A LOOSE" COMBINATION.
Iron and Steel Men May Join HANDS
to Fight Rockefeller and
Carnegie.

New York, Feb. 1S.-There is pros
pect of ''loose combination of ore
shipping, freight and railroad interests
which will array the principal steel rail
manufacturers of the United States in
an alliance to combat the plans of Rookie
Teller and Carnegie.
If such organization has not already
been effected, well-informed men predict
that within sixty days another pool will
have been formed which will enlist the
same baronial family, barring only the
biggest baron of them all-Carnegie.
The Bethlehem, Cambria, Illinois Steel
company, Maryland Steel company. Ohio
Steel company, Lackawanna and Scran-
ton will, it is confidently predicted, come
into the pool
The formal dissolution Of the rail pool
is now said to have been accepted by
the Bethlehem people as absolving them
from other contracts and agreements into
which they had entered with Mr.. Carne-
gle. In the offer of Vice-President
Palmer of the Illinois Steel company
made few days ago to furnish this gov
eminent, or any other government, armor
plate at less than so per cent. of the
contract price paid Carnegie, steel men
think they see evidences of Bethlehem's
withdrawal from the contract made with
the Scotchman.

Berlin, Feb 18.-It is learned that the

adopted.
This with other information, tends to

GOMEZ IS IN RETREAT.
AdVices from Cuba State that
- Weyler is in Close
Pursuit.
Copyrighted, 1897, by the Associated Press.

Havana, via Key West, Fla, Feb. IS.
If the official reports are correct the
insurgent army under Gen. Maxine Go
mez has been divided into small corps
and Gomez himself is in full retreat be-
fore the continued advance of Capt
Gen. Weyler.
Dispatches from Ciego de Avila say
that the insurgent commander-in-chief,
with 1000 men, has recroSSed the mill
tary line in the province of Puerto Prin-
clDe, extending from Jucaro to Moron,
and that he is going eastward through
Puerto Principe and in the direction of
lhc capital of the province, also called
Puerto Principe.
Gen. Calixto Garcia (Gomez's second
III command was reported four days ago
to be III the vicinity of Puerto Principe,
and retreating towards the same point as
Gomez.
Capt Gen. Weyler arrived yesterday at
Sancti Spiritus, the most important town
in the eastern part of the province of
Santa Clara, near the boundary of Puerto
Principe and IN the territory where the
insurgent headquarters was recently To-
Gated and as he has been able to reach
that place, apparently without any serious
moestation upon the part of the insur-
gents. the report that Gomez is retreating
would appear to be borne out by facts.
The statements from the Spanish head
quarters are even more explicit. 1t is
announced that the insurgents have re-
treated to the mountains and to the
woods before the Spanish advances from
Sancti Spiritus. Capt.-Gen. Weyler will
push forward his columns to Moron,
Ciego de Avila and Jucaro, thus seem
lngly sweeping across the island with
large force and driving the enemy before
him towards the eastern part Of the
island
Strategically Gen. Weyler's position is
Il good one and we'll adapted to keep his
,roops well supplied. He expects 20 trap
Gomez between the two wings of the
Spanish column and thus force a de-
cisive engagement before the rains put
IN end to military operations. The Gu
bans believe, however, that Gomez will
as usual slip through the Gordon before
being completely enveloped.

They Trail the Animal and Succeed in
Shooting 1T.
A correspondent writes from Brigham
City. Utah:
1.-THE heavy SHOWS that have fallen the
past two weeks have driven down from
the adjacent mountains many wild ami
mails to seek food near the settlements.
The tracks of large mountain lion were
discovered near town Friday night; two
young men set traps for the prowler. On
visiting the place yesterday morning they
saw they had caught some large, power
full animal; the trap he was caught in was
broken, but while he had been engaged
in extricating himself he was caught in
the other trap which held fast The boys
started on the trail. After following it
over a mile they caught sight of a large
mountain lion dragging the trap. The
boys were armed with rifles. and on COM
ing within range sent two bullets into the
beast With a fearful roar he attempted
to charge them, but owing to the heavy
trap and his exhaustion, he could make
but slow progress, and the boys soon dis
patched him. On bringing their game in
to the city large crowds gathered to see,
and the lion was pronounced the largest
animal of the kind ever seen in these

DUEsTRoW's BRAIN WAS AFFECTED
So Declare the Surgeons Who Held
Postmortem Examination.

