Tilford, the governments the integral companies The dividends the gravamen of the governments charge that only a pseudo-liquidation was effected and that the trust con tinued as an entity and under the same control as at the time of its inception in 1882 has been proved.
 MT. Kellogg was able to develop that the liquidating trustees and their asso- ciates liqudated only enough trust cer- tfcates to give them a majority of the stock of the 20 subsidiary companies, or that they voted these stocks as individuals and maintained a constant control over plus funds was leStlHed 10 lOudy Dy NIT. declared on the stocks of these com panies were paid directly to those holders who had liquidated the trust certificates or to the trustees who held the stocks against the unliquidated certificates of the trust. Mr. Kellogg showed that the trustees and one or two associates were the only certificate holders who liquidated their shares in the old Standard oil trust
 MT. Tllford testified that the cross-town pipe line under Central park, whose ownership has caused considerable per- plexity to the federal counsel when 1t did not appear on the books of the Stan dard oil company of New York after 19o6 was still owned by the New York company.
 Mr. Ks,losg again tried to find put the reasons for the large loans, amounting to several millions given to P. S. Trai- nor by the Southern Pipe Line company. Efforts to ascertain the nature of these loans at previous hearing failed.

Pamphlet Is Circulated On the Negro Question Providing For Negro Bishops For the Raace-ln
 terestina Session.

Richmond. Va. October 9.-The sixth days session of the Episcopal eonven- ton was one of intense interest for important matters were discussed in both the upper and lower houses, while an interesting missionary meeting was held by the womans auxiliary. The most important action taken by the house or bishops was in voting down the motion made by the Bishop of Albany, nak- ing still more stringent canons on mar riage and divorces. The bishops decided that during thls convention no change would be made in the canons on this subject which are now in effect.
 The entire day was spent In a discus sion of the preamble offered by pr. Hunt ington of New York and approved by by the committee on canons. Amend ments without number were offered to this preamble, the most important of which was the substitution of the words '.'rhe word of God instead of the words as offered in pr. Huntington's preamble, 'frhe record of Gods revelation of Him self in His Son"
 At the end of the days session the preamble had been amended so that d vote was ready to be taken. but on ae- count of the objection of the Rev. pr. Roberts of Fond Du Lac. this important matter was postponed until Friday morn ing in order to allow Dr. Huntington an opportunity to be present. The im- mense offering, which was announced tonight, amounted to s775,e00.
 In the house of deputies a pamphlet was circulated on the negro question, embracing resolution of the Arkansas delega ton, providing that negro bishops be appointed to preside over the negro race; that these bishops be not eligible to seats in the general convention, and that the negroes have a separate conven- tion The subject will be considered tomorrow. 4s

IRON PRODUCTION
 CONTINUES GOOD
WEEKLY OUTPUT IS ACTUALLY MAKING GAINS-STEEL TRUST MILLS BREAK ALL RECORDS IN MAKING INGoTS.

Cleveland October 9.-fSpeeial)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: Many false rumors have been in circulation concerning the proposed blowing out of blast furnaces and con templated discharge of a large number of employees by various manufacturers and concerns. The United States Steel corporation Is still needing all the iron il can make, and this is true of practically all of the large producers. While some furnaces may be blown out for repairs during the present month, our statistics show that pro duction is keeping up remarkably well through the dull period, the average daily production being only about l5o tons less in September than in August, while october 1 there was 326 stacks in blast. loss of only one stack, as compared with September l.
 II .s not. of course probable that furnaces will accumulate iron to any great extent unless the market in- proves, but there Is no prospect of a sharp curtailment of production. The steel corporation has not laid off thous- ands of men as reported, and does not expect to do so, nor has the Pressed Steel Car company, which has ercentlY taken orders for about 5000 cars and needs more man.
 It Is understood that there is dead- lock between the railroad interests and steel manufacturers concerning the specifications of steel rails. the for mer holding out for reduction of the phosphorous content form 0.0l0 per cent to o.00s5 per cent to which de- mand a very proper reply has been made by the steel intersts, that such reduction would be q ph yscal impossi- bility, because neither the present nor prospective ore supply will make 1t possible to manufacture in sufficient quantities to meet the demand.
