MANY RUMORS F

ping Deal-NO Facts Known.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 1.-THE negotiations
for the purchase of Andrew Carnegie's
stock in the Carnegie Steel Company by j.
Pierpont Morgan continues to be the alb
sorbing topic in iron and steel circles here.
To-day 1T was stated by one of the minority
stockholders that the deal is of much
greater significance than has even been
reported, but he refused to specify what he
meant, explaining that he is bound by a
promise not to disclose certain facts that
came to his knowledge through mpa
channels.
In another source it was asserted that
when the purchase has been made a num-
Der of the companies will be consolidated
in a manner similar to the present organi-
cation of the Carnegie Company. A new
organization is proposed, to be the omni-
bus company that will own a majority OF
the stock of the constituent companies and
will dictate the policy.
A report reached Pittsburg to-day that
the deal ~contemplates the consolidation Of
the Pittsburg Steamship Company, the
Carnegie concern. the great Rockefeller ore
fleet and the fleet of the American Steel
and Wire Company. The new organization,
in that case, will dominate entirely the
ore-carrying trade of the great lakes. At
the Carnegie building an official said that
an announcement will be made the latter
part OF the week.

the Swift Packing Company, at his resi-
dence in his city. The wound is not
serious. although the ball passed through
Seeley's arm. Mrs. Seeley wore a beard

DOVER, Del, Feb. 12.-There are no indi-
