10 the probable Inclusion Of this rail-
road IN the far-reaehing plans Of The
Federal Steel Company. II Is stated
that this road Is tn form one Of the var
fouB transportation lines which are 10
serve aS auxillaries OF the steel COM
blnation. The Federal now owns the
Chicago, Lake Shore and Eastern and
the Chicago, Eigln and Joliet railroads,
whereby connection Is made with and
It's products delivered TO oil lines cen-
terIng at Chicago. BY the use Of the
Duluth, Mesabn and Northern railroad
and It's own lake service Of boats, the
Federal Company brings ore direct from
it's own mines to the smelling works at
South Chicago and Milwaukee. The
company IL Its own coke producer, own
lng and operating one OF the largest
plants OF mines and ovens IL the Con-
nellsville, Pa. coke region. With the
control OF the Cleveland, Lorain &
Wheeling, supplemented by Its own
feet OF lake steamers from Loraln II
would require only a small investment
for the Federal Steel Company to con-
meet It's coke ovens with its furnaces
and mills by Its own lines OF trans
portadon. The earrying-out OF such
scheme, would. II Is pointed out by the
friends Of the Cleveland, Loraln &
Wheeling, add materially to the value
Of that property.
Says the current issue OF Bradstreets:
Details having been adjusted to the
satisfaction Of all the interests concern
ed, the consolidation OF the Minnesota
Iron Company, the Illinois Steel Com
pany, and the Elgin. Joliet & Eastern
railroad, under the title OF the Federal
Steel Company, Is now In the way OF
becoming an accomplished fact. The
incorporation OF the latter company was
completed last week in the state OF New
Jersey with q capital OF 500, 900, d.
Vided equally into common and prefer
red shares. The preferred stock Is TO
be entitled to per cent dividends, nom
cumulative, The size OF the capttattza-
ton makes the concern the largest In
dustrial corporation in the country and
in view OF the diversity OF the manufac-
turing and transportation interests I'm
VOWED, the articles of Incorporation
clothe the concern with a variety OF
powers to do business, which have led
portion Of the press to conclude that the
object aimed at ID gigantic monopoly,
which WIN ultimately seek to control the
production of Iron, steel and coke in the
United States. There Is, however, 1T
tie real foundation for such t1nclful
conclusions The end sought Is the
consolidation OF specific properties on a
more profitable basis through the econ
omles resulting from the union under
one management OF all branches OF the
raw material to the safe OF the finished
product. The large capitalization Of
the new Federal Steel Company allows
considerable latitude for the acquisition
OF other similar properties. and now
that the matter Is actually approaching
consummauop It is practically certain
that the deal will result In corporation
OF enormous capital, and with one Of
the most extensive plants for the pro-
ductiir Of steel, not only in the coun-
try but In the world.

ARCHBlSHOP'S VIEWS


on the Philippine QuestIom-IloPss the
Islands 1VIIlNot Remain spnuiSh-snys
the Religious Orders Must Go.
MANILA, Sept. 1s.-1n an interview
here with him by the correspondent of
the Associated Press, Archbishop Do
zal. Of the Philippine Islands, said:
II earnestly hope the islands will not
remain Spanish, because the rebels are
now so strong that such course would
Inevitably cause appalling bIOodshed.
The re-conquest of the natives is i'm
possible until after years Of the most
cruel warfare"
He also expressed the hope that the
Islands would not become absolutely in
dependent, because It was certain that
dlssenslons would occur which would
result in incessant strife, and a lapse
into barbarlsm and the natural indo-
lence of the tropical race. The only
hope. the archbishop declared. was that
a strong western power would intervene
now. Delay was dangerous, because the
people are Intoxicated, vain glorious and
restless.
He said It was undeniable that the
religious orders must go, because the
whole people had determined to abolish
them, now that they were able to render
their retention impossible. He lays the
chief blame upon the Dominicans, Au-
gustine and Franciscan receletans,
the richest orders, and next upon the
Benedlctines and Capuchlns, which are
OF less Importance. The Jesul,s. Arch
bishop Dozal says, are comparatively
blameless. He added that the rival or
ders. quarrel among themselves,
intrigue, act unworthily and SANDER
their opponents, thus increasing their
general disfavor.
The provlncials, who are approxim-
ately equal to arch-deacons. are main
Iy responsible. They are utterly beyond
the control of the archbishop, who de-
niles possessing much power.
The total number OF Spanish priests
in the Philippines before the war was
about one thousand. but lately every
departing steamer has taken fifty or
hundred of them away. and now barely
Ave hundred remain.
a native priest privately stated to the
correspondent that the reason the arch.
bishop hopes for the expulsion OF the
frlarly orders Is that they have grown
too powerful for him, and that he wishes
to strengthen himself. Several respon-
slhle spanlards assure the correspond
ent that they would refuse to remain
here II Spain were reinstated in control
of the Islands. Mony Of the Spanish
soldiers refuse to serve again, and Span
lsh officers are utterly disguised with
the rottonness of spain's government
and prefer to become American sub
jecss.
The annexnuonlsts have a majority
OF II In the national assembly, bu, the
discussion of the subject has not been
finished.
