WILL INV ES1'iHATE,
CONSUL MACRUM'S STORY NOW
BELIEVED.
Congressman Wheeler Says His Mail
Was Opened BY English Officials
and Closed BY Stickers Bearing
British Coat Of Arms.

Secretary Of State Hay will be Civ.
en- an opportunity to make an official
statement in reply to the charges con-
tained in the statement given out by
former Consul Macrum.
Without a dissenting voice the
House of Representatives has passed
the resolution introduced by Repre-
sentative Wheeler, of Kentucky, call
ing on the Secretary for information,
and Mr. Hay will give the State De.
partment side Of the controversy
without delay.
Mr.. Macrum has arrived in Wash
ington. He called on Mr.. Wheeler and
thanked him for having introduced
the resolution.
After Mr.. Macrum had left Mr..
Wheeler said that the former Consul
had told him his whole story in con.
fidencs, and had shown him the en-
velopes which he said had been
opened by the British censor, and
closed again with stickers bearing the
coat Of arms of Great Britain and the
initials "V. R."
Mr.. Wheeler said he was convinced
that the British government had been
guilty of espionage, and that Secre-
tary Hay had made a mistake in not
hearing what Macrum had had to say.
He said that the envelopes Mr.. Mac
rum showed him bore the official seal
of the State Department, and they
could not have been inadvertently
opened by the censor.

THE FRlcK SUIT.
A Great Battle and Possibly a Public
Benefit.

Much interest is taken by naval
officials in the controversy between H.
c. Frick and Andrew Carnegie, and
also in the reported combination of
the armor manufacturers of the world
to keep up the price of armor
The effect OF the suit instituted by
Mr.. Frick upon the armor question,
the authorities say, may be the estab.
lishment OF rival plants. which will
lower the price of arm0r, and which,
consequently, would make ineffective
any world comb nation such as is re-
ported to be forming or have organ
lied.
The sum of money involved in the
proposed suit is said to run up to a
gigantic figure. The estimated total
Of the Carnegie Steel ComPany's daily
consumption of coke Is 900 cars. The
Frick Company produces about 1900
cars of coke per day, so that three.
fifths of the whole goes to the steel
concern at the 10 wprice of $1.35 per
ton. In other words, the Carnegie Steel
Company, it is alleged, saves from
$4,000 to S1S. 900 per day. With the
cost of production, or freight rates
and other items of expense In the
manufacture or coke constantly going
up, the minority stockholders of the
coke company say that If the contract
is allowed to run their profits will
eventually be cut to almost nothing.
The suit, then, will ask the Court to
annul the agreement altogether and
relieve them from situation that has
been forced upon them by the major
ity holdings.
The thirty or more defendants in
the suit of Henry G. Frick against the
Carnegie Steel Company will make no
special effort to avoid Court service.
The delay in serving the papers comes
from a desire to await the filing of
the suit of Mr.. Frick ad other stock
holders against the Frick Coke Com,
pany.
Andrew Carnegie's answer to Mr..
Fricks bill in equity will be made in
the shape of demurrer. The charge
will be denied and the Court asked to
dismiss the proceedings. Then will
come the real fight of the legal giants
engaged In the case.

and Tin Prices.

tion of one of the largest steel and

izea with capital of $52,000,0 900.
Among those counted on to carry
out the project are G. w. Guthrie, Of
the American Steel Hoop Company;
L. G. Reed, President of the American
Tin Plate Company, and w. e. Refs,

pany

new organization. The latter are the

To Fight the Paper Trust.

Editors of daily newspapers in Illi-
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Michigan attended the meeting of the
Inland Daily Press Association Feb.
20 at Chicago, and agreed to fight the
paper trust. No official action was
taken, but the editors agreed among
themselves to fighG the movement to
induce Congress to remove the tariff
on Canadian pulp wood, which, they
say, is a scheme of the paper trust to
get control of the Canadian supply.
Paper manufacturers in the trust have
complained of a serious shortage in
the pulp wood supply and have ac-
cordingly raised prices on paper. This
assertion of a shortage is denounced
as false by the editors, who have col
lected figures to PROVE there are bill
lions of feet of hemlock, poplar,
spruce and other Tulp wood yet to be
had in this country.

Hints About Soup.

In making soups Of all kinds, the
slow, even. prolonged simmering. not
boiling, must be observed as allessen.
tial to the good result The French
say that the soup pot should only
smile; that is, it should never show
any bubbles on the surface, but
should cook slowly, at an even heat
just below the boiling point. 1t is be.
cause our cooks and housewives can
not, or rather will not understand
this rule, that the soup of the aver
age American household is mere
pretender to the name. 1t is not
enough as certain blunderers seem to
fancy, to keep the constituents of the
broth hot for several hours; 1t must
cook necessarily, never stopping for
a moments time Furthermore, all the
water needed for the soup should be
put into it at the beginning; serious
loss of flavor is risked if more water
has to be added during the process
of cooking.

HINTS OF FOUL PLAY.
Congressman Chickering's Family
Scout Idea of Suicide,

SCOUT I0ea OF SUICIDE.
Mrs. Charles A. Chickering, widow
of Congressman Chickering, who was
found dead on the sidewalk of the
Grand Union Hotel, New York, the
other daay, has issued a statement
signed by herself, her husbands ply
sician and others. The statement
says:
"The family, his friends and every
physician who has treated Mr.. Chick
ering, including his home doctor also
the specialist, DR.. Hammond of New
York, all have been of one mind,
namely, that Mr.. Chickering did not
show any trace or action of insanity
and has not during his illness. Now,
this fact together with what all his
friends know of his natural traits, dis.
prove any theory that Mr.. Chickering
committed suicide, and because some
New York policemen find mans body
under an open window it is not evi-
dence of suicide. AS his illness was
nervousness in the extreme, it is pos
sible that he had fright from noise
or even an intruder in his room, as he
was careless In locking his doors, and
was always careless in his carrying
and handling of money. His family
and friends are in possession Of am
pie proof that Mr.. Chickering did not
commit suicide, but was the victim of
delusion through fright and possible
pain, when alone and away from his
usual surroundings of peace, and was
victim of foul play. The latter the
ory has some strong evidence, even if
his watch and some valuables were
not missing We think Mr. Ghickar.
ing did not commit suicide.
"He was either knocked or thrown
from the room or frightened into leav-
ing it by the window, by the fire es.
cape. or may have believed he was on
the ground floor easy Of exit"
Captain McClusky, Of the New York
City Detective Bureau, ridicules the
idea of foul play. He says that no re.
port Of any suspicious circumstances
were made tn him in regard to the
death. The hutel people declare that
Mr.. Chickering's room showed no sign
of disturbance.
