Attorney Samuel Untermeyer tonight gave out a statement in which he says that a protracted meeting was held today at his office and continued tonight at Del-monico's which had reference to the litigation between the American Smelting company and the Standard Oil interests, represented by H. H.

Rogers and Leonard Lewisohn, over the merging of the M. Guggenheim Sons' plants. Mr. Untermeyer's statement goes on to say: "The differences were finally settled and the interests of the Standard Oil company are now closely allied with those of the American Smelting company, while the United Metal Selling company becomes the selling agent for the consolidated company. "The certificate increasing the capital stock of the company to was filed out with the secretary of state at Trenton tonight.

"In order to avoid any further complications the new stock was immediately issued and delivered to the Guggenheims, and they have conveyed their properties to the company, so that the amalgamation is now complete. There was $22,000 in revenue stamps required for the stock certificates, and almost half that amount to stamp the deeds. The World will say: Differences between the majority and minority stockholders of the American Smelting and Refining company have been adjusted and the suit restraining the corporation from increasing its capital stock to $100,000,000 for the purpose of purchasing the properties of M. Guggenheim Sons has been withdrawn. This announcement came yesterday just prior to the handing down of a decision by Justice Dixon of Trenton, ordering that the stay enjoining the purchase of the property be continued and that the proceedings to increase the stock remain in status quo pending final argument and decision by the court of chancery as to the real value of the Guggenheim property.

H. H. Rogers and Leonard Lewisohn of the United Metal Selling company wanted to act as its own agent after the consolidation, whereas the selling company had handled the smelting company's business for years. Messrs. Rogers and Lewisohn withdrew from the directory of the smelting company.

Negotiations looking toward a peaceful settlement have been in progress for the past two months and culminated last night at a meeting held at Delmonico's. By the terms accepted, the selling company will again act as selling agent of the American Smelting and Refining company. The plans are also to re-elect Messrs. Lewisohn and Rogers to the directory of the consolidated company. The Meta.1 Selling company exports about 55,000,000 ounces of silver yearly, nearly all of which it handles in its capacity as agent of the American Smelting and Refining company.

The Guggenheim company's yearly export is about 25,000,000 ounces. The consolidated companies wjll control about 90 per cent of the business. The settlement of the difficulties means that the silver and copper pro duction of the United States will be i controlled by one company. The Metal Selling company, which is recognized as a Rockefeller concern, now controls the copper trade, its yearly shipments amounting- to 80 per cent of the entire output of the country. It is interested also in large foreign copper properties.

The annual business of the American Smelting and Refining company is about $75,000,000. Mnrr Iniirrntw Surrender. Washington, D. April 8. Late mail advices to the war department contain the details of the surrender of the insurgent leader, Emitro Funes, at Bulan.

There was a flow from two big punch bowls, too, afterwards, but within legal limits. The oral reception was given in the hall of the Union Club, over Mercantile Club rooms. President McAnany introduced as the chairman of the evening, Prof. L. E.

Wolfe, Superintendent -of the Kansas City, Kansas public schools, and read letters of regret from Senator Burton and Judge Hook. With a few very appropriate remarks Mr. Wolfe introduced each of the distinguished speakers first President Schmelzer of the Commedcial Club, who said among other wise and witty things: "Around here you have sites for homes unsurpassed in natural lovliness, the great Missouri and Kaw river bottoms furnish the sites for the workshops for these twin cities, while on the surrounding hills the thousands of toilers have their homes. Their work is for the common cause, the upbuilding and making of a greater Kansas City, U. S.

A. Let us work with but one purpose and work with such harmony that we may look so much alike that one can not be distinguished from the other. Let us cement the ties be-twetn the two Kansas Citys." When Governor Stanley arose respond to the chairman's introduction he said: "There is a marked difference between George Washington and the weilder of the hatchet that your chairman speaks of. George never told a lie." Then he reminisced, saying: "Twenty-five years ago I ran a' dry goods" store in Wichita, and your new mayor here was my partner. Twenty-five years ago I drove to Oskaloosa and bought a shot gun from the president ot fhe Commercial Qub, Mr.

Schmelzer." Spreading himself over the prairies of Kansas he spoke of their immense production, but said her sons were her best products, and instanced Fred Funston. "Let us think of him for moment, he said, and forget that irresponsible freak imported from Kentucky." Congressman Bowersock next spoke in the happiest vein of the evening, as if h'e had always talk ed business until now he let his corked up humor out. 'I would like to present a toast tonight," said he, and here it is: "Here's to Kansas, and here's to the two Kansas Citvs. which welded together, are destined to be the latest and best in the Mis- cniiri irollr inH horn Vi ma. souri vallev, and here's to the men of the Mercantile Club, and to the men of the Commercial Qub, whh oare to make that city the greatest city in the West." Then he presented a cluster of shrewd and witty things, to quote any one of which would be like showing a single sample brick out of a fine building.

