RICHEST MAN in THE WORLD.
Morgan Says That Title Belongs
to Carnegie.

Pittsburg. Pa, Feb 2S-The Leader to-
day says:
An official of the National Tube Company
to-day said that the Morgan Syndicate,
which is attempting to amalgamate the
great steel companies into the United States
Steel Corporation. is now bending its ener-
giles to harmonizing the different factions.
Before any further steps can be taken in
the matter 1t will be necessary to make a
ratio for the exchange Of stock that will
not only be satisfactory to both the stock
holders and Morgan. but such as will not
cause the jealousies of share owners of the
other companies. rs a the proportions
already announced. This matter will be ex-
tremely difficult.
Mr.. Carnegie was finally reired from the
steel business last week. He received $22,-
500. 900 in cash and holds a lien on his stock
for 8 per cent gold-bearing bonds to the
value Of nearly 100000. 600. The liens are to
be surrendered when the bonds are ap-
proved or accepted. Arrangements nave
been made and accepted by Mr.. Carnegie
for the giving Of certain securities for the
sum in case the consolidation should ulti-
mately fail. If this should happen he
would be given new bonds of the Carnegie
company to the value Of $50, 900, 900. The
balance will have to be provided in some
other a.
When the settlement was made with
Carnegie Mr.. Morgan told the steel king
that he was the richest man in the world.

tive's Statements Untrue.

ments made by Governor Beckham in in
dorsing the pardon he granted Tuesday to
Ed Alvey. convicted in the Crimlna Court
1T Louisville of setting up a game OF
chance and given two years In the Peni-
tertiary. had an extremely sensational aft
ermath in the Criminal Court today.
Governor Beckham was denounced to the
Court by R. C. Kinkead. who was one of
the attorneys that prosecuted Alvey, and
the executive was the subject % a long
address to the Grand Jay by the Judge
of the court. in the course of which he
severely censured the Governor. and added:
In so far as 1t is intimated that this
Court has Disseminated between one set Of
gamblers and another. 1 desire to state to
you. upon the honor of a man, that that Is
untrue
Judge Barker ordered the entry of the
following order:
Comes r. C. Kinkead. a member of this
bar, and moves the Court for the appoint
ment of a committee of not less than five
members of the bar of Louisville, whose
duty 1t shall be to fully investigate the in
situation of professional misconduct on the

by the Governor of Kentucky in granting
the pardon to Ed Alvey. convicted here on

NO AGREEMENT.
Mine Workers and Coal Operators
Are Still Far Apart.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Springfield. ILL.,. Feb. 2S.-The United Mine
Workers and the coal operators are SEEM
ingly as far apart as ever on the adoption
of a scale Of wages. Only two Of the oper-
ators were present at to-day's meeting IT
the Joint Scale Committee of the State Con-
ference, and the representatives Of the min
ers say that should they remain away to-
morrow they will adjourn and report that
an agreement cannot be reached and rec
ommend that the miners prepare a scale to
be presented to the operators without 60
ing into a joint conference. Should .nis c.
cur and the operators refuse to ratify a
scale there is good prospect of a general
strike. Neither side shows a willingness
to make any concessions at present, and no
progress toward a settlement was made to-
day. The operators still stand out for the
Columbus agreement and the miners for
the scale which was made by their conven-
ton last week.

Nothing definite could be learned concern

Murphy 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

Nek York September 9.-Wholly on &C., count of the encouraging news regarding the condition of the President contained in Sundays and this mornings intelli- gence from Buffalo, the stock market opened active and at an advance which extended to 3 to 3 points in. a number of cases. The buoyant tone of the trading at the opening was furthered by the ex- tremely extensive advances scored in Americans stocks in London where Ct. Paul was quoted points above Satur- days local closing prices. The London market was strongest, 1t Is needless to say under the same influence effective in the local dealings.
 Sentiment was additionally strengthen ed by the assurances made by the clear ing house committee that no depressing stringency would be permitted in the de- velopment of the money market. Expec- tations of early importations of gold might be cited as one factor in the strength which the market showed. Not withstanding the advances the trading was marked by no little feverishness and wide fluctuations were noted after the in- itial dealings. Particularly active feat ures of the market were St. Paul, the At chison issues, Union Pacific, the Fries and the Southern Railway shares. Among the specialties, Amalgamated Copper. Peoples Gas and Colorado Fuel and Iron were all particularly active but under went the same wide movement that ap- peared in the railway list London deal ings in this market were in fairly large volume, but were conducted on both sides of the market

 Cothran G Go.
 New York September s.-The local mar ket was unduly steady today on the pur- chase of several thousand bales by a Wall street firm This was believed to be short covering of previous sales for the purpose of protecting stocks and the oper- ation was not one based upon any belief in the advance in cotton itself but this buying served to absorb about all the available supply and therefore held the local market above New Orleans and above Saturdays level. though Liverpool prices were actually a shade lower for the day.
 In New Orleans December sold down to 7.5e. the lowest price for some time. With the professional element well liquidated and the cotton taken in the 10000 bales short cotton covered there was some un- natural steadiness at midday. Later in the afternoon the market ruled easier. There seemed to be 6 great deal of un- certainty over the effect of the Presidents illness, and while Wall street interests took a. more hopeful view of the outlook this was more In the nature of reac- ton of feeling from the first depression.

By Private Wire ito Sledge Con- Co.
 New York, September 9.-Today's cot ton market was rather tame. News con corning the Presidents condition was quite cheerful, but fears of sudden un- expected turn for the worse served to restrict speculation and there was no de- velopments of material importance in connection with other features aside from tendency toward a quiet tone In the spot department. Owing to the non appearance thus far of that urgent de- mand for September deliveries which has been so eagerly looked for, and in conse. quence of which 1t appears as If the Coun- try Is less determined to insist on full prices. Speculative transactions here were limited but some liquidation by longs established a further decline Clos ing quotations are rtx to eight points lower than Saturday. The course of prices now depends to large extent, on the attitude of the country, and speoufa- tors In the meanwhile are content to wait and observe the policy that the interior will pursue in dispesing of spots. If there Is any eagerness to market the cot ton rapidly, prices will naturally suffer while a substantial show of firmness by spot holders would probaply attract some speculative assistance with beneficial re- suits. Weather in the Eastern Belt has cleared and some of the good feeling in the market has been dispeiled by a fear Of better crop reports from that section

 Lowest of the Day.
CROP REPORTSCONFLICTlNG

New York, September s.-!The market for cotton futures opened quiet and firm with prices 6 to g points higher on a spurt of room covering and light outside support prompted by the marked change for the better in the Presidents condition and by buliish cables from Liverpool. The monthly British trade statement of experts of cotton goods was far better than looked for. Following the call prices eased of quite sharply under profit taking and light selling of a scalp ing character. But before midday brisk Wall street buying and scare of room shorts sent values up to high point of the morning. The crop reports In hand were conflicting and unsatisfactory. In the early afternoon the market eased off again under selling for profits by the scalpins contingent and withdrawal of outside support. During the last hour the market was irregular and slightly more active. with prices off to lowest of the day under pit realizing. Closed quiet and steady with prices net unchanged to 1 point higher.
