Inventor Pupin Sell* tbe Patent for
Hi* S>item for 8500,000 and au
Annual Itoyalt)' of #1.1,000
During the Life of III*
Patent.
New York, Jan. 15.—The Herald
says: According to the statements
oT Michael Dvorsky Pupin, adjunct
professor of mechanics in Columbia
university, the American Rell Tele
phone and Telegraph Co. has paid
him, instead of the $200,000 as orig
inally stated, nearly $500,000 for his
recent invention of a system by
which ocean telephony is made pos
sible. This is iu addition to an an
nual royalty of $15,000 a year during
the life of the patents.
Prof. Pupin returned to Columbia
yesterday from an out of town trip
and was greatly surprised to learn
that his invention had been made
public.
"The Rell people tested the inven
tion for six months," he said, "and
express themselves as perfectly satis
fied with it. The question of ocean
telephony is solved from a scientific
standpoint and there now remains
only the commercial question.
"There is no doubt that as soon as
the financial part of the matter is
settled it will be possible to telephone
to San Francisco and London, and to
send cable messages to Europe at far
less cost than at present."
" I'riefly," the professor said, "the
question has been to overcome re
sistance. In the present ocean
cables the current has so many ob
stacles to battle with that it is com
paratively slow in traveling and be
comes weak before it reaches its des
tination, 3,000 miles away."
Prof. Pupin. after long experi
ments, finally discovered that the in
sertion of eight inducting coils to
every mile of wire would overcome
this resistance and messages could
be sent over the cable at a much fast
er rate.
Hy this means every time the cur
rent begins to slacken its strength it
will reach one of the coils, which will
give it renewed impetus till it
reaches the next coil, and so on.
The cables will have no greater
strength in electricity and no differ
ent transmitters from those used
now.
His invention when applied lo land
wires, he explained, will enable a
message to be sent much further
without relaying than at present,
and will make conversation between
New York and San Francisco easy.
A KING OR A PAUPER.
Mr. < arnegle Tbii* llrwrlbo the Steel
Matting Industry- He Ainu Com pares
It to a Jiiiiiplu: Jack.
New York, Jan. l">. The Post has
the following: Andrew Carnegie on
Monday denied the stories current to
the effect that .1. P. Morgan and oth
ers were preparing to buy the Car
negie Steel Co. I ntil Mr. Carnegie
made this statement, it was believed
in many quarters that the lirst step
had been taken towards uniting all
the steel companies of the country
under one so-called "community of
interest" control, after the plan of
«consolidation recently followed by
Mr. Morgan an, his associates in the
railroad world.
"Have these interests made any
concerted effort to acquire the Car
negie properties?" asked the reporter
of Mr. Carnegie.
"None," said Mr. Carnegie.
"Is there any truth whatever in the
story that the J. P. Morgan interests
are preparing to buy out the Carne
gie Steel Co. and form a general com
bination with other companies iu the
trade?" was asked again.
"No truth that I know of," an
swered Mr. Carnegie.
"The idea is in the air, just as rail
road combination is; but it is only an
idea —what a combination it would
make."
"Is the Carnegie Steel Co. in any
sense on the market, or is it satis
tied with the existing situation and
prepared to do business on its own
terms?"
Mr. Carnegie said: "It is not in I
the market. It is prepared to do j
business, of course, but always in ,
friendly co-operation with others. It ]
is not an aggressive, quarrelsome
concern."
"Is not continued competition
among steel men desirable in the
public interest?"
"1 see no reason to believe," said
Mr. Carnegie, "that competition iu
any business can be permanently
proven advantageous unless by [lat
ent or control of raw materials.
Even the railroads will soon quarrel
and the gentlemen's agreement go io
pieces. This is human nature."
In reply to the question whether
the steel industry were not
profitable enough now • to in
r.uve good returns to companies
properly capitalized and managed,
without competition, Mr. Carnegie
said: • "Just now, yes. It is prosper
ous. Rut steel is either a king or a
pauper. It is the jumping jack of
business."

