,ril 4.-The iron Age

NEW YORK, April 4.-The Iron Age
says:
The announcement of the organiza-
ton of the United States Steel Corpora
ton has brought some surprises, not
ably as to the absence of the directory
of a larger representation of the prin-
cIpal men in some of the constituent
concerns. The scope of the new con-
Germ is now being enlarged, mor par
ticularly through the acquisition of ad-
ditional ore properties. The Oliver
sixth of the Oliver Iron Mining Com
pany, no controlled 10y the Carnegie
Steel Company, has been added; the
Aragon, with a product of 400, 900 tons,
has been purchased, and an option has
been secured on the Cleveland-Cliffs
Company, the most extensive and valu-
able of the outside concerns, with
their transportation interests and their
charcoal furnaces. 1t is a fact, too,
that negotiations are pending for the
purchase of some of the large steel
plants which still linger in single
glory.
The iron markets are very strong
throughout. The demand in every di-
rection proves to be enormous, and
there is no doubt but it has, for the
present, at least, outrun the active
capacity, great though it be. Pig iron
for Steel purposes for prompt delivery
continues very scarce and billets are
simply unobtainable for early ship
ment. Premiums are the rule, not
alone for steel, but also for a large
variety of finished products, and heavy
orders are being placed.

BAR IRON MAKERS
Of the Eastern States Meet With the
View of Securing Better Prices.


NEW YORK, April About a
dozen men, representing the various
iron industries in the Eastern Bar Iron
Manufacturers Association, met to-day.
The session in this city was adjourned
from one held in Philadelphia last
week. This. association includes many
of the large furnaces and iron mills
outside of the United States Steel Cor
poration. Among the institutions repre-
scented were the Jones & Laughlin
Company, of Pittsburg; the Cambria
Steel and Iron Company. of Johns
town, Pa; the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany, of Steelton; the Lackawanna
Steel and Iron Company, of Scranton,
and others.
1t was stated tonight by a member
who was present that the reason for
the meeting was to discuss measures
looking toward the securing of higher
prices for bar iron. 1t was denied
that the meeting was to formulate a
plan of combination against the
United States Steel Company. A report
was current that some of the mills and
furnaces outside of the United States
Steel Corporation, and particularly
those in the Eastern Bar Iron Manufac-
turers' Association, which include mills
and furnaces in eastern Pennsylvania,
Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, New
York and New England, would organ
ize to compete with the new United
States Steel Corporation. Other ru-
mors were afloat relative to the alb
sorption of the smaller mills and fur
naces by the United States Steel Corpo-
ration. 1t was stated positively that
such firms as the Jones & Laughlin
Company and one or two others would
under no consideration join my syndi-
cate.
There will be another meeting of the
association tomorrow morning.

WHAT THE PEOPLE WILL
ALLOW EDWARD 70 SPEND.
THE COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO
CONSIDER THE NATTER FIXES
THE CIVIL LIST AT 100000.
THE PRIvY PURSE IS 10000.
MR.. LABOUCHERE SIGNS A MINOR
ITY REPORT OPPOSING
THE INCREASE.

LONDON, April 4.-The report of
the committee appointed to consider
changes in the civil list recommends
that the new civil list be fixed at about
947O,000, as follows:
Privy nurses, G110,O00; salaries of
household and retired allowances, G125,-
900; expenses of household, E193, 900;
works, 100000; royal bounty. aims
and special services, 913,000; and sun
dries, $4,000.
The report recommends an annuity
of ego, 900 to the Duke of Cornwall
and York, 10000 to the Duchess OF
Cornwall and York, and $4,000 to each
of the King daughters. The Queens
annuity, in the event of her surviving
the King, is increased to s7O, 900, and
an annuity of 10000 is provided fer
the Duchess of Cornwall and York
in the event of her surviving the Duke.
The proposals for the civil list show
a net increase of SCI, 900.
Mr.. Labouchere, the sole signatory
of the minority report, thinks that no
increase is necessary. In a ~piquant par
agraph he says:
THE committee did not deem it
within the scope of their inquiry to
consider whether a continuance of the
pomp of pride and ceremony of the
court is desirable. Suggestions have
been rife that the cost of living has
gone up among the weather. classes
since her late majesty assembled the
throne. This idea seems to be due to
the present ostentatious expenditure
of some of those who have suddenly
acquired large fortunes. But, your
committee does not believe the sover-
eign would desire to enter into monet
airy competition with such persons, or
encourage by his example such vain
glorious prodigality on the part of his
subjects"

