BROTHER MAURELIAN CALLED.
1t Is Said He Goes to Paris TO BE
DiSciplined.

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 17.-Brother Maui
relian, president of the Christian Brothers
College, at Memphis, Tenn. is to be disci-
plined by the provincial general for intro
ducing advanced studies into the curricu-
lum of educational institutions.
He received orders last Wednesday to
start for Paris at once, and Will sail from
this city in the course of a few days. What
will befall him after he gets there can
only be surmised from the fate of those
who have gone before him, some of whom
have been transferred TO the remote por-
tions of Asia and to obscure parts of
Europe.
Brother Maurelian, who is now about
fifty years old, was born at Baltimore.
Md, and entered the order when eleven
years old. He was located for some .ime
at Pass Christian College, in Louisiana.
and eventually became its president. When
the college at Memphis was founded. about
1871 he became president there
Brother Maurelian was the Popes repre-
sentative at the Chicago Worlds Fair in
the art department, which was in La Ra-
bida Convent, and he was also secretary
and manager of the Catholic education ex-
hibit He was also the leader OF the fight
against the admission of improper pictures
in the art galleries of the Fair, and sent
out a petition bearing on the subject. to
which, it is said twenty-five million sigma
lures were obtained.
Afterward he went to Rome where he
was favored with special audience by the
Pope, who presented him with a memorial
as a token of regard, and soon after he was
constituted vice provincial of the order OF
the United States and made visitor TO the
colleges Of the southwestern part of the

Professor Lachambe. Who Made the
Balloon. Considers Ii Within the
Range of Possibility.

Stockholm, Jan. I7.-Prof. Lachamb:e,
the aeronaut who made the balloon in
which his friend Andree started from
Spitzbergen, on July /, 1897, on his jour
ney to the North Pole, has assured the
anxious relatives and friends of the San
dinavian explorer that he doss not despair
of seeing Andree again, despite the nov
almost universal belief that he has perish
ed In a letter the balloon man says:
consider il quite possible that Andree reached
the North Pole, and landed from his balloon on
the further side of il, and that he was obliged TO
winter where the balloon fell. No reasonable
conclusion can be formed TO his safety before
the expiration OF three years. Andree, be
lieye, is safe, and he has plenty of provisions for
three years OF more. Audree, il may be remem-
beTcd, had two companions in his balloon-Messrs.
StrindberE and Fraenkel. The balloon was well
stored with provisions consisting of tins of pre-.
served foods of all kinds chocolate, compressed
bread. condensed milk. champagne, claTet, alco-
ho fresh water and butter.
The stores. indeed weighed less than :, 900
pounds. Sledges were on board the balloon and
boats also. There was nothing wanting that was
likely to be required. and experts who followed
the manufacture of the balloon, step by step,
examined mnutely all its parts, and found every
thing perfect.
Prof Lachambre also denounces the
German North Pole expedition, which, un-
der the management of DR.. Werner and
Capt. Rudiger, has destroyed and looted
the shed in Spitzbergen in which the bal
loon was inflated. They almost wrecked
the smaller hut, also, which contained An

were the Bavarian Minister Won Cralls-

gen on August 13 and found the windows
and doors of the storehouse open and the
balloon house broken up. Everything in
the storehouse was lying about in inde-
scribable confusion. Boxes of preserves
and canned goods had been broken open,
and IT was evident that the men. after
assuaging their appetite, cared nothing for

RIVALRY BETWEEN
BIG SYNDIcATES
THE WIRE AND STEEL TRUSTS
A Plan to Consolidate That Had
Been Under Consideration Found
ImpracticabIe.

