The romantic drama is at its height
throughout the world to-day. Monte

play ever written is "A Soldier of the
Empire" This may sound Is an ex-
aggerated statement, but facts bear it
out. This famous play will be present
ed here next --onday evening by the

superb manner that characterized its
great conquest in New York city. Not

INDEPENDENT CONCERNS
WILL BE HELPED RATHER THAN
INJURED BY THE STEEL
COMBINE
Is the Opinion Of One Fully Convers-
ant With Industrial Condition..
Interview with an Official Of .
Wheeling Concern in the Steel
Business.

There has been a great deal Of spec
ulation in labor circles generally as
to the probable effect of the United
States Steel Corporation upon the
smaller. independent concerns in this
line of business and the manager of
a South Side plant, which has not been
absorbed by any of the trusts that
will form the constituents Of the i'm
mense combine, very Interestingly dis
cussed this important question last
evening in an interview with a Reg
lister representative.
The steel combine will not injure
the small concerns" he said. but
will rather help them. The consum-
nation of such a deal involves such
a large capital that they would Of
course have to make much larger
profits proportionately than the other
concerns in order to satisfy their
stockholders, and we would be max
ing money too"
When further questioned as to the
prospective consequences Of the enter
prise he said: There are Indications
that the price of steel will go up soon
after the steel combine is completed.
And there are also probabilities that
the proposed Carnegie tube plant will
never be built and the combine may
be broken up because it is evident
that it Is depending upon it for one of
its main constituents"
Another official of a local independ-
ent concern in the steel business was
also interviewed. but he refused to ex-
press his opinion in the matter On
being asked If he thought there was
occasion for alarm among the indie
pendent concerns because of the COM
bine, he merely stated: Wei We
will not 90 out of the huSineSS."

A Young Wife.

A Young Wife.
The Grand Opera House was COM
pletely filled last night to witness the
first presentation in Wheeling of the
string melodrama "A Young Wife"
The story is one of fascinating inter-
est and the plot is developed naturally
through a series Of very interesting
situations, while the denouement in
the last act rs particularly pleasing and
satisfying. 1t Is an excellent play, and
it is presented by a strong company,
headed by Miss Selma Hermann, a
beautiful actress whose emotional work
is superb. The company carries special
stage settings and the production is
first class. 1t will doubtless necessitate
the use of the standing room only

week.

power; ooaling stations 81 Havana, Glen

IL is dfffiouls % sss now these dsHmsnds
can be rsoonoiled with the declaration
Of Congress on the eve Of the Spanish
war that "Cuba was. and by right
ought 10 be. fr~e and independent" or
with the Teller resolution which declares
that
1.-THE United States hereby disclalms
any dispoEition or intention to exercise
sovereignty 1urisidiction or control over
said island, except for the publication
thereof, and asserts its determination,
when this Is accomplished. to leave the
Rovernmsnt and control Of the island to
ia people"
Freedom and Independence are not
compatible with the right Of another
country to dstermine the form OF govern
ment, nor with the right OF a foreign
power TO demand coaling stations, We do
not helieve the War Department has
made any such demands. The admins
tration, there Is plenty OF reason for be-
lieyinr, has decided to turn over 20 Con-
gress the duty OF determining our future
relations with Cuba, the natural thing
tn do inasmuch ne IL was in Congress
that the Teller resolution originated.
Such demands az are accredited to the
War Department would be tantamount
TO n determination to settle them itself.
The truth probably Is that these demands
are only demands which the extreme ex-
panslonists would like TO have the ad-
ministration make.

NO MORE ROOM.
Bath Iron works Must Move From
That City.

Bath, February 9.--The Tires says edi;
toriaIly: The visit OF the Hyde Brothers
to Portland Is signal for the people Oh
Bath to wake up, for while, II the Hydes
desire 70 establish branch OF the bath
iron Works in Portland or farther west,
&c will not mean to Bath the loss OF the
battIeship or the big cruiser,or anything
else that there is room enough for In the
yard In this city: still 1t Will mean the
loss of a lot Of additional work for which
Bath would get the preference II the Bath
yards were big enough to hold 1t.
We are assured by Messrs. Hyde that
the present situation Is this: All the
space In the B. l. yard will be hllsd by
the battle ship and cruiser, ana as tnere
ars several more contracts pending more
yard room 10 absolutely necessary. Thus
far the Messrs Houghton on the south
of the Iron Works, and the Maine Gen.
trial on the north have declined TO sell
any land. Naturally, therefore, the Hydes
are entertaining propositions from other
people, and among others they have Oh
course received one from Portland, whioh
10 always aldt for a good thing.
There Is a fine plant ct their dlsposai
there for reasonable amount, with an
old dry dock near by, which could be
modernized and enlarged, and the steam
er lines running. and TO run into Port
land promise let Of repair work. 1t is
not surprising that the Iron Works ofic-
inls should inv sstiRate an offer like this.
But they do net want to go to Portland
or anywhere else. They want TO keep
their whols plant right In Bath They
deem it essential, however, that 1t
should be continuous. II the increment
must be separate from the main plant.
tney-ssy that freight. repair work and
other considerations would make 1t de-
siratls for than to locate the branch
far Their west than In some other spot on
the Kennebec. continuous plant on
the contrary, would outweigh all the ad-
yantages OF distant branch, and there
woul1 be none.
This 10 the state of the case, and we
are not fearful OF the results We are
confident that the citizens, IL they choose,
may find satisfactory solution of this
problem TO offer to the Iron Works, or
that the individuals concerned will for
the city's sake, Sc II to the Iron Works.
But II we can't keep the branch here,
we may be assured that the mother
plant will be the chief plant, and will
have the preference for construction
work.
