MUST BUY OUT OR FIGHT.
CarneGic's Reported UItfmntum to
MOrGnn and R0cLefelIer

A special to the New York Tribune from
Cleveland says: According to a story which
is told in this city. Andrew Carnegie has
presented his ultimatum to his competitors
In the manufacture of steel. In it he in
sists, it is said, that they either conGne
their operations to the line of work they
now engage in, or else purchase his entire
plant for the sum of 5000, 600 900
If neither of these conditions is complied
with a ruinous war between great corpora
lions is threatened. by which prices of fin
ished steel will be lowered to a point which
they have not reached for years, and mill
products will be sold upon about the same
basis that the raw material is now bringing
in the open market.
The movement is SO gigantic that TO many
a contemplation of it appears absurd 1t is
another matter growing out of the recent
announcement of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany of its intention to build a steel tube
plant at its lake port and ship the product
direct to foreign countries by the all water
route When this announcement was made
the story was printed that a part of Mr..
Carnegie's plan was to compel the railroads
to reduce their freight rates from Pitts
burg to tdeWater, and another idea was to
compel the steel concerns to keep to their
own lines of trade and refrain from poach-
ing upon its territory
This warning was not needed, for since
this statement was made the intention of
the Federal Steel Company and the Amer
lean Steel and Wire Company to build mills
for the manufacture of structural steel has
been made known. Mr.. Carnegie, however.
is not anxious to fight any more than they
are and Will prevent conflict if possible.
In line with this theory he IS reported to
have suggested either selling his plant TO
them or else making an agreement in the
nature of q pool of the territory that will
be binding. Mr.. Morgan is virtually the
head of the Federal Steel Company. or at
least most of the money invested in ii went
through his house and the combination was
financed by him. In this manner he has
virtually gained control of the company.
MeSSrs. Morgan and Rockefeller are said
to have received the proposition of Mr..
Carnegie to sell out his plant and to have
at once acted in such manner that if
anything comes of the plant, of the
greatest industrial combinations this coun-
try has ever seen will result. In order that
the project may be of any effect it must
have the cooperation of all of the other
large steel plants in the country.

HUNTING FOR GUY FAWKEs.
A Quaint Old Ceremony That Ia Per-
formed Annually in London.

Quaint Old Ceremony That Is Pcr-
formed Annually in London.
From the London Express.
Today takes place the historic searching
of the vaults of the houses OF parliament
for concealed plotters-a precaut1on that
has lasted since 1905. when the "Gunpowder
Plot" was discovered by means of the
famous letter to Lord Mounteagle, in which
he was warned that "a sudden judgment
would fall upon the nation from IAN in
visible hand
Sir Thomas Knevet. by order of the coun-
Gil, was the first person to make the search;
and 1t is written that ''he happened to spy
out a person standing at a cellar door,
ready booted and spurred. who, upon ex-
animation, confessed he had design to set
fire to a train of gunpowder which was to
blow up the parliament house; in confirma-
ton thereof, on further scrutiny thirty
six barrels of gunpowder were found in the
cellar concealed under bilets of wood
Another chronicler adds verisimlitude to
an otherwise bald and unconvincing mar
rative by corrOborative detail which would
delight the heart of Mr.. W. 8: Gilberrs
Japanese hero He remarks: "Sir Thomas
Knevet, on going thither about midnight,
found that fellow Johnson newly come out
of the vault, and without asking any ques-
TONS stayed him; and having no sooner re-
and so bound the caitif fast, who made no
difficulty to acknowledge the fact, nor to
confess clearly that the morrow following
it should have been effected"
Since this date inspection of the cellars
beneath the houses Of parliament by the
yeomen Of the guard in their old world
black-and-red uniform has annually taken
place. the time generally being fixed for
about two hours before the opening of par
lament.
A good story is told, which may only be
one of that ingenious gentleman's, Mr. Ben
Trovato. 1t Is said that former lord
chamberlain was sent to examine the
vaults and, returning with his report, said
that he had found five-and-twenty barrels
of gunpowder, that he had removed ten of
them, and he hoped the. other fifteen would
do no harm"

BOY FIEND POMEROY.
He Has Read Steadily for Twenty
Five Years in His Prison Cell.


