CARNEGIE AND PHIPPS,
mother Break Between Kings of
the Steel Industry,

Another Break Between Kings Of
the Steel Industry.
Pittsburg, Feb. 1.-THE Dispatch
Gays: One Of the sensational develop
ments Of the expected suit of H. c.
Prick against the Carnegie Steel COM
pany is the report that Henry Phipps,
Jr., next to the largest stakeholder In
the company, has broken the business
relations with Mr.. Carnegie, which
have been exceptionally close during
the latter's business life. The two
steel kings have been associates since
hoyhood and their interests have been
identical, not only in business way,
but in their philanthropic work and
social standing. The announcement of
the breach will therefore be surprise
in the steel world. Mr.. Phipps owns II
per cent Of the capital stock Of the
company, which is more than the hold
ings of any other one stakeholder ex-
cept Mr.. Carnegie.
1t Is said that Mr.. Phipps alone
stands as the only partner whose sig
nature Is not attached to the famous
ironclad agreement. The reason for
this is not known to the public, but
the important omission, 1t is said, will
be seized upon by Mr.. Frick as one
or the strongest arguments in his eff
forts to have the celebrated document
broken, his contention being that the
agreement cannot be binding when one
Of the largest stockholding partners
name is not attached,

M0LINEUX S GREAT NERVE.
In the Shadow Of Death He Sleeps as
Calmly as a Child.

In the Shadow of Death He SIeeps ns
Calmly as a Child.
New York, Feb. 12.-Roland B. Moli-
neux, convicted of the murder of Mrs.
Katherine j.. Adams, was said by War;
den Hagan to have slept as calmly on
Saturday night as he did on any other
night since his Incarceration in the
Tombs, beginning nearly a year ago.
The verdict Of the jury, pronounced
late Saturday night, the warden said,
did not seem to have In the least af-
fected Molineux, SO far as his outward
appearance was concerned. The war;
den said that Molineux's demanor is
in striking contrast with that of other
prisoners who had been in his charge
and who had within the last three
years been convicted of murder in the
first degree.
HE slept like a child" was the way
the warden put it, referring to Moli-
neux after his return to his cell from
the court room on Saturday night.
Yesterday he arose at the usual hour.
took exercise for one hour in the prison
yard and the usual breakfast supplied
by the prison caterer, and read with
apparent composure the morning news
papers, after which he attended the
usual Sunday services.
The condemned man had but one
visitor yesterday. The caller was his
grief stricken and venerable father,
who has not yet given up hope and
expects that the higher courts will free
his son,

TERRITORY OF HAWAII
afH For Its Government Presented
in the National House.

-AA- VS. Ae~ 1NPe0en1GU
in the National House.
Washington, Feb. 12.-Representa-
tive W. s. Knox, of Massachusetts,,
chairman Of the house committee on
territories, today submitted his report
spon the bill for the creation of the
territorial form Of government in Ha-
wall. Many Americans have bought
government land since annexation, on
which they have built residences and
planted crops, but their land titles are
now IN dispute and cannot be settled
until the passage of this bill. Mean
while no Americans can settle in Ha-
wall on homestead or land to be
bought from the government, and
very desirable class of citizens is there
by shut out Of this new territory.
Since the adoption of the resolution
OF annexation large numbers of Jap
anese contract laborers have been
brought into the islands. The exact
number is uncertain. but at least II 900
and probably more than 5000, and de-
lay In extending the laws of the United
States'to the islands will be taken ad-
vantage OF, to increase their number.
The form Of government proposed by
the bill for Hawaii is territorial in
form similar to that the late territories
OF the United States. The legislature
Is to consist of q senate and house of
representatives, elected by the people.
The territory is to be represented by
a delegate to congress. Chairman
Knox says the Hawaiian people meet
the requirements for the government
proposed.

SENATOR QUAY's APPOINTMENT.
His Friends Hope to Get . Vote On
It This Week.

His Friends Hope to Get = Vote On
It This Week.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE first four
DAYS OF the week will be given up to
the currency bill IN the senate, and
after that measure is disposed of there
Will be contest for precedence in the
interest OF several measures, including
the resolution for the seating of Sem
ator Quay upon the appointment of
the governor Of Pennsylvania. The
friends OF Senator Quay say they fully
expect to be able to get consideration
OF the resolution in his behalf immedi-
ately after the financial bill is disposed
OF, but there is unquestionably a dis
position on the part of some of the
Republican senator's to crowd the mat
ter over and take up either the Porto
Rican or the Hawaiian bill. The cur
rency bill will be voted on next Thurs
day. The Democrats count upon
getting all the Democratic, Populistic
and Silver Republican votes, except
those of Senators Caffery and Lindsay,
Gold Democrats, for their free coinage
amendment, but they will fall far short
OF the necessary number. No one
doubts the passage of the bill by a
large majority on the final vote.
The time of the house will be COM
pletely occupied this week. Today,
under the rules, is devoted to District
OF Columbia business. Tomorrow the
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill will be taken up. u
Is expected to consume tomorrow and
Wednesday, and on Thursday the
house Will enter upon a weeks deus
sion of the Porto Rican tariff bill.
1t is probable that night sessions will
be held,

dist Episcopal church. Lewis Stout
and Ollie Perch persisted in talking
out loud. 1t is alleged that they were
drunk. Constable W. f. Mckinley,
Preacher N. Vice, John Howell and
David Myers, members of the congre-
cation attempted to arrest Stout and
Perch, who resisted desperately. The
preacher was twice knocked down, but
finally subdued Stout, while the other
men took charge Of Perch, who, how
ever, escaped later. The preacher and

HARRASSBD BY REBELS,
Filipinos Maintain q Constant Fire
on American 0utposts. =
THEY SHOOT BURNING ARROWS,

