MANY H0MEsEEKERs GO WEST
First Excursion 10 the Far West
Promises to Be Exceptionally
Large-One Thousand
Yesterday.

Several times in the last few months
there have been reports that the Rock
Island and the Burlington, Cedar Rap
ids & Northern roads would enter ST.
Paul over their own rails before another
year had elapsed. Yesterday Messrs.
John G.. Farmer, assistant general pas
senger agent for the B.. c. r. & N, and
%. Olin Soule, general agent for the pas
senSer department OF the same road
were in the city. and by them the Oft
repeated rumors We're confirmed Mr.
Farmer said that while his informa ton
was not exactly official he had no doubt
that his road would be in st. Paul by
next fail.
Discussing the extension now being
built from Albert Lea to Faribault, which
has already been completed as fas as
Owatonna, Mr.. Farmer said he had lit
tie doubt that it would be extended as
far as this city in a few months. When
this line is finished both the Rock ISL
and and its tributary road, the B., c. r.
d N. viii have Independent access to the
Twin Cities. At present they come in
over the lines of the Minneapolis & St
Louis. There is general impression that
the time IS not far distant before this
road will be absorbed by the Illinois Cen
trail in which event the Rock Island
would be forced to seek some other means
of ingress, and in anticipation of this
contingency. it is taking time by the fore
lock and pushing ahead with the extern
sion from Albert Lea, via Faribault It is
true that this route will not be the short
est line between Chicago and st. Paul
but ii will be no longer than one or two
of the lines already in operation
As to whether the B., c. r. & n will
establish offices in this city before it had
access to it over its own rails, Mr.
Farmer would not say, but lately he has
been here many times, and it would not
surprise railroad men should this step
be taken

BIG STEEL DEAL
Continues to BE the Absorbing
Topic I'm Certain Circles.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 12-The negotiate
Tor the purchase of Andrew Carnegie $
stock in the Carnegie Steel company by
j. Pierpont Morgan, continues to be the
absorbing topic in iron and steel circles
here. Today it was stated by one of the
minority stockholders that the deal is of
much greater significance than has even
been reported, but he refused to specify
what he meant, explaining that he IS
bound to promise not to disclose certain
facts that came to his knowledge through
company channels.
From another source it was asserted
that when the purchase had been made
number of companies would be CONSOLE
dated in a manner similar to the present
organization of the Carnegie company. A
new organization is proposed to be the
Omnibus company, that will own a ma
Jcrity of the stock of the constituent COM
panies and will dictate its policy.
\ report reached Pittsburg today that
the deal Contemplates the consolidation
of the Pittsburg Steamship company, the
Carnegie concern, the great Rockefeller
ere fleet, and the fleet of the American
Steel & Wire company. The new organ
iZation, in that case, will dominate en-
tirely the ore carrying trade of the Great
Lakes.
At the Carnegie building an official said
that an announcement will be made the
latter part of the week.

STEEL OFFICERS MEET.
Prick and SchWab Talk to Each
Other, but That's All.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-H c. Frick and
c. NJ. Schwab, president of the Carnegie
Steel company; breakfasted together to-
day at the Holland house and had a talk
which lasted over two hours.
Mr.. Schwab would not discuss the terms
of the Morgan offer or say anything
about his errand in town; and MIR. Frick
after his breakfast with Mr. Schwab, re-
fused absolutely to be interviewed; when
asked whether he was willing to COM
ment on the report that he was more in
terested now in Pittsburg real estate than
in steel consolidation said:
i am willing to say nothing
The Evening Post says:
1t is generally believed that Mr. Car
negie's former partner VIII be an i'm
portant factor in the consolidation There
are certain Indications that he would be
chosen executive head of the consolidated
companies should he care to assume the
position. But these rumorS are not back
ed up with anything more substantial The
intimacy with Mr. Morgan would seem
to preclude the possibility of his being
left out of the deal, both on account Of
the friendship and for the reason that
Mr.. Frick could make a good fight for
the minority stockholders if he did not
approve the terms of the deal
Andrew M. Moreland, a stakeholder
and a former secretary of the Carnegie
company, who came from Pittsburg at the
same time as Mr.. Frick, said be had
come to buy house furnishings, and did
not know the terms of Mr.. Morgan's offer
He seemed surprised that he had not been
told and said that he expected to look
them up before Wednesday,"

