MOVEMENT ON TO
 OPPOSE BIG TRUST
INDEPENDENT SHEET AND TIN PLATE INTERESTS PREPARING TO GET PROPERTIES WHICH GIVE THEM SAFE POSITION.

Pittsburg, January S.-The Chronicle Telegraph will say:
 The result of the secret meeting Of fn- dependent sheet and tin plate interests, held here last week, has just leaked out. At the time 1t was announced that the meeting was to consider plans for pro- lection on manufacturing concerns, out side of the United States Steel corpora ton. A. r. Baumgarten, secretary of the association, suggested a plan which If adopted would make the members en- tirely independent as to raw material. It Is proposed to control all the independent interests, secure ore lands, coking and steam coal properties, build blast fur nnces and large Bessemer plant to fur nish steel to the finishing mills of the consolidation,
 The project WAS looked upon with favor and committee was appointed to pre- pare plans for the proposed consolidation and data as to the erection of the nec- essary blast furnaces and steel plants and to secure options on available coal and ore properties.
 J. A. Andrews, president of the New port Rolling Mill company Newport, Ky, was made chairman of the committee. When 1t Is ready to report another meet ing Of the independent tin plate and sheet plants of the country will be called to consider plans for the enterprise.

TERRoRs IN A JANIToRs' UNION.
1t Will Have Fines, for instance, for Tenants Returning Minus Keys.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
 The janitors have formed a union. 1t was incorporated at Albany last week. The flat dwcllers have much annoyed the janitors of late by showing signs of insisting upon their rights, and the re- suit Is an organization by means of which the janitors think they will be better able to keep their victims in sunjection.
 It Is understood that the new union does not aim at the landlords at all. The ten ants are the persons who will be obliged to toe the mark. The janitors individ- ua1ly have long had prejudice against children even more severe than that pos sessed blythe landlords. It is reported that, when the union is thoroughly or ganized, 0 system of fines will be pro- vided for all flat dwelers the proceeds or which shall go toward establishing pension fund for all superannuated jan itors Janitors will be regarded, under the new system, as superannuated at thirty years of age. Some critics con slider them superannuated at much earlier age-say the iron age
 Hereafter, according to the report, there will be fines for all tenants re- turning without their latch keys when the outer door has been closed, fines for ell tenants possessing a plano, fines for every musical instrument larger than jews harp and fines for every tenant ad- dressing the jantor except by letter. Dogs must be chloroformed To all rents must be added per cent. for the janitor.
 Among the projects which the union, 1t Is said. has in mind is a clubhouse at which the janitors may spend the many hours when they are off duty. Here will be a gymnasium, where the janitorial systems may be built up to such a con- ditions of invincibility that no tenant, even though he be Jeffries, will have the hardihood to register a complaint about the absence of hot water or the in- conspicuousness of the steam heat. There will be a number of walking dele gates appointed whose business shall be to see that no janitor ever speaks politely to a tenant. These jobs, it is admitted, will be sinecures but 1t is pointed out that no union would be regarded as complete without walking delegates.
 It is expected that the advantages of such an organization will so appeal to janitors that within a year there will not be such thing in New York as a non union janitor.

pr. Lorenz Says "Au RevoIr."

N. Y. Letter in Chicago Inter Ocean.
 To all the friends In this city whom Dr. Lorenz met today. and to whom he said that he was to board tonight the steam ship that Is to take him across the Atlan- tic, he preferred to say ''au revoir" rath- CT than sood-by. And he explained his preference for his parting salutat tion by saying that he expected to return to the United States late next summer or carly in the fall, and to remain here some months.
 Dr. Lorenz returns to Europe after a season every moment of the waking hours of which has been occupied either with his professional undertakings or with social entertainment. But he said this morning that he was even in better health than when he came to the United States, and that he had not suffered from any illness, not even so slight an irrita- tion as cold, and that he attributed his good health in part to his intense mental occupation, in part to the magni- f1cently cordial reception of him by the American people. and then with a funny smile, added and in part because since I have been here I have not drunk much of any strong liquors, but I have smoked a little.
 pr. Lorenz finished his banking busi- ness this morning. and took occasion when it was ended to say that he was misunderstood by those who reported him as saying that in four. months practice at Vienna his fees were four times the remuneration he had received in the United States. His total earnings in this country were a little in excess of $40.oO0. and with this money he bought bills of exchange upon London. It has been ap- parent to those who have been in inti- mate association with Dr. Lorenz since he has been in the United States that while he understands the value in money of his professional services, yet his great est qualification was in the sense of pro- fessional victories.

tccntinued from First Paae) without touching the sacred white ele- phant of the Dingley tariff act" He said a remarkable situation was presented by some officials obeying the order, while others ignored it. He did not bring the matter to the attention of the senate, he said, as a reflection on the adminis- tration, but to show that the secretary of the treasury coincded with the sec retary' of the navy and with the Presi- dent in the idea that the introduction of foreign coal is the remedy of relief from the terrible condition that now prevails in the United States.
 Ar. Hale entered Into defense of MT. Dinsley, saying the statement attrib- uted to him is radically opposed to all his utterances, and involved tho charge of insincerity.
 Mir. Tillman interrupted that he did not consider there had been reflection on MT. Dingley. The policy of his party, he said, had been exemplined in the re- ciprocity treaty negotiated and pending, and nothing but the selfish greed of the people whose protection is reduced, he said, prevents the ratification of the pend ing treaties.
 None of us," said MT. Hale, referring to the alleged interview with MT Dingley. would want our sincerity impughed by somebody live years after our death" If senators in sympathy with MT. Vest, he said, have no stronger evidence than this effort to ransack the past, turn up the grave and bring up an alleged conversa- tion that has slept for five years in or der to show insncerity, they are hard put. He characterized the party who report ed the alleged interview as . falsifer. '.
 No Charge Against Character.
 MT. Tillman, replying to Mir. Hale, said there was no accusation against Mir. Dingley's character or sincerity. The sen- ators who sympathized with the senator from Missouri were not hard up for ar suments on the trust question.
 This Is certainly put forward now as the enc argument" retorted MT. Hale
 MT. Tillman said that congress had been assembled only three weeks. and I've have hardly gotten over our Christmas trunks yet"
 The debate was cut short by MT. Quay, Pennsylvania. demanding the regular or