Five Years in His Prison Cell.
From the Boston Post.
If Jesse Pomeroy, the boy murderer in
Charlestown prison, the Juvenile flend IN
carnate OF 1876 be released from custody
today he would come forth one OF the most
thoroughly read men of his age in Boston
or in the world so far English literature
Is concerned. Since September II, 1876, the
date he entered prison. until now, he has
spent almost the whole of his time, when
not sleeping or eating, in reading. He has
had access to the prison library, and has
perused everything from the lightest novel
up to the choicest classic.
When condemned to life imprisonment he
was extremely iiliterate. Although per-
vert he possessed a brain which was other
wise above the average
His thinking faculties were sharp, shrewd
and quick. Over twenty-fo years spent
in prison cell has not dimmed them. To-
day at the age of forty-one he Is just as
active mentally as he was. when as a youth
he concocted the crimes which startled the
country.
He does no work whatever except that
which Is necessary to keep his cell clean.
said Warden Bridges. Most prisoners do
ing solitary want employment. They make
unique canes and curios to keep their minds
employed, but Pomeroy is different. All he
wants Is books, and he devours them with
the greatest avidlty
Lifetime prisoners who are not condemned
to solitary confinement usually die before
they have spent a quarter of a century In
prison. and the average convict becomes
mentally queer after eight or ten years be-
hind the bars
''Pomeroy Is phenomenon He is today
hale, hearty and of sound mind. barring his
homcidal mania. He is quiet and tractable,
but we always keep sharp eye on him, for
he IS deep and crafty.
''He eats and sleeps well and will prob
ably enjoy his Christmas turkey as well,
confined in a little four by eight cell. but
that Is a mistake. His quarters are COM
modious. well furnished and supplied with
two windows"
Pomeroy confidently expects to receive
pardon and frequently talks to his guards
about it when his. food is passed in to him.

FOR STORAGE RESERVOIRS.
A Geological Survey Hydrogrnpher
says the West Needs Them.

George 3. Hollister, a photographer of
the United States Geological Survey, in
a bulletin issued yesterday says:
The storage of most of the spring
waters which would otherwise go to waste
has come to be one of the necessities
of the Western States. In past years
water was considered important, largely
in connection9with the limited amount of
land then under irrigation, but so rapidly
have the demands of irrigation advanced
and so greatly is water needed, not only
for this but for other new purposes as
well, such as cheap power to generate
electricity and for town and city supply,
that il has now become question of saw
ing all the water of the streams, that of
the fTeshet season in the spring as
well as the summers flow. to meet
the increasing demands. This must be
done by the construction of large
storage reservoirs, and already great ac-
tiyity is being shown in the Western
States, and especially in California, In
making preliminary surveys for these nee
essary and important undertakings.
The United States Geological Survey
has recently published, in its interesting
series of Water Supply and Irrigation
Papers, the results OF one of these in
vestigations looking TO the storage OF
water in the Valley Of Cache Creek, one
of the important agricultural and fruit
raising districts near Sacramento noted
for its fertility and productiveness. The
basin of this stream is also of consider
able additional importance as it contains,
as the headwaters of Cache Creek. the
beautiful body of water known as Clear
Lake. situated in the heart of the Coast
Range at an elevation of over 1880 feet
above sea level The purity of its waters
and it's relative nearness to san francisco
make its storage possibilities as prob
able supply for that city of considerable
value

The acceptance by Gen. Thomas C.
Catchings, Of the vice presidency for Mis-
sissippi in the Mckinley National Memo

day by Secretary Walsh. The enthusiasm

Der of the higher State offices as well. and
his connection with the National Memo
