NEW HAVEN AND b. & NJ.
Nothing Done at the New Haven Directors
Meeting Yesterday. ,

The New Haven directors adjourned yes
terday their regular monthly meeting,
which as usual occupied two days, with
out giving formal consideration to the plan
for the acquisition Of the Boston and Maine.
This lack OF formal action was expected,
for. as stated in THE Sun yesterday, con-
siderable time will be necessary for the
formulation Of a definite plan that can be
formally laid before the directors. ..
There was informal discussion Of the plan
among the directors and the opinion was
expressed that the arrangements were
progressing as satisfactorily as could be
expected. The action Of the New York
Central and other Eastern trunk lines in
giving consent to the consolidation Of the
two systems, il was said, indicated that
the negotiations would eventually terminate
successfully.
After the directors meeting President
Charles s. Mellen said that an arrangement
with Boston and Maine was not considered
nor was there any proposition 70 be con-
sidered Of suoh q character. He did not
deny that negotiations we're in progress.
II the negotiations proceed as smoothly
as is expected by some Of the interests in
the two systems IL may be possible to draw
up a formal proposition and submit IL to

The strong statistical position OF all base
metals that has endured for weeks still domi-
mates the international markets. In leRiti-
mate business betw cen producers, distribu-
tors and consumers. the upward trend In
pig iron that marked the beginning Of the
past " eek produced a stimulating Ell ect upon
the markets for several other metals. The
petty manipulators of a scRnt handful OF
copper warrants based upon a few wagon
loads Of low grade copper in London ware
houses went through some OF the figures Of
market manipulation In their lillputian man
per last W eek, but the movement had no more
effect upon the legitimate markets abroad or
here than the playing OF a game Of marbles by
newsboys in front Of the Stock Exchange
has upon the quotations for industrial stocks.
In the domestic copper market there were
a number OF rolnd sales OF lake and electro
lytic through the week at prices unchanged
from the previous week: Lake, 2oc.; cleo

The movement going on in Germany for
the formation Of a high class metal exchange
in which the memb ership will be composed
of the very. flower of the metal trades Is
shaping forth to work in a bond of fellowship
with similar organizations to be formed In
other parts Of Europe and in this country.
The low character OF the persons who manipu-
late certain so-called metal exchanges to the
purposes Of shady spectators has SO dis
gusted reputable metal producers. jobbers
and consumers the world over that the move
ment to bring about a chain OF high class
metal exchanges is meeting with powerful

NO HOMESTAKE DIVIDEND.
Mini Is Being Flooded to Put Out a Per.
ststent Fire.

The Homestske Mining Company. in
which the Hearst estate is largely inter-
ested, has announced the temporary sus-
pension Of the monthly dividends on account
Of a fire which was discovered in the mine
GA March IS. An efforts 10 extinguish it
were unsuccessful and on April 20 1t was
decided TO food the mine. The circular
issued TO the directors by President j. b.
Haggin says that by June they hope to
renew operations on a small scale.
The Homestake Mining Company was
Incorporated in 1877. The mine is in the
Black Hills district Of South Dakota. 1t
has paid dividends up TO nearly the full
amount OF its capital, which is almost $22,-
10000, and this Is the first time in twenty
eight years that a dividend has been passed.
oy June / the water will have reached
the required level and the streams can be
turned out OF the mine for the use of the
mills and as many stamps will be started
as can be furnished with ore from the sur
lace openings. BY the middle OF July the
water will be let down to the 500 foot level
and the rest OF the 1000 stamps will be
operated. After that the operation Of the
lower levels will be gradually begun. as the
conditions permit.
The circular adds that there is twenty
years OF ore in sight and that the company
owes,Uothing. The ~unwaterinR will not be
expensive and will be taken care of by
iunds IN the treasury.

TANenE OF ITALIAN LAW.
Tnnssunt MAJ IN Prisoh Ter Burglary with
cut HOne-Nan Who Caafeases Free.

