BRIGHT FOR BIME1ALLlsM,
The French Convention Discusses
the Present Outlook.

Paris. May 20.-There were 400 dele
gates present to day at the annual meet
ing OF the National Bimetallic League.
Depnty Fougoirol presided. NJ. Thery,
secretary of the league, read the report
1t SGT forth that the leading event of. the
year was the election of President Nc
kinney, which gave great satisfaction to
bimetailis,s. He dwelt upon the necessity
OF bringing the movement to q definite
issue before the expiration OF President
McKinly's term of office. The French
government had done excellent work,
which the international negotiations
wouldssreveal 1t had persevered.. in seek
ing the cooperation of Great Britain be-
cause the latter's PAL ticipation would dis
arm the worst opponents and give inter
national bimetallism permanent and
solid basis.
The reportadde 1.-THE English horizon
is less than dark asserted The presence
OF the American, delegates in Paris may
greatly hasten solution of the question.
France and America could easily come to
an agreement if England was inclined
to n serious effort in favor of silver, and
Germany would follow her example. 1t
is upon this that the question of interna-
tional bimetallism, therefore, depends for
its practical solution."
hn elaborate banquet was given to the
delegates of the National Bimetallic
League at the Hotel Continental this
evening. Senator Wolcott, former Vice
President Stevenson, and Gen. Charles
jackson Paine, the american commission
ers, occupied the seats of honor Among
other guests were NJ. Melne, the premier;
former Premier Ribot, Senator Emile
Loubet, president of the senate, and SEN
ator Magnin, director of the bank of
France.
NJ. .Thery, secretary .of the lengue,
read the report which had been submitted
at the annual meeting earlier lin the day.
Deputy Fougeirol, who presided at the
annual meeting, now spoke hopefully of
the prospects of the movement.
Premier Meline dwelt at some length
upon the inconvenience caused by the
fluctuations in exchange and the import
ance of solving this problem. He said
that France alone could not settle the
question The co operation of other pow
ers was necessary, but the United States
had now brought the matter before Eu-
rope in decisive way by sending com
missioners, whose ability AMI knowledge
of the subject enabled them to speak with
authority France, under these circun-
stances" he said in conclusion, will
support the efforts of the United States
| for the success of great cause.'
| Before resuming his seat the premier
gave the.toast, "The Union OF France and
the United States and the health of the
most worthy American representatives
NJ. Thery read large number of tele
| grams of congratulation from foreign hi
metallic leagues. None of the American
commissioners spoke.

TO CRUSH ORE TRADE.
John D. Rockefeller Building Up a
New Monopoly.

The Jake carriers OF this section are
confronted with situation and not u
theory. They now understand fully what
it meant by the recent movement of John
d. Rockefeller in the ore carrying bus
mess. Mr.. Rockefeller has simply
reached out to wipe everybody else en-
gagged in that business from the face of
the earth. In fact, they are already wiped
off In order to fully understand the sit
uation little history is necessary
During the Gogebic iron mountain
boom ten years ago, Mr.. Rockefeller and a
few associates invested :l0.000000 in
what appeared to he II big thing, hut
which soon developed into rat hole
Mr.. Rockefeller awoke to the situation
that he had a white elephant on his hands
and that he must either do great deal
m ore or count the SIC 600, 600 as total
loss
He decided to do more. In 1895 he I'm.
dertoDk to practically appropriate the
Mesaba range, and the railroad leading
therefrom to the lake. These were the
property Of the Merits, and, as they
made Il serious objection TO being abso-
lutely deprived of their property, Mr..
Rockefeller settled with them by the
payment of 100000 or 81 900, 900.
Thus having acquired practical mo.
nopoly of all of the great ore beds of the
upper lakes, Mr.. Rockefeller's next move
was to construct 6 large fleet of very large
boats in which to convey the ore to the
lower lakes, where it could be utilized.
The story of the construction of these
boats has already been told-how the
lowest price was obtained from various
builders by securing the'strongest com.
petition among them. These boats are
larger than any other carrying boats that
have ever been upon the lakes, and can
make n lower rate per ton than any other.
The story was then given out by Mr..
Rockefeller that he proposed to build
large furnaces and steel works in which
his.own ore--woud be worked up
This thoroughly frightened the Carne-
giles, who were already engaged in the
business, and conferences were brought
about resulting in n practical consoli.
dation of Carnegie's and Rockefeller;s in
terests That such combination had
been brought about has been known for
some time, but the full import of it il
only just now made apparent to boat
iowners and small furnace men and iron
mongers generally.
Mr. Rockefeller, having put something
like $15, zoe, 900 into mines and boats, was
prepared, at the opening of this season.
to begir. TO get something back. 1t was
believed by boat owners that he would
naturally make very close rates, but they
hoped chat he would still permit them
to live. 1t Is now apparent that this is
not Mr.. Rockefeller's plan at all. He
proposes in the most gigantic way in
which anything of the kind was ever at
tempted, to absolutely monopolize the
ore and coal carrying business.
In fact he has already accomplished
this. He has entered into contract, ex-
tending over period of ten years. to
carry ore and coal ut q rate so low that
no one can possibly compete with him.
If other boats could get cargoes they
could not deliver them at the Rockefeller

THE sEARLES CASE.
Belief That Judge Bradley Will Throw it
Out of Court.

OuJ OIL COURT.
Washington, May 29.-The trial o..
John +. Searles, secretary of the American
Sugar Refining Company, yesterday fol.
lowed that of President Havemeyer, who
was acquitted Thursday by order CT
Judge Bradley. The Government pre-.
sented its case very briefly, whereupon
the defense, following the tactics pursued
in the Havemeyer case, moved that the
judge order an acquittal for three rea-
sons, viz: That the questions Mr.. Searles
refused to answer were irrelevant to the
inquiry; that they were individual, not
committeeques and that even if they
were authorized by Senate resolution,
the Senate did not possess jurisdiction.
The motion was argued at length hy the
counsel on both sides, after which the
court adjourned until Tuesday. when
Judge Bradley will deliver his ruling.
a very strong impression exists that
the judge will sustain the motion md

Turkish Government Will Not Receive
Minister Angel.

Washington, May 29.-The Turkish
government to day made formal objec
tion to receiving DIR. James B. Angel, of
Michigan, minister of the United States.
The grounds are not definitely ascer-
tanned, but it is believed to be because of
his avowed sympathy with the Christian
missionary element in Turkey and his dis
approval of the action of the porte in the
Armenian massacres.
The Turkish minister here notified Mr..
Sherman of the position of affairs An
interview with Mr.. Angel soon after his
appointment, expressing sympathy with
the Greeks, may he one of the causes.
