BIG MINES EAT UP SMALL ONES
Independent Anthracite Concerns to

pOratiOns.

SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 5.-Recent evenes
have given ground for the belief that the
result of negotiations in progress will be
the ultimate sale of the properties Of indi-
vidual operators to the large coal carrying
companies.
This will not be done at once, but it is
regarded here as certain to come in the
not distant future, because it is believed
to be the only solution of the situation and
the outcome which both the independents
and the large companies desire.
The collieries Of the sixty-seven inde-
pendent operators can be purchased, 1t is
said, for $147. 100000 These collieries pro-
duce three-tenths OF the total output Of coal.

LORD cRANBoRN's STATEMENT
England Anxious to Publish the offi-
 Icial Correspondence.

London, Jan. 24.-The Times. in an edi- torial says that the eagerness Of the semi official press of the continent to dis credit Lord Cranborne's statement seems likely to defeat him. The Americans, says The Times. with their usual good sense, are not disposed to bear per- manent grudge against the governments and the peoples who misjudged the situ- pticn and espoused the losing cause in the Spanish-American war They are quite ready to be friends. but they know the facts and do not care to be taken for fools.
 There is only one way in which the statement of Lord Cranborne can be im- pugned. That is by the production of the official correspondence. M. Hanataux, ex-French Minister of Foreign Affairs, is said to be anxious for this course and Great Britain will be equally ready to publish the correspondence but cannot do so without the sanction of the other pow CTS concerned. Until evidence to the con- trary be forthcoming, the American pub lie seems likely to remain convinced that Great Britain alone showed a practical and effective friendship to their country in the day of her trial.
 "We do not pretend that England was actuated wholly by sentiment says The Times. Our interests were on the side of America, and We had sagaclty enough to understand that this was the case. At the same time sentiment entered largely into our motives. We were honestly glad to do the United States a service at a critical time. They have already recog- nized that and will recognize 1t still more when the details of the negotiations come to be known"

TO STEAL 200, GOO TONS OF STEEL
Unique Conspiracy Charged Against
 A Frenchman.

Chicago, Jan. 2A-A conspiracy by which the steel trust was to have been defl auded out of 2O0.000 tons of steel is charged against Charles Jules Francis. alias Count de Neufchateau, who was arrested here Monday for alleged failure to pay hotel bill.
 Francis, who first said he was French Count then that he was the son or a wealthy Belgian contractor, has been negotiating with the officials of the American Steel and Wire Company for more than d month. The local company. being but branch of the trust, and referred to headquarters his proposals to purchase a great amount of material on payment of only a fraction of the total price and it is said the deal was just about to be closed when his arrest came.
 The steel. the pseudo nobleman said. was for the use of the French govern ment. which he declares to be repre- senting on a secret mission to buy sup plies for the army. The steel was to be used, Francis said, in the manufacture of rails, the making of armor for bat tleships and by the engineer corps, in which he claimed to have the rank or brigadier general, for wires and appl- ances for battle field operation.
 Francis had what he said were ere dentials from the French army. The French Consul in Chicago has declared that the seals borne by these letters were not genuine.
