A Confederate Relio.
Bbinham, Tex., July 22.—To Tas News :
Mrs. Sarita B. Tamplet of Brenham, Wash-
ington county, has in hor possession a valua-
ble relic, the old battle and time worn flag of
the First Mississippi regiment, which was car-
ried all through the Mexican war by Ensign
George W. Campbell, her brave, noble and
fl&llant father. I am almost sure Mrs. Tamp-
et could be induced to part with this relic,
and it should be placed among the many relics
at the world's fair.
General T. N. Waul of your city could give
all information concerning the flag, as this
estimable and patriotic little woman en-
trusted to his care the flag, which was tokon
to the New Orloans confederate mooting and
was gazed upon by many old veterans with
tearful eyes.
A Friend.
New York, July 24. — [Special.] — A
morning paper publishes the following inter-
view with Bergtnann, the would-be assassin of
Friek, had in the jail at Pittsburg. The pris-
oner at first refused to say a word and retired
sullenly to the rear of his cell. Then he
turned, folded his arms calmly on his breast
and with a sneer said:
"Why should I speak to reporters? You are
all the slaves of capitalists. I know what I
have done and why I did it, but what business
is it of yours? If 1 say something to you you
don't like, you will not print it. When you
leave here you will write a long history about
me, no matter if I don't say a word. 1 don't
care to say anything."
The reporter addressed him in German.
The prisoner said in good German: "You'll
understand me better and I'll talk to you if
you do not ask mo tf>o much."
Before the reporter could'ask him a ques-
tion he came closo to the bars and asked
eagerly: "Is he dead yet?"
"Mr. Frick is still alive," the reporter said.
"His wounds may not be mortal."
An expression of disappointment came into
his face aB he answered: "I'm very sorry.
I thought he would be dead now."
"What did you shoot him for?"
"What did I shoot him for? Ha, ha! That's
a nice question to ask. Do you know any per-
son in the world who is the better or the purer
for his having lived? I can find thousands
whom he has mado miserable. Out in Home-
stead the peoplo will soon bo suffering the
pangs of hunger. Frick's thousands of strong
workers are now idle becnuBe lhey can not re-
turn to work without sacrificing their aelf-re-
spect. Whose fault is it? Mr. Frick's. Six
workingmeu were buried here last week: who
killed them? Mr. Frick. Does such a man
deserve to live? Ho is a dog, and should die.
I wanted to kill him, and I am ready to die
for it. I suppose you are going to describe
mo as a redhot anarchist. Well, say what you
like; it can not affect me.
"Do you live in'Pittsburg?"
"Oh, no; I simply came here to kill Frick.
It was not an accident and I have no hesita-
tion in telling you this, and it did not como
into my head all in an instant. I asked my
eelf: Is it worth while to sacrifice my life to
kill Frick? I decided that it was. I was only
one and my death would be nothing at all
compared with the happiness of the thousands
of workers who would bless my memory."
"Why did you want to kill Mr. Frick rather
than other rich men'"
"Oh, well, a beginning had to be made
eomewhere, and, besides, Friek was more
prominent just now aH an oppressor of the
poor than any other capitalist in the country.
Oh, how happy I would be to know that he is
deid. Do you understand. I wanted to kill
-r iTibk. 1 came hefo to do so. I am sorry I
did not kill him at once. Now I want him to
die."
"Did you intend to explode the cartridge
you had in your month if you werecaught?"
"That's hard to say. I wanted to have it
with me, as I did not know what would hap-
pen to me at the hands of the capitalists. I
had no immediate intention, though, of kill-
ing myself. I was not going to do it least be-
fore I was sure that Frick was dead."
Another Talk With Bergmann.
