NEW YOHK, April X Attorney Samuel
Undermcyer tonight guvo out a statement
In which he says that u protracted meeting
was held today at his oMIco nnd continued
tonight nt Delmonlco's which had reference
to the litigation between tbo American
Smelting company nnd the Standard Oil
Interests, represented by II. H. Rogers nn
Leonard Lowljohn, over tho merging of tbo
M, Guggenheim's Sons' plalitB.
Attorney CMeruicycr'n Statement.
Mr. Undcrmejcr's statement goes on to
my.
"Tho differences were finally settled nm
the Interests of the Stundnrjl Oil company
nro now cloHoly allied with those of the
American Smelting company, while tho
I'nlted Motal Selling company becomes th3
rolling agent for tho consolidated company.
Tbo certificate Increasing the capital stosk
of tho company to $100,000,000 was filed
with tho secretary of state at Trenton to
night. '.'In order to nvotd any further complica
tions the new stock was Immediately Issuo.l
nnd delivered to tho Guggcnholms and they
liavo conveyed their properties to tho com
pnny. so that tho amalgamation Is now
complete. There were $22,000 In rovenue
clamps required for tho stock certificates
nnd almost half that amount to stamp tho
deeds."
The World tomornw will say: Tho
difference between the majority and ml
rorlty stocMiolitirru t Ihn American Smell
Ing anil Ueflnlng company havo been ad
Justed and tbo suit restraining the com
pany from Increasing Its stock to $100,003.
OoO for tho purpose of purchasing the
property of M. Guggenheim's Sons lias
been withdrawn.
"TIiIh announcement came yestorday Just
prior to tbo handing down of a decision
by Juntlce Dlxou In Trenton, ordering that
the stay enjoining the purchase of the
property bo continued and that tho pro
ceedings to Increase the stock remain In
Btntu quo ponding final argument and de
cision by tho court of chancery as to tho
rial value of tbo Guggenheim property.
Why They Withdrew.
"l H. Kogers and Leonard Lewlsohn of
tho United .Metal Selling company opposed
tho consolidation because tbu smelting com
pany wanted to uct hh Its own agent after
tbo consolidation, whereas the selling com
jmny had haudlcd tho smelting company's
business for years. Messrs. Rogers, nnd
Lewlsohn withdrew from tho directory of
the smelting company.
"Negotiations looking toward n peaceful
hcltlcment have been In progress for thJ
last two months and culminated last night
nt a meeting held at Dolmonleo's,
"lly tho tcrmH accepted, tho selling com
pany will ngnln act as helling agent for
the American Smelting and Heflnlng com
pany. Tho plans nro ulso to re-elect Messrs.
Lewlsohn and lingers to the directory of
tho consolidated company.
"Tho Metal Selling company exports about
65, 000,000 ounces of silver yearly, nearly alt
of which Ir bundled lu Its capacity as agent
of the American Smelting nnd Refining com
pany. "Tho Guggenheim company's yearly ox
port Is about 25,000,000 ounces. Tbo con-
Bolldated companies will control about 00
per cent of the business. Tho settlement of
tho difficulties means that tbo silver ami
copper productions of the United Stntes
will bo controlled by ono company. Tho
Metal Selling company, which is recognlicd
ns a Rockefeller concern, now controls tho
coppor trade, Uh yearly shipments amount
ing to 80 pur cent of the rntlro output of
this country. It is Interested also In large
foreign copper properties, Tho annual bus
tness of tbo American Smelting nnd Re-
linlng company Is about $"5,000,000.

him to enlist- COO natives of tho Philippines
for service ou board tho former Spanish

employment of natives will spread respect
for tho American Hag and create a strong
feeling of loyulty.
Reports received from Rear Admiral
Remey huve shown that Americans, cspo
daily those serving In tho lire rooms, be
como badly debilitated and It Is necessary-
to send tbem to tho United States to re

HARRISON, Ncb April S. "An act of
heroism unsurpussod lu tho annuls of tho
late" is tho expression used by Slouv
ounty citizens In connection with tho per
formance of Miss Llzzlo E. Cottman,
teacher In tho district Bchool near here.
Mono, facing a torrent of water carrying
trees, bodies of animals und ull tho debris
of a Hood, she rescued the students of her
school nnd preserved thn building Itself
from what Boomed Inovltablo destruction.
Teacher und pupils were unconscious of
tho danger awultlng them. Suddenly Miss
Cultmaii felt a strange, uncanny , move
ment under hsr feist. Again It was flt,
this timo so strong that thn pupils looked
up lu terror. Stepping to tho doorway,
Miss Cottman witnessed a sight that
stirred her soul.
Tho White river was out of Kb banks.
'rim school building was already surrounded
and tho rising Hood was swaying the school
house. Mlsit Cottman Instnntly formed a
plan of action.
Across tho uxpanso of water, tugging at
his long rope, was a homo ridden by ono of
tho pupllH to the school. Springing out
fearlessly Into the muddy nnd debris-filled
water, Miss Cottman waded moro than
waist-deep to tho horse's side, then sho
began the struggle back, her helplcfs schnl-
nrH watching her In terror and admlrn-
tlon.
It was frightful al best, but when a
great wave struck tho building, causing It
to totter nnd break partially loose, Miss
Cottmnn'H courage almost fallud. Heroic
ally, however, sho pressed on, fastened tho
ropo to tho x addle, nnd then to thn building,
giving tho building the old of tbo horse u
strength,
For threo quarters of an hour she stood
at tho horse's head and almost up to her
armpits In tho chilling torrent, urging tho
horse to tug ugalnst tho current until ono
of tho largest students waded across to
land and returned with nsslstanco from
uelghborH. Tho children wero rescued, tho
building was Bavcd. It Is BUggCBted In-
night that Homo gnnl recognition ho given
Miss Cottman by the comity, but what
form tho testimonial will tako has mot
been decided.
