The Great Steel Combine.

Pittsburg, May %. H O. Frick,
chairman of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, arrived home from New York
yesterday. He has almost closed the
negotiations for the purchase Of Andrew
Oarnegie's business holdings. and an
nounces that the deal has reached a
point where it is known definitely that
the capital Of the reorganized company
will be $3.50 600, 600.
Representatives of New York banks
it is said, will arrive here today TO per-
sonally examine the books and plant.
They will come at Mr.. tricks request.
Mr.. Frick intends TO show them the
earning powers Of the concerns that are
to be merged Since he desires that
the consolidation be effected on solid
basis, free from mushroom policy, he
hopes that by this practical illustration
loans will be made promptly in New
York, so that spectators and those Of
the public who are looking for good
things will have little, if any. chance
to get at the stock.
Prior TO a meeting in New York last
Saturday no agreement had been reach
ed between the organizers as TO the
amount of capitalization. and the state
ment made yesterday by Mr. Frick that
$3.50, coo. 600 is the amount should allay
the apprehension that the security
market is to be deluged with paper
value stock, as the stock will be held
entirely by insiders. Mr.. Frick said ::
1.-THE proposed new Carnegie Steel
Company will be distinctly a home
concern, embracing only the Carnegie,
the Frick, and their allied interests
and operating under a Pennsylvania
charter The $3.50, 600, 600 capital is
fixed upon an investment basis. so that
the present management will take
their holdings in the stock Of the new
company.
By the completion Of the deal, say
those interested. Pittsburg will furnish
the country with a striking example Of
corporate reorganization in contrast
with trust methods Of inflated capitali-
cation, stock jobbing and ephemeral
profits.
The new company will not be trust
in any sense It will not have any
common and preferred stock or first and
second mortgage bonds, but only one
class of stock. which will probably be
taken entirely by the stockholders of
the present companies

New York. May % The Journal
prints the following:
"It can be positively announced
that Mr.. and Mrs Bradley Martin
have turned their backs upon their old
friends and have left these shores for
ever. There have been all sorts Of
rumors as TO the real intentions Of the
Bradley Martins, but these were oil set
to rest the day before they sailed for
Europe. when they appeared at the tax
office in this city and swore of both
their personal taxes and their allegiance

- President Feitner Of the tax board .,
received the Bradley Martins, who
were accompanied by Mrs. Sherman.
Mrs. Bradley Martins mother, in the
same Office where William Waldorf
Aston made an affidavit that he was
foreigner. Mrs. Martin spoke freely of
the reasons which had led the family
TO leave the land where the millions
she had inherited from her father were
made by selling barrel slaves. She
made clear her belief that the social set
in which she had spent a part Of her
married life suffered greatly when COM
pared with the highest social circle in
England, in which she expected to live
and move.
President Feitner finally said that
Mrs. Martin. her brother and husband

their intention TO leave America and

Though they did not like to be COM
PEELED to swear to anything, and said
that their word had always been taken

Feitner read from the statute and con-
WINGED them that il they wanted TO
escape paying personal taxes here they
would have to take a big oath and sign
paper stamped with big seal.
After the official ceremony was
over and there was no chance for the
Bradley Martins escaping from the
solemn compact which made them for
eigners, they shook President feitner
warmly by the hand and invited him
to drop in and see them when in Lon
don.
The personal property Of the Brad

been taxed for years at $1,000, 600, and

kAVIES OF THE WORLD.
The Great Powers Increasing the Number
Of Their Warghipg


Washington. May 23.-The bureau
Of naval intelligence has published a
translation Of carefully prepared
paper by Constructor Sussenguth, OF
the German navy. The writer calls
attention to the fact that the demands
made on Germany for naval increase
in the next three years are not nearly
so great ~ has been popularity sup.
posed, falling beneath that of either the
United States, England, Russia, Japan
or Italy. Relative to the cost Of battle
ships, it il shown that Germany il able
to produce them as cheaply per ton AZ
England, and much cheaper than
France or probably Russia.
1t Is stated that the nayies Of the
world are profiting by the lesson Of
Santiago, where the heavy battleships
brought about the destruction Of the
Spanish fleet, and are building battle
ships Of ~ 900 to 10, 600 tons displace-
ment. Another lesson that the Ger
man constructor draws from the Span
ish- American war is the worthlessDess
Of the unprotected ship in battle ia
pan is the only country which is now
building vessels Of this class.
One Of the most remarkable state
ments OF the writer is the frank con-
fession that England, on completion Of
the ships now under construction for
ITS navy, will be in position 10 meet
the combined navies Of any two pow
ers Of the world. IL is also stated that
England has under construction and to
BIZ completed in the next three years
vessels that alone will be more than
equal TO the total German navy as it
will stand at the end Of 1903.
A note by the naval intelligence
bureau says that this English fiotilla
now under construction will exceed the
American navy. built and building, by
over 100 600 tons displacement.
The most remarkable progress now
being made by any naval power is ia
pan, which will have a navy when its
present program Of construction is com
pleted that will outclass any tiotilla

Clash of Onion.

Manila, May 23 The Filipino com.
mission spent the day at the residence
OF the American commissioners They
discus. ed every point Of the scheme Of
government and the peace proclamation
details, asking for information as to
what personal rights would be guaran-
teed them. Col Charles DENLY Of the
American commission explained that
they would be the same az under the
United States COnsti utiOn.
The Fllipinos also desired informa
ton as TO the school system ~ be estab-
lished, and approved of the American
policy of the separation of church and
state. They chiefly objected to the
scheme on the ground that il gave them
personal liberty, which they knew
they would have, but did not give them
political liberty.
Finally, the Filipinos said they were
personally pleased with the plan, but
could not indorse IL officially.
During the day the Filipino com
missioners called upon Maj. Gen. Otis
and they Will repeat their call tomor'

They are arrayed in blue coats. scarlet
trousers and gold lace, and drive about

slowed on them, which is evidently
exceedingly gratifying to them.

ests OF the instruction Military senti-
ment disapproves of the Filipinos being
lionized by the civilian element.
The army believes that IL we intend
to remain in the Philippine Islands it
will be cheaper in the long run to whip
the insurgents so thoroughly that they
will be glad of the opportunity to sur.
render, rather than to parley with them
AMI make terms which they would
construe as compromise.
The army is also Of the opinion that
while the first course may cost more men
and money in the beginning than the
latter it will prove an effectual damper
upon future insurrection, whereas If
the war is ended by a compromise the
professional revolutionists among the
Tagals may be encouraged to try again
in few years.

Il believe force was necessary, be-
cause they thought US weaklings aud

to the results of the negotiations and