Pittsburg, Ph., July 24.—The criminal
riddle in the central police station stated to-
day that when he was ready (which would not
be until after his transfer to the county jail)
ho would make a written statement for the
Associated press, and until then he would de-
cline to answer any question. He was whistling
a sentimental air with some accuracy whon the
correspondent was admitted to the calaboose
People who remember the appearance of
Maxwell, the murderer of Preller. can form
an accufate impression of him by making the
nose more SemiticC. Ho is a slight built wiry
looking youth 22 years old, near sighted. Mid
wearing glasses. His most peculiar feat is
the mouth which is large and has two curious
flaps of flesh with the lips which when his
mouth is open still partially covers his upper
teeth. His chin is strong, his forehead
excellently shaped and ears stand from the
head. He may be a printer or ho might be a
school teacher. Tho only fault in his ap-
pearance is the shifty furtive ninnnerin which
he uses his eyos. Ho would not ba a notable
in a crowd, and would be classed indifferently
as a German Jew of sotne education. That he
is pleased with the notoriety which ho has
gained is evident, but that he is a dreamy
fanatic, and has gone over anarchistic litera-
ture, is also probable. Any study of his char-
acter must fail until some facts about him are
brought out, and these are being eagerly
sought. He has been photographed twice,
taking the operation good naturedly enough
and evidently trying to get a good picture.
He reads the papers closely and while mak-
ing no comments upon the news is manifestly
much interested in what they say, especially
in the editorials.
The day wbs a sweltering one here and
Bergmann had arranged his toilet to suit tho
weather. He had nothing on but a shirt and
a pair of brown trousers and he was evidently
suffering from the heat.
"I can say nothing yet," he said; "there is
nothing to say. No good will come from any
information that I give. When I get ready,
which will not be until I go to jail, I will
write a letter to the Associated pross, which
will tell why I did this."
It was noted while he talked that tug Ger-
man accont wavered as though it were par-
tially artificial.
"1 have already said to the police all it is
necessary for them to know. I have commit-
ted no crime. I have no regrets."
"What is the truth about your connection
with Most's Freiheit?"
"I had none. Most is saying false when he
says he knows mo or that 1 worked on his
paper. My name ib not on his books. I have
done book work but not newspaper work."
"Are you a Hungarian?"
"You will learn soon."
Nor could any more information be gotten
which amounted to anything whatever, Ho

was ready enough to listen to anything that
might be said to him, but his answers were
difficult to get and spoken in a low, almost in-
audible tone.
Bergmann is a very dociie prisoner, obeying
orders cheerfully enough, but he has no very
strong affection for the police and he avoids
them as much as he can. Whether ho has
been two days or two weeks in Pittsburg is
not known. The clerk of tho Mechanics
hotel has identified the prisoner as Simon
Roachtnan who stayed one night in his house.
The suit of clothes in which Bergmann made
his furious attack on Friek was bought here;
so was his hat.
lie 6ays he bought his revolver in the
Bowery, in New York, but this was doubted.
Nothing whatever was found upon hitn
which gives a clue. He seems to have de-
liberately takon every precaution to conceal
his identity before going to Frick's office and
had his plan of committing suicide upon ar-
rest beon successful ho would have remained
a mystery, because the bomb would have
blown his face away, leaving him a corpse
that no one could recognize.
Huston on tile Homestead Strike.
Boston, Mass., July 23.—[Special.]—A. F.
Huston, vice president of the Lukens
iron and steel company of Philadelphia,
with works at Coatesville, Pa., is visit-
relatives in. Cambridge. Speaking of tho
Homestead strike Mr. Huston said to a
reporter: "As regards the merits of the case I
am in sympnthy with the Carnegie company.
In the western part of Pennsylvania—in fact
in the whole of Pennsylvania—the wages of
workers in iron and steel mills have been ex-
cessively high, and such labor in Pittsburg and
vicinity eotnmands higher wages than
nny place east of it. The reason for this is
that the Amalgamated association is stronger
in the western part of Pennsylvania than any
place elsewhore. An example of the extraor-
dinary wages paid these skilled Workmen is
that of Morehead Bros, of Pittsburg. By the
introduction of new machinery one man is
able to handle more tons, and tho Amalga-
mated association insists nevertheless on the
rate per ton. Tho rollers in the vicinity of
Pittsburg are no more skilled than others in
the eastern part of the state.
"As regards the change in the fiscal year
which tho Carnegie company proposes, I can
not see how that can affect the strikers. I do
not believe that where coal is so chaap the
necessity of workers can become sufficiently
pressing to make such a contract against
their interest.
