He Will Go at Once to Europe on His
Vacation.
]. p. Morgan Said to be IN Control Of
the Steel Combine in the
Meantime.
A VAST SCHEME TALKED OF

New York, August 21-J. p. Nor
gan had a long interview at his own
Office last evening with President O.
NJ. Schwsb Of the steel trust, and as a
result Mr.. Morgan is believed now to
be in absolute control OF the entire
trust, President schwab having vir-
tually turned il over to him to be ad-
ministered during his own vacation in
Europe, on which he will start at
once.
When Mr.. Morgan arrived from
Europe on the Oceanic he announced
that he intended to go to his country
home at Highland Falls, up the Hud-
son, and that he would not be at his
Office until tomorrow. His yacht, the
Corsair, met him down the bay and
steamed beside the liner to White Star
pier.
On the trip up the bay he heard for
the first time Of the reported illness Of
President Schwsb, but said he did not
believe It,
At his Office he first closeted him
self with his partners, George W.
Perkins and Charles Steel After that
President schwab appeared, and was
alone with Mr.. Morsgan for nearly an
hour.
Although no word was given out,
1t was currently believed that Presi-
dent Sohwab, not knowing when he
would be back from his unexpected
vacation in Europe, turned over the
management Of the billion dollar trust
to Mr.. Morgan, temporarily, at least.
During the voyage over Mr.. Nor
gan became very confidential with
President A. @. Psrkin Of Toronto
university. Mr.. Parkin said today:
"Mr Morgan's word picture of the
ideal industrial development is so vast
that | confess | could not adequately
comprehend it. Combination is the
keynote Of his idea. He claims the
idea Of combination will progress,
growing wider and greater all the
time.
1.-THE steamship trust he used as an
illustration, saying the present plan
was only the beginning Of an ulti-
mately vast combination Of shipping
interests.
"His idea is so great that it has
completely enthralled me, and asked
permission to visit him at his office
and hear him more fully develop his
idea for me.
American boys" he declared,
should not receive their college train
ing abroad. That would tend to un-
Americanize them. America rules the
world, and our college boys should de.
velop in an atmosphere Of American
ideas. All foreign nations should be
kept sloof from them until their char
acters are developed"

Chicago, May 17.-During the prog

ed the lard refinery of Armour & Co.
in the Union stock yards, 20 people
were injured, five of them in a man
ner which will probably cause death
in short time. The loss of the com.

between $750,000 and 100000 with
all chances in favor Of the latter.

and David Fleming.
There were a number of accidents,
but by far the largest number of those
who were hurt received their injuries
by the falling of a hog runway upon
which they were standing to obtain
a better view of the fire.
The lard refinery had just been
completed and was considered by its
owners the most complete establish
ment it's kind in the United States
1t was five stories high and $50 by 300
feet. 1t was filed with new and cost
ly machinery, and during the day @,
900 people worked within its walls.
The fire originated with an exp1o
sion of three lard tanks on the fifth
floor of the building. The cause Of
the explosion is unknown, but the
three tanks, which were filled with
boiling lard, went up with a roar all
most in the same second. It was not
minute after the explosion until the
entire fifth floor was a mass of flames.
Within an hour the building was to
tally DESTROYED
The fire was one of the most spec
tacular that. has been seen in Chicago
in recent years.

QUIET in COAL RE
Opposing Forces Seem
Awaitinu DEVELOPMENTS,


E. Awaiting Developments.
Hamilton, May 17.-The regions
hereabouts were very quiet today and
every one is patiently awaiting devel-
opments. President Mitchell says he
has had 10 communication with any
one regarding the settlement of the
strike. He has received no word, he
said, from Senator Hanna or any 9TH
er member of the Civic Federation.
THE operators have refused our de-
mands,' he continued. 1--WE have quit
work and it is now up to the other
side"
The operators also appear to be
awaiting developments. The mine
owners in this region say that they
have shut down indefinitely and VIII
not attempt to start up their collieries
They feel that enough men could be
secured from the miners ranks to par.
TALLY resume work, but this they fear
would bring on strife which they de-
clare they want to avert.
The Illinois bituminous operators
were again besieged for their opins
ions on the plan of the anthracite men
to call out the soft coal workmen.
They reiterate that it would be diff,
cut to accomplish 2such thing. There
might be sporadic strikes, but not a
general suspension.
Herman Justi, of Chicagos Nv dSE
of the Illinois OperatoEM asso'
citation, said he believed the soft coal
men generally would aid their fellow
men in this region ms ainly in a fnan
cial way. He said that the Illinois
system of treating with the miners and
the entering into atn agreement with
the union is the best now existing, and
he woulG like OF see the anthracite
miners and the coal operators reach
settlement.
