The Carnegie Syndicate

Mr Andrew Carnegie has carried through one of the greatest Company 5 transactions on record. It may be remembered that with the obj ct of relieving himself of the cares of active business, he had entered iwto an arrangement with one of his partners, Mr 3frick, representing a Syndicate, by which he was to retire from the Carnegie Company on the payment of forty millions of pounds sterling (not dollars ) The Syndicate were allowed ninety days In which to carry through the transaction and find the money (Mr Oarnegie agreeing to allow twenty miilion pounds to remain in 5 per cent gold bond*) and aa a pledge of fulfil ment the Syndicate deposited the num t>! 15175,000l 5 175,000 dollars—about £250.000. They failed, however, to carry out their agreement, and Mr Oarnegie took possession of the deposit. This and the failure of their efforts annoyed the members of the Syndicate, and war was declared, but it was quickly seen that they were no match for the controlling head of the Company, and very soon they came to terms, At one time it is understood that Mr Frick demanded to be paid out at a cost of eight million pounds sterling, bub from subsequent events it would appear that his interest It much less than this sum.

Ai the result of the new agreement ft grant Corporation, the greatest pri- Tate trading undertaking in existence, has Wen foi ra^d ani ngisterpd under the laws of Nrw Jersey, with a capital of 180,000,0 0 dollars, divided into ■hares of the par value of 1000 dollars each.

Tbe lists of names of the consolidated Companies is also a curiosity. The Company is formed to buy, lease, and control husin'sa and transportation companies in any part of the world, and includes tha following :«—The Car cfi;ie Strel Company, L^miteJ, the Ed^ar 1 homion Works, Besiu mer Perm iuc.udbg the Edgar Thomson blast furnace*, Fdgar Thomson foundry, and Edgar Thomson steel works, Puqaesne Work?, Duqueme, Perm, inc'uding the Duquesne blast furnaces and the Duqae«ne steel works; Homestead Steel Works, Manheim and Home stead, Fen, inc'tiding the Bessemer steel department., open he rth steel depart ment, armott plats department, and 13 finishing mills) the Canrie blast furnace 3, TJankin, Perm ; Lucy blast furnaces, PitUbarg, Upper Union Mills Fittsbarg ; Lower Umon Mills, Pitts 1 barg, Larimer Coke Work*, Larimer, Perm; Youghioghfny Coke Work?, Douglas, Perm ; the Carnegie Natural Gaa Company, Youghioffheny Water Company, Mount Plenswat Water Company, Trotter Water Company, Union Railroad Company, Slaekwater Kailroad Company; Youghiogheny Northern Company, Pittsburg, Besse* ncr, and Lake Erie Railroad Company, all the coal and coke p-operty of the H.O Frick Coke Company in Fayette and Westmoreland Counties, Pennsyl 1 vania, including 40,000 acres of un mined co-'l, 20,000 acres of surface line-, 11,000 coke ovens, 2500 railroad card, and 3500 dwellings; Pittsburg »»nd Oonntvutt Dock Oompiny, 43 S per cent of the capital stock of the Perm By 1 vanipi and T nko Eie Dock Company, one fourth r£ thecpitn.l stock of the New York, Pnnnpylvania, and Ohio Dock Cnmpnr.y; l liver Iron Mininsj Company, which owns all of the stock of the Metrnpo'il»n Iron and Land O nipahy; all of the sfnek °f the Pi meer Iron Company ; 89 3 per e?nt of the B*ock of thp L«ko Superior Iron Company, and 98 p?r cent of the Security Land and Explosion Com p-uiy, onp half of the stock of the Pewabie Oompiny, Pittsburg Tilestone Coriapany, Limited,an^l Pit*sbarg SU-am ship cempany, including all of its Vfssels, property, *c. It will be ob »erved that Mr Carnegie has thf con trollina powe/f in this vast undertaking Homeof the Amprican papers estimate Mr Carnegie's income for 1899 at about two million pouwds sterling, whiila they express a belief that for the current, year it will not be lees than five millions sterling. This was, how ever 3 before the recent drop in prices.

South Kensington Museum.

NEW SPECIMENS.

The authorities have wisely decided to Add a new department to the Victoria* and Albert Museum, wnich is new being rebuilt at South Kensington. Iq tbat department will be carefully retained specimens of the following almost extinct species:—

1. The Englishman who has cot a title, an alphabetical distinction, or a d' esration.

2. The English peer who has not married an American.

3 The Anglo-German millionaire who is not a prominent member of Ltndon society.

4. The aged English dowager who is not, according to the " society papers," a well known beauty.

5 The English peer who is not employed in or about the Stock Ex change.

6. The London "fashionable " worm a who has not been to Oape Town.

7, The Lord Mayor of London who hat not opened a Mansion House Fund for the relief of somebody or of some thlog—and to his own great relief, moreover, for he invariably obtains a title in consrquence.

8. A British poet who writes other wise than in costermonger English.

9. An Englishwoman, however ob pcuro her position in liftl, who is not convinced that she ia a member of " Society."

10. An Engh'bh lady.

11. An English gentleman

It Is earnest iy to be hoped that the authorities at the Museum will tenderly guard these priceless treasures, f«r there are obvious reasons for believing that Bronld th>y be lost or seriously damaged they nould never be replaced. —London Truth
