MORGAN'S TALENT
WILL BE UTILIZED IN FORM MING
NEW MERGER.
This Consolidation will Control
Freight aud Passenger Traffic
From Chicago to the south and
Southeast---About 10000 Miles
of Railroad Involved.

New York, July 30.-Work on the
merging OF the 90 900 miles of railroad
lines controlling traffic between the lake
region and the gulf and the lower
Atlantic seacoast is progressing rapidly.
Officials of the various roads. which,
as announced recently, are to be COM
bined into traffic trust of the South,
have been asked to furnish reports of
executive expenses - that is, of the
salaries and other costs of the executive
staffs. These expense rolls of the
different companies will be compared,
and from them will be drawn up new
schedule showing the immense saving
to be achieved by this combine.
The figures will, it is promiesd, be
alluring to the stockholders OF the in
dividual roads, though discouraging to
the hundreds OF employees who will be
found unnecessary by the merging of in
terest. This report and other details
of the consolidation will be completed
before j. Pierpont Morgan returns to
this country and it will remain for him
to finance the deal-a task which he
will undertake with zeal, since its
happy completion will relieve him of a
most embarrassing position arising from
his large holdings in Louisville & Nash
vile and Southern railway stock.
The new consolidation, controlling
freight and passenger traffic from Chi
cage to the South and Southeast, will
be controlled by the Gates Morgan com
bination. +. II. Hartman, although
contributing the Illinois Central to this
great new system, will, it is understood,
continue to devote his interests to the
Northwestern roads. Several of the
smaller roads will practically sell out
to the combination, satisfied with great
ly increased returns on their share OF
the new securities stock as their reward.
Competition has been carefully killed
off by the merging OF the Gould in
terest in the shape of the st. Louis
Southwestern.

SECRET EXPLOSIVE.
War Department Has Formidable
Shell and Fuse.

New York, July 31.-A new time
fuse for use on armor-piercing shells
loaded with recently discovered secret
explosive of great power, has been in
vented by war ordinance experts and
will, according to dispatch from Wash
ington, revolutionize foreign warship
building.
Tests OF the explosive and fuse have
been made and SO long as the United
States government holds the secret
foreign battleships either must double
their steel walls or be as wooden
frigates with the new destroyer.
Gen. Grocer, chief of ordnance, is
quoted as having said that a test of the
new explosive has been conducted with
great success at Sandy Hook proving
grounds, that the shell carried its con-
tents through the thickest armor and
that the fuse lived long enough to have
exploded on the interior of ship of
war. The greatest penetration secured
was that of shell fired from l2-inch
gun. 1t pierced 14-inch Krupp armor
before defamation. The heaviest shield
now in use is said to be only II inches
thick

by Earthquake.

Santa Barbara, Cal, Aug. 2.-The
inhabitants of the little town of Los
Alamos, which has been the center of
seismic disturbances since last Sunday,
are huddled around large bonfire
waiting for daylight to come. Many of
the residents have left for places ont

APPEAL TO COURTS.
Shorts in July Corn Seek the
Aid of the Law to Break
Corner.

Chicago, July 3l.-The ban of the
courts has been placed on July oats.
On the application of Waite, Thoburn
d Co., one of the firms heavily short in
the July option, temporary restrain
ing order was granted by Judge Chy-
traus, in the superior court, prohibiting
James A. Patten and associates from
continuing corner in July oats, and
from bidding up the price of the cereal
in calling for further margins. This is
the first time in the history of the Chi
cago board of trade that dealers who are
short have resorted to the. courts to
assist them in dilemma like the
present, and the injunction came as
decided surprise. although drastic
measures had been threatened to pre-
vent heavy loss. The injunction runs
against Darlington, Patten d Co. Def
ault of 5000. 900 bushels of short new
July oats. law suits and action by the
board of trade are seemingly the in
evitable results of the granting of the
restraining order.
Waite, Thoburn 4 Co., the firm that
requested the injunction, issued the
following statement tonight in explana-
ton of the course they have taken:
'For year or two there has been a
regular epidemic of manipulation and
attempted corners in the market on the
Chicago board, which have inflicted i'm
mense injury on the legitimate grain
interests of this city, and in the country
tributary to Chicago. These attempts
to squeeze the trade have now become
SO extreme and so INSCRIPTIONS that it
has come high time for some one to
make fight and find out where the
trade stands. and whether it is to be for
all time possible for groups of million
aires to turn upside down the grain
business of the country, and infiict
heavy losses on the trade. We have
decided now to make test, and find
out where the trade stands.''

