly
half an hour. He was fully advised of the
condition of the Senator at that hour. He
had not been gone long when the change
occurred.
The constant attendance occasioned by
the Senator's critical illness, has been a
severe strain on the physicians, and espe
cially on Dr. Carter. Dr. Carter was so
much exhausted tonight that Dr. Futcher,
of Baltimore, the assistant of Dr. Osier,
came over to spend the night, and relieve
Dr. Carter of the watch over the Senator.
Shortly before 7 o'clock, Mr. Dover an
nounced that the Senator had recovered
consciousness sometime before, and said
he bad tried several times to speak to
Dr. Osier, but was too weak. The doctors
asked blm to aid them in the application
of the oxygen by taking deep- breaths. He
did as directed, thus showing he fully
understood what was said. It was also
announced that the heart action was
better, and that the temperature had
lowered. A little later, it "was announced
that the patient had taken a little nour
ishment including some diluted whisky
and had retained it.
Senator Hanna, as the night wore on.
continued at least to hold the rally he
had shown, and at 11 o'clock the doctors
said the indications are that the Senator
would have a quiet and comfortable
night. They said that he, at that hour,
was resting without any artificial aid.
but oxygen, in slight and diminishing
doses, was being given at Intervals of 15
minutes. They said the bulletin Issued
at II o'clock would be the last for the
night unless something unforseen occur
red. Following is the bulletin:
'At U o'clock the Senator has reacted
from the chill and depression. Tempera
ture, 101; pulse, 120; respiration, 32. He is
quietly resting. CARTER."
Chill Is Unusual.
The physicians say the chill from which
the Senator suffered is quite unusual in
typhoid cases, and has but few prece
dents. It does not -follow, they say.
that another Is likely to occur? and for
this reason they are Inclined to hope there
may not be further trouble from this
source.
A pathetic feature of Senator Hanna's
illness Is the receipt of a number of tele
grams of condolence which his family
received, based on reports of his death.
which have been printed In the East and
West. At 11:45 tonight. President Roose
velt sent a personal message of inquiry
as to Senator Hanna's condition. He was
furnished a copy of the 11 o'clock bul
letin issued by the physician with the
additional Information that the Senator's
condition at midnight was practically the
same as before the chllL
FORGOTTEN IN MOMENT.
Ohio Clubs Hear Hanna Is Worse Just
as Roosevelt Is Indorsed.
CLEVELAND, Feb. 12. A dramatic scene
occurred at the convention of the Ohio
League of Republican Clubs this after
noon, connecting, as It did, the Presiden
tial Indorsement of the League and tho
critical conuitlon of Senator Hanna. A
spirited fight had been precipitated by the
report of the committee on resolutions in
dorsing the candidacy of President Roose
velt for nomination.
Amid muc- confusion the Roosevelt res
olution was finally adopted, only Mont
gomery County dissenting. At this mo
ment Governor Herrlck arose on the plat
form and In a voice choking with emotion
read a telegram from Washington an
nouncing that oxygen was being used to
sustain Senator Hanna, and that it was
feared his condition was hopeless.
Deathlike stillness followed when tho
Governor concluded. Senator Forake
arose and said in part:
"We are met here today under the most
favorable party auspices. The Republican
party has everywhere been triumphant. No
problem has baffled us, and no serious dif
ference of opinion has arisen to create any
serious discord in our ranks. We write a
new chapter of party history every year
and everj" week. We are a united party.
We are practically united as to the man
who is to lead us, the man who has been
making tho- record upon which we must
stand.
"Now while it is all bright on this hori
zon, there comes one painful feature to
mar our Joy. No one could feel more
keenly than I would do the death of Sen
ator Marcus A. Hanna. We have had our
differences, but they have been fought
out fairly In the open, without the loss of
my respect for him, and I find myself
hoping that he has none the less respect
for me. During his services In the Sen
ate I have seen him engaged In his work
and have seen him grow In the estima
tion of his colleagues. No man in public
life has grown In the last seven years as
has Marcus A. Hanna. He has been out
spoken, faithful and loyal to the highest
degree to the Republicans. He was not
an active participant in general debate,
but no one exerted more Influence on the
floor of the Senate. It would be a severe
loss to us If he should pass away."
The resolutions adopted by the conven
tion before the reading of the telegram
from Washington primarily Indorse Sen
ators Foraker and Hanna to be delegates
at large from Ohio to the coming National
Republican Convention.
Mayor Tom L. Johnson, who welcomed
the delegates, said: "I want to add my
prayer for the recovery of Senator Hanna.
Whether wc be his opponents In politics
v In business, we cannot help but admire
aim as a man. and we will all join in the
hope that he will be returned to health
and strength. "
President Bingham, of the Ohio Republl
an League, reviewed the work of the
organization and congratulated the mem
Vrs on the "marvelous Republican vic
tory' In thls-state iast November, which
practically effaced the enemy."
FLOCK TO THE FEAST
(Continued from First Page.)
chose'a by the Republican State Convention of
Illinois to be the candidate of that party for
United States Senator against Stephen A.
Douglas, fitly called "the little giant." who
was the candidate of the Democratic "party.
The debate that ensued between the; cham
pions Is historic, both on account of the far
reaching and exciting questions involved and
the ability of the. disputants. The speeches of
Lincoln were like the keen sdmlter of Sa
ladin. and those of Douglas were like the
battle-ax of King Richard. Douglas won the
Senatorshlp, but that debate made Mr. Lin
coln President of the United States. Lincoln
was not only a great lawyer and great etateB-f
man, but a great orator. When the battle
ground of Gettysburg was dedicated for a
cemetery. Sir. Lincoln was present and made
an address. Edward Everett, a distinguished
and scholarly speaker from Massachusetts,
was the orator of the day and spoke for an
hour in an eloquent style, but his oration has
gone to the owls and bats, while the speech of
Mr. Lincoln, which it did not take him ten
minutes to deliver, has become a classic In

