A GREAT COMBINE.
Western Union and Bell Telephone
Said to Have Been Consolidated.

Western Union and Bell Telephone
Said to Have Been Consolidated.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin says
regarding the Western Union and Bell
Telephone:
1--WE understand upon the best authority
that the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany controls at this time the American
Bell Telephone Company. The import
ance Of such control will at once appear
to everyone who appreciates how the two
have come into competition during recen.
years. The Western Union dividends
had become threatened through the COM
petition Of the Bell company, and of the
Postal Telegraph Company, and it has
been a fully arranged plan of the Western
Union to c control Of the telephone
company. The two together can probably
make 1t very warm for the Postal Tele-
graph Company, or a final outcome may
be a combination of all three.
~. Pierpont Morgan has been tho
largest purchaser of Bell Telephone stock,
but the manner OF purchase has been very
cleverly concealed. Western Union
stock has ruled weak on the New York
stock exchange recently, but this weak
ness is thought TO be a part of the pro-
gram of those conducting this gigantic
deal. The combination OF these two con-
Germs will mean an almost impregnable
monopoly of both telegraph and telephone
business in the same hands,

GREAT MEETING OF PYTh,ANS.
Encampment at Cleveland Drawing
Crowds of Kuiyhts.

Great crowds of visitors were attracted
to the Knights Of Pythias' encampment
ut Cleveland, it being estimated that 5O,-
OOO spectators witnessed the dress parade
of the Second Ohio Regiment Sunday af-
%ternoon. The exercises at the camp dur
Ing the afternoon consisted of the dress
parade and a sacred band concert. In
the evening many of the visiting knights
attended services at the Epworth Memo
rial NJ. E.. Church and listened to an ap-
propriate sermon by the pastor.
Among the attractions at the camp was
Lafayette, Ind, division of the uniform
rank, which has won more prizes than any
other division in the country, ever though
IT has not competed in prize drills in eight
years. There was also present the crack
division from Hastings, Mich. Maj. Gen.
C%arnahan, in speaking of the knights rs
q military organization, said it was part
OF the unwritten law of the order that the
knights should respond to the call of the
government in time of need, especially
u 1t was necessary to repel an invasion
py a foreign foe. The knights were not
IN any sense guardsmen, he said, and they
would not take part in internal dissen.
SONS unless it was necessary to preserve
order and uphold the laws. Supreme
Chancellor Richie, in speaking Of the
policy OF the order, said there would prob
ably be no change. 'The same lessons
mat 1t teaches men to-day" he said, will
De for men 1000 years hence"

Of the gold standard up to the meeting of
the Chicago convention, md "stumped"his
State last spring for the cause in oposi.
ton to ~ex-Speaker Crisp. Precisely what
determined him to renounce his atf;l;a.
tons is not known, but his friends say
that he pledged his word to support tho
Chicago ticket and platform, believing. "a
they say. that the administration forces
would triumph at the convention.
1t is understood that Immediately upon
his withdrawal he will return to Atlanta
and resume the practice of his profession.
The Secretary's law Office has not been
closed since his departure for Washing
ton, his partner, Judge John r. Pendle-
ton, remaining in charge. The sign.
"Hoke Smith" has remained on the door.
and the Secretary's desk has been kent
awaiting his return. 1t is well known
that Mr.. Smith, on entering the Cabinet.
left a law practice which paid several
times the salary of a Cabinet officer, and
he will return to enter upon one which
will doubtless be still more profitable.

BLOOD is NEARLY SHE'D.

Clash Between Officers Of the Cuban
Provisional Government.
The New York World publishes the
following correspondence, dated near
Havana, August Ii:
. Couriers have just arrived with news Of
a crisis in the provisional Government Of
the republic Of Cuba. There has been
much friction for months between severa |
high officers. The climax came July %,
when the headquarters quartermaster
spoke rather plainly to the President.
Col. Manadaly, acting Secretary OF War,
resented this and drew his revolver, sup
posedly to avenge the insult to his chief.
Bloodshed seemed inevitable for the mo-
ment, but the venerable President, aided
by the cooler heads present, quickly re-
stored a se,nblance OF peace. The old
gentleman's feelings, however, were
deeply wounded and he Immediately an
nounced his resignation, which, however,
was withdrawn the next morning, the diff
ference being adjusted.

