Ho will, probably Belzo tho rail way south of Bloomfo'ntcln, and nlthough unothcr battlo Is possible.

Lato this afternoon tho answer of tho Carnegie Steel company, limited, defendant In tho equity suit of II. C, I'rlck.' to determine tho value of his holdings in tlic company, was filed In tho common pleas court. The nnswers (Hod are for tho Cnrncglo Steel company, limited, and tho thirty Individual defendants com prising the stockholders. Tho document tompleto makes nearly 20,000 words,, meeting every nvermcnt of the plalntllf ln'filllest detail. It Is denied that Andrew Carnegie and others named lu tho plaintiff's bill, during April, May nnd June, lSf)2, executed articles of association for the Carnegie Steel company, limited, but they did subscribe to nn amendment of tho original certincnto under which CarneglVj Bros. & Co., limited, had been organized, as a limited nnrtncrshlti association. I Thn nna.-nt .'.Id forth thti fltalnrv nt Krlck's membership In tho association. Frlck's Interest was hcqulrod nbout Jnnuary II, 1S87, under tho terms of what Is known as tho "Iron-clad ngrcemcnt," aud amounted to 1100,000 of tho capital stock. In May, 1889, mi option was given to Krlck to ac quire on January 1, 1891, nn additional In terest of 3 per cent. This option wns abro gated in November, 1S90, with Prick's con sent, but as compensation ho was credited In his account with tho association with the sum of $138,110.08, representing the lucrenso In tho book vnlue, of tho Interest covered by his option from the time It was given until abrogated, Subsequently he acquired nn additional 1 per cent anil then 8 per cent, for which ho made no cash payment except ns hereafter slated, In February, 1S93, Mr. Frlck was tho owner of 11 per cunt of tho capital, upon which ho owed Andrew Carne gie $1,809,191, balance of purchnso ;rlce. Ho was not. howover, under his ngrecment with Carnegie, personally liable, tho Inter est acquired being tho ouly security which Cnrncglo held. Frlck expressed a dcslro to reduce his holdings In tho nBsoclatlon, requesting Car negie to purchase ut the book value p per cent of tho 11 per cent held by him. Car ncglo had no fears, such as Frlck expressed, and agreed to tellevo Frlck of the chnrgo which Frlck declared to be a burden upon him. Carnegie paid him tho then book vnlue, which was greatly lu excess of the price paid for it by Frlck. After this transfer Frlck held only B per cent or the wnoie, nnu tho balanco due on that perccntago from Frlck for the purchase price was finally ad Justed and paid to Cnrnegle, tho payment consisting of $129,000 In bonds of the II. C. Frlck Coko company nt par, and $19,0S3 In cash. This Is all Frlrft has paid for Ills Interest In tho Carneglo Steel company. With the credits from his stock earnings tho amount paid was only $300,000 all told for an In terest worth $5,000,000. No! Actuated hy Mnlevolenoc. As to the valuo of Frlck's services, which he nBsertii largely added to the success of tho association, .Carneglo says that since January, 1895, Frl'ck's functions have been merely advisory, tho business of the asso ciation being conducted under the direction, supervision and, management of tho presi dent, who held general executive power. It Is denied, that Carnegie wns actuated by 'malevolent tn6tlvs In demanding the resig nation of Frlck a's.chalrman, nnd It Is stated tho resignation was demanded in order to preserve harmony In the Interest of the as sociation. The plalntllf was Informed by Carnegie that ho had better resign for hln own sake nnd to avoid the necessity of a re fusal to re-elect him at tho approaching annual meeting. This, however, It Is claimed, was done In tho kindliest spirit and nftei all tho acting members of tho board of managers liad signed a paper re questing Frlck to resign. Tho answer sets forth that Andrew Car neglo has been a member of the association since lt original organization and nt tho present tlmo his Interest Is t8 per cent, ('in lieu le JcNtliiK About l'rollls. Touching upon tho profits of the company and the attempt to organlzo a stock com pany tho answer states that Carneglo while at luncheon with tho plaintiff and others con nected with tho company, by way of Jem, undertook to make estimates cf tho prollts of the company fot tho year 1900 and that tho defendant, Andrew Carnegie, under the conditions then existing, did make an esti mate substantially ns averred In the ninth paragraph of plaintiff's bill, such estimate, however, being a mero guess at results to be ascertained fourteen months In tho futuro which wero then and are still Involved In great uncertainty. It Is admitted that the profits of the company for the year 1S93 wero substantially as averred. Tho amount, however, only refers to tho difference between tho amount of sales and tho actual expenses of manufacture and lo not by nny means Indicate tho amount uvnllablo for distribution ns to dividends. It Is denied that tho nesoclntlnn has assets which It could transfer worth $230,000,000 aud It Is asserted that on December 11, 1899, the books showed that tho net vnlue of the assets of the association were $7.'. 010,101. 