The Iron and Trade Review of to-day prints a letter, written to its editor, by Andrew Carnegie, Just before he sailed for Europe. The paper refers to it as "Mr. Carnegie's last trade utterance as an American steel master," and adds that the developments of the past week give special significance and interest to It. The letter follows: "Concerning the prospects for business in there Is no doubt. So many orders for the present year are on the books of manufacturers that it would require some very tartlinsr element to affect the result. I do not see any probability of the prevailing , prosperity coming to an end before next winter perhaps not then although the rise In prices must tend to check consumption, and especially the export trade; but the difficulty now is to take care of the home dentnd a demand which is legitimate, covering actual requirements and not increasing stocks. Although the demand abroad is not so great, prices are still advancing and we might find a market for considerable quantities, even at the present prices here. "When the depression comes the American manufacturer will have one reserve, which has not hitherto been his. namely, he will be able to produc at a cost which will enable him to supply the world outside, and this, fortunately, will keep labor more fully employed than it has. been hitherto under similar circumstances. Another element in Ms favor is the increased consumption of teel. Its use for so many things; so that, on .FORECAST FOR TO-DAY. Showers and High Southerly "Winds Predicted for Indiana. WASHINGTON.

the whole. I believe the industry to be upon more solid foundations than ever before. Upon cne point I am well assured that the Increased demands cf the world for iron and steel are chiefly to be met bv the United

States. Great Britain and Germany are now running up to their fullest capacity, al though ureat Hrltaln shows, this year, even a slight decline In product. The demand wnicn is to ccme beyond the present pro duction is to be the prize of the American manufacturer and unless the present activity creates capacity far beyond any possible local aemana, as is to be feared, manufac turers Bhold obtain profitable prices for some time to come. The country has never entered on a period of activity under condi tions so favorable. Many years of inactivity and saving: splendid crops for two years, sold at high prices to the foreigner: great advance in methods of production; an enormous trade balance In our favor all the?e elements combined Justify the optimistic views which prevail. Our Iron and steel manufacturers deserve prosperity for a time for they nave had a hard struggle lor years." IIICYCLE TRUST ADVOCATED. Views of A. Featherstone and II. S. Crawford, Manufacturer. NEW YORK, May 11. When the forma tion of a bicycle trust was announced some time ago it created considerable stir in this country and abroad among those directly in terested in the industry. Many of the prominent manufacturers have been in this city during the last few days, but it has been a difficult matter to get any of them to say anything about the trust. There has been more or less talk about an opposition com bination, but A. O. Spalding, who was s.iid to be the head of the trust, has positively refused to be interviewed on the matter, and It was not until to-day that any of the makers would have anything to say. A. Featherstone. of Featherstone & Co., with a plant at Chicago, was interviewed to-night. After stating that Mr. Spalding had the firm's options, which would not be withdrawn, he said: "I confidently believe that the company Is assured and will be formed on precisely the original lines. I be lieve that this combination will prove bene ficial to every person in this country con nected with the bicycle Industry, including the riders. It will give more employment and probably larger wages to mechanics, as the factories can be operated more months in each year. It will be better for riders. because the Quality of the machines will bo improved. I understand that It is the inten tion of the new company to make a strong effort to secure foreign trade, which cannot but be beneficial to the entire country, as the bicycle industry Is carried on in almost every State. I don't think it will be possible to oreanlze an opposition company, for I know positively that Mr. Spal.ilnsr has in his possession more than one hundred signed options giving him the right to purchase blcycl factory plants." R. S. Crawford, of the Crawford Manu facturing Company, of Hagerstown. Md., said: "I am with the Spalding combination and expect to be to the finish. The first com bination so completely covers the ground that there is not enough left for a nucleus for a second." YARN MILL COMBINATION. Another Great Trust In Process of Organisation. TAUNTON. Mass.. May 11. The Evening News says: The great yarn mill combination is fast assuming" definite shape. It is understood that the principal owners of the Cowhannet mills have practically agreed to give Andrew G. Pierce and W. W. Crapo. of New Bedford, an option to purchase their stock at $230 per share. Messrs. Pierce and Crapo act as agents for Barrow, Wade, Guthrie & Co., of New York, who are accountants and promoters In the Interests of English and American capitalists desiring to invest their fund3 in the yarn Industry of Bristol county, which have proved so successful under local management. The stockholders of the Nemasket mills of this city also have been asked by the. same agents to give a sixty-day option on their stock at $110 per share, and notice will be sent to the stockholders requesting reply as to whether they are willing to accept or rot. Every stockholder will therefore have to decide for himself whether ne is wining to eell out for a 10 per cent, increase above the original cost. There are about 200 different owners and it is a serious question for them to decide whether they will dispose of a 6 per cent, stock for a premium or io a share. Pierce and the banlcs which hold the Bennett & Howland mill stock are prac tically unanimous in giving Fierce and Crapo a sixty-day option of 5140 for the Bennett mill and 1110 for the Howland. New BAdford. Providence. Taunton. Fall River and Boston banks are said to own a control ling interest in the New Bedford yarn mills, which came to them through their note holdings at the time of the reorganizati .m.. two years ago, after the Hadley & Howland collapse.

