1T is evident that not all the sem
timent against expansion has its
source in motives of lofty regard
for the rights of the Inhabitants of
the countries whose annexation is
contemplated. Carnegie thinks he
sees the downfall of protectionism
in it, and perhaps the legislature of
Pennsylvania is actuated by similar
motives in urging Congress to ad-
here to the principle of the Declare
,ion of Independence that govern
ments gain their just powers from
the consent Of the governed.

THE Senate has set Feb. 9th for
a vote on the peace treaty between
Spain and the United States. 1t
seems foregone conclusion that
the Senate will ra:ify it. Expansion
proper will go over 10 the new
Congress, when maybe the sober
second thought of the statesmen
and the people will not urge the
hasty entrance upon a policy oil
colonization that is so contrary to
the traditions of the nation.

THE IRON TRADE
Now Completely Dominated By Big
Corporations About the Future Of
The Carnegie Company

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 significance is paramount. They
show that control by a few large cor
porations is not only the destiny OF
the iron trade of the country, but is
practically its condition to-day; and
that movements just ahead will mean
further dominance by large corpora
tio1s.
Greater certainty of popular prices
year in and year out and of harmon
ious action by the few large interests
is to result. from the deals now under
way. The only apparent element OF
uncertainty is that growing out OF the
si5,O00,C00 steel works project at Buff
falo. While on the face of it this may
promise conflict, its final form may
give ample guaranty of peace. Mean
time, the trade is more bewildered than
at any stage of the consolidation cam
paign, approaching fully the fact that
a single days developments may be
of far-reaching significance.
The Oliver Iron Mining Company
turns out to be the purchaser CT the
Lake Superior Iron Company prop
erty, the leading steel producer of the
country, becoming also the company's
largest single producer Of ore. The
Oliver, one-sixth Of the Carnegie
Oliver ore, goes to the National Steel
Company on a twenty-year contract,
and the latter company acquires the
Rosena furnace at New Castle and the
Oliver coke and coal properties.
1t is understood that an important
announcement concerning the Nation
al Steel Company will be made in the
near future.
Another company whose future has
been under discussion in the week IS
the Carnegie Steel Company, limited.
If has been understood for some time
that the company, whose partnership
period expires in 1901, has been plan
ming to incorporate as a stock COM
pany. The capitalization now is $25,-
OGo. 600. Under the proposed arrange
ment. a capital of $200,000,0o0 might
he authorized. A new corporation act
recently passed at Harrisburg ana
known as the Mccain law, provides
for the formation of corporations ana
for removing the limit of capitaliza-
ton, which has been s3o,ooo,ooo. 1t is
believed the plans for the Carnegie

B. P. 0. ELKS NOTES.

The local lodge of Elks initiated ten
new members, last evening, with the
usual ceremonies, and have another
class Of twelve on hand for the next
meeting, two weeks hence. The lodge
is increasing at an unprecedented rate,
and is rapidly coming to the front in
secret society circles.
Secretary Thos. OBrien, of the
Wheeling lodge, yesterday received a
letter from the headquarters of the or
der, highly complimenting Wheeling
lodge upon its rapid growth in member
ship. Fourteen have been dropped for
various reasons, and 116 members initi-
ated, leaving a net gain of 102 within
six months.
The soliciting committees have been
industriously at work in their canvass
of the business districts, and have met
with very gratifying success in their
efforts to dispose OF space for the COM
ing Oriental street fair. There is still
some desirable space left, and mer-
chants who intend making exhibits,
should avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity before it is too late.

to complete their bill this week for the
consideration OF the next Congress, al
