MATCH COMBINE.
The Worlds Business All Under
Ona


One Management.
NEW YORK, June 28.-S. c. Barber of
Chicago. the millionaire match manufac-
turer and the president of the DiamO nd
Match Company. is at the Plaza Hotel,
having just returned from Europe. He
went abroad two months ago for the
purpose of forming an international
match trust and consolidating the match
factories of the world under one manage
ment. Mr.. Barber succeeded in complet-
ing arrangements for the trust, which will
have capital Of $4,000, 600. Leading
match manufacturers OF England, France
and Sweden have joined interests with the
Diamond Match Company, which already
controls the business in the United States
and Canada. The trust will construct in
Liverpool the largest match factory in the
world, with a capacity large enough to
supply the European trade. The Diamond
Match Company has its Offices In Chicago.
The company was originally cousollda-
tion of the Barber Match Company of
Akron, Ohio. the Swift-Courtney and
Blocker Match Company of Wilmington,
Del, the Gates Match Company and half
dozen others.
a few years ago the monopoly pur-
chased the New York Match Company of
New Y York for $4,000 and also acquired
the big Trenton Match Company of Tren-
ton, n. j. The largest match factory to-
day is that in Akron, which gives employ
ment to 800 persons.
Recently Mr.. Barber of the Diamond
Match Company made a combination in
the strawboard business, consolidating
all the concerns of the country into the
Union StrawbOard Company, with $1,000
600 capital, ana representing a daily pr
duction of over 100 tons of straw board.
Nearly all this amount is manufactured in
| and about Akron. A great deal of straw
board is used in the match business for
| boxing MIR. Barber is now 80 years old
and has accumulated a fortune. Since
the consolidation of the leading match fac
tories in the United States and Canada
some years ago, under the name of the
Diamond Match Company, Mr.. Barber has
had his eye on the principal factories Of
England, Germany, France. Norway and
! Sweden. The consolidation of all the for
! egn interests with the Diamond Match
| Company has now been perfected. The
| European firms not only control the trade
of Europe and ASIA, but also the trade of
| South America and the Australian COL
/ Onies.

1t is rather remarkable fact that last
Sunday, the very day on which Carnot was
murdered, the Courier de Chicago devoted
a couple of columns TO the standing occu-
pied by the President as a Government
engineer of bridges and roads. This was
NJ. Carnot's original profession, and as he
had never rendered his resignation his
papers were annually made out on the same
lines as those of the other Government en-
gineers.

the Inspector Gen eral and to bear the off,

given in the usual tabula ted form of ex-
haustiye questions and the answers form a
high tribute to the worth of "le grande
camarade," as the article affectionately
calls the President

"This situation permits M. Carnot to re-
enter the ranks of the government engi-

fatigue, that he knew the classics better
than modern literature. and could read

Intelligence come from the upper Co

1t is reliably stated that should the
water rise two feet higher, it will sweep
away every wheel in the upper and
middle Columbia entailing great loss.
The river, at o'clock tonight, stood

Reports from eastern Oregon, Wash

NOTORIOUS TURPIN.
Sells the Secret of the Manufacture
of a War Machine.

Paris, May 29-La Partie today an
nounced that the notorious Turpin,
whose name some time ago came
prominently before the public in con-
nection with the invention OF the ex-
plosive known as melenite, and who
was subsequently imprisoned, angered
at the refusal of France TO purchase
his latest invention, has left the
country and has sold to the powers
composing the Dreibund, the secret of
the manufacture Of a terrible Bar ma
chine. The latter is said to comprise an
explosive and new projectile which
it is claimed will completely transform
the art of warfare and the conditions
under which it is waged, rendering its
possessors the masters of Europe.
Turpin yielded TO the personal ure-
ings of foreign sovereign and has re-
ceiVed several million francs on ac-
count.
The statement that Turpin has left
the country and sold his invention to
the Driebund has caused somewhat of
a sensation.
NJ. LIE Herrisse announces his inten-
ton to interpellate the government on
the subject
M. MERCER, minister of war, has
been informed of this intention and says
he will not object to meeting the ques-
ton after he has had a conference with
his colleagues. He admits that he re-
fused to see NJ. Turpin, and also de-
clined to negotiate with him. He
scouts the idea that Turpin's new in
Vention is an important one.
