and the most vulnerable of all the trusts la America. Ths charter provisions which have-mud this giant trut possible arc now shown for the nr?t time. They have never been even suspected by persons not Immediately concerned In the deal. The reasons why the rev trust will have a s'torra y and possibly a very brief existence are also shown. IJy the charters of most of the companies In the trust a combination could not be made. Minority stockholders could prevent .Its consummation. Therefore ach one of ths companies, foreseeing many months ago the present combination, put In its charter a provision giving to its board of directors power to sell the whole, provided that all shared alike. A most Ingenious provision in the charter of the new Mliion-collar steel trut Ii as follows: "The company may cause or p?rmit the title of any property or business acquired to bo or remain in the name of any Individual or of any other company and managed for this company, or this company may take over and carry Dn the business of any other company or companies either by acquiring tho ?hares of stock or any othr curitles controlled by mortgage or otherwise, and thus exercise all the powers of holders of the. shares of iitock thereof, manage its afTalrs, elecUs officers and hold Its control and as well receive and distribute as profits the dividends or interests as tne case may be, on such stock or security as dividends on the stock of this company." There are 50.0"0 Individual stockholders m Tederal Steel alone. Any of the other com panles except the Carnegie have almost as many Individual stockholders. To weld all tneso unit into one structure is a task for a giant. What influences will tend to disintegrate the billion-dollar trust? It will be attacked by th government, a bill has been already introduced by Republicans in Congress taking off the protection tariff on Iron and steel because that manufacture i3 no longer an Infant industry. Foreign governments may discriminate against tho tvust by means of a prohibition export tariff, ruch fs that which Russia now levies on American sugar. Each State In which one of the companies composing thf trust maintains an iron mill will endeavor to tax the whole billion-dollar trust through that company tax the whole body, though only one leg Is in that State. Bear raids in the stock market will also make lite difficult for the new billion-dollar Rinnt. Js the billion-dollar trust structurally weak? Is It too big to be handled? A fiifamsfcip GOu feet long goes across the Atlantic with speed and proht to the owners, but what vould b? the fate or a steamthlr S.000 feet or SO.OOo feet long:, bnilt on no stronger Iine3 than the ship of C() feet? Seventy-five million dollars represents three cash payments made in less than ono month by the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. One check, bearing Mr. Morgan's signature, was deposited In th First National Punk yesterday. It called for $23,127,016.67. 1.- connection with the acquisition of a Controlling .interest In the Central Railread of New Jersey. The payment to Andrew Carnegie of 5-a,-Cut.OOC in connection with the big steel deal believed to have been :nad. but which has not appeared in the clearing house returns, wa3 another of Mr. Morgan's monster payments. About three weeks ago the Morgan firm paid out 5.000.000 in connection with tho acquisition of the Pennsylvania Coal Company. These are the largest deals ever rej.rrted as occurring within such a short space of time and Wall street believes all things possible with the Morgan backing. Enjrllsh View of the Trust. LONDON, Feb. IS. The Standard in the course of a special article on the American ttteel trust admits that "it is a serlou3 rtcnaco to British Industry." but thinks that "American users of steel goods will nUo be quezed to the last cent short of damage to the trade. It remains to be been," continues the Standara, "whether the American people will much longer tolerate a fiscal policy which renders such a combination possible. If the trust indulges overmuch in squeezing the revulsion may carry the nation much further than 5s dreamed of now in the direction of free trade." AE1IY CANTEEN CONDEMNED.
