THE ICE TRUST.
GobbIing Up Ice Concerns and Adding Hudson
River Tow Boats TO Its List.

The great ice trust has purchased with
in the past sixty days two more ice cut
ting and supply companies and the trade
state that third is aboutSto become
nopoly. l4l i." 't''s
The , last ty9 s9mPaqies t. sell out IS &
the engineer of the combine, were the
Central Ice Company owned by Kennedy
and Rhinehardt and the Title & Little
field Company. whose plants are at Van
Wies Point, five miles bellows Albany. on
the Hudson River and just across the
river from the sheds of the Central Com
pany. The price paid for the. last named
company's interest was $4,000. The
Centrars interest. it is said. went for
$4,000 The sale occurred last month.
The buying in of these two companies
and the anticipated sale of the third. the
Glasgow Ice Company. marks the last
rung in the ladder that Morse started to
climb in 1890 when, after a bad season,
the Ridgewood New York City Consum-
ers and National companies were
snatched up by the combine, to which
they were heavily indebteded Then. in
loo the big knickerbocker Company was
purchased by the Morse people, and in
1896 the Yonkers City Ice Company was
absorbed, together with the Cedar Hill
Ice Company anu the firm of Peter G..
Kemp & Co.
Today the Hudson river and lake out
put of natural ice is practically under
the control of Charles W. Morse who
can buy at his own price. because there
is no one to bid against him, and sell at
his own figures because het has swal-
lowed up all his competitors.
The large force of ice cutters, drivers
and keepers will be concentrated but
not without throwing a great many men
out of work. Dozens of stations in this
city and Brooklyn will be closed up, and
many wagons will be put out of commits
sion. Wholesalers will be forced out of
business, because it is in the scheme of
the ice monarch to eventually sell to
merchants. butchers and homes
Last Monday the price of ice was nut
up 80 1-3 per cent or from 81 to 81 a ton

n. ru,,.. Their Reputation and Their Reward.

A vast amount OF gush is being writ
-, .hout, the conduct Of the Turkish
troops. Judging from what the cores
nopdents who are with the Turkish
army write the Mussulman soldiery go
into battle singing hymns as did the
Roundheads, only the Turkish pattie
hvmn is supposed to be much sweeter
10 the ear of friends, If not or foes.
Really the Turks are acquiring accom-
n,isbments in their Grecian campaign
and when they get home will be able
to sing snatches from the popular
operas while at work massacring some
of those half starved Armenians that
are left over from previous siaughters.
But the fact that these correspondents
who write from Turkish headquarters,
Law such stress on the alleged humanl-
ty of the Turkish soldier leads 10 thc
impression that they are afraid OF their
own precious skins if they don't keep
on the good side of the Mussulman by
sending out just that sort OF nonsense
The humane Turk has yet to be seen
by all except war correspondents. Inc
report that they burned Greek nos"
pital with it's wounded inmates is more
in accordance with the history of the
warlike deeds of that nation. Some OF
the Christian peoples with whom they
occasionally wage war are little If any
somewhat fanatical and recent demon
STATIONS on their part show that they
are somewhat unstable. Nevertheless.
the attempt to make them appear in a
more Objectionable light than the Turks
as regards cruelty will need more evil
dence than has yet been adduced.
While it seems to be the purpose of
someone with influence to give the
Turks a better name than they have
hitherto had, one wonders whether the
Powers will give them more of their
share of the spoils than in wars in

In the last war, the Ottoman empire,

1t is very doubtful if she gets any from
this war. The Powers. if they can
agree among themselves as to the dis
tribution will find some pretext, such
as keeping the peace, for taking bit
here and a bit there. Not that any one
is inclined to weep for Turkey, but it is
impossible to wonder at the perfidy of
Mussuman when we realize how he
has been cheated and bamboozled by
the great foreign powers. He is not mt
to have an empire under his control.
there's no doubt about that nor is Il
possible for him to fit himself even sup

existing conditions. Doubtless he is

ENGLAND Getting What She Wants.

The more one reads about the diplo-
matte deviltry going on behind the
scenes in Europe the less confident he
is Of his conclusions. Only the other
day Gladstone, in as letter which was
written for publication held the Ger
man Emperor and Car of Russia res
nonsible for the attitude of the Powers
toward Turkey. Soon after it was said
that a new dreibund consisting of Rus
STA. Germany and Austria was to be
formed. Now NJ De Blowitz, who is
generally considered the best Informed
European correspondent. writes the
London Times that the German En-
peror has recently been endeavoring to
persuade France to interest Russia in 9

OF colonization in South Africa. 1t IS
very evident that England is taking
advantage of the disturbance In the
East to advance vigorously toward the
accomplishment of her purpose in
South Africa. Let Europe fight out
among themselves the distribution of

/ peninsula. England will take her share

as good condition to exact her claims
| as she would have been had she not
strengthened herself in South Africa.
The Justice of all this is more difficult
to understand. BY means of England
| the alleged integrity of the Turkish
empire was sustained when it should
] have been destroyed. She has assumed
! to protect the people whom she has
since indirectly permitted the Turks to
| slaughter because she wished to avoid
4 the trouble and danger she would have
incurred in trying to put a stop to it,
Now she is planning to wrest territory
belonging. to the Beers. of the Trans
vaal from them without other excuse
than that she has the power to do so.

Bv appointing Edward G. Brad

BY appointing Edward G. Bradford
champion of ex-senator Higgins, dis
trict judge in Delaware, President Nc
Kinley has fittingly rebuked Addicks
and his methods which deprived the
Republican party of a useful senator
at this critical time. That Kentucky
wrangle is almost equally discreditable
The men engaging in it act as if they
owed duty or fealty to no one save
their insignificant selves. While they
are thus disgracing themselves, the
tariff bill in the United States Senate
depends on the nod of Jones of New
ada. Mr. McKinley's appointment ex
pressed the sentiment of the Republi
can party none too forcibly.