MARSHALL, Mich., May U. Rt. Rev. Bishop Hawley, of St. Johns, N. F., administered confirmation In St. Mary's Church to-day to a large class. In an Interview Bishop Hawley said: "The public sentiment of New Foundland is more in favor of annexation to America than of confederation with Canada. This feeling has been accentuated by the fact that the country has been recently betrayed and drawn into a mcst shameful railway contract by a Canadian syndicate and Canadian politicians. It amounts to a virtual swindling of the country out of a $13,000,000 railway and all our coal, minerals forests and agricultural lands. A desperate fight for our freedem is now Imminent. The local Parliament opened today and It is believed the government will be defeated, and the contract broken up. I do not believe there Is any immediate prospect of the settlement of the French shore question. The complication arises not from any intrinsic difficulty in the case but because politicians have always thought of it rather as a means of exploiting their own popularity than of relieving the country of the grave burdens of the French aggressions.

His victory on Florle Rubbatlno In the race for the flying handicap was the most creditable of the day. Florle was one of Mr. II. McAlmont's castoff lot, having hitherto been a very disappointing animal, but to-day. after appearing hopelessly beaten at the bushes Sloan injected new life Into the creature and Florle dashed up and finished the race by a. head. Vain Duchess was regarded as a. sure winner for the Breeders' plate and Sloan got home without an effort. The American contingent plunged on Vain Duchess. The Evening Sun's race r?porter says: "One man wagered 2,000 and I personally saw the American backer, Grannan, lay 650 to win 100. There was no big betting on Caiman, the winner of the Payne stakes, in view of the price. Caiman won in a canter." Sloan was up in this race also. Trottlnnr Board of Review. CHICAGO, May 11. The board of review of the National Trotting Association concluded Its three days' session to-day and adjourned. During its stay in the city decisions were rendered in one hundred cases affecting trotting clubs and fair organizations in all parts of the country. The last case decided was that of the National Trotting Association against the Louisville Driving and Fair Association. The case was Interesting for the reason that it involved the power of a julge or association to suspend or modify -a fine assessed against a driver after the action of the authorities has been publicly announced from the stand. The board of review declared that the Judges or association had no authority under the rules to remit a fine after it had been announced. In addition to this the members held that all fines must be reported promptly to the board and the Louisville Driving and Fair Association was censured for failing to comply with this provision. The ruling was that the fines must stand and tfle association was instructed to roport. Pending this action a final decision was withheld. The case in question occurred at a meeting of the Louisville Driving and Fair Association last fall, when the judges fined W. O. Foote $500, George Saunders $100, and Fred Keyes $50 for laying up heats in the Douglass stakes, which were remitted shortly after by the Judges. The next meeting of the board will be held In December In New York. Collapse of a Walker. NEW YORK, May U.

