LARGEST YET.
Steel Combine Which Will
Include Eight Hundred
Millions.

Ngw YORK, May 1.-The rumors of al
immense combination of steel interests
are practically confirmed by John w
Gates, president OF the American Stec
and Wire Company, who returned from a
European trip on Saturday. The COM
binatiOn, until present plans of the pro-
motors are changed, will practically in
clude all the big concerns Of the country
and will have q capitalization of between
500, 600 900 and $1,000 600 600. The pro-
posed combination is vet far from COM
plete in point of detail. Mr.. Gates said,
that in all probability the next few days
will see it whipped into tangible shape.
"As | have Just returned from abroad
Mr.. Gates explained, 81 cannot 90 into
details in this matter, but it is pretty safe
to say that the combination will go
through and that its capital will be nearly
$500 600 900. About all the big companies
may come in, the principal ones of which
will be the Carnegie company, the National
Steel company, the American Steel and
Wire company and probably the bar steel
interests as now represented by the Re-
public Steel company"
MIR. Gates was asked if the Federal
Steel company would be included.
81 am not prepared TO saY as to that"
was the reply. 81 am going to have a talk
with Mr.. Gary tomorrow and with Mr..
Frick and others who are in the city.
see that Col. French, of the Sylvan Steel
company, Of Illinois, is here and also
Myron Wick, Of Youngstown, and p. T..
kimball, of Sharon, Pa. AS a matter of
fact the own is full of iron and steel men
and it is very likely that you will hear of
something important being done within
the next few days"
AS an evidence of the rise in prices con-
sequent upon the rush of business, Mr..
Gates told of an order placed here by the
Russian government last October for 90
600 tons of steel rails. 1t was agreed that
the price should be SIC or $3.50 but the
Russian government tackled on certain
specifications, one of which was that the
steel should not contain more than one
tenth OF one per cent. of arsenic. The
company rejected the proposals and after
vainly trying in the markets of Europe for
an advanced price, the order was again
offered to the American concern with the
Objectionable clause eliminated, but was
refused at an advance Of sll.
"Now the Russian government" said
Mr.. Gates, ais between the devil and the
iron works. 1t wants the rails for the
Trans-Siberian road and cannot get them
in Europe or America without waiting
several months"

JUGGLING FIGURES OF 1899.
Results of the Work of an
Arithmetlcal Genius with
the Years CipherS.

If we add together the figures contained
in 1899. we find they make u, and these
added give us o. Subtract the first two
figures, IS, from ~, and we have 81,
which added make q, and the letters COM
prising the words eighty-one are nine.
Add the first two figures, ~. to 80, and we
have III; these figures, when added, again
! give us Q. II we add all the principles
numbers thus far mentioned, viz, 1899, ~,
81, III snd u the sum is Pip, and these
figures added give US Q. If we subtract
81 from III, we have 90, which divided by
10 again gives us Q. BY substracting III
from 1899 the remainder is I,1S2, these
figures, when added, give Us ~, aud these
two, when added, give us o.. il we add 30
and 1882, principal numbers, not includ-
ed in first addition, TO l,l42, obtained
above, we have 4,0li, and these figures,
when added again produce Q. Now if we
add the figures, 1896 to the last sum, we
nav Y D,JlO, anu iHNoC bhhNu HiNNHSN 'Of
which again being added the result is ..
The combinations obtained above are
very remarkable. but carrying them still
further, with results, we find that by add
ing 1899 to the sums thus far obtained,
viz, 4,0l4 and 5,9l3, the sum is II ,956,
and by adding these figures We have Is,
which added produce Q. Further, if we
add the first figure of the above sun to
the last two, viz, II8 to %. we have IA,
and these figures added give us ..
We have now tried the results of addi-
lion and Of satisfaction in these mystic
figures, and will now see what multiplica-
tion will do. If we multiply IS by %, the
product is l,iS2; these figures when added
give US Is, and carefully add the numerals
used in this multiplication we find the
addition to he G3, and by adding the
we have 9. Now we will multiply
the first three figures of the year by the
last, viz, lS9 by Q, we find l,iOl, an by
adding these figures We have ., or if we
add the numerals used ia this calculation,
we find they amount to &c, and these added
again produce .. We will multiply the
two products obtained above, viz, 1852 by
I,10l, and we have 3,03l ,Is2; these figures
added produce Is and give us9.
lnnumerable changes could be rung on
these mystic figures, but the most remark
able part is that the letters comprising
words eighteen niuety-nine are Is,
and these two, when added, produce the
inevitable 9.-Dctr0t Free Press.
