BIG TRUST FORMING.
Declared Steel Combine Is
Nearer Completion.
CARNEGIEs' INTEREST TO BE BIG.
Proposed to Take In Independent Con-
Germs, Including the Jones a. Laughlln
and Cambria steel Companies-To Go

CHICAGO, May 10.-Representatives of
NOR has associated with the proposed
$500, 100000 combination of iron and
steel industries declared material prog.
ress had been made The plan. already
exploited to considerable degree, was
to absorb mines, mills. railroads and
factories. The two representatives in
question said the following corporations,
giving the capital stock of each, were to
be included: The Carnegie companies,
$3.50, 100000; Federal Steel company,
$l00, 0,000,0 600; American Steel and Wire
company, $90,000,000; National Steel
company, $59,000,000; American Tin
plate company, $50, 100000; Republic
Steel company, $50,000,00 American
Steel Hoop company, 1913 100000.
The figures given for the Carnegie
companies were less than the accepted
estimate of the amount invested. 1t
was said If the great trust is formed the
Carnegie concerns will represent no
less than $500, 100000 of its capital.
The Federal Steel company has an au-
thorized capital Of 5000, 100000, but
only one half of it will be taken, it is
said.
One thing it was proposed the trust
should do, the representatives stated,
was to take in the iron and steel plants
of Importance which were independent
concerns. None of theses is large
when compared with the trusts, but
they are considerable industries. The
largest of them are: Jones e. Laughlin
company, Pittsburg, capital SIC, 900, 900;
Cambria Steel company, capital So ,000,.
900; Scranton Steel company, capital
$5,000 900.
Several of the promoters assembled
at the office of John w. Gates, presi
dent of the American Steel and Wire
company, during the day. They said
satisfactory results were not far off
Several asserted the consolidation coulC
obtain business that none of the trusts
is able to control. 1t will undertake tc
capture the business of European con
Germs, they contended, and furnish rail,
and steel plates for European railway:
and warships. No foreign company
they assert, is big enough to be a for
midable competitor.

TOGETHER FOR ARBITRATION
United States and English Delegates win
Urge 1t at Cars Conference.
Our other Points,

WASHINGTON, May 1O-The United
States and Great Britain will stand
together in the advocacy of the adop-
ton of a scheme for the settlement of
international disputes by arbitration,
which will be presented to the disarma-
uent conference at its meeting at The
Hague. The American delegates,
headed by Ambassador White, are
equipped with a fairly well digested
plan for the execution of this long
cherished project, while the British
delegates are prepared with a plan
which is almost identical with the
American project.
The exemption from seizure Of in
dividual property and the extension Of
the Red Cross rules to warlike opera
tions at sea, are other points the Ameri-
can delegates have been instructed upon.
Another point in the instructions is
that relating to the amelioration of the
horrors of war, and with this, too, the
Americans delegates are deeply con-
cerned. 1t was because of the presi.
dents interest in this subject, as much
as for any other reason, that the two
technical experts, Captain Mahan and
Captain CrOzier, We're included i'll the
American delegation, and the state de-
partment hopes that something in this
direction will be accomplished at the
approaching conference.

Corbin, Adjutant General, Washington:
Reported interview Of mine in Den.

TO thank you for it. 1t does credit to
you and your state. In the meantime
we shall spare no efforts to effect the
speedy return of all the volunteers in

