TIN A TRUST.

The Moore brothers. w. H. and ]. H..
ID. q. Reid, president of the American Tin
Plate Company, and w. b. Leeds, a di-
rector in all the Moore properties. expect
to clean up SIS, 900, 600 in commissions for
the promotion of the new SO,0OO,OO0 tin can
trust. The combination is already an ac-
complished fact, although the formal
launching remains to be done.
The four gentlemen named will practical
ly m%onopolize the underwriting, and the
profits incident to the f~1otation of the new
est industrial will be KEEP in the close cor
poration. Not only will the little group of
millionaires enumerated realize the huge
fiotation fee mentioned, but they will re-
tain control of the company and run il as
they have the several properties recently
taken into the billion-dollar steel trust.
The Moores built fortunes into the mill
ions and then lost trying to run a corner In
diamond match and plunge heavily In Wall
street at the same time. They were spread
out thin and split wide open. going down
in one of the most sensational failures that
ever shook Chicago. Recovery from that
disaster was miraculous, and in less than
two years they had paid off the last dollar
of an Indebtedness of 81, 600, 600. and were
once more in the millionaire class. Now
they are multimillionaires
Dan Reid and Billy Leeds, as they were
called in Hoosierdom, were unknown be-
yond the limits of the Indiana gas belt four
ness in the little city of Richmond. and
were apparently the last men In the world
TO be picked out Tor coming 'multiS.' yet
from the minute they Joined hands with the
Moores they began TO rush to the front.
Each of the young men is rated by their
intimates at $780, 1900 to $751; 900. 900. In con-
junction with the Moores and a small com
pany of picked associates they ave domi-
mated industrials capitalized at 1926. 00O. 900
and worth in open market more than $l25.-
100000 at current quotations on the Stock
Exchange. 1t is understood they will con-
tinue to manage the properties. though
along lines of policy dictated by the exec
utive committee Of the United States Steel
COMPANY. As they will be members of the
big committee they will have a hand in the
shaping of these policies.
The new tin can industrial will be an adj
junct, in a way, of the tin plate company,
although operated as an entirely separate
concern.

RECOLLECTIONs OF HARRISON.
Washington Letter in New York Mail and
Express.

Washington Letter in New York Mail and
Express.
Perhaps of all the Presidents except Gem
eral Grant, Mr.. Harrison was known per-
sonally to the largest number of people IN
Washington. Like General Grant. Mr.. Har-
rison was very fond of strolling down T.
street and Pennsylvania avenue President
Mckinley Is also fond Of a walk. but ne
generally prefers the less frequented
streets During President Harrison's adj
ministration one of the traction companies
was building a new power house on Penn
sylvania avenue, and IL was Mr. Harrison's
custom on every pleasant afternoon TO bring
his little grandson. BENJAMIN Harrison Nc
Kee, then known as Baby Mckee" down
TO see the men driving the long piles on
which the foundation of the building was to
rest. Baby Mckee was delighted with his
trip, and was never tired of asking ques-
tons of his grandfather. Many OF them
Mr.. Harrison could not answer. and he
would turn to the workmen or to the by
ISLANDERS for information. In this way,
scores of w~orkingmen would have a chance
of talking to the President OF the United
States in an informal way. and all or them
would go away delighted with General Har-
rison's courtesy.
General Harrison was probably the most
secretive man that ever occupied the White
House. Upon his Cabinet officers he al
ways enjoined the most absolute secrecy,
and If one of them betrayed the proceed
ings of a meeting General Harrison would
not hesitate to reprimand him sharply
He always prided himself on the fact that
he had beaten the newspaper on a most i'm
portant piece OF news. In his message TO
Congress in 1891 he announced that ne nad
recalled the American minister at Guate-
mala, because of his action in attempting
to hand over TO the Guatemalan authorities
General Barrundia, who had taken refuge
on the Pacific Mail steamer Acapulco. and
had sought the protection Of the American
flag.
General Harrison's announcement or the
removal of Mr.. Miner was the hrst inti-
nation that the American public had of the
seriousness OF the situation that had arisen
through the minister's unauthorized act
Mr.. Harrison was very fond OF telling his
newspaper friends how successfully he had
Guarded that secret.
