JOHN W. GATES CONFIRMS IT

Says the Formation of the Big Com

Successful Issue-New York Fill

VINO Are Interested in the Deal
Companies That May Be Included.
NEW YORK, May 2.-The rumors of an
immense combination of steel interests
are practically confirmed by John w
Gates, president of the American Steel
and Wire company, who returned from a
European trip on Saturday. The COM
binatton. unless the present plans of the
promoters are changed, will Include prac-
tfcally all the big concerns Of the coun-
try. and will have a capitalization of be-
tween S7OO, 600 and $500, 900, 600. The pro
posed combination is yet far from COM

IN thls city OF the representatives of the
greatest steel interests Of the United
states, led by Mr.. Gates, to say that in
all probability the next few days will
see 1t whipped into tangible shape

Mr.. Gates explained IT cannot go into
details in this matter, but 1t is pretty
safe to say that the combination will go
through, and that its capital will be near
5iy $500, ,0000,000. About all the big COM
panies may come in, the principal ones
of which will be the Carnegie COMPANY

can Steel and Wire company, and prob
ably the bar steel interests, as now rep

Mr.. Gates was asked If the Federal
Steel company would be included.

was the reply. II am going to have a
talk with Mr. Gary tomorrow, and with
Mr.. F'rick and others who are in the

was that the steel should not contain

Making Public of Secret Documents
by Italian Foreign NIinfster

by Italian Foreign Minister.
ROME, May LIN the chamber of dep
uties today there was another prolonged
and animated discussion regarding the
governments foreign policy, growing out
of various interpretations. The debate was
again adjourned until tomorrow, when
the government will make a statement
covering all the questions raised. In the
course of the discussion Admiral Cane
varo, minister for foreign affairs, created
a lively sensation by producing, in re-
sponse to the attacks upon his policy at
San Mum bay, China, an official letter
signed by Count Bondin Longa, under
secretary of state for foreign affairs in
the cabinet of Marquis di Rudlni, address
ed to the then minister of marine, Signor
Brin, requesting the latter to initiate
some action that would secure for Italy
a station in China. The production of the
letter demonstrated that the leaders of
the present opposition really initiated the
policy they are now criticising.
Admiral Canevaro's action in making
public secret document evoked sharp
comment from Marquis di Rudini, Signor
Crispi, former premier, and other lead
ing members of the chamber. Finally
Gen. Pelleux, the premier, asked that the
discussion be adjourned and the house

the present peace negotiations, which, he
asserts, are being conducted by a group
Of half-castes and creoles, who are anx-
