Wa Expected to Happen at Rio Janeiro
Monday.
New YORK, Feb. 8.-An Associated
Press special cabled from Rio Janeiro
filed Sunday night says: Unless present
indications turn out incorrect, the fate
of President Peixoto and Admiral da
Cana and his, followers will be decided
tomorrow. &
During Saturday night and Sunday
the insurgents steamed their ships into
positions OF advantage, preparatory to
making a thorough anu decisive attack
upon the government, positions at Nicthe-
roy, especially.
1t is understood that there is a final
and desperate effort upon the part OF the
insurgents, and that on it's success every
thing depends so far as the revolution is
concerned.
It is expected that early on Monday
morning the insurgent commander will
have succeeded in landing a force on
shore, which, covered by the fire of
the rebel vessels, will advance upon the
government positions, and the final bat
tie is then expected to be fought.
The foreign warships are closely
watching the operations, and there has
been no further interference of any sort
up to the time this dispatch is filed.
The general opinion ashore seems to
be that the insurgents will be defeated,
and that the collapse Of the rebellion in
this part of the country at least, will
Immediately follow.

a place farther along, it being dark by
this time, they ran into . clothes

farmer out Of his house to see
what was the trouble. After
getting Strengthened out they they pro-

was thought about it. In the morning
the team was found about half q mile

day. This news set at rest a rumor that
she and her husband had become recon-
ciled On his giving a satisfactory pledge
Of good conduct in the future. After
the French court allowed the prince the
right to see his children twice a week,
the princess found her situation intoler-
able. Besides. from the elaborate re-
carnations by the French press of its
earlier seventies, her friends augered
unfavorable action by the French court.
Hence it was determined she should re-
move from its capricious jurisdiction.
left the Hotel Brighton on Tuesday
enade, Mrs. Mackay remaining behind
to lull suspicion. The spies of the prince
and the domestics waited up until 8
o'clock IN the morning, and then in
formed the hotel proprietor, who in turn
informed Mrs. Mackay of what she al
ready knew.
When the prince called on Wednesday
to see his children he was simply in
formed that they were out with their
mother, and it was not until his wife
had had time to board the steamer that
he was informed that she and her chill
dren were beyond the jurisdiction of the
French court.
All inquirers were purposely misled,
in order to give the princess time to es-
cape.
Her lawyers now propose to continue
the fight in America. It is reported that
the prince sailed for New York on Sat.
urday. Mrs. Mackay quilted the Hotel
Brighton on Thursday, but her destina'
ton is known only to her counsel.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 6.-The great legal
battle for the control Of the Northern
Pacific railway is now in progress.
Colonel Silas j. Petit, counsel for the
Ives faction, opened the ball with a
statement that he had filed a replication
to the answer OF the receivers and ask
ing for an order of reference on the
petitions to special examiners to take
testimony. He wanted to have two
special examiners appointed. one in
Chicago and n in New York, to exam
inc witnesses outside of the juris-
diction Of the court, who could not be
brought here. Ex-senator John G.
.spooner, representing Receiver Payne,
made a vigorous argumant against the
motion. He said he desired to impress
upon the court the fact that the petit
ton and nswer were not a bill and
in equity emitting the moving
party to p~rolong the proceedings indefi-
nltely, as the opposition sought to make
1t by filing the formal replication. Such
practice would be dangerous, he said,
and he did not believe the court would
allow it. The other side had made grave
charges against the receivers, and it
should not lie allowed to delay a hear
ing Which would clear the receivers
trom those charges, such hearing was in
the interest Of the trust estate.
The attorneys for the petitioners stated
mat they had not made the move for
the sake of delay, but because they
wanted a chance to prove their charges.
Ihe argument, which is a spirited one,
may occupy the whole day, and possibly
more.

lis AN IRON KING.
John D. Rockefeller Secures Control
Of the Principal Iron Mines Of
the World.
On Account of the Stringency In
Money He Has Squeezed the
Merritts Out. Is
He Is Said to Have Secured Their
Mining Interests at a Ridiculously
Low Figure.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-JOhn ID. Rookie
TELLER has obtained absolute control of
the most important iron mines Of the
United States. By a deal that was
closed Friday he absorbed all the Lake
superior mines and all the big ones in
Cuba. To do this has only cost him be-
tween 50, DOC, 900 and $1O,0 DOC, 900. He
was able to accomplish this only because
Of the recent financial crisis.
For some time Mr.. Rockefeller has
been buying blocks Of stock and bonds
in Southern iron mines: Also when the
shares of the Minnesota Iron company
were first placed upon the market he
bought a large quantity of them. It is
said that he has for months owned
enough stock and bonds in this company
to control it. The Minnesota Iron COM
fpany owns the great mines at Tower and
! Ely, Mimi, the Duluth and Iron Range
railroad. the big docks at Two Harbors
and large areas of docks and railroad
property at Duluth and Superior.
Within the last five years a powerful
rival has sprung up. The Merritt fam
lily of Duluth has been prospecting for
iron in the Mesaba range for years.
They located a number OF claims and
had a desperate fight with the Minnesota
Iron company, and with several private
contestants. After many years Of fight
ing they succeeded in establishing their
title to their claims.
H. History Of the Deal. ai
The Lake Superior Consolidated Iron
; Mines was organized under the laws of
the State of New Jersey. Offices were
opened at 46 Wall street, and Leonidas
Merritt moved from Duluth to New
York to look after the company's
affairs there. Mr.. Rockefeller was
watching these proceedings carefully.
! He realized that all the work meant the
outlay of u tremendous amount OF
money. He also knew that the Merritts
had not enough cash capital to continue
to develop and operate the mines on the
gigantic scale they were doing. He SET
his agents to picking up bonds, stock
and scrip issued by the Merritts, anc
they did their work we'll. But wher
the present year opened the Merritt
still had a controlling interest in the
company. 1t then became known tina
they were in great need Of money. Their,
was talk OF a SIS, 900, 900 deal with tn,
R~othschilds, but that fell through. Sew
eral of the Merritts came on from
Duluth to New York to see what coult
be done. Mr. Rockefeller kept buying
every bond and share of stock that wa
on the market.
The crisis came OH Friday. The Mer
ritts discovered their inability to hold OF
any longer and had to appeal to Mr.
Rockefeller. He had them i'll his gras1
and was able to dictate his own terms
The long and short Of it was that
majority Of the stock in the Lake Supe
rior Consolidated Iron Mines and til
Spanish-American company of Cuba wa
sold to him on that day. What he pai
for it is not known, but it is said he oh
tanned it at a ridiculously low figure.
