A LOST SON
Turns Up and Gets His Mothers Fortune
of a 100000.

POUsHKEEPsIE, N. Y, Nov. 24-Mrs
March, who died in Dutchess county,
some time ago, left an estate valued at
100000. She did not know whether
she was childless or not, SO she made
conditional will By its terms many of
her friends and sundry institutions
were enriched by gifts of from 81 900 to
$50, 900 each.
The document provided, however,
that if the old lady's SON should turn
up he was to inherit all the property as
heir-at-law. There seemed at the time
the will was drawn to be little proba-
bility of his putting in an appearance
to save his fortune. All the legatees
assembled in the court room Thursday
to settle the estate and claim their oe-
quests To the utter astonishment of
several of the claimants Mr.. March
walked into the room and secured the
property rightly due him. The will
was admitted to probate.

A STEEL TRUST.
The Illinois Steel 90. an Important
Factor In the Pool.
The Story of Billion Dollar Combine
Rails, Structural Iron and Armor Plate
Also In 1.-THE Trust In Contem.
plation for More Than a Year.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-A morning paper
says: According to facts which have
become matters of common knowledge
in Chicago in recent hours, the steel
rail, structural iron and armor- plate
output of the United States is now
practically in the hands of the most gil
gantic trust ever organized. The Illi-
nois Steel Co. is an important fac
tor in the pool, and its officers
substantially affirm the details of
the scheme. The leading firms
in the trust, or pool, are the Rookie
fellers, of Standard Oil fame; the
Illinois Steel Co., the Cambria Iron
Co, Carnegie, Phipps & Co., the Lacka-
wanna Steel Co., the Bethlehem Steel
Co., the Maryland Steel Co., and the
Pennsylvania Steel Co.
These firms represent ninety-eight
per cent of the entire steel rail,
structural iron and armor plate output
of the country. Wednesday afternoon
the finishing touches were put on their
offensive and defensive alliance.
This trust has been in contemplation
for more than a year-ever since the
time when the Rockafellers first began
investing in Messaba iron range prop
erty. To-day they own practically the
entire range. and by the opening Of
navigation next season will have their
own road built to convey the ore from
the range to Duluth. About two
months ago the Rockafellers bought
all the magnificent boats of the Lake
Superior Navigation Co., and next sea-
son they will be used exclusively in
carrying ore for the trus-. The great
plant will be established at Ashta-
bula, o.

THE TREASURY CONDITION.
Decrease of s7.7s2,779 in the Surplus
for This Year.

WASHINGTON, Nov 27-U. S. Treas
urer d. N. Morgan has submitted to
Secretary Carlisle his annual report on
the operations and condition of the
treasury. 1t shows that the net ordi-
nary revenues for the tical year 1898

The net ordinary expenditures were
1888, Al, ,554, an increase of s3S, 454, ,623.
There was, therefore, decrease of 81

81, ga Including the public debts
the total receipts were 1872, S71, PA, and
the tatal expenditures STA, ,007, ,99S. The
public funds amounted June 80, 1892,
to s7s6, ,351, ,s95, and June 80, 1898, to
s746, 53s655. After setting apart those
sums of gold, silver and United States

and treasury notes there was reserve
of general fund, $1s9, 9,012,740 in 1892,
and $16S, 1877, 391 in 1898. These amounts,
however, include certain sums of GER
tificates of deposits, bonds and coupons
which were unavailable for any other
purpose than the settlement of the
| treasurer's account, and which, if
cancelled, would have left an ac-
tual available working balance Of
s16b, ,945, ,sse and $3.50, 295, ,69e on the two
dates respectively.

together without parallel in the his
tory of the country> The redemptions
Of United States paper currency have
been unusually heavy, amounting to
e377, GOO. 600 in the fifteen months end
ing with October.
Although the nominal amount OF
counterfeit coins and paper presented
at the treasury was greater than in the
previous year the increase was less pro-
portionately than the increase of the
amount of mcney handled. Consider
able additions were made to the bonds
held in trust for National banks, and
for the Pacific railroad sinking fund.

Republicans Fighting to H HoId the senate.

WASHINGTON City. Jan. 5.-The Repub-
hcan senator's met in caucus this 1norning
to consider the order CT business. Initial
steps were taken towards beginning a bit
ter fight for the control of the next senate,
If there has been any belief that the Re-
publicans intended permitting the organ
ization of the next senate to go by default,
that belief was shattered by the action
taken today. A committee consisting of
Teller, Hoar, Mitchell, Chandler. Higgins,
all Republican members of the committee
on privileges and elections, was ayepo; nted
TO take special charge of the subject of
organization and incidental thereto the
matter of the election of senators in West
ern states. where the fight is now on.
These senators are ali astute politicians.
and will see that nothing is done to jeop-
ardize the chances of Republicans, and
will prepare all cases so that in the event
OF contests. which are inevitable, the best
possible front can be made. The question
of order of business was secondary to the
more important matter of organization
and the committee, TO agree upon some
working plan, appointed Senators Sher-
man, Frye. Dolph, Cuilom, Piatt, Wash
burn and Quay as special onmittee.
They will canvass the situation and report
at another caucus. to be called earLy next

