THE Big MATCH DEAL.

Consolidation Plan Adopted, Despite
Protest of Minority Stockholders.
London, Eng, July 16. AT special
meeting Of the shareholders OF Bryant
& May, held yesterday afternoon, the
agreement to acquire the business of
the Diamond Match Co. of Liverpool
for 94s0, 600, to be provided by new
issue Of Bryant & May shares, was
adopted. Chairman Bryant of Bryant
q May supported the resolution, on the
ground that the corporation was not in
q position to fight the Diamond Match
TO- Some OF the shareholders in
dignantly protested against the, pro-
posed amalgsmation, saying the
Diamond Match %. never paid any
dividends, and they saw no reason to
buy off the Liverpool company for fear
of future competition.
President Barber OF the Amer lean
Diamond Match 90. spoke in favor of
the amalgamation.
After the meeting President Barber
made the following statement to a
representative Of The Associated Press !:
1T was not our fight, but that of
Bryant 4 May. We had demonstrated
in the North of England that American
machinery and methods were able to
produce twice as many matches at the
same cost as our British competitors
could produce. We, OF the Diamond
Match Co., felt we could make the de-
ferred shares of Bryant & May as good
as they preferred.
"While the British people hold a
majority of the preferred shares, We
have taken up majority of the de.
ferred. We have great confidence in
Mr.. Bryant peisOrally, and, rather
than enter upon hazardous COM
petition, we believed it would be wise
20 combine. This has been practically
accomplished. Great Britain will have
better and cheaper matches than ever.
and the matches will be virtually of
American manufacture. -

ANOTHER NEW MINE.

The Butte Mining and Develop
ment company has secured the Olive
Branch Silver mine, just west of the
Colorado smelter. This mine produc-
ed $4,000 during the past eight
months, and has only been 'gophered,"
or scratched over. The Butte Mining
and Development company is sink
ing the present SO-foot shaft to a
depth of 200 feet, when they will drift
to the lead and commence stopping the
rich ore which goes down from the
SO-foot level. The indications are
that the Olive Branch will pay all tho
expenses of operating the Emma
mine. The Butte Mining and Develop.
ment company has two mines now in
Butte and is reaching out for more. It
has plenty of money in the treasury
and good men bacg of it. There is
only limited amount of stock for
sale If you want to invest in a gen.
uine mining company, which operates
on business principles, buy some of
this stock.

Tests Of Culture.

The chemist Liebig proposed to meas

consumption Of soap, creation which
would put the Inhabitants of north
Holland at the head of all civilized ma

About suggested the sale of steel pens,
the socialist Bebel the frequency of re-

While Ex-President Kruger of Boer-
land is living in all kinds of comfort
in Europe, his wife died the other day
in South Africa, where Dom Paul left
her when he made his escape from
the scene of his former greatness.
There seems to be a growing impress
sion that Kruger is a counterfeit
and ought to be suppressed, and to
Judge from his precipitate retreat with
a goodly supply of gold as soon as the
Beers showed signs of being whipped,
the statement made before the war
began that the patriotism of the heads
of the Boer government could be
measured by the length of their peck
cts seems to have been well founded.
Now Paul is hobnobbing with petty
royalty in Europe and enjoying pink
teas and such functions while he en-
courages the poor ignorant Dutch
farmers in South Africa with stories
of European Intervention and the
bright prospects of re-establishing
their close corporation style of gov
eminent, both of which consumma-
tons are as distant as the time when
the lion shall lie down with the lamb.
Paul might be excused for decamping
with the specie, but to encourage with
foundationless yarns the Beers to
keep on fighting until they lose their
lives and property is beyond defense
and the impression is growing that
Paul should be relieved of his coin
and removed to St. Helena or Bermu
da with the victims of his narrowness
and cupidity.

no friends; then witness his ill luck
off Santiago, then his bad break in
the Morgan incident, and now he is at
it again. Speaking of an interview
credited to Rear Admiral Schley,
Sampson says: Soon after this state
ment appeared in print, Schley came
aboard my ship and told me he had
been incorrectly quoted. The report
er who wrote the interview was a
friend of mine and he told me he had
published Schley's words practically
as they had been spoken" After this
nothing further is necessary to con-
vict Sampson of personal animus
against Schley. Corps du esprit and
the hang-together traditions of naval
officers were ignored, the honor due
to a brother officer and to his state
irent was pushed aside, the opportun.
tyto acceptas true Schley's statement,
and it is altog ether likely it was true,
al d to smooth OVER the unfortunate
c)ntroversy-to get together AMI lie
friendly-was neglected, and the state
lnents of "the reporter, who was Il
friend of mine," were accepted as gos-
pei truth. Sampson is thorough
naval officer, but it is a pity some of
his friends can not induce him to
stop saying things and stick to his
last. Last winter he was reported to
be in very detected state of mind
because of the attacks made on him
all over the country, and the famous
ladies' man Hobson felt called on to
rush into print on his superior's be-
half, but if Hobson or any one else
can keep Sampson out of print, there
will be no necessity for anyone rising
to defend him. 1t is his own unfortu-
nate remarks that are his undoing.
