A BLOW AT THE NAVY.
One of the Motives Ascribed for the
Big steel Combine.

NEW YORK. Feb 15.-The Mail and
Express" this afternoon quotes high
official at the Brooklyn Navy Yard as say
ing;
There is more in this projected Steel
Trust than the public understands. II Is a
question of vast Importance to those VINO
want to see the uninterrupted advance
ment of the American Navy. and this Is
what the steel combine Will prevent.
"A consolidation OF the chief steel in
dusJries of the country will place the
United States Government absolutely at its
mercy. as far as hard faced ar.nor is
concerned, and the Navy Department will
either have TO pay an excessive price for
its battleships or Congress VIII have to
again instruct the department 10 form
plant for the manufacture Of its own plate.
One of the chief objects Gf this COM
bine is 10 force the Government to either
pay their price or go to England for its
armor. 1t is known here that Secretary
Long has had conference with President
Mckinley on the possibility OF the com
biIe eXtorting double the present price to
armor. and that a number of Congress
men, at the instigation OF the Secretary,
have begun a quiet Investigation TO learn
the intention of the trust.
Il understood further that Secretary
Long and the President both believe in
the advisabilit, of the Government estab-
fishing an arm or plant of its own. The
last Congress made a provision in an
armor measure. authorizing Secretary
Long to procure a site. and $1,000, coo was
appropriated toward the erection of a
plant 1t is an open question if this clause
docs not still hold good
The contracts for armor under it have
been awarded. but the delivery is very
slew. and In this way also the United
States is at the mercy Of the steel men. l
predict that the steel combination will
apply the screws a few months after the
new consolidation goes into effect. and
that the Government will then be forced
to show its teeth as 1t did when the Car
negie and Bethlehem works demanded 100
per cent more than arInor was marked.
THE threat of establishing factory on
the part of the Government alone brought
the steei cOmpanieS to time"