"In the matter of the Pinkertons, the facts
are that theso men were private citizens, hired
as watchmen to guard the Homestead steel
works as one hires a r, atchman to guard one's
factory at night. If the strikers fired on tho
men first they put themselves outside tho pale
of the law, though it would be difficult to
identify these men, and, beyond this, it is
probable that it would be difficult to obtain a
jury that would convict them."
As to the outcome of the strike, Mr. Huston
expressed himself as confident that in the end
tho strikers would be compelled to yield, al-
though it may be months before the works
can be put in operation.
"I believe the present trouble will subside
without any especial results, in the same way
that the Knights of Labor troubles blew over
several years ago."
An Attempt to Poison the Frick Household.
New York, July 24.—[Special.]—A Wheel-
ing, W. Va., special to the World Bays: "A
sensational chapter has been added to the
Frick tragedy by the receipt of a startling
letter in this cit^ last .eyejs jap.••• jjftbort Alcjfc
ander, a Pittsburg frescoo? working here, last
evening received a letter from his sweetheart,
who is employed as a domestic in the Frick
household. She said that within tho last four
days a desperate attempt had been made to
poison the entire Friek household. Mrs. Frick
and her infant son were made dangerously
sick and the wife of Frick's coachman is in a dy-
ing condition. Strenuous efforts, the writor
said, have been made to suppress the facts,
while detectives were employed to ferret out
the perpetrators of the outrage. The letter
appears to be genuine."
A Notice nt Homestead Mill.
Pittsbuhg, Pa., July24.—Secretary Lovejoy
authorizes the statement that there aro be-
tween 400 and 500 men in Homestead mill and
as many more will go in to-morrow. The fol-
lowing will be posted in and about the Home-
stead steel works on Monday:
Notice—To all men who enter our employ
after July 1,1892: In no case and under no
circumstances will a single one of you be dis-
charged to make room for another man. Y'ou
will keep your respective positiom so long as
you attend to your duties. Positive orders to
this elfect have been given to the general su-
perintendent. By order board of managers.
Carneoie Steel Company.
H. C. Fbick, Chairman.
Denounced at Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 24.—[Special.]—When
the news that Frick had been shot and se-
riously injured reached the headquarters of
the millworkers, the men were loud in de-
nouncing the assassin. President Weihe was
much affected over the news. He said: "It was
with the utmost regret that I heard of the
shooting of Mr. Frick and I denounce the ac-
tion of the assailant. He was an assassin at
heart and an enemy not only to the country,
but to organized labor all over the United
States. I hope the greatest punishment tho
law allows will bo the reward of tho dastardly
and cowardly assailant of Mr. Frick."
Chairman Frick's Condition.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 24.—Frick slept well
during the night and rested easily to-day. He
seems quite confident of his recovery. The
patient passed the day listening to lettsre and
telegrams and dictating replies.
It is the intention of his associates in the
company to let Mr. Frick continue the direc-
tion of the contest at Homestead from his
house, as they believe that the worry and
anxiety of enforeed idleness in such a crisi9
would do him more harm than the work itself.
Labor Demonstration at Tonngatown.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 24.—A labor demon-
stration at Youngstown, O., yesterday after-
noon was hold under the direction of tho
amalgamated association to take action with
regards to affairs at Homestead. Thirteen
lodges of the amalgamated and labor organ-
ization turned out. While the procession was
forming a bulletin announcing the shooting
of H. C. Frick caused a sensation in tho ranks.
Addresses were doliverod by members of the
association and prominent Youngstown men.

WHERE IS ABRAHAMSKY?
The Story of a Russian Jewess Chasing
Her Fugitive Husband.
St. Louis, Mo., July 21.—jSpecial.]—Six
years ago, in the little town of Filfla, Russia,
within the Jewish pale, there occurrod a wed-
ding between Schmuel Abrahamsky, a promi-
nent sSoe dealer there, and Sarah Withausky,
one of the prettiest girls in the J ewiah quar-
ter. For two years everything went along
happy. Children wore born and Providence
seemed to smile upon them. But the aveng-
ing wrath of the Russian czar fell upon the
Jewish portion of the village and Sehmuel
was obliged to flee for his life, leaving his
wife and children behind him. Like most
Russian Hebrews he managed to mako lus
way to America. At first tho wife heard from
him regularly, but later the letters began to
come further apart and finally ceased entirely.
