Gates Makes Denial.

John w. Gates denies with great ye- hemenee that he has any intention of trying to hold up the steel trust and force it to pay an eXtraVagant price for his Tennessee Coal and Iron and his Republic Iron and Steel companies under threat of demoralizing the iron and steel trade if his demands are not acceded to. Whether he harbors any such inten- tion or not persons intimately connected with the management of the steel trust as well as the banking combination be- hind it believe that MT Gates has such designs and they made plans according ly Whatever may be the background scheme of Mir. Gates and his associates it can set it down as a cold fact that any bluff which he may make looking to trade disturbance as a move to compel the purchase of independent iron com panies will be called" such "calls" to be followed by measures of harsh repri- sal This programme was decided upon sometime ago and in anticipation of an ugly fight between the street trust and the Gates contingent many of the large holders of steel stocks put themselves in shape for battle. Mir. Gates is terribly anxious to make it appear that his in- tentions are peaceful and that he will the "goodest little boy that ever was" Unfortunately he does not always shoot the way he looks and the street has learned to ask for corroboration when he makes one of those solemn state ments.

Money Pressure Relieved.

The pressure on the money market has been relieved by the free liquidation of stocks. An investment demand Is al- ready making itself felt and the slow pro- cess of absorption must soon make marked inroads upon the floating supply of stocks which Is unusually large at this moment. The payment of San Fran cisco fire losses by European insurance companies. the remittanees on account of the Pennsylvania railroad in Paris, and the good prospect of q big export able surplus of our wheat, corn and cot ton have been weakening influences on foreign exchange. A small amount of gold has already been bought in London for import here and more is expected confidently to come soon. We are now getting the gold coming in from the klondike and Alaska. and the season has been so good that a reinforcement of $25,000'000 is generally expected from those quarters before winter Meantime our own domestic production of gold Is piling up at record figures, and the Rand and Rhodesia output of late has shown a decided increase. The federal treasury will call in sl0, 000000 deposits from the national banks from July 10 to 20. but that will easily be replaced, for July is month when the government dis bursements are unusually heavy and ex- penditures may run $15,00O,O00 above re- celpts.

Now that Wall street has taken time to give serious thought to what the ad- ministration and Congress have done. the admission Is shamefacedly made that the results may be for the good instead of for the destruction of vested interests or an attack upon property in any guise
 What has Washington done after all ex- cept to sound q general proclamation on behalf of the whole people that the rich and the mighty and the favored must be honest and fair in their treat ment of the public? Congress has or dained that railroads must cease disc crimnations in the handling of traffic
 that railroad arrangements must be honest to their stockholders whose trus- tees and servants they are, that manu- lecturers of food products and medicines and beverages must cease adulteration and brand their goods for what they are Surely there is nothing in these things of an incendiary nature or serious ly likely to disturb values or impair confidence. The most important Wash ington development having bearing on business affairs and material interests Is the increasing tendency toward federal centralization. and this Is something

SMART OUTLAW WAS GAME
GETS PRICE ON HIS OWN HEAD BY sARgwD TRICK.

Buendia anw Carpio started out to explore the position. Felzardo did not ap- prove of the two men taking guns, but he finally acquiesced. He did not take with him any of his faithful followers but went alone with the two plotters to his death.
 The three men went within 20O0 meters of Camp Hayson, when Felizardo stop ped for a moment under mango tree to rest. and as he squatted down on the ground, both soldiers, as if impened by single thought, aimed their guns at him and pulled the triggers. But Feliz- ardo's time to die had not quite come and the cartridges both failed to ex- plode.
 In this act the terrible tragedy began The man who had terrorized Cavite and Batanzas for years, who had snapped his fingers at all law, realized for the first time that he was in the hands of traitors men who were with him for but one pur- pose-to kill him. It flashed through his frenzied brain that one of these men was his own cousin, mere youth whom he had watched grow up from infancy. whose face was grim with determination He sprang to his feet and grabbed at the gun which Buendia held near his head,
 The two mean realized that they must act quickly. They threw down their guns. Like a bloodthirsty beast of prey Buendla sprang on the neck of Felizardo. while Carpio snatched the outlaws bolo. which hung at his side and thrust it into his stomach three times He did not use great force. for fear the blade would penetrate the body and wound his com panion who was struggling with the man whose life they sought.
 But F Felizardo did not sell his life cheap ly. He fought like a lion at bay. For ten minutes he waged the struggle against such odds with his life's blood squirting in jets from the wounds in his stomach.
 His foot slipped and he fell to the ground. At that moment, Carpio struck him a blow that all but severed his head from the body. He died immediately.
 The rest of the story of how the body was brought to Manila and placed in an undertaker's establishment, and of the final identification by his aged mother and brother. has been told.

