Honor For Lord Roberts.

Berlin, Feb. S.-Thc report that En-
peror William has conferred upon Lord
Roberts. the order of the Black Eagle.
although not officially confirmed is
now accepted as true. a number Of
contirmatory dispatches from London
are published, today. While the papers
generally admit that, if Emperor Will
liam gave decorations to any British
officers. Lord Roberts could not be
omitted, the public and press unani-
mously condemn the bestoWal of the
decoration as directly unfriendly to the
BuerS.
The I\reuZ Zeitung says: We fail to
see why this Boer destroyer should re-
ceive such Il unique mark of Emperor
Williams distinction and also why the
Emperor after being horribly insulted
five years ago by the officers of his
British regiment should now show them
marked attentions
The Hamburger Correspondent semi
official also disapproNes. declaring that
a painful feeling has been caused in all
parts of the country.

opments in connection with the nego-
tiations touching the transfer of the
control of the Carnegie Steel Co. to j.
Pierpont Morgan and his associates,
today, were:
First that Mr.. Carnegie is to receive
sl500 for each one thousand dollars
share of his stock. Second, that minor
ity holders who desire to sell VIII re-
ceive the same terms as those given
to Mr. Carnegie. Third, that the pres
ent stage of the negotiations cOnteni-
plate the formatio of Il new corpora
ton whose bonds will play large part
in the price to be paid Mr. Carnegie.
Fourth. the first public announcement
in connection with the pending nego-
tiations of an official character consist
ing of n statement by +. II. Gary,
president of the Federal Steel CO.,
confirming the news that }. Pierpont
Morgan is planning the acquisition of
the properties of some of the largest
iron and steel companies of this coun-
try.
If as now seems certain that Mr..
Carnegie is to receive $l500 for each
$1,000 share of his stock the transfer
in his case alone VIII be the equivalent
of nearly $50, 600 600. inasmuch as the
great steel magnates holdings at pres
ent amount to $4,000, 600. If, as seems
probable. the minority holders are to
be looked after by Mr.. Morgan's syn
dicate. the financicring Will involve the
equivalent of $2i0, 600, 600.