Sarah waited patiently for further tidings,
when one day a letter came from an old coun-
try friend to her telling her that her husband
was soon to be married again in Buffalo,
N. V.
With a heart full of jealousy and fear the
young wife hastily paolted lu,r things and hur-
ried toward the new wofM to prevent, if pos-
sible, the coiisummatiou of the crime and the
injury to herself. She came just in time, ar-
riving on tho night of tho wedding. The
guilty husband finding himself cornered
threw over tho prospective brido under fear
of arrest, consenting to live again with his
real wife.
However, after a five months' experiencahe
tired of her and disappeared, hut the lawful
eomnanion of his joys and sorrows wan not
content to give him up. She set out to find
him again and traced him from place to place,
he just evading her. < >nce she met him in
Denver on the street, and uuee in Chicago, but
ho escaped both times before she could have
him arrested. Not long ago sho heard that
her husband had settled iii St. Louis, and sho
came here immediately. Yesterday noon she
had the good luck to tnoet him on Washing-
ton street, and he, recognizing her, ran. Find-
ing that he went to 1501 Washington street alia
came at once to Assistant Prosecuting Attor-
ney Estey's offico. but ho had left. She was
taken to Chief Harrigan'a offico, where she
told her story, and the chief gav3 orders to
C'apt. Joyce to arrest Abrahauisky wherever
ho could be found.
DENVER'S SENSATION,
Two Prisoners Brought in Charged With
the Moffat Robbery.
Dkxver, Col., July 24.—[Special.]—A great
sensation was created shortly before midnight
to-night by the bringing into town of J. H.
Cross and J. Daniels, who are charged as
principal and accomplice in tho robbery of
David F. Moffat, president of tho First na-
tional bank of this place. It will be remem-
bered on March 19,1889, a daring robber en-
tered tho First national bank in broad day-
light and at the point of his revolver forced
Mr. Moffat to give up $21,000, with which the
thief mad# good his $*«$>• ■ . —
The arrest of Cross and Daniels was maSe
by Detective W. T. Sawyer, who claims that
He has beon working on the case for two years.
Daniels confoased to Sawyer that Cross was
the robber, and that he (Daniels) had helped
to pass some of the money, which consisted of
bilis of large denominations.
Cross was arrested at Elbert, Col., sixty
miles from Denver, where he has been living
on a ranch for over two years.
Daniels has been in a store for some time.
Cross denied all knowledge of the robbery.
Cool Highway Robber.
Palo Pinto, Tex., July 23.—A cool high-
way robbery was committed in Lako creek,
seven miles south of this place, on tho Gordon
road last night. Herberl ( 'row, Mrs. M. J.Crow,
Mrs. Leo Young and Mrs. Baasett, who were
on their way home from Stephensonville by
wagon to Mineral Wells, were encamped for
tho night. About midnight Mrs, Crow was
awakoned by a man's voice and upon
looking out of the wagon saw a masked
man standing beside tho wagon with
his pistol thrust in the faoo of young Crow
and demanding his money. Crow immedi-
ately gavo up what money he had on his per-
son, which was only 50 cents. The
robbers had secured Mr. Crow's gun
before making their presence known. They
then disappeared in the darkness, warning
them to keep quiet and make no pursuit. Mr.
Crow came to town and notified tho officers,
who are now in hot pursuit of the robbers
with fair prospects of their capture. A man
answering the description of the highwayman
passed through here early this morning.
Later—Officers returned with a young man
giving the namo ot -1. W. Williamson from
lano county. He says ho was on his way to
the nation to take up land, while the parties
can not positively identify, as the robbery was
committed in the night.
Severe Thunder Storm at Cleveland.
Cleveland, 0., July 24.—The most terrific
storm of the season struck Cleveland thiaeven-
ing. The day had been intensely hot, the
temperature reaching 95 degreeB. Between G
and 7 o'clock there was a brief rain storm. It
was followed by a second storm. Clouds black
as ink came up in the west and passed half way
over tho city before tho storm broke. The
rain foil in torrents, swept along by the high
wind. It was impossible to see across tho
street except when blinding flashes of lightning
came. Horse and electric street cars stopped,
and passengers huddled together in alarm.
