paid fee" of 81 1000, 900 for arranging
a combination which gives the control
of the Mesaba iron range and the prac-
teal control of the ore market to an
organization of manufacturers with
the Carnegie Iron company at its

is undoubtedly the largest ever paid.

Henry Clay, Daniel Webster. Abraham

orators of their day in the best ten
years of their lives never amounted to
half so much.
1t is reported that Lawyer Hart of

the legal fight for the recovery to Flor

will receive fee of $3.50, 900. The es-
tate in litigation aggregated 81 ,000, 000
I Hart carried on the fight for years,
paying the expenses out of his own
pocket, so that his great fee is not all

waited roads at S125000. but while these
are said to he The largest fees ever

This country has seen nothing like
this before, but in Rome there was al
most a parallel to it when the wealthy
men of the city bought the government
of provinces and sublet them Taxes
were farmed out in the same way
What was really being disposed of was
the privilege of robbing the people of
the provinces at pleasure. and it was
used in piling UP the enormous fortunes
which resulted in me overthrow of the
Roman republic. So great was the ra-
pacity of some Of these Roman finan-
ciers that when the people of a PROV

Perhaps, however. a better illustra-

the engineer was pushed guilty through
the cab window, and. the Switches
having been set for the Missouri Pacific
yards. the locomotive backed away.
AT the -ard limits an express car, a
day coach and a number of coal cars
were coupled together. and, without
even waiting TO turn her. the new crew
backed out onto the main line of Mr.,
Gould's railroad. A yard engine, hav-
ing no pony trucks, is not safe over 20
miles an hour. but on this trip the old
fantailed switcher rarely made less
than 40. In 30 minutes from the time
they crossed the last switch every pin
and box about her was smoking hot,
and there was no tallow on her. This
was the first emergency. a Pueblo
merchant had donated a few sides of
bacon, from which the rinds were now
ripped and bound about the hot pins.
Chunks of tat bacon were driven into
the oil cups, amid the protests of the
hungry soldiers.
Al horace the Missouri Pacific people
offered to exchange a road engine for
the switch engine, which belonged to
another company. but the wealers were

cars and engines in front of the fugi-
tives. When they came to an emergen-
cy of that sort the wealers would draw
their train up as near as possible to
the wreck: then they would pull up the
track behind them and build a read
around the ditched train, and resume
their journey. one wreck Of consider
able length was nassed in less than
three hours. 1t took the company three
days to repair the damage, and cost
over $4,000.
Finding it impossible to check the
wealers in this expensive way the rail-
way management began emptying
water tanks. The first dry tank the
runaways found was by the side of
little pond of water at the edge of a
little town. AS many as could find
buckets formed in line and began car
Tying water from the pond. The vacant
lots of ali western towns are covered
with tin cans and bailing wire, and in
five minutes time no less than 200 men
were walking in the endless chain,
dipping water from the pond and pour
ing it into the engine tank. Some, who
could not find cans, or would not take
the time, carried water in their hats
and in G very little Willis the tank was
filed and the cans loaded into the
empty coal cars. to be carried forward
for use in another emergency. Every
obstacle thrown in the way CT the
wealers was speedily overcome and the
general passed in triumph across the
plains to Topeka and to jail.

1t was for Park Policeman Grifiths
to first encounter the strange creature
on behalf of the authorities of the
park: Way down in his heart. as he
afterwards admitted, he thought it was
a grand sight to see a woman in such
9pparantly comfortable clothing ard so
free TO indulge in any number of high
kicks, but judging from the looks of
horror emanating from long row of
spinsters, who had been taking their
regular daily riding lesson from
''Frenchy" Osborne, it looked like the
dignity of the park was at stake. Was
he not there to defend it, and would
he shirk his duty? Never. He got up
the most stately walk he could for the
occasion and passing to where Miss
independence was standing and listen
ing to the band concert, he politely
addressed her With:
we don't allow them kind of things
in the park. missis.'
She gave him a whitening look and
wanted to know whether or not he was
alluding to her costume.
Griffifhs seemed glad to know that
she had guessed where the trouble lay,
and answered:
Yes. mum. It's little startling.
like it first-rate myself, but I'm afraid
the ladies here might not"
Almost shedding tears to think that
he had to Dust such a lovely creature
and such ankles, from the park, Crit

GERMANY WANTS SAMOA.
viii Resist any Attempt to Weaken
Her Hold on the Islands.

BERLIN, October 1.-The officials
of the United States Embassy and OF
the United States Consulate here say
ther is no truth in the story con-
tanned in a dispatch from Berlin to
the London Daily Chronicle saying
the President Mckinley had instruct
ed the new United States Consul Gen
eral at Berlin Tin the absence of En-
bassador White, who has been spend
ing fortnight at Heringsdorf), to
give an opinion as to the alteration
of the Samoan treaty, and that it was
believed that the United States in
tended to invite new conference on
the subject.
1t was added that Germany was
certain to object strenuously to any
weakening of her hold on Samoa, and
that the complete cession of the group
of islands to Great Britain would
meet with far more support in Berlin
than would American occupation of
the islands.
The Vossische Zeitung expresses the
opinion that Samoa ought to become
German, as two-thirds of the land is
owned by Germans. The Nossische
Zeitung also says: ''The existing
treaty must be abolished and order
re-established."

What Washington Correspondent
Says About the Naval Situation at
the Islands.

A dispatch sent out from Washing
ton at the time of the departure of
the Wheeling for Honolulu says:
Suspicious of Japan's reported colo
nization of Hawaii, the administration
has taken additional precautionary
measures to offset any attempt on the
part of japanese residents of the Is
lands to place themselves in power.
Telegraphic orders sent to Com
mander Uriel Sebree, commanding the
gunboat Wheeling, now at Mare Is
land, direct him to proceed without
delay to Honolulu. Ten days after
the Wheeling reaches there the gum
boat Yorktown, which in accordance
with departmental orders, is now en-
route to Honolulu from China, ought
to drop her anchor in the port.
1t was originally intended by the
Navy Department to send the orders
directing the return of the Philadel-
phia by mail steamer. but it is now
proposed to forward them in charge
of Commander Sebree of the Wheel
ing The important feature of the
instructions to Rear Admiral Miller is
that the Philadelphia shall not leave
Hawaiian waters until thc Naniwa has
left.
The presence of three gunboats in
Hawaiian waters, it is believed. will
be sufficient to prevent any uprising
against the Hawaiian government. I'm
der the instructions given to him Rear
Admiral Miller, in the event of such
an uprising would land the officers
| and men from the vessels and hoist
the American flag over the Islands.
: The total force that could be landed
in case of emergency would number
Al officers and 494 men.
| The authorities are also determined
not to permit Hawaii to he without a
cruiser more than two weeks at a
| time.
