The heavy wind on Thursday OF

The wind was also high in the low

Morgan and His Power.

A worldwide transportation trust has
long been Morgan's dream, declares all

ing comically pitiful pleas to Morgan to
let England come into the new trust.
The fact that Morgan is addressed i'll tones
of supplicatiou shows that he is absolute
master

Caesar Augustus, not even Napoleon, with
all his mighty armies, was such con-
queror as J. P. Morgan, with his little

No king is one-tenth so powerful as
Morgan. Edward VII, Emperor William,
Nicholas of Russia-any one of these is a
pigmy i'll real power compared with
Morgan.
Almost any kind of man who labors
works for Morgan through some of his
companies. Rudyard Kipling, Lew Wal
lace-all Of the geuinses who in fine
frenzy dash off poetry and write stories
for Harpers are working for Morgan. The
patient scientists are digging out minute
facts for Morgan to scatter to the world.
The artist with pencil and british draws
and paints, and Morgan pays him.
So absolute has he become that while
he IS personally worth perhaps not more
than 500, 900, 900, corporations over
which he has control possess more wealth
than there is gold on earth.
The total capitalization of all the conf
panies he controls is $5,2io. 1913, 3S6-and
all the gold, coined and uuconed, in all

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.

WASHINGTON, July 9, 1902.
The visitor at the White House during
the past week must have experienced
surprise to find the Chief Executive tran
sacting business in such wholly unsuitable
and inadequate surroundings. The "tenl-
porary White House, which will remain
the office and residence if he is in Wash
ington, of the President until the reno
walton of the White House proper has
been completed, is a very ordinary pri-
vate residence which has been rented
UNFINISHED, and no great attempt has
been made at furnishing it. Some of the
antiquated furniture, which did not look
seriously out of place in the old White
House, has been placed in the rooms.
What was the front parlor is now used as
a reception room and in it is large table
devoted to the use of the newspaper cor
respondents The dining room was used
by the President for his private Office and
as "Cabinet room" The second floor of
the house is devoted to the private use of
the President and the top floor is occu-
pied by the regular clerical force of the
White House.

With the adjournment of Congress the
measures which we're so long pending in
that body entered new field of activity
and energetic steps are being taken by all
the departments to carry into effect the
laws made by Congress. A conference
was held recently at which were
present the President, the Secretary
of the Interior and Senator Hansbrough
to consider means for carrying ont the
Irrigation law. This law, from the fact
that it requires no further legislation to
make it effective, is perhaps the most
complete bill passed by the Fifty-seventh
Congress. There is already fund of up
wards Of Sc, 600, 900 with which to COM
mence operations, and there are numerous
surveys in the Office of the Geological
Survey from which the first plans will lie

Of conferences with the Minister from
Columbia at which a treaty will be ne
gotiated and made ready for submission
to the Senate at the short session. There
appear to be some serious difficulties in
the way of securing from Columbia such
concessions as it is feared are male nee
essary by the provisions of the bill. The
Spooner substitute provides that perma-
nent control to the territory through
which the canal will pass must be seeuf-
ed and the constitution of Columbia
according to Senior Concha, her Minister
in Washington, forbids the permanent dis
posal Of any of tie country. Senior Con
cha says that he has no doubt, however,
that lease for two hundred years can be
effected with possibly an agreement for
the renewal OF the lease for like period
1t is also possible that tbs opponents of
any canal will be able to prevent the rat
i6cation of any treaty in the Senate, as
the control of but one-third of the votes
in the upper chamber would accomplish
its defeat.
