PRESIDENT GATES
 CONFIRMS RUMORS Of An Immense Combination of
 Steel Interests. WILL HAVE CAPITALIZATION Of Between $7oo, 100000 and $soo,- ooo,o0o-The Proposed Combi-
 nation is Yet Incomplete
 in Point of Detail
WILL HAVE CAPITALIZATION

New York, May 2-The Times says: "Tne rumors of an immense combination of steel interests are practically confirmed by John W. Gates. president of the American Steel and Wire company, who returned from an European trip on Saturday.
 ''The combination, until the present plans of the promoters are changed will prac- tically take in all the big concerns of the country, and will have capitalization Of between $7OO 100000 and $S,0OO,OOO,c0o.
 ''The proposed combination is yet far from complete in point of detail, but the presence in this city of our representatives of the greatest steel interests of the United State, MT. Gates said, that in all prob ability the next few days will see 1t whip ped into tangible shape.
 As l have just returned from abroad said Mr Gates, I cannot go into details in this matter, but 1t is pretty safe to say that the combine will go through and that Its capital will be nearly $500 600 600. About all the big companies may come in, the principles of ones of which will be the Car negie company, the National Steel com pany, the American Steel and Wire com- pany and probably the bar steel interests now represented by the Republic Steel company.
 "Mr. Gates was asked if the Federal Steel company would be included.
 I am not prepared to say as to that, was the reply. I am going to have a talk with MT. Gary tomorrow and with MT Prick and others who are in the city. I see that Colonel French, of the Sylvian Steel company of Illinois, is here, and also Myron Wick, of Youngstown, and P. L. Kimball, of sharon, Pa. As matter of fact the town is full of iron and steel men, and it is very likely that you will hear of something important being done within the next few days
 "As evidence of the rise in prices con- sequeTt upon the rush of business, MT. Gates told of an order placed here by the Russian government last October for 90,- 900 tons of steel rails. It was agreed that the price should be s16 to $16.50, put the Russian government tackled certain specif- cations, one of which was that the steel should not contain more than one-tenth cent. of arsenic. The company rejected the proposals, and after vainly trying in the markets of Europe for an advanced price, the order was again offered to the Ameri- can concern with the objectionable clause eliminated, but was refused at an advance of $11
 '' Now. the Russian government says Mir. Gates, is between the devil and the iron works. It wants the rails for the trans-Siberian road and cannot get them in Europe or America without waiting for months.
