STEEL TRUST DIRECTORS
AFTER COREYS SCALP

New York, July 29.-Persistent and
apparently well authometical rumors
are circulating on Wall Street today
to the effect that William Ellis Corey,
who recently returned from his Eu-
ropean honeymoon with his chorus girl
bride, will be asked to resign from the
presidency of the "steel trust at the
meeting Of the directors tomorrow
Alleged business derelictions, coupled
with the international scandal due to
Corey's matrimonial alliance with Ma
belle Gilman, are said to be the reas-
ons for the prospective actions of the
steel magnates.
Since the first Of the year Corey has
spent but three of the seven months
at HIS office. Prior to his marriage to
Miss Gilman, he was absent from duty
much Of the time, counting the fair
actress, and his honeymoon was ex-
tended far beyond the limits organ
ally set. When he sailed for Europe
with his bride last May it was under
stood that he would be back at his
desk at II Broadway by the latter part
of last month. Judge Gary, chairman
of the executive committee, was forced
to twice postpone his summer vacation
by reason of Corey's failure to return
at the expected time.
Many of the steel magnates who up
held Corey during the storm of crit
ism which rained upon him at the time
of his marriage, threatening to sweep
him from his 100000 position, have
now turned against him as result OF
his apparent inattention to the affairs
of the great corporation. While Corey
processes to be certain of holding his
position, 1t is almost certain that a
warm fight will be waged against him
at tomorrow's meeting by the disgrunt
led ones who are seeking his scalp.

KNEW OF BURIED TREASURE.

The death in Chichester recently OF
Admiral H. st. L. Palliser removes one
of the holders of the secret" of the
buried treasure on Cocos Island, to re-
cover which pretty nearly it's full al
legged value has been spent When he
was on her majesty's ship Imperious
he made the first of long series of
Intellectual efforts to recover the
treasure, the last of which was made
by Earl FitZwi!liam year and a halt
ago. Some of the members of this ex-
petition were injured by a blast it was
said, but there were apparently well
based stories af1oat that Earl Fitz-
williams party had come into armed
conflict with a rival searching party.
The only man to discover any of the
buried treasure of Cocos was a man
named Keaton, who found jewels worth
about $4,000 He gave his secret to a
Captain Hackett, who, in turn, be-
queathed it to Admiral Palliser.

NO NIGHTINGALEs IN SCOTLAND

century ago patriotic Scot, Sir
John Sinclair, tried to establish the
nightingale in Scotland. He commits
stoned a London dealer to purchase
nightingales' eggs at the liberal price
of a shilling each. These We're WEI
packed in wool and sent to Scotland by
mail coach. A number of trustworthy
men had previously been engaged to
take especial care of all robins nests
in places where the eggs could be
Matched in safety. The robins eggs
were removed and replaced by those of
the nightingale, which We're Matched
and reared by their foster mothers. The
young nightingales, when they were
full fedged, seemed perfectly at home
near the places where they first saw
the light, and in September, the usual
period of migration, they departed But
the nightingales never returned to
Scotland.

STRANGE BEASTS OF BURDEN

Writing to the Boston Transcript OF
scenes in Rolivia-the Hermit Republic
the Rev. DR.. Francis E. Clark, OF
Christian Endeavor fame, tells of the
Iamas, the principal beasts Of burden
of the country. They are a little
larger than a donkey" says Dr. Clark,
and are Of almost all shades-huff,
black, white, reddish and mixed coIors.
They partake of the natures of the
camel and the sheep, for their wool is
good for clothing and their backs are
easily bent to the burden. They will
plod along at the rate of fifteen miles a
day for weeks, with a load Of hun
dred pounds tied to their backs, never
asking for drink of water, and con-
tent to board themselves on the grass
and moss and leaves they can find by
the roadside. Their only vice is an I'M
pleasant habit of splitting an evil smell
ing saliva when provoked or frightened,
but even this habit they indulge in sell
most gentle, attractive and beautiful
creatures I have ever seen. They are
almost as useful as the reindeer to the
Laps, for the flesh is good for food the
wool for clothing, the hide for foot
wear, and the bones for looms and
spindles. A llama can be bought for

HOW TO GROW PEANUTS.

DIR. Edward F. Bigelow tells in the
May number of Suburban Life how
to grow peanuts. A small bed may be
started in any back yard. Shell the
raw and unroasted peanuts and plant
them early in May. Cover the seeds
with about an inch and a half of soil.
One may gather a handful of the
growing peanut stalks and pull up the
mass with the underground stems and
nuts, much the same as one may pull
up a ''hill'' of potatoes with the tangle
of underground stems and clinging
tubers.

ARMY KNOWS NO COLOR LINE.

The Twenty-fourth United Ctates
infantry has been assigned to Fort
Ontario and Madison Barracks. which
are the army posts at OswegO and
Watertown, New York. Now, the
Twenty-fourth infantry happens to be
a colored regiment and by reason Of
that fact the respective social sets of
the towns named are having spasms
and getting up protests. General Oil
yer. who IL secretary OF war during
Secretary Tafts absence--which is
nearly all the time-was interviewed
on the subject the other day, and he
said:
80 far as the war department is
concerned the Twenty-fourth regi-
ment Is simply the Twenty-fourth reg
lment and we take no cognlzance OF
the fact that the enlisted men In 1t are
negroes. IL receives It's orders and
does its tour OF duty the same as any
other regiment We have received no
protests against stationlng the regi-
ment at Oswego and Watertown. and
no heed will be given to such protests
II they are made. our experience has
been that the colored regiments cause
no trouble at the posts where they are
stationed II they are fairly treated.
We have found that as rule they are
better disciplined than the white regi-
ments. that there Is a larger percent
age OF enllstments among them and
fewer desertlons. Whenever on duty
they have always shown great brav-
cry.
The Twenty-fourth infantry has
been assigned to Fort Ontario and
Madison Barracks because Of the fact
that the Twenty-thlrd Infantry now
at these posts, is going to the Philip
pines, and the colored regiments since
their organization have been stationed
at posts east OF the Mississippi They
have always had the more undeslr-
able stations. although there has new
er been an attempt made to dlseriml-
nate against them; II has simply been
their misfortune incident to the SER
vice. Now the regiment is to be
brought home and in the regular
course OF assignments Is 10 go TO New
York posts. That IL all there is to the
matter and they will remain at these
stations during the regular tour Of
duty"
