PAY THEIR PRICE
AND AMERICANS CAN HAVE THE
CANADIAN PACIFIC.
THE GOVERNMENT MIGHT BID.
To Prevent Control Going to Foreign.
ers-State Railroads for
Canada.

Montreal. Feb. lit G.. Shaughnessy
president of the Canadian Pacite rail
way. was asked last night what he
thought of the possibility of the Cana
dian Pacific being acquired by a power
fdl combination of United States capital,
as was stated in the course of the debat e
or the government ownership OF rail.
ways in the house of commons.
Oh it is quite possible" observed Mr..
Shaughnessy. There is nothing what
ever to prevent American capitalists if
they have got the money. from buying
the stock of the Canadian Pacific which
is for sale in London and Montreal and
on the Berlin and other continental
bourses. Having acquired the stock,
there is nothing to prevent them from
controlling the policy of the company
ard exercising their control for the ad-
vancement of the United States inter
estS.''
What do you think. Mr.. Shaughnessy,
of the suggestion that in order to pre-
vent this the government should itself
acquire possession of the Canadian Pa
cific and other railways material to the
prosperity of Canada. which are now
owned by companies?"
Well" observed Mr.. Shaughnessy.
speaking quite frankly. l think it would
infinitely be better if the government in
tends to take up seriously the business
of railroading. that the public money of
this country should be invested in the
acquisition of such railways as the Ca
madam Pacific and the Grand Trunk.
than that it should be wasted in the sub
sidizing and construction Of useless lines.
We have had too much wasting of pub
lie money in the past for the building of
railways which are not only most useless.
but are positively injurious. inasmuch as
they cripple the lines which are already
built. This is very pernicious and as I
have said. it would be far preferab that
the government should take over the ex-
listing lines than that they should build
new lines to compete with them"
DO you think there is likely to be any
combination of American capitalists
which would purchase the Canadian Pa
cific railway stock in such quantities as
would give the control of it's policy to
foreigners?'
THAT is hard to say said the presi-
Gent with laugh. Il have not heard
OF any who are anxious to do SO as yet"

FOR THE RICE MILLIONS.
Expert Chemist Still Makes No Report
on Poisoning.

New York. Feb. 14.-Prof. Witthaus.

Elementary report to the district attor-
ney in the case of William Marsh Rice,
the Texas millionaire. Several months
ago he said he had discovered traces Of
mercury in the old mans stomach. I'm
til the result of the chemists cumulative
analysis is known, the coroner's inquest
cannot be held nor does the district at
tcrney know whether to ask an indict-
n,ent for murder or for grand larceny or
forgery against Albert T. Patrick who
has been confined in the toombs for
months.
Assistant District Attorney Osborne,
Who has the case in hand. said his delay
vas principally the result of request
from Patricks lawyers that no criminal
action be taken which might be pre-
judicial to his clients interests in civil
rights. A civil suit has been begun to
determine the right for the possession OF
the old mans estate and there is con-
test in the surrogateS court against the
admission of the will. Two wills have
been filed, one by Patrick and another
bv the Texas heirs and executors.
Jones. who was valet to Rice, is in the
house of detention.

GOOD PROSPECT FOR IRON.
Good Demand Starts Prices Upward

Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 1.-THE Iron
Trade Review this week says
The working out of the Morgan mas
New York is responsible for some hesi-
fancy in the trade, but even so. the vol
ume of current business is good. and
there is promise of greater activity for
the near future. On the heels of the re-
cent buying of 100000 tons of Bessemer
iron by the Carnegie company. it is re-
ported that interest is again in the mar
ket for large block of iron for delivery
in the first half of the year. Estimates
for the amount under inquiry range
from $4,000 to 100000 tons. Merchant
furnacemen had been quoting higher
prces before this inquiry came into the
market, and 1925 at valley furnaces is
now said to be the minimum for the
standard Bessemer. If there has been
any purpose on the part of furnacemen
to maintain low market for iron for
its influence on the price of ore. the re-
Quirements of large interests would
seem to be interfering with the pro-
Sramme, for the Bessemer iron market
is likely to go higher. Next to this i'm

COMPLIMENT TO MORGAN.
Britishers Believe His Death Would
Be International Calamity.

