Mr.. TAYLOR LEAVES TODAY
Looked Over the CyclOrama Building
Site Yesterday.

James K. Taylor. government supervising
architect. who has been here two days.
looking over the postoffice site field. will
leave the city for Chicago, this morning,
at las o'clock. A raft" of Information has
been taken to him. and he seems to have alb
sorbed IL all, for he has not had time to
talk much himself. Promoters Of various
sites have been at him from morning till
night. Yesterday he looked over the half
block containing the Cyclorama building,
and the features which make it the best
were pointed out by persons who have prop
erty adjacent. and think they would be
benefited by having the postoffice there.
Mr.. Taylor will make a report TO Secretary
OF the Treasury Gage, but will make no
recommendation unless Mr.. Gage asks it.
Louis II. Gibson was one of those who
talked to Mr.. Taylor in favor Of retain
ing the present site. Said he afterwards:
II can see reasons of sentiment and rea-
sons OF Self-intereSt why the pOStoffice
should be moved out of the business CEN
ter. / can see no business reason, no rea-
son relating TO the business welfare of the
city OF indianapolis why II should be moved.
No bank IN this city is thinking of moving
10 the corner of Pennsylvania and New
York streets No great dry-goods store
cares 10 move north of Ohio street. Mr..
Taylor. the government architect, has been
here for some days. and has seen a beau
tiful city, one prosperous and progressive,
one which in the future will do a great deal
Of building. If, for some reason. ne would
care TO resign his position as government
architect. which people who know him hope
he will not, would he establish his Office
north of Ohio street? Should a great gov
eminent office be used as a tool TO disturb
business values? Should a great govern
ment Office be used TO boom or unload real
estate? Is it a part of the business Of the
United States to establish and maintain
parks? i think not. A great deal of prop
erty in the center Of the city would be at
fected by the removal of the postoffice from
its present location. If there are good
business reasons for its removal that should
make no difference. If business reasons
alone were considered the postoffice would
go south rather than north. Moving il
north would carry it from the postal CEN
ter. Who will deny this? While personal
and organized interests may have another
location in mind. who is il so interested
who does not have the retaining of the
present location at heart as distinct from
his personal and selfish interests? There is
no physical. business or sentimental objec-
ton well grounded which is antagonistic 10
the present site"

IRON TRADE CONDITIONS
A GREAT INDUSTRY VOW DOMINATED
BY A FEW CORPORATIONS.
The Carnegie and other Huge Con-
Gus Daily on the Upper Trust.

CLEVELAND, o., April 26.-The Iron
Trade Review, in its issue tomorrow. will
say: Big movements in the iron trade have
been in the air the past week. Their signifi-
canoe is paramount. They show that con-
troll by a few large corporations is not only
the destiny OF the iron trade OF the coun-
try, but is practically its condition to-day.
And that movements just ahead will mean
further dominance by large corporations.
Greater certainty of profitable prices year
in and year out and of harmonious action
by the few large interests is to result from
the deals now under way. The only APP
parent element of uncertainty is that grow
ing out of the Sl5, 0O0,0D steel works project
at Buffalo. While on the face OF IL this
may promise conflict, its final form may
give ample guaranty Of peace. Meantime
the trade is even more bewildered than at
any stage Of the consolidation campaign,
approaching fully the fact that a single
days developments may be of far-reaching
significance. The Oliver Iron Mining Com
pany turns out TO be the purchaser of the
Lake Superior Iron Company property, the
leading steel producer Of the country be-
coming also the country's largest single pro-
Queer of iron ore. The Oliver one-sixth OF
the Carnegie-Oliver ore goes to the Nation
al Steel Company on a twenty-year con-
tract and the latter company acquires the
Rosena furnace at New Castle, Pa, and
the Oliver coke and coal properties.
1T is understood that an important an
nouncement concerning the National Steel
Company will be made in the near future.
Another company whose future has been
under discussion in the week is the Car
negie Steel Company, Limited. 1t has been
understood for some time that the COM
pany. whose partnership period expires in
1901, has been planning to incorporate as
a stock company. The capitalization now is
I,Oo0,OJ. Under the proposed ~ngeuent
a capital of 500, 000,00 might he authorized.
A new corporation act recently passed at
Harrisburg and known as the Mccain law,
provides for the formation of corporations
and for removing the limit of capitaliZa-
ton, which has been $3o,O00,O 900. 1t is believed
the plans for the Carnegie Steel Company
will soon be c-onsummated and that the
personnel of the new interests that will
come into the corporation on the broader
basis will be such as to indicate that the
big producers of iron and steel mean 10 pre-.
serve profitable prices and avoid conflict.

The Bicycle Combination.

CLEVELAND, o., April 26.-There is a
strong probability that within a few days
nearly one hundred of the largest bicycle
manufacturing plants in the United States
will be under the control and ownership Of
one gigantic company, capitalized at $4,000
900. The capitalists behind the scheme have
exact data upon the situation and this week
will see the footing up Of the sum totals
of the various phases of the proposition and
definite action will come at a meeting or
the manufacturers early next week. A. G.
Spalding, OF Chicago, is the chief figure in
the enterprise. The trust will build three
grades of Wheels said II. A. LOzier to-
day. " a high-priced wheel. a medium and
a cheap grade. There is little probability OF
the deal falling through"

BEER AT lRVINGTON.
s. c. Reynolds Complains to the Town
Board-Improvements Accepted.

