WANTS THE Cash
President Roosevelt Can't Well
Use Steel Trust Bonds.

Washington, Dec 12.-It transpires
that the gift of so, 100000 which Andrew
Carnegie rendered to President Roose-
velt for the founding of great insti-
tuition for higher education was not an
offer of s10,000,000 in cash, but the par
value of that amount in bonds of the
United States Steel corporation. The
offer of these bonds is embarrassing to
the administration, owing to the COM
plications which might arise if the gov
ernment accepted them and the presi-
dent it is understood is now in corre
spondence with Mr. Carnegie about the
matter. 1t is understood to be his de-
sire that the bonds be converted into
cash. If this is done the only obstacle
in the path of the acceptance Of the
generous gift of Mr.. Carnegie will be
removed. Pending the result of this
correspondence Mr.. Carnegie's offer is
being Withheld from congress.

ty would still remain sofidly Demo-
cratic But there are many counties IN
which the POpuIistS would probab bly,
send up a delegation composed almost
entirely of PoDuliSts, if they go into the
Democratic primaries at all. Here are
a few of such counties and the number
of delegates they would have under the
above apportionments: Cherokee, So;
Cowley, "a; Franklin, 10: Jewell 16; La
bette, 25; Linn Is; Mcpherson, Is; Lyon,
90 Miami, IT; Montgomery, %; Neosho,
II; Usage, 21; Reno, 21; Saline, 16; Sum
ner y.
None of these counties last year had
more than six delegates and some of
them had only two or three. The rest
of the counties in the state would run
largely in the same relative proportion,
SO that it can be easily seen that the
counties which are largely Populist
could easily control the convention ana
shut the old-time Democrats out en-
tirely if they choose to go into the
Democratic primaries and do so. as the
Democratic state central committee has
invited them to-
There would be nothing to prevent the
Populists from nomina ting a state tick
ct composed entirely of Populists, but
under the Democratic name. The state
committee could be entirely reorganized
and every place filled with old-time
Populists All of the old Populist planks
could be incorporated in the state plat
form.
It is this very thing which some of
the Democratic leaders have foreseen
and have been anxious to avoid, but
unless the committee rescinds it's ac-
ton to call the convention on the basis
of the vote for the fusion candidate for
governor last year.

ang the past year, which was negoti-
ated by the directors, was ratified.
There was no division in the vote at
any point. The possibility that this
meeting of directors might develop the
fact that the Pennsylvania road had
secured holdings of Santa Fe stock did
not develop There was nothing to in
dicate that the Pennsylvania has Sc
cured any interest in the Santa Fe,
although there We're 800, ,361 ahareS of
stock not represented at the meeting.
At the close of the stockholders
meeting, which lasted from Il o'clock
till l o'clock this afternoon, a short
meeting of the directors of the road
was held. This was the annual meet
ing of the directors, and the election of
officers for the road occurred. PreSi-
5 dent Ripley, Treasurer Wilder, and all
the other officials were reelected with
out division
Out of the fifteen directors of the
Santa F'e road, ten were present at the
meetings held today. This is record
breaking attendance. There never have
been so many directors of the Santa
Fe road gathered in Topeka at one
time.
The special train bearing the dfrec-
tors arrived from Chicago at 10-O5 this
morning, and was met at the depot by
General Manager Nudge and Superin-
tendent of Machinery Henderson Pres
ident Ripley and a few of the directors
went through the drizzling rain to the
Santa Fe shops, and spent-about half
an hour inspecting the shops.
When noon came the following direc-
tors assen bled in the directors room at
the Santa Fe offices, prepared to vote
for the stockholders of the road: Ed
ward P Ripley, Chicago; Thos p
Fowler, New York; Victor Morawetz
New York Edward J. Berwind New
York; R Somers Hayes, New York:
Geo. q. Haven, New York. John G. Me-
Cullough. New York; Benz P Cheney.

