Commanders Mt Samoa.
BERLIN. April 2s.-with the view OF
rectlfying the reports OF dlscord said to
exist between the three naval COM
manders at Samoa, the Nord- Deutsche-
Zeltung publishes extracts to-day from
the reports of the commander of the
German warship Fake up TO March %,
in which Captain Schoenfelder says:
1.-THE widest rumors are current con-
corning the relations between the OIL
GERS and crow OF the Fake and the
Americans and English. The reports
are due to some of our countrymen who
do not tire Of creating lll-feeling be-
tween the officers and men OF the three
countries ibv promoting such rumors.
AS matter of fact, the relations be-
tween the different commanders and Of
iicers are thoroughly courteous and of
on accommodating character. In spite
of the arduous nature OF his guard
duty, Captain Sturdee attended the fu-
neral OF n Germany sailor, Wfehf, with
deputation OF an officer and sixteen
men and Admiral Kautz holsted his flag
at half mast. No disputes have occur
red between the German and the Amer
lean or English crews.
AT recent meeting the military
representatives of the three powers ex-
pressed Indignation at the rumors and
whenever the commander and officers
OF the Fake meet the American and
English officers and consuls, social
forms are strictly observed"
Dealing with the commencement of
hostillties. March Is. and the fact that
fragment of one of the Philadelph!a's
shells entered the German consulate, tine
report says:
1.-THE German consulate was not pre-
vlously notified of the commencement OF
hostilities and was still Inhabited. 7
Immediately dispatched an officer to
inform Admiral 4Kautz that the Ger
man consulate was not evacuated and
that his shots had struck the building
and requested him to cease firing over
Apla until the Germans were in safety.
Admiral kautz told the officer that ox-
Ing to my representations he would not
continue firing over. Apia and the fol-
lowing day he sent his flag lieutenant
to me and expressed regret at the occur

this condition continued after the re-
lease Of the Manitoba from the reef on

was not satisfactory during that inter-
val.

reach a measure Of the success desired.
and 1t Is possible that this move Is the
beginning OF the end. Last night the
committee met with the company and
discussed the situation. i
: The meeting was held in the council

and executive session." that bane OF
reporters. was the course decided on.
In order to maintain O firm stand
against intruders, Officer James McGui-

admit nobody. And there for the hour
or more OF the conference the officer
maintained vigilans watch, comfort
ably ensconced in O chair.

stated late. by one of the

Its employees. 1t was stated further
that the committee would meet with the
strikers representatives this evening
and the Intellisencers informant added
that Everything would be ready for the
papers by Saturday morning." This
statement might indicate that the strike
would be settled by that time. or that
the council committee, In the event of q
failure to effect a settlement between
the contending parties, would give out
the details of its> efforts to end the
strike. Nothing definite. however can
be arrived at unit. after the meeting
with the strikers tonight, and 1t Is
probable that one or more conferences
will be necessary. Nevertheless, last

IRON TRADE.
Big Movements in the Air-onIy EIe'
$50 rnent of Uncertninty. n

ment of Uncertainty.
CLEVELAND. o.. April 26.-The Iron
Trade Review In Its issue tomorrow.
will say: y
Big movements In the iron trade
have been in the air the past week.
Their significance is paramount. They
show that control by few large corpor-
ations Is not only the destiny Of the
iron trade OF the country. but Is prac-
tlca1ly its condition to-day; and that
movements Just ahead will mean fur
Their dominance by large corporations.
Greater certainty OF profitable prices
year In and year out and OF harmonious
action by the few large interests Is to
result from the deals now under way.
The only apparent element OF uncer-
tainty Is that growing out of the SIS
100000 steel works project at Buffalo.
While on the. face OF 1t this may prom
ise conflict It's final form may give nm-
pie guaranty OF peace. Meantime the
trade Is even more bewIldered than at
any stage OF the consolidation cam
paign, apprecIating fully the fact that a
single days developments may be OF
fnr-reaching Significance.
The Oliver Iron Mining Company
turns out to be the purchaser OF the
Lake Superior Iron Company property,
the leading steel producer OF the coun-
try becoming also the company's largest
single producer Of iron ore. The Oliver
one-sixth OF the CarneSIe-Oliver ore,
goes to the National Steel Company on
a twenty-year contract and the latter
company acquires the Rosenh furnace at
New Castle, and the oliver coke and
coal properties.
It is understood that an important an
nouncement concerning the National
Steel Company will be made In the
near future.
Another company whose future has
been under discussion In the week Is
the Carnegie Steel Company, limited. Il
has been understood for some time that
the company, whose partnership period
expires In 1901, has been planning to in
corporate as stock company. The cap
italization now Is 100000 Under tho
proposed arrangement, capital OF
10000, 900 might be authorized. A new
corporation act recently passed ut Har-
risburg and known as the McClaia law.
provides for the formation Of corpora.
'tlons and for removing the limit OF cap
itallzation which has been 100000. 1000. It
is believed the plans for the Carnegie
Steel Company will soon be consumma-
ted and that the personnel of the new
interests that will come into the cor
poratlon on the broader basis will be
such as to indicate that the big produc.
ers OF iron and steel mean to preserve
profitable prices and avoid conflict.

Down the East Coast.

The through night trains ON the East
Coast Railroad are great convenience
to the passenger who wishes to reach
Palm Beach or Miami. He can have
the comforts of a modern sleeper and
awake at his destination as fresh as
though he had passed the night in a
hotel bed, or he can have the pleasure
of a coach seat to himself, provided
the car is not crowded, and awake at
his destination as fresh as a Wilted
turnip, but still in better condition than
if he had made the journey by day
light. He has avoided the heat of the
day and the distance has seemed to be
shortened, for while he sleeps the train
speeds on.
One morning last week we found
that we had been transferred from one
end of the State to the other and also
that we were in a section where the
foliage products and general country
was so different from what we left
that we could scarcely believe we were
in the same State. Here the feathery
leaves of the cocOanut palm were
gracefully swaying back and forth as
they were caught by the cool and. ever
refreshing breeZes; here the perfume
of the orange, the lemon, and the lime
mingled with the sweet OdOrs of count
less flowers, was waited ON the morn
ing air; here we walked ON roads and
pavements of rock, and could not help
but wonder where the soil came from
in which so many trees and plants
were growing. We can now appreci-
ate that feeling of delight which the
northern visitors used to express when
they had reached our State from the
frozen and barren North, and found
themselves surrounded with balmy air,
