 Two or three choruses were taken up with much spirit, and were performed very satisfactorily to MT. Agramonte, for tNe first rehearsal. The work this season promises to be exceedingly in- teresting. It will be very academic, but will be melodic.
 Only those who sing in the chorus now will be allowed to sing in the bi- centennial chorus next fall, and all who wish to sing then should be on hand at the next rehearsal to be held next Mon- day evening. More tenors and passes are wanted

DIAMOND STEEL
FOR NEW OWNERS
Local Company to be Com
biRod With Others in
Big Trust

Tho all-absorbing topic among financial
magnates. railroad officials, and those
who are directly or Indirectly Interested
In the future OF the great steel industries
OF this country is the speculation as to
the ownership OF the Pennsylvania steel
Company and its future operation. nee
it was first announced that the Drexels
had sold their stock TO parties who would
hereafter control the company's output,
an sorts of rumors have been started
chief ot which centres around the Penn
sylvania railroad.
Although the officials Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad strenuously deny that the
railroad holds q controlling interest in the
stock of the steel company there Is every
reason to believe that while their state
ments are practically true. yet they are
merely evading the real truth Of the en-
tire matter. Il is doubtful whether legally
the Pennsylvania railroad could own the
Pennsylvania Steel Co., but Il Is within
possibility and altogether within reason
that In addition TO their stock. amounting
20 something like ti47OO.OOO. the directors
Of the Pennsylvania railroad undoubtedly
own enough more on a sort OF syndicate
plan. to make the future OF the steel com
pany absolutely under the direction Of the
Pennsylvania railroad. 1t IS asserted by
those who are IN a position 10 know that
this railroad is not the only one concern
cd In the deal but that the entire scope
means a combination Of interests that
win effectively check the plans OF the
great steel combine formed by j. Pierpont
Morgan.
The most conservative statements upon
the question make the Baltimore and
Ohio. the Norfolk and Western. Chesa-
peake and Ohio, and other roads closely
allied with the Pennsylvania as being IN
the deal-in fact. all the roads east OF the
Ohio, with perhaps the exception Of the
Philadelphia and Reading. being included.
The plan Is one Of protection Of inter
csts. 1t is estimated that these railroads
aggregate the maximum rail capac ~ OF
the Pennsylvania STEEL about GOO 900 tons
per annum. An important feature OF the
proposition is that each road shall agree
20 purchase a minimum tonnage Of steel
rails from the company and pay for them
az the then current export pr ccs.
In connection with the various steel ru-
mors comes one that appears TO be well
founded, in effect that British capitalists
are after the Independent steel companies
OF this country II is said that the Penn
sylvania Steel the Cambria Steel. the
Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad. the
Colorado Fuel and Iron. the sloss-Shef-
field S.eel and Iron, the Bethlehem Steel.
the Diamond State Steel. the I4achawanna
Iron and Steel. and the Midvale Steel
Companies are to be included in new
trust The aggregate capital of these
concerns is s23l, $4,000.

BIG STEEL TRUST
REACHING OUT
1t Likely Will Absorb All.
Competing Plants
FRIENDLY POWERS UTILIZED
In Purtherance Of Scheme Which
Means Outlay Of Many Hundreds
OF Millions

Cleveland June 1.-THE Leade
says: THE United States Steel cor
poration and fits allied interests are pre-
pairing to control its four big competi-
tors and thereby lay the foundation for
monopoly of the steel industries in
the United States. The Cambria Steel
company the Pennsylvania Steel com
pany the Bethlehem Iron company
and Jones & Laughlin will be brought
under control before winter.
"rhe manner Of obtaining control OF
these plants will be by utilizing friend
ly financial powers, such as Mr.
Schwab. the Pennsylvania railroad and
other interests Of like magnitude. The
United States Steel corporation in It.
self finds that the resources of it's pro
jectors have been about taken up in
floating the securities of that organiza
ton. hence to control these plants
which means an outlay Of several hun
dred million dollars, It IS necessary
to interest outside capital. This will
be done by retaining as aids such pow
ers as have been suggested, which will
establish a community of interests
among the finanCiers now developing
the steel industry.
"Mr. Schwab has virtually obtained
control of the Bethlehem Steel com
pany. which he will operate in close
harmony with the plants of the United
States Steel corporation.
Although the Pennsylvania railroas
officials deny connection with the sale
of the Pennsylvania Steel company
the denial is said to be technical only
and the funds for controlling the Penn
sylvania Steel company will, It is said
come from sources near TO the Penn
sylvania railroad.
1.-TWO other syndicates are said e
be forming to purchase control of the
Jones & Laughlin company. of Pitts
burg, and the Cambria Steel company
and options have already been obtain
ed on these plants.
The purpose of the purchase is saiC
to be to control the iron market wher
the dull season arrives, and by con
trolling the entire output of the stee
manufacturing plants possible ruinoul
competition will be avoided"

TWOFERRYBOATS
In A COLLISION
May Result in Loss Of Many
Lives
SEVERAL PASSENGERS HURT
Boats Crash Together and One Carry
ing Nearly 1900 People Sinks
in East River
SEVERAL PASSENGERS HURT

New York, June 15.-The wooden
sidewheeler Northheld, which has
been in the service of the Staten Isl.
and Ferry company for the past 3S
years, was rammed last night by the
steel hulled propeller Mauch Chunk,
used as a ferryboat by the Central
Railroad of New Jersey. The collision
occurred just off the Staten Island
ferry slip, at the foot of Whitehall
street, and in less than ten minutes af-
terwards the Northfeld, which had on
board 500 to 200 passengers, sank in
the East river. The Mauch Chunk,
which was badly damaged, landed the
two dozen passengers who were
aboard Of her. over hundred of the
passengers of the sunken Northfield
were dragged out of the water by peo.
pie along shore and the crews Of the
feet Of river tugs.
A few of the Northfeld's passengers
were hurt, and the police believe that
many lives were lost. Capt Daniel
Gully. of the tugboat Mutual, who saw
the ferryboats crash together, says that
Immediately after the collision be-
tween 25 and 80 of the passengers
leaped into the water, and that many
of those perished. Capt. Gully also de-
clares that he is sure over a hundred
of the Northfield's passengers were
drowned. The captains of the other
tugboats who were early on the scene,
however, are inclined to think that the
disaster was not so serious as regards
to loss of life.
The reason for such a difference of
opinion as to the extent of the disaster
is that the widest excitement prevail.
ed on the Northheld. The tug Mutual
saved in all about 75 persons from the
Northfeld and the tugs Unity and Ar
row saved between them $50 persons.
Two policemen of the old Slip Station
claim to have rescued nearly 80 peo-
pie between them. But this accounts
for less than a fourth of those on board.
AS soon as the crowd which had fol-
lowed the sinking ferryboat along the
river front were able to render any
aid they worked with a will and in
many instances men sprang into the
water to save life.
While the Northfleld was well equip
ped with life preservers, which were
slowed in out Of the way places, NOT
more than two dozen of the endanger-
ed passengers were able to get the life
belts on. This state of affairs was be-
cause the life preservers were not
handily obtainable.
