American capitalists was laying plans
70 buy out ell the leading type foun.
deres Of this country aud carry on the
business under one head. From in
formation received today, IL appears
thst much Of the rumors was founded
OF factv and that the scheme 10 on
the verge Of contamination. The pro-
moters Of the enterprise, of which
Preeident 4. +. e. Youns Of the First
National Hank Of Jersey City, 10 re-
ported 10 10 the leading figure in
America, have been working along
quietly for many months, and it was
said yesterday that they havo now
secured options of purchase from all
the principal foundrles but two. The
two concerns that have refused 70 fall
in with the scheme are George Bruce's
Son h Co. of No. l3 Maiden Lane, in
this city, and Barnhart Bros. 4 Spindier
Of Chicago.
The plan ~ it is reported is not to
buy the foundriss outright, but to
form them into great combination IN
the purchase price of each foundry is
to Be paid outright in cash, one-thrd
in preferred stock of the combined cor
poration and one-third in ordinary
stock. Tho total valuation OF al the
companies whose options are now held
10 said to reach close to $751;
000, 600. The largest slice will

IS Beekman street, are said 70 value
their businesses at about 81 ,o00, 900
each.
The capital stock for the purposes Of
organization simply was made 500, 900.
What il will be ultimately will not be
disclosed until operations are ready TO
begin. According 70 estimates made
It will be between $15, ,O0O, 900 and $20,-
600, 900. The directors of the compa ny
have al been chosen from different
American foundries and - far - can be
learned there is no intention on the part
Of English capitalists 70 take any activo
part in the management. Robert Alii-
500, of Allison &Smsth. Cinclnnati.was

lar, Of NscKellar. Smith. Jordan b

ager; John Marder. Of Marder. Luse
3 Co., western manager, and A. H. +.
Brewer, of the Union type foundry Of
Chicago, secretary.
"After year or two it is probable
that some Of the foundries will be
stopped. The financial ONCE. accord
ing 10 the present plans will be in New
York, and there will Be other Offices st
Chicago, st. Louis, Philadelphia, Bos-
tor, CINCINNATI, Baltimore and San
Francisco, where the leading foundries
Of the country are now sltualed.
The price of type will not be ad-
vanced when the new company assumes

and avoiding the friction and CON-
petition great saving will b effected. !"

CANADIANS NOT ALARMED.
They Count Upon Vice. Psesident Morton
to Prevent Retaliation.

OTTAWA, Ont, March 1.-THE bill in
troduced in congress- by Senator Nor
gan to Suspend the bonding privilege
enjoyed by Canauian railways, has At
tracted little interest here. There is .
general impression that it will not get
beyond the initial stages, as the ipfiu-
ence of the Canadian railways at Wash
ington is well known. Large interests
in New England and the western states
favor the alternative route via Cana
dian territory. This fact il well recog-
n'zed here. The Canadian Pacific rail-
way, with its American connections,
possesses great influence high IN the re-
publican administration at Washington.
Vice -President Morton was until re-
Gently director Of the Canadian Paci-
fic railway and at al events - large
hotder OF the stock. All the power he
Can bring 70 bear will. II ID expected, l'e

isting regulations.

organ, discussIng too question, says;
Tho senate at Washington talks of
authorizing the president to enforce
United states claims on the seal soas at
the point OF tho cannon. British and
Canadian fealcFs may be seisol again

Britain will no longer tolerate such
