ference between the two gentlemen
was signed by both of them.
The Carnegie Steel Company, limited,

ize the following statement:
The partners of the Carnegie Steel
Company, limited, and the
ers of the H. c. Flick Company have
agreed upon a plan of reorganization,
vesting the ownership and control Of
said companies in one to be
Incorporated under the laws of New

"All the various interests, including
the H. c. Frick Coke Company, will
remain as now, under Pennsylvania
charters, the Steel Company taking a
Pennsylvania corporate charter instead

THE DRY GOODS MARKET.

New York, March 22.-The attend
ance of buyers today was small and
spot business slow at first hands, with
an average demand otherwise. Local
jobbing trade vas quiet. There was
no change in prices at first hands, but
the tone of the market for brown cot
ton goods for forward delivery was
barely as steady as before. In print
cloth yarn goods some outsiders are
open for business under Fall River
quotations. Bleached cottonS are I'M
changed in price, with average de-
mand. Coarse colored cottonS are
strong. Prints and ginghams are un-
changed. Cotton Innings are firm. Ho-
iery and underwear are quiet, but the
advance lin knitting yarns gives
strength to the market.

GOLD DREDGING CONCESSIONS.
Granted by Secretary Root-He Says
They are Lawful.

Washington, March 22.-Secretary
Root made a brief statement to the
press at the war department today in
regard to the action of the department
in granting license. to proSpectors to
dredge the water front of Cape Nome,
Alaska. in their search for gold.
He admitted that two concessions
to dredge sand had been issued and
twenty other applications are pending.
He says they will all be granted. He
says no exclusive privileges nave
been granted and there has been no
discrimination. His authority was
based upon the statutes giving the war
department jurisdiction I'VE the nava-
gable waters of the United States. 1t
was shown. he says, that the purposed
dredging of sand would not interfere
with navigation or the Iiparan rights of
of adjacent territory. The par
ticuiar character of the sand to be
dredged did not enter into the conSid-
Grafton of the case at all.
The secretary said further that any
n was privileged to dig for gold in
the open sea and the only question
considered by the wal department was
whether such operations conducted
within the three mile limit were an in
reference with navigation or an in
frinsement on the rights of others.
When these conditions were complied
with the department was prepared to
grant permission to any one to dig in
the a at Cape Nome or elsewhere
at any point lying within three miles
of low water mark.
Secretary Root made it clear that the
privileges in question were free to all
responsible persons. He will shortly
submit his reply to the resolution of
adopted by the senate.

THE DELAGOA BAY AWARD.
Transvaal Offers to Loan Portugal the
Money to Pay it.

New York, March 22.-George w.
VanSyckle, president of the American
council of the South African repub-
lies and advocate in America for the
Transvaal, today sent the following
letter to the Portuguese minister at
Washington:
fer to YOU. as | do, to lend the govern
ment of Portugal the sum necessary
to pay the award known as the Della
goa Bay award which has just been
made by the Geneva arbitration trib-
unal, say $4,000 900, fair and satisfac-
tory terms to be arranged"
The offer is regarded as a move on
the part of the Beers to offset any offer
which England may make to Portugal,
thus embarrassing the Lisbon govern
ment and thereby at the same time
closing the rear door, to the Trans
vaal and Orange Free State.

Yesterday afternoon the Beers press

Maxim, killing one white man and one
native. They placed the Maxim n
a 12h-pounder on a hill on the east

FAIR NOTES.
The Dates Set for Tuesday, We'd
nesday and Thursday,
Now 9, Z, andS 8.

One Of the sights Of the Fair will be
the trottipg, pacing and running races,
filed with Mississippi horses exclu-
sively.
There is not a citizen OF Grenada
county who cannot help the Fair, and
there is not a citizen, however humble
he may feel himself to be, whose help
and suggestions will not be gladly and
cordially received.
Our people are in fine condition to
have a good Fair, for, while crops have
failed 10 some respects, enough is left
to fill departments and make grand dis
plays at the Fair.
The ladies department at the Fair
will be much larger and more Interest,"
ing than ever. Many of our ladies
have made special preparations and we
have learned of many exhibits of iel-
lies, preserves, pickles, needle work
and exquisite art work with the needle.
This department will be of great inter-
est.
We are informed that our young
friend, Robert Mclean, who is a great
~fancier of fine poultry, will make a
large display AT the Fair, a striking
feature of which will be an incubator
Matching out dozens Of young chickens
in full view of the spectators.
One of the largest poultry breeders
in the South has written that he will
make Il full display of all the noted
strains at our Fair. There are few
things more interesting than u dis.
play OF many different varieties o.
fowls.
There are more fine cattle In Gre
NADIA and adjoining counties than v
before. We have herds OF registered
and pure-bred Aberdeen Angus, Dur
ham, Jersey and other beef and mill
strains. At the Fair there will bt
shown fine specimens of Polled Angus
Sh"rthoru Durhams, Herefords, aud
Red Polled cattle In the beef strain,
and the old standard Jerseys for mild
and butter.
