some length with tho ministers of the

salient featuro of tho correspondence Is tho
disclosure of the difficulties that havo been
encountered by the ministers In tho effort
to find common ground for tho arrange

pearing that there wero as many projects

PEK1N, April G. On one subject the

thing or lose prestige wl.h the. Chine o.
The members of tho British legation In
particular are satisfied that China's refusal
to sign tho MancburUn agreement means
It will sooa sign something similar In order
to protect Its own Interests and have even
nominal control of Manchuila, which Is now
practtcully Russian territory.

famous abolitionist and duelist, and former
United States minister to Russia, this
rooming led his llttlo bodyguard to battlo
against the sheriff's posse, which bad gone
to his mansion In MadUon county, to servo
papers upon the general In a civil suit, In
stituted against him by bis daughter, Mrs.
Mary I). Clay.
Many shots wero fired on each side, and
tbo posse finally departed without accom
plishing tho purpose of Its vUlt. It is
reported that General Clay was wounded.
Placing from bis supposed enemies ho bar
ricaded himself In his "don" In tho man
sion, and thero he remains guarded by
his faithful servants. Whether or not ho
Is wounded Is known only to himself and
to his little bodyguard. No surgeon has
been summoned to the house, and nono dare
approach except on Invitation.
Today's conflict was directly connected
with the domestic woes of General Clay,
which havo darkened tho closing years of
his life.
Tho principals In the battle were Gen
eral Clay and two of his bodyguard, Hud

After emptying tho shotgun General Clay
tried his revolver, which would not fire. Ho
then took from tho hands of tho other guard
a rlflo and discharged It In tho direction of
the frightened sheriff and deputies. Ex
hausting his ammunition General Clay
sought retreat. Ho went Into his room and
putting up tho Iron bars ordered his men
to adjust tho pistols, which were three

a dresser. Ho armed himself with a largo
bowlo knife nnd a butcher knife. Station
ing himself by the sldo of tho door ho
awaited further attack
After General Clay bad retreated Into his

n "Community of In
terest." NEW. YORK, April 5. Reports that hueo
railroad combinations are In procrss of for
mation wero widely circulated hero today.
Detailed statements concerning the plan al
ready published looking lo tho combina
tion of all tho great railway systems of the
United States under tho control of one com
pany wero given, but as a general thing
prominent railroad officials nnd bankers
declined lo discuss tbo matter.
. According lo all accounts tho entcrpilxo
Involves tho greatest eouiblnnlou of capi
tal known In the history of finance. It was
said tho company would be formed under
tho Inws of Now Jersey for the purpose of
conducting n general freight and transpor
tation business throughout thn United
Stntcs; that tho company would hold u
controlling interest In all of the great rail
way systems and that the managemrat nf
tho roads would bo vested lu tho controlling
company.
According to tho proposition each rond
would preserve Its Identity aud corporate
exlstenre, hut the new company would con
trol tho affairs of oil. By this policy, It was
claimed, large sums of money could ho
saved ns a result of economy In manage
ment nnd stoppage In rate cutting.
tircnt .Niuiii' In the 1. 1st.
Thn nnmes of men like J. Plerpout Mor
gan, Wllllnni K. Vunderbllt, James J, Hill,
Edward II. Harriman, (ieorgo J. Oould,
John D. Rockefeller, Jacob II. Schlff and
James Stlllman were freely used. Onc re
port stated thnt tho first step In thc pro
posed plan would bo securing of control of
stocks of the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy,
tho Great Northern nnd the Northern Pa
cific, nnd thnt provision would bo mndo for
tho acquisition of other properties in tho
Immediate future.
Discussing thn reported amalgamation of
tho railway Intorcsta In the country tho
New York Press will say tomorrow:
"All that Is aimed at, according to tho
test authority obtainable, Is a 'community
ot' IntcrestB.' The close amalgamation on
H. 'community of Interest' basis was nrt
brought about" through the .efforts of J.
J'lorpont Morgnn. Art a result ot thin fclono
union of Interests ruinous rato wars nro
already at an end, not bo many high-priced
officials arc needed ns beforo and ono can
buy a ticket on nny trunk line In almost
uny ono of the largo offices In tbo cities.
However, that a slngio company will be
formed under tho Now Jersey laws to tako
over all tho railroads of tho country Is not
considered seriously by well-Informed rail
road men."
(iiiclnnutl lleportn Another,
Dispatches received In HiIh city tonight
from Cincinnati stated thut a gigantic
amalgamation ot four railways under tho
guiding hand of J. Plerpout Morgan had
already taken place. Tho roads mentioned
were tbo Southern railway, tho Cincinnati,
lamilton & Dayton, the Chicago, Indian
apolis & LouIbvUIo and tho Cincinnati
Southern.
Relative to this particular report Gen
eral Samuel Thomas, president of the Chi
cago, Indianapolis & Louisville railroad, to
night mild:
"At tho present tlmo thero Is llttlo to
say about tho deal. I believe tho report
that comes from Cincinnati Is a llttlo bit
iremnture. I do not believe tho amalgama-
Ion has been effected yet.
"It Is true that steps nro tinder con
sideration looking to u combination of the
roads mentioned. I think It wlll bo offectod.
for all tho Interests aro favorable to It.
It can scarcely be called nn amalgamation
ot tbo roads under tho schemo that Is under
consideration. It Is merely a centralization
of power looking toward tho best Interests
of tho various roads."
