that, as a consequence very high waters, if

swers Questions of Probers,
OWNS NO COAL MINE STOCK
Philadelphia, June 11.—The special
committee appointed by the directors
of the Pennsylvania Rairoad company
to investigate the charges of discrim-
ination and rebating recently made
against the company propounded a
series of questions to President A. J.
Cassatt,
In his answers Mr. Cassatt says he
does not own stock, and is not di-
rectly interested in coal companies
that ship their product over the Penn-
sylvania railroad. He further says
that since becoming president in 1899
he performed no service in connection
with the receipt or transportation of
freight, and has had no connection
with the distribution of cars or fur-
nishing sidings. He also says he
never received any gifts or bonus ef
of any nature from any coporation.
In concluding his answers to the
questions Mr. Cassatt says:
“You will observe that the only coal
stock owned by me since becoming
president of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company is the shares of the Millwood
Coal and Coke company, which stock
has been sold, but in view of the re-
peated rumors of my being a holder of
stocks of the Keystone Coal and Coke
company, the Berwind-White Coal Min-
ing company and the Henrietta Coal
company, and of my being interested in
the firm of Cassatt & Co. I think it
proper to state that I never owned or
had any interest in the stocks of the
Keystone Coal and Coke company or
of the Henrietta Coal company, nor
have I ever had any in the
firnf of Cassatt & Co. I never ©

HIS ELECTION IS CONCEDED
Dover, Del, June 12.—~Col. Henry
A. Dupont, of Wilmington, defeated J.
Edward Addicks in the contest for the
vacant seat from Delaware in the
United States senate. Mr. Dupont was
selected to fill the vacancy by a cau-
cus of the Republican members of the
legislature, which was in session for
several hours. The acticn of the cau-
| cus ends a contest that has continued
for 11 years, during which time Ad-
dicks was the candidate of the Union
Republicans for United States sena-
tor.. The legislature will meet today
(Tuesday) in special session, and each
house will take a separate vote for
United States senator, and the two
houses will meet jointly on Wednes-
day to verify the vote. Dupont's elec-
tion is conceded by the Addicks fol
lowing.
There was a full attendance of
members of both wings of the Repub-
licans at the caucus. There was a
long discussion, and when the vote
was finally taken it stood: Dupont,
20: Addicks, 10; H. H. Wand, 1.
Following the announcement of the
vote, Senator Conners, an Addicks
supporter, made a motion that Du-
pont’s selection be made unanimous,
which was adopted.
The Democrats have criticised Gov-
ernor Lea for calling an extra session
of the legislature to elect a senator,
and have declared they will take no
part in the voting.
DEMOCRAT MUST LEAD
Guffey Says Party Man Must Head
Ticket In Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, June 9.—There is no
longer any possibility of misunder-
standing the attitude of Colonel James
M. Guffey, the Democratic state leader
and national committeeman, so far as
the make-up of the Democratic state
| ticket this year is concerned. Colonel
Guffey would welcome fusion with the
Lincolnites and other independent
forces in the state, but it must be fu.
sion with a Democrat at the head of
the ticket.
When seen at the Hotel Walton and
acked as to the possibility of a fusion
deal between the Democrats and the
independent Republicans, with Lewis
Emery, Jr, the Lincoln Party candi-
date, for governor as the standard-
bearer of the forces allied against the
Republican organization, Colonel Guf-
at the head of our ticket. I will be glad
for fusion alonz those lines, but the
candidate for governor must be a Dem-
ocrat.
“You know we are here to attend an
adjourned meeting of the state execu-
tive committee that has been called to
consider certain business that was not
completed at the recent session of the
committee. The meeting will draw a
number of the Democratic leaders from
different parts of the state. Naturally,
the state convention and the state sit-
