TT is EITHER A KING OR PAUPER,
IS ANDREW CARNEGIEs's WAY
OF TELLING 1T.
NO NATIONAL STEEL TRUs5
TO CONTROL THE ENTIRE INDUS
TRY HAS BEEN BROACHED.
so FAR AS MIR. CAR
NEGIE KNOWS.

NEW PORK, January 1.-THE Eve
ming Post has the following:
Andrew Carnegie to-day himself af-
firmed the denial CT the stories which
were current yesterday to the effect
that j. p Morgan and others were pre-
pairing to buy the Carnegie Steel Com
pany. Until Mr.. Carnegie made this
statement, 1t was still believed in
many quarters that the first step had
been taken towards uniting all the
steel companies of the country under
one so-called community of interest"
control, after the plan of consolidation
recently followed by Mr. Morgan and
his associates in the railroad world.
Have these interests made any con-
certed efforts to acquire the Carnegie
properties?" asked a reporter OF Mr..
Carnegie
None" said Mr.. Carnegie
rs there any truth whatever in the
story that the j. p Morgan interests
are preparing to buy out the Carnegie
Steel Company and form a general
combination with other companies in
the trade!" it was asked again.
mo truth that know Of" answered
Mr. Carnegie. The idea is in the
air, just as railroad combinations, but
it is only an idea-what combination
it would make!"
''Is the Carnegie Steel Company in
any sense on the market, or is it sat
isfed with the existing condition and
prepared TO do business on its own
terms?"
Said Mr. Carnegie: ut is not in the
market. 1t is prepared to do business,
of course but always in a friendly CO.
operation with others. 1t is no ag-
gressive, quarrelsome concern"
is not continued competition among
steel men desirable in the public in
terest?"
Il see no reason to believe" said Mr..
Carnegie, that competition in any
business can be permanently prevented,
unless by patent or control of new
materials. Even the railroads viii
soon quarrel and the gentlemen's
agreements go to pieces. This is hui
man nature"
In reply to the question whether the
steel industry were not profitable
enough now to insure good returns to
companies properly capitalized and
managed, without competition, MFR.
Carnegie said:
Just now, yes. 1t is prosperous.
But steel is either a king or a pauper.
1t is the jumping jack of business

mittee held three sessions to-day.
From the line Of examination ADOPT
Cd, the Congressman are evidently bent
on the abolition Of hazing and fighting
at the academy. They put Cadet
Brown through an exhaustive exam
nation, in the course Of which they
ELECTED the fact that in violation OF the
rules and regulations Of the institu-
ton the upper class men carry intox-
icating liquor into the reservation and
consume quite considerable quantity
of it.
Another stringent rule seems to have
been broken with impunity. This is
the regulation prohibiting smoking.
cadet Brown acknowledged that tho
majority OF the cadets were cigarette
smokers and plenty of cigarettes were
struggled into the institution.
Gen. Dick, Judge Smith and Mr..
Drlgss handled Brown without gloves.
Mr. briggs told him that the first class
men thought they were the whole
thing, and Judge Smith said they wero
conceited, arrogant and ignorant in
their presumption of setting their
judgment against that of the authori-
Ties or the academy.
cadet Joseph f. Barnes. of the Dis
trict of Columbia, another OF Keller's
seconds, was the only other witness
called.
Cadet Brown defended the West
Point lighting code. but admitted that
nghtng would cease if cadets knew
they would be expelled for it. He
thoueht also that an oath against fight
ing would stop the practice, because
no cadet would break the oath. and il
ne ala ne would be reported by other
cadets for acting disohonorably.
Cadet Brown told about the fourth
class men being required to read
things about themselves or relatives.
" AT the end OF each line" he said. "as
was the case With Cadet Hobson, they
are required to insert their own names.
Mr. Hobson once read about his
Brother and the incident of the sink
ing OF the 'Merrimac' and at the end
OF each line he had to say, i am the
man.
Did he read anything about the
California incident" asked Mr.. briggs.
No sir. he was not asked to do
DtS"A AOP4ACut laughing as rs
spoke.
This appeared to greatly amuse the
women spectators present.
AT the night session under examina-
ton of Chairman Dick, Cadet Brown
said that eagling, wooden willie, foot
ball, sitting on bayonet. sweating,
chewing rope, hanging on stretcher
and double spring were forms of haz-
ing that had been discontinued.
Those in practice recently, he said
were qualifying in the mess hall, on
prunes or sammy" scolding the gun
ner, bracing, sounding tecks, dragging
tent and examining feet
Fist fights are still in vogue?"
Eyes sir, they have not been doae
away with, replied Brown.
Judge Smith asked the witness IL
he did not think the upper classmen
were conceited, arrogant and ignorant
in their treatment of fourth class men
in violation of the laws and regula-
tions. but Brown could not see 1t In
that light.
Ne was then excused and Cadet
Joseph T. Barnes. District of Column
bia, Kellers other second. was called
and examined by Judge Smith regard
ing the fight with Booz His examin-
alton was only partly concluded when
the committee adjourned until morn

QUAY WILL BE ELECTED
ON THE FIRST BALLOT.
No Room, for Doubt That the Penn
sylvania Republican Boss VIII
Win the ScnatcrsIiip.


HARRISBURG, Pa, January IA
There is every indication tonight
that the bitter struggle for United
States Senator will terminate to-mor-
row with the election of Col. NJ. S.
Quay, the nominee of the joint Rcpub-
lican caucus. The Democrats will
vote for Col. James VI. Guffay, OF
Pittsburg, and the anti-Quay Republic
cans are expected to distribute their
votes among several ''favorite sons"
lhe House and Senate will vote
separately at O'Clock tomorrow
afternoon and the probabilities are
that Mr.. Quay's combined vote will
not fall short OF 1870. 1t requires 127
votes to elect and it is pretty general
ly conceded that he will poll at least
this number. There is nothing to i'll
dlcate tonight that there will not be
an election on the first ballot or that
there will be another deadlock sim
liar TO that of 1889. when the Legisla-
ture adjourned after taking 79 baliats
without making a choice.

ming to-day. Rubin appeared at
matinee and again tonight, and was
not molested. The Evangelical ALI
