fatally wounding the officer. The re-
naming policemen Immediately rejreated

HOW LOWENSTEIN DIED.
lie Had Been Warned of His Danger-Had
Passes Through Insurgent Lines.

SAN FRANCISCO, May SC. S. Brad
ford, of this city, has just returned from
the PHILIPPINES, and gives an interesting
account of the death of Prince Ludwig
Won Lowenstein, who was killed during
the battle Of Caloocan, on Sunday, March
&C.
A party of civilians, among whom were
Mr.. Bradford and the Prince, were observ-
ing the progress of the battle from a stone
bridge over the Maabon river when an or
derby appeared, warning the sightseers of
the danger of their position. The orderly
then addressed himself to the Prince
personally, saying:
L am speaking to you particularly You
have already given us some trouble bv
hanging around the firing line, and we will
have no more of it."
The Prince and a companion disappeared
int o. clunp of tin, Der. This timber.
later became the scene of some active
work, and the Oregon soldiers were or
cered to fire Volleys into it and to per
forate several houses. In one of these
Prince Lowenstein had secreted himself.
buffet fired by an Oregonian entered the
right side of the Prince, severing the in
testines, killing him instantly. Mr.. Brad
ford, with two others, took charge of him
search of the body revealed, among
other things, passport signed by Agui-
naldo, granting the Prince permission to
enter the lines of the rebels at will and
lnstructing the insurgent officers to give
him any aid and comfort he might de-
sire. The Prince was at one time inter
prefer for Gen Miller, but was found nm
trustworthy.

THE EN- PRE-
Will be the Name of a New Iron,
Steel, Railroad and Coal Combine
to Operate in the South.

Special to the Register
New York, May 8.-The Empire
Steel & Iron Company, which was in
corporated in New Jersey last week,
with a capital stock of 100000, will
control and operate iron, steel, coal
and coke industries in Virginia, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and
southern Pennsylvania. Moore &
Schley, of New York, with their allied
interests, formed the syndicate. The
result of their efforts during the past
year has been the complete control of
the vast iron ore, coal and coke regions
in the South. The Virginia Iron, Coal
& Coke Company, which now controls
all the iron interests of southwest Vir-
ginia, had just completed the purchase
OF the iron and steel properties of the
Watts Steel & Iron Syndicate, of Lon
don, England. These properties, locat-
ed in Kentucky and Tennessee, consti-
tute one Of the largest and best equip
ped iron plants in the South and the
only steel works in the Southern
States. The Virginia company is now
part of the Empire company. A few
months ago an American company pre-
pared plan for the consolidation of all
the West~Virginia properties, including
immense tracts of coal and iron ore
sands. Several small railroads were
also included in the purpose The deal
was effected, and the various proper
ties passed into the hands of Moore &
Schley. 1t appears, therefore, that the
iron and steel properties of the coun-
try will be controlled by three compa-
nles-the Carnegie-Moore company.
now practically formed; the Federal
Steel Company and the Southern Iron
Syndicate.

I
was right in granting us this franchise
Cur company consists exclusively az
Wheeling men. including enterprising
wheeling merchants, iron manufacture
eTs and Workingmen who have by in
dustry and economy acquired and
saved money. They intend to do Moth
ing irregular, have done nothing ir-
regular, and there is no Justification
whateye' for the attack tfat has been
made on them. They simply propose
TO put in their money and engage in
a business enterprise fer the purpose of
furnishing electric light, as others have
been doing in this city. All they have
gotten from the city is an ordinances
granting them the right to place their
poles and wires in the streets and AL
leys under the same restrictions thar
apply II like cases to other csmpanies
and in consideration of this right this
company is bound TO furnish the Citv
Building and all of the hose houses
with free electric light, which Will he
worth to the city not less than two
thousand dollars year. If it does
business thirty years it will pay 100000
for the franchise. The Western Union
Telegraph Company the Bell Tele-
phone Company. the Manufacturers
Natural Gas Company. the Natural Gas
Company of West Virginia, and the
Wheeling Railway Company. all for
eign corporations, have like privileges
and none OF them pay to the city any
compensation whatever for their use
OF the streets and alleys, except that
the Natural Gas Company of West Vir-
ginia furnishes free gas TO the crema-
tory. 1t seems 10 us tat the only rea-
son an attack is made on the Council
for giving us the same privilege. even
though we give q ~ compensation for
1t, is that our company is composed ex-
clusiy8ly Of citizens of Wheeling. and
all the other companies holding fran
ehises are composed almost exclusively
OF foreigners, and that the envious mo-
tive for the attack made on the Con-
sumers Electrical Company extends
only TO local people and not TO OUT
siders
The Consumers Electrical Company
will, notwithstanding the attack that
has been made. promptly go into bust
ness, and if the city Of Wheeling ever
decides 10 go into the business of fur
nishing electric lights and gets the
legislative authority and money neces-
sary to do so, it may have this COM
pany's plant at actual cost, to be de-
termined by arbitration. The Consam-
ers Electrical Company stands ready to
enter into an agreement TO that effect
with the city at any time We are
asking no privileges except such al
have been from time to time given to
nonresident companies that come here
and ask for them, and we stand ready
to hand these privileges back to the
city whenever ii may get ready to go
into the electric light business.
I'VE have asked You to publish this
statement for us because we think il
unfair to those who are engaged in this
enterprise, as we'll as 10 members
of the City Council, to let the false as
sertions that have been made go UNI
challenged
