Miss Anne r. Stewart. Secretary Of the
State "l, deplored the fact that the Young
Woman's Branch showed signs OF retrogres-
sion rather than OF progression, although

Much of this was owing, she thought, to the

collect dues from members, and thus keep

John D. Rockefeller has been repre-
sented in the meetings Of the ore pro-
duce-s heretofore held during the win
ter. and 1t is understood will be repre-
scented at the coming gathering this
month. The consensus Of opinion among
the larger ore producers seems to be
that there is no better reasons than
ever why the operators should enter
into an agreement. 1t is pointed out
that with the collapse of the steel pool
and the Generalization Of prices on
finished goods. there must necessarily
be big increase in consumption on
account OF buyers desiring to take ad-
vantage Of low prices. This will, Of
course. stimulate the demand for ore
and the operators while admitting that
their prices should largely be regulated
by quotations on the finished product.
believe that they should now. of all
times. work together tremendously.
One of the largest ore producers on
Lake Superior said that beyond the fact
that Mr.. Carnegie had leased from John
d. Rockefeller one or two mines, he
felt confident that there had been no
further deal between them and that all
the talk about consolidation Of interests
or working arrangement between the
two was without foundation.
What is called the last move in a
long line of reductions has been made
by Carnegie. Heretofore he has re-
ceived his ore through middlemen. Here
after he will use the Rockefeller ore,
and 1t will be looked after by his Cleve-
land agent An item of interest in con-
nection with the collapse of the rail
pool is the fact that the Cleveland roll
ing Mill company has been receiving
100000 per annum for refraining from
making steel rails. Many of the Cleve-
land ore men claim that the ore pool

that this news will produce a dangerous

Iron Ore-Danger to the Ore Combine
Now-The Deal with RockefelIcr-The
Pittsburg Iron King In Conference with
his Licutenants.
Pittsburg, Feb. 12-Andrew Carnegie
arrived In the city Wednesday night and
wss closeted yesterday with the officials
OF the Carnegie Steel company, limited,
denying himself to all interviewers
None Of the officials OF the company
would express themselves upon the re-
cent collapse of the billet and rail pools.
and the threatened dissolution Of the
iron ore combination. The iron and steel
market is in a highly agitated state over
the present condition. but 1t is evident
that the Carnegie company is by no
means worIieo over the prospect of open
markets with the flercest competition.
"As far as low prices on billets and steel
rails are concerned. 1t is generally con-
coded that the Carnegies are prepared
20 compete under any conditions. Their
recent completion of the two largest
blast furnaces in the world, by which
the cost of pig iron is reduced; their
alliance with the coke interests. and the
fact that they are paying a wage scale
which contains 10 per cent. bonus that
can be taken of at any time. gives them
an advantage that Is conceded in iron
and steel circles.
Iron Ore Combine May Also Collapse.
"A matter that Is interesting the
trade particularly at this time is the
question whether the iron ore combi-
nation can withstand the influence that
has been wrecking the combinations on
finished products. Last year the output
of ore was apportioned among the man
ufacturers with view to limiting the
production to 100000 tons and putting
the price up from $3.50 per ton to 81
and sustaining 1t at that point. This
was accomplished throughout the year.
but 1t had rs n sustaining influence the
steel rail, billet and beam pools. which
kept up the price Of finished products.
The recent fifty-year lease of the
Mountain Iron mine in the Mesaba
range from the Rockefeller interests by
the Carnegie Steel company ma. prove
q large factor in the ore pool. 1t will
enable this company to secure a large
amount of its ore at a decided advan.
tage. and this advantage will be en-
HANGED by the low railroad rates on the
Butler and Pittsburg railroad, which
the Carnegie company Is building from
Pittsburg to the lakes"

MlcHlGAN'S VOTE IN PERIL.
Might Have Been Thrown Out Of the Elec.
torAl Count for Legal Cause.

"iBet nave fteen Thrown Out Of the Elec-
torAl Count for Legal Cause.
Lansing. Mich. Feb. 12-Since the for
NAL announcement in congress of the
result of the electoral vote it has been
made known that the Michigan cleo
toral vote has all along been in danger
of being declared void. The act passed
by the last legislature which prescribes
the duties of county canvassers makes
no provision for canvassing the vote
cast for presidential electors. although
1t repeats all other laws on the subject.
The few officials and others whose at
tention was drawn to this situation last
summer, all of whom are Republicans
kept 1t very quiet. although the posi-.
bility that the vote of Michigan might
be required to settle the question caused
considerable nervousness for a time
The question was never raised, and the
Democratic state committee seems not
to have been cognizant of the over
sight of the law. 1t will be amended by
the present legislature
