Calient Point, of the Document an Drawn ly a Corporation Larry er. riTTSBURG. Pa.t March 21 The officials of the Carnegie Steel Company were to day ajraln closeted with the attorneys in terested in the private affairs of the com pany, reviewing the details of the consoli dation. Absolute and perfect harmony, it Is said, now prevails. The salient features of the charter of the new concern, which Wss prepared by James B. Dill, follow: Tho objects are summed up in the propo sition that the purpose of the company is "to mine, prepare for market and trans port coal, iron, steel, coke and all the prod ucts and by-products." In connection with these objects the company is given power to carry mills, factories and furnaces, warehouses, shops and all the various plants which are now used by the combin ing companies. Tho company has power to transport to the market its products over Its own lines by rail and by water. With a viow to permit the present corporations to continue their individual business well drawn powers are given to the company to hold the stock and securities of other -corporations, to guarantee, if necessary, the payment of dividends or interest on their stocks or bonds. Full power is given to do business outside of New Jersey, but the restrictions of other States must be complied with, and the permission to go Into other States is subject to the laws of the localities into which the company ehall go. The whole amount of $160,000,000 capital stock has been subscribed and the signers of the charter are made responsible to the world for the payment into the company of JltfO.nrio.OOO in money or its equivalent. The Bbsence of differentiating provisions among the stockholders and all arrangements to perpetuate any one or more persons in power aro noticeable. The directors are not classified: they serve for one year and no more; the election then goes back to the stockholders each year and a majority of the stockholders elect the board. There are no preferred stocks, no restrictions or dif ferentiations among the stockholders and the entire direction of the company is sub ject to the vote and will of the majority. The stock has been placed at $1.000 a share Instead of $100 or less, as has been the rule with other corporations. This was done, it Is said, to prevent speculation in the stock. The expressed views of Mr. Carnegie as to the right of Ftockholders for informa tion have been carried out practically in the certificate; instead of providing that the records of the company shall be in the hands of the directors and the stockholders hall have no access to the them, the char ter provides that books and other records of the company shall be open to the stock holders. With regard to liens and mortgages. In stead of putting the whole power in tho hands of the directors or the executive committee, no morgagc or Hen may be cre ated upon. the property of the company without th consent of a majority of the directors of the whole board, and that if the mortgage or lien affects the plants of the company in their entirety or if any mortgage is to be given which shall cover the property as a whole, it can only be by the recommendation of a majority of .the board of directors, and also by the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock. After this it is necessary to obtain the writ ten consent of a majority of the stock holders to the document in question. WILL TRY AGAIN. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGC.) U my purpose to report back the civil gov ernment bill and press its passage." Mr. Bacon inquired of Mr. Foraker If he could say when he would repeat his re quest to have the Porto RIcan tariff meas ure voted on. He regarded the matter of preat Importance and one that ought one way or the other to be disposed of as soon as possible. Mr. Foraker stated that he expected to ftsk the Senate to separate the government measure and the tariff propositions in -the f.nfinlshcd business and hoped to secure a. vnt perhaps on Wednesday next, and cer tainly not later than Thursday. After some further discussion the request of Mr. Foraker that the bill be recom mitted was agreed to by the Senate. An effort was made by Mr. Carter to se cure unanimous consent for the considera tion of the Alaskan code bill. He made a ptrong appeal for the relief of the people of Alaska. He said he made his statement In crder to shift the responsibility for the measure from his shoulders to the Senate. Mr. Cockrell objected to the arrangement proposal by Mr. Carter, but promised to nssist In the passage of the measure when It was before the Senate in a proper way. After a sharp colloquy between Mr. Car i ter and Mr. Cockrell the former gave notice ..x he would call up the matter again on Mon lay. IH'K TRADE WITH l'ORTO RICO. V ?! SiiAeehea br Mr. De Armond. Dnvltl Stnrr Jordan and V. A. Collins. ROSTOV. March 21. "Free Trade with Forto Rico" was the subject for discussion At the dinner of the New England Free Trade League, held at the Hotel Vendomc to-night, and the policy of President Mc Kinley In dealing with the Porto RIcan and Philippine questions was severely at tacked. Among the Speakers were Repre sentative De Armond. of Missouri; Pres ident David Starr Jordan, of Leland Stan ford University, ana Patrick A. Collins. Sir. De Armond said: '"Theoretically and practically I think free trade is absolutely wect. At least, it eeems to m a tariff T aucb as will bring revenuo stA only revenue Is what you ought to labor for. The Porto RIcan question would be a farce If It were not a tragedy." President Jordan paid Porto Rico and the Philippines were not the only countries oppressed by u, but that we had mis treated Cuba, the American Indians and others in the same way. He spoke of aris tocracy, militarism, slavery and Imperial ism as the four great evils of humanity, speaking humorously of the "advantages of imperialism." Patrick A. Collins said we could not af ford to break our pledges to Porto Rico any longer. He said he would like to see Cuba and Porto Rico set up for themselves, and he believed no European power would Interfere with either of them as long as our government attended to its own busi ness and relied on the Monroe doctrine. WO II It IN FOIl II CENTS AX II OCR. Porto RIcan Auk More bnt Do Not C;et It A Coxey Army. Correspondence of the Associated Press. SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, March 17.