COMBINATION OF
 MINERAL PROPERTY Sl SS Company May Cease to Exist aS
 Separate Organization. A NEW COMPANY PROBABLE Which Will Include SlOSS Properties, American Coal Company and OTHER INDEPENDENT CONCERNS The Stock and Bonds of the Big Com bination Will Probably Be Fig
 ured in the Neiphborhood
 of$1o,ooo,ooo.
A NEW COMPANY PROBABLE
OTHER INDEPENDENT CONCERNS

The Sloss Iron and Steel company will probably soon go out of existence as separate organization
 A new company is to be organized at once It is to include the Sloss company, the American Coal company, the Hattie Ensley furnace at Sheffield the Philadel- phia furnace at Florence, the Gulf Creek Coal and Coke company, and other coal and iron companies of Alabama.
 This proposed new company has been perfected within the past ten days by the consolidation of the various companies above. It is probable that this combina- ton will effect a consolidation with the Alabama Coal and Iron company, recently organized by the International Trust com pany and the John Skelton Williams syn dicate.
 This latter organization was effected by Baltimore and other parties within the last six weeks. The details of the organization were printed in The Age-Herald two weeks ago. The new company, composed of the Sloss, the American Coal and other prop critics mentioned above, has just been or ganized. The plans were perfected yester- day. The consummation of the organiza- ton will be effected, perhaps today.
 This new company will rank second in importance only to the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. It's stock will probably be listed on the New York stock exchange within the next sixty days. Just what the capital stock of the new company will be is not definitely known, but the stock and bonds will be something in the neighborhood of $1O,O000O0, perhaps more.
 Rumors of Another Consolidation
 There were rumors yesterday to the eff feet that eventually a consolidation be- tween this new mammoth organization and the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany would be brought about This, how ever is for the present merely speculative. Combinations and consultations of all kinds are going and it is impossible to predict whether all the coal and iron prop critics of Alabama will be in one company or two.
 General D. w. Rucker, president of the American Coal Co.,; Sol Haas, president of the Sloss company; J. W. Worthington, and number of other prominent men con- nected with Alabama coal and iron proper ties, are now in New York perfecting ar engagements for the combination above set forth. The full details will perhaps not be known for several days

GEN, WHEELER
 IN CHICAGO Announces He Is Going to Ma niIa On an Unknown
 Mission.

Chicago, July 12-Gen. Joe Wheeler pass ed through Chicago bound for the Philip pines on an unknown mission.
 This is the way he put it himself. Talk ing of his work, he said: "I am ordered merely to report to General Otis, and don't know what l shall have to do when get there. I expect to return by December, when congress meets. Being in the army, l felt that 1 had no right to remain idle all summer and fall and asked to be sent on a civil serviee.'
 The only intimation General Wheeler gave as to the purpose of his mission was thought of the situation in the Philippines. He said: q don't understand, and no one in Washington seems to understand why the people over there seem to have no idea of the forces to which they are opposed. General Otis makes no estimate, and you will have observed that neither General Lawton nor General Macarthur makes mention of those forces in their reports"
 Asked if he were sent by President Me- Knley to make an expert report on the situation, the general replied:
 I am merely to report to General Otis"
 Miss Annie Wheeler the generals daugh- ter, accompanies him to Manila. She goes out as d Red Cross nurse without pay and intends to remain so long as health per mits or her services are needed.

Nominating Committee Presents Names
 of New Officers

 President, A. P. Corson, ex-state super intendent of schools, Ohio; vice president, Dram Lyte, Pennsylvania: secretary, Irwin Sheppard of Wnona Minn. treasurer, .. G. Pease, superintendent of schools, Oma- ha. As there is no known opposition to the candidates, they will no doubt be elected unanimously.
 Today the National Educational associa- ton convention was settled down to steady hard work, there being eleven departments holdinag sessions in the afternoon, in ad- diton to sessions both morning and even- ing.
 Mrs. Helen Grenfeli superintendent of public instruction of Colorado, read paper in the general session bearing the sugges- tive title, "Quo Vandmus," which bore up- on relations existing and which ought to exist between the school and the home.
 Hon. L. Harvey, superintendent of public instruction of Wisconsin, in dealing with Fundamentals in Teaching struck re- spondent note in outlining how far the in- dividual freedom of the teacher is bounded by the organization of the school curricu- lum.
 In the several departments session almost the entire gamut of education was discussed from child study through the kindergarten and grammar grades, the polytechnic and art branches, to the ultimate points of business college curriculum on one hand and the university course on the other. In initial stage of what in it's entirety was a prolonged discussion of the existing meth od child study was taken up as the con- meeting link between the home and the school and at the other end of the contin- uous lire.
 President David Starr Jordan. of Stan ford university, and Dr. Nicholas M. But Ter of Columbia university, engaged in a discussion on the practicahility of na- tional university as a question of the great est interest and importance to educators as well as the cultured people throughout the country.
 In addition to these various phases of educational effort the highly specialized form of education adapted to the needs of the deaf, blind and feeble minded has been under discussion. The physical education has not been neglected. and a patriotic tinge has been given to the entire proceed ings by q discussion before the Herbart society of the significance of the frontier in American history.

We have got to nominate for president man who can unite the west and the east, and l am much afraid Bryan cannot do that and could not be elected; though I'd work as hard for him any other democrat would. Our business next year will be to win, and we owe it to our cause and to the country to name man upon whom the entire party can unite."