Tho rainfall was 3 inches, and the streets were
flooded. Lightning played havoc with tele-
phone and telegraph wires, but as far as
learned no damage to buildings resulted.
A Technicality to Save Col, King,
Nashville, Tenn., July 23.—II. Clay King,
sentenced to be hanged August 12, to-day filed
in the United States circuit court a petition
for writ of habeas corpus and obtained from
Judge Howell E. Jackson an order upon tho
sheriff of Shelby county to answer tho poti-
tion next Wednesday before him in Nashville,
Ex-Attorney General Garland is counsel for
Colonel King, in connection with the attor-
neys who defended hitn before the state court.
Tho principal count in the petition for
a writ of habeas corpus is based upon the
fact that during the trial in tho criminal court
of Memphis the jury was permitted to go on
an excursion across tho river into Arkansas,
and was thus out of the jurisdiction of the
court during tho trial.

it should bo the policy of the Dominion gov-
ernment to cultivate the most friendly rela-
tions with the United States, but it is good to
understand that "this is not to be brought
about by lying down and allowing tho Ameri-
cans to walk over us. They have deliberately
set about enrrymg out measures intended to
annoy and injure this country; they have re-
fused seamstresses living in Sarnia tho right
to earn their living in I'ort Huron; they have
tumbled French-Canadiau immigrants from
a train at the border; they have put linemen
in jail who have crossed tho frontier for the
purpose of making some trilling repairs on
the International telegraph line; they have
refused to allow our sailors to seek employ-
ment on their vessels without first forswearing
all allegiance to the native land; they aro now
endeavoring to turn tho Grand Trunk ticket
agent out of Buffalo because his family reside
in Canada, and they threaten to impose an al-
most confiscatory tariff on Canadian vessels
passing through the Sault Ste. Marie canal.
Very good. It is the duty of our government,
under tho circumstances, to return blow for
blow. Americans employed in this country
should be dealt with precisely as Canadian la-
borers are dealt with across tho line. If the
Americans want a light and nothing else will
do, give thein enough of it."
Tho Montreal Star pays: "It is clearly
idle to point out to the Washington authori-
ties that they have wantonly violated the
very treaty upon which their claims to the
free use of tho Welland canal are based. They
are not in logical mood just now. The drum
of the campaign is too loud in the lnnd. They
are determined to bat at us as a British
community, and the position of affairs at the
Welland canal makes a good enough pretext.
All that is left for us to do is to clour our
decks for action. In the first place nny
injury they can do us at Sault Ste. Mario will
be merely temporary. By autumn of 1893
we are promised our own canal; then wo
will be independent of our natural
allies from Port Arthur to the sea. But they
with all their boasting will be at
our mercy. Suppose we close the Welland
against them, what can they do? and oven if
they at great expense did duplicate this work
around tho Buffalo peninsula then as Con-
gressman laud told his hot-headed colleagues,
they can not build a St. Lawrence river. We
absolutely control the greatest waterway on
thiB continent, and the game of blocking it is
one wo can enter upon with all the advan-
tages on our side. Then there can be no
doubt but that the St. Clair fiats aro ours, and
this is a poipt our government can not raise
too soon. THe"ft we Bah step American ves-
sels at St. Clair, Welland and at St. RegiB,
while they can only check us for a year at
Sault Ste. Marie."
Tho Toronto Globe discuss the question dis-
passionately.
An African Expedition,
London, July 24.—[Special.]—The Times
says that tho Marquis do Beaucliamps, a col-
league of Captain Stalers and Captaia Bod-
son in the ill fated Catanga expedition, has
landed at Marseilles. He describes how tho
Meirs attaoked the expedition and how Cap-
tain Stalers sent Captain Bodson to the king
of the Meirs to parley with him. A Meir was
about to kill Captain Bodson when tho latter,
in self defense, shot the Meir. Captain Bod-
son was then himself killed by the natives.
The expedition had been for twenty-six
days without food except white ants and lo-
custs.
The Belgian mission was reached just in
time to save the surviving members of the ex-
pedition from starvation. Subsequently they
tried to reach the coast byway of the Zambesi
river. Captain Stalers waB ill for a long time
and he died at Shinde. One hundred and
ninety natives attached to the expedition also
perished.

Quarantine for Smallpox.