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. April Al
a meeting OF the District Game and
Fish Protective Association, John !.
Cornwall, of Romney, Nv. Va. editor
OF the Hampshire Review, presented
the question of Potomac pollution. Mr..
Cornwall is interested in stopping 4
large number of tanneries along
streams tributary to the Potomac river
as well as many other streams in West
Virginia from emptying offensive and
poisonous liquids from their factories
into such streams. He cited a large
number of cases of this practice and
the pollution of the river waters there
by. resulting in the killing of fish as
well as rendering the water so pollut-
ed as to be absolutely unfit for human
use. He asked the support OF the local
gane organization financially and
otherwise in fighting the companies
guilty of such pollution. He said the
Pittsburg and Wheeling game organi-
cations had already pledged their ac-
tive support.
William Cornwall, his brother,
County Attorney, predicted that the
Leather Trust would make a bitter
fight against any attempt to prevent
them from using the river for the dis
posal of their waste.
John j.. Cornwall was made vice
president for West Virginia of the as

ures TO prevent further pollution OF

ANOTHER OHIO
BANK ATTACKED.
WATCHMAN OVERPOwERED, AND
BOUND AND GAGGED, AFTER
SHOOTING ONE THIEF.

CHARDON, O., April 4-The Citi-
zens bank here was robbed of s125
at an early hour this morning. After
exploding fifteen charges of dynamite
day broke and the men made their es-
cape, though a single door stood be-
tween them and $4,000.
At 1:30 a. M. Night Waterman Nor
man Pomeroy was standing in front of
the bank, when he saw two strangers ap-
preaching. When close enough, they
sprang upon him simultaneously and
bore him to the ground.
Two more 500 came to their assist
ance. Pomeroy struggled desperately,
getting to his feet time and again, only
to go down again under the weight Of
numbers. He thrashed the four about
on the sidewalk, and then out into the
muddy street. Finally he got his right
arm free and drew his revolver.
At the discharge one of his asSail-
ants sprang back with a yell of rage,
his lett arm hanging limp as though
broken. The mex moment Pomeroy
lost consciousness from the effects of
a violent blow on the head. When he
recovered he found himself in the bank
building, bound hand and foot and a
gag in his mouth. He lay there a wit
ness to all the operations.
At each explosion the robbers re-
tired to places of safety, Pomeroy ly-
inu IN on avnOcoJ nloao ond NO aff6n-
ton was paid to him except that the
man with the broken arm occasionally
gave him a kick in the ribs as he
passed.
The robbers were a long time getting
into the vault. They gathered up the
loose coin lying about and then went
at the strong box. They exploded sew
eral charges but could not force it.
Through it all the people of the town
slept. The gang finally escaped on a
hand a towards gainesville, xleav-
ing Pomeroy bound and gagged on the
floor.
Two of the five men implicated in
the bank robbery were arrested at Will
loughby, this afternoon, and taken to
jail at Chardon. They gave fictitious
names and registered as John Doe. A
bundle of the banks checks, some old
coins and others articles were found
on the men. These articles were iden-
titled by Cashier Smith.
The banks safe. which was a mod
ern one, was twisted into a mass of
scrap iron by the force of the dyna-
mite. Banks throughout the STATE
have been warned against negotiat-
ing any of Inc gtOlen checks. The
robbers were in town all day Wednes-
day, probably getting a survey of the
surroundings.
The two robbers who were captured
at W~illoughby were On their way TO
Cleveland. The remaining three of the
gang were traced nearly to gainesville,
where they are supposed to have sep
arated and gone East.