New York, Jan. 18. —'I he Holland
society held its sixteenth annual din
ntr at tlx- Waldorf-Astoria last
night. Covers were laid for >'loo
and all places were taken. The
speakers were Grover Cleveland, l>r.
Andrew 11. Smith and Charles W.
Layton. Ex-President Cleveland said:
"The (juestion is suggested whether
in present conditions conservatism
characterizes the conduct or guides
the sentiment of our people. There
can be hut one answer to this ques
tion. Conservatism lias in a great
degree been cast aside, or condemned
as opposed to our country's welfare
and glory. A strange voyage has
been entered upon without count of
cost and without chart or compass.
The tried and sure foundations of
our liberty and national happiness
have been discredited. Reverence
for our national traditions has been
relaxed and satisfaction with our
country's mission has been under
mined. The limitations of our con
stitution have become galling and
irksome under the temptations of
greed and aggrandizement. Our old
love of peace, honor and justice has
been weakened, anil frugality and
contentment are not now traits in
separable from American character.
"War may still be sometimes neces
sary and justifiable; but whether
necessary and justifiable or not, the
demoralization that follows in its
train can never be evaded. It teaches
bloody instructions, which in a coun
try whose citizens do the fighting
cannot fail to leave their impress, for
a time at least, upon public am! pri
vate life in time of peace.
"Thirty years after the close of the
war for the preservation of the
Union, a treaty of arbitration was
stimulated by the United States and
(ireat Britain which, if completed,
would have gone far towards remov
ing every pretext of war between the
two countries.
"This treaty failed of confirmation
in the senate of the United States.
Less than five years passed and these
English-speaking champions of peace
and arbitration are still operating in
parallel lines —one in the Philippines
and the other-in South Africa but
no longer for peace and arbitration.
Roth are killing natives in an effort
to possess their lands.
"This indicates a sad relapse; and
in our case it is a most serious one.
If England succeeds in her attempt
in South Africa, she will but add an
other to her list of similar acquisi
tions, and on account of our engage
ment in a similar venture in another
quarter they will miss the expres
sions of American sympathy which
we are accustomed to extend to those
who struggle for independence. On
the other hand, with success in our
lubjugating effort a new and perilous
♦ituation will be forced upon us.
"We can conquer the Philippines
and after conquering them can prob
ably govern them. Tt is in the
strain upon our institutions, the de
moralization of our people, the eva
sion of our constitutional limitations
and the .preservation of our national
mission that our danger lies. As a
distinguished bishop has said: 'The
question is not what we shall do with
the Philippines but what the Philip
pines will do to us.'
"The republic will in some sort be
saved. Shall it be only in name and
semblance, with fair external appear
ance, but with the germs of decay
fastened upon its vitals; or shall it,
though changed, still survive in such
strength as to remain the hope and
pride of free Americans?
"The problem is a momentous one.
Its solution depends upon the extent
to which the old patriotism and good
sense of our countrymen can be res
cued from impending danger. If we
are to be saved from disaster, it
must be through the cultivation of
conservatism. In the midst of reck
less tumult and in the confused rajjc
of national (freed and bloodiness, this
conservatism should defiantly stand
forth and demand a hearing."

Washington, .Tan. IS.—So far as our
state department can influence the
j negotiations now about to begin at
I Pekin between the ministers and the
i Chinese plenipotentiaries on the basis
of the agreement just signed, it will
seek to clear the way of all minor
matters and of points upon which
there is no disagreement between the
allies, before undertaking the solu
tion of the more difficult, problems
involved in the settlement of the
questions of indemnities, guarantees
and commercial treaties. It is ex
pected that the Chinese representa
tives will oppose almost every point,
in order to secure more favorable
terms, such as an undertaking to dis
mantle, instead of destroy the Chi
nese forts between Taku and Pekin;
some abatement of the restriction
upon the importation of arms and a
considerable limitation upon the size
of the legation guards to be main
tained in Pekin.
It is believed here that if the pow
ers preserve a united front in oppo
sition to any change of the conditions
laid down in the agreement and
notify the Chinese that no changes
are to be permitted, and that the
points are not even subject to discus
sion, the way soon will be cleared
for the consideration of the other
topics upon which it is feared the
powers themselves will find great dif
ficulty in coming together.