Impractfcable.
New York, Jan. 17.-There is to be no
consolidation of the Federal Steel Com
pany and the Wire Trust, as was init
mated would happen when the big $780,
100000 Steel Trust was first organized. 1t
| was then thought that the Wire Trust
would be absorbed in the near future, and
! that the Steel Trust would control iron in
all it's forms.
The Wire Trust until recently was q
| comparatively small concern of $24, 00O, 900.
| Taking note from its giant neighbor, 1t
| decided to branch out and to go into the
| iron and steel business itself, so it reorgan-
lied with $90,000,000 capital stock. Curl
ously enough the most active promoter of
| the greater Wire Trust is j. w. Gates,
| who used to be president of the Illinois
Steel Company, which was absorbed by the
Federal Steel Company, and who was one
| of the leading organizers of the Federal
F., Company.
Indications now point to a spirited rival
| ry between the Federal Steel Company and
| the new American Steel and Wire Com
| pany. the greater Wire Trust, which has
| just been incorporated in New Jersey and
which intends to deal in steel and pig iron
| as well as in the manufacture Of wire and
| wire nails, which was the fundamental idea
| OF the original American Steel and Wire
Company when it was organized less than
| year ago under the laws of Illinois.
Having assumed a competitive position,
| it is regarded as extremely like Y that at
| no distant date circumstances may find
| the two companies acting aggressively If
| business should slacken up The Wire
| Trust indicated its purpose to pursue a
radically independent policy by get ng
| control of the Cleveland Rolling Mills an /
| the Oliver Snyder Steel Company, of
| Pittsburg, both of which are large pro-
! ducers OF pig iron and steel.
! The two companies have contracts with
the largest mining operators for obtaining
| iron ore at the lowest price, and the
| American Wire Trust is, therefore, in a
| position to supply all of its own wants.
The latest stroke of the Wire Trust is
| regarded in the trade a brilliant one,
and it is believed TO dispose of the origi-
| nal plant of the Steel Trust TO absorb
every branch of the steel and iron indus
try. Each big combiIJ tion will hence
| forth go its own way and try TO cora
! all of the business in sight.
Incidentally il may be said that the So
called friendly rivalry which has already
been stirred up between these two con-
Germs has manifested itself in sharp COM
petition for independent rolling mills.
and in the trade the opinion is enterta n
! ed that, outside of the Carnegies and per-
| haps one other large concern, all of the
rolling mills worth having will probably
! be swallowed up in the effort 10 out5trip
each other. 1t was apparently this rivalry
that compelled the Wire Trust to pay a
big price for the Cleveland Rolling Nj Is
the cost of control being, it is reported
about 81, go a share.

OAKLAND SANITARIUm.
what the People Think of the
Change From the Hotel.

Change From the Hotel.
Oakland Md. Jan. 17.-Some of the citi-
zens OF Oakland do not take kindly to the
idea of seeing the Oakland Hotel leased
for the purpose of a sanitarum. They
imagine it will have a disastrous effect
upon the town as summer resort. But
sanitarium is a resort for all the year
around, and the hotel property being used
for that purpose will clear the field for
another hotel and widen the business op-
portunity in many other respects. The
sanitarium will of itself infuse new busi-
ness impulse into the energies of the town,
which must get rid of village notions if il
would prosper.
1t is stated that after the old Glades'
Hotel was destroyed by fire in 1874 the
late John W. Garrett, president of the
Baltimore and Ohio. offered to erect
hotel in Oakland if the people of the town
would provide the necessary ground A
few of the leading citizens contributed
about $4,000 and purchased the beautiful
grounds upon which the Baltimore and
Ohio Company erected the hotel buildings.
Since 1876, except year or two when it
was leased, the company has operated the
hotel as a summer resort. and while it
has become famouS in that line, the prop
erty has never been a paying concern.
Notwithstanding this fact the peop'e of
Oakland have through all these years en-
joyed all the advantages which a first
class summer hotel brings to a communi-
ty, and they very naturally dislike to be
deprived of these privileges and advan-
tages.
There are other citizens who take a
practical view of things who say the

MARYLAND COAL.
TWo-Thirds Of the George'S Creek
Region Already Mined.

y
Region Already Mined.
Cumberland, Md. Jan. 17.-State Mine
Inspector Alexander Rankin, of Frostburg,
speaking of the Georges Creek-Cumber-
land coal region, says that two-thirds OF
the estimated area of the region, l., 900
acres, based on an early survey, have been
mined. The principal vein, known as the
Big Vein, begins north of Frostburg and
extends in southwesterly direction to
the Potomac River, a distance of eighteen
miles. The greatest width of the vein is
at Frostburg. where it lies in one continu-
GUS layer from ten to fourteen feet thick
across the valley, a distance of three and
one-half miles. North of Frostburg this
vein is divided by the valleys of two small
streams, Braddock Run and Jennings
Run, into three divisions. South of Frost
burg, five miles distant. il is similarly di-
vided by Georges Greek. Other but small
er veins underlie the big vein, which is
b9ng exhausted at some points At the
southern end of the region the smaller
veins are being worked and the coal yield
ed is OF very fair quality
Mr. Rankin adds: With improved meth
DDS OF mining, improved facilities for
handling coal and the reputation of fur
nishing excellent steam coal, there is no
reason to apprehend any loss Of markets
Much more coal per acre is gotten out
than under obsolete systems, and the ma
chinery now used includes the latest and
best types of stationary engines, air COM
pressors, pumps, tail-rope haulage sys-
TENS, etc. These appliances have increas-
ed the quantity mined, besides placing coal
in better shape in the hands of the con-
sumer. The region affords employment 10

THE PHILIPPINES
Rev. Clay NacCauley, of Toxic,
Finds Three Solutions.
'FayOrs a PrOtectOrate as the Best
Course.
Annexation by Force, He Thinks,
Would Produce Most Disas-
trous Foreign War.