stock of which is owned by the Hunting
tons, Mark Hopkins, the Stanford and
Croker estates. 1t is generally regarded
as the Mexican division of the Southern
Pacific system, but actually the Southern
Pacific management has no control over
the Mexican International company. 1t
is likely that when the Pacific Improve
ment company winds UP It's affairs. which
will be done as soon as practicable, the
railroad and mining properties owned by
this company will be sold Whether or
not the Southern Pacific company will
acquire The Mexican road remains to be
determined.
A belief prevails that after while the
Central Pacific lines will be taken out
of the Southern Pacific system and made
a part of the Union Pacific system. The
Central Pacific, which extends from Og-
den to San Francisco, distance of ,354
miles, is essential to the Union Pacifc's
tr&nscontinental system. and its separa-
ton from the Southern Pacific would still
leave the latter a complete transc9ntl-
mental system Although both of these
great systems are under the control of
the same groui' Of capitalists, it is safe
to say that each corporation will re-
tain distinct traffic interests.

Mother Murdered, Infant Drowning

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Feb. 12.-CharIes

his wife with a butcher knife this fore

screams, she was found with her head
under the kitchen stove, and the floor
was one pool of blood.
There are thirteen children in the fam
lily, several of whom are grown Up. The
alarm was given by two little sons, who
ran into the street, screaming, Father
wants to kill u.s." 1t is believed the
father intended killing some of the chill
dren. When neighbors arrived Voss'
dead body was found in the dining room,
covered with blood. He had stood be-
lore a mirror and with a razor had cut
his throat from ear to ear. No motive
for the tragedy is known The sight

SUIT TO ENJOIN.
One Stakeholder Would Stop Erie's
Purchase of Coal ProDerties

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Additional briefs
were today submitted to Justice Fitz-
gerald, in the action brought by Richard
Pine Coffin, against the Erie Railroad
company to restrain the directors of the
road and It's voting trustees from carry
ing out an arrangement Tor the purchase
or the pennsylvania Coal company, the
Erie x Wyoming Valley Railroad company
and the Delaware Valley & Kingston
Railroad company for $50. 100000. Coffin
asserts he bought 100 shares of the stock
of the road on Jan. 20, 1901
The plaintiff claims that j. P Mrgan &
&C. bought the roads, which are feeders
Of the Erie system, for $27, 400 coo. Mr.
Coffin also asserts that Mr. Morgan had
also secured control of the Erie system
After getting the three roads in question
the plaintiff says that Mr. Morgan resold
them to the Erie railroad for $37, 600, coo
thus clearing SO, 100000. Mr.. Coffin saws
That he has been unsuccessful although
he has made the utmost effort in securing
the afndaVits Of the then officers of the
Philadelphia d Reading railroad as to the
offer made to them to acquire the same
assets now proposed to be sold to the
Erie railroad for many millions less Mr.
Morgan. he says, buys the assets of the
pennsylvania Coal company and then Of
1erS them to himself as truStee Of the
Erie. accepts the offer, and thereby MAKES
a paper profit of over 500 900 and aG-
mitted cash profit of over $4,000, 600, in
curing not the slightest risk because the
same assets that he turned over are
pleSded again as collateral
Mr.. Coffin quoted number of authori-
ties on the proposition that man who
acts as trustee cannot sell TO him self
such property at a profit.
The voting trustees Of tie Erie Raj real
company are: j. P. Morgan. Gen. Louis
Fitzgerald and Charles Tenant, of Lon
don.
In their answer to the suit. the officers
of the Erie road contend that the pur-
chase of the roads in question is neces-
sary 10 the Erie TO save unto itself the
coal transportation in Pennsylvania and
to assure itself a permanent supply of
fuel as required by law. The officers as
sert the road was without financial re-
sources and therefore applied to Mr.. Nor
gan's company, the most important ard
contended that Mr.. Morgan cleared only
&,3O0C0O on the deal which was only fair
and just, being less thar per cent on
the transaction. The stock of the COM
pany, say the defendants, has increa ed
in value since Mr.. Morgan became in
terested in the road.