John R. Mulvane and p. l. Bone
brake, OF Topeka, assisted by w H
Diehl, of New York, were appointed by
President Ripley to inspect the proxies
and canvass the vote
Victor Morawetz placed in ncxn&a-
tion for the three places on the board
of directors the present incumbents and
at I2:O3 O'Clock, President Ripley de-
clared the polls open.
Under the law il was necessary to
keep the polls open for one hour. and
though the tellers We're through with
their work in about half the time the
hour was allowed to elapse before the
result OF the election was declared
President Ripley read the report of the
auditor of the Santa Fe road and it was
accepted President Ripley also read a
summary of the financial record Of fhe

ECHO OF BOOM DAYS.
Omaha Loan and Trust Com
pany in Hands of Receiver.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 12-On application
of William Wallace, a director, Judge
Fawcett in the district court appointed
William X Potter receiver for the
Omaha Loan and Trust company, and
fixed his bond at 100000. The receiver
at once qualified and took possession.
Noofficlal statement was filed with the
application for d receiver, but Mr.. Wal
lace's attorneys are authority for the
statement that the company has out
standing debenture bonds of $3.50. 900; it
is guarantor for about $4,000 900 of its
loans, and it has paid-up capital stock
of $500 900 The assets are still some
what indefinite. The better part of
them are represented by $1,100.000 of
real estate taken on foreclosure, which
is the book value of the property.
About 100000 of this amount is covered
by what are known as straw mort
cages, which are included in the list
of guaranteed loans. These straw mort
cages do not represent anything of an
irregular character, but are mortgages
used by large trust companies to avoid
carrying large amount of dead prop
erty that ties up working capital.
This leaves about 100000 of real
estate in book value to cover the de-
benture bonds and any actual liability
which exists on the guaranteed loans.
1t is not believed by any of the direct
ors that the stockholders will realize
anything out of the capital stock. One
of the directors said today that the stock
had been offered within the past two
months at from 1 to cents on the
dollar
The greater part of the 81, 500 900 of
guaranteed loans are also protected by
realty mortgages. The loans were made
on Missouri and Nebraska farms and on
Omaha realty. The Missouri loans are
said to be fair, those on Nebraska lands
of high grade and those on Omaha prop
erty are also considered worth about
par.
Several years ago about $35O000 of
mortgages were placed on Omaha su-
burban properly, which has not proved
load the trust company has been carry
ing. The failure to realize on them is
given as the real cause of the present
financial distress of the company.
The savings bank, which was taken
over by new corporation, is said to
be in good condition, being in no way
connected with the trust company.

Head of the House Returns From
Long Tour
In More Optimistic Frame of
Mind Than Ever.
WHAT THEY WILL DO.
Build From Arkansas City to
Lake Providence, La.
Line From New Orleans TO st.
Louis to Be Completed
Along the West Bank of the
Mississippi River.

New York, Dec. 12.-George J. Gould.
with Mrs Gould, has just returned from
a tour of the railroads embraced in the
Gould system-a tour divided into two
sections. and lasting about two months.
broken only by a flying visit to New
York and covering practically the en-
tire country from Utah to Texas.
After a critical and analytical survey
not alone of his own railroads, but Oh
financial and commercial conditions
throughout the country, Mr.. Gould re-
turns in an even more optimistic frame
of mind than when he finished his big
tour last spring,
Mr.. Gould was asked if he were will
ing to state at this time whether he in
tended to carry out the rumored plan
of a transcontinental railroad, with the
Missouri Pacific, Denver & Rio Grande
and Western and Central Pacific as the
main links in the chain.
Il have heard nothing about that
said MIR. Gould. I'VE are working very
harmoniously with our allied railroad
connections, Central Pacific being one OF
them.''
Then Mr.. Gould gave this inkling of
his plans for extending his network of
railroads in the south:
I'VE are contemplating a line from
Arkansas City south to Lake ProVi-
dence, in Louisiana. In fact. 1t is un-
der consideration now. The Texas &
Pacific line is to be rebuilt and extended
SO that it will form a through line
along the west bank of the Mississippi
river between New Orleans and St
Louis. The improvement will include
also the rebuilding of the New Orleans
& Northwestern railroad. The new line
runs through a beautiful cotton coun-
try, and at present there is no line TO
serve it. The country is entirely tribu-
tary to the Iron Mountain system,
hence the construction of the branches.
I'VE expect to get one of the New
York city elevated roads started with
electricity in very few days. We haze
been delayed, as other people have been
delayed, by the non-delivery of ma
chinery Our contracts are about year
behind, but we expect to have some
trains running by electricity in the near