-The first strike of any importance in Porto Rico since the American occupation was started Feb. 27. Five hundred men employed on the Ponce-Adjuntas-Utuado government road quit work. They formed themselves Into an orderly band and marched to Ad juntas, carrying fiags and banners bearing the inscription, "The workmen on the mili tary road demand 5 cents gold an hour." The prevailing rate had been 3 cents an hour, or 20 cents for a ten-hour day. A delegation interviewed the contractor and an amicable settlement was effected. The men were told that no concession would be made; that others were ready to take their places, and that they must work for 3 cents or not work at all. The men there upon returned to work, apparently satis tied. Another strike was organized March 12, this time at the Arecibo end of the road. Over six hundred employes of the Central Contracting Company, of New York, went out. JThese men demanded a uniform rate of 50 cents a day. The shovelers were then receiving 40 cents and the drillers 50 cents. This rate was higher than was being paid to the same labor elsewhere on the island. The contractors refused to consider any proposition for any advance in wages, as there were at the very lowest estimate 50,000 laborers on the island without employment. The strikers remained-quiet and orderly and made no attempt at demonstration. On account )f lack of funds to keep up the estates many plantations are idle and are being fast overgrown with wild vege tation. Thousands of workmen are out of employment on this account. Governor Gen eral Davis says, in his estimation. 300,000 of the inhabitants of Porto Rico are dependent on labor. It was thought the country was In such a condition as to allow the distribu tion of relief supplies to be stopped, but Immediately after this was attempted the cities and towns began to fill up with beg gars, and instances may be recorded where whole families have died from starvation. As a consequence General Davis has sug gested to the authorities at Washington that the supplies be continued. About six hundred natives have emigrated from Ponce to Cuba, but from letters re ceived by their families hero they have found conditions in Cuba even worse than in Porto Rico. A "Coxey army" arrived in the capital on the morning of March 16, composed al most entirely of women. Over sixty bare tooted, ragged, dusty, dirty, haggard, weary, lame, hungry, bundle-laden, half naked, discouraged and desperate poor country women, with a few men, of all shades and color, trudged their way through the city and halted at the palace at 8 o'clock. They had left the city of Naranjito on Thursday at midnight to come on foot to the governor general with a petition to save them from starvation and to provide them with work or food. Silvano Torres, one of the men of the party, was spokesman and presented their petition of grievances to General Davis. The petition related that the times were very hard in their town; that there was no work to be had; that rice, beans and bread had raised so in price that they were be vond their reach and that there was no fruit to be had. The petition also declared that the plantains, yams, batatos, yantias, nalangos. yuca and frijoles, their principal foods, which they had raised around their own huts, were all destroyed and that star vation stared them in the face. General Davis asked if the plantations had all been cleaned of the debris of the hurricane for relief supplies, he said, had been furnished planters to feed laborers to do this work. They replied In concert that it had been completed. The spokesman added that the planters, in this respect, had favored and only employed those who lived on the plantations. The general then promised to send rations to them to al leviate the distress. The spokesman. Sil vano Torres, then requested of the general tl.at he give him a written statement to thi.t effect, that he might present it to the alcalde of Naranjito, to compel the im mediate delivery of some necessities. He replied that he would attend to that. Later they went to Mayor Egoscue and asked for him to provide them with means of trans portation back to their town, as they feared, otherwise, many might die on the way. The mayor replied that he could not com ply with their request, as the city was as poor as they, that there was not a cent available in the treasury, and that for this reason the police had not been paid. Then they went their way, dispersing, some leaving afoot to retrace their steps, some begging an easier way and some receiving the hospitality of residents. It is expected that similar delegations will shortly arrive from other towns. F. J. FILBERT DEAD. Illinois) Rank; Cashier Who Wan An na ill ted I.ant September. CHICAGO. March 2i.-Frederlck J. Fil bert, former cashier in Patton's Bank, at Palatine, who was attacked with a hammer by Dr. William Lewis in the bank on Sept. 20, died at his home last night as a result of his injuries. Dr. Lewis, who was be lieved to be Insane, was shot down after the assault and died next day In the county jail hospital. During the six months since the tragedy Mr. Filbert was unable to leave his home and was under the care of a physician. Six days ago, however, his condition took .a turn for the worse and he grew weaker steadily. He was sixty-two years old and well known in G. A. R. and Methodist Church circles. The attack on Cashier Filbert never was explained satisfactorily. He was alone in the bank when a stranger entered, set upon him with a hammer, knocked him down and beat him savagely. He was rescued from his assailant by Henry Blagge, a farmer, who had heard the commotion from the street. In the three-handed struggle that resulted the assailant was shot. For several days the identity of the man and the cause of the deed were mys teries. It was thought that robbery was the motive and that the robber's name was Walter Lawton. Finally It was learned that tho body was that of Dr. Lewis, who was a graduate of two medical colleges in Chicago and a licensed physician, and for whose downfall morphine was responsible. The dead man's brother read a description of the supposed robber and decided that it tallied with that of his brother. Tho identification followed. NOTRE DAME BEATEN.
