AN OPEN FIGHTER.

The simple fact is that there is a
great controversy pending, and that
the President Of The United States is
so placed that he has almost countless
avenues Of information, both official
and private, as to what is going on in
the. camp of the enemy. For a great
many years past the politics Of almost
every State in the Union has been
more or less completely controlled by
railroads and other large corporations,
or else by political bosses using money
contributed from corporate sources. In
the great fight for the public regula,
ton Of railroads and Industrial corpor.
atoms the government has been very
active through the Department Of JUS
tice, the new Department Of Com.
merce. and the Interstate Commerce
Commission. 1t would be too much to
expect that the great corporations,
commanding control of thousands of
millions of dollars Of capital, and ably
served everywhere in the country by
legal. political, and business agents,
should not have been very actively at
work to Withstand the attempts of con.
gress. the administration, and the
courts to bring them under regulation
and restraint. But, as every one
knows, the political methods Of the
railroads and corporations have al
ways been mysterious and secretive
rather than open. Mr.. Rooseyelt's
method, on the other hand, is always
that Of the open attack and the frank
appeal to public opinion. His message
was evidently intended to arouse the
interest and curiosity of the country,
and to subject to suspicious scrutiny
in all localities the political methods
employed by corporate interests The
newspapers in this country that are
directly or indirectly controlled by the
great corporations are Of considerable
number, and their attitude toward the
administration is one OF the things
the President evidently wishes the
public to understand. - From THE

can Review of Reviews for March.

STEEL MEN IN CONFERENCE
Subject Under Discussion Supposed
to Be Reduction in Price
of Rails.

New York, Jan. 3O.-About seventy
steel men, representing the United
States Steel corporation, the Republic
Steel company. the Bethlehem Steel
company, the Jones & L.aughIin Steel
company and the Pennsylvania Steel
company, were in conference in this
city today and tonight. 1t was an hour
after midnight when the conference
finally broke up. None of those pres
ent would talk. but it was said unoffi-
cially that Mr. Morgan had made an
address, which he finished at about II
o'clock and then went home. Ex-JudEe
Gary, it was said, would probably give
out a statement tomorrow.
1t was also stated unofficially that
the subject which had kept the steel
men in conference so long was a pro
posal Ito reduce the price of steel in
general, and particularly the price of
steel rails because it is feared that in
view of the financial depression the
railroads would not buy rails this year
and would postpone their extensions
unless the price of steel was placed low
enough to make it an object for them
to buy now

that he must have been SO insane as

know what the police officers wanted
with him when he voluntarily surren-

Through the efforts of this commit

to meet the current bills of these lines,
provided bonds of each were pooled on
Oct. g. The floating indebtedness of
the Consolidated Steamship was COM

number of bills and instaliments on
steamships in course of construction
coming due, notably $3.50 600 on Jan. /,
1903. and 5000. 900 on Jan. 1, 1909. This
years claim was paid, but it came from
the earnings of the company for the
previous year, leaving so much less
for coming operating expenses. This
lack of money in the treasury during
the past few weeks necessitated post
pOnement of payment of comparative
ly small bills. and finally resulted in
the application for a receiver today

to the corporation.

tue of an act of parliament, and there

SUIT is FRIENDLY.
Security Holders Expect Better Pro
lection Under ReceiVership.

New York. Jan. 30.-Application has
been made in Maine, Boston and in this
city for the appointment of a receiver
for the Consolidated Steamship COM
pany. A representative of the bond
holders protective committee said that
the suits have been brought by credit
ors who are not unfriendly to the COM
pany and that it is believed a receiver
ship will best protect the security hold
ers and other interests concerned.
1t is also announced that the pro-
ceedings do not affect the Clyde, NAL
lory, New York & Porto Rico or New
York & Cuba lines, the resources of
which are considered to be ample. The
lines affected principally are the Met
rOpolitan and Eastern Steamship COM
panies.
Proceedings in Maine.
The proceedings will come up before
the United States circuit court in Maird
on Feb. 4, when application for the ap-
pOintment of a receiver will be decid-
ed. The lines for which receivership
is asked are the Consolidated Steamship
line, a Maine corporation. which is the
holding company, and for the Metro
politan and Eastern Steamship compa-
MES.
The Consolidated Steamship conlpa-
was formed by Charles w Morse to
carry out his plans looking 10 the con-
troll of practically all coast steamship
business. The aggregate capitalization
of the company consists of $50, 600 600
collateral trust per cent bonds and
an equal amount of stock, making the
grand total S121, .OO0.
Panic Finished Morse.
Up to within a comparatively few
months the ambition of Morse appear
ed to be in fair way toward realiza-
ton. One after another, half a dozen
of the big companies which operated
steamship lines along the Atlantic
coast and from New York to Cuba and
Porto Rico had come under his direct
command. With the financial crash of
October. however, support was with
drawn from his steamship enterprise.
and talk of a reorganization gained
wide circulation. As a result OF the
troubles which came to the big holding
company the January interest on the
$50, 100000 issue of collateral bonds was
not paid.

JOINED BRIGADE
OF UHEMPL OyEO
John Burns Given Bowl of Soup
and Piece of Bread While
in Court Dress.

London, Jan. SO.-Participating in
the debate in the house of commons to-
night on the question of the unem-
ployed, John Burns. president of the
local government board and labor lead
er in the house, denounced the unscien-
tific distribution of religious, phiian-
thropic and private charity, which he
declared was usually misapplied and
diverted to the wrong persons. He told
one of his own experiences recently
when. after an official function, he
joined 1000 of the unemployed at the
Victoria embankment- 4 was in my
court dress, he said, but pulled my
hat over my eyes and looked miserable,
and I got my bowl of soup and bunch
of bread
Mr.. Burns admitted that pauperism
in London is on the increase, and said
that it would continue to grow az long
as indiscriminate charity prevailed.
Where Berlin Beats London.
Turning to the tariff reformets who,
he said, were accustomed to compare
the prosperity of Germany under pro-
lection with the condition of free trade
in England. to the detriment of the
latter, the labor leader declared that
there was less percentage of paUperisn
in London than in Berlin, that the
health of the people here is better, and
that Berlin beat London In nothing but
the measles.
Mr.. Burns moved the rejection of an
amendment to the address regretting
that the kings speech had not recon-
mended legislation dealing with the I'M
employment question, and the amend
ment was defeated by 1875 to 146.
Old Age Pensions.
An incidental remark by Mr.. Burns
during the course of his speech, TO the
effect that the scheme of Herbert y.
Asquith, chancellor of the eXchequeT,
for old age pensions. would provide for
d million people, attracted much atten-
ton in the Hobbies afterward. Moth
ing hitherto had leaked out with ref
eTence to the intentions of the govern
ment, but it was generally assumed
that it would propose a pension of
shillings weekly in certain cases. If
so, Mr.. Asquith's scheme would entail
the annual expenditure of e13,000000
($65, 900 ,000).
