10 Forming Company to Compete With

Pittsburg, June 22.-Charles M.

States Steel corporation, is about to
form a new combination of steel, coal
and iron ore interests which it is pro-
posed to make most formidable riv-
al to the United States Steel corpor.
alton. The Bethlehem plant will be
the principal steel concern in the new
combination, with some ten small
ones, while there will be vast areas
OF coal and iron ore lands and many
miles of railroads.
The coal acreage involved is said
to be about 100000; the steel plants
are said to number ten, and more than
20 miles of railroad tapping the var.
tOus mines and coke ovens are to be
included. The combination will be ef-
fected under New Jersey charter.
Great fields of low grade Fennsylvan-
ia iron ore are included in the coal
tracts under lease and control of very
heavy deposits in the northwest is
also said to have been engaged.
The plan has cropped out through
the operations of some men who have
been working to secure control of the
holdings of independent coal compan-
les in Cambria and Indiana counties.
Practically the entire southwestern
section of the latter county, including
about $4,000 acres, is said to be con-
trolled by men who will be in the new
combination.

The Peace Represe tatives.

Washington, June 20.-Russia and
Japan have tentatively decided each
to appoint three plenipotentiaries to
represent them in the Washington
conference. M. Nelidoff, it is under
stood, has already accepted the chair
manship of the Russian mission and
is being consulted about the selection
of his associates, but Washington has
not yet heard whether Marquis Ito's
health will permit him to come as the
ranking Japanese plenipotentiary.
The belief here is that Field Marshal
Yamagata will be designated in Ito's
place should the marquis be unable
to accept. It Is expected that the con-
ference will convene here about the
middle Of August.
Pending the official announcement
of the plenipotentiaries little progress
toward the arrangement Of an armis-
tice is being had on either side. ia
pan will not take the initiative in re-
questing an armistice. 1t is improb-
able, however. that she would insist
on Russia making the request. 1t is
generally expected that when the mis-
sions have been announced the pres
ident will suggest to the belligerents
the advisability of limited truce, and
that this suggestion will be accepted.
Instructions will then go to Linevitch
and Oyama to sign the armistice.

FRIENDSHIP A PRETENsE.
Russia Has No Love for the United
States.

st Petersburg, June 2O.-In certain
quarters here envious jealousy of the
United States is ill-concealed. The
entire collapse of the negotiations was
predicted yesterday, and there was al
most open exultation at what was de-
clared to be a rebuff to Roosevelt"
In peace circles gloomy faces were
drawn at the report that Russia would
insist upon The Hague, but thanks to
the personal attitude of the emperor
and to the well-put representations
of Ambassador Meyer, the threatened
diplomatic mountain was reduced TO
a mole hill. over which negotiations
can now proceed rapidly. The Gazette,
which is known as a mouthpiece Of
the foreign office, declares that moth
ing is yet known regarding Japan's
terms. 1t intimates that Russia may
not balk at an indemnity significantly
stating that international control of
the Chinese eastern railroad is pos
silbe as a means of insuring payment
of an indemnity. 1t says that the
plenipotentiaries will have special
powers and may be authorized to con-
clude peace.
Although the way has thus far been
smooth for a peace conference, the
operations in Manchuria appear to be

COMING
TOWAREHOUSE
THE BALING SEASON is NOW ON
IN EARNEST AT LEWIS.
TOWN..

Wool is now coming in to the local
warehouse at lively rate, and all
the machinery, including the electric
presses, is working splendidly. Some
of the wool has already been baled
out, including the clip of Robert Sui
linger, and it is all found to be about
two per cent heavier than last year,
while the growth and staple are all
that was expected.
Among the other clips SO far receiv-
ed are those of Oscar Stephens, Geo.
Wright, William Fergus 4 Sons, Louis
Mauland and ]. l.. Rabstaadt, the lat
ter clip coming from the vicinity Of
Big TIMBER. All arrangements have
been made for handling the wool quick
ly, carefully and honestly, three fac.
tors that are highly appreciated by
the wool growers.
Coming in at a Lively Rate.
While the business at the warehouse
has only fairly opened, the wool is be-
ginning to come in at a lively rate,
and from this time on the shipments
will be almost continuous. Shearing
is in progress all over the county, and
no time will be lost in getting the
clips to the warehouse and baled out
The wool market continues firm, al
though there is no trading just at this
time. The few large clips held over
when the scramble was at its height
are for sale hut the DriCe asked Is
the same as that which the buyers
declined to give few weeks ago. II
these clips are not taken in quickly
the growers will ship them to the
market themselves.
Further reports as to lambing show
that the average Of lambs saved all
over the county has been phenominal
ly high.
