DECIDEDLY OPPOSED TO FUSION
Is Rev. Dawson, Cooredf of the County of
 Greene.

Rev. Ivason Dawson of Greene county, member of the republican state executive committee, and editor of a colored repub- lican paper, was in the city yesterday He came up to attend the meeting of the committee Thursday He was inter- viewed by State Herald reporter with reference to his attitude on the ques- ton of fusion with the populists.
 He said he was opposed to fusing with the poplists or any other element of dis satisfied democrats.
 Are you a member of the republican state executive committee?" asked the reporter.
 II am member of the committee, and came here yesterday to attend the meet ing. and the people in my district, whom I represent, who are principally colored republicans instructed me to vote against any resolution pertaining to a fusion or cooperation of the republicans and populists. Each county in my dis trlct, except two, sent the charmen of the county committees here yesterday for the purpose of protesting against a fusion of any kind. Those chairmen called on me yesterday and urged me to vote against any resolution favoring yefj- operation or fusion of any kind. A4id if I had voted for such a resolution I would feel that I had misrepresented the col ored republicans in my district"
 Would you support fusion ticket in- dorsed by a republican convention?"
 "If the republican convention, without undue influences. urges such a course I will support a fusion ticket"

To Revoke It's Charter.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Attorney Maloney will bring quo warranto proceedings in the circuit court tomorrow against the Illinois Steel company for the purpose of having it's charter revoked. The com pany was incorporated in 1889 and in- cludes the North Chicago Rolling Mill company, the Union Steel company and the Joliet Steel company. The original organization was the Chicago Rolling company, incorporated by special act of the legislature in 1869. The capital stock was $3,000000, of which only one-third was issued The attorney-generals doc- ument states that the original corpora tion purchased the Chicago Rolling Mill company, paying for it with stock, and in 1889 absorbed the Union company. The consolidated concern was called the Illi- nois Steel company, the capital stock be- ing fixed at $25.0OOO0O. It is alleged the combine increased it's capital stock to $50, ,000, ,000, and in representing that this was its authorized capital stock the at- torney-general declares that the com pany has usurped It's legal powers.