General Henderson Thinks a Western Candidate Will Win. CHICAGO, May 11. Congressman David B. Henderson, Iowa's candidate for the speakership, passed through Chicago today on his way home from Atlantic City, N. J. In an interview he said: "I have announced that I am a candidate for Speaker Reed's place and while It la yet an uncertain fight I am encouraged by my prospects of success. I am not making a brass band campaign, but rather working out matters modestly. The situation may be summed up as the South and West against the East. A Western man will be chosen for speake unless all signs fall." W. D. HO WELLS OX TRUSTS. A Mild Defense, Based on the Ground that They Are Inevitable. New York Journal. "The trust, as It seems to me," said Willim Dean Howells yesterday, is the ultimate of competition." The man who wrote the "Visitor from Altruria" professed Ignorance cf the financial aspects of the trust question, and unwillingness to approach its purely political bearings. As a social fact ha "thought aloud" about it in the presence of a reporter. "Can a trust do more then an ind-tvidual with equal resources?" he mused. "It seems not. It U always the law of commerce for the big fish to swallow the small ones. The great merchant destroys many smaller rivals. Mind, I am not saying that this is right. But I see no greater peril to the public In the one than in the other. "Power In human hands is subject to abuse. That is universal. The trust is likely, in time, to abuse its power. When it can oppress. It la reasonable to expect that It will. "I wan surprised to learn the other day that there was an envelope trust. I wanted some envelopes of a certain kind. The dealer told me that he could not get them from the trust sooner than two weeks. Now, if there were several Individual manufacturers, one of them would have filled that dealer's order In six days, perhaps. It shows in a small way the tendency of the trust to be superior to the consumer's Influence." "Some of the social .reform groups." said the reporter, "believe that the trust is a etage of progress toward that very public ownership of the means of production which they advocate." "That has been a dream of the collectlvists for many years," was the answer. "Do you remember that Socialist in Zola's 'Ventre de Paris?' He was an enthusiast in that opinion. But I see very little hope In this direction. The idea is revolutionary rather than evolutionary. The transfer from the one condition to the other is not likely to come naturally. And revolution the forcible change is always reaction." Mr. Howells was reminded that Abram Hewitt's theory is that the trust opens the "way to co-operation, through the ownership by the worklngman himself of the share of these great corporations, and "was asked if he thought that would be the solution. "I have a high regard for Mr. Hewitt's opinions," said he, "but I do not agree with that. "I do not eee how laws are to prevent the trusts from multiplying." he continued. "The popular enmity to them Is aroused, perhaps, by the known lawless act of some of them in their earlier history. But it is true. too. that all great business runs counter to the law. or sails as close to it as It can. I think that the trust is the logical outcome of the system of competition. It Is forced Into teltg by the desire of men to live." Mr. Howells, according to his literary asftodates. has been "almost a Socialist," but has thought better of it. BEST SOLDIERS PHYSICALLY. Clty-Ralsed Men, of Medium Helffht and Weight, Stand War Best. Washington Star. "The medical and surgical history of the Spanish war, when It is fully written." observed an army surgeon, "will again demonstrate the experience of other wars, that the medium-sized makes the best soldier; that is, the soldier who is best suited for the hardships of a campaign. The tail, long-Jointed man proved to be the worst soldier, for he played out long before even the short, slim man. The medium-sized man. by this I mean In height and weight as well, who was short coupled, wore better, taking all things into consideration, than all others. What are known as big men, heavyweights, as well as extremely large In every other way, proved to be. as In the civil war, the poorest soldiers. They were the men who first needed the attention of the surgeons and began to fall with diseases almost before they got fairly Into the campaign. "Another thing was pretty well proven, I think, and that was that city-raised men made better soldiers than country-raised men, though the latter were better workers, as far as hard work, manual labor, was concerned. Contrary to my previously formed opinion on this subject, light-haired men proved to be less susceptible to camp diseases. Heavy meat eaters did not stand it as well as those who ate of meat sparingly, leaving out of consideration all questions as to whether the meat served to the soldiers was good or bad. There is no doubt in my opinion that pork meat ia not proper food for soldiers in a campaign, it matters not in what form it is furnished or in what manner it is cooked. "The soldiers who sickened themselves in the early port of the war, when the men v.ere congregated about in large camps, by indiscriminate eating of pies, cakes, ice cream and the like, were, as a rule, country-raised men. who seemed ready to eat at all times and who displayed no sense or discretion whatever as to what or how often they ate. The city-raised men offended in this respect much less than their country-raised associates. In previous campaigns it was proven that black-haired men were the stronger, but in the Spanish war the scales tipped in favor of blondes, redhaired men standing the warm climates exceedingly well." BACK IN TOW-PATO TIMES. Albert Pawling- the Flint Navigator of the Old Wabash und Erie Canal. Wabash Plain Dealer. Mr. Albert Pawling, the oldest continuous resident of Wabash, grew reminiscent the other day and when asked "What do you know?" replied: "1 know that I was the first man to navigate the Wabash and Erie canal. You see the canal was completed as far east as Fort Wayne, in the fall of 1S38. but the Ohio people were a little tardy In fulfilling