Wont Fight Carnegie.

New York. Dec. 21.-The Tribune says:
TIL conferences concerning the future
organization and operation of the Carne-
gle Steel company are said to be con-
cluded for the present with everything
settled. While neither Mr.. Carnegie nor
Mr.. Frick will talk about the situation,
it was learned from a trustworthy source
that There is little likelihood of Mr..
Tricks starting in to organize a mpa
to fight the Carnegie company. Mr..
Tricks interests, SO this authority said,
are SO deeply connected with the Carne-
gle company hat for him to do anything
to hurt that company would work him
great harm. The Carnegie people are
said to be aware of this. and, while they
know that Mr.. Frich IS irritated and dis
appointed Just now they think he will
come around all right ard join with Mr..
Carnegie and others IS a consulting part
Eer. There is a plan under discussion,
SO it is said. to abolish the office of chair
man and allow the Office to die with Mr.,
Prick. Instead, another office similar in
character. but bearing another name. will
be created. H.. w. Oliver of Pittsburg
has been named as likely to take charge
hen Mr.. Prick steps aside. No confr-
nation of this could be secured here, but
1t was said that formal announcement
would be made in time in P~ittsburg.

LaWtOn Died Poor.

Washington, Dec. 20.-A general order
VIII be issued from the war department
today announcing the death OF Gen. Law
ton to the army officially and paying ap-
propiiate tribute to his worth. 1t is the
intention of the officials to have the
remains brought to the United States for
fnal i~nterment, but it is not known when
this can 1be done. Gen. LaWton died a
poor man, although but few beyond his
circle of immediate friends knew of the
small ~pecuniary return that had come to
him from his life work in behalf of his
ountry Therefore some of these friends
have thought proper now to come to the
aid of his family, as is shown by the fol-
lowing statement addressed to the Amer
lean people, issued today:
washington. Dec. 20, 1Ss9.-Maj. Gen.
Henry w. LaWton, U. IS. ", whose death
occurred at San Mateo, Island of Luzon,
Dee. is, has left little but his good name
as a legacy to his wife and children. A
piece of property purchased by him as a
home in California has a mortgage of
half the purchase price still outstanding
and unliquidated. The undersigned have
voluntarily associated themselves to-
gether for the purpose of raising funds to
pay Off the Indebtedness. Contributions
will be thankfully received by them and
he devoted to the object herein above set
forth.

Senator Fairbanks saw the president
today in regard to the return Of Gen.
LawtOn's body to the United States. The
senator suggested that the funeral SER
ices be given something of a national
character.
Secretary Root gave out the following
statement:
1T is seldom that a loss can be called
~irreparable as in the case of Gen. Law
toms death. Because he not only DOS
sessed the highest sofdierly qualities, but
the process of selection by actual expert
ence had brought about universal recog-
milton of these qualities, while he was in
the full vigor of life, so that the opportu-
nifty for great usefulness and the highest
commands lay before him. He had not
merely the quality of courage. but the
quality of command, which inspired his
troops with his indomitable will and dis
regard of danger. When the story Of
his march through central and northern
Luzon in the autumn Of 1899 comes to be
written, I believe that the crownfng
achievement of his life of luz and
Noble service will he deemed to add lus-
ter to American arms and secure for
an enduring place as one Of the he
roic figures of American history"

THE Doctors DISAGREED

LONDON Globe: Some Vienna Swans
were lately confronted with a LANGUAGE
difficulty. According to the "Independ-
ahce Beige a young girl, unknown was
found unconscious in a street at Pres
'Durg, and was conveyed to ...a hospital
at Vienna, where she recovered CON
sclousness and 'began to speak in a Ian
suaSe which no one present could under
STAND. Inc doctors came to the con-
ciusion that the young woman was a ma
1--WE OF an eastern country. Consequent
ly some professors from the Oriental
school were called in. and they were all
asfeea that the girl did not speak a cor
rect lailguase, but a dialect. The pro-
fessor OF Persian hel dthat she spoke a
PERSIAN dialect, and that he understood
1t. Another professor was Of opinion
that it was an Abyssinian dialect. A
third was convinced hat it wa a Turk
ism Datois. Since the savans were not
agreed the police deemed it necessary to
make inquiries, with the result that the
stranger was proved to be an Hungar-
ian. who had escaped from a prison and
who Gid not understand A word of Per.
sian. Abyssinian or Turkish.

