John W. Git's, Interviewed upon Ids
arrival here, said:
"My visit to England Is blmply one
of recreation and has no connect 'on
with business. I have not come t do
anything for steel trun shares. It te
nulte certain, however, thai (these
shares will rapidly advance within a

"Firms forming the combination have
been making twenty-four million
pounds annually. Taking as a basis
their earnings for period of years a
dividend of sev.n per cent Is assured.
The preferred shares of the trust I re'
gard as one of the best Investments
that could be made. They are shares
that will be put away In boxes as se
curities m they are on a perfectly
sound baals and the right men have
control of the corporation.
Rugardlng railroad matters, I think
both Atchison and Union Pacific are
certain to advance In value.
"The country is experiencing an era
of great prosperity. The new find of

el lit Disaster.
BAT TAWAS, Mich.. May 24-The
wooden steamer Baltimore foundered
this morning In Lake Huron naar Au
Sable and twelve of her crew of four
teen were drowned. The two men were
washed about ln the lake for several
hours, lashed to pieces of wreckage,
and were finally picked up by the tug
Columbia and brought here.
George McG-nnls, a deck hand, one
of the rescued, went crazy from bis
experience. The other survivor. Thos
Murphy, of Milwaukee, second engineer,
was able to tell the awry of the dis
aster.
The dead are: Captain M. H.
master of the steamw.
Mrs. M. H. Place, wife of Ciptain
Place, stewardess.
Michael Bneathn. first mate.
John Delders. second steward.
Ed tvl Owfli, wheelman.
George W. Scott, watchman.
Herbert Winning, wutchmao.
P. M. Marcus, chief engineer.
William Barker, fireman.
P. Krueger, fireman,
August Anderson, deckhand.
It was some time ofwr the Columbia
had brought the shipwrecked men Into
port before Murphy was revived suffi
ciently to tell his story.
The Baltimore foundered about
o'clock this morning and he was in the
water until a late hour in the after
noon.
"We were bound from Lorain to
Sauk Ste Marie," he said, "and bad

" 'It Is every man for himself, now,"

and were washed overboard short

"The Columbia finally came along and

DISCONTENT AMONG NATIVES.
Americans Are Appointed to Judicial
Positions In the Philippines.
MANILA, May 24. Discontent among
the natives at the appointment of
American Judges and discriminations ln
the civil service in favor of Americans
is finding expression, encouraged by
some native Judges who are aware that
reorganisation of the Judiciary will re
sult In the loss of their positions.
Judge Neer, of the court of first In
stance, of Tondo, one of the leaders of
what Is beginning to be called the radi
cal wing of the federalists, declared
today that If such things continue
there will be a second revolution. It is
undeniable that most of the nai've
Judges lack the competence required.
BUSINESS MEN DISTURBED.
Afraid of the Increase ln Power of
American InJustrial Combinations.
NEW YORK, May 24. General Man-
ager Gustav H. Schwab, of the North
German Lloyd Steamship Company in
America, who has been ln Europe for
the last two and a half months and
who returned home on the Kaiser Wil
helm der Grosse, In an interview upon
business conditions in Europe said:
"While In Europe, especially in Ger
many and England, I saw, that the
business men there were muofc disturb
ed over the Increasing competition
from this side and seemed to fear the
Increase In power of industrial combi
nations. The alarm is so great that I
am certain that some scheme of self
protection on the part of the govern
ments affected will undoubtedly be per
fected. "Of course thT are great difficulties
to be met in forming an Industrial and
commercial combination against the
United States, but there Is every rea
son to believe that earnest efforts ef
forts thit may have serious conse
quence to the trade of this country
will be made.
"I heard similar talk In Germany
which resulted In my becoming firmly
convinced that commercial and Inter
national peace between this country and
the European nations Imperatively calls
for certain concessions on our part,
without affecting our own industries.
Unless we do mike some kind of con
cessions, Europe will, as sure as fate,
put some kind of a restraint duty on
American products."
Referring to the reported steamship
combination effected by J. P. Morgan.
Mr. Schwab said:
"The British public is giving it a lot
of concern but to the average steam
ship man who understands the situa
tion It does not seem to be nearly so
dangerous as some people think. As an
American, speaking as the agent of a
German trans-Atlantic line, I do not
think the reported amalgamation will
affect the continental lines. Germany
will certainly keep abreast of the times
in the matter of ships whether of great
cargo capacity or of speed.
SEVENTY MINERS LOST.
Fearful Explosion in Welsh Colliery
No Hope for Entombed Men.
LONDON, Itiy 84. An explosion oc
curred this morning at the Universal
colliery at Seughenydd. in the Rhondda
valley. Tbe rescuers are working with
the greatest difficulty owing to lack of
air. Five bodies ha vie been recovered.
The wreckage of the pit Is complete,
almost precluding hope that the im
prisoned men can have survived. There
are seventy miners missing.
The rescuers have found a few bodies
but there Is no hope that the seventy
miners who are still entombed will be
brought out alive.
ANOTHER STRIKE PROBABLE.
O'Connell Favors Strike of Machinists
on Railroads.
WASHINGTON. May 24.-Preaident
James O'Connell, of the International
Association of Machinists, announced
this afternoon that he would recom
mend to the next annual convention of
machinists at Toronto, beginning June
3, that a date be set for a nine-hour
day. without a redu3tlon ln wages, on
all railroads In the country. On rail
roads which fail to comply with this
demand, a strike will be ordered. This
recommendation will be made In
O'Cor.nelfs annual report.
O'Connell says that such a strike
would Involve probably one hundred
thousand men. Including 40,000 machin
ists. The policy will be to enforce the
demand by tying up practically the en
tire mechanical service of the roads.
It was simply a matter of policy, he
said, that railroads were not Included
in the present strike. O'Connell said
the outlook of the present strike was
very gratifying.

which showed conclusively that a revis
ion of the confession of faith Is destreti

to continue the consideration of th

sion, the assembly decided to vota on

speeches were limited to ten minutes.

were made by Rev. Dr. John Dewitt in
the morning, the Rev. IT. Chas. A.
Dickey closing the debate.
Dr. Dewitt favored dismissal, declar
ing that though there might be a slight
divergence of opinion on the confession,
the church was united on the Word of
God. ..:
Dr. Dickey took a decided stand
against dismissal.
Dr. Dickey closed the debate with a
convincing argument, and, during'. the
course of his address bis eloquent ap
peal for a clearer definltioo of the clause
relating to elect Infants elicited a spon
taneous outburst of enthusiasm from
the commissioners.
"I believe'.' said he. "that only elect
Infanta are saved, but I want It writ
ten in the confession that all infant
are elect,"
The question was then laid before
the assembly, and the amendment dis
missing the subject was lost by an over
whelming majority.
