Mackay, president of the Commercial Cable Company, to-day addressed a circular letter to the stockholders of that company, inviting the deposit of their stock for exchange, for hart in a trusteeship created under the laws of Masrarhusetts under the name of 'The Mackay Companies."

Mackay was most conspicuously identified. The agreement and declaration of trust wer drawn by William W.

The remaining outstanding shares will be received for exchange on or before March 30, 1904, by the Manhattan Trust Company in New York, the Old Colony Trust Company in Boston and Messrs. Baring Brothers in London. According to the circular the first dividend on the preferred shares will be paid on April y, 1904.

The concentration ot Chinese troops west ward of Mukden in the district of Oubantsa Is not relish. 1 by the Russians. War material Ii belog brought up and the militia posts are being strengthened.

It would appear assured that the Japanese will not commit themselves to a definite general plan of campaign entailing marching through Ko rea without first endeavoring, says a Times dispatch from Chemulpo, to gain possession of the Elao-Tung peninsula. The approach of warmer weather indi cates the gradual breaking up of the roads. There is a report that troops south of Seoul lind march laborious. This circumstance, together with the fact that Chinampho will be open in fourteen days doubtless explains the lull in disembarka tion. Between Fing-Yang and Sun-Chon there is a tract of comparatively level country. The hills starting at the southern border constitute a strategical position of some value, now partially occupied by Japan' Be, whose numbers are daily augmented.

HER COLD IMPROVING F. McKeige, treasurer of Robert Grau, incorporated, who is the financial backer and business manager of Mme. Patti in her present American tour, is authority for the statement that the famous singer canceled her Chicago engagement on account of a cold and severe sore throat that made It impossible for her to sing. "I had completed arrangements," said Mr. McKeige last evening, "for the madame s private car to go to Chicago Sunday noon. But we found on Sunday morning that Mme. Pattl was confined to her bed with a Severe cold and sore throat, and the Chicago date was hastily canceled.'' "Will the madame be able to fill her Indianapolis engagement Wednesday evening." was asked Mr. McKeige. "If the concerts were to be to-morrow (Tuesday I evening. I should say certainly not. Rut Mme. Pattl was very much better to-day and if she continues to improve as rapidly as she has, I think she will be able to fill the date in this city." In reply to the question as to whether there was any truth in the rum-r that an unsatisfactory advance sale had caused the i i:ie llaiP.n ot the Chicago date, Mr. McKeige made an emphatic denial. "The salaries go on whether we fill our dates or not." he said. "I Sent $1,200 to Chicago by telegraph to-day to menly pay the rent of the Auditorium and the advertising bills. It means the less of a good deal of money t- enneel an engagement like that, and we surely wouldn't do it without good cause. The Chicago engagement was the ttrst eoneert In thirty-four at which Mme. Pattl has not been at4e to sing on account of her health. If themadame isfully vered by Wednesday evening, we wil! fill our engagement In this city if there art only a hundred people in the house."
