New York, March 2O.-The Evening
Post says:
With the passing of title to the SO per
cent of the stock of the constituent steel
companies the United States Corpora
tion carries into effect today the greatest
merger of stock ownership ever attempt
ed, Those in charge of the negotiations
think that II per cent represents all the
outstanding minority interests with the
probability that even this margin will be
reduced by stock deposits in process of
collection before midnight. Much of the
stock deposited has come from Western
points, where holders are at a disadvant-
age as regards banking facilities available
for negotiating the transfers. What stock
comes in tomorrow will probably be put
through on the same terms If it can be
shown that the initial steps were taken
today or earlier.

the consolidation plan, well informed per-
sons announced today that the different
constituent corporations would continue
their individual existence so long as the

CHARLOTTE HARD AT WORK.
Failure Of Congress to Appropriate for Govern
ment Exhibit Cuts no Ice.
(By the Assoelated Press.l }

(By the Associated Press)
Charleston, S. c., March 2O.-The failure
of Congress to make an appropriation of
$3.50, 900 for Government building and
exhibit at the South Carolina Interstate
and West Indian Exposition to be held
at Charleston will not interfere in any
way with the scope and purpose of the
undertaking. The work of construction
on the grounds and buildings is proceed
ing with all possible expedition. The
bill which Congress failed to pass simply
provided the means for covering the err
penses Of the Government building and
exhibit Not one penny of the amount
asked for could have been diverted to
any other than Government uses, so that
the failure of the bill has not diminished
the resources of the exposition company
or caused any change in its general
plans.
The appropriation thus far of $50 900
by the Legislature of Missouri for repre-
sentation at Charleston as well as at
Buffalo; of $3.50 by the State of Oregon
for the same purpose; of $780, 900 for Penn
sylvania State building of $4,000 for a
New York State building; $685. 900 for a
Philadelphia City building, and the as
surance Qf city buildings from Baltimore
and Cincinnati show that the business in
terests Of the country appreciate the
value of the exposition at Charleston.

RoCKH1LL rs MORE HOPEFUL.
A New Proposition by This Government With
Respect to Indemnities
(By The Associated PressJ

Washington, March 21.-Another and
later advice from Mr.. Rockhill, our spe-
ciaI commissioner at Pekin, is of more
hopeful tone than those Immediately pre-
ceding, for it indicates that the subject
Of indemnities is being discussed with
an ap2arent disposition to reach a unani-
nous conclusion.
The United States proposition looking
TO the agreement of the powers upon
a lump sum for indemnities, fixed by the
ability of the Chinese to pay without de-
stroying the Government seems to be
growing in favor. But the difficulty is
that while perhaps the majority of the
powers, and even all of them, might be
induced to accept the principle of thus
gauging the burden to the strength of
China. they are far from unanimous
as to the method of distributing the money
among themselves.
without displaying the pending propo-
sition the United States has advanced
another, namely:
To divide the total indemnity collected
say 500, 600 ,0O0-into eight parts, Of which
the United States would receive one. it
is true that ten powers are represented
at Pekin but at least two of them have
nc foundation fer a claim for indemnity.
This suggestion has not been warmly re-
ceived by these nations which claim TO
have been put to very much more ex-
pense than was the United States through
the Boxer troubles.