Addresses by the Iter. Dr. Stuart Dodge and Others. NEW. YORK. Feb. 17. A meeting under the auspices of the National Temperance Society was held to-night in the Broadway Tabernacle. The passage of the anti-canteen bill and the measures prohibiting the sale of Intoxicants and firearms to the natives of Hawaii and other Pacific islands were discussed by the Rev. Dr. Stuart Dodge, D. D., General Secretary J. B. Dunn, of the National Temperance Society, and the Rev. J. D. Burrell, D. D. Dr. Dodge said there were Immense numbers of young men who had escaped climatic disease and bullets during the : Spanish war and who came back to. their homes drunkards and physical wrecks on account of the array canteen. Secretary Dunn said that the evils laid bare by the Spanish war aroused public sentiment and led to the passage of the bill by Congress abolishing the saloon in the various camps. "During the war." said Secretary Dunn, "many communities had. to take up collections to help the wives and families of soldiers who were squandering their pay at the canteens. During that short war over Jt0,000 was spent for drink at one of the big camps in the South. The government of the United States has no right to be interested in the sale of liquor." iJr. Burrell, among other things, said: "There is a bill before the New York State Legislature to allow the sale of liquor on Sunday during the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo, but it will not pass. There Is also a bill to re-establish tho canteen In the army pending In Washington and it is not going to pa3s. The bills prohibiting the sale of liquor to the natives of Hawaii and other Pacific islands ought to pass." WEATHEH FORECAST. Cnlr nnd Colder, irlth Fresli to ßrlslc .orthvrcAt Winds. V.'ASHINGTON.

FIRC I. TUB I'MOX BAY COLLIERY TO BD DROWSED OUT. Large Volume of Water Pouring Into the Pit, Where the Bodies of SixtyOne 31 en Are Entombed. VANCOUVER. E. C. Feb. 17.-AdditIonal details continue to come from tho Union mines on Vancouver island, where the horrible fatality occurred Friday afternoon. The accident has thrown the towns or Cumberland and Xanalmo Into a state of gloom. The Canadian Faciiic Railway Company's steamer Tartar arrived at Vancouver this afternoon from the coaling station at Union, twelve miles from Cumberland. She brought two passengers II. R. Raymond and George Bennett, both coal miners. Neither had any theory as to the cause of the explosion in No. 6 shaft, in which the accident occurred. They say the cause is not known and that it will never be known. When the Tartar left Union at 7, o'clock this morning the latest news from No. 6 shaft was that the flooding process was still being continued. The firewas still burning, although not so fiercely as during the preceding thirty-six hours. The tremendous volume of water pouring into the mines from tho continuous supply furnished by an eight-Inch main was gradually performing tho desired service, and by tomorrow It is conlldently expected the fire will be extinguished. It will be several days, Raymond says, before the bodies of the sixty-one entombed miners can be recovered, becauso after the fire has been completely put out it will be necessary to pump the water out of the mine before a rescuing party can hope to recover the corpses now lying at the bottom of the shaft. Shortly before the Tartar sailed from Union this morning the steamer Joan arrived, having on board Premier James Dunsmuir, of the British vjolumbian government, who is also part owner of the Cumberland mines. After leaving Vancouver on the Joan on Saturday afternoon Dunsmuir called at Nanaimo, and started Irom Nanaimo for Union last night, but a heavy sea swept the gulf, and as the wind rose a blinding snowstorm made navigation difficult. The Joan was finally compelled to return to Nanaimo at midnight, making a fresh start for Union before dayThe families of the dead miners require financial assistance, which will be forthcoming from more than one source. The mayor of Vancouver has already taken steps to aid the bereaved families, and other cities are taking similar action. In the meantime. Premier Dunsmuir has ordered the storekeepers at Cumberland to give the distressed families what supplies they may need.

Proof has been secured of his dealings with the rebels, showing that he supplied them with uniforms, provisions, money and s;ome arms. The investigation will.be continued. Many insurgent officers are surrendering. Soldiers Well Pleased. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, nd., Feb. 17. Mayor McIIcnry, of this city, ha3 received a long letter from John Ivory, a Wabash young man serving in the Philippines, in which Ivory saj's that practically without exception the men in the army are well pleased with life in the far East. He compliments the army organization and states that the men are well treated, though at times, when far from the base of supplies, they are temporarily short of rations. Young Ivory says that but for the agitation in favor of Aguinaldo by his sympathizers in the United State.! peace would have come long ago. Ivory has a poor opinion of the Filipino as a people, affirming they are semi-savage und incapable of self government. None of the men in his command are homesick and many will re-enllsct, though most of the soldiers on the expiration of their term of service will return to the United States.

