John ID. ROCKEr@ Df1D GIVE
BATTLE TO MIR. CARNEGIE.
Will Build Works in Chicago Cost
ing $2O,OOO,OOO for Manufac-
ture of Steel Rails.

Chicago, Dec. Ga morning pape
makes the following announcement:
j John d. Rockefeller is seeking to outde
4 Andrew Carnegie as iron king, and his
4 plans are already matured and about t.
be carried out aiming to that end.
The Standard On Company, directed by
Mr. Rockefeller will be the foe of the
Scotchman. This company has purchas-
ed in South Cnlcago. along the shores OF
Lake Michigan, and at the mouth of the
Calumet river, plat of ground with a
water frontage of 1900 feet. On this, ii
is said, rolling mills will be erected to
4 cost $100O0,000 and possibly twice that
amount. With this plant for the manu-
facture of the vast output of the mines
Il of Methesba region for a product and
4 with the tank vessels to carry the ore to
the very doors of the work, all owned
by the Rockefeller company, that cor
poration may be able to dictate terms to
Mr.. Carnegie and his associates, instead
of being dictated to.
Not New Scheme.
Mr.. Rockefeller's scheme Is not new
He has had it in mind for several years.
but not until now has he been ready to
make it known. His preliminary move
ments have, as usual, been kept quiet.
Not until today did anything reach the
public, and then it was through an acct
dent. Some weeks ago a large plat of
ground was purchased in South Chicago.
The sellers were the Calumet Canal &
Dock Company and several private :ndl-
viduals; the real buyer was not publicly
known. The price was in the neighbour
hood of 100000, divided into three pay
ments. The first installment was paid
when the deed was signed, and the next
will be made December 49, 1t was not
necessary that Mr.. Rockefeller should
divide the sum.
The iron and steel business-at least
that part of it dealing in steel Iails-is
controlled entirely by Carnegie and his
two allies, the Illinois Steel Company of
Chicago and the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company of Pueblo, Col.
The price of rails at Pittsburg Is $685.
at Chicago $29, at Pueblo 1913. Whichever
of these concerns are nearest the pur-
chaser gets the rails. Rails can not be
had of any one else. This is the system
which Rockefeller has tackled. He ex-
poets to make steel rails from 20 to 25 per
cent cheaper than the trust can. He
can then sell them much cheaper.
Will Do Other Work.
The new mills at South Chicago will
not be confined to the manufacture of
steel rails, however, but will make struc
tural iron of all sorts as well. 1t is
stated further and on good authority that
Mr.. Rockefeller may even go into the
armor plate business. The site for the
works is good for a good mill. The river
is 20 feet deep there, enough to float the
largest lake vessels and provides per-
feet entrance for the Standard Oil ships
which will carry ore from the mines at
Lake Superior. These same boats will
serve as a powerful whip in the hands
of the Standard Oil magnate in case the
roads attempt to fight him, for they can
also be used for the grain trade and lit
orally demoralize freight rates in every
direction.

INTERNATIONAL VARSITY MATCH.
Oxford FavOrs 1t, but Will Resent
All Professionalism.

London, Dec. Gas already cabled, the
feeling in oxford athletic circles in favor
of an international varsity match next
year is very strong. In regard to the ad-
mission of professionals into the amateur
ranks of the London Athletic Club, Ok
ford athletic men took a very decided
stand, practically threatening that if 1t
were continued oxford amateurs would
withdraw and have nothing to do with
the leading amateur club and would so
to speak, set up for themselves. Similar
feelings are reported from Cambridge
where also the idea of meeting a team
from Yale and Harvard finds full favor.

TELLS THEM ABOUT THE KooTENAY
Mining Engineer Informs Colorado
of Imaginary Difficulties.

Denver, Dec Ga special to the News
from Aspen, Colo, says:
d. w. Brunton, well-known mining
engineer who has just returned from
Kootenay, British Columbia, says that
district is rich in gold and silver. He
states, however. that men make a mis-
take who go there at this time of the year
expecting 10 find work, as only a few of
the large mines are working, and pros
pecting is impossible on account of the
snow, which is four to 10 feet deep. Even
in the summer the heavy timber makes
prospecting very difficult, 1t being impos-
sible for pack animals to make their way
through the heavy growth. Transporta-
ton by boats is easy, as the rivers are
navigable.

MAcEo ON EVERY SIDE OF wEYLeR
Insurgent General Has Outwitted
the Spanish Commanders.

