ON YHE HIGH SEAS,
KANSAS BOYS HAVE SAILED
FOR HOME.
Col. Netcalf Says the Tartar Was
Not 0ver.L LOADED Boat Released
and Sailed at Once.

HONG KONG, Sept. l4.-The Tartar,
having aboard the goth Kansas, was
released this morning and sailed i'm
mediately for home. Col. Metcall
said the vessel was not overcrowded
and as the boys were all anxious to
90 home rather than wait for another
vessel, they all stayed aboard.
The charge that the Tartar is over.

ous technicality based on her British
license to carry only so many pas.
sengers, when engaged in the mer.
chant service, and with her hold full
OF cargo. AS an American transport
she carries no cargo, portions Of her
hold being allotted to soldiers, and
specially ventilated and arranged for
their comfort. The quartermaster
general says she could easily carry
several hundred more men than she
has, if she were absolutely owned by
the United States and refitted for it,
her capacity being equal to that Of
the Grant or Sheridan, which take
1000 men.

Rev. E. E. Hollar's New Location.

We are sorry to announce that
Rev. Z. +. Hollar will shortly be
transferred to Evanston. True, the
Evanston charge is a better one than
Rawlns, and the change is in the
nature Of an advancement for the
reverend gentleman. While we are
pleased that he has been promoted,
we know that there are many people
in Rawlins who will be sorry to learn
Of his contemplated departure. Just
after we had congratulated the mem
bers Of his congregation last week on
the fact that Mr. Hollar had been re-
turned to Rawlins, a telegram was
received from the bishop announcing
the change. Rev. Hollar will remain
in Rawlins until his successor is
named. -[Rawlins, Wyo., Post.

Hope Dispatch: A Topeka paper
says a Silver Lake girl is looking for
Will Tobey, blacksmith Of Hope and
she wants to make an angel out Of
him. 1t says she was here and he
promised to marry her but skipped.
As there is no Will Tobey here, and
as no girl has been here hunting any

the blacksmith Tobeys are still here
and have not been away lately, prob
ably the whole thing is fake.

CarnegIc's Interests Only.

The statement of Mr.. III. G. Frick sets
at rest all the wild stories of gigantic
steel trust as well as the exaggerations
concerning the capitalization of the
Carnegie Company. The consolidation
is simply closer welding of the Car
negie and Frick interests and the capi-
tai will be $3.50, 900, 600 in one kind Of
stock, under a Pennsylvania charter.
Whether any of the securities will be
offered to the investing public has not
yet been determined, though it IS prob
able little if any will get outside the
present partners in the business.
The consolidation is made for better
convenience in handling business that
has attained phenomenal success with
out this advantage. 1t needs no proph-
ct to foretell continuance of that sue
cess in increasing measure. AS Pitts
burg has been proud of the Carnegie
concern, SO it wi II continue to be. 1t is
good news for this city that it is to re-
tain its autonomy and continue the
competitive business which has made
it the leader Of the world of industry.
1t is also gratifying to note that there
is no truth in the rumors of inordinate
imitation of the capital of the new com
pany.
Mr. Frick was wise it making this
statement, for while the consolidation
is a matter Of private business is is Of
great public interest. The effect Of
definite information---especially the
putting to rest Of exaggerated rumors
should be good for the business
world Dispatch.
