PLAN A FOUNDRY MERGER
To Form u Trust to Control Male
able Iron.

Milwaukee, WIS.,, Aug. 25.-The Sentinel
says:
The United States Steel corporation Is
trying to effect combination Of all the
malleable iron foundries of the country.
1t has made overtures and has been ne
gotiating with the Northwestern Mallea-
BILE Iron company Of Milwaukee, the
largest institution Of Its kind in the
United States. Whether or not this con-
Germ will enter the merger Is not known.
President Frederick w. SILVER Of the
company said:
"Our concern has been approached by
eastern capitalists who have for more
than q year been trying to effect q mer-
ger Of all the malleable iron foundries in
the country. While ours IL the largest In
the United States, l have never been able
to see at all how such q combination
could be beneficial. If we could be bene-
fited there certainly could be no objec-
ton to our joining It, No option has
been given the proposed combination"
It IL understood the Wisconsin Mallea-
BILE Iron company has been approached In
a like manner, and that 1t stands upon
the matter the same as the Northwestern
company.
Should the deal go through an immense
industry would be closely linked to the
United States Steel corporation.

A POPULAR NEWS DLALER.

Patronized by kings, Princes, Noble.

King Edward once paid a sovereign
for paper, though his hunger for
news can hardly have been desperate,
says the st. James Gazette. The news
vendor was Davy Stephens, the famil-
lar figure on Kingstown pier, who had
sold papers to passengers landing In
Ireland for half century. Lord Rose
berry has also given "Davy" sover-

Queen OF Roumania was equally gener-

gave Davy a handful Of French cop
pers for his papers!
The famous newsman has grown to
be familiar with his great customers.
and his wit Is never unappreciated. The
Prince Of Wales, who gave Davy half
a sovereign, was more amused than an
noyed when Davy reminded him that
he was only half a sovereign himself"
The Duke of Edinburgh was less ex-
travagant; he gave the newsman q
three-penny bit for his paper, which
Davy did not mind, seeing that an ex-
cited and ultra-loyal Irishwoman
bought it from him for ten shillings.
Mr.. Gladstone once paid him five shil-
lings for copy Of Punch, which Davy
received as gratefully as the sovereigns
Of the richer men. Mr.. Morley, too, be-
longs to Davy's ''silver" friends, and
the witty newsman is on excellent
terms with the ex-Chief Secretary. 1t
was from Davy that Mr., Morley more
than once learned his first Irish news

occasioned sincere regret throughout

Of Minister WI and the appointment

In Washington for some time. Some
time ago Mr.. WI was selected to as
sist in the publications Of the laws of

known that 1t was only question of
time till he would leave. Besides be-
ing an accomplished diplomat, Mr.. WI
Is lawyer Of ability and was chosen
for the important work because Of his
special fitness for such duty.
Minister WI has long been one of the
most popular diplomats at the national
capital. During the dark days of the
Boxer insurrection in China he became
especially prominent. His diplomacy
