THE EDITORIAL WE
From the Huntsville Tribune.


 With our face turned down Randolph we were struck. Who struck us, or where, we don't know. We first thought a piece of loose timber from the telephone post hit us; we were blinded and knocked down. We then for the first time realized that some one had assaulted us, was on us and striking us. We reached for our hip pocket for a knife, but had none; but the move ment caused our assailant to relax and move backward. We could not reach him with our hand, hence in desperation we pulled lead pencil from our vest pocket and attempted to drive it in his neck When Captain McGehee extricated us, we asked him who we had been fighting. We told Chief of Police Overron yesterday af- ternoon that we could not of our own in- formation tell who had struck us. Mr. Reu- ben Street and MT. Abe Irwin told us this morning in the presence of Policeman Smith, MT. George Gill and someone else, that he saw the first blow; was standing near by, and we were hit back of the head

reported, there is less danger of in
juring the bottom further by pounding.
Much depends, however on the wealth
er, as the wreck lies in the full sweep
of the monsoons, which prevail at this
season.
As soon as possible court of inquiry
will be called to fix the responsibility
for the wrecking of the ship. This
will follow irrespective of any action
Of the navy department. and will be
ordered by Admiral Watson. Should it
appear that the wreck was caused by
the negligence of any of the Charles
toms officers, courtmartial will follow
the inquiry, but in view Of the exceed
ingly dangerous character Of the north
coast of Luzon, and the lack Of neces-
sary aids to navigation, it is not be-
lieved to be probable that any of the
officers will be found severely censur-

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Concerning the Affairs OF the Carnegie and
Frick Companies.
PITTSBURG, Pa, November 14.-The
following official statement explains it
self:
"At a meeting of the Carnegie Steel
Company and Frick Coke Company in
terests, held to-day, it was resolved
that no change be made, either in or
ganization, ownership or policy. Mr.
Carnegie signified his entire concur
renee with this action. and expressed
himself as delighted to continue as be-
fore with his partners.
with reference to the recent news
paper reports of war between the
Rockefeller and Carnegie interests,
the company states that these have no
foundation in fact. The Rockefeller
feet carries the ore mined by the Car
negie Steel Company from the mines
leased from Rockefeller, about 100000
tons per annlm, but the Rockefeller
boats being unable to transport more
of the Carnegie ore which was offered,
the Carnegie Steel Company was COM
PEELED to provide its own boats, its to-
tai shipments being 100000 tons.
There is no truth in the report that
the Carnegie Steel Company contem-
plates going into ship building at Con-
neaut"

There was some surprise expressed
that so long time elapsed since the
wreck before news of the fact reached
the Navy Department. 1t appears,
however, that this delay was inevitable,
owing to the isolated position of the
wreck. Kamiguin island is a small is
lands lying about north of APART,
which%s the most northerly port OF the
island of LuZon. 1t is distant about
ESQ miles from Lingayen gulf, where
are stationed the nearest of the war
ships of Watson's feet. When Acting
Secretary Allen reached the Navy De-
partment this morning he communica-
ted with the White House and then by
direction of the President went over at
once, carrying chart of Northern
Luzon and the cablegram from Wat
son.
Admiral Watson appears to have
acted at once upon receipt of the news,
for he informed the Navy Department
that he had cabled across TO Hongkong
to secure the help of experienced
wreckers to proceed at once to the scene
of the accident The Navy Depart
ment has already a constructor on the
ground in the person of Lieut.. Hobson,
who may be called upon to assume
charge of the wrecking operations.
A careful reading of the cablegram
from Admiral Watson convinces the Of
ficials that there is a fair chance Of
saving the Charleston They say that
the name OF the ship Is painted about
three or four feet below the rail. This
IS an indication that the main deck is
above water. which would make the

Of questions he had sent him in very arbi-

seemed to be talking ut cross purposes along
this line The speaker pointed out that Bryan
has started out by saving that he had come to
