THE TRUST PROBLEM. Industrial Commission .Hakes m R*> port as to methods for Herniating Capitalistic Combines. Washington, March 2.—The indus trial commission yesterday submitted ito congress a preliminary rejiort on trusts and industrial combinations, to gether with testimony, review of evi dence, charts showing effects of prices, etc. The commission makes the fol lowing recommendations, based on euch information as it now has: Promoters and organizers of corpor ations or industrial combinations which look to the public to purchase or deal in. their securities should be required to furnish full details in re gard to their business necessary for safe and intelligent investment. Any prospectus which fails to give this in formation, or which gives false infor mation, should be held legally respon sible. The nature of the business, to gether with the powers of the various oflice.rs, should be expressed in the certificates of incorporation, which should be open to inspection. The directors or trustees should be required to report to the members of such corporations its financial condi tion in reasonable detail; to give mem bers access to records of directors' meetings or otherwise, and to furnish them before annual meetings with lists of members, with their addresses and their several holdings, amd to pro- Tide in whatever other ways may be named in the certificates of incorpora tion, means whereby the members may prevent the misuse of their prop erty by directors or trustees. It is recommended that the larger corporations should be required to publish annually a properly audited report, showing in reasonable detail the assets and liabilities, with profit or loss; such report and audit to be un der oath and to be subject to govern ment inspection. With regard to the inter-state com merce commission, it is recommended that it be given authority not only to prescribe the methods of keeping ac counts of railroads and to demand re ports in such detail as it may require, but also to inspect and .audit such ac counts; that the decisions of.the com mission stand until reversed by the United States court of appeals; that the committee be authorized to pre - scribe classifications of freight articles and to make rules and regulations for freight transportation throughout the United States, and that penalties for violations of the inter-state commerce act should be appropriate fines against the carrier, and not imprisonment of officials. Commissioner Lorimer states that he concurs in all the recommendations but withholds his judgment on the plan until the report, being compiled by the commission is submitted to congress with recommendations. Commissioner Clark concurs in all the recommendations, except that he believes rates fixed by the inter-state commerce commission should not go into effect in case of appeal until af firmed by a court, and that trial on ■ajipcal should be expedited.

Whyland, president of tho firm of C. A. Whyland <3c Co. All of thtm aj - e charged with using the mails to defraud, in connec tion with the firm of McLain Bros. Charles K. and Albert C. McLain, members of the board of trade, but who announced their retirement from business several months ago, were yes terday indicted by the federal grand jury, charged with fraudulent use of the mails, with carrying on a business in> the nature of bucket shopping and defrauding correspondents in several states. Their case will be called in the United States district court on March 10. The brokers on the board of trade had hardly learned the news of the indictment of the McLain Bros, when three deputy marshals walked in and placed the three other members under arrest. The prisoners were taken be fore Judge Kohlsoat in the United Staes district court and gave bonds in the sum of $5,000 each. They were then released to appear in court to plead to the charges preferred against them. The three men were indicted for alleged collusion with McLain Bros, in a swindling scheme and bench warrants were at once issued for their arrest by Judge Kohlsaat. All three defendants are well known on the board and their business meth ods have heretofore been unquestion ed. They have all been in the commis siyon business for years and have es tablished a large country trade. RIVERS ON THE RAMPAGE. Disastrous Floods in Pennsylvania— Two lloy* Drowned. Philadelphia, March 2.—The unusu ally heavy rain of the past two days, coupled with the melting ice and snow, has caused severe floods in the central part of Pennsylvania and in the an thracite coal regions. The north and west branches of the Susquehanna river are out of their banks at many points, as are also numerous creeks. Many industries have been forced to suspend work, including a large num ber of coal mines. The damage wrought will amount to many thou sands of dollars. Near Carbondale a 13-year-old boy named Stanley Franz, who was watch ing the flood in the Lackawanna river, fell from a bridge, and was drowned and his body carried down stream. At Mayfield a party was searching for the body when another boy named Wil liam Lewis fell into the river, was car ried awaj and drowned. At Belief on t-e many of the large in dustries were forced to close and some of the workmen had to be taken from the buildings in boats. The anthracite coal region is suffer ing to a considerable extent. Coal col liers at Whamokin, Shenandoah, Potts ville, in the Mahanoy valley, have been compelled to suspend work because of the mines having become flooded. At Mount Carmel nearly 100 houses have been partly submerged. Throe tlcuuKcii from Otis Washington, March 2.—Three cable messages from Gen. Otis were received at the war department yesterday. One contained a long list of casualties among the troops in the Philippines. A second announced the arrival at Manila of a transport from Tayahas province with eight Americans and 410 Spanish soldiers relieved from captiv ity among the insurgents. The third message stated that since the opening to commerce of the island ports, 13,000 tows of hemp and 70,000 bales of to bacco had been received at Manila. Gen. Otis is expected to return to the United States on leave of absence after the arrival of the Philippine commis sion.