RETURNED BY VAN WYCK
NEW YORK POLICE BILL DISAPPROVED UY-TAM.MAXY'S MAYOR. Says It Is Unconstitutional, and Therefore, He Has Sent It Back to the State Legislature. NEW YORK. Jan. 17. It was learned today that Mayor Van Wyck, on Saturday evening, returned to Albany the police bill with his Disapproval attached. The memorandum which the Mayor sent to Albany with his veto 13 addressed to "the Senate of the State of New York," and in part says: "This bill abolishes the present Board of Police Commissioners in charge of the police department of the city of New York, and transfers all their powers to a single commissioner to be named by the mayor, subject at all times to a power of removal vested, not only In the mayor, bu: also In the Governor. The power of removal given to the Governor is not limited in any way. It is not a power of removal for cause, and lt does not require that the commissioner shall have any opportunity of being heard before hi3 removal. "The position of the commissioner to be appointed under this bill is, therefore, that, although a local office, his tenure of ofllce is at the pleasure of the Governor of the State. "It is further provided in the bill that no person the Governor removes shall ever subsequently be appointed to the office. The whole purpose and effect of this disqualification and of the arbitrary power of removal vested in the Governor is to completely nullify the power of appointment nominally given to the mayor. This is a violation of the provisions of the Constitution, which guarantees to the inhabitants of the counties, cities, towns, and villages of the State the right to select their local officers. ' , ' "This bill Is an "attack upon the constitutional rights of local officers. This bill U an attack upon the constitutional right of local self-government. It is all the moro dangerous because the attack is made in an underhand and indirect way." The mayor's message will reach Albany to-morrow morning. It is believed tho bill will be passed over his veto by both houses of the State Legislature and that the Governor will then sign it. SUNDAY HAVOC. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) Sixth street and soon reached the front door leading to Murphy's fashionable bar. Four policemen stood at the door to guard the entrance. They commanded-the people ir. very dignified tones to stand back. "SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!" "Smash, smash, smash' called out Mrs. Nation. "Don't pay attention to them." xne boys with the battering ram came forward, and in less time than It takes to tell it; the big plate-glass windows were shattered into thousands of fragments. Dozens of men then rushed on the building armed with their axes and soon had the doors and window frames cut entirely away. Then, with an exultant cheer, the crowd burst into the building. "Praise God, women. Smash the bottles and the windows," called out Mrs. Nation again and, raising her famous hatchet, she sent it through a window glass. The policemen managed to recover from their scare by this time to grab Mr3. Nation. They started off with her to the police station as rapidly as possible. She waved her arms and frantically called out to her coworkers: "Oh, keep it up. You can do it without me. Praise God, keep it up; keep on smashing. You don't need me." For a moment the crusaders were thrown into confusion by the removal of their leader, but the parting words of Mrs. Nation seemed to nerve them to better efforts. The crowd surged forward into the building and soon all the front part of the room had given way and all could enter at will. A man inside struck a match,-and then turned on the electric lights. A case of beer was found in tho room and it was soon smashed Slot machines, cigar cases, b'.liiard tables, chairs., counters and even the fctoves were smashed to smithereens. The policemen danced hither and thither, trying to keep the crowd from destroying ths property, but their efforts were expended in vain. The doors of the outbuildings were rmashed in, but no more liquor was found. Duing the night it had been removed to a place of safety. After being satisfied that there was nothing else to destroy the crusaders left the building. Then it was that they found their need of a leader. They once more marched to the Statehouse square, to talk over the situation. The women composing the party were filled with wrath. They declared that the men were cowards, .and that they never would go out on a raid with them apaln. The earnest words of the women aroused the men, and with loud cries