His Opposition to Trusts Drove Him
Out of Business.

Pittsburg, May 5.-Andrew Carnegie's
retirement from the steel business has
aroused considerable interest here in his
old home, but to many his decision caused
no surprise. They have thought that Mt.
Carnegie viewed with uneasiness the grad
ual incorporation of the various iron and
steel industries into trusts. and anticipated
the time when his company. in self-de-
fence must follow in the same line.
Mr.. Carnegie is said not to like trusts.
the nearest approach TO one that ne was
ever in-the famous steel rail pool-haying
been only q temporary agreement as 10
prices between business competitors. Sew
eral weeks ago Mr.. Carnegie referred
somewhat sarcastically to the modern in
dnstrial combination. with its trappings
of preferred and common stock and
bonds,'' and said he preferred the "old-
fashioned way of selling iron and steel.
II is well known that the famous iron
master is an anti-imperialist and that he
thinks the coming Presidential campaign
Will be fought with the antitrust and
anti-expansion people on one side. As
chief stakeholder In the Carnegie Com
pany and that company a member OF the
trust. he would occupy an illogical position
in the antitrust and antl-expansion party
By selling out his interests he will be able
money 10 endeavor to bring about the
success OF his anti-expanslon propaganda.
To the suggestion that the hatred enter
tanned toward him by union men may
cause his advocacy Of any public question
TO be OF doubtful utility to the cause, his
friends reply that II was not Carnegie, but
II. c. Frick, who conducted the Carnegie
Company's end OF the Homestead strike
and that his approval OF Mr.. Frick's course
was only a demonstration OF loyalty to
his business partner, and that he consid-
ers himself really very good friend to
labor.
Mr.. Carnegie could not, of course. as
soc,ate himself with any party believing
IN free silver at ratio OF is TO /, but
Mr.. Carnegie has confidence in himself
and may perhaps expect to be able to elm
mate that troublesome question from the
next campaign. Indeed the theory is

Extra Session of Congress. Likely,

There is 4 growing belief among prominent
members Of Congress that President Mckinley
viii call Congress to convene in extraordinary
session which will probably be early in October.
To several members of Congress who are going
abroad this summer the President has particularly
enquired as to the length OF their stay and he
has limited that it was advisable that they should
be back in the early fall as the necessity for
an extra session might arise. The questions re-
lating to currency reform. the Nicaragua Canal,
and merchant marine are Of such great Importance
that the President regards it advisable 10 have
Congress to act upon them. 30 are the questions

CONSOLIDATION OF PLANTS.
The Potomac Lighting Company As.

The Potomac Electric Power Company
and the United States Electric Lighting
Company are now practically one concern
under one management. Changes in the
officers of the latter company were made
yesterday to accomplish this and the Of
fees of the company were moved from
their former location, Fourteenth Street
and Ohio Avenue northwest to the Office
of the Potomac Company. and of the prop
critics of the syndicate in general at 1417
G Street northwest. At a meeting of the
directors Of the United States Company
called for the purpose, the designations
OF Messrs. Mearns, Decide, and Hieston,
as vice presidents and members of the
executive committee of the company were
accepted, and Messrs. Stevens, Leb, and
Myrick, OF the syndicate, were chosen to
fill their places. Mr.. Crosby, of the syn
dicate. is president OF both companies, and
Mr.. Lackey Secretary. l.. E. Sinclair
who has been Superintendent OF the Poto-
mac Company. was made General Super
intendent of the electrical works of both,
and Edward NARROW, formerly Treasurer
and Cashier of the United States Company,
was retained in that capacity for both
companies considerable saving has
thus been effected in the consolidation of
offices.
Secretary Lackey said yesterday with
regard to the future arrangement of the
concerns that they will work together in
every way, each supplementing the other
as the question of territory and conduits
seems to make advisable. Both plants
will be used as heretofore, at least for
some time to come.
There have been no developments in the
gas situation and this fact has led to some
uneasiness regarding the outcome, though
not much serious doubt is expressed that
the transfer of a controlling interest in
the company will be made. 1t may be
stated on excellent authority that no por-
tion Of the purchase money has been de-
posted, except the first small amount for
expenses. The first payment for the gas
stock is due on May 10, and one statement
has been published to the effect that it
has already been made, but this is untrue.
