A GREAT TRUST.
Consolidation Effected of Wrought
steel, Iron and Tube Plants,
with Capital of SSO,OOO,OOO

New York, July Decentralization of
the wrought steel, iron and tube indus
tries of the country was effected
Wednesday by William Nelson Crom-
well, and c. Converse, the consolidation
purchasers. The new company will be
known as the National Tube company.
Ii is the largest of the kind in the
world and is the third in rank as a steel
and iron corporation. 1t is exceeded only
by the krupp and Carnegie interests.
Besides controlling the domestic bust
ness, the new combine will invade the
Russian, Bulgarian, Japanese and Ca
madam markets, where it already sup
plies tubular goods for the oil wells of
those countries. 1t will sell merchant
pipes to all the other nations of the
world. Twenty-Five thousand men are
employed.
William Nelson Cromwell, general
counsel for the combine, said that the
let earnings of the current year will be
between S6,0O0,0O0 and $7,000.000, while
the annual saving in general expenses
will be from s., 900, 600 to So, 100000. The
capitalization is $S0,000,O00. Edmund
{. Converse is president. The official
and financial headquarters will be in
New York; the manufacturing head
quarters in Pittsburgh.

New York. July 12.-Albert orosoy'

THREE CENT FARES.
Plan to Gain Adhercpts to Pingrec's
scheme of Municipal Ownership
of DctrOit's street Cars.

Detroit, Mich, July 15.-"Three-cent
fares" are announced on the fronts of
Detroit street cars in the places where
amusement advertising signs are usu-
ally carried. This sudden voluntary
reduction is the result of a decision of
Gov. Pingree and Tom l.. johnson to
give the people an object lesson upon
what they may look forward TO, if pres
ent plans for the sale of all the Detroit
street railways to the Detroit Munic-
ipal Railway company" in behalf of the
city win out. The three-cent tickets
sold Friday at five for IS cents are so
worded that their use in full payment
of fare can be withdrawn at any time.
The city is in furore over the pres
ent situation. All newspapers and
nearly all the more prominent citizens
are opposing the Pingree plan, and 1t is
now claimed that the majority of cit
liens oppose it, on the ground that
three-cent fares and quasi municipal
ownership will fail to pay the expenses
and the $17,000,O0O proposed to be paid
for the roads; and that they will, if
purchased, revert to the present own

A WARM WELCOME.
Reception Given the Oregon voiua-
tcers from Manila While on
Parade In san Francisce.


San Francisco. July Is. = Not since
the departure of the regiment of Cal
ifornia volunteers for the Philippines
have the streets of San Francisco pre-
scented such a scene of animation as
they did Friday, nor have steam
whistles, cannon and bells created
such a rumpus. The cause of the
demonstration was the landing of the
Oregon volunteers and the California
signal corps, preparatory to going into
camp at the Preside and the final mus
tering out.
All along the line of march the men
were cheered to the echo and bands
hired by individuals played lively music.
As the soldiers passed the Palace hotel
they were deluged with flowers thrown
from the windows by the guests. At the
junction of Third. Market and kearney
streets the crowds were immense and
the three morning papers which have
Offices on the corners of these streets
We'd with each other to see which could
make the most noise. A curious sight
was the long streamers of immense fire.
crackers which dangled from the roof
of high building. AS the soldiers
neared this point the crackers were
lighted and the racket they made was
awful. hs
Gen. Shafter and his staff and Gov.
Geer, of Oregon, and his staff and many
notable army officers reviewed the pa
rade as IL passed up Van Ness avenue
toward the Preside. As the men
passed the reviewing stand they
cheered continually.
When the Preside was reached the
men were given rest and then COM
menced the work of going into camp.
Here they will rest under military dis
cipline for two or three weeks. Then
the final muster out will take place and
they will be sent to their northern
homes by train.

the best of all years except the last or
when failures continue the smallest ever
known, or when the exports of staples be-
gin to improve materially, or when rail-
road business is by far the best ever
known, or when New York bankers appear
in international operations, listening to a
Russian inquiry and undertaking Mex
lean loan. Even the industrial disputes In
cident to the season cause less trouble
than usual the la rgest of them having been
settled Thursday by the tin plate COM
