FINL ANDERS FOR ALASKA.
New York Banking House Has Representatives
Looking Up Cook Inlet Country.

Seattle, May l6.-The New York bank
ing house of Hornberg & Co. has taken
steps looking to the founding OF Finnish
colony in Alaska. j. Churchill, repre-
sentative of the company, it is reported
by passengers on the steamer Bertha, is
now in the Cook inlet country looking
upa suitable site for the proposed settle.
ment.
1t is said that many families in Fin
land are anxious to immigrate to Alaska,
providing there is any chance of their
being able to make living. Hornberg
< Co. intend to start small colony at
first and II it prospers plans will be laid
to take largeu nmber of people into
the district.
1t is the intention 20 start the colony
an Kachemak bay, Cook inlet. 1t is said
that there are thouands of acres of table
land along the bay which can be devel-
oped into an excellent agricultural and
stock raising country. Horses and cattle
can live through the winter without food
other than what they can find for them
selves, and vegetables and certain graine
are said to thrive. The fishing INDUSTRY
will also be one of the principal re-
sources on which the colonist will depend.

To Form . Body to Investigate Business Fail.
urcs All Over the Country.
New York, May l6.-A plan which has
long been contemplated by the National
Association of Credit Men-the estab-
lishment of bureau for investigating
fraudulent failures and prosecuting those
deemed to be guilty of such practices, is
about to be realized, says the Journal of
Commerce. A fund of $4,000 necessary
to start the bureau practically has been
subscribed and this new department of
the association, which will be national
in scope, undoubtedly will be opened in
the near future.
If the headquarters of the national
association continue in this city it is
quite likely that the bureau also will be
located here. Arrangements are to be
made with law firms to act as counsel to
whom shall be referred all requests for
investigation and prosecution.
If, after receiving an opinion from its
counsel on the merits OF the case pre-
scented, the association shall decide to
engage in the prosecution of the case, it
will be at once referred to the legal rep
resentative to be selected by the associa-
ton in the territory where the failure
has occurred.

WANTS WOMAN SENATOR.
Salt Lake Tribune Sees No Reason for Not
Electins One to Succeed, Rawlins.

Salt Lake, May l9.-The Salt Lake
Telegram independently advocates the
election of a woman as United States
senator to succeed Senator Rawlins,
whose term will expire in 1908.
Since the Utah women vote and have
the right to hold Office equally with male
citizens" says the Telegram, lit seems
to us that it is about time for them to
exercise that right, and to the extent Of
it's last analysis.
"rhere is no constitutional inhibition

wormy old sentiment that the sooner We

Utah in respect of sex are without rep

senators. Why not take the new depar-
ture and have the credit of being the first

SOME FAIRY TALES.
havemeyer Charged With Direct Fraud Upon
American People.

Washington, d. G., May l6.-Hay.
ward Leavitt, the beet sugar manufac-
turer, continued his testimony before
the senate committee on Cuban rela-
tiOns. He charged Havemeyer with
having practiced direct fraud on the
American people in having testified
before the committee to what he knew
was not true.
Leavitt contradicted Havemeyer's
statement that the sugar trust had no
intimation of the impending Legislation
for Cuba by citing the admission by the
trusts advertising agent that he had
secured the publication of paid articles
in various newspapers urging reduced
tariff rates on Cuban sugar. He also
cited Havemeyer's statement that the
consumer would receive no benefit from
the proposed reduction while at the same
time holding out to the public the
promise of cheaper sugar if the proposed
reduction were made.
In view of the statements made Dy
Leavitt it is possible Havemeyer will DO
given another hearing before the COM
mittee. where he may be given chance
to explain the apparent contradictory
nature of his remarks.

COAL TRUST NEXT
RUMOR HAS 1T THAT ROOSEVELT
WILL GET AFTER BARONS.
II is Far More of Monopoly Than the Beef
Trust, Controlling Practically all the An
thracite Mined-Said to be Battle BE-
tween President Roosevelt and J. Pierpont
Morgan.

Washington, May l9.-The next bolt
from the department of justice aimed at
the trust " ill very likely be sent in the
direction of The anthracite coal combina-
ton. The subject is under consideration
and investigation at the department and
there is reason for believing that bill
in equity is being prepared.
The combination being very much like
the beef trust, the proposed remedy, 1T
is said, will be similar to the action filed
at Chicago on May 10. The department
will allege that the coal companies and
the coal carrying roads are in consplr-
acy to restrain interstate commerce, In
violation of the Sherman antitrust law
of 1890.
But while the beef barons control only
so per cent. of the meat business the
coal trust has everything in it's grasp.
According to information given during
the Investigations of the Industrial Com
mission all the railroads that penetrate
the hard coal territory, except the
Ontario & Western are in conspiracy
That one might as we'll be, because it
acts in harmony with those that are.
Not lump of coal can get out of the
field over that road except under the
rates and regulations of the trust.
When the fight is begun the style of
the case might as we'll be written Theo-
dore Roosevelt against John Pierpont
Morgan. They will be the real parties
in interest. The fnancier has greater
interest in the anthracite properties
than he has in the Northern Securities
merger against which the first anti
trust action was brought.
1t will be direct collision between the
great fnancier and the president, who
has turned deaf ear to the representa-
tons that it would be unwise and impol-
itic for him to disturb business by any
more trust suits.
1t is more notorious that the hard coal
con bination has a monopoly than it is
that the packers combine controls arti.
ficlally the prices OF meats. 1t is notori-
GUS that it has limited production, and
that it is worse than useless for the own
er of coal lands to try to mine coal, He
cannot get it to market because the rail-
roads will not furnish cars in numbers
large enough or when desired, to enable
the shipper to fill any contracts he may
make. Even if he could get cars, he
couldn't get rates enabling him to COM
pete. Many land owners have tried, but
all have failed.
The owners have also found that they
must lease or sell their lands to the COM
bination for any price, either royalty or
outright sale, it chooses to fix. Prices
are announced every month, and all deal
ers must sell at that or be blacklisted. An
injunction will be sought as in the case
yainst the packers.
The trusts life, considering the miners
strike, is not particularly happy one at
this time, and it is possible that the pres
ident sees in the new form of attack an
opportunity to indirectly aid the miners
in their fight.

Mr.. Croker to Return.

New York, May 1.-the Evening
Post says: 1t was reported at Tammany
hall Thursday morning. that Richard
Croker will be in New York within a
month, and will either resume the
leadership of the organization, which
Lewis Nixon laid down, or select sue
cessor to Nixon. 1t was predicted that
a thorough politician, probably one of
the district leaders, will be chosen, as
the experiment of putting a business
man at the head OF Tammany hall has
turned out to be failure.

Uneasiness.

Uneasiness.
Fort De France, Martinique, May H.
Great flashes of very bright lightning
were emitted from Mont Pelee between
10 and IL o'clock last night. They were
visible from here. Thick, glowing red
clouds, interspersed with flashes of light,
are issuing from the volcano this morn
ing Showers of cinders, lasting for 20
minutes, accompanied the activity. The
people in the districts of Lorrian, Marri-
got, Santa Marie and La Trinite are panic
stricken.
San Juan, Porto Rico, May 15.-Ad-
vices just received from the south side
of the island are to the effect that heavy
clouds and smoke obscure the horizon
and the sea suddenly receded more than
100 feet. The atmosphere became ex-
ceedingly oppressive. 1t is certain that
another volcano has sprung into exis-
tence at some point south of here. 1t is
probable that it is an entirely new form
alton of land.
