VATICAN BLAZE|FOR SEPARATION
HALIFAX NEWSPAPERS BEGIN
THE AGITATION.
Declaration Made That the Present
Relations Cannot Much Longer
Exist--Alaska Decision Declared
to Mark the Parting of the
Ways.

Halifax, N. s., Oct. 30.-The declar-
alton that the present relations be-
tween Canada and Great Britain can
not exist much longer is made by the
Halifax Chronicle, tho leading, news
paper supporter in the maratime prov
jnces of the Liberal party. In an I'M
usually outspoken editorial on the
Alaska boundary award, the Chronicle
expresses what it claims to be the
dissatisfaction of Cana
dams at the action of the British gov
eminent in the matter. ~ The paper
SAYS:
"This Alaska episode has made it
clear that our existing relations to the
empire cannot be continued much
longer. We are even now at the part
ing of the ways. Our subordinate po-
sition has been 80 clearly and 80 hu-
miliatingly revealed that it must
speedily become unbearable."
The Chronicle adds that there are
now only two courses open to Canada
complete Legislative independence with
in the empire, acknowledging the SOW
ereignty of the king of England alone,
or the status of an independent nation.
The paper says there is much to
commend the latter step, because it
would free Canada from the dangers of
ever being embroiled with the United
States on account of it's European con-
nection, and at the same time would
secure Tor the Dom inion the benefit of

Sworn to Secrecy.

There is great disappointment at the
failure of the committee to come to
some agreement with the parties in in
terest. The nature of the propositions
suggested by the committee are I'M
known to the pubic, as the members OF
the committee we're pledged to secrecy
during the conference.
Some speculation is INDUCED in as
to whether Governor Toole will call an
extra session of the legislature as re-
ouested by the labor organizations, but
the governor has not volunteered any
information az to what he intends to
do in the premises.
Aside from the proceedings of the
mediation committee the most impor-
tant development in the situation was
the meeting of the committee appoint
ed by the Trades and Labor Assembly
mass meeting with Governor Iooie,
whichw as held at the Thornton hotel.
Governor Toole was handed the reso-
luitons passed at the mass meeting, and
which were in the nature OF an appeal

sion of the legislative for the purpose
of enacting some legislation that WOULD
relieve the Butte situation.

Morgan Paid $5.OOO,OOO.

Receiver Smith pertinently refers to
the payment by Charles M. Schwab, as
principal or agent to ]. P. Morgan OF
$4,000, 900 for the part played by the
latter in negotiating the Bethlehem
deal. Strong doubt is expressed as to
j. P. Morgan & Co. having done any
thing beyond lending it's name to the
negotiations to warrant the payment
OF any such exaggerated bonus.
Another section of the report follows:
"It also would be interesting to know
why or for what purpose some $l5,-
100000 stock of G. M. Schwab and So
100000 stock of j. P. Morgan was to
be marketed in priority by Harris
Gates & Co. Were the principals fear
full that the United States Shipbuilding
securities would declitne before they
realized handsome revenue from their
holdings? There is nothing, 30 far as
the receiver has been able to adduce,
to slow that any proper or fair equiva
lent was given for that $40, OOO,Oo
stock holding and it is strongly recon-
mended that in case the United STATES
court finds to this effect an order be
issued assessing said G. M. Schwap
or ]. P. Morgan or any other interests
sum equivalent to make up such de-
icit."

Butte, Mont, Nov 2.-The commit
tee on mediation, acting at the request
of the Chamber of Commerce of Great
Falls, and with the consent of the rep.
resentatives of the United Copper Com
pany and the Amalgamated Copper
Company, after a session lasting two
days, came to a conclusion that it could
not find any solution of the Butte shut
down situation, gave brief statement
to the public and adjourned cine die.
The statement, issued and:: signed by
the members of the committee, is as
follows:
"Butte, Mont, Oct. 81.
Herbert, Strain, President Great
Falls Business Mems Association-Sir:
We, the undersigned members of the
mediation committee, entered upon the
discharge of our duties realizing the
magnitude and difficulty of our task.
Nevertheless we have labored assidu-
ously to accomplish the purpose OF our
appointment.
"We have failed to obtain stipula-
ton from the parties litigant which
will insure a resumption of work by
the Amalgamated Copper Comany,
and have been unable to devise any
plan looking to that end which does
not involve the mutual consent of the
parties interested.

hope some common ground may yet be
found by the parties themselves upon
which they can stand.

That They Be Assessed.

New York, Nov. 2.-J. Pierpont
Morgan, Charles M. Schwab, Col. J. J.
McCook and other apostles of "mod-
orp" financial methods are arraigned
severely bv Receiver James Smith, Jr.,
in his report of the United States Ship
huilding Company's affairs, which has
been completed for filing with United
States Circuit Judge fitzpatrick in
Trenton.
Receiver Smith states that Charles
NJ. Schwab, J. Pierpont Morgan, Her.
man Satterlee, Morgan's son-in-law,
and several vendors or controlling own
ers for constituent companies received
bonds and stock for which no equiva-
lent was ever paid the United States
shipbuiIding Company. His report
charges that Schwab and Morgan alone
received 500, 100000 preferred and
common stock, for which they abso-
lutely rendered no equivalent. He
strongly recommends that all such hold
ings be assessed at fair estimate on
their face or market value.
He also characterizes as reprehensi-
BILE the secret Morgan Schwab- Harris,
Gates & Co. agreen emit by which the
500, 900, 900 of Morgan and Schwab pre-
ierred and common Shipbuilding stock

