Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. l3. Henry Clay
Frick filed bill iu equity to-day n tI,e
Court Of Common Pleas No. Of Alle-
gheny county, against Andrew Carne-
gle and the Carnegie Steel Company,
limited. praying for n decree that TIE
pretended transfer OF his interests In
the company was and is null and void,
and that he ~ still the owner Of III
such Interest and is entitled In every
lawful way to represent and act for
the same.
Willis Mccook, counsel for Mr.. Frick,
makes the following statement:
The business Of the ffm from 1892
to 1900 was enormously profitable,
growing by leaps and jumps from year
to year, until. In 1899, the firm actually
made In effect in low priced contracts,
In net profits, after paying all expenses
Of all kinds, $21 ,000, 600.
In November, 1885, Carnegie esti-
mated the net profits for 1900 at $4O,-
OOO,OCO, and Frick then estimated them
at $42, ,000,0OO.
Carnegie valued the entire property
at over $50. .000, 600 and avowed his
ability, in ordinarily prosperous times,
to, sell the Property on the London mnr-
ket fof ff00,000, 600, of $JOO.OOo, coo.
In May, 1899. Carnegie actually re-
ceived in cash, and still keeps. 81, ,110.-
600, given him as n mere bonus for his
ninety days option to sell his fifty
eight and One-hnlf per cent. interest in
this steel company for $157 ,9J0.O
Frick's six per cent. on that basis,
would be worth SIG, 23S, GOO.
Frick now alleges, right ut the head
of this enormously 'suceessful business,
whereby. at least III part, he made for
Carnegie these enormous profits and
values. that Carnegie, suddenly and
with malevolent intent towards him,
on December 4. 1899. arbitrarily de-
manded of him his resignation as
chairman, and this without any reason
except TO crafty Carnegie's malice.
Frick, in the interest of harmony,
gave his resignation, and subsequent
ly. on the 11th day of January, 1900.
after Carnegie had thus deprived him
of his office. he tCarnegie) demanded
of Frick that he tFrick) should sell to
the firm his interest in 1t at figure
which would amount to less than one
half of what this interest is fairly
worth. Frick refused to sell at that
price. but offered to sell and allow
three men 10 value the interest sold.
Carnegie refused this,a left Frick,
threatening him for not yielding to his
demand =
Mr. McCook also called attention to
the fact that three of the oldest part
ners. Henry Phipps, .If.--lIenry NJ. Cur
ry and Il. T. Il. Loyejoy. and several
smaller holders of intcrests, are in
sympathy with Mr.. Frick and opposed
to Mr.. Carnegie's present attempt.

FIFTY More Insane Soldiers.

San Francisco. Feb. 13.-During the
coming week fifty more insane soldiers
from the Philippines will be taken to
the government hospital at Washing
ton from this port, making $50. sent
there during the past three months.
Two hundred more are scheduled to
arrive soon from the Philippines. The
extraordinary number of. insane SOL
diers is due TO the excessive use of
bino. native Filipino wine, and to
continued outpost duty. These drinks
of bino are sufficient to craze a man
temporarily, and its continued use
causes permanent dementia. The mill
tary authorities in the Philippines have
made strenuous but unsuccessful eff
forts TO suppress its sale.

ally in the vast regions Of Eastern Asia,

the nation best prepared to engage in

ton Of by It's own ships under its own
flag, and with its own postal facilities
and its own commercial establishments

"Third-To bring into existence at the
earliest possible time a great American
fleet OF merchant vessels, built in our
own country with our own material
and by our own labor, as most neces-
sary means of national aid and national
safety in times of international war, or
other disturbances, the probability Of
which is unhappily. not small even now.
"F0urth-To increase the number Of
our citizens who VIII be educated in sea
fafing work, and who will thus have
the skill and be better able to defend
the honor and interests Of our country
on the seas however suddenly the oeca-
sion may happen.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The senate
will vote upon the Porto Ricon bill to-
morrow at 4 O'Clock. and previous tc
that time each session of the senate, be.
ginning at II O'Clock today and to-
morrow, will be devoted wholly to this
bill Speeches will be made by Senators
Bate, Depew, Spooner, Cullom, Mason.
Clay and Culbertson, and probably by
other senators. There will be great
rush of speakers toward the close, and
the time allowed is considered too short
to accommodate all who will desire to
be heard. There is. however, no dispo.
sition to extend the time agreed upon
for taking the vote. All but two of the
committee amendments have been
agreed to by the senate. These two re.
late to delegate in congress and to citi.
zenship, and probably win be voted
upon today.
The friends of the bill count upon it's
passage by handsome majority, but it
is now expected that seven Republican
votes will be cast against it, the seven
comprising Senators Davis, Hoar, Mason.
Nelson, Proctor, Simon and Wellington

THE WRONG BASIS,

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 2.-Mr.
W. L Townes, president of the Porto
Rieon Tobacco company, who already

would keep Porto Rico out of the Amer
can market, and that as the result of it
she woule sell to Europe, China and
Japan, instead of the United States, de-
clared that Is per cent of the Dingley
rates would prohibit Porto Ricon manu-
featured tobacco selling in the United
States. The raw leaf would pay an
average OF 514 cents per pound, and fin
ished goods ~ cents per pound. This
would be discriminating in favor of the
United States manufactures to the ex-
tent of 1925 on each 1000 pounds.
skilled labor" he said, sis higher
here than i'll the United States, and the
passage of the proposed bill would do an
injustice to the Porto Ricon manufact-
urer. 1t would be crime against the
labor and capital of Porto Rico. If con-
gress is sincere in its purpose only to
raise revenue for the island, it cannot
honestly take the Dingley bill as basis.
The differential rate between finished
and raw products will protect the United
States manufacturer, but slaughter the