Paris, Jan. 1.-THE European edition
OF the Herald publishes the following dis
patch from Hongkong, dated yesterday:
The Rev. Clay MacCauley. professor of
theology at Toxic, who recently arrived
from the Philippines, says that as the re-
suit OF his study OF the situation at Ma
Mia he thinks now there are only three
ways open for the United States TO solve
the Philippine problem.
The first is annexation by force or pur
chase. To use force means the most dis
astrous foreign war in American history,
entailing great loss of life and expendi-
ture of money. Moreover it would be
violation of national honor.
Purchases means the recognition OF the
insurgents as allies of the United States
during the war with Spain; rewarding the
Filipino leaders with officers salaries, en-
ployment Of the insurgents in military and
civil Offices and also giving them back pay
as allies for some months. Such a pur-
chase would secure compromising gain of
doubtful tenure. The Americans in Ma
Mia are generally opposed TO annexation
in any form.
The second solution is a complete trans
fer of sovereignty from Spain TO a Fl ipi-
nos republic and the retention by the
United States for her own use of Manila
Bay and port. just as Hongkong is kept
by Great Britain. This solution means
the eXposureN of the defenseless Philip
pines TO the greed of the powers, with a
consequent acute crisis in Europe over
Far Eastern questions. This way is Meth
er honorable nor wise.
The third possible solution is autonomy
under an American protectorate. Tn S
means an independent Filipino republic
controlling the administration of internal
affairs, the United States taking charge
of the supreme judiciary and foreign rela
lions, such as the power of making war
or treaties, while having control OF the
customs. This solution. Ir. MacCauloy
thinks, might bring about a tutelage,
which would result in the future absolute
independence of the islands or voluntary
annexation TO the United States.
The third way only, he says, means
peace and prosperity both TO the United
States and the Philippines. In any case,
immediate action is imperative
l submitted these remarks to a leading
member of the Filipino directorate al
Hongkong He declared readily and en-
phatically that the Filipinos would refuse
absolutely TO hand over the customs.
There would be no objection to paying

APARTMENT HOUSES IN MALTA.
Opportunity for American Enter
prise in Their Construction.

few years ago some Maltese capitalists
decided TO erect in the city of Valletta an
apartment house. The matter was an cx-
pertinent with them, as fats had been un-
known here. The owners endeayored TO
incorporate in the construction the most
modern ideas, and the result is today a
fine building occupying a whole block on
one Of the best streets in the city. So sue
cessful was the experiment that every fat
in the building, numbering about thirty.
has been constantly occupied. BY reason
OF their success. the owners have conclud-
ed to erect in the near future more build
ings OF this class, the demand fully war
ranting the enterprise Land has been Sc
lected and construction is now under con-
sideration.
Experience has brought TO light many
defects in the present building which IL is
proposed TO remedy or improve upon in
the new buildings. For one thing, il is de-
sired that the most modern electrical out
fits, such as bells, etc, be secured. Pas
sengeT elevators and new ideas in plumb
ing are also desired.
American goods are well thought of at
Malta, but, unfortunately, the representa-
tion is somewhat limited due 10 a great
extent TO lack of direct communication
with the United States.
The erection OF these new building nat
urally open field for the American manu-
facturer, and in order that they may be
placed in closer communication with the
builders. Consul Grout at Malta. writes
10 the State Department that he has had
several conversations with the parties re-
ferred TO in relation TO their procuring
American goods for the new buildings. and
has explained to them how our fiat build
ipgs are constructed and finished and the
fittings used. The result is that they have
become interested to such an extent as 10
request him TO procure for them illustrat-
ed catalogues and price lists of goods ap-
pertaining TO the interior fitting up of
buildings OF the above class, and especially
of door locks. hinges, bolts. window fasten-
ings and house hardware in general.
He suggests that our manufacturers
interested in these lines send suitably
printed and illustrated matter. giving as
fun descriptions as possible, with the low
est export prices and terms.
