SCHWAB May RESUME
Likely to Be Again President
Of the Steel Combine.
CONTRACT PERMITS HIM TO DO SO.

A New story Regarding the Much
Discussed Topic Of Mr.. schwnb'a
saIary-"Minion Dollars Year,
Was Really Million In rive Years.
There has been much speculation in
Pittsburg, says dispatch from that
city, as to what position Charles NJ,
schwab holds now toward the United
States Steel corporation Recently be
was quoted as having said that as soon
as be regained his health he would
against assume his position as presi-
dent This remark, coming 50 soon
after his resignation, has caused many
to wonder
When ar schwab accepted the presi-
dency Of the Steel corporation, it is de
clared the authorities here, he did So
with the agreement that he was to con
tinue as such Cor Eve years and was to
receive 100000 a year as salary.
When the arrangements had been com
pleted and Mr. Carnegie learned that
he was scheduled TO receive only $780,
600 for his work, it is asserted Mr..
Carnegie remarked that he would make
1t an even million, adding $4,000 a
year. 1t is said that this act Of Mr.
Carnegie led to the persistent rumors
that the president of the Steel corpora
ton received 81, 100000 a year
Mr.. Carnegie still believes In Mr..
Schwab, ii is further declared. Hence
when the latter wanted TO resign he
persuaded Mr.. Carnegie TO select his
friend and fellow worker, President
Corey, rather than intrust the presi-
dency to those more familiar with the
affairs in New York
James Gayley, first vice president Of
the Steel corporation, had been one Of
Andrew Carnegies Young partners, vet
Mr. Corey was selected over him as
president, Mr. Gayley and Mr. schwab
did not work as closely together in Car
negle's harness as did AIessrs. Schwab
and Corey. Mr. Gayley attended to the
ore properties, the steamships, rail-
roads and gas and coal properties
while Messrs. Schwab and Corey as
cended step by step from the blast fur
mace to the finishing mills,
Many guesses have been made as to
how much salary Mr.. Corey receives.
Nothing official has been learned here,
where there are SO many men In close
touch with doings in the trust.

In 1874 Lord Dsraeli, then prime
minister, appointed Lord Salisbury sec.
rotary Of state for India. They had
been bitter political antagonists and
Lord Salisbury had some doubt about
the proprlety Of taking office under
chief he had SO frequently attacked
but on the advice OF Mr.. Gladstone he
accepted it. 1t was soon after their
reunion in Downing street that the
Tory chief described his colleague as
"a great master Of gibes and aouts and
jeers. Lord Salisbury took the de
scrlption without offense, and Disraeli
afterWard amply atoned for it by pub
lie expressions Of consideration. II
was time for strong man At the
head Of Indian affairs. There was
famine in India. Salisbury grasped the
situation with ability He adopted
Lord Northbrooks policy with regard
to the expectation Of Indian grain IN
spite Of its unpopularity, persuaded
parliament to make d loan Of 10000
coo and chartered steamers TO convey
food to the distressed districts
Even up to the beginning Of his last
sickness Lord Salisbury was a tlreless
worker. He was interested practically
in chemistry and electricity, and ap-
piled it himself to bis estate, Hatfield
House, and elsewhere. He had pri-
waite chemical laboratory, where he
spent much time. Several Of his public
addresses showed his lively interest In
science, such as that ait the opening
OF the electric railroad In Liverpool In
1893 and at the meeting Of the British
association in Oxford in 1894, over
which he presided
Writing Of this phase Of Lord Sails
bury, the late Julian Ralph said about
a year ago:
Very pleasant to him are the hours
he spends in his laboratory which Is
said to be unsurpassed in completeness
and modernness by any private labo-
ratory in England From his youth he
has had a bent for this work and IN
physics especially he has attained such
knowledge as to be sought for counsel
and discussion by some Of the greatest
minds in that field 1t is even said
Of him that If he had not been a great
statesman he would have been a
greater scientist
aThe reason that he has written and
spoken very little upon scientific sub
iects is that because Of his modesty
and because Of his association with
many brilliant lights in science he per
haps too fully realizes that other men
have a better right than he to discuss
in public those matters in which ho
feels himself TO be only a student"