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. GA special to the
Citizen from Key West says:
The steamer Whitney brought Havana news
this morning in relation to Maceo and Wey-
Ter. The passengers state that Weyler him
self is now encamped 10 miles from Artemisa
and his army is scattered along the trocha and
through the Pinar del Rio district. When Ma
Geo retreated from Weyler in his first cam
paign, his plan was to surprise Weyler at the
first opportunity and now Maceo has his army
on either side of Weyler and they are having
daily skirmishes.
Weyler is completely surrounded and IL he
shall attempt to move he will be compelled to
go to Artemisa. Small bands have crossed the
trocha into Havana district and are attacking
the outposts and villages of that province

in this county all summer, has given out
the correct altitude of Mt. Rainier as de-

there were several falls soon after the
start, but none of the riders were IN
juIed
WOrId-Beaters of Europe.
The interest centerS in the World-beate rs
from Europe. These include such men as
William Lumsden, champion of Scotland,
who has beaten Jimmy Michael several
times; Tom Linton, who holds the world 5
hour record; w. Chapple, former amateur
champion of the same country; ]. Platt-
Belts, holder of the English record at one
mile, and the International one-mile rec
ord in competition made at Copenhagen a
few months ago, and A. A. Chase, cham
pion of the world at 81 miles, and his
brother Tom Chase.
Linton is one of the greatest middle dis
lance riders the world has today. In Eu-
rope his name is a household word in cy
cledom. He is a brother of Arthur Lin
ton, who died last summer from excessive
road-racing. Tom has the honor of being
the first man to ride 81 miles in the hour.
He did this a few weeks ago. He had TO
sooner done it than ]. w. Stocks went
him a few yards better, going 81 miles As
wards Then Linton went at the record
again and managed to top Stocks record,
putting the hour figures where they now
stand at 81 miles 5S2 yards.
Platt-Betts is by odds the fastest dash
rider in England. AS a goer against the
watch he is about such a fiier as John S.
Johnson Chase is one of the crack long
distance men of Europe. There are only
| two others in the class with him: they are
| Stocks and Constant Huet of France.
| Stocks and Chase have been having it,
| back and forth the last summer as repre-
| sentatives of rival chain firms. 1t is OK
pected that in this match some indoor
records will be made.
The most picturesque fellow on the
track, one can rest assured, will be the
by from bonnie Scotland" Lumsden has
/ an inclination to wear the striking gast
of his country and he has been charming
Parisians recently By an exhibition of &C.
centricity in apparel. The Chase brothers
are likely to do some tandem record-rid.
| ing October q, at the Crystal palace
| track, London, they cut the worlds mile
tandem record of McGregor and Nelson
from 1:50 is to las is, and lowered The
five-mile figures to 1923, or S-5 seconds in
side the previous best worlds record.

ICEBERG PHENOMENA.
Their Presence In Low Latitudes Is Easily
Accounted For.
-o,,x friend Mrs. Oyertor

Their Presence In Low Latitudes Is Easily
Accounted For.
The occurrence Of ice in the compare
lively low ATTITUDES of Cape Horn and
the Falkland islands is easily explained,
says The Pail Mall Gazette. The ice has
originally formed part OF the great oar
rier which, with very few breaks, sur
rounds the vast antarctic continent, RS
ing to an average height OF from 100
feet to 200 feet above and sinking from
LOO feet to 1,4O0 feet below the level
Of the sea and having, moreover, q
thickness of something like 1900 feet
or /. 500 feet. It is solid perpendicular
wall of ice formed by the descent over
the lowlands into the sea of the ice
and snow which form on the monntains
inland, and when the forefronts are
pushed into depths of about 500 OF 400
fathoms large stretches are broken or
and float away northweard with the
current. When they start Oh their aim
less career, they may be miles in extent,
and though, as rule, they break up BY
collision and erosion it is not at all un=
usual to encounter an island miles long
in the neighborhood Of the extreme ICE
limit.
For instance, the Coldinghame in this
region passed about 200 bergs, one OF
which was ten miles long. The Guilty
Sark, again, in latitude so south, lon
gitude AZ west found by cross bearings
and distance ruth that the east side OF
one berg which she encountered was l9
miles long. At first the masses are
straight, flat topped and horizontally
acknowledgements unlike those met
with in the north. By the action of the
waves they are cut at the waters edge
into coyes and cayerns Of a heavenly
blue color. Then, as they collide or get
melted away at the base by the action
of the water, they turn over and show
to the wandering mariner those fantas-
ic shapes which simply beggar all de-
scription, Naturally as they travel
farther north they become smaller and
still more strangely shaped and ulti-
mately melt away.