The attorney general in return gave a receipt which states that, the state waives no right, of suing for the. balance of the $43,000 claimed to have been lost through the alleged fraud, Castellaue's Mgliliiiiire. Paris, March 2. —Count Boni De Cas tellane lias an article in.the Gaulois, evidently inspired by his recent visit to the United States and entitled "The Two Imperialisms," in which he draws an analogy bet ween British and Amer ican imperialism. After pointing out that the Americans are taking sides over the Transvaal he says: "If im perialism should triumph definitely in the United States, the Latin, Germanic and Slav nations will have to defend themselves in the future against a union of all the Anglo-Saxon forces.' Cannon Factory Hu riled. I.e Creusot, France, March 2.—Fire broke out Wednesday evening in the cannon factory here, whence the Boers obtained their powerful "Long Toms." Two enormous buildings containing gun material and electrical stores, in cluding a number of artillery models, were destroyed. The losses are be tween 800.000 and 1.000.000 francs. A folding bat has been patented by a Scotch woman, a single sheet of stiff paper or other material being folded into transverse plaits, with a crease through the center at right angles with the plaits, which allows one portion to bend out and form the brim after tho sheet is bent into a tube. Most of the very rich United States senators made their money in mining of some kind—Clark, Ilanna, Jones and Elkins being cases in point. Mr. McConnell, the richest congressman, dug nearly all his estimated $.20,000,- 000 out of Pennsylvania coal .nines. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1900 A SUCCESSFUL RAID.

Mr. Chapin was under no obli gation to assume his father's liabili ties. lie was a boy when his father failed. All the claims had been out lawed years ago and the creditors had forgotten that the deceased Mr. Chap din owed them anything. They had dismissed the accounts from their minds years ago, and when the son handed checks to them they were as surprised as pleased. . Violence Follows a Strike.

The Salvation Army has taken a hall in Paris close to the exposition buildings, where services will be con ducted for the benefit of visitors. At the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo, in 1901, the buildings will be lighted up by electricity generated by gas engines using natural gas. An international street railway con gress will be held at the l'aris expo sition in September, 1900. The Inter national Street Railway association association has selected l'aris as its meeting p'.aee in 1900. Calculating on the basis of results of previous exhibitions at Paris, it is assumed that 52,588,280 people may reasonably be expected to pass through the turnstiles, and the total number may reach 60,000,000.

A new pitcher has an inside ar rangement that has somewhat the ap pearance of a lamp chimney, with a silver top and screw cork, and the cracked ice is put into that. The ice lasts a long time, and can be renewed as it is required. A young woman who has limited room and resources for entertaining, but is the happy possessor of a grate fire, recently gave an oyster roast party in her room, liach guest was provided with a la*rge plate of care fully washed oysters in the shell, and as all sat about the fire each took her turn at putting her oysters onto the fire shovel and slipping them into the fire. As soon as they opened, they were picked up with the tongs and laid on the plate. They were served with lettuce sandwiches and cocoa. A recent statement has been made by the department of agriculture to the effect that "there is no reason to suppose that the potato is not as a rule a useful and wholesome article of diet." The same authority says: "Katen alone, it would furnish a very one-sided, badly-balanced diet, which would frequently prove unwholesome to most people. When eaten with meat, eggs, fish, etc., which are es sentially nitrogenous, an evenly-bal anced diet which is most conducive to health and vigor is secured."

