COOUETTTSH TRUSTS.
Giant Monopolies Want to Tighten
Grin On the PeopIe.

New York. Sept. 5.-Defnite proposals
have been made by the Federal Steel
company, the giant trust recently formed,
to absorb the American Steel and Wire
company organized last spring with a
capital stock of $24. 900 and known as
the wire trust.
The wire company was organized in
April with a capital stock of $24, 900 900. 1t
controls 20 per cent of the countrys pro-
duction of wire rods and barbed wire, and
its amalgamation with companies that
mine and transport iron ore and convert
it into steel will add greatly to the scope
of the consolidation.
1t is understood that President Lambert
and the officers of the wire company who
are in the city to confer regarding the
proposed consolidation will insist upon the
admission of their stock on basis where
it would share fully and fairly in the
prospective consolidation benefits.

GEN. YOUNG'S BAD LUCK.
Has Sustained Fracture of an Arm
aud a Foot.

Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, L. I, Sep
TENDER 5.-Gen. Young is a candidate for
the hospital and it is possible he may be
ing. This afternoon while walking along
the road, near the railroad station, he
tripped on a piece of wire and fell. In
the civil war a bullet broke his right arm
and he has never been able since then to
raise his hand to his shoulder. When he
fell this afternoon this stiff arm was be-
meath him, and the bone was broken. He
is now in his tent.
A few days ago, while riding his horse,
his animal SHE'D at something and collid-
ed with telegraph pole, with the gen.
erals left foot between his body and the
pole This broke some of the small bones
below the ankle. Since then the general
has had to ride in a carriage, but kept at
his work. His new accident will prob
ably force him to leave.

Under the caption "Stupendous Pow
er and Wealth" the New York World
refers to the projected iron and steel
combine as follows:
In reaching out for the barbed wire
trust the great Rockefeller Carnegie
iron and steel combine" has disclosed
the full proportions of its plans and
purposes.
The Federal Steel company" as the
combine will probably be called, in
tends to control the iron business of the
country. 1t will mine or control the
mining of all the ore. 1t will fix the
price of every pound of iron. It will
manufacture or control the manufac-
ture of every kind of iron product, from
armOr plate and guns and beams and
rails to wire, barbed and plain, and cold
chisels and hammers and nails.
AS iron is the foundation and the
skeleton of the superstructure of our
material civilization, the few men at
the head of this combine will exercise
a stupendOus influence upon the divis-
ion and distribution of the wealth of
this nation, and therefore upon its So
cial and political life.
Behind the Federal Steel company
there is a dream of wealth and power
and aggrandiZement that would have
seemed fantastic a few years ago but
is now in a favorable way to complete
realization,
