Pelxfn, Feb. 6.-The ministers definite

tan.
As had been arranged at the meeting
of the foreign ministers and Chinese
plenipotentiaries the entire proceedings
were conducted orally, no writings be-
ing presented to the Chinese. A formal
indictment against the twelve officials
whose punishment had been demanded
by the powers was read, however, though

CARNEGIE SELLS.
DispOses of Steel Stock to J.
Pierpont Morgan.

New York. Feb. 6.-The Tribune says:
Negotiations for the sale of Andrew
Carnegie's controlling interest in the
stock Of the Carnegie company were
brought to a successful conclusion ON
Monday. J. Pierpont Morgan and his as
sociates being the purchasers. The terms
OF the transaction can not at this time
be announced, but the transaction is a
colossal one, rivaling the recent change
of control of the Southern Pacific when
that property passed into the hands of
Union Pacific interests. Mr.. Carnegie
held nearly 54 per cent of the $3.50, ,000-
900 stock of the Carnegie company. This
stock has not been listed on any stock
exchange. but 81, 500 was recently paid
for a 81, 600 share in the Carnegie COM
pany.
Assuming that Mr. Carnegie has dis
posed of his holding at par, he viii re-
ceive fully $85 GOO for his interest,
while at the same time he will retain
his So or 54 per cent interest in the $780,
000, 900 bond issue of the Carnegie COM
pany. The object aimed at by Mr.. Nor
gan and the interests allied with him
when treating with Mr.. Carnegie was
the assurance of an enduring peace in
the steel industry of the United States,
and this condition is now believed to
have been obtained.