S. c. Reynolds sent a communication to
the I%rvington Tow Board yesterday claim
ing that a certain Indianapolis brewery had
been sending beer out 10 some OF the young
men of the suburb. The board has asked
the street-railway company to refuse 10 con-
vey beer TO Irvington, and an effort will
be made to keep the brewery wagons from
entering the town.
The Town Board at a meeting last night
passed upon the i'm
provement. TIL work OF placing a brick
pavement on the street. which was started
last February. has just been completed at
a total cost OF $50, 500. The board accepted
the Improvement and ordered the assess
ments placed on the tax duplicate, TO be

Steel BilIetS Higher.

PITTSBURG, April 26.-Prices in the
Pittsburg steel market reached high-water
mark this week. Since Monday steel billets
have been selling at $3.50 per ton, and that
in thousand-ton lots for delivery in three
and four months. Jones q Laughlin sold
one such lot at that price for Eastern de-
livery. This is considered by steel manu-
facturerS as an indication that there is lit
tie danger of a backward turn in prices fo-
the present. In other branches of the iron
industry the same strong tone continues 10
prevail. Structural material is in such de-
mand that builders all over the country
have put off projected buildings, as they
cannot contract to get the steel in time for
this years building.

There's always a cheer for TIE volunteer.
There's ever a welcoming host.
The wide land stretches a greeting nand.
Glad hail from the hill to the coast
Let us praise them and pledge him high,
But the fighting man who serves for pay
The public passes by.
who rushed the lines on the San Juan hill?
Who at Caney fought alone?
The enlisted, regular fighting man
The soldier-bred to the bone.
Who bore the big brunt Of the battle front!
Should we speak it below a breath?
The enlisted regular fighting man.
Who cheered as he charged TO DEATH
Who he was. the public seldom knows:
Who is he, II does not care
Just Private Blank. of the -ty-third.
Recruited from-God knows where,
Just "a man"-built upon a soldierly plan
For a place that he's shaped TO mt:
Just a name put down on a muster roll.
Yes. numbered and stenciled from shirt to soul
And he doesn't object a bit!
No: he takes It all as it may come,
And it's more Of work than play.
From the goose-step into the awkward squad.
Then into a trench some day.
He answers SIR TO his officer,
He watches his Sergeant well.
And If things they happen TO rub him wrong,
He cannot run home and tell.
For 1.-THE army spells his name for homo
And 1.-The post proves his abode,
And he's taught his company manners there.
Up to Numbers. Ready! Load!
oh. he gets his fill Of the family drill,
And they train his hand and eye
Til he stamps or moves and questions not
Let his Captain know the why.
For the service adopts the enlisted man.
And he's treated like a child,
And he's cautioned how to mind his health
In tones not overmild-
Oh. he's bound to 60 and do just so.
But when things are at the worst.
He learns that the men with the shoulder strap
Are thinking of him first!
From the Colonel down to the officer lad
They share his fare and lot.
And they train his trigger finger right,
And his feet to falter not,
For wars trade for which tools are made
Out Of names on a muster roll;
And the soldiers a bound-to-obey machine
With a human heart and soul.
He asks for no praise as a patriot,
He lays claims TO no laurel wreath.
Tho he's proud OF his Nation and regiment
And the flag that he fights beneath.
He serves for pay" they were wont To say,
But before an advance began.
A trench or a height to be taken
Where's the regular fighting man?

about the copper combine, he gave it to be

no knowledge that the trust had been con-
summated. II heard Of this talk in New
York on Saturday" said he, land made
inquiries among some people whom ]
thought would know something about it if
the deal had been carried through, but none
of them knew anything more than 1 did.
1t may be that something was done in New
York yesterday, as the advance in stocks
seemed to indicate, but, If so, l have re-
Ceived no definite knowledge to that effect"
You think you would be apr to hear If
anything had been accomplished he was
asked.
well, yes, / rather think I would" he
replied with q smile. Before the scheme
can be said to have been some
business will have TO be done with me. 1t
but the talk of a capitalization of s50o,0O,-

gerated figure. 1t would simply be impoS-

remark:

old colored man whom my
father owned. AS l came up,
one evening, near the fence I
heard a strange noise. [

God to wash his soul in the

towards the close of his pray

A Soldier Roy Dead.


1t is with a sad heart, I at
tempt TO write a few lines in
memory Of my comrade and
terminate, Thos. s. Triyett,
OF Virgil, Watauga county,
N. g., who departed this life
at Camp Columbia, Havana,
Cnba, Feb. Goth 1899. He
enlisted at the call OF his
country, in Co. F. End. s. Z.
V. l.. and proved himself to
be n faithful and obedient
soldier. He was ever at his
post ready and willing to do
his duty until the dread dis.
ease, typhoid fever, took hold
ot his system and he was
taken to the Hospital, but
all the skill of the physicians
proved futile, and death
claimed him as his victim.
His death was more sad to
us because We could not be
present when he was laid to
rest beneath the soil ofCuba,
hy the side of twcnty.nine OF
his comrades, of the 7th Ar
my Corps, who had preceded
him to the land of the un-
known. Our Regiment was
on "A march through the
country, south of our camp,
and when we returned We
were indeed panied to learn
the sad fact that dear Tom.
had been buried for several
days. "Trivett," as We all
called him, was a kind and
generous, hearted boj and
was a favorite among all tho
boys of Co. F. There isa va.
cant cot IN his tent, a vacant
seat at our Co. table and
when the roll is called there
is a vacant place in our
ranks. But we trust when
1.-The roll is called upyonder"
we will again meet our dear
cOmrade and friend who was
buried with Military honor
on the Island of Cuba, and
who died honorably in the
service OF his country.
He leaves a wife and little
child to whom we extend our
tender sympathy.