the English' language, and has been more gen
erally read than any other speech ever deliv
ered In this country. "Words fitly spoken are
like apples of gold in pictures of silver." and
It was the fitness of the words spoken by Mr.
Lincoln that makes them so universally ad
mired. Mr, Lincoln defeated William H. Sew
ard for the Republican nomination for Pres
ident in 1800, and my belief Is that If Seward
had been nominated and elected the Union
would not have survived. Seward was a man
of abilities, but he was impetuous, irascible
and extreme, and as Secretary- of State would
have Involved us In a war with Great Britain
with the Rebellion on our hands if be had not
been overruled by the great good Judgment of
Mr. Lincoln.
His Tremendous Responsibilities.
No ono not closely related-to public affairs at
the time can form any adequate conception
of the dimculUes that confronted Mr. Lincoln
after he became President. Atlas bearing the
world upon his shoulders Is a fit representation
of the tremendous responsibilities that rested
upon him. Buchanan's weak and timid Ad
ministration had depleted the Treasury and de
bilitated the military arm of the Government.
To organize, officer and equip mighty armies;
to supply and fit out a navy; to provide finan
cial support for the Union cause; to prevent
the recognition of the Southern Confederacy
by foreign nations; to manage the burning
question of slavery; abolition fanatics howling
against him on one side and slaveholders and
their sympathisers denouncing him on the oth
er; armed treason in front and disguised
treachery behind; conflict and contusion all
around. These were some of the features ol
the situation, but President Lincoln with a
firm and eteady hand upon the helm, and
with almost unerring wisdom steered the ship
of state through these scenes of strife and
bloodshed to a haven of safety and peace. I
stood within a few feet of Mr. Lincoln when
be delivered his second Inaugural address,
which he concluded with these memorable
words: "With malice towards none; with
charity for all, with firmness In the right as
God gives us to see the right, let us strive to
finish the work we are In; to bind up the Na
tion's wounds; to care for him who shall have
borne the batUe and for his widow and orphan;
to do all which may achieve and cherish a
Just and lasting peace among ourselves and
with all nations." Amid the "encircling
gloom" occasioned by his tragic death I at
tended the funeral of Mr. Lincoln In the White
House, and was one of th e committee of the
Senate to accompany his remains from Wash
ington to Springfield. Our train consisted of
four cars draped in mourning, and we stopped
at all the principal cities on the way, where
Mr. Lincoln lay in state a day or two, and It
seemed as though the whole population turned
out to take a farewell look at their beloved
President, Wc carried him to Springfield,
where, amid the sighs and tears of his old
neighbors and friends, we consigned all that
was mortal of Abraham Lincoln to the silence
and darkness of the tomb. No man has lived
who could say In his dying hour with more pro
priety than Mr. Lincoln: "I have fought a
good fight; I have finished my course: I have
.kept the faith." None of our public men have
been eo near as Mr. Lincoln was to the hearts
of the American people. This was largely due
to the overflowing goodness of his nature. He
was full of the milk of human kindness. His
sympathies were active and outstretched to the
poor, the afflicted and the enslaved. This was
the beautiful feature of his character. This
was the Jewel that adorned the brow of "grim
vlragcd war." Liberty and union are the mon-

