| Today is the day set for Mr. Gates to take
| action regarding his connection with the
| management of the American Steel and
! Wire Company. The large probability is
| that he will retire and, if he does the
| chances are even much larger that bet
| ter man will be chosen in his place whether
| Mr.. FTick is the man or not 1t is said
that Mr.. Gates action will depend some
what on the decision of the criminal case
against him in New York. =. his case is
dismissed and the outlook is favorable he
will retire without further ado.
The directors will meet and adopt reso-
lutions expressing appreciation of the
labors of Gates in developing the business
of the company in SO satisfactory manner
and in establishing it in so strong finan-
cial position. No reference will be made
10 the recent episode in the affairs of the
company and Gates will be patted on the
back and told what a great man he is
and how muct: the directors and stockhold-
ers are indebted to him for his untirlng eff
forts in their behalf Then Gates will ex-
press his appreciation of such recognition
of his labors and will also regret that other
important business interests have pressed
so heavily upon him that he finds he is in
urgent need of rest and recuperation. He
has therefore decided to go abroad for a
time and with regret he finds that private
business interests and the state of his
health force him to tender his resignation
as an official of the American Steel and
Wire Company. The latter will be accept
ed and the meeting will end in a love
feast. And thus will end an episode from
which Wall Street will suffer for months
to come
The Philadelphia and Reading has in
vested $433, 000 in general mortgage As,
which have been cancelled and will be
stricken from the stock exchange lists
The sum was the sinking fund of cents
a ton which accompanied the dividend on
the first preferred stock. This stock u
by just so much moro attractive than it
was before.
The Pennsylvania purchase of the Long
Island Railway seems to be an acknowl-
edged fact. 1t is a genuine surprise tu
Wall Street, which has not yet decided why
the purchase was made.
By the refunding operations decided
upon, the Wheeling and Lake Erie Rail
road will reduce its interest charges by
s64 600 annually. The refunding bonds are
to be secured by a first mortgage en- the
whole property and any new property ae-
quired hereafter. The present divisional
mortgages VIII be done away with. In the
refunding a bonus will be paid in first
preferred and second preferred stock in
the exchange of the ole issues for the new
ones The Lake Erie division first mort |
gage per cent bonds will receive SINH |
lar amount of new bonds, $500 of the first |
preferred stock, and $3.50 of the second
preferred stock for each 81 900 bonds. The
Wheeling division first mortgage per cent

Toledo Belt Railroad first mortgage per |

new bonds, and $500 o. the first preferred |

Chandler Says the Nation Is the Vic.
tim of Armor Plate Men.
BY close vote the United States Sen
ate Saturday rejected the proposition tc
erect, without reference TO the price al
which the Government coul secure ar.
NOR plate for its warships, IN armo,
plate factory The vote upon the direct
proposition was % to "A and subsidiary
amendments were rejected by about the
same vote. During the debate Mr.. Chand
lcr delivered a speech, in which he charg
ed that the Government had been de
ira uded in the adoption of the Harveyized
arnor. He declared similar fraud was
proposed in the attempt to force the Gov
eminent to adopt the Krupp armor. Mr.
Spooner and Mr.. Hale made notable
speeches, deprecating the war talk by Mr.
Lodge. Neither the Senator from Wis
consin nor the Senator from Maine was
fearful that we might become involved in
difficulty with Germany on account Of the
Monroe doctrine. Mr.. Hoar protested
against the talk that this nation had only
recently become world power" assert
ing that it had been world power since
the war of 1872.
Mr.. Chandler took sharp issue with
the statement made by Mr.. Allison
that it would be four years before this
Government could get plate of armol
from its own factory if it built one. Mr.
Chandler concluded with the statement
that the proposed Government armol
plant could be erected for 81. SOC, 600 and
steel plant alongside it for $50O,OoO
and he believed the plants ought to be
constructed. Mr.. Stewart urged the con
struction Of a Government armor plant
not only to prevent the armor manufac
turers from milking the Government
but to enable us to do our own work il
| it should become necessary in taking and
maintaining our place as a world power

the BOer War.

What struck one Of the special CORE
spondents with Lord Alethucns force in
yalided home was the uncannlness of the
whole thing There is no pomp OF war.
no stirring music. no gay uniforms, and,
strancest thing of all, no visible enemy.
What YOU see from the standpoint of the
British staff is number of men clad IN
khaki lodging their way up the hui. max
ing for cover wherever possible. Two or
three of them suddenly drop, perhaps one
gets IN and presses forward again. The
others lie where they fell. dead or sorely
wounded. As the Beers always lire from
cover and use slnokecss powder, there is
nowhere sign Of them.
4 storv comes from South Africa which
speaks well for the constancy of the brit
ish soldier. Among the wounded brought
in one day from Potsieter's drift was a
man of scanty clothing who held some
thing in his closed hand. He had kept
his treasure in his ham,. for some eight
hours. He showed it to the sister at the
hospital. 1t was a ring. In explanation