Inn0eent Man IN PFlsoh fer Burglary With
cut Hspe-AEan Who Ceafesses Free.
RoMR, April sO.-A striking example OF
the arbitrary and insufficient methods OF
Italian legal procedure has been lately
Afforded in a'case which has been dragging
before the courts since 1899. About ten
years 4 a burglary was committed near
Rordighera and the suspicious Of the police
fell on a certain Giovanni SemaTia, native Of
the ~neighboring village Of Coldirodi. The
Mayor Of Coldirodi informed the police that
nobody answering to the name belonged to
the place, but that there was one Antonio
Scenario who had emigrated to France.
Antonio Scenario was accordingly indicted
for the crime, A trial was held In the absence
Of the accused and ended in his conviction.
He was sentenced 70 four years hard laber
In 1866 Antonio Scenario returned to Italy.
He was Immediately arrested and sent to
prison to serve the sentence passed In his
absence. ..
The unfortunate man protested his inuo-
oenoe and he invoked an alibi which should
have convinced even the most hard hearted
Judge. He furnished proof that he could
not possibly have committed the burglary
for the simplebut convincing reason that at
the time he was serving q sentence Tor q
crime Of a similar nature committed in
France. t,t.-, s'.
He lodged an appeal against the Italian
sentence, but as five years had passed since
IL had been pronounced the Judges OF APP
peal ruled that according TO the law Of
criminal procedure they we're not allowed
to take cognizance OF new evidence bearing
on the case which had been closed and that
ever II they were convinced Of his innocence
the sentence could not be quashed. Nor
could the mar hope for a royal pardon, as ho
was not a frat offender but a notorious jail
bird.
Meanwhile the real burglar, Giuseppe
Scenario, was arrested. He was tried and
pleaded guilty but invoked the statute Of
limitations and VAS set free at once. This
anomaly impressed the Italian Bench and
the caae was sent before the High Court OF
Cessation. Very likely the law OF pro-
oedure will oppose a third hearing Of the
case, but even ff some way out OF the laws
intricacies il found Antonio Scenario Will
not regain his liberty at once as fully two
years will be required for the hearing Of the
case. ~
A reform of the law is under, study, but I
is not likely that Parliament will sanction 10
before at least another two years. When
Antonio Scenario win be set free he will
have served the full term Of imprisonment,
nor can he hope for compensate or dam
ages az these are not permitted by the law
of procedure. '

lions. The reliable Southern pig iron makers
who throughout the past twelve months
have maintained their products at rig ht
standards and who have kept their contracts
made at the low prices OF several months

soon have none but small tonnages for the

PENNSYLVANIA ORDERS RAILS.
Half From U. s. Steel and Half From Three
Smaller Companies.


The P~ennsylvani Railroad Company
has placed orders for 142. 600 tons Of steel
rails for 1905 delivery, giving half the order
to the United States Steel Corporation and
dividing the remainder among the Penn
sylvania, Cambria and Laokawanna COM
panies. The rails, it was said yesterday,
will be made by the bessemer process and
according to improved specifications drawn
up by the late President Cassatt.
The Pennsylvania order was considered
significant yesterday as a~ccentuating the
difference of opinion among railroad men
over the quality of rails at present turned
out and as bearing upon the differences
of opinion respecting the open hearth and
bessemer process. The Pennsylvania
order for bessemer rails about equalized
that given to the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company by the Union Pacific for rails Of
the open hearth variety.
Operating men Of the Pennsylvania were
reported as agreeing generally with Judge
Gary's statement that the increase of break
age such as f. H. Hartman called attention
IN at the Union Pacific meeting Thursday
was due TO the greater weight OF the loco
motives and other rolling stock and to the
increase of speed. II was estimated in
some quarters that the weight OF locomo-
tives and cars has increased about so per
cent. in the last ten years and that speed
has improved TO about the same extent.
Officials of other lines are quite as posi-
tive in the opinion that the breakage is
due TO defects in the rails and the differences
Of opinion seem likely TO revive an old dis
oussion. 1t is not believed that the dis
cussion will end with the conclusion OF the
conferences between the committee OF the
America NJ Railway AaEnaiptinn md tho
committee Of manufacturers. II any real
improvement, either in specifications or in
manufacture is TO be secured, a we'll known
engineer said yesterday. the matter should
be referred TO the American Society OF
Civil Engineers and the American Society
