IMMENSE COMBINE
Negotiations for Launching
Strongest Bitumin0uS Con-
Germ in Inc World.

Pfttsburg. Pa. October 28.-The Ga
zette tomorrow will say:
Negotiations are under way for a
merging of the Pittsburs coal company
and the MOnOngahela river cOnsolidat-
ed coal and coke company, with their
combined and authorized capitaIi-
zaItion of $40, go, 900 and assets of $12O,-
O88,5S1. Consolidation Of these Interests
will launch by Jar the strongest blum
nous concern in the world. The com
bined coal output of the two companies
i sclose to 80. 900. 900 tons a year The
plan is 10 make the Pittsburg company
lessees and the purpose to economic
operations.
Successful termination of the deal Will
end the trade riva!Tr which has existed
between the two companies either un-
der or on the surface.
The tentative plan is to merge the
two companies and a the same time
eliminate one of the seemingly funda-
mentaI principles Of such moves, which
is the issuance Of a new and increased
lot Of Watered stock to more than GOV
er the combined issues of the cOnSti-
tuents. While the Pittsburg company
will probably become the investor in
terest, there is no present purpose 20
issue new stock of the Pittsburg COM
pany to take over that of the river
company. Anything like a stock wa
tering deal is 20 be eliminated.

MORE TESTIMONY TAKEN.
Several Important Exam
ined in Molineux Trial.

New York. October 27.-Mrs. Florence
Rogers, daughter OF Mrs. Katharine ].
Adams, of whose murder Roland e
Molineux is accused, was the most con-
spicuous witness on the stand at to-
days trial. Her appearance attracted
an unusually large crowd Of women
who followed the examination of the
wi ness with the keeneSt attention. Mrs.
Rogers was subjected to a close ex-
animation regarding her relations with
Harry Cornish, but little more was
ELECTED in this line of inquiry. The
greater part Of the session was devoted
to the examination of handwri ing eX-
perts.
There was a rumor about the court
house after adjournment of the Molln-
eux case oday that Mr.. Osborne will
close the case for the prosecution oc-
fore the adjournment Of court tomor-
row. 1t is understood that he has W.
ank cashiers and two professional ex-
perts in handwriting to call besides M
Harpster and tina these will conclude
his list of witnesses. If that be so, AMI
Mr.. Osborne would neither confirm mol
deny it. the case will probably reach
the jury before Saturday.
AT the first trial of the case, it took
eight we rs 70 SSt q jury anu SHdIIllile
six witnesses. In the seven and one
half days of the present trial, since the
jury was obtained, thirty-six witnesses
hava been called and croSs-eXamined.
John F.. Tyrell, the Milwaukee hand
writing expert. resumed his testimony
today and was permitted, on request of
District Attorney Jerome to illustrate
his meaning by the blackboard.
Mrs. Rogers, daughter of the lead
woman old Of giving the DOiSanai
drink to Mrs. Adams and of her almost
imms diate collapse. Mrs. Rogers said
she had known Cornish nearly all her
life, that the fact that the separation
from her husband, occurring a couple Of
months after Cornish came to New
York, was only a coincidence. Mrs.
Rogers said she had a private letta~
box once under an assumed name.
Alfred S. Osborne, an expert in hand
writing, said the hand that wrote the
poison package address and the other
disputed let er was the hand that
wrote the conceded writing of the de
PENDANT Molineux.
The witness showed by photographs
the peculiarities he later discovered IL
the disputed writing.
Mr.. Osborne declared the conceded
and dispu ed writing all showed the in
clination of the writer to dot Il" as
soon as the letter was completed, thus
making a distinct break after the IEt-
ter.
The assistant district attorney was
done with the witness after he had been
on the stand one hour and a quarter.
At the last trial Mr.. Osborne talked Il
the jury for two days.
Ex-Governor Back showed the Wit
ness a bundle of letters and asked MIN
if he had ever seen them before.
The witness said he had never seer
the papers before. 1t developed thai
the papers were specimens of his hand,
writing made by Molineux in the pres
ence of and at the request of the dis
trict attorney.

QUESTION OF SPEED VS.. POWER.
Majority and Minority Reports Sub
mitted to Secretary of Navy.

Washington, October 27.-The differ
ences between the majority and the mi
nority of the naval board on construc-
ton over the question as to whether
speed or power was to predominant n
the big armored cruiser, authorized by
the last congress-, tool official form to-
day in the shape Of two reports submit
ted to acting secretary Darling. The
majority report in favor of power is
signed by o members, Admirals
O'Neil, Bradford n Bowels and Cap
tain Sigsbee, while Engineer-in-Chief
Melville who argues for speed. signs the
minority report.
The majority declares that the new
ships Will have greater power of battery
and of protection than any armored
cruisers now building or projected and
that the ship will be much more efficient
than vessels Of the Maryland class.
Experiments they say, have shown that
the vessels will have a speed of twen.y
two knots, which is as high as Is consis-
tent with heavy guns and armor.
Admiral Melville says when the pro-
posed shin of the majority IS ready for
sea, she will certainly d.splace s 200
tons and her 1000 horse power will not
drive her above 20.9 knots or fully d
knot and a half less than the Drake the
British armored cruiser. Any van
age which the Tennessee might have
over the Drake in the way of armor or
batteries, he says would be offset ny
the greater speed of the latter which
could visit our coast and avoid vessels
of the Tennessee class at will.