Milwaukee, Wis., July 24.—[Special.!—A
car containing seventeen German immigrants
is uuarantiued in the Chicago and Northwest-
ern yards, because one of them, a boy, has
smallpox. The party left New York immedi-
ately after the landing of the vessel and
passed through Chicago yesterday. The dis-
ease is well defined and the boy is very sick,
but the health officers think he will recover.
The patient and the rest of the family wero
removed to the pest house. The other immi-
grants will, if it is certain they can, be safely
allowed to go on. They have not been out of
their car in Milwaukee and it is believed the
disase can not spread.
AN INFORMAL DUEL.
The City Marshal of Georgetown Shoots
an Officer.
Georgetown, Tex., July 24.—City Marshal
C. J. Brady shot and killed Deputy Sheriff
James Burrell here last night. The story of
the trouble leading up to the killing ia told by
eye witnesses as follows: There had been
some misunderstanding between Deputy Bur-
roll and Marshal Brady over tho arrest of
some parties who had beon engaged in a street
fight yesterday, Burrell claiming that the
juBtieo's court Bhould try tho cases and Brady
claimed them for the mayor's court.
About 11 o'clock last night Burrell, in com-
pany with two other parties, wore in Markin's
saloon when Brady entered and engaged in
conversation with Markin, the proprietor of
the saloon. Something was said by Brady in
reference to the street fight, whon Burrell
asked Brady if he was talking about him.
Brady answered in the negative, and told Bur-
rell to let him alone; that, he did not want
any trouble with him. Filially Burrell gave
Brady the lio and Brady struck him with his
fist, but did not knock him down. Burrell
drew his pistol and opened fire oh Brady, the
first shot cutting the end of the middle finder
on the left hand. Brady fell over some chairs
and as he rose he drew his pistol and tho duel
commenced. Brady fired threo shots and
Burrell two. When tho firing ceased Burrell's
body lay on the sidewalk with a bullet hole
through his heart. The ball entered the right
side and came out at the left side.
Brady immediately sought Sheriff Olive,
gave himself up and had a surgeon to ampu-
tate his finger. He was placed undor a $1009
bond to make his appearance before the ex-
amining court Monday.
There were some twenty persons standing
bv ready to go on the bond, but tfie court
stopped them when ho thought tho bond was
good.
Air. Brady has beon marshal of this city for
nearly tea years. He has a wife and five
small children. Mr. Burroll leavos a wife and
nine children.

A FEW DAYS OF MORE ACTIVE
TRADING IN STG0K3.
Vanderbilts, Sugar and Cordage in the
Lead—Erie Doing Well—Comparative
Figures—Notes on Reading.
New York, .Tuly 24.—[Special.]—Another
week to Wall street of utter stagnation was
averted by a little stirring up of the market
done by Mr. Keene, who, returning from a
short holiday, found things in a state of flat
dullness aud applied a little bull stimulus to
thetn. Two or three days of activity in trad-
ing, with somo advance in prices, resulted.
As tho market responded quite readily to this
manipulation it seems reasonable to infer that
uioro sustained efforts in the same direction
may bring larger results.
Tho Vanderbilt Btocks, sugar and cord-
age had the most advance. Cordage recovered
its dividend, as it was estimated here last
week it would very likely do. Deacon White
was running around a good deal and doing a
large amount of bull talking. Meanwhile ha
slid out of his holdings of sugar and then lit
out for Bar Harbor. The realizing sales
checked the advance of tho stock, which yes-
terday showed a tendency to go back. The
talk about tho Vanderbilts is largely what big
earnings the road will make out of the world's
fair.
Something might be said in the Barne line
about Erie. That road is doing pretty well.
In 188" it earned $1,600,000. In 1888 it earned
$3,000,000. This is not an increase on the
same mileage. Its surplus over fixed charges
last year was $1,057,000, out of which it paid
30 per cent dividend on the preferred stock,
1—50,000, leaving a balance of $800,000. Its in-
crease of oarnings in the Beveu months of the
current fiscal year to June 1 aggregated $1,443,-
000. Tho road is ill flue physical condition,
well equipped, steel railed, interlocking and
block signals, and by universal consent
is honestly well managed. That seetna
like a pretty good record for tho
property. There is a floating debt to take
care of, which might properly be placed in
offset to the good things; but while the gross
debt looks large, the net d' bt is not groat and
should give no trouble. Bull points on tha
stock have been rather freo lately, while tho
price of it has not moved; but, looking into
the condition of the property, it really appears
that there is reason for these points. There
is a good deal of sound material upon which
to bull Erie. If the Vanderbilt roads aro to
get so much out of the Chicago business, why
should not tho other trunk lines get something?
