YARN MIL COMBINATION.
Another Great Trust in Process of
EQUALIZATION.

TAUNTON. Mass, May 1.-THE Evening
News says: The great yarn mill combina-
ton is fast assuming definite shape. II is
understood that the principal owners of the
Cowhannet mills nave practically agreed TO
give Andrew G.. Pierce and W.. w. Grape,
of New Bedford, an option TO purchase their
stock at $500 per share. Messrs. Pierce and
Grape act as agents for Barrow. Wade.
Guthrie & Co.. of New York. who are &C
countants and promoters in the interests of
English and American capitalists desiring
to invest their funds in the yarn industry
of Bristol county, which lave proved so
successful under local management. The
stockholders of the Nemasket mills of this
city also nave been asked by the same
agents to give a sixty-day option on their
stock at $40 per share. and notice will be
sent to the stockholders requesting reply
as to whether they are willing TO accept or
not. Every s~tockholder will therefore have
to decide for himself whether he Is willing
TO sell out for a 10 per cent. increase above
the original cost. There are about 200 diff
ferent owners and 1T is a serious question
for them TO decide whether they will dispose
of a 6 per cent. stock for a premium OF $40
a share. Pierce and the banks which hold
the Bennett e. Rowland mill stock are prac-
tically unanimous in giving Pierce and
Grape a sixty-day option of $40 for the
Bennett mill and $40 for the Rowland. New
Bedford. Providence, Taunton. Fall River
and Boston banks are said to own a control
which came to them through their note
holdings at the time Of the reorganization,
two years ago, after the Hadley & Rowland
collapse.

FAVOR ANNEXATION.
Bishop Hawley's View of the Sentf-
ment of New FOundlauders.

MARSHALL, Mich, May n.-Rt. Rev.
Bishop Hawley, of St. Johns, N. F., admin
istered confirmation in St Mary's Church
to-day to a large class. In an Interview
Bishop Hswley said: The public sentiment
of New Foundland Is more in favor of an
nexation to America than Of confederation
with Canada This feeling has been accent
uated by the fact that the country has been
recently betrayed and drawn into a most
shameful railway contract by a Canadian
syndicate and Canadian politicians. 1t
amounts to a virtual swiDdling of the coun-
try out of a S13. 600 railway and ali our
coal. minerals, forests and agricultural lands.
A desperate fight for our freedom is now
imminent. The local Parliament opened to-
day and ii is believed the government will
be defeated, and the contract broken up. l
do not believe there Is any immediate pros
pect of the settlement Of the French shore
question. The complication arises not from
any intrinsic difficulty in the case but be-
cause politicians have always thought of 1t
rather as a means of exploiting their own
popularity than of relieving the country OF
the grave burdens of the French agrees

BICYCLE TRUST ADVOCATED.
Views of A.. FeatherstOne and II. s.
Crawford, Manufacturers

NEW YORK, May the forma-
tion of a bicycle trust was announced some
time ago IL created considerable stir in this
country and abroad among those directly n
terested in the industry. Many of the promi-
nent manufacturers have been in this city
during the last few days. but IL has been a
difficult matter to get any of them to say
anything about the trust There has been
more or less talk about an opposition COM
bination. but A. CT. SpaIding. who was said
to be the head Of the trust. has positively
refused to be interviewed on the matter.
and IL was not until to-day that any of the
makers would have anything to say.
A. Featherstone. of Featherstone e. Co.,
with a plant at Chicago. was interviewed
tonight. After stating that Mr.. Spalding
had the firms options. which would not be
withdrawn. he said: II confidently believe
that the company Is assured and will be
formed on precisely the original lines. / be-
lieve that this combination will prove bene-
fetal TO every person in this country con-
nected with the bicycle industry, including
the riders. 1t will give more employment
and probably larger wages to mechanics. as
the factories can be operated more months
In each year. 1t will be better for riders,
because the quality of the machines will be
improved. / understand that 1T is the inten-
ton OF the new company 10 make a strong
but be beneficial TO the entire country, as
the bicycle industry Is carried on in almost
every State. i don't think 1t will be possible
70 organize an opposition company. for 1
know positively that Mr.. Spalding has in his
possession more than one hundred signed
options giving him the right 10 purchase
bicycle factory plants"
r. 5. Crawford, Of the Crawford Manu-
featuring Company. of Hagerstown. Md.
said: Il am with the Spalding combination
and expect to be to the finish. The first COM
bination so completely covers the ground
that there is not enough left for a nucleus
for a second"

Trottinr Board cf Review.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The board of review
of the National Trotting Association con-
cluded its three days session to-day and adj
journed. During its stay in the city de-
cisions were rendered in one hundred cases
affecting trotting clubs and fair o~rganiza-
tons in all parts of the country. The last
case decided was that Of the National Trot-
ting Association against the Louisville
Driving and Fair Association. The case
was interesting for the reason that 1t in
volved the power of a Judge or association
to suspend or modify a fine assessed against
a driver after the action Of the authorities
has been publicly announced from the
stand. The board of review declared that
the Judges or association had no authority
under the rules to remit a fine after 1t had
been announced. In addition TO this the
members held that all fines must be re-
ported promptly to the board and the Louis
Vile Driving and Fair Association was GEN.
sured for falling to comply with this pro-
stand and the association was instructed
TO report. Pending this action a final de-
cision was withheld. The case in question
occurred at a meeting of the Louisville
Driving and Fair Association last fall, when
the judges fined w. O. Foote $500, George
Saunders 800, and Fred Keyes $50 for lay
ing up heats in the Douglass stakes, which
were RENTED shortly after by the judges.
The next meeting of the board will be held
in December in New York.

LETTER FROM CARNEGIE.
He Thinks the Steel Industry May
Continue on Ton Wave.

Continue ON Top Prosperity Wave.
CLEVELAND, o., May 1.-THE Iron and
Trade Review of to-day prints a letter,
written to its editor. by Andrew Carnegie.
Just before he sailed for Europe. The paper
refers to 1t as "Mr. Carnegie's last trade
utterance as an American steel master"
and adds that the developments of the past
week give special significance and interest
to 1t. The letter follows:
Concerning the prospects for business in
1888 there Is no doubt. So many orders for
the present year are on the books of manu-
facturers that Ii wocld require some very
startling element TO affect the result. / do
NOT see any probability of the prevailing
prosperity coming TO an end before next
-winter-perhaps not then-although the rise
tn prices must tend to check consumption,
and especially the export trade: but the
difficulty now Is TO take care Of the home
covering actual requirements and not in
creasing stocks. Although the demand
abroad Is not so great. prices are still adj
vancing and we might find a market for
considerable quantities, even at the present
prices here.
When the depression comes the American
manufacturer will have one reserve. which
has not hitherto been his. namely, he will
be able to produce at a cost which will en-
able him to supply the world outside, and
this. fortunately, will keep labor more fully
employed than II has been hitherto under
similar circumstances. Another element in
his favor Is the increased consumption of
steel, its use for so many things; so that. on