uments to the memory of Mr. Lincoln, and his
name Is amng "the few immortal names that
were not brn to die."
D. Sotis Cohen's Response.
D. Soils Cohen made a highly pleasing
response to the toast, "Theodore Roose
velt." Enthusiasm was let loose by his
remarks many times as. he went along.
"Good, good!" cried his auditors after he
had finished, and applauded loudly. Mr.
Cohen spok as follows:
The enduring place of a great National
character In the heart of his country and In
the estimate of the world is established only
with the lapse or time. Ir that pvriad when
results have been carefully, and Judicially'
weighed, the condHtan leading te tb-m ana
lysed, the ruling motives fairly and reasonably
deduced with local and temporary bias, pre
poeetsion and prejudice eliminated, then only
has the world dispassionately Judged and per
manently placed the Titanic figures of Its past
generations. But there Is a warm, active,
living blood of estimation contemporaneous
with the life and passing serrtceAjf the indi
vidual. In the great majority of tnstancta
this Is of far more import and moment to its
subject than the cooler Judgment of the future.
If today this living thought could he concen
trated into spontaneous expression as to the
best beloved of all living Americans through
out the Republic would ring the name of Theo
dore Roosevelt. (Applause.) This, I think, we
may all accept as a fact beyond quesUon. xet
Theodore Roosevelt is a young man. The
many long years of service, of development
and exemplification of character which as dux
warks of confidence attached to many of his
most distinguished predecessors, are not his.
There Is tomething. however, which has been
more Immediately as effective. It is the spirit
and thought of the century. Theodore Roose
velt has been and Is a moving picture before
and among the people. As a municipal officer
In the country's metropolis, asserting, that laws
must be enforced or expunged, and sustaining
with action his dictum; as a Civil Service
Commissioner, construing the EnglUh language
In accordance with the English dictionary to
the consternation of political Interpretation;
as assistant in a great Governmental ccpart
ment attracting the calcium of public observa
tion as though he was the department itself;
as a soldier heading his rough riders In spec
tacular gallop up San Juan hill, impressing
upon the records of the Spanish War Its cen
tral and distinctive tableau; as a rancher and
hunter, living in tent and saddle and having
the world count for him the mountain Hons
and bears, which after a brief acquaintance
with hla strenuosity, retired from life. (Laugh
tcr.) Bounding Into the Gubernatorial chair
of his native state; accepting the Vice-Presi
dency as a concession to party obligation; and
at last, all within moments as it were, as
pictures are thrown upon a screen, reaching
his present high position, sharing the sympathy
of the Nation's heart, in the eight of a people
whose eyes were dimmed with tears and in
the solemn grandeur of a funeral cortege.
Then, grasping the relna of government with
a grip unmistakably.. his own; placing bis pre
rogatlves superior to those' customs of so
called courtesy which had been mummifying
and now. today. In jth full gjaw'it the worjd:
Illuminated Interest, seizing with his twa
hand, at the very moment of opportunity, tie
pick which Is to build the great American
canal, our dream since the days of Jackson,
in 1S37. (Loud applause.) Truly, this Is mo
tion, this Is action, this Is life; this is the
spirit of the new century. Not a question of
years, but of performance.
Popular Love for Roosevelt.
But in all this rapid movement upon the
stage of National and International life, im
pulse has been more apparent than real. There
has been litUe of chance and nothing of Inde
terminate action. Therein lies the confidence
which sustains the popular love for Roosevelt,
A love confined not to party or faction of par
ty, above and beyond all local Influence, the
open verdict of the great American masses.
(Applause.) He la the product of his genera
tion, aggressive but serene. The world Is the
only ultimate of American principle, and the
century must advance the Irresistible march
through the years of path-clearing and seed
sowing which are our mlslon.
Toungest of the Presidents, be Is responsible
for the peace and welfare of territory and
people greater than any of his predecessors
controlled, and must meet conditions unprece
dented In our governmental system. His calm
confidence In himself and in his countrymen is
the strength of arm and certainty of mind
which makes him equal to the charge. Even
as he has met the lion of the mountain and
the bear of the forest, so with corresponding
aeir fq his subject, "Republican Ideals,"
he said that his subject at first had seen
the "Ideal Republican." But since he was
to sneak in Multnomah County he was
In great quandary as to what an Ideal
Republican might be; consequently he de
clined. Later, however, he accepted the
topic "Republican Ideals." Mr. Geer. then

equanimity he meets the Hon and the bear of

to territorial rights bold In protest to the
other against claws of persecution and fangs

In a word, gentlemen. Republicans, you in
whose hands reets the destiny of the country
for the coming four years at least, the blood
of youth is red within our Nation's veins.
With the energy of strong heart and steady
nerve it flows throughout our system. The
world gazes upon us, even as the old man
looks longingly upon the clustering curl, the
beaming eJ'e, the strong shoulders and sturdy
stride of early manhood. As he gazes, he
thinks upon his past and the past which pre
ceded his. He gauges the future by the ac
complishments he has known and witnessed,
and be apprehends better than does the youth
the possibilities that lie beyond. Sadly he
realizes that be, too, is of the past; that as
he moves off the stage In Nature's course, he
leaves a greatness that will exceed the greatest
he has known that as In his generation the
world . has moved, the old giving way to the
new, so with Increasing steadiness the move
ment will continue. The words of the poet
burn In his mind with pregnant meaning:
"And generations pass as they-iawe passed;
A troop of shadows moving with the sun. .r
The world belongs to those who come the last,"
So It is with nations' as the blood of passing
generations saps and dies. The blood of the
world Is centering In the West the energy of
the Wert finds vent in Roosevelt. (Applause.)
It Is the age of Rooceveit, and It Is the spirit
of Roosevelt. Increasing through the genera
tions, which will eventually Americanize the
world. (Applause.)
So tonight as we offer our tribute of love to
the memory of our martyred Lincoln, the
great commoner of his generation, he who
proved equal to the mighty charge his country
laid upon him, and reflect upon the conditions
which followed the tragedy of his taking-off
and the caliber of the man who stepped Into
his honored place, what should be our feel