of excitement they started again down town to destroy some moro Joints, end to make their work complete. Then it was that tho Rev. P. W. Emerson, who was Mrs. Nation's manager during her recent trip, rushed to the front and called tho crowd to desist from their rurnoee. telling them that the entire cl'v I was now awake and that further action would bo useless. Dr. Eva Harding engaged in a spirited argument with the minister, during which some very choice compliments were passed on relther side. What was left of the crowd then dispersed. AT IT AGAIN. But while this was going on another mere Interesting scene was being enacted in another part of the city. Mrs. Nation hac been released from the city prison after being held but a few minutes and soon she again started out on her work. Sho again gathered about her some of these who had gone to the station and commanded them to follow her. Sho led the way to a livery stable, where some tars were stored. She was met at the dcor by the proprietor, who assured her that there was nothing or the kind m tne building. She demanded to have the privilege of looking, however. She ordered two or three of the men present to ascend to the loft and ascertain its contents, giving trem particular orders to search through all the piles ot grain for. hidden liquor. Mrs. Nation at last found in a little room back of the office several fine bars. Picking up a leg of a chair she smashed tho mirrors. "I wish I had my natchet here," r he remarked, "but if I can't get it the leg of a chair will do Just as well. Mrs. Nation then led the way to the Moser cold storage plant, where the "JolntiJts" of the city have been in the habit of storing their extra stock. Only a few went out with her, but she was deter-rr-ined that this should be treated the same as the joints. Mrs. Nation managed to enter the cold storage plant, but found herself in the poultry room. She then tried another place, and got into the engiiu rcom. Ry this time Sneriff Cook and Chief cf Police Stahl came upon the scene, and placed her under arrest. This time she made quite a scene, and was taken to tlie county Jail in the patrol wagon. Her arrest this time was on a county warrant, cworn to by the cold storage people, charg ing her with breaking a lock. There had been a quantity of liquor in the plant tho nignt ieiore, but the proprietors, in an ticipation of a raid, had removed it. When Mrs. Nation again started for the center of the city sho was confrontcu with a third nrrest this time on a warrant for entering the Murphy place. She was taken to jail, while preparations were made for ncldlng a big mass meeting. In the aftornoon, while the meeting was at its height. Mrs. - Nation entered and made her way up the aisle toward the platform. Most of tho auditorium believed that she was in Ja!I, and tne cheer that went up at ths sight of her must have been Inspiring to tns Joint smasher. Soon she began a volley of words. SPURRED TO ACTION. "Women, women,' she said, as she sud denly stepped forward with a dramatic gesture, "Vv'omcn, wo must be about the worK of the Lord this very afternoon. There aro yet some hell holes here which have not closed up In spite of the promises to the contrar and we must smash them this afternoon. This very afternoon." "Amen! Yes, we will," exclaimed a hun dred women, many of them shedding tears in their excitement. The scene was dramatic and not a person in the house, man or worna1?, would have stayed back for a minute if Mrs. Na tion had said that the time had come to move. She had completely captured them. Urs. Nation said she was coins to remain "right hero ia Topeit" until afur
the city election, so she co'ild help In the
election of the mayor. The meeting then adopted resolutions pro testing against the pending resubmission resolution in the Legislature, and as the meeting adjourned Mrs. Nation asked the "home defenders" to meet her at the close. She was going on another smashing tour. Rut Deputy Sheriff Lawson was watching in tho vestibule and when Mrs. Nation came out he served her with another warrant. "It's for defacing property," said the offi cer. "Defacing property?" said Mrs. Nation. Why, I defaced no property. I just de stroyed it. 1 never deface any property. Rut come along, Mr. Officer. I'm not afraid of a jail." Turning to the eager crowd she said: 'Tai going to jail again. I will bo right out, though, women, so go on making your arrangements." Fully two thousand people followed Mrs. Nation and the officer. The officer was obliged to draw his pistol to keep the crowd back and it was