Britinh Capital to Rule.
Cini \<h>. Sept. 15,—The expcuiture of
fifty million dollars by two English syn-
dicates to control the extraordinary ag-
gregate of the industrial enterprises in the
United States was completed in this city
today. The syndicates included in their
membership a great number of British j
bankers and trustees of large estates in !
the United Kingdom. No business was
acquired for them in the United States
which has cot paid at least twelve and
a half per cent a year for the
past five years. Grain elevators, flour-
ing mills and breweries have been favorite
investments. The management of each
of the various enterprises will be placed
in American boards of directors, subject
to a control of a board in London. A
representative of the syndicate nere when
asfead today if this doe*
of a
not look like the
huge British trust,
establishment
said;
"No, each enterprise is operated sep-
arately. The plan is not one of aggres-*
sion Or of oppression, but of conservative,
sure investments. Hostile legislation it
is learned has beer cleverly eyaded in a
careful manner. The deal embraces a
chain of elevators from the Minnesota &
Dakota wheat district to the Chicago
syndicate of flouring mills at Minne-
apolis and the breweries in Chicago, and
the last purchasing committee it is under-
stood left Chicago this morning enroute to
the northwest, intending to go from there
to Omaha and Kansas City where furth-
er purchases are now being considered
Among properties already turned over to
the syndicates are a number of breweries
in Chicago, Albany, Detroit, Newark,
Jersey City, New York, Baltimore, Ros
cluster and Syracuse, also the star elev-
ators of Minneapolis, seventy-six in num-
ber. the Vandused system of elevators of
Rochester, Minnesota, ninety in number,
the Cargill Bros., elevator system of I
Minnesota and Dakpta and Bradstad's j
Hancock iron mines at Hancock, Mich, j
Arrangements for the purchase of the !
Pillaburg flour mills and Washburn J
mills of Minneapolis have been completed
and the transfer will take place in a few j
days. Negotiations for the two extensive j
elevator systems in Chicago are well adi j
vanced.
The City Contract Company, of Lon-
don, with a capital of fifty million dollars,
and the Trustees and Executors Company,
of London, with a capital ^f thirty-seven
and one-half million dollars, are the syn-
dicates making these purchases. Lord
Mayor Isaacs, of London, is president of
the latter company. Trusted agents of
the first made lists of desirable proper-
ties, and then options were obtained.
Expert examinations followett and then
came the report from an advisory com-
mittee, and lastly the wo>-k of the pur-
chasing committee. Among the members
of the advisory committee was D. G.
Macrea, editor of the London Financial
Time?.

bitterly the other evening about some-
thing that had happened, when her
mother endeavored to soothe her. She
told her to "hirstn" and "never mind"
and "stop crying," when the little one
answered between her sobs: ' I c-ean't,

The Drunken Engineer,
Chicago, Sept. 28.—A sensational clh
xnux ended the coroner's investigation
into the Rock Island suburban railway
accident this evening. The jury had just
returned with a verdict holding Engineer
Twocibly and Fireman Leclocher respon
sible for the wreck and committed them
to jail, when Leclocher broke down and
admitted having perjured himself in
swearing that Twombly was not drunk.
The flreman then made a confession, tell*
ing of bis ride with the drunken engis j
neer. He intimated that compulsion j
from high officials of the company had j
prompted him to lie. Twombly
and himself. it appeared, had
gone to a saloon before starting out with
the freight train that played such havoc
with the passenger car at Washington
Heights Twombley drank freely, but
said Leelocker, "he was not paralized
drunk." Lecloeke added that Twombley
ran the engine himself, and said at the
time of the accident Twombley's head
was out of the cab window, and he might
have' been asleep, for all the fireman
knows Leclocker broke down and cried
like a child. Engineer Twombley is un-
der arrest at his home, where he is con-
fined to bed by injuries received in the
wreck,

PARfs, Bept. 38.—Ferry who was de-
feated in the recent election^ for member
of the chamber of deputies fcts written to
the electors of the district dftheVoges
department in which he ran saying that
violence, dishonesty and corruption diss
organized, for the moment the republis
cans of the district, but such affairs can*
not last long, H's defeat be says is of
small consequence. He will remainon the
battle field until the coalition against the
government is broken. Boulanger has
issued an address to the electors of Mont-
marte in which he says they have replied
to the iniquitous charges of the senate by
electing him to the chamber. The gov-,
eminent finding its trickery of no effect
resorted audaciously to the annulling of
their votes. This the he declares was an
act of sheer brigandage;that the rights of
<he electors of their privileges bad been
trampled under foot The republicans
joght to see that'the rights of the voters
were restored. President Carnot received
the members of the commercial congress
today. In his speech to the delegates, he
referred to the happy result of the elec-
tions. He said the destinies of republi-
aan France are now assured. It behooved
the chambers to attend lets to speculative
politics, and to devote themselves to
-practical business and pacific develop*
ment,
