The story of tha dlaoovery of these helra in Stone conntj, Ho., reads like a romance ! New York, Feb. 7.—The announcement that Andrew Carnegie had disposed of the control of the Carnegie company to J. Ficrpont Morgan and his associates attracted widespread attention among business men here. Not only Wall street, but the entire community as well, appeared deeply interested In the transactions connected with what the local newspapers denominated a "billion dollar steel combiue." It was the absorbing topic in every brokerage office, and under persistent repetitions of the report the stocks of the leading steel companies made rapid and violent advances. As far as positive direct information yi concerned there was practically none to be had from Messrs. Morgan and Carnegie. Mr. Morgan, who Is credited with being at the head of the syndicate which has purchased the controlling interest in the Carnegie company, declined to confirm or deny the report, while Mr. Carnegie as well would make no statement whatever. The fact, however, that these two men permitted the reports to continue- in circulation without even attempting a denial was generally regarded as a strong indication that they were well founded, and there was something in the manner in wjiich the reports were put forward that added to the general public confidence In their credibility. Numerous alleged semiofficial statements were put forward, but these could not be traced back to the principals in the deal. According to these reports J._ Pierpont Morgan is at the head of n syndicate which contemplates the organization of u mammoth steel combine to include the Federal Steel company, the National Steel company, the Steel Hoop company, the Sheet Steel cAmpany, the American Steel and Wire company and the American Tin Plate company. The consensus of opinion among bankers and brokers Heemed to be that what Andrew Carnegio had really done was to sign a contract to deliver hia stock holdings in the Carneglu company to J. P. Morgan & Co. All statements as to the price to be paid by Mr. Morgan and the business men associated with him in the transaction appear to be mere idle speculation. Peking, Feb. 7.—At their meeting yesterday the foreigu envoys prepared a note to be delivered to the Chinese plenipotentiaries containing the substance of the decisions arrived at, includtyig the sentences Of execution. This will be translated and delivered to Prince Clung and Li Hung Chang, who will immediately communicate with the court before replying.

An American trader named Carman was arrested last night and, after considerable questioning, was sent to the same station. The men are charged with conducting the business of buying copra, the dried kernel of the cocoanut broken up for export, from insurgent presldentes at Pagsanjan, In the eastern extremity of Laguna de Bay, and also with paying assessments for the insurgent cause. The evidence ndduced last night wan to the effect that the prisoners have supplied the striped clothing used for insurgent uniforms. Both the insurgent presldentes who claim to liave dealt with Carranza and Carman are now im prisoned in Manila. One of them, Fabella, fears hanging because he was captured as an insurgent after having sworn allegiance to the United States. He made strong statements tending to implicate Carman and Carranza and confirming the statements of Reyes, who became presidente of Pagsanjan after Fabella's arrest.

RUMMA SALE^" Fifteen Passengers Said to be Killed In the Crash. Beginning at 8 o'clock last evening the first of a promised series of night sessions was held to discuss the shipping bill. The entire session was devoted to a continuous round of intellectual pyrotechnics. Practically every question that has been or is likely soon to be before the'senate was discussed,, but very little time was devoted to the pending measure. Notable speeches were made by Mr. Jones of Arkansas and Mr. Aldrich of Rhode Island. Mr. Jones was passionate in his denun* elation of the methods of the majority to force the shipping bill to an issue, and Mr. Aldrich's response was as keen and vigorous in their defense. From a spectacular point of view the session was interesting, and the sharp colloquies and snappy speeches were hugely enjoyed by those on the floor and by the large crowds in the galleries. The miirtsters were surprised that no plea was put forward in favor of Prince Chwang, but ueithar Prince Ching nor Li Hung Chang made any objection to the full penalty in his ca9e.

Thej are seeking to avoid an extra session and evade rcsiDousibility on this all abMorblnp question. They have been seeking tC persuade the president to let the Cuban matter rest and had hoped that they hod made some progress. Mr. McKiuley'b prompt avowal of General Wood's action showed them cloaily that the administration at least sees the work map ped out for the American people, proposes having it done and is actually hurrying the matter to an issue. They now look for 110 change in the attitude of the president, aud indeed every expression heard in administration circles tends to the conviction that Mr. McKinley intends to press the matter on congress, even to the extent of seriously displeasing his advisers in the senate. The indictments against the entire 12 are regarded in Peking as a masterpiece of diplomacy on the part of the  for had the ministers merely given a list of names without specification of crimes this might have left many loopholes for argnment, which is now believed to be impossible.

Some business men who in the netoral order of thing* would not be particularly friendly to a huge combination of this character did not hesitate to call attention to the fact that In the spring of 1809 there were very positive rumors that control of the great Carnegie Intercats was to beftransferred and that an option had actually been begun by Mr. Carnegie. Nevertheless the deal fell through. It I* claimed that Mr. H. C. Frick and men associated with him actually paid at that time $1,000,000 In cash to bind the bargain and that falling to secure the neccssary capital Mr. Carnegie profited by this particular transaction to the extent of $1,000,000. It was claimed by these men that the purchase could have been effected at that time at n lower scale of prices and that $50,000,000 in cash only- wouldJinve been necessary, whereas a considerable amount of capital would be needed now. On the other hand, interests in Wall street friendly to Mr. Morgan did not hesltato to call attention to the fai t that conditions have materially changed in the last two years, that this is the day of big things and that the men now reported to be anxious to secure control of the Carnegie interest ore vastly stronger in the world of finance than the men wh(j planned the grPPt «tccl combination tDvy years ago.