A DEVILISH DEED.
A Kansas Mob Burns a Negro at
tho Stake.
Fred Alexander, Who tvan Charged
with tlurdcrund < rluilna I A»a ■■ It <
Die* ut Leavenworth In the
nildat of Flume* Pro
toKted III* Innocence.
Leavenworth, Kan., Jan. 16. —Fred
Alexander, the negro who on Satur
day evening attempted to assault
Miss Hva Both, and who was sup
posed to have killed Pearl Forbes in
this city in November last, was on
Tuesday taken from the sheriff's
guard by a mob and burned at the
stake at. the scene of his crimes, half
a dozen blocks from the center of
the city. Probably 8,000 people wit
nessed the lynching.
The negro was taken from the
state penitentiary at :< p. m., placed
in a hack and brought to town. Fifty
deputy marshals surrounded him.
Alexander was locked in a cell in
the county jail just as the mob
reached the doors. All the doors of
the jail were then locked. The
crowd first attempted to gain admis
sion by peaceful means, but Sheriff
Everhard refused to deliver the ne
gro. Then the crowd pushed its
way to the side door and the door
was forced from its hinges. Then
the crowd surged into the corridors.
A huge iron bar was secured and the
door of the cell room attacked. This
was finally bent so that it could be
forced far enough back for men to
climb over it. Several gained an en
trance in this manner.
The side door, whicli was made of
heavy sheet iron, was the next ob
ject of attack. Several men had
provided themselves with sledge ham
mers and cold chisels and in a few
moments the hinges were cift and off
came the door.
The mob issued forth In a moment,
dragging the negro by the coat col
lar. He had been struck over the
head with a hammer, but was still
conscious. Men foughf to get at
him. and struck savagely at him,
hitting only his captors.
Across Third street and up Into the
courthouse yard they dragged him.
Then they stopped.
"Confess before we harm you,"
said they.
"I am innocent. lam dying for
what another man did. I see lots of
my friends here; they know I did
not do it. If I had been guilty I
would have said so at the peniten
tiary anil would have staid there
for life. The warden told me so. The
policemen told me so. Would not 1
have told them if 1 was guilty?"
"You lie," they cried, and one fel
low struck Alexander in the forehead
with his fist three times. This seemed
not to have the slightest effect on
the negro.
Alexander was brought to the
scene of the murder of Pearl Forbes,
at the corner of Lawrence avenue
and Spruce street. The exact spot,
where the murdered girl was found
was located, and there a semi-circle
was formed. Alexander was brought
up in a wagon with a do/en men. IJhe
wagon was stopped in front of the
ravine, and the leader of the men
who held Alexander called for si
lence. The roar ceased and Alexan
der was shoved forward into full
view of the crowd. The prisoner
raised bis shackled hands and began
io speak.
"You are going to kill me what
ever 1 say," he said, "but you men
are wrong. I want to tell you right
now, you've got the wrong man. I
did not do that and some day you
men here will run up against the man
who diil. I know it ain't any use
to say so, for you're going to kill me,
but I did not do it.''
The first thing done was to plant a
railroad iron' upright in the mud.
This was made fast to cross irons
firmly bound to the upright iron with
wire. Around the improvised stake
boards were piled. To this the man
was dragged and chained in a stand
ing position to the upright railroad
iron. Chains and irons were wrapped
about him, and with his hands still
shackled, he was made fast to the
post. Coal oil was then poured over
hint.
Before the match was applied John
Forbes, father of the murdered girl,
stepped up to Alexander and said:
"Are you guilty of murdering my
daughter?"
"Mr. Forbes, if that's your name,
you have the wrong man," said the
negro.
Coal oil was then applied for the
second time and while it was being
done Alexander called to acquaint
ances in the crowd and said good-bye
to them. He did not seem to realize
that he was to be burned at the stake
and talked rationally until John
Forbes lighted the match. Again
Alexander was asked to make a con
fession. but he replied that he had
nothing to say.
In five minutes the negro was
hanging limp and lifeless by the
chains that bound him. As soon as
the crowd saw that life was extinct,
it. began slowly to disperse.
After Alexander's arrest he was
taken before .Miss Roth, who identi
fied him. Since then a mob has sur
rounded the penitentiary day and
night. Yesterday the crowd became
so formidable that Gov. Stanley or
dered two companies of militia to be
in readiness to start for Leavenworth
at a moment's notice.
The sheriff was taken sick during
the excitement at the jail and is now
confined to his bed.

