Canadians Will Take 1t.

Already there is a growing belief that
Francis p. Clergue, the original pro-
moter of this gigantic enterprise, has
organized a syndicate of wealthy Ca
madam capitalists who stand prepared
to buy in the property when it is put
up at public sale. 1t is understood that
these capitalists believe they will re-
ceive some support from the Canadian
government in running the works.
The directors of the company, after
a two hours meeting in New York gave
up the attempt to find some plan for
saving the properties of the company,
which arc in the hands of Speyer u Co.
as collateral for the loan of 5000, 600
made some time ago, and announced
that the stockholders are at the mercy
of the banking firm.
With the announcement of this de-
cision came also practical acknowl-
edgment that they believed that their
plans for financing the company had
been blocked at every point by rival
steel companies in the United States.
After the meeting Vice President
Sanborn said:
Nothing has been done, because
there was nothing that could be done.
We did not come here to consider any
plan that had been formulated. We
came here to try to find one, and we
did not. No feasible plan was pre-
sented. The directors can do nothing.
The whole situation is now in the hands
of Speyer & Co. The directors can only
wait and see what Speyer & Co will
do"

Last night five ragged, but honest men,
called at the city Jail and asked for bed
for the night. Jailcr Levy gave them the

needed any laborers.

This morning when the five ragged men

they left the jail.
The names Of the men for whom Sol
Levy found jobs, are: Milton Wilson,

It's safe guess that II they had their
way about the matter Sol Levy would live
