Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 1S-The ban
quet of the Carnegie steel officials,
past and present, which took place
at hotel in Pittsburg last Saturday
hight and which is alleged to have
been somewhat on the "Seeley din
ner'' order, is being made the sub
ject of investigation by the United
States Steel Corporation.
1t has leaked out that one of the
main arrangements for the dining
hall in which the banqueters sat was
an artificial lake. 1t has been as
serted that in this lake, round which
the rs banqueters sat, goldfish swan
ali the time. There is a rumor that
there was more than goldfish in the
water at one time-that there was a
young lady swimming and bathing
for the edification of those who had
been filled with food, etc.
This is Indignantly denied here by
those who admitted having a seat at
| the table. Great secrecy was main
tanned at the dinner and the walters
and the orchestra were sent far away
for two hours during the evening.
President William E. Corey is said
to have left the banquet hall about
the time the fun began. This places
the head of the steel corporation in
position to tell his own inquiring
committee If asked that he saw moth
ing out of the way at the banquet.
Rumors in Pittsburg tonight say that
Andrew Carnegie, hearing disquiet-
ing reports regarding the banquet,
asked that 1t be looked into.

THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF
SHORT WEIGHTS.

New York, Jan. 18.-The four con-
victed SIS a week checkers and
Oliver Splitter, dock superintendent,
conceived and carried out the gigan-
tic thefts for which the American
Sugar Refining company refunded
more than 100000 to the govern
ment, officially declare the millionaire
directors of the company in their an
nual statement to the stockholders.
No man higher up" knew of these
frauds either in their conception or
execution, they assert, and go on to
| say:
No attempt has been made to
shield any one, and your board has
no right to believe, and does not be-
lieve, that any executive officer or di-
rector of this company had any
knowledge of or participation in this
fraudulent underweighing.'
Forbid Directors to Speculate.
A bylaw was adopted forbidding
any director of the corporation to
speculate in the stock of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company or its
subsidiary companies.
Two new directors elected are Ed
win F. Carr and Edwin F. Adkins OF
Boston. They represent the New Eng
| land stockholders. E. Marstein, pres
ident OF the Farmers Loan and Trust
| company, and Samuel c. Hooker of
Philadelphia were chosen directors to
| succeed Charles H. Sense and John
! Mayer, resigned. President w. B.
Thomas and the other directors were
reelected and it was announced that

Says Small Holders Control.
Until a full statement of the fl
nances of the company can be pre-
pared" declares the report of the di-
rectors to the stockholders, "all that
can be said regarding the company
finances is that the prospective divi-
dends have been fully earned.
1T is commonly supposed that the
shares of your company are owned by
a comparatively few residents of New
York and Brooklyn. This is an er-
roneous belief. The average holding
OF any single individual is less than
SO shares, and the majority stock is
held in New England There have
been no substantial changes in the
1S,484 shareholders of the company
in years
Another misrepresentation that we
call your attention to Is the belief
that your company is a monopoly.
When, in 1894, the supreme courtoi
the United States decided that your
company was not monopoly under
the Sherman antitrust law, this COM
pany had much larger percentage
of the sugar trade of the United
States than it now enjoys.

Many Uses of Sand.

The sands of the sea are singulariy useful. They are of primary impor' tance in glassmaking. They have an important place in warfare. as bank of sand twenty inches thick is proof against modern rife shots. The cleo trical properties of sand show that 1t has positive electricity, although a rod of silica, the chief constituent of sand. Is negative.
 The singular drying effect which oc- CUTS when q stretch of wet sand Is pressed by the foot is due entirely to an alteration in the piling of the sand grains. Normally the grains are close together. but abnormal piling is brought about by pressure of the foot. the space between the edges of the grains being enlarged and the water drained away. If the pressure of the foot is continued the sand becomes wetter than ever. the partial vacuum quickly bringing water from the sur rounding sand.
 In quicksand the moving character Is thought to be due to the imprison- ment between the grains of gases from organic matter.-Chicago Tribune.
