MIR. BACON TELLS { OF IMPROVEMENTS Says Ensley Steel Plant Will
 Not be Enlarged REPORTS WERE ERRONEOUS The $3,ooo,ooo Derived From Recent Bond Issue of Tennessee Go. Will
 Not Be Expended in the Bir-
 mngham District.
REPORTS WERE ERRONEOUS

You may state authoritatively that the ment of the steel plant at Ensley are mere fabrications and for some time to come there will be no additions to the present plant" said Don O. Bacon. chair man of the board of directors of the Ten nessee Company yesterday. 1T have fre- quently seen articles In the newspapers to the effect that great changes would be made at the steel plant" continued MT. Bacon, but assure you such a move is not now contemplated"
 MT. Bacon was then asked If there would be any changes in the officers of the Tennessee Company at Ensley.
 MT. Palmer. superintendent of the steel plant, has resigned" replied MT. Bacon, "and his place will be filled by John A. Mcconnell of Coalesville, Pa, on or about July 1.''
 How will the B, GOO. 600 be derived from the recent bond issue be expended?"
 'As to the money derived from the re- cent bond issue," said MT. Bacon, you may say that 1t will not be expended on the plants at Ensley, and it is probable that little of 1t will be used in the Bir- mingham district. Such funds as we will need from time to time in making inn provements will be drawn from the regu- lar treasury
 Chairman Bacon said that during the next few months there will be many inn provements made around the ore mines in this district. There will be no radical changes in the methods of operating the mines. but the present machinery and other equipment has worn so that it is practically useless and entirely new ma chinery will be bought '"These improve ments around the mines will not be done at once," explained MT. Bacon. "but the rev apparatus will be bought from time to time as it becomes necessary"

MANY RUMORS IF 4 NEW COMBINATION
 -------- SIoss-SheffleId Company Re- ported in Another Deal REPORT IS NOT CREDITED Mir. Hopkins Says He Is Not Informed as to Combination With PennsyI- vania Companies and Doubts
 It's Authenticity.
REPORT IS NOT CREDITED

A report, which originated in Philadel- phia, was circulated in Birmingham yes terday to the effect that the Sloss-Shef- field Steel and Iron Company was about to enter a combination with the Cambria Iron Company. The Pennsylvania Steel Company and the Colorado Steel and Iron Company. According to the rumor the capital stock of the big combine was to be about ssOo,OoOOO0.
 The story says that the Cambria Iron Company of Pennsylvania has arranged to increase it's capital stock
 from s4.00o000 to s50,0 GOO. and that this Is being done as preliminary
 step towards that company's entrance into the new steel combine. The com
 bine according to the Philadelphia re-
 port will embrace the Cambria Com
 pany. the Pennsylvania Steel Com
 pany, the Colorado Steel and Iron
 Company, the Sloss-Sheffield Steel
 and Iron Company, and other large
 manufacturing companies. The com
 bination. it is reported. may have a
 capital of more than s300. 600, 00O Hints
 of the formation of this combine,
 says the report from the east were
 given some time ago, when John W.
 Gates began accommodating stock, but
 the Pennsylvania companies were not
 grouped In the scheme, as they were
 largely under the organ Influence. So
 far as the Sloss- Sheffield Company's
 connected with this movement Is con-
 cerned nothing has been given out
 locally. No officials of that company
 could be seen today, but no one would
 be surprised to see the company en-
 ter into such combine, say well in-
 formed iron men.
 President Hopkins of the Sloss-Shef- field Company was asked for informa- ton concerning the combination yester- day afternoon, and he said that it was news to him. and that he doubted the authenticity of the report.
 'Of course 1t could have been done without my knowledge" explained Mir. Hopkins, ''but 1t is probable that would have heard of it if such a deal was contemplated"
 r. Hopkins said that he had just re- ceived a marked copy of New York paper containing tele- gram from Philadelphia. announc- ing the reported combination. He said this new deal was one that he had not thought of and that he could not see any benefit to be derived therefrom. ITO sum the case up," concluded MT. Hopkins" " you may say that I know absolutely nothing of the reported combination"

Madison, Jackson and Polk.
 Something of the Future.
 "As to what men will be put forward in 1904 to lead our forces In favor of economical just and constitutional gov ernment. 1t is now too early to discuss But there has never yet arisen great emergency in the country when there were not suitable men for 1t. And so 1t will be.
 Why, the extravaganza alone of the Republican party ought to be sufficient to forever condemn 1t. The F'lfty-tirst Con gress, over which Speaker Reed pre- sided, and President Harrison, were beat largely because their appropriations reached the billion dollar mark But com pared with the last Congress, the Fifty first was parsimo nious. for the appro- prlations during the last Congress were close on to the two billion mark. Ala bama pays a large portion of this. In this matter of appropriations, as in taxa tion and many other things that might be discussed, there is crying need of a change. There is crying need for the overthrow of the Republican party and a return of the Democracy to power"