New York Feb. 1.-THE Herald says;
According to cable report received
in this city. British investors have just
paid an extraordinary compliment to j.
Pierpont Morgan. Several men, 1t is
said, have insured their property at
Iloyds against loss by the death of Mr..
Morgan, paying for the insurance the
exceptionally high premium of three per
cent for three months. or at the rate of
II per cent. a year.
1t has bee nthe custom Of British prop
erty owners to insure themselves against
loss by death of the reigning monarch.
In the lifetime of the queen her sub
jects would frequently take the precau-
ton of insuring themselves against loss
by her sudden death.
While no direct verificatio of the re-
port could be obtained in this city it is
generally conceded that Mr.. Morgan's
remarkable position as the supporter OF
properties, which have an International
interest, would render it practical idea
for some persons to insure themselves
against loss by his death.
Mr. Morgan is GA years of age.

And We Cannot Go Wrong in Treat

New Haven Conn.,, Feb. 14-Justice
David j. Brewer, of the United States
supreme court, touched upon the Phil
ippine problem in his address in the
Dodge lecture course in Yale. He said:
Il have been over thrty-six years on

rectly ever has limited that any decis

MANY people are today wondering
what the outcome of the Philippine war
will be. The press and the halls of leg

questions involved in the settlement of

tanned the American rights to the play
from Edmond Rostand. the author. on an
agreement of a royalty of s per cent on
the first 5000 of the gross receipts. and

Buys Graded Right of Way and Will

Tacoma, Feb. 14-It is stated positive
ly that President Mohler, of the Oregon

ing for the Union Pacific, has bought
the Northern Pacific interest in the old

NO FORECAST OF SPEECH.

Tribune from London says:
There was a good deal of disappoint.

ing of parliament would be withheld on
the present occasion. 1t was decided by
the cabinet that it would not conduce to
the dignity of the crown if the first pro-
nouncement which his majesty would
have the privilege of making from the
throne in the house of lords on the do
nestle and foreign affairs of the empire
had been already anticipated by the
newspapers in form and substance.
However,it is not likely that the speech
will suffer from the circumstance as 1t Is
not expected to mark any new departure
in parliamentary proceedings. Some ref
erence is expected to the vigorous prose-
cutting of the war in South Africa and
such international questions as the Mic
aragu canal convention and the French
shore difficulty in Newfoundland may be
touched on. Army reorganization and
the unwelcome budget is foreshadowed
and in view of the kings interest in the
proper housing of the working classes
the subject is almost certain to be men,
toned.
The settlement of the civil list ought
not to be a difficult or tedious affair, al
though Mr.. Laboucalere already hints his
disapproval Of granting an allowance
framed on more generous lines than
those which We're followed Ga years ago.

SAVE THE MONEY
PROVIDED FOR THEIR FIGHT
WITH CARNEGIE.
NO MORE OPEN COMPETITION.
Great Steel Combine Will Have Things
It's Own Way-Fair to
Stockholders.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE Herald SAYS
Of the reported Morgan Carnegie steel
negotiations:
1t is learned from Federal Steel COM
pany's director that it has been deter
mined not to make the proposed ST.
100000 bond issue of the company which
was projected for the establishment of
new plants to compete with Carnegie.
Competition between these concerns
will, of course, have been done away
with. 1t is also learned that it is the
expectation of the promoters of the
combination 10 absorb the various cor
porations which it was previously
thought it would control simply by own
ership of majority of the stock.
The plans of the Morgan interests
contemplate a greater absorption of steel
corporations than has been generally
supposed.
The projectors are willing to go little
slow. Not only are the Carnegie. Fed
eral Steel, National Steel. American
Steel and Wire, National Tube and
american Bridge companies and the
Moore properties (the steel hoop. the
sheet steel and tin plate concerns) to be
ultimately consolidated, but the $4,000 =
900 Lake Superior consolidated iron
mines likely to be in the combination.
This is a Rockefeller concern and con-
arols a great and valuable ore territory,
as we'll as a line of boats, all of which
Will be valuable to the big combina-

when asked on what basis the various
companies would go in. said:
The plan provides fot the purchase
10y stock of the new company of all the
stock of each of the companies to be
taken in. The capitalization will about
equal the present combined capitaliza-
tions. Those who desire to retain old
stock may do so. but | think all the
stockholders of. the old companies will
make the exchange.
The minority stockholders will have
their stock valued on the same basis as
Mr. Carnegie. Obviously in a matter of
this kind. everything must be done fairly
and equtably. and all will get the same
price. except that Mr.. Carnegie Will re-
ceive bonds, While the minority holders
are paid in stock. The Carnegie COM
pany is being taken in at a handsome
price. and the other concerns will no
doubt expect like generous treatment