with the utmost difficulty that the Jail was reached. The route to the jail was through the best residence district and people ran to their doors to watcn the strange sight. The news of Mrs. Nation's latest arrest had reached the downtown district, and as tho officer hove in sight with his prisoner the street in front of the jail was one seething mass of humanity. The chief of police, with a detail of officers, was soon on the scene, and it took much hard work, together with the vigorous use of clubs and threats of worse treatment, to get an opening in the crowd sufficient td permit Mrs. Nation to be taken into the Jail office. For a time it looked like serious trouble would ensue. At no time was Mrs. Nation in the least alarmed. There was some delay in getting a bond for Mrs. Nation, and in the meantime she entertained tho lawyers and newspaper men present in some of her characteristic ways. Mrs. Nation1 soon became anxious about her bond. "Oh, say, Mr. Sheriff Cook, there's something in Denmark this afternoon. Wrhy aro my bondsmen not sent for?" "They will be here soon," said the sheriff. "Please be quiet, Mrs. Nation." But the bond did not come and Mrs. Nation went out on the front steps of the Jail and appealed for somebody to sign her bond. Nick Chiles, a negro . "jointist." came in and signed it, and so Mrs. Nation was free. She was followed up the avenue by thousands, but at least reached her lodging place and retired to her room. The city is excited to-night, but no more raids are expected until to-morrow. NOTHING LESS TIIAX ANARCHY. A Preacher View of Carrie Nation Rclgn of Lawlessness. ST. PAUL. Feb. 13. At the People's Church to-day Dr. Samuel G. Smith, In his sermon on "The Reign of Law," referred to present conditions in Kansas, and criticised the new crusade without reserve. He alluded to the fact that Rev. C. M. Sheldon had advised in England last summer the adoption of prohibition, and when his attention was afterward called to the existence of 100 places where liquor Is sold in Topeka, had replied that this law was as well enforced as any other. Continuing, he said: "The present state of affairs shows that the advocates of prohibition in Kansas have been shutting their eyes to the truth. But the present movement, assisted by ministers, covertly indorsed by the religious press, and said to be backed by the national W. C. T. U.. is even worse than nonenforcement of laW. This 19 nothing less than anarchy. If the hatchet is lifted against the saloon, no wonder that churches are also wrecked and men are mobbed. The doctrin of the sanctity of the state is the most dearly bought wisdom of human history. If the present officers of Kansas will not enforco the laws, let the officers be impeached and removed if possible. If that cannot be done let men be elected the next time who will enforce the laws. If the people will not elect men who will enforce the laws, let the laws be repealed. To this unlawful zeal, like that of Peter, the Master says: 'He that will take the sword shall perish by the sword. Bleeding Kansas should ltarn tho lesson of self-control." WEAPON OF DARDARIS3I. Soma D. Anthony Condemns Tse of the Hatchet In Kansas. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Feb. 17. Miss Susan B. Anthony celebrated her , eighty-first birthday Friday, and, considering the strain attending that ceremony, was looking very well to-day. When asked for her opinion of Mrs. Carrie Nation and her followers, Miss Anthony, in spite of her advanced years, warmed to her subject with the fire and enthusiasm of former years and, after denouncing the men of Kansas, declaring that neither party had been able to deal with the prohibition question, said in part: "The hatchet is the weapon of barbarism: the ballot is the one weapon of civilization. In Kansas, since 18S7, Mrs. Nation, with all the women In the 256 cities of the State, has had the right to vote for mayor, for the members of the Common Council and for every other officer of the municipality. Women, equally with men. have the responsibility. Therefore, the duty of Mrs. Nation and all the women of Kansas is to register and vote only for such men or women who will publicly pledge themselves to do their duty and to carefully retire to private life every officer who has failed to show his hand. By this process of weeding out the sympathizers with the saloon and voting only for men or women true to principle, the women would see the fruit of their labors, proving to themselves and to the world the power of the ballot over the hatchet." rRISON AWAITS TI1E3I.