last night in his apartments at the
Denison hotel. He had attended a
reception tendered by Mrs. Mount to
a number of prominent ladies of the
city during the afternoon and short
ly after the guests departed he start
ed out for a walk. Upon his return
he said nothing about being ill and
after removing his hat and overcoat
sat down to read. In a few minutes
he turned to his wife and niece, who
were in the room, and said:
"I am sick; it's my heart. Send
for a doctor at once."
After taking off his collar and tie
and assisting her husband to reach
his bed, Mrs. Mount went out into
the corridor, where she met Senator
and Mrs. Charles B. Hinckley, of
Richmond. She was wringing her
hands and said: "Mr. Mount is very
ill. Please get a doctor as quickly
as possible."

down and listened for a heart beat
and, rising to his feet, said:
"You can do nothing more for him
—lie is dead."
Col. Wilson, who was with him dur
ing his term of office, said last night:
"Gov. Mount was worked to death.
His close application to the duties of
his office impaired his health and
until some of the burden is removed
from the shoulders of the governors
of Indiana, the exactions of the of

Gov. Mount was a republican and
one of the most distinguished men of
his party in the state. In ISKB. in

THE ASPHALT DISPUTE.
An American Warnblp Ik Ordered to
Proceed to Venezuela to Protect
Certain American lulercat*.
Washington, Jan. 17. —At the re
quest of the state department the
navy department has instructed the
commander of tbe Scorpion to pro
ceed at once from La Guayra to Gn
anoeo, Venezuela, to protect Amer
ican interests, upon reports that the
revolutionary movement there is in
creasing and that a;, attempt is be
ing made to take possession of the
arms of the New York and Bermu
dese Co.
The news came to the state depart
ment from a private but perfectly re
liable source, and was made the basis
of immediate representations to the
navy department. Secretary Long
responded promptly to the request of
the state department, and within •»
few minutes after its receipt Capt.
Cowles, who is acting as chief of the
navigation bureau, was in conference
wifh Acting Secretary Hill at the
state department respecting the
movements of the naval vessel and
the instructions to be sent to Lieut.
Commander Sargent, of the Scorpion,
which is the only vessel available for
immediate service, and adjacent to
the scene of trouble. Respecting
these instructions nothing could be
learned at the state department be
yond the statement that Commander
Sargent had been instructed to avoid
bloodshed and the destruction of
property, if possible.
Still, taken in connection with what
has gone before, there is little doubt
that if the disturbing forces in Vene
zuela, whether governmental or revo
lutionary. are seeking to dispossess
the incumbents on the asphalt con
cession. in defiance of the tacit agree
ment that there first should be a tho
rough judicial inquiry, the United
States warship will prevent that ac
tion, peaceably if possible, forcibly if
necessary.