Standard After Pennsylvania.

one of the stories flying about Wall street is that the Standard oil interets are campaigning for control of the Penn sylvania with the view ultimately in un- horsing Mir Cassatt and putting man at the head of the system with less imagna- ton and more economy in the matter of expenditure. The Rockefeller influence in Pennsylvania has from the first strongly opposed the enormous outlay planned by
 Mir Cassatt for the construction of termi- nals in New York and elsewhere. They do not see where the road is going to get it's money back and are not in sym pathy with the management at any high point. According to this story Kuhn. Loeb & Co.,. the recognized fiscal agents for the Pennsylvania are occupying a neu- tral position in this contest for control. This great banking house while willing to take it's percentages and commissions on stock and bond issues rather leans to the opinion that the corporation Is going

GRABBED HIS COLLAR.
To Save His Life and Now She Gives
 Him Her Hand.

From the New. York Sun
 Exactly one year ago yesterday Charles Lustg, painter. of 157 Christopher street, Brownsville, fell from q scaffold while at work on d house in Brooklyn. He not only fell from the scaffold. but he fell in love.
 When the rope broke It let him down feet foremost and face to the wall As he shot past the second story window he to grab the sill and hang there for an instant. Just inside the window sat Annie Potter. d pretty seamstress of l2O Boerum street, Brooklyn. She gave q scream as Lustig shot by the window. but when she saw he had hold of the window sill she jumped to his rescue en- tirey needless of the green paint that was dripping from above in showers and ruining her new spring dress. She grab- bed the painter by the collar and with a mighty heave helped him climb through the window to safety
 Lustig was too much unnerved at first to notice anything. But after a bit he was attracted by the soft brown eyes that looked at him so compassonately. Then he noticed the new dress spoiled by the green paint.
 'T1l buy you q new dress, said Charles, gratefully.

Manila (P. I.) Cor. Chicago Inter-Ocean. ! T requires an unusual amount of nerve
 to plan the death of a man who re- sembles you, have his body identified, and collect a reward of $lo00 for the body. Yet that Is exactly what Cornelio Feliz- aFdo, the notorious outlaw of Cavite province, who was killed recently, did sThe true facts surrounding the death of the renegade are just coming to light, and go to make one of the most grew some tales ever penned.
 Several months ago the constabulary re- ported that they had succeeded in pur- suing Felizardo so closely that he jump ed over a high cliff to escape capture and that the body. when taken to Ba- coor. his home, had been positively iden- tified as, that of the bandit by his mother and most intimate friends.
 According to a report 1t transpires that the man did not jump over the cliff at all. He was murdered by order of the real Felzardo, who had the body placed under the cliff and then caused it to be found and identified as his own.
 A reward of 5000 was paid for this DOB us DOuyt dnu IL Has HOW come tO HBHJ that a goodly share Of this small for tune found its way into the coffers of the man who for ten years terrorized the provinces of cavite and Batangas.
 Recently the newspapers have told how the bandit was killed by two scouts, whom Felizardo supposed to be deserters, but 1t has not been told that one of the men was his own cousin, the son of his mothers brother
 This man was Bernardino Carpio. His companion was Gregorio Buendia. These men joined Felizardo. They claimed to be deserters from the constabulary, and so carefully had they concealed their real reason for leaving camp that even the foxy Felizardo was fooled and fell into the trap.
