WARM DEBATE IN COMMITTEE.

Different Opinions as to the Best Methods
of Getting Control of Utilities.
CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-The committee on
resolutions Of the anti trust conference,
after a STORMY session. finally agreed
upon a report, which will be submitted
to the conference for adoption. The
discussion was caused by difference Of
opinion among the members as to the
details Of how the government should
obtain control of railroad, telegraph and
telephone lines A faction led by Tom
L. Johnson, Louis F.. Post and other
single tax advocates insisted that the
value of franchises I'M assuming control
should be ignored. They thought the
government should take the property
without paying compensation to the
owners. John P. Altgeld,. George F.
Williams, Governor Lee and ex-Attor-
ney General Monett Of Ohio were for
government ownership of these utilities,
but thought the cause would be in
jured by u"
Advocating Practical Confiscation
at this time. Finally John P. Altgeld
suggested a compromise which brought
the warning factions together and pre-
vented fight on the floor Of the con,
vention later. The provisions denying
the value of franchise right were
stricken out and an amendment substi-
tuted declaring that the owners should
receive just compensation for all prop
erty taken, exclusive of watered stock
or other fictitious securities. This ap-
peared to satisfy the radicals and was
adopted. .<r
The platform declares for government
ownership Of all public utilities and nat
ural monopolies, government money,
the referendum and direct legislation
and the withdrawal of protective tariffs
from all articles controlled by a trust.

CHARGES FILED BY FRICK.

Carnegie Accused of Trying to Confiscate
His Property.
PITTsBURG, Feb. 15.-H. @. Frick has
fled bill in equity in the court of COM
mon pleas of Allegheny county against
Andrew Carnegie and the Carnegie
Steel company, limited.
Mr.. Frick asks that the pretended
transfer Of his interests in the company
be declared null and void; that an
injunction be issued restraining de-
PENDANTS from interfering with his in
terests in the said company; that if the
defendants refuse the offers made by
plaintiff receiver be appointed to take
charge Of the business; that an account
ing be taken between Carnegie and the
plaintiff whereby Carnegie shall be
charged with all the losses, expense and
damage he has caused by his illegal and
fraudulent conduct. i,
The bill in equity is quite lengthy
and makes some ugly charges against
Mr.. Carnegie. After giving in detail
the organization of the original COM
pany, bringing affairs down to 1892, it
continues:
Managed Solely by Frick.
Carnegie owned over SO per cent of
each of the old firms, and he, with
Frick, Phipps and others, owning inter
.ests in each, formed in 1892 what con-
5stituted q new partnership called the
Carnegie Steel company, limited. in
this Carnegie retained over so per cent
and now has 5S1t1a per cent, while Frick
has 9 per cent, Both old firms were
merged into the new. which had can

Heavy Snow Falling.

y OMAHA, Feb. 15.-The heaviest snow
of the winter is falling in Nebraska and
Western Iowa. There is very little
wind and the thermometer is saboye zero,
SO no harm is being done. It has not,
drifted to any extent and railroad trains
are not seriously delayed. The snow is
very hghtsan should a high wind arise,
it would drift badly and cause serion4
Inconvenience.

FRANCE NOT PLEASED.

Objects to the Consummation Of the Mic
aragua Canal Treaty.
New YORK, Feb. 15.-The Herald s
Washington special says:
France may prove an important
stumbling block in the way Of the i'm
mediate construction of the Nicaraguan
canal. All the nations of Europe, with
the exception Of the Paris government
have signifed to Secretary Hay their
entire satisfaction with the provisions Of
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and have in
dicated their purpose to assent to it when
an invitation to do sois extended to them.
But France considering the enormous
amount expended by her citizens in the
construction of the Panama canal, is less
inclined to tender congratulations at the
removal of the bar to the construction of
the Nicaragua canal by the United
States. From a high authoritative
source I received an intimation suff-
GENTLY strong to show that France has
made it plain to this government that
she is not at all satisfied with the way
in which events are developing and
she would prefer that if the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty be ratified, this government
complete the Panama canal instead of
commencing the construction of the
Nicaragua canal
1t is thoroughly appreciated by au-
thorities, who have been carefully look
ing up this feature of the matter, that
France has it in her power to delay the
construction of the canal through Mic
aragua unless the United States, sup
ported by the other powers of Europe,
should begin building the canal without
reference to the treaty existing between
the French republic and Nicaragua,
which was signed on April II, 1859