FEUDISTS AT WAR.
A Kentucky Town l« ilit- Scour of a

to the Scene ol'Trouble.
Corbin, Ky., .lun. 17. — A riot oc
curred here lust night as a result of
the shooting Wednesday afternoon of
James Shotwell by liollie White, anil
several persona have been killed and
injured. Shotwell is in a precarious
condition und not expected to recov
er. The trouble grew out of the
fact that White had been paying at
tention to Shotwell's daughter
against the will of the latter.
After the shooting White submit
ted to arrest and was placed in his
brother's grocery store, where a
guard was placed over him, awaiting
the arrival of the sheriff. At (>:LiO
p. in. a terrific explosion took place
under the grocery. So severe was
the shock that it tore the building
literally to pieces. There were about
a dozen persons in the building at
the time. Several escaped with
slight injuries, while several remain
in the debris dead.
Immediately after the explosion
there was rapid firing in the neigh
borhood by unknown parties con
cealed in the darkness. After the
shooting ceased Susan Cox was found
dead near the wrecked building, hav
ing been struck by a stray bullet.
Corbin, Ky.. Jan. 18. —This place
last* night was in a high pitch of
anxiety. Reports were received of
armed men massing- outside of the
town, representing the factions in
the feud that caused so much trouble
Wednesday night. The special train
with troops from Lexington is due
this morning. Xo attempt was made
yesterday to clear away the debris
of the White building, wrecked Wed
nesday night by dynamite. Every
one kept within doors, fearing fur
ther trouble between the Shot wells
and Whites before troops could ar
rive.
Friends of the Shotwells searched
every train last night for certain
friends of tlie Whites, here and at
Williamsburg. It was during these
proceedings that Judge Morrow
asked Gov. lieekham for troops. Fifty
of the Chadwells, from Clay county,
came to Gray's station last night,
there joining the Shotwell faction.
Sheriff Sutton has sworn a large
force of deputies.
The Shotwells occupy the hills near
the town, while the White forces are
mostly in Corbin. All residences are
barricaded. There has been some
relief since Rocli White and Raleigh
White were arrested and taken to
Williamsburg, the county seat. Rocli
White is crippled and will lose both
eyes as the result of the explosion.
Although the trouble between the
two families was precipitated by
Raleigh White killing old man Shot
well, yet it has been brewing many
years. Mary Shotwell and young
White have been engaged and, not
withstanding the fact that her father
is dead, she expresses sympathy for
White. .Mrs. \\liite, mother of the
White boys, is more than To years
old and is in a serious condition. Ear
ly last evening a number of moun
taineers. unknown in Corbin. rode to
tin- outskirts of the town and fired
their Winchesters and then rode
away.
Sheriff Sutton made an attempt
yesterday to arrest the Shotwells.
but was held off at the point of Win
chesters. lie stated that he will ar
rest the boys when the troops arrive
and he will have more than 100 depu
ties of his own. The Shotwells will
be charged with blowing up the
White store.
As a result of the riot here Wed
nesday night two persons were
killed, one mortally wounded, three
or four others wounded and a build
ing wrecked by dynamite.
Lexington, Ky., Jan. 18.—Roger D.
Williams, colonel of the Second regi
ment, Kentucky guard, received or
ders from the adjutant general to
hold troops in readiness for a call to
Corbin in the ev/,nt of further riot
ing. One company and Battery A
were assembled at the armory and
last night Col. Williams received or
ders to take the militia to Corbin.
Sixty-live men left under orders at
that hour. The orders were issued
by Gov. Beckham.
RIVALS TO BE FEARED.

petition,
London, .lan. 17. —The Karl of
Rosebery at the annual banquet, last
night of the Wolverhampton cham
ber of commerce, spoke of the "great
commercial warfare being waged
against Knglund."
"The chief rivals to be feared." said
his lordship, "are America and Ger
many. The .Americans, with their
vast and almost incalculable resour
ces. and their vast population,
which will probably be 100,000,000
in 20 years, together with the plan
they have adopted for putting accu
mulated wealth into great co-oper
ative syndicates, or trusts, for the
purpose of carrying on this great
commercial warfare, are perhaps the
most formidable.
"On the .other hand, the Germans,
with their calculating and conquer
ing spirit and the energy with which
they sei/.e and use the best and most
economical methods, are but little
less redoubtable than the Americans.
"the Americans, scarcely satisfied
with gigantic individual fortunes, use
these by combination to make of
capital a power which, wielded by
one or two minds, is almost irresist
ible; and, if this power is concentrat
ed against Great Britain in trade
warfare, it will be a danger we can
not afford to disregard."
A Bogu» Prince Arrested.

in Berlin social circles. He was at
one time an officer in the Roumanian

the discovery that he had committed
forgery, going to Paris, London, New

up the character of a bogus prince
and practicing the arts of a sharper.
Finally, at « Berlin hotel, he stole
