LIFE OF THE TRUST.
How 1t Was Formed and Probable
Cause of Trouble.

The flour trust, which has just fallen
to pieces, was the master work of the
mind of one Thomas A. Mcintyre, who
conceived the gigantic scheme of combin-
ing all the big four mills in the country
under one company and thus securing a
monopoly on the -four output.
In connection with this scheme he
opened negotiations with all the flour
milling concerns of Minneapolis, but re-
ceived very little encouragement, and, in
fact, was given the cold shoulder very
frequently He visited Minneapolis q
number Of times, but was invariably
turned down by the local manufacturers
who refused to have anything to do with
his scheme. He realized that unless he
could gain control of the Minneapolis
mills his plan would amount to nothing
and consequently he was persistent IN
his efforts, and left no possible scheme
untried.
When he had been turned down by the
companies In Minneapolis he went to
London and endeavored to buy up the
Pillsbury- WashburE stock there, and get
hold of the Pillsbury-Wa ashburn company,
in England 1t was while he was work
ing in London that he sent his famous
I'VE win cablegram, implying that he
had been successful. The report was
promptly and persistently denied by the
officials of the Pillsbury-Wa Washburn COM
pany, and also by Mr.. Mcintyre when he
returned to this country.
George William Ballou, secretary of the
trust, spent nearly q year in Minneapolis
as the representative of Mr.. Mcintyre,
and finally succeeded in buying the three
mills of the Minneapolis Flour Milling
company, the Excelsior. St Anthony and
Standard mills, but he had NO more sue
cess than Mr.. Mcintyre in his efforts
to get the bigger companies.
The Northwestern Consolidated Milling
company owned five mills in Minneapolis
which it had operated at loss for some
years. The Consolidated Milling COM
pany was organized and leased the mills

and recommending overtures for
peace. The burghers at Mafe-
king are also reported to have
sent word to Kruger that they
would rather defend their own
farms than fight elsewhere.

LONDON, Feb. N.-The Beers are as
sembling an army near Rloemfonteln,
with which to dispute the invasion Of
Lord Roberts. This intelligence comes
from Pretoria, by way of Lourenzo
Marques. The commanders are described
as .'hastening from all quarters Of the
two republics No estimate is made OF
their numbers, but the Beers are with
drawing from most of the places
where they have been in contact with the
British, 5000 having said to come from
around Ladysmith. This correspondent
estimates the Beers have $4,000 to 10000
men In the held. The gathering of this
army to resist Lord Roberts gives
reason for the steady resistance of Gen.
Cronje. He has engaged the corps OF
Lord Roberts now for ten days, and
whether he is relieved or not he has
given time for the dispersed ROer frac-
tions to get together, and to prepare po-
sitions to resist the British advance wien
Cronje is overcome and Lord Roberts
moves forward.
1t is difficult to conceive that the Beers
are strong enough to take the offensive
and to rescue Gen. Cronje from his pre-
carious position. The war office had
nothing after midnight to indicate his
collapse and he may hold out for a few
days. The correspondents seem to have
no exact informa ton respecting his re-
sources. Some say he has plenty of food
but is short Of ammunition. Others as

French lined La T%ouraine and a num-
Der of small craft. The American line
ship sighted Fire island through the
snOw at Ala p. N. Saturday, but she
did not reach her dock until early Sum
day morning. During all this time
she was cropping about in the vicinity
of the Hook. Early in the morning
she lost an anchor. She was near the
Hook and riding with her port an
Choir out. A swell lifted the vessel
and the cable parted near the hawser
hole. Twice while outside she passed
in the Hook, but went back again.
The snow storm let up early In the
morning and she came up to 1uaran-
tine. The only rough weather expe-
rienced by the st. Louis on her way
over was on the 10th, when she en-
countered a moderate gale and slight
head seas. The Phoencia and the
French steamship La Touralne also
had to grope about in the nov storm
and both came up the bay early In the
morning.
1t took considerable time to dock La
Touraine owing to the trouble with
her anchors.
During the height Of the storm John
Mullin, II years of age, of Cincinnati.
picked up an empty bottle and sent it
crashing through the heavy plate
glass windows OF the Postal telegraph
building. He was promptly arrested
and explained that he was starving,
that he was without food or lodging,
and that he had used this means TO
attract attention to his condition.
Trains from the north and east were
from thirty minutes TO an hour and
a half late to-day. but there was no
suspension OF traffic on any road.

UNPROFITABLE COLONIES
The Sad Experiepce Of the German
Empire in That Line.
The CamerOons an Examp1e-The Ma
tive Population Of This Pet Colony
In Rapidly Petering Oh.

BERLIN. February 1S.-Colonial
matters engrossed the attention of the
Reichstag last week. the debate I'M
mistakably showing the improbable
state of the colonies hitherto, even in
the case of the most promising. like
the Cameroons. 1t hKswise showed
the growing appropriations, with sta
tionary or diminishing exports and
imports.
Official reports demonstrate that
famine and sickness in German East
Africa have devastated that colony.
In the district of Tanga, for example,
within the year 1899, the population
has been diminished from 123,308 TO
61,328, owing to famine, leprosy,
smallpox and typhoid fever. The con-
ditions of the whole colony appear ap-
palling. The trade of this colony,
which is the prize of Germany, is in
significant and mostly with British
India, while the cost to Germany is
five-fold the whole trade. The reports
from the other colonies are not much
better. The Cologne Volks Zeitung
says the railroad projects for the col
onles now amount to 200, 600, 900 marks,
while On the other hand German trade
with the British colonies amounts to
500, 600, 900 marks without entailing a
cent of expense.
%ItScannot be denied that the senti-
ment is growing and obtaining in a
large part Of the nation that other
methods than those employed are
needed to make the German colonies
a success. 1t was significant that dur
ing the several days debate in the
Reichstag the government remained or
the defensive. Thus the colonial de-
bate has in no way strengthened the
chances of the naval bill. DR.. Barth,
the Freisinnige leader, however, be-
lieves the bill will pass, though the
situation is muddled, owing to the I'M
certainty as to the Center's position.