The western stocks avo not done much
except St. Paul, which the pool keep active.
The big earnings reported by the northwest
road is ovor $150,000 inerenao por weak,
caused from fractional advance in price of
the stock but a bearish influence was exerted
by the row over the withdrawal of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy from tho
Wostern traffic association.
"It means a big fight" was tho report from
Chicago. Probably not; theso road.-, huve had
their big fights. They are not hankering lor
any more. They will doubtless continue to
get business on the tame terms as they have
beon getting for six months. So an
an impartial observer can aoo thoso
terms have been within lines defined by
the rules of tlic association. The only rulea
that a railroad manager seems willing to ob-
serve are those which make for his own
road, l'robubly the western roads will mako
just as much or little money whether the
Western traffic association exists or not.
Evoii such a monopoly as the anthracite
coal was the scene of wranglings, finally leav-
ing it to the present combination, which was
forced by the alternative of u destructive con-
test or peace by common ownership of stock.
Perhaps the combination will make Reading
a dividend paying stock, and perhaps it won't.
Thero aro a good many factors in that prob-
lem. But it might be well for the Heading
literary bureau to hold off at the publication
of each monthly statement this noisy asser-
tion of what brilliant things tho next month ia
to show. For several months we have had the
same thing repeated—great claims turned in-
to apologetic explanations and big promises
for I he next statement.
The J une statement ia being apologized for
now and the usuril big things promised for all
that will follow it. Thero is a Bnag this coal
combination may rnn against which may
trouble it for years—labor. Tho labor of tha
mining regions is largely of the same class,
which is the dangerous, ignorant and uncon-
trollable element in the Pennsylvania iron
industries. It was imported from tho peo-
ple of tho .-nost ignorant parts of Europe
because it could be got cheap. Cheap labor
which is docile 19 poor stulf as a rule; cheap
labor which is not docile is dangerous. In
regions where angry mobs of 10U0 may bo
gathered, of which only 6 por cent speak
English, the labor problem ia always a se-
rious one.
Two weekB ago the Drexel, Morgan & Co.
incident in Richmond terminal affairs
was already a thing of the past. This is con-
firmed bj^tlie action of the reorganization
committee of three and the Richmond ter-
minal and the Richmond and Danville ad-
visory committee of seventeen. At the meet-
ing held on Wednesday the committee waa
unanimous in indorsing and approving Mr.
Clyde's successful negotiation for an exten-
sion for two years of the antiro floating debt
of both companies. This relieves the situa-
tion of all outside financial pressure and gives
the necessary time and opportunity for tho
holders of the various classes of security each
to aeo what they have loft and what sacrifices
and agreements they should make themselves
nnd with each other tor mutual benefit and
protection. It also gives time to recover
whatever may bo justly duo from those who
may have wronged these companiesor may owo
them anything. This item alono may make it
sufficient to greatly ameliorate the aituation.
Beside this, it ia reasonable to expect that
two years of honest, intelligent management,
with improved business conditions probablo
in tho south within that time, will so far re-
establish tho credit of the Richmond and
Danville securities that the floating debt may
bo liquidated by sales at fair prices of tho col-
lateral upon which it ia now carried. Thero
is a sensible method of making tho beat of tha
situation, and though it be a bad aituation avoid
making it worse, and give security holders all
the chances of makitig it better. Mr. Clyde's
policy seems to have arrested the demoraliza-
tion nmong the uufortunato bondholders,
and turn their thoughts to thoso of the cred-
itors. The Howards are trying sensibly to
holp themselves, inatead of going m distress
and discredit to Drexel, Morgan & Co. or any-
one elae.
This week a committee representing tha
holders of the 5 and 6 per cent collateral trust
bonds will meot for consultation with tho ad-
visory committee of seventeen.
