Morgan and Mark Hanna EndeavOg to Secure Control of All the
Soft Coal Interests of the Country-capta
Stock $II0 600, 000

in the hands of a comparatively few
individuals
Mr.. Morgan is credited with being
largely instrumental in combining the
Hooking valley fields, while the firm of
M. A. Hanna & Co. has gained prae-
teal control of the entire output of the
Massillon field
1T is said that constant efforts have
been quietly made recently to unite
the soft coal producers in Indiana and
Illinois. -
Negotiations were commenced sew
eral days ago to effect a consolidation
of the Pittsburg Coal company and the
MononSahela Consolidated Coal & Coke
company, two of the largest producing
concerns in western Pennsylvania,
which control a very large proportion
of the output of the Pittsburg district.
The merging of these two compa-
MES would mean a capitalization of
$4,000, 600, with assets of $120. 0SS, 5S5. A
still larger deal is now said to be con-
templated, in which not only Senator
Hanna, but J. Pierpont Morgan, is re-
puted to have a direct interest,"

MARQUIS DEMANDS BLOOD.

Bruneau and Syveton, to make a de-
mand on NJ. Gerault Richard of the
Petite Republique for reparation for
offensive conduct or retraction of
certain statements made. This appears
to be the preliminary to a duel be-
tween the two men, who are both mem
bers of the chamber of deputies. The
trouble grew out of the MARQUIS De
Dion Shaping NJ Richards face. and
the latter kicked the MARQUIS shins.
The Marquis De Dion's seconds called
at NJ Gerault Richards Office this aft

letter, asking him to fix a meeting

Much interest is felt in the affair
owing to the Marquis De Dion's prom
