THE NEW STEEL CORPORATION
It's Amended Charter-Capital of Eleyen
Hundred Million Dollars.

Trenton, N. j., Ajril 1.-The United
States Steel Corporation this afternoon
filed with the secretary of state artic-
les amending it's charter and increasing
it's capital stock to 81, 100, 900. 900. The
states fee for the filing of the papers
was 1920, 600. The original articles filed
some time ago were only amended in
one particular. This amendment was
made for the urpOS of taking advant-
age of an act passed by the recent leg
islature. Originally the corporation
could not mortgage or pledge it's real
property or any of the stock of any 9TH
er company except by the affirmative
vote of the owners of two-thirds of ~
capital stock. Under the amended
charter it is necessary to have only
the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the
stock represented in person or by proxy
at any meeting of the corporation. The
reason for the change is the fee that
the stock will become so scattered that
it would be impossible to get two
thirds of the entire stock represented
at a meeting.
New York, April lit was announc-
ed today that practically all the
stockholders in the constituent steel
companies nave turned over their
holdings to the United States Steel
Corporation, the of time haV-
ing expired Saturday. A member OF
the firm of j. p. Morgan & Co., said
this afternoon hat on account of the
absence of a few scattered stockhold-
ers, the exchanges would not represent
all the outstanding stock, but pledges
from some of these insured a practical
ly unanimous acceptance of the terms
offered by the surviving corporation.

In the work of Tod Sloan at the traps.
The little jockey was not very fortu-
nate, as he missed three in the first
event of eight birds, and in the second
event missed the same number out of
eleven which he shot at. AS he vas
on the thirty-yard mark and will only
have TO stand on the twenty-seven-
yard mark in the big handicap, he prob
ably will max a better showing in the
principal contest.

of these thirty-one killed straight and
the money was divided among them
each receiving $21.90.

the Russian government, being seri-

in not signing the Manchurian agree
ment, largely became of the protest
made by the several powers, has on
veyed a distinct and unmistakable
indication to hin that If this course
is persisted in there may be an inter
ruption of diplomatic relations between
Russia and China ard a termination OF
the present intercourse between them.
This is little short of an ultimatum
that China must sign or take the con-
sequences of a termination of her
friendly relations with Russia.
To what extent the United Stat
will take cogniZance of the Russian
disposition to enforce the signing of the
agreement has not yet been made ap-
parent. 1t appears to be the policy of
the Chinese authorities to consider this
as a subject which concerns the powers
quite as much as il does China. The
matter has become further complicated
by reports reaching Washington that
the Chinese authorities themselves are
divided on the course to be pursued.

arranging the itinerary of the presi-
dents trip to the Pacific coast is pro-
ceeding slowly at the White house, and
almost everything on the programme
up to the present time is provisional
and subject to change. The trip is to
be in no sense a experimenting tour,

various places at which he will stop.
Some set speeches at several places
already are arranged for, but the pres
ident will make no ear platform
speeches to the multitudes. Another
feature of the trip will be the substi-
tuition of a drive through a city for a
public reception.
The trip will be SO arranged that
there will be no travelling on Sunday.

THE STU ALTON MORE CUTE
Minister Loomis Ordered Home To EX-
plain Venezuelan Affairs

Washington, March S0,-The state
department has recalled Minister Frank
LoOmis from Caracas to Washington
for purposes of consultation. The is
sues between the government of the
United States and the government of
Venezuela have become more acute
lately, and it is desired that h de-
partment may be able to acquaint it
self thoroughly with the situation in
Venezuela through more direct means
than the scanty cable communications
that are being exchanged. So far as
can be learned the last protest of our
government to the Venezuelan govern
ment respecting h treatment of Con-
sui BaiZ has not met with a SatiSfac-
tory pom and the asphalt contro-
VerSy is still open. 1t is not believed
that formal official complaint has been
made against Mr.. LOOMS, save in the
case of the brief of one of the attorneys
in the asphalt controversy, but however
that may be. the minister has the full
approval of the government for every
thing he has done, according TO the
present information and there is nc
reason to believe that he will not re-
turn to Venezuela after his conference
with the secretary of state.