IRON NOT TO ADVANCE.
Lake Ore Product Price viii
Remain as Last Season.

New York, Dec 12.-The Iron Age
says: A decision of far reaching inn
portance has been arrived at by the
managers of the United States Steel
corporation. After considerable dis
cussion and a number of conferences
it has been determined to fix the price
of lake iron ore for the coming season
the same as it was during the current
season, viz: $4.25, as the base price for
old range ores at lower lake ports
Some of the outside ore interests show
ed a strong disposition to favor an ad-
vance, while in isolated cases a mod
crate lowering was advocated. While
official announcement on the part OF
ore producers has not yet been made,
it may be accepted as practically set
tied that present ore prices VIII pre-
vail for another season.
The same tendency has been display
ed in certain finished lines. The beam
and plate associations have held their
meetings during the past week and
after continuing the life of these or
ganizations for another year have left
the prices to remain where they were.
Our monthly blast furnace statistics
furnish further proof of the tremendous
consumption which is now going on.
On Decen ber there were coke and an
thracite stacks in operation with a
pacity of 317,35S gross tons, an increase
of 1858 tons as compared with Novem-
ber 1. In the past month stocks have
declined $4,000 TONS
Counting in the charcoal furnaces, we
are now producing at the rate of 49,
$40, 900 tons per annum, as against the
maximum record of 13,789,0 600 tons in
1900, and yet we are constantly draw
ing on what little stock the country is
carrying.
1t should be noted, however, that the
difficulties in securing a supply of coke
made the production of November fall
below the quantity indicated by the
blast furnace returns at the beginning
of that month. A study of the figures
of November output justif1es the belief
that this cause caused deficiency of
product close to loo, 900 tons. On the
other hand, some furnaces had to pile
iron because they coufG not get cars to
send it to customers eager to secure the
raw material
Quite a number of independent fur
mace men have contracted for their
next years supply of coke at $2.15 to
S225 at oven, an advance over last
year.
In the Chicago district an interesting
developm ent has been that number of
malleabIe iron foundries unable to Sc
cure prompt delivery of coke pig iron
have turned to charcoal pig. Some good
sales have been made and others pend
ing.
Some large tonnage has been placed
in plates, both in the Philadelphia and
in the Chicago districts.

peka new depot?'' was one of the
questions put to him today by State
Journal reporter.
We'll, we nope to-yes, may say
that we plan to give Topeka a new
depot-some time. Either that or build
an addition to the present one. We have
not fully decided which. Topeka needs
a new depot, and it will get one. But
there are lots of other towns which
need new depotS worse than Topeka.

ON HABEAs CORPUS
Albert T. Patrick Is Brought
Before the Supreme Court.

New York Dec. 12.-Albert T. Patrick
was brought before the supreme court
The writ was obtained on the ground that
the district attorney had failed to prose-
cute on the Indictment handed down
April 25 charging Patrick with the muir
der of William Marsh Rice and therefore
the accused had been deprived of his con-
stitutional right to speedy trial
Todays hearing was before Justice
discharge of the defendant. He said
Patrick had been confined in the tornbs
since October f. 1900 although no indict-
ment was found until April 25 and that
efforts of the defendants counsel to Sc
cure trial on the murder charges had
been futile. Because of this and in order
not to jeopardize the defendants interest
in the ssraver case of murder, counsel had
been compelled to secure numerous u
journments of the contest of the Rice will.