"Scald the earthen teapot the first thing you do. Measure out the tea, allowing a half teaspoonful for each cup of boiling water. Have fresh water that has come to a boil for the first time. Put the tea in a cloth strainer and pour on the bubbling, boiling water. Cover closely with a tea cosey, and let the tea brew on the back of the range or at the table from three to five minutes. If the tea is to stand for some time remove the strainer with the tea leaves, else the fragrant aroma is wasted and the tannin extracted." —N. Y. Tribune. INTELLIGENT COOKING. The Presentation of Food In Palata ble and DlKCMtlltle Form tlit* Acme of Culinary Kdueation. Good living is not high living in the ordinary sense. The very acme of good living is the best presentation of go*>d material in simple form; and in that sense it is the best and highest of liv ing. The introduction of cookery as a branch of our public school training will start the coming generation of housekeepers in the right direction; but thi' crying need of the present, next to a knowledge of materials, is for housekeepers to better understand the importance of the high art of simple cookery, so says a writer in an ex change. Many a woman will take infinite pains in making a cake who probably could not tell of the vegetables in com mon use which should be put onto cook in hot water and \\4®h in cold, which should be salted at first and which later, and why; how each should be dressed for serving, and the difference in dressing them when young and old. Among housekeepers there are more good pie-makers than bread-makers; 80 who make pretty desserts to one who is expert in cooking meats, and 50 who make fine cake to one who understands good soup-making. Do not, because you have kept house. 10. 20 or .">0 years, feel your housewifely dignity would be com promised by beginning all over again in certain things, for that is being progressive. A narrow-minded woman would not do it, be sure of that. The really useful knowledge you al ready possess will count for its full value; your expertness in the nones sentials is very desirable —as a supple ment to more important knowledge. Of course you can cook a potalo. liut how? When you have re ally exhausted "the fine art" of cooking potatoes you have finished one fundamental branch of a splendid education. There are others of equal importance, and each alike necessary if one would be an in telligent housekeeper.—Prairie Farmer. 'l'lie Youiik Mother. There is nothing harder for a young mother than to find herself suddenly so placed that she is unable to come and go freely, as was her wont in the early married days before the baby came, while the father comes and goes as ever, and is not tied down at all. The father must be very patient and sympathetic while the mother adjusts herself to this new life of hers, as a sweet woman soon will learn to do. for if he is thoughtless here he is planting seeds of failure which will grow to gigantic propor tions. He must keep iii 'ouch with the mother in these days, that they may walk together later, and all through even to the end.—Ladies* Home Jour nal. Mn 11renNrx.

Coke and Iron Magnate Who Is How at Outa with Ilia Former Part ner, Mr. Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, the coke mag nate of the world, did not start life from suck absolute poverty as did his business confrere, Carnegie. He is of German descent, and when he first saw the light of day in Westmoreland county, Pa., December 19, 1849, he was born into a thrifty family. He en- Joyed such education as the schools of his neighborhood afforded until he reached the age of 20 years, but he was precocious in business enthusiasm and spent his vacations clerking in a store. When he came out of school HENRY CLAY FRICK. (Coke Magnate Who Has Just Sutd Ste«l Kin« Carnegie.) he went into the flouring mill and dis tillery owned by his grandfather and was employed as bookkeeper. On the side, he toyed with a small railroad venture which proved profitable and permitted him to amass a small cap ital. With this he experimented with the coking possibilities of the Con nellsville coal, in which region he was located. In company with a few farmers, he got control of Broad Farm and built 50 coke ovens. Success was immediate and the capacitj- was soon doubled. Then more territory was secured and the number of ovens waß once more doubled. The panic of '73 came on and swamped some of his partners. Securing aid from influen tial friends, he bought up the discard ed interests and also got control of a large number of additional coking properties at the low panic prices. His faith in the future was sublime; he stemmed the tide of business de pression and came out victorious. Soon after the revival of business the profits of a single year amounted to more than the purchase price of the new properties. The immense indus try to-day operates on 40,000 acres of coal in the Connellsville region, owns 32,000 ovens, with a daily capacity of 25,000 tons of coke, and employs 11,- 000 miners and operatives. L'pon the death of Thomas Carnegie, Andrew admit! Ed Frick into the Carnegie com pany because of his admiration for the business capacities of the com paratively young man. Mr. Frick was made chairman of the company in ISB9, but a few years ago divided the responsibilities of the onerous office by having a president elected, he re taining the chairmanship. Mr. Frick has spent large amounts of money in charitable work, but has done it so modestly that the world does not know much about it. HAS NO EXPERIENCE. Gen.
