MOrgan's Fees.

If the reports as to the amount allowed
for services in previous transactions be
true, there ought not to be any surprise
that j. Pierpont Morgan received $l2,-
100000 70 financing the steamship com
bine
An associate of Mr.. Morgan is credited
with having said that the great Ameri-
can financier, for his work in organizing
the steel trust, received $lOO,O0O,OOO in
stock of the corporation, said then to be
worth $50,OO0,OO0. In the formation of
the American Bridge company he is said
to have received $l5,0O0,OOO in common
stock. The organization of the Northern
Securities company is said to have netted
him $l5,O00,O0O in securities, while for
putting through the Metropolitan Trust
Securities company he is accredited with
having received a fee of $3O,OOO,OOO. Or
securities of a face value of $l72 100000
have been turned over to Mr. Morgan for
his financial services in launching five
large combines.
People who are in the midst of these
gigantic financial operations say that thi:
is not excessive remuneration for the
services rendered. 1t is said to be merely
question of ability, and that Morgan
has not only the ability to form the com
bination, but also to protect the stock o
the new concerns. He is paid in stock
but that, in a Morgan corporation, is 81
much cash, because he is behind the stool
and makes the company a success.

Baltimore, Md, May 5.-The magnifi
cent silver service, made from silver coins
taken from the Spanish cruiser Cristobal
Colon, to be presented to Admiral Win
field Scott Schley by his friends in this
state and in Washington, has been com
pleted and is on exhibition in the show
windows of the manufacturers in this
city. The service consists of one center
piece, soup tureen and ladle, four vegeta-
BILE dishes with covers, one gravy bowl
and ladle, one roast platter, one game
platter, one fish platter, and 10 dessert
plates.
Upon each piece is engraved Admiral
Schleys initials in monogram, and each
bears this inscription:
"Made of silver taken from the Spanish
cruiser Cristobal Colon, destroyed in the
naval battle off Santiago de Cuba July 3
1898"
The fineness of the silver used was not
interfered with, and the metal therefore
has almost the hardness of steel. The
weight of the coins used was about l5OC
ounces, and at the present price OF silver
represents value OF 5000, but nearly siN
times that amount was required to pur
chase the coin from the government
The presentation of the service will b.
made Wednesday at the home of Theo
dor Marburg in this city, who, with for
mer Postmaster General James A. Gar!
and Ives Cobb Of Washington. compris

New Discoveries Made.

Berkeley, Cal, May 5.-Professor Ar
min o. Leuscher, director of the students
observatory at the University of Califor
MIA, has made the discovery that the
Brooks comet, first observed two weeks
ago, revolves about the sun in one quarter,
the shortest number of days required by
any comet ever before recorded. AS soon
as the discovery of the comet by Brooks,
observations were begun at the Lick OBJ
servatory. The Berkeley astronomers
computations show that the comet is
nearer the sun than the earth, revolving
around it in 800 days. 1t is supposed this
is the comet observed in l74s for three
days only, and never seen again since
that time.

evidence of its remembrance of those
French citizens who shared its dangers

orable period, have united our two coun-
tries. France will hail this manifestation
with deep emotion"

A BIG STRIKE IS PROBABLE
STATEMENT OF MIR. MITCHELL.
subcommittee Failed to Reach an
Scafe-CnII for Another Meeting
Mitchell Says That IA Strike Is I'm
minenf.

New York, May 5.-President John
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
OF America gave out the following
statement regarding the secret con
ference between his organization and
the coal operators:
THE subcommittee of operators and
miners selected by the Industrial
branch of the National Civic Fedora
ton failed to reach an agreement upon
any of the important issues embodied
IN the miners scale adopted by the
Shamokin convention.
The executive committeeman of
the three anthracite coal districts of
the United Mine Workers of America
in whom is invested the authority to
call strike. have been notified to
meet at Scranton at 10 a. m. We'd
nehday May T. This committee con-
sists of 2S members appointed from
the three districts, and should a ma
jority of them vote in favor of a strike
the entire $4,000 mine workers will
Immediately respond to the call"
Mr.. Mitchell was asked if he would
say what had occurred at the recent
conference between representatives of
the miners and the coal operators.
He replied that there was little to tell
except that the operators had refused
to grant any concessions whatsoever
to the men. They would not agree that
wages should be raised, that working
hours should be reduced, or that coal
should be weighed at the pit mouth.
1t was suggested to Mr.. Mitchell
that it looked very much as if strike
was imminent.
We'll" he replied. sit looks very
threatening"
There are in the miners organiza-
ton about lat, 900 anthracite coal min
ers who will be affected if a strike is
declared. There are also about 81. 900
soft coal miners, many of whom be-
long to the union and who could be
induced to join the anthracite miners
should there be a strike. Whether
that will be done and the bituminous
as well as the anthracite coal trade
tied up Mr.. Mitchell said he could not
say.
Mr.. Mitchell pointed out that the
National Civic Federation had ac-
complished the object for which it was
formed when it brought the employers
and the men together.
'The only other function of the fed
GRAFTON" said Mr.. Mitchell, lis to ar
bitrate when asked to do so by both
parties to a disagreement. l can not
say what would be done by the United
Mine Workers. and in any event the
good Offices of the federation would
not be asked until after the executive
committee of the mine workers had
met at Scranton"
