Iron and Steel company. whereby the
new concern will take over all the prop
critics Of that company The new trust
will not compass complete consolidation
Of all the sheet steel interests of the
country, some OF the largest mills in the
East not yet being included in the list
of properties that may be absorbed, but
it is said that in the course of few
months these also will be drawn into
the organization The movement now
crystapizing for a combine OF the sheet
steel industry has, we are told been
under way for year.
Ex-SpealSer Reed may or may not have
engaged himself in the organization of an
illegal body. The combination which
the American Sheet Steel company rep
resents. whether 1t Is obnoxious to the
laws of any of the states in which 1t
will operate or not, will certainly be

ture In determining the market prices of
the commodity in which it deals. This

the other existing sheet steel foundries
and is able to shut off all potential COM
petition in its business.
One OF the greatest questions which the
country will soon be compelled to face
is the one. whether a sound public policy
admits of the organization of such bodies,
even though they may not be said to be
so entirely mouopoHstic as to put an end
to competition. The men who are en-
gagged in the work of their formation
are among the brightest intellects in the
country. 1t will be surprising. if. 1t be-
Ing conceded that such organizations
must be wholly monopolies before the
law will interfere with them, these men
cannot find the way to create what in
actual operation are monopolies. while
defying the power of public authority to
establish their true character so as to
bring them under the ban Of the law.
The control by these vast forces Of prac
tically all the men in the country of the
high intellectual ealber of Thomas B.
Reed and John G. Carlisle and others like
them makes the trust problem one of
additional gravity.

A SPECIMEN COMBINE.

The most important appearance by the
late speaker Thomas B. Reed, in pub
lie or quasi public character has re-
Gently been made as counsel engaged in
the great work Of organizing the vast
sheet steel combination to be known as
the American Sheet Steel company.
More of public attention has been d.
rected toward this huge trust formation
than would have been the case had some
comparatively unknown attorney appear
ed in the transaction. To that extent
the former speaker must be regarded
as having rendered something of pub
lie service even by his initial appearance
as a trust lawyer.
The American Sheet Steel company Is
expected before the expiration of the
present month to have over $50 mills In
operation. scattered throughout the Mid
die West. It represents an aggregate
capital of something like 5000, O00. 900, and
among the more important concerns to
be absorbed by it are the following: The
Cambridge Iron and Steel company. Of
Cambridge, O; the Canton Rolling Mill
company, of Canton, O.; the Charlier
Iron and Steel company, of Pfttsburg;
the Corning Steel company. of Ham
mond, Ind; the Dennison Rolling Mil
company, the Dresden Iron and Steel
company. of Dresden O.; the EwaId Iron
company, of St. Louis and Louisville; the
Falcon Iron and Nail company. Of Niles,
o.; the Hyde Park Iron and Steel COM
pany, of Hyde Park. Pa; Kirkpatrick &
Co., limited, of Pittsburg; P. H Dauf-
man & Co., Pittsburg: the Midland Steel
company, of Muncie, Ind; the National
Steel company, of Chicago; Aetna Stan
dard Works, of Bridgeport, O.. the New
port Rolling Mill company, of Newport,
Ky; New Philadelphia Iron and Steel
company, of Scottville, Pa; Piqua Roll

of keeping our armed force at high water
mark. or keeping such force in the Phil
ippines, or any force approaching 1t such
as we have in the islands at present?
Unless there is speedily inaugurated
some specific movement which will bring
the dominion of militarism to close
among our Asiatic Subjects" the coun-
try will be forced to the conclusion that
all our pacific professions regarding these
unfortunate people have been false, and
that we are engaged In the business of
government by force to stay.

HOW LONG WILL 1T LAST,

HOW LONG WILL 1T LAST9
We haze the high authority Of Mai. Gen.
Otis for the statement that the losses IN
hicted on our arms in the Philippines
during the present year have been great
ly disproporttoned to the vast losses IN
fiicted on the insurgents. It is pointed
out by him In his most recent cable COM
munication that we have since Tan. 1 suf-
fered only the trivial loss In killed and
wounded of about 10 officers and 25O men
The inference which the country IS ex-
pected to draw is very plain. It is that
the war IS ended, and that most of the
former insurgents have developed mo
mere ladrones, and are not now to be re-
garded either under the rules OF war or
otherwise as soldiers.
All this is very reassuring, especially
when considered In connection with the
recent statement of Secretary Root that
it has cost US ''only" $4S, 900, 900 to meet the
expense OF the trouble immediately occa-
stoned in the Islands, exclusive aItoget1e,
OF the cost Of recruiting. equipping and
transporting the new regiments which
have been raised to take the places Of
the state volunteers. With these added
expenses, It is safe to say that the fig
ures will be much nearer the estimates
for military expenditures for the coming
years. which are placed at $l2O, OoO, 900.
Among the less important considera-
lions affecting the situation, and O.,

is the one that we are not to suffer anv

notwithstanding that the war has come
to close The 10000 men which Cen.
Otis assured the country repeatedly woul
do the business are added to by about 90.
600 more. now available in the Philippines.
What the need is of maintaining such .
force. or, Indeed, any save nominal force
there. now that the war is ended. does not
seem at all plain. Why we should go On
shooting the ladrones so industriously if
the war is ended, or If it is our purpose.

WOULD NOT MEET THE PRINCE.

Saturday Evening Post
Probably the only American of distInc-
ton who was In New York at the time
and declined to meet the Prince of Wales
when he visited America before the Civil
war did meet him afterward and has not
been forgotten by Englands future king
since, 1t Is an old story The American
is Col. Ethan Allen, author. financier.
Z diplomat and clubman. Allen was about
the princes age, a law student Of the
New York university. He refused to at
tend any of the. functions.
If the prince wants to see me let him
call on me- he said
His friends laughed. But the prince did
call upon Allen the first week he was
there 1t was In the old university build
Ing in Washington square, where young
Allen had shut himself up for stduy The
same day the chancellor was TO receiva
the prince In another part of the build
ing
The reception hour came and Allen sat
IN his solitude. Before long he heard a
loud knocking and a voice:
open this door Who's In here?.'
He opened the door and there stood
chancellor Ferris and on his arm was the
prince. They evidently felt it relief to
De out Of the jam. The members Of the
party were advanced in years except Mr..
Allen and the prince, and the two boys
soon came together
said. = mo
Thank you, sir" replied Mr.. Allen.
Inc two men then took seats together
and talked for more than an hour. When
they parted the prince said: II don't
Know when l have had such good time.
VIII you call upon me at my hoteI?"
No. was the prompt reply, 81 haven't
the time"
The prince looked astonished, but went
on well, if you haven't time now. Mr..
Allen, perhaps you may have time when
you visit England AT any rate, don't for
get me-"
Though Col. Allen has visited England
many times, he has never awaited himself
OF this invitation. but last year when the
prince received representative Of the
Sons of the American Revolution he said:
was looking over an old diary. and 7
came across the strangest incident that
happened to me during my American
visit. 1t was about man named Allen
who refused to meet me. Do you know
