An International Trust.

1t Is well known that the wealth Of the
Rothschilds is back Of the copper trust, but
ii has not been generally known that this fl
nancial family was engaged in any operation
of this sort. 1t now appears, however, from
some investigations made by London journ-
alist, that they have been going into the
trust business pretty extensively of late In
fact, 1t Is said that the house has practically
begun to 60 out Of the business Of lending
credit to governments in straitened eircum-
stances and integds to pursue more ucra-
tive line of business, leaving banking to
houses like the Bleichroders and Hirsches.
1t is asserted that one Of the objects OF Jay
GOuld's visit to Europe was TO talk over
matters with Baron Rothschild and enter In
to a sort of q pooling agreement Tor Joint
control of American and European markets
for certain products. 1t seems that these
money kings and their associates In America
and here have come TO the conclusion that
the great tiel0 for capital hereafter Will Dc IN
the line Of consultations, with view 70
economy of production and enhancement OF
prices. The scheme is alleged to be to form
trusts in connection with all the articles that
are produced directly from the earth, espec-
tally minerals and oils. 1t Is also SAID that
gold and silver trusts are well under way IL
Is asserted that it is in this particular dlrec,
tion that the fine Italian hand OF Mr.. Gould
is at work. The story is that he poured into
the willing ears Of the Rothschilds and their
satellites tale of how coin values can De en-
hanced by the limitation OF productlon'
greatly TO the advantage OF holders OF secur-
tiles with an expressed or implied gold clause
in them; for instance, United States bonds,
of which Jay is said TO own few.

The Crown Prince.
BERLIN, Feb. 19-The Klinische Wochen-
scrift, in an article on the condition OF the
Crown Prince, approves the report made by
Professor Virchow, in which he says the
particle coughed up by the prince was dead,
decayed portion of the larynx, which had
become detached from the surface, leaving
cavity of depth in some places of four mil
limeterS.
He found nothing to indicate the process
involving gangrene. He did not see either
pus corp1scles or supurating cells. In
most places he found nothing pointing to the
presence of any foreign substance. Rather
a large portion OF the particle coughed up
was detached from an almost indurated
spot, and had the form and appearance Of
fiat wart, in which, when cut open, solid
whitish kernel, with darkish, rather thick,
envelope, was discernable to the naked eye:
Within this kernel the microscope revealed
clusters ofepidermoidel cells, many Of which
had become quite homogeneous. The report
draws no conclusion as to the nature OF the
disease.
An official bulletin regarding the Crown
Prince today says that the wound in his
throat presents more favorable appearance
and is gradually closing. His cough was the
same as yesterday.
