TIN PLATE TRUST.
The Articles Of Incorporation Filed
in Trenton, N. j., Yesterday.

Trenton, n. j., December 15.-Arti-
cles of incorporation of the American
Tin Plate Company were filed with the
Secretary of State to-day. The COM
pany has an authorized capital of $780,
100000.
The company is empowered to man
ufacture and deal in tin, terne, black
plate, steel sheets and kindred pro-
ducts. Also to own and operate mines.
The capital stock is divided into $2O,-
OOO,OOO preferred and $1,000, 600 COM
mon stock. The preferred stock is to
pay per cent. cumulative dividends.
It is provided in the articles that the
property of the company can only be
mortgaged by the consent of holders
of a majority of the preferred stock.
The incirporators are: James B. Dill,
New York; Howard X. Wood, East
Orange, and Duncan P. McLaren, East
Orange.
New York, December 15.-Regarding
I0e american L Ill Ildlc SOiupdhy (,
which was incorporated at Trenton, the
Evening Post says
THE certificate of incorporation is
departure from the charter of any OF
the previous combinations, in that, in
stead of granting unlimited power to a
board of directors to do practically
anything that the corporation could do,
great care has been taken to restrict
the board Of directors and keen the
final decisive vote on all important
matters in the stockholders. The
power to make mortgages is
specially taken from the directors, and
provision is made that no mortgage
upon the companys property whatever
shall be valid without the consent, in
writing, of two-thirds of the stock
holders.
The integrity of the stock as an in
vestment is preserved by forbidding the
creation of any lien by the board of d.
rectors which stands on a par with the
preferred stock. The payment of divi-
dends is assured by forbidding the direct
ors to reserve a surplus fund not charge
able with the payment of dividends.
This new trust is said TO be one of the
most complete trade combinations ever
effected Ninety-two per cent. of the
manufacturers joined it at the start and
the remaining eight per cent have since
come into the combination"

CHIEF CAUSES Of FLOODS.
Continued from First Page.

deeper channel obtained by that meth
cd. To secure d greater volume Of
water it would Ee necessary to build
and prolong great training bikes at the
head of the pass and to fortify them
with mattress sills and other works so
as to bring Gbout a larger flow. In the
next place, it would be necessary to
build strong and extensive levees on
both sides Of the pass from the heads
Of the jetties. There is scarcely suf-
ficient foundation for such levees.
The earth and riprapping would have
to be brought from great distance and
the embankment would be subject,
more or less, to the storms, the waves
and the back-wash of the gulf. In
short, such leveeing would be an ex-
tensive and most expensive jettying
from the head of the pass to deep
water in the gulf. These are some Of
the difficulties which occur even to the
lay mind. To say the least, the cost
would be enormous and the result very
doubtful and problematical."
The committee then turns its atten-
ton to the Southwest pass, saying;
But the commerce of the Mississippi
Valley asks and is entitled to much
deeper and broader channel to the
sea than that now afforded or likely
to be afforded by the South pass. The
Southwest pass is regarded in many
quarters-lay and expert-as the cheap
est and most feasible route through
which to obtain the requisite deep
water navigation. Congress has al
ready made provision for thorough
examination and survey Of the route.
The engineers having the work in
charge have not made their report, nor
completed their work, and until they
do, it would be premature for us to
suggest or advise. We may add that
to improve the Southwest pass, and at
the same time to maintain and utilize
the South pass, and thus to secure the
advantage of two passes, is no novelty.
This plan was adopted in 1856, when
provision was made and work carried
on for the improvement of both the
Southwest pass and Pass IOutre, so
that in case of extensive repairs or ac-
cidents, there would always be one pass
open and available for navigation"