MINERS MIGRATION.
Places the Operators in a Ticklish
Position.

Wilkesbarre, July 3O.-The anthra-
cite coal operators are face to face with
the Mine Workers ultimatum: "Grant
concessions or abandon hard coal min
ing"
This is the meaning of the clause in
the indianapolis plan that each local
union in the regions which are at work
shall appoint committee to obtain
work for as many of the strikers as pos
sible, and that the same be done by all
unoins of the American Federation of
Labor.
The words and actions of the leaders
of the strike empha size it every hour.
Without certiicated miners the oper.
ators cannot work their mines-and the
certifcated miners are going away by
carloads to other coal fields OF labor.
There are $5ll 800, 900 invested in
anthracite coal mines and $50, 900 men
and boys employed. Over AS, 900 adult
miners have already gone and $4,000
more will leave within the next 60 days
To obtain certificate permitting him
to mine coal a man must have worked
in the mines at least two years and
pass an examination before board
provided by the state. Only small
percentage of miners that the operators
can import can meet these tests.
If the soft coal operators are governed
by the request of the anthracite men
and blacklist the anthracite strikers
who apply at their collieries for work,

STRIKERS WON.
Alaska Salmon Fishermen Gained
Concessions.

Concessions.
Seattle, Aug Information OF a
private nature has reached here from
Bristol Bay, Alaska, giving the details
of strike among the fishermen OF that
place last month involving 700 men.
Fourteen canneries and fish packing
establishments were involved After a
hot fight lasting five days. in which
many threats of violence were made by
the strikers, the employers acceded to
their demands, although by SO doing
the cost of the fish was increased over
100 per cent.
The strikers chose the most Oppor-
tune time for their strike. 1t was at
the time when the Alaska red salmon,
the choicest OF the fish produced in
Northern waters, was at its height.
The employers at first refused to grant
the demands of the strikers, which was
for an increase of from 2 to 3 cents for
red and a payment of cents for dog
salmon, which the cannery men have
heretofore rejected.
As matter of fact, the dog salmon
are practically valueless, but as the
strikers won the cannerymen must pay
2 cents for every fish of this species
taken by the gill meters. This, in
effect, brings the cost of the red salmon
to the Gamers up to 6 cents, which is
we'll nigh prohibitive price under
present market conditions.
The Gamers lost between $500, 900
and $780, 600 by reason OF the strike.
The loss in the pack during the five
days of the duration OF the strike was
not less than 100. 900 cases. This is
the estimate placed on the loss by we'll
posted local fish packers and is corrob-
Grated by advices from Bristol Bay.

sUNCO GAME.
Believed May YOhc and the Captain
Worked Mrs. Strong.

New York, July 81 .-There is a grow
ing belief that May Yohe and Captain
Strong understand each other better
than is generally supposed.
That the entire scandal was pre-
arranged plan to loot Strongs mother
and millionaire sister is looked upon as
being the truth.
Miss Yohe cabled to Liverpool before
she left New York, saying she wonld
want staterooms for two on the earliest
boat leaving for Yokohama.
This, combined with statement of
the shrinking value of her diamonds
from $780, 900 to $4,000 directly the
money was paid by Mrs. Strong, would
indicate that pretty clear understand
ing must exist between them.