A Result Much OF the Town OF
Albay Has been Burned and Most
of tho Large Towns Are FRA cticaI-
ly Deserted.
Manila, Feb. 12.-Of late the insur-
gents OF Albay province, Luzon, have
adopted harrassing tactics against the
towns which the Americans have gar
risoned. They camp in the hills and
maintain a constant fire upon the
American outposts. When the troops
sally against them they scatter, re-
turning when the Americans retire.
They shoot burning arrows, and
have thus burned large part of the
town OF Albay. Indeed, most of the
large towns In that province are prac-
tically deserted, except by the gar
risons. Scarcely any of the inhabi-
tants return to their homes. They are
camping in the interior, and 1t is sup
posed armed insurgents prevent them
going back. It is reported that there
is much suffering among them, owing
to lack of food. AS result of these
conditions the hemp business in that
section is seriously hindered, and ships
going for cargoes are compelled to
take gangs of coolies to do their load
ing Hemp held in the interior Is
quite inaccessible.
Colonel Bell will take two regiments
and battery through the provinces
OF North Camarines and South Camar-
ines, going there on transports Many
insurgents retreated to that part of the
island from Cavite and Batangas PROV
inces.
Another expedition will soon start
to garrison towns along the north
coast Of the Island of Mindanao.
Guerrilla warfare continues south of
Manila. Two attempts have been
made to ambush the Americans. Colo
mel Schwan, while returning to Manila
with his STAFF and an escort of a
hundred cavalry from Batangas, was
attacked by, the insurgents. The lat
ter were dispersed, but the Americans
had five men wounded. Lieutenant
Colonel Beacon, with six companies
OF the Forty-second infantry, had a
two hours fight with General Pho del
Pillars command, which attempted to
ambush the Americans along the trail
through Morong province, near the
lake. Here also the insurgents were
but the Americans had sew
eral wounded, among them a captain.
General Bell is operating southwark
through Zambales province with
small force.
Another expedition is proceeding
from Subig.
1t is reported that the insurgent
General Alexandra has recovered from
his wound and has assembled a large
force in that district.
The plague continues. Eight cases
were reported last week among the ma
lives and Chinese. There is no excite
nent, however, and business and social
life are undisturbed.
Smallpox is prevalent among the ma
Ives along the railroad, and in the
owns on the northern coast. Two Of
icers Of the Thirty-sixth volunteer in
'antry have died of the disease and
another officer and several soldiers
lave been stricken.

at the Capitol.


Frankfort, KY. Feb. 12-All day

ed in the capitol square. They will do
police work around the capitol square
and guard the public building.
Republican Governor Taylor remain
ed quietly in the executive mansion.
and didsnot visit his office. His atju-
tant general, Collier, said the soldiers
would interfere in no way with the
actions of the members of the legisla-
ture, and that access to the legisla-
tive halls would be as free and I'M
restrained as it was before Taylor is
sued the proclamation declaring
Frankfort in state of insurrection.
The members of the Republican leg
1slature were expected to arrive from
London last evening, but they spent
the day In an excursion to Cumber-
land Gap, and did not for the most
part arrive until 10 o'clock this morn
ing. About six of the Republicans
came in on the night train from Lon
don. No intimation has been received
here as to whether or not the Demo-
cratic members of the legislature
would adjourn their session at Louis
vile and come to Frankfort to take
part In the general session. 1t is be-
lleVed here, however, that they will do
SO, probably by the last of the week.

LABOR FAMINE IN CUBA. .

Many Estates May He Compelled to
Stop Sugar Grinding.
Havana, Feb. ia prominent Ha-
vana lawyer, who numbers among his
clients many sugar planters, says that
great scarcity of labor exists in the
provinces and that many estates will
probably be forced to stop grinding. In
the province of Pinar del Rio $3.50 per
day is paid for ordinary manual labor
III the tobacco fields, and this industry
cannot stand the expense. He sug-
gests that the means of communica-
ton between the labor centers be
cheapened and that immigration be
unrestricted, although this would be
too late for the present crop.
As remedy for the evil The Dia,
Of Caribarien, suggests compulsory
labor. 1t declares that there are hun
dreds Of loafers in the country towns,
gambling and otherwise wasting their
time, and that It is they who are max
ing the greatest outcry against the
Spaniards.

THE DEMOCRATS IN LOUISVILLE.

Although Most OF tho Soldiers Have
Left Frankfort 1t Il Not Thought
the Democrats Will Go There Until
All Troops Are withdrawn.
Louisville, Feb. 12--It is reported
here that the Republicans will thu,
week seek to bring the contest for the
offices of governor and lieutenant gov
ernor before the federal court. For
mer Governor Bradley, chief counsel
for the Republicans in their applica-
tion before Judge Taft, to restrain the
state election commissioners from pro-
ceeding with the contests for the minor
offices, was in town yesterday after
noon In consultation with leading Re-
publican lawyers. The case involving
the minor Offices comes up today at
Cincinnati, and 1t is believed the other
case will also be taken before Judge
Taft, although it is not likely that any
thing will be done until after tomor-
row.
On that day the application of the
democrats for an Injunction to restrain
Republican Governor Taylor from in
terfering with the legislature will come
up in the circuit court at Frankfort,
The case has been continued from time
to time by the Democrats, pending the
peace negotiations. 1t is expected q
temporary injunction will be granted.
The case will then be taken to the
court of appeals, the state court of last
resort. Upon whether or not an ap-
peal to the federal court will lie de-
ponds the Republican hope of relief
from that quarter.

being given the operators to meet the
miners in joint conference, the men
will continue at work. Much dssatis-
faction, however, exists because of the
failure of the Central Pennsylvania
