The principal feature of the pro-
gramme in the house this week will
be the bill to place three new stars in
the American flag. The omnibus bill
for the admission of Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Arizona to statehood will
be called on Tuesday. The friends of
the bill do not desire protracted debate
on it, and will try to secure vote on
that day
There is much opposition TO the bill
on the Republican side of the house.
on the ground that the territories are
not yet fitted for statehood.
Republicans this week will relieve
the Democrats of the necessity of sup
plying all the speakers in the senate
on the present Philippine government
bill. The events of last week caused
them to decide to take part in the de-
bate, and they will lead off when the
bill shall be laid before the senate.
Other measures which will receive
attention during the week are the sun
dry civil appropriation bill and the bill
providing for the opening to settlement
of the Rosebud Indiana reservation in
| South Dakota.

transatlantic steamship combination
to the list of great concerns he has pro-
NOTED and financed, the total capital
of the companies and trusts he controls
was swelled to S5, 5,2lo, ,993, 3s6. He has
large interests in concerns he does not
pretend to control, and, therefore, the

Mr.. Morgan and six other Amer ican
citizens have now become more power
full than any congress or parliament
in the world. Fourteen steamship
lines and forty-four railroads are
theirs. On land mileage of i0s,5oo
and on sea tonnage Of 100000 are
in their control. Three hundred of
the largest steamships in the world
and 80, 600 of the best-equipped passen-
ger and freight trains take orders from
them. This railway mileageis greater
than the combined mileage of Great
Britain, Russia, Germany, Spain, Hol-
land and Belgium. And more than 300
vessels, which will sail under it's
orders, cannot be duplicated from the
merchant marine of every ocean.
While Mr.. Morgan Is not personally
worth perhaps not more than hun
dred million of dollars, corporations
over which he has control possess more
wealth than there is gold on the earth.