Harrison In Excellent Health,

WASHINGTON City, Jan. 5.--Little Mar
tina Harrison continues 10 improve, but
the White House is still quarantlned and
cards containing information that con-
tagion exists within are displayed on the
entrances to the private part OF the man
sion. When the quarantine against the
White House is removed it is probable
that President Harrison will take few
days recreation ~ duck shooting. In
view of the statement published of
President Harrison's health failing and
likely TO break down before his term OF
office has closed, Postmaster General
Wanamaker was questioned as to the facts.
He said the president was in perfect health
and in four years had not been away from
his desk for a single day from personal
sickness. He for months has been out in
q wilderness OF suffering and the shadow
OF 1t remains for long time upon a nature
that feels deeply as his.

Tho Montana Legislature.

HELENA. Mont. Jan. Both houses of
the Legislature adjourned shortly after
hearing Gov. Richards message to-
day. Nothing can be done until
the committee on rules report. This
is looked for tomorrow. Governor
Richards first message compares favor
ably with those of his predecessors. 1t is
exhaustive in its treatment of state issues
and pronounced in favor of Important
measures. An amendment to the election
laws to prevent bribery is strongly urged.
He recommends that the registration law be
changed SO that voters can register at their
own polling places at any time up to
within few days of election. The placing
of the names OF candidates in parallel COL
umns OF the Australian ballot is also
urged. SO that straight ticket for
any party can be voted with sim
gle mark. He speaks highly of the
state fair managers and recommends ap-
preparations in addition to the $4,000 al
ready appropriated. He estimates the
whole expense for the next fiscal year at
$452, 900. The revenue OF the state for
the past year was over $433 900.
The governor strongly urges the
immediate location of various state
institutions, except the capitol AMI the es-
adjustment OF state orphanage, re-
form school and agricultural college.
In the matter of railroads seeking
TO acquire title to mineral lands.
he invites prompt and stringent
legislation to protect the people against
such corporations. He also recommends
the enforcement by legislation of the
provision of the constitution exclud-
ing Pinkertons or other armed
bodies OF men not authorized
by law, from the state. Liberal irrigation
laws are suggested, and memorials to con-
gress asking for free silver laws arc recon-
mended. The vote for United States sem
ator will be taken on January II.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 5.-fSpecial.l The in-
terror OF the barn-like old capitol building
will present an altered appearance to the
leg slators when they assemble in it on
Monday, though its outward aspect is still
suggestive of the severely plain church
home of rural congregation. While the
interior arrangement is very remote from
being that OF model state house, it is
more convenient than formerly. Secretary
Weir has expended the appropriation OF
5000 for strengthening the foundation
and repairing the structure in such man
ner that the lawmakers will be more COM
tortably housed.
The removal of the state library TO the
Mckenny block has made more room for
committee work. and has also made IL pos
sible to enlarge the senate chamber, SO that
space of about one-third Of its former
area has been added TO its size. A stair
way has been put in, communicating di-
rect from the senate chamber to the hall

TURNERITEs SPREAD FALSE NEWS.
absurd Stories About the Senatorial
Contest Printed in the East.

Contest Printed in the East.
WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. 5.-ISpecial. +
During the past week or ten days very
many stories regarding the coming sena-
toriai election in Washington have found
their way into print in Eastern news
papers. Some of these have been IN
the nature Of dispatches from Olympia,
Spokane, Seattle and other points. In
one or two instances Washington City
papers have published articles about the
senatorial election at Olympia, and in .
great many cases the actual facts have not
been touched upon. A dispatch from
Olympia the other day had it that
Senator Allen would object to eau
Gus, when as q matter of fact, is
IS understood here by his friends
that he has no objection whatever to q
caucus, and is willing to abide by its de-
cision. Another dispatch printed was to
the effect that there is likely to be dead
lock between the Allen and Turner forces
and that neither will be elected.
Today the Washington Post had some-
thing to say about the Washington sena-
torial election, and stated in substance
that Senator Allen had q fight on his
hands which might result in his defeat.
1t went on 10 say that his chief opponent
was Judge Turner. who already had thirty
votes out of fifty-seyen votes necessary in
the caucus. 1t will be understood in WASH
lngton, of course, that there was no possi-
BILE means for any authentic information
TO have been learned here regarding
the strength of either OF the candidates as
this time. Representative Wilson was
mentioned in the Post article as possible
senatorial candidate. 1t is stated that he
had received numerous kilograms and
letters suggesting that he become a can
didate but that he proposed to keep out Of
the fight. The Post quoted Wilson as say
ing thus: 'Ii the lightning strikes me 10
Will have TO come out of a clear sky"
There has come to this city some private
information regarding the senatorial con-
test at Olympia, and all this information
is very favorable TO Senator Aliens can
didacy. No one here who has any insight
INTO Washington politics believes that
Senator Aliens defeat is possible.
