TO CORNER WORLDS COPPER.
Trust Forming With ROckefellers ant
Rothschiids at It's Head.

According to a dispatch from New York
copper trust that will control the output
of the world is the latest scheme of the
Rockefellers and their associates in the
Standard Oil Company. 1t will not be long
before the public will feel it in the increas-
ed price of copper. the only metal in the
world whose supply cannot meet the de-
mand
The plans of the nillonaires include the
absorption of several rich companies that
have heretofore held out against the for
nation OF trust. During the last month
several mines have been quietly bought up
by common interests, represented by the
Amalgamated Copper Company. When all
these mines are secured the great concern
will reach out abroad to gobble up all the
mines of the world. Once these come under
one control the price of copper will be
sharply advanced and held until the own
ers of the giant company have realized i'm
mense profits.
Copper was never higher or in greater de-
mand than it is today. The Rothschilds of
Europe are interested in "copper" too, and
will, so the report runs. join hands with
the Rockefellers in gaining control of the
world.

EXTR ADDITION POLICY.
Criminals to He Taken From Our In
suiar Possessions.

The State Department has determined
upon a general policy of extradition be-
tween this country and Cuba, Hawaii and
other territory wholly or in part under the
direction of the United States. number
of cases have arisen lately in which fugi-
tives from Justice have claimed Immunity
by going to Cuba or other insular posses
sions, on the theory that our relations with
these places were in such a transitory con-
dttion that the usual processes of extradi-
ton would not apply. Before the Spanish
war our treaty with Spain provided for ex-
tradition to and from Cuba and other Span
1sh possessions. but with the treaty an
nulled by the war there is no extradition
system in force. The same is true as to
Hawaii.
The question was recently brought before
the State Department. both as to Cuba and
Hawaii, and a general ruling was made
that If fugitives were located in these ISL
andS an application for extradition, made
in the usual form to the State Department.
would be turned over to the military au-
thorities and steps taken to insure the ex-
tradition of the accused. The same rule
Will apply as to persons from Cuba, Ha-
wall, Porto Rico or the Philippines who
seek refuge in the United States after COM
uniting crimes there, although there will
be no steps taken to induce the local au-
thOrities in these islands to follow refugees
and seek their return.

An opportunity Is presented to the
chamber OF commerce, as the rep.esen-
tative Of the business interests Of this
community. to bring the Wheeling Rail-
way Company and It's striking opera
tors and conductors together again-in
other words TO propose formally to each
side the settlement OF the strike by dis
interested arbitration.
At the meeting OF the union OF tho
strikers. held yesterday afternoon at
Trades Assembly hall. the matter OF
arbitration was discussed at some
length. and the conclusion finally reach
ed by the men was that the arbitration
proposition had not been properly
brought before them, and for that rea-
son they could not state their position
with reference to arbitration.
Last night. the executive committee
OF the strikers union made plain their
position in the following signed state
ment:
We desire to Inform the public In gen.
eral that there is no foundation for the
many and oft-repeated statements by the
press and others that tho striking street
car employees have refused arbitration BY
matter Is local Union Ne. 1903 has never
received any proposition from the Wheel
inG Railway Company TO arbitrate, and
therefore could not define It's position on
that question.
