Of the territorial tax nearly half Is

Mr.. HAvens asks. Would there be
any occasion for increasing these sal

there would be.
There is, therefore, no reason what
ever for supposing that governmental
expenses would be doubled or even In
eeeased 20 dny extent whatever Aud
the only basis for the assertion that
taxation would be increased IN any
degree ia that the territory would lose

the legislative expenses. That appro.
priAtion averages n trifie over $4,000

rate. Assuming the present rate

TOGETHER FOR ARBITRATION
United states and English Delegates Will
Jrge 1t at Cars Conference.
Our Other Points.

WASHINGTON, May l0.-The United
States and Great Britain will stand
together i'll the advocacy of the adop-
ton of Il scheme for the settlement of
international disputes by arbitration
which Will be presented TO the disarma-
ment conference at its meeting at The
Hague. The American delegates,
headed by Ambassador White, are
equipped with Il fairly well digested
plan for the execution of this long
cherished project, while the British
delegates are prepared with "a plan
which is almost identical with the
American project.
: The exemption from seizure of in
dividual property and the extension of
the Red Cross rules to warlike opera
tions at sea, are other points the Ameri-
can delegates have been instructed upon.
Another point i'll the instructions is
that relating TO the amelioration of the
horrors of war. and with this, too. the
Americans delegates are deeply con-
cerued. 1t was because of the presi-
dents interest in this subject, as much
as for any other reason, that the two
technical experts, Captain Mahan and
Captain CroZier. were Included In the
American delegation. and the state de
partment hopes that something i'll this
direction will be accomplished at the
approaching conference.

CHICAGO. MAY 10.-Representatives of
two of the big corporations which ru-
NOR has associated with the proposed
SS00. 900. 900 combination of IRON and
steel industries declared material prog
reSS had been made The plan. already
exploited 10 Il considerable degree, was
to absorb mines. mills. railroads and
factories. Tn" Two representatives i'll
question said the following corporations,
giving the capital stock of each, We're 10
be included: The Carnegie companies,
$250.000. 900: Federal Steel company.
S100.0 200: American Steel and Wire

company. $4,000, 200: American Tin
plate company, S50,000,000: Republic
Steel company. S50.O00,000: American
Steel Hoop company. S33 100000.
The figures given for the Carnegie
companies We're less than the accepted
estimate of the amount invested. 1t
WAS said if the great trusts formed the
Carnegie concerns will represent no
less than 500. 100000 of its capital.
The Federal Steel company has an au-
thorized capital of 1900, 900, but
only one half of it will be taken, it is
said.
One thing it was proposed the trust
should do. the representatives stated,
was to take III the iron and steel plants
of importance which were independent
concerns None of these3 is large
when compared with the trusts. but
they are considerable industries. The
largest of them are: Jones & Laughlin
company. Pittsburg. capital $40 200, 900;
Cambria Steel company. capital $1,000
0O0: Scranton Steel company, capital
5000 900.
Several of the promoters assembled
at the office of John W. Gates, presi-
dent of the American Steel and Wire
company, during the day. They said
satisfactory results We're not far Off.
Several asserted the consolidation could
obtain business that none of the trusts
is able to control. 1t will undertake to
capture the business of European con-
Germs. they contended, and furnish rails
md steel plates for Europeangailways
and warships. No foreign company,
they assert. is big enough to be for
midable competitor.
