Rumor That Boer Leader Has Asked
Consideration.
WAR DISCUSSED In COMMONS
Mr.. Brodrick Tells of Increase in
Typhoid Fever.
PURC Asses OF HOR S E s

LONDON. February 1s.-There is an un-
confirmed rumor here today that President
Kruger has drafted a personal letter TO
King Edward setting forth the Boer case
and asking for his majesty's consideration.
Questions in the house of commons today
regarding the war in South Africa did little
toward really enlghtening the situation In
South Africa The secretary of state for
war; Mr.. Brodrick, gave a statement of the
ever-increasing number of cases Of typhoid
fever among the troops, thus partially ac-
counting for the long casualty lists. In Oc-
tober there were 500 cases and ninety-eight
deaths, in November 1.2l3 cases and POI
deaths and in December 1866 cases and 236
deaths. The total since the beginning Of
the war to December is 49, 101 cases and
4, 4,233 deaths.
Lord Stanley, the financial secretary to
the war office. impaired the Information
that the government had purchased for
the troops In South Africa 1895 horses in
Great Britain and 71.S74 elsewhere. The
English and Irish horses proved. the best
and the Americans next. OF the latter IL
900 were purchased, while Canada supplied
$3.50.
John Redmond, chairman of the united
Irish parliamentary party, took exception
to the oath taken by King Edward in the
house of lords. He declared that inasmuch
as the Catholic religion was described as
idolatrous and superstitious, he would op-
pose the granting of the kings salary.
A. j. Balfour the government leader, ad.
mitted he was no admirer of the form OF
words but hoped the practical question of
their repetition was disposed of for many
wears come.

COMPANY AND GOVERNMENT.
SantO Domingo Controversy BefOr.
the State Department.

The controversy between the government
of San Domingo and the Santo Domingo
Improvement Company of New York came
to the attention of the State Department to-
day through the appearance there of Dr.
Henriquez y Cavajal, the minister OF
foreign affairs Of the little republic Fec
Leonte Vasquez. the charge d affaires of
San Domingo, and Andrejulo X. Aybar of
San Domingo. They were accompanied by
MIR. Perry Allen. the counsellor of the
Dominican legation. These gentlemen made
argument for more than an hour before
Acting Secretary Hill. to show that the
Santo Domingo Improvement Company had
violated various provisions of the contract
made between itself and the Dominican gov
ernment. and thus had justified the latter
in terminating the arrangement as 1t had.
Secretary Hill informed the San Domingans
at the conclusion of the hearing, that in the
estimation of the State Department, the
case presented features showing that there
was equity in the claims of b1th sides. and
he felt convinced that If they were animat-
ed by a common desire to agree upon an
equitable basis for settlement OF their
differences the way was open. He there
fore strongly advised the Dominicans to put
themselves in communication with the I'M
provement company's representatives. and
seek to reach an agreement. They promised

OFFICIAL STATEMENT READY.
Big Steel Deal Soon to Be Formally
-. - AunOunCeI.

PITTSBURG. Pa, February 1s.-A DELI
mite statement to the effect that negotia-
ticns for the amalgamation Of the Carnegie
company and the other steel companies
heretofore mentioned in the proposed CON-
bine have been satisfactorily completed has
been prepared and is expected before the
middle Of this week. H. C. Frick spent
Sunday at home and returned to New York
last night, intending to remain until The
deal is finally closed.
It is said that the Carnegie minority Is
playing a watchful, waiting game and
Henry Phipps. jr., and Mr.. Frick are rep
resenting, at the scene Of the negotiations,
the Is per cent held by the minority. This
stock Is held by Mr.. Phipps. Mr.. Frick. F.
r F. Lovejoy. John Walker. the Wilson
heirs, George Megrew, and the heirs OF
Henry M. Curry. Ex-Secretary A. M. More
land Is also regarded as being with the
minority In that he is not directly under
the control of Mr.. Carnegie. No plan OF
action has been mapped out, as the NIL
nority has so far received assurances OF
fair and equitable treatment. Should the
reverse take place, however. the stockhold-
ers representing 25 per cent Of the $32O.OOO,-
600 of stock and bonds will stand together
and fight.
All talk of entering suits to block the con-
summation Of the combination Is denied

Stocks We're Weak and Irregular on
Change Today.

Statement the Cause.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

special Dlspatch TO 1he Evening Star
NEW YORK, February 1S.-The condi-
tion Of the local banks as disclosed in last
Saturdays bank statement attracted con-
siderable selling movement in today's stock
market. Nervousness and irregularity were
apparent from the start and involuntary
liquidation was in progress by midday.
Overloaded accounts were first to CO. and
later in the day mixed selling in consider
able volume followed The snap Is out OF
the market, and some new incentive will
be necessary if 1t is to be restored.
The steel deal may be announced tomor-
row or Wednesday, and that event may
help. the market, but even this is not as
sured. The common stocks of the compa-
nies to be absorbed would seem to have
little chance to improve in the consoHda-
ton since they were, for the most part
Issued as a bonus originally. Sales of the
common stocks and buying of the preferred
shares was one Of the features Of the day.
The latter issues have known value,
and will probably fare well In the new en-
terprise. Federal Steel Is believed to oc
cupy a rather more secure position than its
neighbors, and the buying was consequent
ly largely directed to the preference shares
Of that company. Unless the announce
ment Of the deal contains much that Is
new in detail it should have little immedi-
ate influence.
The latest rumor relative to the control
of Atchison passing to Pennsylvania finds
believers in conservative circles. and the
Atchison issues are a trifie stronger than
any of the transcontinental shares.
Burlington was in good demand again.
and the street expects to hear something
of favorable nature in the very near fu
ture. either an important traffic agreement
with an eastern trunk line or the sale of
the control of the entire Burlington system
to prominent eastern line.
In the present condition of the local
banks there is little attention given to new
deals. since the question of their influ-
ence on the money market has come rather
unpleasantly to the front. The small sur
plus holdings of the banks are expected to
disappear, or nearly SO, in financing trans
actions already under way
The new undertakings will consequently
demand considerable manipulation in order
to force any demand. Today's tightening of
accounts has helped the situation rather
than otherwise, but a declining market
rarely recovers without an effort The holi-
days at the end Of the week will also op-
crate in restricting business.
The American Smelling injunction was
received with suspicion by the street, the
short interest covered rather freely with
the idea that the consolidation would go
through during the week Realizing in
cession from early prices, but the buying
was good on the decline.
The strike in Colorado and the calling
out Of the troops caused unusual weakness
in Colorado Fuel common.
The tone of the market at the close was
decidedly mixed, but some substantial rail-
lies were reflected from the low level.