St. Louis, Mo-, Feb. 1S.-Owing to the
great difference of opinion as to the true
condition of the mind of DR.. Arthur
Duestrow, the murderer of wife and
child, who was hanged at Union yes
terday, post-mortem examination of his
brain was made by a number of special
lists.
The examination, which was but a
cursory one, resulted in a conviction
among the physicians that Duestrow' S
brain was in an abnormal condition. A
careful microscopic examination will fol-
low and the results as they appear will
be given to the public. Drs. Bremen.
Bauduy, Crandall and Simon gave out
this statement Of what they found: '"The
post-mortem disclosed evidences of diffuse
hyperaemia of the brain and membranes.
There existed some opacity and milky
spots upon the arachnoid and pia mem
branes, the result Of previous chronic
leptomeningitis."

Meet Presidential Approval.

Meet Presidential Approval.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 1S.-The
Immigration bill now goes to the Presi-
dent, the last legislative step having
been taken in the Senate today by an
agreement to the conference report on
the bill Strong opposition was made to
the report, but on the final vote the
friends of the measure rallied small
majority. the vote being: Yeas, "a;
nays. 81. There is little doubt that the
President will veto it.
The bill as passed extends the immi-
grafton restriction against "all persons
physically capable and over 16 years of
age who cannot read and write the Eng
lish language or some other language,
but a person not able to read and write

parent or grandparent of a qualified i'm
migrant over p years of age and capa-
BILE of supporting such parent or grand
parent, may accompany such immigrant,
or such parent or grandparent may be
sent for and come to join the family of
a child or grandchild over p years Of
age, similarly qualified and capable, and
a wife or minor child not SO able to read
and write may accompany or be sent
for and come to join the husband or
parent similarly qualified and capable"
For the purpose of testing the immi-
grants literacy, he is compelled to
read and write from twenty to twenty
five words of the United States consti-

Chicago. This decision, SO important to
the golfng world, was reached by unani-
United States Golf association, held this
evening at Delmonico's. The Eastern
golfers made no fight, and the opinion
was almost unanimous that in the inter
est of justice and good craftsmanship the
claims of Chicago and her able golfers
should be recognized. The indication is
that every Eastern golfer of marked
prominence will be seen on the Western
golf links this season. This action means
that the amateur and open champion
ships of the United States will be played
on the fine eighteen-hole course of the

FOLLOW HIS CREED.
Ingersoll's Suicide Teachings Have
Cost Four Lives-Fifth Per-
sons Attempt.

New York, Feb. 17.-Robert J. Viii
son, a clerk in charge of Col. Ingersolrs
office at 5S William street, attempted to
commit suicide by swallowing prussic
acid. He was prevented from doing so
by Charles Wynne, mining operator
of Spokane, Wash, and a stranger who
was in the office. The effort of young
Wilson to end his life was in many re-
spects the most startling of attempts
made by believers in Col. Ingersolfs
creed of suicide. He had some domestic
troubles and had been continually talk
ing about suicide.
Col lngersoll created sensation last
year by defending the right of man or
woman to commit suicide In his lectures
and magazine articles he maintained that
those fatally i'll, in misery, in want, or
dishonored, were justified in ending life
to end their woes. He adheres to that
opinion STILL
Col. Ingersoll, speaking of Wilson's
crime, said: 1T was a silly thing for
him to do-a very silly thing. 1t is
wonder to me, though, looking at all the
misery there is, that more persons do
not kill themselves"
1t appears to be more than a coinci-
dence that since Col. 1ngersol aroused
storm of criticism by insisting that
suicide was 10 sin and in many cases
desirable and worthy. two of his clerks
and two of his relatives have taken
their own lives. Young Wilson is the
fifth of those either related to the colo
mel, or closely associated with him, who
have put into practice his teachings of
self-destruction.
William Sanford Lawton. who was for
several years a student in Col Ingersol's
office, shot himself to death in Lincoln
park. Chicago, last Saturday. Norman
S. Wussey, who had been the colonel's
chief clerk. took his life on August II
last. He jumped from a station of the
Sixth Avenue Elevated railroad and ran
UP the track toward an approaching
train. He leaped from the track to the
ground when he found he was pursued
by brakeman. Both legs were broken
by the fall and he died from his injuries
a few days later