borne in mind that the distance and

MANILA, MAY 10.-A reconnoitering
party from Major General Lawton's
command, which consisted of two COM
panies of the Minnesota regiment and
two companies of the Oregon regiment,
under command of Major Diggles of
the Minnesota regiment, advanced Mon
day to point near San Miguel, which is
about IL miles mort h of Balinag. There
the Americans were met with voley
from force of rebels behind trench
Major Diggles was wounded in tho
head and private soldier was also
wounded. Major Diggles and the pri-
vate. together with ten typhoid patients,
were brought by special train to Manila
Tuesday.
The Don Jose, the last Of the missing
steamers under the American flag which
were detained by the insurgents since
the beginning of the war, was found by
the gunboat Manila at Batangas, and
arrived here today.
New YORK, May 10.-A dispatch to
The Journal from Manila said in part:
Only the entreaties of Aguinaldo last
Tuesday avrrted a civil war between
the forces of his two rival generals,
Luna and Mascardo. They were actu-
ally drawn up in battle array. This
anu IL DOSlllNt VI Illt uOWb
that Luna was dangerously wounded IN
the shoulder in the battle of St. Tomas
are the most important items of intelh-
gence brought Monday by the army
gunboats Laguna de Bay and Cava-
| donga, which returned Monday from a
brisk expedition up the San Fernando
river.
1t was Immediately before the battle
| of Est. Tomas that the insurgents so
nearly arrived at the point of beginning
| to eXterminate one another. General
| Luna, when he saw that an engage
ment with the American troops was in
| evitable, sent back an aide post haste to
Bacolor, where General Mascardo was,
| demanding reinforcements. Mascardo's
reply was that he would take orders
from no one bnt Aguinaldo. This def
ance so infuriated Luna that, in spite or
the impending conflict with the COM
| mon enemy, he took 1900 of his SOL
diers and made forced march to Ba-
color.
Mascardo was nothing 10th to fight it
out, and ordered his command into line
of battle. Shouts of defiance and hate
were heard on both sides. Aguinaldo,
terrified by the situation, ordered his
chief of staff, Colonel ArgueIles, to
make peace at all hazards.
There was an angry conference be-
tween him and the rival generals.
Aguinaldo was drawn into it. With
all the intensity at his command he
begged Luna and Mascardo not to
plunge the Filipino forces into civil
strife at u time when they were already
broken and demoralized by successive
defeats at the hands of the Americans.
His entreaties prevailed for the time
| being

BERTHA BEILsTEIN's DEFENSE.
Appeared as a Witness Insanity Over
Spiritualism the Plea.

Spiritualism the Plea.
PITTsBURG, May 1O.-Bertha Bell
stein. with precision and GOODNESS, re-
lated all the horrible details of her
crime, what preceded and prompted it
and what followed its commission in
her trial. Insanity and spirituaiSm
combined make up the defense, and
Bertha herself was the strongest factor
in support of this contention. Her de-
meanor indicated she did not realize
what she had done.
City Attorney Clarence Burlelgh, in
outlining the defense, sprung several
unexpected statements when he said
they would prove that Bertha Beilstein
was influenced to kill her mother and
destroy her own life by Chicago me-
diums; that both herself and her mother
were firm believers in Spiritualism; that
she was actuated TO commit the deed
through the belief that her father was
unhappy in the other world and needed
the company of herself and mother;
that the stories of her improper
relations with her Chicago cou-
sin would be disproven by both
Bertha and that cousin, who will be
brought from Chicago for that pur-
pose; that the defense would prove
Bertha an exemplary girl by the testi-
mOny of three of the best physicians in
Allegheny county, and that by four Of
| the best insanity experts i'll Western
Pennsylvania they would prove her in
sane on one subject without the least
doubt, while perfectly sane on every
other

COLUMBUS, May 10.--The Standard
Oil company won a point in the supreme
court, when a decision was handed
down dismissing the contempt proceed
ings against Malcolm Jennings, O news
paper man. Jennings was subp9naed
as witness in the Standard Oil suits
by the attorney general, who en1eav-
ored to show that the witness was con-
Quoting news bureau in the interests
of the Standard Oil company. When
asked to give q list of papers to which
he furnished such matter, Jennings re-
fused and was cited for contempt. The
supreme court held that the informa.
ton asked of the witness was not inn
portant and that 1t would not tend to
throw any light ON the question at issue.
The court held therefore that the wit.
ness was not in contempt in refusing to
answer the question.
Attorney General Monnett called the
attention of the court to the other con-
tempt cases growing out of the Stand
ard Oil prosecution, and asks that 1t be
set for hearing at as early date as pos
sible. He said he would submit brief
| in q day or two and that the printed
records in the case could be furnished
later.
Hon. Virgil p. Kline, attorney for the
| Standard Oil company, said that the
company had stood charged in the pub
lie prints with having attempted to Sc
cure results by bribery, and he did not
| think the main question should be
heard and disposed of until after these
other cases had been passed on as to
their truth or falsity and thoroughly in
vestigated.
The court reserved decision on the
question raised.
