Tho leaders ri-nll? this and have alrcadv hsminnlml hir .in ferences for tho time being and will nominate tceir strongest candidate. Ex-Judge Koch, they realize, is the most available man thus far announced.

Monstor Combination of British and American Capitalists lORTHE DEVELOPMENT OFOHINA Tlio British (JovorniiKint .Support I tn Iuvostor mill tlio Wnslilnaton Gov criimotitWIlt Ho Urucil to Taken Slm llnr Stnntl l'or tlio llrlco CinumIonB. New York, July 14. A buslnotw alli ance of American and English capital ists has beet recently formed which Is of unusual Interest and importance, because of the leading positions held by these fnen on both Bides of the At lantic; because of the many millions of dollars Involved In It; because tho United States government Is about to be asked to give the compact ofllclal sanction anil moral support; because England has already formally approv ed that, and because the field ot Its operations is beyond the jurisdiction of both nations. Announcement of this alliance was mado yesterday by V. V. Whitorldge, of tho firm of Cary & Whlteridge, who now fills the place left vacant by the death of ex-Senator Calvin S. Brlco ns chairman of the executive commit tee of tho Amerlcan-Chlnn Develop ment company. The company Is one party to the agreement and the other Is tho British and Chinese corporation. This makes a combination ot the most powerful capitalists In tho world. Tht! field of their actlvltlos is China. Tho concessions which ex-Senator Brlco secured from tho Chinese gov ernment for tho American-China De velopment company consist of tho right to construct a railroad 750 miles long, from Canton to Kankow, exceedingly vnluable coal mining concessions, and other industrial franchises of less In dividual but groat aggregate value. The British company had a contract to build an SO mile railway from Can ton to Kowloon, on the sea coast. Tho two resolved to pool tholr undertaking and their profit. The British com pany apparently got tho bettor of the bargain, but their ability to sell Chi nese bonds In tho money markets of Europe exceeded the ability ot the American compnny to sell Chinese bonds in America, or anywhero else, to such an extent that the advantago is only apparent. Tho American company's engineer, W. Barclay Parsons, of this city, has completed the survey of the railroad line from Hankow to Canton, and an agent of tho syndicate Is now In Shanghai. He reports that the ne gotiations at Peking have reached a critical stage, and that thore is a dis position ou tho part of tho Chinese government, represented by Sheng Ta- Jen, director of railways, to avoid ful filling Its part of tho contract. This is the cause for appealing to our govern ment for moral support. Mr. whlterldgo asserts that Lord Salisbury has already Instructed the British ambassador in China to treat the contract secured by tho American company, and shared with tho English company, as If It wero a British con tract and urge the Chinese government to fulfill its terms. The American company sent Mr. Parsons to Wash ington yesterday to make a formal ro- Quest that tho government of the Uni ted States take a similar stand. Such a demand upon the United States gov ernment is probably unprecedented. Tho British and Chinese corporation limited (tho London capital involved) Is a syndicate composed of the most powerful financiers In Great Britain, among others Messrs. Adoipn von Andre, Arbuthnol Brothers, Baring Brothers, Sir John Barry, the Hong Kong and Shanghai bank, Ernest Cas- sel, the China and Japan bank, Sir Auckland Colvin, Glbbs Brothers, Sir Sandys Dawes, Lord Rothschild, Sir Thomas Southorland, S. S. Gladstone, Sir Marcus Samuel, John Walter, tho lord mayor, and other people of well known standing. Tho American-China Development company Includes Kuhn, Loob & Co., Morton, Bliss & Co., Central Trust company, H. G. Koster, of J. P. Mor gan & Co., Chase National bank, First National bank, John Hegeman, presi dent of the Metropolitan Life Insur ance company, J. Donald Cameron of Pennsylvania, Henry Woicott, Hugh J. urant, Carnegie steel company, Ar thur Sewall of Maine, C. C.
