ANOTHER GREAT TRUST.
Coal Mining Companies In Six States to BE
Consolidated with Capital Of $780,
100000 to $500, 100000.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 4.--The Post
to-day says: All the bituminous coal
mining companies of Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia
and Kentucky are to be consolidated
into one great corporation by the ].
P. Morgan syndicate. The enormous
proportions of this corporation can
hardly be realized. The fact that the
Pittsburg Coal company with its capi-'
tai of $64,OOo,OoO, and the Mononga-
hela River Consolidated Coal and Coke
company, with its capital of $3O,OOO,-
900, are to be included in the greater
consolidation, brings the matter
strongly before Pittsburg coal opera
tors. The completion of this great
project will mean the consolidation of
from s2OO,OOO,OOO to $3OO,OOO,OOO of in
vested capital. This will represent not
only the undeveloped properties in six
states, but also the actual properties
under development.

FOREIGN COMMENTS.
What the German Papers Say About
\ Rccsevelt's Minneapolis Speech.
|1nB MONROE DOCTRINE REASSER1ED


n Berlin, Sept. 4.-Several papers com
mented yesterday upon Vice President
Roosevelt's speech at the Minnesota
state fair regarding the part the
I United States should play among the
Il great nations. "One sees how leading
American politicians demand an ex-
eenaion Of the sphere of power of the
United States" says the Vossische
zeitung. zone sees this purpose more
sharply emphasized in the opposition
offered to European influences. One
uees also how the United States claim
dcmiciliary rights in the internal and
\ external affairs Of all American coun-
v tries. II, therefore, conviction ex-
h lists that the North Americans are
\ ready at any time to go far beyond
\ their rights and duties, mixing in the
affairs Of weaker American countries,
there Is no cause for wonder. II pco-
pie outside Of the United States are
really in error regarding the inten-
tions Of the United States the Ameri-
cans have themselves to blame. Mr..
\ Roosevelt spoke quite In the well
known tone"
The utterances Of the vice presi-
\ dent referred to are interpreted by
y the vossiche Zeitung to mean that
IN the United States must use their
forces against any American country
K designing to attack, and that the
Washington government must mix
itself In matters which, according to
Z International law, 1t really should
have nothing to do
In conclusion the Vossische Zeitung
nays: I'VE know Of no European
country that Is trying to secure ter
ritorlal extension anywhere In Amer
lca, unless it be Great Britain, which
sis insisting upon the observance Of
treaty rights in connection with the
\ Nicaragua canal. The only country
IN the world now following policy
4 81 expansion In America Is the United
N States. The Americans think TT
.gfor domestic political reasons to show
iidistrust as regards Europe, whereas
Europe has better grounds for OBJ
seving the plans Of the United
States with reasonable distrust."
The Berliner Tageblatt says: 1.-THE
speech OF the American vice president
Il q rcassertiNn of the Monroe doc
4 trine in the lingo sense and shows
how widespread in the United States
Il the chimera Of European powers
