MISFORTUNEs OF CAPITAL.

millionaire Carnegie Tells Why
the Ocean Steamship Lines Lose
Money.
Capital in Great Britain, says Andrew
Carnegie in the Philadelphia Times, as
in all other parts of the world, except
our favored country, has had, is having
and, L believe, is still to have a very
hard time of it, indeed. In shipping,
in which Britain is supreme, more
money has been lost during the last few
years than made. Some of nv friends
who have interests in shipping have
shown me statements which prove losses
upon the operations of their vessels.
The Cunard line shares, which cost SO,
are now quoted at 93 los, which may be
taken as proof of the prevailing de-
preston. for which there are two rea-
sonS-tOO many ships, to begin with, but
especially too many of the old type. A
revolution is going forward in steam
ships: The new triple expansion engines
by which the steam is worked over
three times instead of once as
formerly, makes all the difference
between dividend-paying concern
and losing one. The North German
Lloyd, all the steamers of which are of
the most recent type, is still profitable.
and the White Star line, with better
ships than those that existed before they
were built, and extremely good manage
ment, is able to declare II per cent.
Ships of the new type are now being
built, and old ships are being changed,
and these will make living. But the
great majority of the present steamers
will be run off the sea. This transition
period creates great suffering, but it
will all come right in the end, and Brit
aims supremacy upon the sea be as I'M
questioned in the future as it has been

Ocracy seems to obtain in form which
would perhaps please the anarchist. if
the anarchist did not want all things

comfort. The gambling houses there
are all proudly labeled so that you can
not mistake them for churches OF pri-

House is there in full, big print, and in
those exciting establishments white
men and women, negroes, Chinese

perhaps with the same difference in
personal ideas of value as the chips.

why they gamble there. But Montana

two ladies going from one mining camp

The snow was deep Oh the ground, and
my friend hauled out his pocket flask
and handed it very politely to the other

when he had taken one himself he pre-
pared to put it back in his pocket. The

DULUTH, Dec. 29-Duluth elevator
men will test the stamina of the state

not the commission is state or local in
grades. Yesterday Inspector Shelley
was asked to inspect car of wheat
taken from one of the elevators, on its
merits. In perfect fairness, Mr.. Shelley
refused to do this, because it is directly
and specifically forbidden by law. The
superintendent of the elevator COM
pany, George Ripley, thereupon ap-
pealed the case to the state com
missi on, and to the tender mercieS

extended favOrs to Minneapolis private

appear before the United States COM

circumstances leading to the discovery
of the counterfeiting are as follows:
One afternoon last July street car
conductor was standing in front of No.
S67 North Clark street, when a silver
dollar fell at his feet. He picked
it up, and had it in his hand
long enough to discover that it was
very hot, as if just taken out of
the fire. At that moment a man came
hurriedly out of the house, at the above
number, and snatched the piece of
money from him. The mans manner
was so excited that the conductors sus
picions were aroused, and he reported
the incident to the police. Siuce that
time the house above mentioned has
been constantly under the surveillance
of the detectives. To-day United States
Inspector Porter determined to examine
the place, when it was found that the
building is occupied by William G.
Hards & Brother, contractors and
plasterers. Nothing suspicious was
discovered until the upper story was

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Capt. Scutter,
of the Dutch steamer Prins Maurits,
which arrived early this morning, re-
ports everything quiet at Port au Prince,
from which point he sailed from New
York on Dec. 20. Legitime was in
augurated president with great pomp
and ceremony on the 10th. The Galena
and Yantic were in port at the time.
The lIaytien Republic was lying outside
the inner harbor moored to buoy.
President Legitime boarded the Galena,
and had conference with Admiral
Luce. 1t is understood that he
made no resistance to the demand
for the Haytien Republics re-
lease. The Yantic grounded in the
inner harbor. Her officers after
wards made survey of the harbor.
Chief Officer Sibbclee stated to re-
porter that he found no excitement at
Port au Prince. and that at other ports
where he stopped he found an apparent
general satisfaction with Legitime's
presidency. The "EIaytien Republic"
was lying in the harbor of Port au
Prince, literally covered with American
flags, and everybody seemed to be max
ing merry over the settlement of the
difficulty. Capt. Sibbelee states that
there was no truth in the story of the
bombardment of Cape Haytien, though
all the northern ports were olockaded.
Among the Prins Maurits' passengers
were Compile de Deloa, lieutenant in
