MORGAN THE LEADER.

J. P. Morgan, the advocate of coali-
|tion. first started in with his coal COM
|binations three years ago, making the
first movements along the line of con-
trolling the products Of the Ohio and
West Virginia fields. At that time he
|obtained complete control of the mining
property in the Hooking and Shawnee
valleys. In order to give an outlet for
this coal he purchased certain railroad
Rreperty and this started the eombina-
ton mania along the line of railroad
ownership which has come to extraor-
mary lengths.
The proceedings in the present com
ination are similar to those displayed
In the formation of the steel trust. One
year ago all of the coal properties in the
|Pittsburg district which ship coal TO the
Gakes were collected into one organiza-
tiontion, known as the Pittsburg Coal
Company About that time the same
interests which ship coal from that ter
ritory down the river formed what has
since been known as the Monongahela
Goal Company, each being a combina-
ton of smaller companies. making an
Organization of considerable impor-
lance. The desire to control other coal
territory in the same fashion that the
larger companies might be easier han>

THE KIDNAPPING EPIDEMIC.
The Abduction OF Bass Frazier student
In the Neurological School
mt Atlanta, Ga,

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. BASS Frazer,
who according to letter received by
his father, at Union Springs, Ala, was
kidnapped in this city while attending
the Technological school, was last
seen here Saturday, January 5. Two
of his brothers arrived here last night
from Union Springs, Ala, and gave
out the following letter as being re-
ceived from the supposed kidnapers.
The letter was mailed in Memphis,
Tenn, January 6, and bore a special
delivery stamp:
Dear Sir-As kidnapping is all the
rage nowadays, we have stolen your
son. We intended to steal him before
Christmas, but could not get chance.
We do not know your financial condi-
ton, as your son refuses to tell us,
and we only found SIS on his
person. He is boy way above the
average, and we need MIN in our busi-
ness, so we intend to keep him; but
YOU might send letter to jim Gloer,
general delivery, Kansas City, as we
will be in that city by the time this
reaches you, stating how much you
will give for his return, and if the
amount meets with my APPROVAL, will
write you more about it. Do not noti-
fly any official authority, as it won't
do any good and would ruin all your
chances of getting him. We will al
low him to sign his name to prove to
you we are not joking. We have him
in a stupefed condition and are car
ing for him as u sick person and
younger brother"
The boys signature was attached
to the letter. Bass Frazer was
member of the first year class. His
brothers say their father is unable to
pay a ransom. The mother of the
boy is prostrated with grief.

FRENCH STEAMER DOOMED.
Soul on BOnrd-Futile Efforts

Marseilles, Jan. S.-A terrible dis

sic, from Oran, which stranded yester-
day on the coast near the village Of
Faraman, during violent storm, with
so passengers and crew Of 40 on
board.
She was heeled to the starboard
and the waves are sweeping over her.
Desperate attempts to rescue her
company by life boats and steam
tugs were made yesterday and have
been repeated to-day, but thus far the
rough seas have prevented every ef-
fort to approach her.
A great crowd Is assembled along
the shores, cxcitcdly watching the en-.

The Legisiaturs.

Little Rock, January 9.-Fully
week before the time for the meeting
of the thirty-third general assembly,
the hotel Hobbies presented scene OF
activity upon the part of candidates
for the various positions in that body.
The speakership contest promises to
be quite interesting and it is hard
proposition to forecast which OF the
numerous candidates will land the
Nonor. Kirby, of Miller, and Hon.
r j. Wilson seem to have the lead
for the presidency Of the senate, but,
as in the house contest. no one ven
lures a prediction of the winner. 1t
can he stated almost positively that
the lawmakers and unmakers will
hardly get down to business before
the middle of next week. AS to the
measures to be urged, each member
has his pet" and II all could get
their ideas embodied into law it would
be necessary to increase the number
of supreme court judges two-fold In
order to have the same passed upon
by that tribunal, for the benefit Of the
next generation. One matter that is
causing some anxiety to certain par
ties at least is wheather or not the
state railroad commission will be
abolished. 1t is hinted tnat strong
effort will be made to dispense with
the commission, those opposed to its
existence contending that its useful
ness does not warrant the expendi
ture of money to maintain the same
On the other hanu, the commission
and its friends contend that its bien
NAL report, now in 'he hands of the
printer, will show that 1t has saved
money for the shipper, assisted the
roads as a whole by maintaining uni
form rates, and encouraged the es
tablishing of manufactures within
the state by guaranteeing to capital
lists mileage rate from all shipping
points. Another matter of great i'm
portance is that Of an appropriation
for continuing work on the new
state capitol. While some opposition
is expected to an appropriation 1t is
generally believed that provision will
be made for continuing the work. A
strenuous effort is to be made for the
establishment of a reform school fol
juvenile offenders, and it is probable
such an act will be passed, both Gov
Jones and Gov. Davis being strongly
in its favor.

PEACE COMMITTEE TALKS.
An ApcaI to Burghers to Save Their
Homes from Utter nd 1nevita-
BILE Destruction.

Cape Town, Jan. 9.-The central
peace committee at Kroonstadt has is
sued a circular, in the course of which
it says:
"The time has arrived for the in.
habitants of Orange River colony to
make an effort to save the country
from further destruction. The country
is literally a vast wilderness. The
farmers, ruined and facing starvation,
are obliged to go to the towns for
protection, and huge refugee camps
have been formed by the British for
them. This is caused by an obstinate
minority, who will not bow to the
inevitable"
The circular points out that the
British will never restore independ-
ence to the republics and urges upon
the burghers the duty of surrender
ing and accepting the terms offered.
The recent Afrikander congress at
Worcester is criticised in the circular
as misleading the Beers and giving
false impressions"
In conclusion the committee says:
"The British government is willing
to settle matters in way not humili-
ating to us. We appeal to you to ap-
point another congress and to nomi-
nate men of influence out of your list
to visit Mr.. Steyn and Gen. De Wet
and to try to pursuade them to accept
the terms Great Britain offers.
"These two men are the only OBJ
stacles to peace. We ask you to be-
leve us when we say that Mr.. Kruger
and the late Transvaal government
are willing and would already have
accepted the British terms, but Mr.
Steyn has refused to have anything
TO do with surrender. He has con-
tinued the war and has encouraged
.he burghers with hope that he
would get European assistance. To-
day he is cut off from all commune
cation with the outside world. You
know and we know how unfounded
that hope is. 1t is your duty to assist
us to make him understand this. We
appeal to you to help us to end the
unhappy state of affairs which is
plunging everybody into poverty and
despair.
ave appeal to you because we know
you are able to assist us in the right
manner
The committee includes w. +. De
Wet, late assistant chief commapdant
three members of the yolksraad and
two justices of the peace.

They Don't Propose to Give Away
Any OF the Secrets of sham

London, Jan. 0.-ln regard to the
criticism of the secrecy with which
the building of the Shamrock II. is
surrounded, compared with the pub
licity in the case Of the construction
of the defending yacht, Sir Thomas
Upton says;
II do not believe the IIerrsholfs are
letting out any details. The secrecy
we are observing is nothing to what
the llcrreshoifs exercised with their
last boat, Why, then even launched
IL at night. Moreover, do you sup
pose would challenge ngain unless

important improvement? Why should
let the world know the nature OF
that improvement? Watson thinks
secrecy is necessary, and ! perfectly
agree with him."
