Mr.. Gage Will Not EmbOdy His
Financial Views in One
Measure,
Rut Will Formulate Several For
the Consideration Of
Congress.
Some to Go to the Ways and
Means Committee, Which Ex-
cites Comment.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lit was stated
In reliable quarters about the house OF
that Secretary Gage had
made his purpose known not to en-
BODY his financial views in one compre.
hensive bill but to cover special sub.
iects in a number OF special bills. some
Of which would go before the house
committee on banking and currency
and others before the committee on
ways and means. The banking and
currency committee had formally IN
yited the secretary to present q bill GOV.
ering al the phases Of financial reform
suggested in his recent recommendation
to congress and the desire Of members
of the committee was to treat the sub
iect rs an entirety. For that reason
there was considerable comment wher
il was stated that Mr.. Gage would di
vide the subject into several bills. some
of which would 60 before the ways ant

casioned the iveliest comment, owinI

on the second day of the session an
after spirited exchange between Nj
Dinrley and Mr.. Walker. the chail
men Of the two COMMITTEES
the matter was compromised
The Walker committee felt that

meeting ON Wednesday the formal II
Itation was extended to secreta'
Gage to present q bill based on his re- re-
concentrations to congress. Mr.. ~
of Oonnecticut was designed BY Chai
man Walker, to submit the request

view it became generally understo'
about the house that the secreta
would not comply with the request

THE BISCUIT COMBINE.

FiuisAine. Touohes Being Put ON the
Uuiou >f Three Big Corporations.
NEW YORK, Dec. lit is more than
possible that within the next few days
the bulk OF the cracker or biscuit bust
ness of the United States will be con.
trolled by combination OF the three
corporations that now control the busi'
ness, says the New York Times.
These three corporations are the New
York Biscuit company, the American
Biscuit and Manufacturing company.
an 1 the United States Biscuit company.
1t is generally supposed that the New
York Biscuit company will be the head
as it is said to have been the chief pro-
moter of the combination. This com
pany has for years been quietly absorb
! ing its rivals. The other two big con-
Germs have not been idle. but have been
working industriously to maintain
position Of equality with the New York
/ Biscuit company.
| Three Fold Process Of Absorption.
Each has acquired control Of smaller
concerns in its territory. The three
fold process Of absorption has gone on
until these three great companies now
stand without rivals except among
themselves. The combination now
forming will put an end to this rivalry
and there will be but one biscuit con-
cern, which will control the entire
trade of the country. Its combined
capital will be $25, ,0O0, ,OOO or $50, ,ooo'Ooo'
The officers Of the three big concerns
interested in forming this big comoina'
ton are now in this city to compie'e
the details Of the union. The formation
Of the union was begun as soon as u
} was mutually understood that the three !
i. companies had obtained control OF a.