Will be Fully Year Before Their
Object Can be Accomplished--Hep-
burns EndeavOr.

New York, Dec. 21.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Legis-
lation providing for the construction of
a trans-isthmian canal is not probable
during the present session of congress.
Both the Nicaraguan canal committee in
the senate, presided over by Senator
Morgan, and he house committee on
Interstate and foreign pre-
ided over by Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa. pro-
pose to tax the matter up without wait
ing for the report of the Walker COM
however. that they will be able to get a
bill through either house of congress be-
fore that report is available.
The alike commission will cave New
York on January 6. going direct to Grey
W Nicaragua. by the regular mail
steamer. They will go over the route of
the N~lcaraguan canal to the Pacific side
and will then go by steamer to the Pa
cifc end of the Panama route. The
commission has now in the field ten sur
veying parties. The commissioners esti-
mate that it will take about a year for
them to complete all their work and
make their report. Senator Morgan has
never given his approval to the sending
OF the additional commission to the
lsthmus being satisfied with the infor-
nation already available as to the prac-
tlcability of the canal. He will endeayor
to nave his bill reported from his COM
mittee. Representative Hepburn also be-
lleves the provision for the Walker COM
MISSION was intended to delay the con-
structlon OF q canal. and will endeayor
to nave his committee take I'M tho sub
Ject immediately after the holiday re-
cess.

December Activity Is Most
Remarkable.
PIG IRON PRODUCTION
Is Now at the Rate of Fifteen Million
Tons a Year-The Future of the
Market is Said to be an Uncertain
Quantity.

cleveland, Dec. 21.-The Iron Trade Re-
view says: With far more than the u.s.
ual December activity, yet with a gen.
eral quiet that is in marked contrast with
conditions a few months ago, the iron
trade comes to the end of his remark
able year. Production of pig iron is now
at the rate of $4,000, 600 tons a year, APP
parently consumption is substantially on
the same level. We find nowhere any
tangible signs of diminished consumption
due to the present level of prices. but
with every month ~nsunl who have
used up the material on their low level
contracts are coming to wha seems a
prodigious advan in their cost.
The decisions that Will be made in the
next two or three months in such cases
will have much to do in determining the
rate at which iron and steel will be alb
sorbed in the second half of 1900. 1t
appears hat ore buyers for the most part
have contracted for supplies for months
ahead and not to the opening of naviga-
ton in 1901. The pig iron situation has
not changed. The forces seem SO we'll
balanced that at the monent a definite
statement is difficult. In the east sales
are made al prices recently prevalent so
that the sellers assume freight advances
effective Jan. |. S~entimentally, the situa-
ton is easier. What this will come to
will be tested by the January buying that
is generally looked for.
In the central west the latest ransa
tons in Rsssemer iron have been at the
highest price and on some lots the equi-
valent Of $25, Pittsbu1g, has been paid.
The gap between BeSSemer pig iron and
steel is still less than in the more active
fall months. the former being higher and
the latter slightly lower. Billet contracts
for the first half could be made no doubt
at S35 to $36, central western mills. In
finished material the establishments OF
prices are almost entirely in plates and
sheets. On the former 2.35 cents Pitts
has been shaded on bis on a 800
ton lot of ship plates for delivery at a
Erie yard, but in general $40 cents
for tank and $50 to $50 cents for boiler
steel is the ~Fittsburg basis.
A firner stand of sheets is in evidence
in sons markets, but this is not general.
material is quite active and in
est line on the list. That high prices
would conspicuously check demand here
Is a prophecy entirely discredited by the
of the mills. We note a 5000
ton contract in the Cleveland district, TO-
900 tons closed in the Chicago district and
an equal tonnage pending there. Rail
buying continues with good prospect of
further purchases, both on domestic and
foreign account. A %, coo ton contract has
just been made by a western road.