L. Boyle, formerly attorney general of Kansas, but now a citi zen of Kansas City, was heartily cheered when he said: "Looking into the future, we can see this great territory, now dominated by St. Louis and Q11 cago, conquered by the combined Kansas Citys. The future of the two Kansas Citys lies in their fra ternal union. The welding of these two cities into a great com mercial enterprise will be the making of a greater and grander Kansas City.

The new mayor of Kansas City Kansas, W. N. Craddock, was the next speaker. He said: "Kansas Qty, Kansas, delights to honor her distiniruished guests frmn her nwn and her sister states take a familv nride in oointincr out to our friends from across the Kaw the splendid legal and exec utive abuitv grown on rvansas i' soil, as evidenced in the person of Governor Stanley, Congressman Bowersock, Auditor Cole, Lieu tenant Governor Richter and Sup erintendent of Public Instruction Wlsnn.

"We feel toward our sister club like a poor man entertaining a rich relation, you are men who do thingsand in this material age results govern.

Pi evident Will Ex rcUe Authority Over tl.e I.lamls Through Secretary ICoot Governor It' l'owr Will ot le urt "lied. Washington, D.

April 8. The news from Manila regarding the establishment of civil government is in accord with information already made public here that the new Philippine government will be established about July 1. Immediately upon the passage of the army appropriation bill the entire Spooner amendment was cabled to the Taft commission and the commission was directed to prepare a plan for the government of the islands in accordance with the law. The plan has not yet been completed, but it is expected to be about the time of the return of the commission to Manila, and it will be cabled here for approval or amendment. The civil government proposed will not be very elaborate, but sufficient to meet the present requirements.

One of the most interesting features is the question as to who will be in supreme authority under the president. The law says that "all military, civil and judicial powers necessary to govern the Philippine islands shall be vested in such person and persons as the president shall -direct." The language has been weighed very carefully and the designation "person" followed by "persons" is taken to mean that the president shall name some one to have supreme command under his own direction and that the persons shall be those acting under that command. Judge Taft. it is understood, Is to be the governor of the islands, But it will be necessary to have some one in Washington to act as the medium of communication between the president and the governor. There will be a great deal of business, with which the president can not burden himself, and some cabinet officer will be selected to have charge of the Philippines, as well as the other insular affairs.

Authority over the islands probably will be exercised by the president through Secretary Root, as the secretary already is familiar with the government machinery of the islands. More than this, the law specifically asserts that military as well as civil and judicial powers shall be exercised in the islands, and it i3 not believed feasible to divide the responsibility, as for many years to come there must be joint and harmonious action by the civil and military authorities. There already grown up in the war department since the Spanish war a division of insular affairs which has had in charge all matters pertaining to the civil operations, not only in the Philippines, but in Cuba. At present, Lieutenant Colonel Edwards is in charge of this division, and his familiarity with conditions in the Pilippines, he having spent a great deal of time there, makes him a valuable official. It is probable that if the Philippines be administered through the war department Colonel Edwards will continue in eharee of the division.

The fact that the actual control of the islands will remain in. the war department does not mean that Governor Taft will have his power curtailed. Necessarily the president will remain the court of last resort for everything relating to the islands, but the governor and his council will exercise the broadest authority and much that heretofore has been submitted to Washington for determination by the military governor general and the Taft commission is expected to be settled by the governor, council and the executive assembly, should one be thought necessary. The general belief expressed here is that the governor and council will be about all the government necessary. I DK1NTI IHSCOVKUKI).

Suicide. Hod) Befanlz1 a that of a Suiill ar soldier. Kansas City. April 9. The young man who committed suicide Saturday night by shooting himself through the heart in a rooming house at 1040 Union avenue, has been identified as Fred C.

Brown, formerly of Parsons. Kas. The body was positively identified yesterday at Carroll and Davidson's undertaking rooms by C. M. Fletcher, an M.

K. T. engineer. whose home is in Parsons. The dead man was formerly a fireman on the M.

K. T. road. When war with Spain was declared he enlisted in a Montana regiment and saw service in Cuba, the Philippines and China. At one time he was an orderly of General Chaffee's.

"While in Cuba he contracted tuberculosis and has been a sufferer from that disease. Brown was known in Salina, where he spent several weeks last November. He seemed to have considerable money. His health was very poor, which he claimed was due to his service in the army. He had applied for a pension, and failing to secure it immediately, he probably became despondent, which caused him to refer in his note to the United States as an ungrateful government.

Brown was originally from Indiana, and went to Montana several years ago. where ne entered a ciaim. ai ine outbreak of the Spanish-American war he enlisted with the Montana regiment. After the regiment's muster out he remained in the Philippines, later going to China, where he saw service for a short time. He stated while in Salina that he intended to go to Oklahoma with hl3 brother and purchase a farm.

The brother lives in Indiana, but the place of his residence cannot be ascertained. Czar'a Health Shaken.
