A JO9BERS COMBINE.
Hardware Merchants Unite
ina Combination Capital
lied at $4,000, 900
(By the Associated Press.)

New York. April 9.-Authoritative an
great hardware jobbing interests of the
country, in a combination capitalized at
$120,000000 will be made by the Iron
Age in its current issue tomorrow. The
consolidation embraces the Simmons
Hardware Company of st. Louis; Bind
ley Hardware Company, of Pittsburg;
William Bingham Company of Cleveland :;
Supplee Hardware Company, of Phila-
delphia Pacific Hardware and Steel
Company of San Francisco Marshall
Wells Hardware Company, of Duluth
Bigelow & Bows Company, of Boston
Van Camp Hardware and Iron Company,
of Indianapolis; George Tritch Hardware
Company, of Denver; Janney, Semple,
Hill e. Company, Minneapolis, and forty
others houses, representing nearly every
important trade center of the country.
Negotiations are still pending with other
houses, and 1t is expected there will be
further accessions to the number al
ready named in the combination. The
Iron Age will say:
Several names have been suggested
for the consolidation, the International
Hardware Company, National Hardware
and Metal Company, International Hard
ware and Metal Company. 1t is supposed
that the officials shall be as follows:
"E. C. Simmons, President; John Bind
ley, Vice-President, and W. D. Simmons,
Chairman of the Executive Committee.
There will be board of directors, con-
ssting of from twenty-five to thirty per-
sons, representing the different sections
of the country. There will also be an
executive committee of nine.
THE financing of the company is at
tended to by Moore and Schley of New
York, and George B. Hill G. Company, of
Pittsburg. 1t is intended to incorporate
under the laws of New Jersey with a
capital of 1920, 000, 000-$40, 900 900 prefer
red and $4,000, 900 common stock. The
preferred will be a six per cent cumula-
tive stock, preferred both for liquida-
ton and dividends. The general head
quarters for buying and selling and
transportation of goods will be in St.
Louis. The Eastern headquarters will
be in New York city.
The principle of home rule will be
recognized in connection with the local
houses, who will make their own sellicg
prices, except so far as this may inter-
ieie Win the puyinS department or the
expressed wishes of the manufacturers,
which it will be the policy of the COM
pany to respect. Each house will be
held responsible for the results of its
business. and if these are not satisfac-
tory the house will be closed up.
AS at present constituted, it is esti-
mated by the company that they en-
brace something like two-thirds of the
distributing efficiency of the jobbing
trade of the country in the hardware
line. They are content that the other
third should remain competitors, as it is
not intended to monopolize the jobbing
business"

proposed by the Democratic members ito
establish a stable and autonomous gov
eminent in the Philippines" and then
by like party vote ordered a favorable
report on the measure prepared by the

Representative Patterson, Democrat, of
Tennessee, offered an amendment to the
majority bill, providing for the abolition
of slavery throughout the islands, and
for the annulment of the treaty made
between General Bates and the Sultan