their part of the contract, and it was not until 1843 that boats were run through from Toledo to the Ohio river. "My first trip was not on a boat, but on a raft of logs. A man had a lot of logs here which he wished to get down to Peru and offered me $15 to get them there. I accepted the offer and prepared for the trip by lashing the logs together, making a raft, made myself a paddle or oar, and then hired John Cooley to assist me. "John procured a bod cord that was a time before spring mattresses were In vogue tied one end to the raft and making a loop In the other end. fastened a good-sized round stick in It. and throwing the rope over his shoulder, started down the tow path. I stationed myself in the rear end of the raft and steered it to Its destination. "We made the trip in one day and when we returned I was paid the $15 and gave $7.50 of it to John, who took the place of a mule at the end of the line. "In those days we paid $14 for a barrel of flour and I often paid as high as 6 cents per pound for salt and 12H cents for side meat." DRUNKENNESS IN FRANCE. In Normandy the Women Drink Even More than Do the Men. Paris Letter in Pall Mall Gazette. The progress of drunkenness in France is provoking something like dismay among all persons interested in the welfare of the population. Until comparatively recently the French lower classes drank nothing but wine; or, in the northern provinces, beer and cider. Of late years, however, the consumption of cheap and bad alcohol has increased to such an extent as to become a very serious danger to the health of the community. Intemperance is particularly rampant in Norway and Brittany. A Rouen physician. Dr. Brunon. has Just published a pamphlet on the subject, which shows the evil to be even worse than supposed. The rneclal object of Dr. Brunon's Investigation has been drunkenness among women. In Normandy things have come to such a pass that the women drink even more than the men. although the latter are the most inveterate topers in France. This state of things, in the opinion of Dr. Brunon. is due in large measure to the exceptional facilities the women have for obtaining drink. They have no need to go to the cafes or marchands de vln the temptation awaits them at every turn and corner, for, as there are no licensing laws in France, the grocers, green grocers, coal merchants and other shopkeepers have adopted the practice of selling Intoxicating drink. The servants and other women who make their purchases in their establishments make their visits the excuse for a glass, which Is often given them by the shotkeen. I er with a view to securing their custom.

Dr. Brunon declares that a cook who doea not drink to excess is almost unknown in Normandy, and he cites the most extraordinary cases of young girls of twenty and under who are habitual drunkards. In one lnstanoe which ha relates the cook was methodical enough toKeep an account of her drinks, which was found by her mistress, who had several times found her unconscious in tho kitchen. The woman was in the habit of taking from twelve to sixteen glasses of alcohol In the course of tha day. Among the working classes the necessities of life may be lacking, hut there Is always money enough to buy cognac, or rather socalled cognac. The bottle remains on the table throughout the day, and while the husband Is away at his work the wife empties It in repeated small doses. The work f;Irls of the great Normandy linen factories ndulge thre times a day in what they call an "all together" (un tout ensemble), consisting of very little coffee and of a great deal of bad brandy. In the small towns, and even in the villages, things are no better. Dr. Brunon cites a hamlet in the escln where the street in which the grocer's shop is found is called Dram street (Hue de la Fioie), because it Is recognlred that none of the women of the place ever visits the shop without consuming her petit verre. In the coast towns of Normandy the women pass their time drinking what they term, on account of its cost, trietosous worth that is. a mixture composed of 1 sous worth of sugar, 2 sous' worth of coffee ana 10 sous worth of brandy. MlaSSSMMMBSlSBllPMaiaaSSSSBSBlSBBBBBSSlSBB GENERAL CiRAXT'S MOTHER. She Was a Woman of Great Self-Con-trol and Churacter. Philadelphia, Record. It Is a commonplace of history that great men have had mothers able to transmit some measure of strength of character, of keen intellect to the fon. The case of Gen. Grant Is no exception to the rule. Ills mother, Hannah Simpson, seems to have been a woman of remarkable self-control and character. Friends of the parents were wont to observe that "Ulysses got his reticence, his patience, his equable temper, from his mothtr," others declared that from, her he derived "his sense." and her own husband. Jesse Grant, testified that her steadiness and str rgth of character have been the stay of the family through life. It was noticeable that in the primitive conditions of life at Point Pleasant. O.. where Grant was born, hi mother never complained of any hardship or toil or depression. Her son once remarked that he never saw her shed a tear in his life. She never boasted, but she was extremely proud of her ancestry, and of her family history. It is interesting to recall that the mother of General Grant was a rennsylvanlan. being born at Whltemarsh. in 17. Her early home, a stone house with wooden additlrms, is still standing in Montgomery county. The property came Into the Simpson family m 17K3. when Grant's great-grandfather purchased a farm of 14 acres with a plain house of logs without the clapboard coating since added. So the general came of good Pennsylvania ancestry on one fide or the house, the other being Connecticut folk who had fought through the revolutionary The foremost general of his times grew up a happy and peaceful boy. There is little record cf his righting, and he was a grea favorite with the girls because of his gentleness. We are told that Grant as a boy nevrr teased children ounger than himself nor tortured animals: 'he was the most unmilltary of boy in a military age." having small love for guns, and could not bear to see things killed.
