KING EDWARD SOVEREIGNS
Dank of KnRland Make- the Pint
Issue to Succeed Victorian
?1
Coins.
(Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Jan. 25. (Now York World
Cablegram Special Tolegram.) The Bank
ot England has mado thn first Issue, a com
paratively limited ono, ot tho now King
Edward sovereigns (gold pieces worth about
$5 each ln American money), Tho portrait
of tho king on the coins Is ln profile.
Bound tho edgo Is tho instrlptlon: "Ed
ward VII D. O. Brltt. Omn. Bex F. D,
Ind. Imp." Tho revcrso sldo Is occupied
by tho familiar and beautiful figure ot St
Oeorgo and the dragon, the only change
being tho date, 1902. Tho last Issuo ot
gold coins of new pattern was In 1893 and
tho provlous ono tn 1SS7, when Queen Vic
toria celebrated her Jublloo.
Now, as on those occasions, a certain
number of i!2 and 5 gold pieces havo
been minted. Half (sovereigns have, ot
course, also been minted, and nn Issue of
tho new bronze coinage, pennies at all
evonts, Is expected. Silver, It seems, Is
not required yet, tho amount In circulation
now being ample. Thcro will be no general
withdrawal ot tho old coinage. The new
coins will simply be Issued as the demand
for them urlsos. When sovereigns roturn
to tho Bank of England they are tested
for weight and It light they go to be re
coined. It Is ln such fashion that the
King Edward sovereigns will gradually, it
must bo a process ot years, take the place
of Queen Victoria sovereigns. Among
numismatists there appears to be a doubt
wehther the new sovereign Is quite so
handsome a coin as the last Victorian Issue,
The devoted affection ot Queen Alexandra
and her secretary, Hon, Cbarlotto Knollys
for one another has often beon romarked
upon by those who know ot It as something
not only rare, but very charming, for Miss
Knollys Is outsldo of the royal caste. Miss
Knollys conies from onu of tho oldest fum
Hies in tho kingdom, though ono whoso
connection with tho court began as long
ago as the days of Edward the Black Prlnco
prlnco.
Another circumstance Is that ber
brother, Sir Francis Knollys, occupies ln
the king's household the same position that
sho does n tho queen's, that ot prlvato
secretary.
It was more than twenty years ago that
Miss Knollys entered the then princess ot
Wales' household, and hor affection and
vlgllanco havo never relaxed for an Instant
It Is an open sccrot that tho court re
malned In London over Christmas mainly
because, for the first tlmo for many years,
Miss Knollys was Incapacitated from ac
companylng her royal mistress to tho coun
try, nnd the queon, whoso own cold was
slight, did not care to leave her friend ill
and lonely to spend the Christmas days in
solitude.

CHICAGO, Jan. 25. When tho second
day's Inquiry by tho Interstate Commerce
commission Into tbo community ot Interest
combination of the great railways of tho
northwest opened today great Interest was
manifested in James J. Hill's testimony.
Tho United States court room, where tho
Investigation was held, was crowded with
well known railway men from all over tho
country, nil eager to learn moro of tho
details of tho Inner workings ot tho gigantic
Northern Securities company from tho mustor
mind that conceived It. Possibly as much
lntorpst centered around E. II. Harrlman,
who organized tho Southern Pacific-Union
Pacific comblno and who was Mr. Hill's
opponent In tho struggle tor tho Northern
aclflc-Burlington control. Mr. Hill was
present ln court and wus scheduled to fol
low Harrlman on tho stand. Olhcr proml
ncnt railway men present who wore to
completo tho Investigation were C. S. Mol-
len, president of tho Northern Pacific, and
Goorgo B. Harris, president of tho Bur
lington. Ilnrrlmim Mnkea Statement.
'When Mr. Harrlman went, on tho stand
tho lino of questioning by W. A. Day, coun
sel tor tbo commission, led up to a state
ment of tho great Wall streot panic last
May, when Northern Pacific went up to
$1,000 a dhare. Mr. Harrlman testified that
tho Oregon Short Line, aided by tho Union
nclfic, had purchased somo $78,000,000 of
Northern Pacific stock nnd that tho Union
Pacific through tho voice of its directors
controlled tho Southern. Pacific.
