In reply the secretary OF the
interior today addressed a letter to
Senator C.app. chairman OF the
committee. stating the altitude OF the
department in the matter OF open.
in the rolls of citizenship of the
five civilized tribes. After giving
short history OF this work the

opposed to any action which viii

KNOCKS OUT BILLION
DOLLAR MERGER
PURCHASE OF GOULD STOCK IN
tLSrNLS riDRAWAL.

New York, FEB. lG.--Just to please
the puDnc, as 1t were, the MackdJ
companies are going to sell herr hOld.
inas IN the American Telephone anu,
lie ogl aph company, whi1h in turn
cCnuois the Wes.eIn Union. With hi,
announcement disappears the talked
OF bal ion dollar merger. and the
PCstai 1elegraph-Cable company, IL
a more keen competitor Of the Yves.
tern Union.
When. several mon rs ago. the
American Telephone and Tcle graph
company bought George GouldS
stock in the Western Union, carrying
practical control. ii was pointed out
that the Mackcy companies held prlc
tically $4,000 shares of the formers
stock. This was interpreted by many
as tacit merger of The three great
companies. which would mean dea II
to competition.
Clarence a.. Mackay. head of the
Mackay companies. was quick to deny
that a.y merger had been consum.
mated or was even under consdera-
tion, but the rumor would not down
Now comes the announcement of y
decision OF the Mackay companies TO
sell heir holdings in the American
Telephone and Telegraph company as
agreed upon at fhe annual meeting
of the companies in Boston today.
"ln DIFFERENCE TO Public Opinion
A statement explaining the action
was issued in New York tonight by
c. G. Adams. vice president of the
Postal TelegraphlCable company.
The sta cment says:
THE Mackay companies will sell IS
entire holdings of stock In the Amer-
can Telephone and Telegraph com
pany that step being In Difference to
public opinion. which views with sus.
picion this large holding OF stock IN
company which has recently pur
chased the control of the Western
Union Telegraph company.
Moreover. that sock was acquired
by the Mackay companies with a view
to bringing about economies In the
construction and maintenance OF Joint
poe lines over long stretches of coun
try where the business was not sur
iicient to Justify either company cIn-
structing an Independent pole line by
itself
Many such arrangements were
made, each company constructing one
haf OF the pole line but having moth
ing to do with the business of the
other company. Since, however. the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company has acquired control OF the
Western Union Telegraph company,
the time has come for the Mackay
companies TO sell their holl.nSs OF
sock in the American Telephone and
Telegraph company and that will be
done.
"rhe Postal telegraph system will
continue to be free and independent,
prepared to maintain the competition
which II has furnished for TWEEN y-avc
years"

among the highly intellectual men of
our time Living to the ripe age
of 81, il was his fortune, as ii was
the fortune of his intimate friend,
William Ewart Gladstone, to maintain
to the last his mental clearness and
keenness. 1t is but few weeks since
some of his strongest letters on the
question of immortality were appear
ing on the editorial page of the New
York Sun. The characteristic note in
all his writings was a wholesome
sanity In the leisure years of his
later life he devoted profound study
to the subject which he called the
riddle of existence" Honesty with
himself had compelled him to reject
all creeds, but the processes of logic
led him to believe. nevertheless. in a
future life AS upon Herbert Spencer,
the problem of the nature of death
pressed upon him continuously for
solution; and battling as it was to
end of his life with undiminished
zest Perhaps his conclusions can
best be summed up in a sentence
from one of his recent letters: But
if happiness is the object and this
life is the end, of all studies the sad
dest is history" In other words. IF
death ends all, what is the use of
living this brief life?" 1t was his be-
lief that the Christian religion has
bttll TIC ltdltSl ali lplNtS lOI
civilization, in its restraining influ-
ences against evil and i'm its implant-
ing within the hearts of humanity a
faith in life beyond the grave; and
he considered that only the slow
processes of evolution would lead man
to a plane of doing right because it
is right" regardless of promised re-
wards
AS a professor at oxford, it fell to
him to be the tutor of the late King
Edward. No doubJ he was chosen
for this employment because of his
own aristocratic lineage. and because
his training might have led him to
see in imperial England the best ex-
preston of human government But
he was in fact a man of democratic
instincts, and his thoughts were
turned toward the American republic
He came to the United States in
1868, and accepted the chair of his
tory at Cornell university. Two years
later he went to Canada, and he made
his home in the dominion thereafter
but to the end of his life he was an
intense republican. 70 him it ap-
peared plain that the destiny of Can
ada is to become part of our re-
public, and his open advocacy of a
union between the two countries made
many enemies for him in both Can
ada and England.
