thority of the secretary OF one Of the
largest steel companies in England.
representative of the Associated Press
is able to say that there will not be
any steel trust formed here. There
may possibly be some combinations of
the smaller concerns, but the steel
trade of England is practically in the
hands of three firms, and these con-
Germs emphatically deny that they con-
template amalgamation or absorption.
1t appears that a firm of London
brokers, associated with John r. Bart

leading houses here. but received an
emphatic refusal to agree to the propo-
sitlons made.

NEW YORK. October 2s.-The Bet

clares that the Turkish troops follow
ine the brigsnds holding Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone. the American missionary and her
helper, Nine. Tsilka. for ransom, haze
ne intention of trying to capture the
rufians. says the Vienna correspondent
OF the World. On the contrary the sol
diers and officials provide the brigands
with food. it is asserted. The newspa-
per says that the brigands are being
protected under order from the high
est Turkish authorities for the reason
that the Sultan is keen for revenge
against the United States for the pres
sure brought to bear by America with
reference TO indemnities for the Ar
menian massacres by the Turks
AS these declmations emanate from
the organ of a revolutionary party that
Is making war on Turkey. and are not
accompanied by any proofs. they are
not accepted as wholly without preju-
dice.
The Posehta says that the Bulgarian
government is doing everything in its
power to assist the American represen-
tatives, and has instituted a strict in
quiry to discover the identity Of those
who made the capture of Miss Stone
and to learn If the kidnapping had an
other and more important object than
that of ransom.
The impression is created that Miss
Stone will certainly be released, and at
an early date.

NEW YORK, October 23.---The pro-
jeoted amalgamation of tho business
interests OF the largest iron and steel
manufacturers in tho United Kingdom
has SO far escaped observation. says
the Tribune's London correspondent.
The formation of the United States
Steel Corporation was the signal for
similar concentrations of capital In
Europe. The German iron masters
and steel manufacturers. under the
leadership of tho Krupps, have been
endeavoring TO organise an Industrial
combination. and the Belgian mine
owners and iron and steel manufactur-
ers have been moving in the same d.
rection. The interests of both those
countries are centered In q fcw hands
and these combinations. which not yet
effected, are easy in comparison With
tho amalgamation OF the British iron
and steel manufacturers. whose inter-
ests here are of tremendous magnitude
and inertia.
protracted negotiations have been
required, but a combination is being
arranged by group of the largest iron
and steel manufacturers Of the north
and south with the help Of an Ameri-
can organizer. This combination Will
control tho manufacture Of rails In the
United Kingdom, and will have cash
capital of G20.000.00 without a drop
OF water; and when another group OF
large manufacturers of iron and steel.
with whom negotiations are now In
progress, is drawn In the capital Will
be increased to forty million pounds.
The American organizer III John r.
Bartlett, who effected not long ago =
combination of the oil manufacturing
trade and won the confidence of q large
group of English capitalists by his
skill and practical intelligence In con-
Quoting financial operations. He Wis.,
tied during the spring nearly all the
important iron and steel works of the
United Kingdom, and. after looking
over the ground and meeting the mas
tiers of the iron and steel industry, he
submitted to them a. plan for effecting
n combination of their business inter-
ests.
These proposals were accompanied
BY preliminary. memorandum OF the
scheme of combination worked out with
RECESSION and painstaking care, showing
that financial syndicate would be
formed to underwrlte and furnish all
thee cash required for the successful or
eanization Of the amalgamated COM
pany. each vendor having the privi-
lepe of Joining It. There have been
many conferences, and the manufRc-
turers, while intensely Interested, have
wanted time for reflection. Many Of
the most important iron and steel con-
Germs of the United Kingdom now have
the whole matter under consideration.
While the organizer is an American.
the protective enterprise is exclusively
English and is not connected In any
way with the United States Steel Cor
poration. 1t is not organized in hos
tility to the American combination, but
for mutual protection and self-defense
for the immense masses Of English
capital Invested In iron and steel. The
concentration OF capital in the iron
and steel trade will open the way for
similar movements among English
mine owners. shipping lines and textile
trades. and even railways. which are
now operating against one another.

Ella Seiglin and Mrs. Daughson, living near thls
city fought duel with revovers at twenty
PAGES yesterday, and Mrs. Segln is now IN a
hospital dangerously, but not necessarily fatally
wounded Two of her opponents shots lodged
in her breast but she is able TO talk volubly
and is anxious TO recover. that she may again
fight Mrs Daughson.
The duel grew out of a long standing feud be-
tween the women. Jealousy being the original
cause Mrs. Daughson lived on farm just
south Of the city and Mrs. Seiglin has frequently
endeavored to arouse the temper Of her neighbor
by various means the most effectual being the
claim that she (Mrs. Seiglin) could take Mrs
raughson's husband away from his wife any
time she wished.
Mrs. Daughson finally appealed to the courts.
and yesterday forenoon Mrs. Seiglin was fined
$500 for trespassing upon the Daughson prop
erty and inciting trouble. AS soon as she pald
the fine. Mrs seigin drove out to the Daughson
home, snarting under the loss of money and
the criticism of the trial judge. Riding up TO
the door Of the Daushson house she invited her
rival TO come out and fight duel. Mrs. Daugh-
son promptly accepted the challenge and came
out armed with a revolver.
The women faced each other at fully fifty feet
and began shooting. the signal being given by a
daughter of Mrs. Seiglin. Each fired three shots
without effect. Then Mrs. Daughson got the
range and fired two shots in quick succession,
both striking Mrs Seiglin in the breast. She
fell and Mrs Daughson assisted in carrying her
into the house, where physician dressed her
wounds. after which she was conveyed to a