ling of various phases of United States
Shipbuilding promotion, and particu-
larly the farcical sale-or loan-of the
Bethlehem Steel Company by Charles
NJ. Schwab.
Receiver Smith goes 80 far as to
strongly intimate that Charles M.
Scbwab was acting simply as an agent
of the Morgan billion.dollar Steel
Trust when he paio 81 100000 for the
Bethlehem plant. The receivership re-
port specially italicises the questiona-
BILE manner in which J. P. Morgan
dominated G. M. Schwab as we'll as
others in the shipyard promotion in
forcing the purchase of the Bethlehem
plant for $1O,0OO,O00 first mortgage

plant-and $40, 900, 900 preferred and

stock. Says the report on this point

100000 in bonds, which had previous
ly been raised from $9,000,000 cash,
to $30,O00.O00 for property which
said G.. M. Schwab had recently pur-
chased at 7,2OO,O 900. 1t is reasonable
to suppose that the original owner or
owners of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany appraised the plant at fair val
lie when it was sold TO United States
Steel interests. So that more than
$20,000,000 of the purchase price paid
such interests by the United States

UNITED STATES BRIEF A STRONG ONE
CANADIAN ATTORNEY BELIEVES
THAT GREAT BRITAIN HAS
A FIGHTING CHANCE.

London, Sept. 3.-The arguments OF
the United States and Great Britain,
based on the cases and counter-cases
In the Alaskan boundary arbitration
already filed, were submitted during
the day by counsel of the two govern
ments to the Alaskan boundary COM
missioners.
One of the Canadian counsel said
after reading the American brief that
it was a strong document but he
thought Great Britain had a fighting
chance.
1t is expected that the next meeting
of the commissioners will be brief and
merely for the purpose of organization
and fixing a date for hearing the oral
arguments, though it is possible that
application relative to matters con-
nected with the general Alaskan ques-
tion may be made at the meeting,
which will be private. 1t will then
be determined if the subsequent meet
ings shall be public or private.

BEATING A SCOOP"
The Way President Hayes Once
Saved q Newspaper Man.

SoFeO u Newspaper Man.
President Hayes was generally count
ed as a cold man by the correspond
ents, but there is one dignifed writer
Of 'brevier matter" who, when a
Washington correspondent, had need
to find vulnerable joint in the presi-
dents armor and succeeded completely.
Then, as now great Gains were taken
to prevent premature publication of the
presidents message. At the same time
twas the custom, which it is not now,
for certain newspapers to print a fore
cast of the message a few days in ad-
vance. One year the correspondent of
". S. Story's Chicago Times learned
late on a Saturday night that the Chi
cago Tribune man had sent an abstract
Of the message by mail for publication
on the following Monday morning. AS
he knew that to be beaten on so i'm
portant matter meant discharge by
the irascible Story, he put in all Of the
following Sunday trying to secure an
abstract for himself At about noon
he got SO close to a printed copy that
he began to have hopes, but they We're

todian thereof refused an offer of ST.

Finally, at about o'clock, the cor
respondent met a senator, great
friend of the president, to whom he
poured out the complete story of his
troubles. The senator didn't believe he
could be Of service, but finally consent
ed to take the correspondent with him
to call upon the chief executive.
At first the president was adamant,
though he, would not deny that the
Chicago Tribune's man had stolen a
march on his rival. At last, being
convinced that failure meant the close
Of his callers journalistic career, Mr..
Hayes said:
II can't send you to any one for a
copy of the message, as you suggest.
You can't be helped by any one but
me, and 1 am crowded for time. But,
under the circumstances, l will outline
the message briefly on condition that
you keep the source of your informa-
ton secret. You must not take notes,

the message in part and that wouldn't

Then for the space of twenty minutes
the president talked steadily, the cor
respondent listening meanwhile as if
his life depended upon Good hearing
and good memory. Tho result was a
column and throe-Guactcys in the Chi

FRENCH OFFICIALS UNEASY.
Action of Turkey in Employing Alba

Paris, Sept. 3.-The officials of the
French foreign Office express consid-
cradle uneasiness at the action of the
Turkish government in sending Alba
MAN troops and militia to the vilayet
of Koshovo. The Albanians are no.
toriously fanatical and the militia are
certainly irritated at beng summoned
to service at the harvest season and
are likely to prove little better.
The fact is that while the powers
are insisting that only regular troops
be employed in suppressing the insur-
rection Turkey is making every effort
to evade the spirit of the understand
ing while following it to the letter,
and is therefore using troops which are
in reality little better than Bashi-Ba-

SCRAMBLE FOR COIN.
National Banks Anxious to Secure
Treasury Deposits.

Washington, Sept. 8. - National
banks all over the country are anxious
to get part of the $40,000,000 which
Secretary Shaw has set aside to de-
post this fall in the event of none
tary stringency. The secretary has
no intention of increasing the deposits
in the banks unless it should become
apparent that the demand for currency
for moving the crops cannot be met
without forcing interest rates up to
an abnornally high level. Many bank
ers have assumed that there is no
question about the money being put
out.
Banks that are now repositories are
sending in applications for increased
deposits and other banks are asking
to be designed as repositories.
