WOULD ENCOURAGE TRUSTS.
ture That Would Make the state "A
Rival of New Jersey.

jefferson City, Mo, April 1.-The
committee on private corporations has
prepared and recommended for passag e
a bill which would make Missouri a
rival of New Jersey as a home for
trusts. The bill provides that corpor-
ations doing similar business can com
bine and have their capital stock
equal in amount to the combined
capital of the companies in the
combination. 1t provides for
common and preferred stock to
be issued as the consolidat-
ing companies may agree upon. There
is no restriction as to the capitalize
ton and the old difficulty in the way
of unlimited consultations, objections
by minority stock holders, is wiped out
entirely by the following clause in the
new bill: And provided further, that
any non-assenting stakeholder OF any
of the old companies shall be paid IN
cash by the new corporation the mar
i<et value of mis- stock a the date Of
said consolidation"

FALCON ISLAND RECEDING,


Ssn Francisco, Jan. 30.--The news
has been brought here from Australia
that the British man-of-war Penguin
has just returned to Sydney, n. S. W..
after taking soundings between the
Island of Longi and Aukland, n. Y.
The officers found that Falcon island
which suddenly came up out of the
ocean in 1885, is gradually receding.
When relocated by the Pcnguin's
officers, they discovered that the isl
and is now under three fathoms of
water. The officers of the Penguin
also succeeded in taking the temper
ature of the ocean at a greater depth
than ever before Hitherto when the
thermometer got down Il certain depth
it was invariably broken. On this oc-
casion the thermometer was sent
down 4,162 fathoms, where the temper.
atnre was found to be 35.5 degrees,
while on the surface the temperature
was So degrees. This, the officers OF
the Penguin assert, is the deepest
ocean reading ever taken.

b. II. H, Hoyce, who was supposed tc
be acting for Senator Hanna when the
latter was n candidate. 4 suit N.s
filed here. and the attempt was made
to garnishee the money alleged to be
in the possession of Campbell. He ap.
peared in court, said that the money
was in New York, where it was tied
up by ain order of court in suits filed
there against Boyce and that II could
not be brought here without incur
ring the penalty of the court there. II
was also asserted by counsel fol
Campbell that the money was not the
property of Boyce, but. Of Senator
Hanna. This was denied, and it was
asserted that they could not show that
the money ever belonged to the sen.
ator. Judge Dempsey took the matter
under advisement.
John c. Otis is the republican mem
Der of the legislature from Cincinnati
who claimed, year ago, to have been
offered $1,700 for his vote for senator.
Campbell is his attorney, and it was
claimed that H. II. Boycc paid the
money to Campbell. There are some
who deny the whole story, claiming
that the money was never turned over
to any one or offered to Otis, and the
suit is brought both to test the claim
that it was brought so as to have
an effect on the senatorial contest
and also for the benefit of Boyce's
creditors. The matter was inyestigat-
ed by the legislature year ago by a
committee, of which Vernon II. Burke,
of Cleveland was chairman.
