Protective committee election fight over Boston & Albany Central stake
The hostile proxy struggle over the Boston & Albany and New York Central rail lines centers on a protective committee slate seeking control of the board and a new lease. President Bliss disputes authorization of his name on the ticket while Chauncey Depew warns terms remain doubtful. Samuel Hoar and other directors pledge to run on the existing board if the slate fails. About one third of shareholders are women, many traveling long distances for voting days and shopping.

Dewey Sees Filipino War Aims as Mixed Yet Promising
The Evening Post prints an alleged Dewey interview praising his sailors as the best in the world while offering candid views on the Philippines and Aguinaldo. He questions Otis’s breadth of power, doubts self governance for Filipinos now, and predicts eventual acceptance if treated well. He rejects politics, calls himself a sailor, and dodges German chatter.