It was developed that all this Northern
'aclflc stock which was hold In tho names
ot E. II. Harrlman and Wlnslow Pierco was
sold laet summer. An effort was mado to
learn why the purchase had been mado only
to sell again and this brought from Mr,
Harrlman the statement that ho was glad
to explain the so-called "contest" ln tho
Now York Stock exchaxgo which resulted
In tho famous "Black 'hursday."
"I don t think there was any contest,
said Mr. Harrlman. "Some ot us, tbo Ore
gon Short IJno people, thought It would be
advantageous to have an Interest ln North
em Pacific and purchased stock that was
lying loose all over this country and held
by E.OOO or 7,000 persons. Wo mado no con
test for tho control of tho etock, wo pur
chased a majority of tho capital Block. Wo
purchased prior to the supposed contest
and no stock was acquired during tho panic
In May."
Mr. Day tried to show that tho contest
for Northern Pacific .stock was tho fore
runner of the panic on tho exchange, but
Mr. Harrlman Insisted that such was not
tho case.
"homo or tho stock," ho continued, "wo
had bought ln markets all over tbo world.
Somo ot this was on tho way from theso
various markets to bo delivered. In tha
meantime tho sellers borrowed."
Questions were then put that Indicated
'Jobbing" had boon resorted to in tho pur
chase nnd which brought the reply: "Tho
stock was purchased ln New York from
persons who bought from owners. Then
when tho so-called contest came nnd tho
stock was demanded, tho sellers found it
difficult to fulfill tho contracts. Our Inter
eets tn every caso gave thoso persons all
tho tlmo they wanted."
Seek Information ReirnrdlnK Sale
An attempt was mado by the commission
to draw statements to tho effect that the
final sale of Northern Paclfio stock by tho
Oregon Short Line (as controlled by tho
Union Pacific-Southern Pacific syndicate)
was only after an understanding or a truco
with Mr. Hill and tho supposed Interests
that combattod for Northern Pacific ln tho
panic.
Mr. Harrlman said that after tbo pur
chase was made he and his colleagues
thought tne matter over again and they
thought better to soli again. He implied
that It made no difference really who owned
Northern Pacific. Commissioner Prouty
asked: "If you bad secured a few moro
millions ot Northern Paclfio It would havo
mado a difference, would It not?"
"Wo could have had It," was tho reply,
Tho nuestous ns to Just why Mr. Harrl
man had disposed ot his Northern Pacific
holdings, what was loet or mado by the
transaction, and whether Mr. Hill had mado
somo agreement In caso tho holdings were
sold, brought from Mr. Harrlman tho re
sponse that natural conditions controlled.
He said he did not know ot any gain made
except that his Interests found out that
they were strong enough to hold tholr own
In Paclfio traffic. Ho said his impression
was that tho Oregon Short Line had not lost
by the transfer. He Bald Mr. Hill had given
no assurances of any division oi tralllo and
that tho motive ot tho original purchaso had
beon that of preserving to the Union Pa
clfio system the avenues of tralllo open to It.
"You wish to represent that no ono of tho
othor half ot tho Northern, Paclfio Interests
mado any promise ln control?" asked Mr.
Day.
Suya HoiiiIn Have Co nun on Intereat.
Mr. Harrlman replied: "There Is a com
mon interest among us all and wo beliovo
common intorest will be served regardless
of holdings. That common Intcrost can be
served by natural conditions. Our Interests
aro so in common that wo cannot Injure
others without Injuring ourselves." Mr.
Harrlman Insisted that the common interest
of all systems now affiliated under tho
Northern Securities company must be con
sidered rather than the so-called "Commu
nity ot interests." Ho said be was a mem
ber of the board of directors of the Securi
ties company and Mr. Hill was Its presi
dent, but tho commission under that com
pany affected rates In no wise until ho told
how, shortly utter tho scramble over North
ern Pacific stock, Mr. Morgan had beon
given a proxy by him In order to Bell tho
stock again.
It was understood the salo was to bo
effected in cash and securities, tho latter In
