No RothschiId's AIIiapce

NO RothSchild's Alliance
NEW YORK, Jan. s.-Altl1ough Wall
street was inclined to believe that tbf
visit of G. w. Fielding, director Of the
NO Unto Copper company, to this civ
had for its object the formation of a
working arrangement between that com.
pany and the Amalganated Copper com
pany' yet denials were made Yesterday
py the ofhclals Of the latter company that
| any SUCH scheme was being contemplated
From the same quarters came denials
that the Rio Tinto interest had ACQUIRED
very large line Of Amalgamated- Copper
company stock, which would give that
company representation in the Anal
gamated directorate. For the past few
days Wall street had heard persistent re-
ports that a well known banking house
was quietly picking up Amalgamated
stock, and now controlled 10000 shares
All of this, it was said, was for the Roth
sch1lds, Who are the dominating factors
in the Rio Tinto properties.

The handsome brick building on Black
wells island, until recently used by the
Manhattan state hospital for the insane,
but vacated by the state in November

The work Of transfer will continue not
only from Bellevue, but from other city
institutions, and hereafter all danger OF

ters the sufferers will be isolated from
others and will be benefited by more hy-

ton Of consumptive patients and the es-
tablishment of an institution where they
could receive the most careful scientific
treatment has long been urged by phySi-
Glars.
No Yerkes Control, but Union.
The directors stated that no portion Of
the Metropolitan company's property shall
be handed over to Mr.. Yerkes and his as
sociates as the price of union with the
District railway. At a recent meeting Of
the Metropolitan Railway company the
anticipated split in favor of handing
over the control Of the road to MI.
Yerkes did not occur.
The Metropolitan calculated that it
could supply it's own electricity, thus saw
ing $500, 600 a year on the Yerkes PROPOSE

To Fight TnStaIIment Dealers
Installment dealers of the lower grade
who use Ludlow street Jail as a debrors
prison in order to enforce collections.
sharks whose methods have repeated
ly been exposed, are fairly on the run
on the East SIDE as a result of several
recent actions against them.
Sheriff O'Brien has within a few days
asked the Legal Aid society to watch
every commitment to Ludlow street in
installment cases and to fight each one
where possible This is the first time a
sheriff has ever taken such action, and
the immediate result has been that the
number of installment case prisoners IN
Ludlow street last night was the lowest
in years. There were only five of these
prisoners.
PIatt's Kindheartedness-
Senators like Mr.. Plat, of New York,
who have the disposal of a great states
quota of federal patronage, do many acts
of kindness that are seldom heard of
outside Of the department directly con-

acts last week when he paid a visit to
the census Office. Under Director Merri-
am are some thousands Of clerks whose
services are not needed, and who are be-
ing dropped at the rate Of several hun
dred a week. On the census rolls the

was on watch on the battleship Maine
when she was destroyed at Havana,
