New York, Feb. THE Post says:
A participant in the pending negotia-

mo matter what statements purport-
ing to be authoritative may have been
published, ! assure you that no genuine
statement giving terms Of the negotia-
tions has been given out, and, what is
more, none will he communicated TO the
public for several days"
at is to be inferred, then, that nego-
iations have been in progress and that
they are expected 10 advance furtherW
1T has been evident that certain nego-
| tiations have been going on, and what
has been said concerning their aims is
not all fiction. The essence of the situa-
| tiun Is this:
Here are number of great steel
companies, each successful, each opulent
each directed by aggressive business men,
each operative, in a field of its own. The
temptation exists and may appeal to any
one of the companies to enter upon the
province of another The intelligence Of
the present undertaking lies in the recog-
uition Of the moment as the supremely
lopportune time for such action as will
forestall possible conflict and establish
complete and permanent harmony"

DRUG STORES WRECKED.
Poyie Followers In Chicago Adopt
Mrs, Nations Tactics.

Chicago, Feb. 7.-Crying out that drugs
were the agents of the devil, half doz-
en- women followers Of Dowie, the faith
cure leader, adopted the tactics Of Mrs.
Carrie Nation and wrecked number OF
drug stores on the West Side. In some
instances there were hand to hand fights
with the druggists.
Armed as they were with pitchforks,
umbrellas and canes, the women came
ont the victors in nearly every encounter
and succeeded in destroying property
wherever they went.
The women, well organized band,
were OF middle age and well dressed.
Most OF them wore automobile coats,
under which they concealed their imple-
ments Of destruction while on the street.
On leaving a drug store they invariably
sang praised Be the Lord" or Zion
Forever" Policemen saw them, but at
tached no significance to their actions,
and no arrests were made.
| The first place visited was Charles q.
Foucek's drug store, at Eighteenth street
and Center avenue. Calling the proprie-
tor to the front of the store, the crusaders
upbraided him for dealing in trafhcs of
the devil. Then one Of the women, who
seemed to a leader, asked, Don't you
know that all the ills Of humankind can
be cured by prayer?"
81 am not aware Of the fact II such is
the case" said the druggist.
"Hurrah for Dowie" shouted the wo
man. At that her companions drew
canes and umbrellas from beneath theil
long cloaks and began to strike at th'
druggists head He lodged the blows
and took refuge behind the prescription
case. Then the women turned their at
tcntion to the shelves and showcases ant
began to strike right and left. The be
siegers were finally dispersed by th'
clerks Of the store, who armed themselye
with buckets of water which they dis
pensed freely among the women.
Four other drug stores in the sam
ueighborhood, belonging to b. l.. Lowen
thai, i. l.. Mrazek, Herman Limerma,
and o. Shapiro, were also wrecked b
the crusaders, and the same tactics wer
used. The women finally separated afte
being driven from one Of the stores at tn