06. From time to tlmo the plaintiff has been n member of committees appointed to re value the assets and the values now entered may he taken as the plaintiffs own state ment of their valuo to tho fellow members, on which during plaintiff's membership moro than fifteen settlements havo been mado with retiring members or the estates of deceased members. It Is denied that ani mosity has been manifested townrd tho plaintiff from hlu failure with othors to avail of an option given by Carneglo. HiiiiilreilN of Millions, In this connection It Is stated that the price to bo paid for tho property of the association and tho coke property on this, option was $320,000,000, being on the basis of $230,000,000 for tho property of tho asso ciation ami tho balance for tho coko prop erty. Carnegie was to receive for his inter ests $100,000,000 In bonds and tho balance, about $57,930,000. In ensh. Frlck, it is claimed, has upheld nnd en forced the so-called "Ironclad agrecmont" at all times, opposing an attempt on tho part of Henry Phlpps to make a chnngo lu the original. During all tho years Frlck, as tho active agent of the association, acquired tho Interests of all retiring partners under Its provisions. When a partner wns deemed unsatisfactory by his associates lie was In formed of that fact, generally by Frlck, with tho statement that the company would pay for such Intorests under tho terms of tho agreement and If not ncceptod voluntarily ho would enforco tho terms. This course continued up to tho tlmo of his resignation as chairman nnd manager of tho association, and ho was the first to nttempt to ovodo tha agreement. It Is asserted that under the terms of tho Ironclad agreement signed by Frlck his In terest has been transform! to tho associa tion and tho association tenders payment for the Interest nccordlng to tho valuo as It shall nppear on tho books of the association March 1. 1900, and ns soon os tho books are written up to that date tho plalntlrt will bo furnished with a balance sheet nnd the cash and notes will bn tendered him for the yaluo of his Interests, the amount being approximately $4,900,000. It Is averred that the sum Is the full amount due Frlck, Jb jjraeosltlon made by Frlck to arbl- tratc the value of his Interests Is rejected i because the defendants propose nt all times 'In .Maintain 1 1. I ,. , t-1 , .. n It,. nn..lnAl under which tho relations of the association and Its various members have been defined since 18S7. declaring If the validity of such an agreement cannot be mulntnlneJ it will be Impossible In the future for this nssoc.a tlon or others organized upon tho same plan to contlnuo In buslnesn nnd by reason of tho Importance and necessity of maintaining the Integrity and validity of the Ironclad agree ment the defendants decline nnd will always decline to arbitrate tho queston of the value of Frlck's Interests. They do not re gard Frlck's offer as being mndo In good faith. v COMMITTEE AT KANSAS CITY I'lKunmrr kciiIh Arctic tor n (iiiiime of Hate In the Democratic Com nillon. KANSAS CITY. March 12.

This Is right In the heart nf the Italian district and the greatest excitement pre vailed. This feeling has been greatly Intensified since 7 o'clock, when It first became known that tho lire was of Incendiary origin nnd within fifteen minutes of the time when this report was llrt circulated men anil women, well-nigh crazed by grief, ran tearing around tho streets, looking for the man who was responsible for tho frightful tragedy, and threatening all sorts of dire vengeance. Three or four minutes after ." o'clock this morning tho lire was discovered, but long before 'the lire apparatus reached the scene tho Interior of tho burning tenement wa peopled whli wild Italians, running hither and thither, unable to Hud menna of escape. VI any llclilcx Children. Every room emptied ts occupants Into those narrow little halls nnd there was no escapo for the frightened tenants because of the Jam. and they could not get out. There wero at least twelvo families In the place, sixty persons in all. of whom perhaps firty wore children, unuble to enro for themselves. Four men Jumped from a front window. Several were hurt. The flnmes spread with frightful rapidity and tho wind sent the sparks southeast, threatening all the frame tenements In that direction. The place wns like a roaring caldron when tho firemen reached tho place. The ladders were quickly put In position and then began the work of rescue. One after another tho women and then Hit men wero tnken down, while other llremon devoted their attention to drowning out tho Haines. This they succeeded in doing In less than nn hour, but during that hour a fright ful sacrifice had boen offered. Nearly every room In tho house contnlned Its victim. Few wero really burned to death. Most of them were smothered. The bodies were carried out by tho firemen. In different places In the ruins human bodies mny be seen pinned down by heavy timbers. Tho rescuers aro clearing uwny the debris in. tho hopo that hcwc may yet bo rescued alive, but there Is Ilttlo ohaiico of any ono now In tho ruins being alive. Two victims hnvo been taken to the hospital. One of them Is severely burned. The other was Injured by Jumping from the second story of the burnc.1 tenement.
