THE GREAT STEEL DEAL.
Billion Dollars Practically Involved
Speculataou About Price.


New York. Feb. 6.--The announce
ment this morning that Andrew Carne-
gle had disposed Of the control of the
Carnegie company to j. Pierpont Nor
gan and his associates attracted wide
spread attention among business men
to-day. Not only Wall street. but the
entire community as well appeared
deeply interested in the transactions
connected with what the local neWspa-
pers denominate a billion dollar steel
combine.
The concensus of opinion among
bankers and brokers seems to be that
what Andrew Carnegie had really done
was to sign contract to deliver his
stock holdings in the Carnegie company
to J. Pierpont Morgan &, Co. All state
Inents as to the price to be paid by Mr..
Morgan and the business men asso-
ciated with him in the transaction ap-
peared to be mere idle speculation.
In the steel and iron trade, where n
calm and conservative view of the al
legged combination was taken 1t was the
opinion to-day that the course of such
a deal as that proposed would bring the
Carnegie, the Federal Steel and Nation
al Steel companies and the billet mill of
the Steel and Wire company under one
management, while the companies turn
ing out finished product it was suggest
ed would perhaps be looked after by
another management.
The consolidation of all of these in
terests along the lines indicated, 1t is
claimed, would require capitalization
of $750,000000, although a prominent
gentleman is quoted as saying that not
more than one-fourth of this sum would
be required in actual cash. No an
nouncement he's yet been made as to
the properties to be included into the
new consolidation, nor of the plans for
floating it.

stabulary, including those enlisted in

tend to 5000 and the new colonial con-
tingents to replace those Withdrawn
will probably reach 5000.

the lack of initiative and independence
Of action shown by subordinate COM
manders, and refers to the independent,
intelligent action on the part of the
rank and file. AS regards the artillery,
he says, too much drill was introduced
on the battlefield, in many cases the
action of batteries being paralyzed by
awaiting the orders of brigadier divi-
sion commander, many favorable op-
portunities being thereby missed.

Hague says that at the reception to the
