What there is back of this gift of Mr. Morgan's is a matter of speculation in Wall street.

Mr. Morgan remained at his office until 3 o'clock this afternoon, perfecting the arrangements. SAID STRIKE MUST END. Those who believe that Mr. Morgan's action is directed against the Presidents ‘of the coal roads assert that Mr Morgan sent for President Truesdale last week and told him ~ that the strike must be settled. President Truesdale is reported to have said that Mr, Morgan mixed in the strike two years ago and made possible [the situation as it exists to-day and that he would. have, to keep out and let the operators go along th2 lines they have ~ laid down. The buying of coal in Wales is taken to be Mr. Morgan's answer to this. TO SACRIFICE BUSINESS.
