Standard Oil Power in the Colorado Fnel King Now the Ruling Company. New York, June 25.—John D. Rockefeller is now the ruling power in the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co, John C Osgood, for many years head of the concern, who last year conducted a winning fight against John W. Gates and the Hawley- Harriman combine in their attempts to wrest coutrol from him, stepped down yesterday afternoon, with the announcement that he gave way to others who had acquired larger inter ests. A Rockefeller representative was elected chairman of the board in his stead. Of course, the George Gould inter- est in the company is aliied to that of the Rock: fellers. This ends a fight which has lasted nearly two years, and which has cost the company thousands of dollars. It began in an attempt by John W. Gates early last year to get control. Osgood, through the Colorado H. Harriman and Ewing Hawley then formed & syudicate to get control and used the name of George Gould as a mem ber. Mr. Gould repudiated the con- nection and began buying the stock on his own account Osgood formed & coalition with to testify in the ease, and also in the bribery case, and he doos not want torun any risk of attempts being made to show that his statements are contradictory. “Twill try,” he said, “to find em- ployment in Louisville.

My oldest daughter cawe to Lexing- ton with me, but fearing trouble in Jackson, went back to be with her mother, Tcannot go back to Jackson, I have not even seen the ruins of my house. My wife says the house and the furnishings were all destroyed and that even the furniture which was saved was broken all to pieces by being thrown out the windows. Ihad a fine hotel, It contained 43 rooms, and was furnish- ed with nice beds, dressers and other furniture. It had been insured for $5,000 but that had all been cancel- ed, andevenifit had been paid it would not have covered my loss, Tam notin hiding and I will not go into hiding. I will work and will not attempt to conceal where | am. I will not go back to Jackson.” Capt. Ewen stated that he is ready to go to Cynthiana to testify against Jett and White at their second trial He seems to be proud of the part he has taken in this matter, and is anx ious to testify before another court Capt.

Kelley’s Price of Exile. St. Louis, June 25.—Information which reached Mr. Folk this morn- ing from a source that is usually reliable, says Daniel J. Kelley is drawing a salary of $1,000 a month in Canada. The letter says Kelley has a salary of $12,000 a year and the inference is that he is satisfie1 with it. The work of staying in Can- ada would not be hard for some, but it-is irksome for Kelley. The salary is the same as that of- fered to John A. Lee at Kansas City, but Lee was to get it only as long as the statute of limitation should run on the cases he had told about. These facte establish the price of exile. It takes $1,000 a month to keep a man away from hie country and he does not always accept that. The way this latter information comes sug- geate a possibility that Kelley may be making some of his talk about coming to Missouri for the benefit of the New York millionaires who evi dently want him to stay away. a Cotton pasees the 15-cent mark at New York, and predictions are made that it may go to 18, 20 or even 30 cents before the campaign is ended, the bulls being in apparently com- plete control. seinem Edley McCoole, charged with mur- dering William G.