FLOUR COMBINE DISRUPTED.
North American Milling Trust Has
Gone to Pieces.

Gone to Pieces.
Flour will be sold for a time at least
ut whatever price individual millers see
fit. The big -four combine known as the
North American Milling Company has
gone to pieces. and as a result a cut of 10
cents a barrel in prices has been made
by the Northwestern millers and followed
practically all over the country among
spring wheat millers. This makes the
present price in Chicago Of best North
western brands $3.50. The combine
was supposed to be one of the best and
most carefully planned ever known. and
its failure is considered by some of the
Northwestern concerns ut least as con-
elusive evidence that a successful combi-
nation is impossible. However, one big
concern claims that the break in ar
rangements is only temporary. The com
bination was effected March 16 last. and
was the result of months of patient work
on the part of its inaugurators, and many
meetings were held. 1t represented a
combined milling capacity of over lOO,O 900
barrels a day. The mills within the
combination had to put up a guarantee
fund for the faithful carrying out of the
agreements on a basis of 10 cents per bar
rel per 800 barrel milling capacity. In
spite of this it was soon discovered that
some of the mills were taking advantage
OF the others in granting rebates, and this
has grown from small beginnings to such
large proportions that a general row
resulted. The minimum price was made
by one man appointed for that purpose in
the Northwest, and he made the price
from time to time based on the conditions
OF the trade, it is said, u~ninfiuenced by any
of the mills in the combine, and in every
way those who went in in good faith tried
to sustain a fair minimum price, which
was supposed to be a good thing for all
branches of the trade.

A TOWN WIPED OUT
NOT A SINGLE HOUSE LEFT IN
ONTONAGoN, MICH.
Among the Property Destroyed II
the Extensive Plant Of the Dia-
mond Match Company-No Loss OF
Life Rcported-Loss. 91,6OO,OOO
ELK POINT, 8. .,

Michigan Town Wiped Out.
Ont0nagon, Mich, was destroyed by
Rre Tuesday afternoon. OF a city OF
about 1900 population not a single house
10 left standing. Among the property de.
stroyed is the extensive plant of the
Diamond Match Company and 10000, 600
feet Of lumber In its yards. A conserya-
tive estimate Of the loss is 81, SOC, GOO. No
lives have been lost at last reports. Fire
has been burning in the woods southwest
Of the city for two weeks. 1t was nearly
out, when a southwest gale on Tuesday
swept the flames upon the town. Atnoon
Il was seen that the city was doomed. A
message was sent to Superintendent
Minturn Of the st. Paul road, at Green
Bay, asking for = train to take the i'm
periled people away. The telegraph
operator who sent the message was
driven away from his instrument by the
burning Of the building. A train was
ordered there from Pori, twenty-six miles
south. The train reached Ontonagon and
took a load Of people to Rockland, ten
miles away, and returned to Ontonagon
for another load. At s o'clock the
flames had swept through the main
part Of the city, destroying
al the business houses, many resi-
dences, the match company's mills,
the w~aterworks, electric light plant,
court house. jail, etc. The flames then
worked up the river to the windward Of
the residence portion.
At midnight the entire city was practi-
cally In ashes and 1000 people are home-
less, without shelter or clothing. OF this
number 1900 are in absolate want. The
fire has swept away nearly every DWELL
ing house, all store and other places of
business and all the big mills and other
manufacturing plants.
Whether or not there has been any loss
OF life could not be learned. II no n
persisted in the wave Of ERE that swept
from woods to lake it Is little short Of q
miracle. Later estimates OF the loss place
the amount at fully a million and = half,
with very little insurance.

TRADE FOR THE PAST WEEK
General Business Shows Very Littlc
Change.

General Business Shows Very Littlo
Change.
X. G. Dun Il Co.'s Weekly Review OF
Trade says: Poll teal events of the week
had no definite influence upon business
prospects, for the phenomenal variations
in sterling exchange and the beginning OF
imports Of gold may be fairly attributed
to the accommodating excess Of merchandise
exports over imports, to which attention
has been repeatedly called, exports from
New York for the past'two weeks having
