Steel TRUST PRoFlTs.
First Six Months Shows Immense
Earninaa for the CORPORATION.


New York, Oct. 2.-The billions dollar
steel trust launched last spring by j,
Pierpont Morgan completed its first six
months yesterday, and, judging by the
msager statement vouchsafed the pub
lie, 1t has been great, success from the
viewpoint of the s200,0oO.O0o syndicate
which, fioated it., In. Wall street; the
statement, as far asst goes was con-
sidered very satisfactory.
The strike does not gem to have af-
fected the earnings, and If the steel
trade continues as. prosperous during
the remainder OF the fiscal yea, the cor
poratipn will be able to continue to pay
dividends on both classes Of stock. At
the regular quarterly meeting yesterday
the United States Steel Corporation de-
clared the regular quarterly dividend of
l per cent on the common and! TX per
cent on the preferred stock, and the
anxiety felt in some quarters was great
~ relieved.
There probably was never any real
doubt but that the dividends would be
declared, A change. of policy at. this
time would. it was said in Wall street.
be fatal to the attempt Of the syndicate
to market all the stock during the eigh-
teen months allowed for that purpose.
| An, attempt was made, however, to
break the stock by brokers in Boston,
where most of the recent manipulation
OF the New York stock market seems to
have been arranged. One OF these
houses offered Is of 1 per cent for the
dividend on the common stock, with q
view to creating the impression that
the dividend was to be reduced. The eff
fort, however. proved unavailing, as the
stock practically held its own turnout
the day.
The brief haif-yearly statement is
sued by the United States. Steel Corpor-
alton for the period ending Sept. 90
Ilshows net earnings of $54, 954,s71. and q
payment in dividends of $27. 96s,424. Al
flowing for interest on bondo and sink
ling fund, the surplus for the half yea,
lis $12.326,7 42. This is considered very
favorable showing, when 1t Is remem-
lsbered that the corporation has Just
lipassed thru strike and the six months

Tien Tsin March 20.-The excite.
ment and anxiety here as to the pos
sible developments of the Anglo-Rus-
sian siding dispute do not abate. A
company Of British troops and a com
pany of Russian soldiers remain en-
camped on either side of the trench,
looking at one another. The Russians
have orders to fire on any one COM

General Wogack says the trouble
was caused by the unwarrantable in
reference Of the British in the af-
fairs of the Russian concessions and
he adds that the siding will not be
continued unless he receives orders
from his own superiors.

pected here shortly.
Both sides will appeal to him, but
they both consider the matter to be

HARRISON MONUMENT.
Movement to Erect One Has Been
Started at INDIANAPOLIS.

Started at indianapolis.
s indianapolis, March 2O-A quiet
movement, looking to the erection of
public monument to General Harri-
son. has been started here by some Of
his personal friends and admirers.
and it is possible that public meet
ing Will be called in the near future to
take active steps in the matter. It
mas been suggested that the monu-
ment be in the form of statue Of
bronze on, a base made of Indiana
stone and marble, and that the cost
be limited to $4,000. It is designed
to make the statue tribute from In
diana citizens and subscriptions will
not be sought outside of the state, but
contributions will not be refused if
voluntarily offered by others. 1t is
believed that many of the prominent
and wealthy men, with whom he was
more or~less associated in life, would
be glad to contribute something, but
the idea is to have the monument rep3
resent a popular expression from the
people, and small subscriptions to the
fund rather than large ones will be Sc
licited
