washington, Nov. 14.-More concern
is felt by the administration regarding
the general situation of affairs in China
than is understood by the American
people. In spite of the assurances
which Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, the
Chinese minister, gave in his speech
in Chicago Saturday night that his
government and its subjects were nat
urally most friendly inclined" toward
Americans and their interests, Sec
retary Root has deemed 1t advisable to
warn the authorities at Pekin against
further propaganda, such as that which
was observed during the boycott agi-
tation.

provinces, IN one of which, Kwan-

TWO BIG CONCERNS
 MAY BECOME ONE
Rumored Ala. Consolidated Will
 Acquire Pratt Consolidated
VAST GOAL PROPERTIES
1t is Said the Deal is Now 0n-5ush, HiIIman, Mccormack And Ramsay Are Now in
 New York.

It was reported in industrial and finan- cial circles yesterday that the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company and the Pratt Consolidated Coal company were about to be united While no details could be obtained here it seems to be un- derstood that the Alabama Consolidated, or the International Power company, through the Alabama Consolidated, Will acquire by purchase the Pratt Consolidat- ed.
 Col. T. G. Bush. president of the Ala bama Consolidated, and T. T. Hillman, u' B. Mccormack and Erskine Ramsay or ficers and managing stockholders of the Pratt. are in New York, and no one Tn Birmingham was able to make any au- thorized statement concerning the fu- mored deal, but a number or prominent men believe that the trade will be con summated this week.
 While the Pratt Consolidated Coal com pany is a comparatively new concern, it has developed it's extensive properties rap idly, and is now mining more coal than any company in the south. Its output for March was 100000 tons.
 The company holds in fee 66,0e0 acres or coal land. The authorized capital stock is $5,00OOOO in shares of $100 each, all of one class Of this capitalization, $S,6Oo,0OO is outstanding. A mortgage has been made to the Central Trust company of New York, trustee, to secure $5,00O,0O0 of per cent gold bonds of Sl00O each. of which $3.600 900 are outstanding. Mr. Hillman is president of the company. MT. Ramsay is vice president and MT. G. B. Me Cormack is chairman of the executive committee.
 The Alabama Consolidated is capitalized as follows: $1,25O,OOO preferred stock, s2,- 50o, 600 common, and $l,750O00 in bonds It owns 35,950 acres of coal land and much ore property It owns and operates three blast furnaces and is building new fur mace at Gadsden. It is believed by some persons here that interests connected with the Alabama Consolidated and the Pratt Consolidated have an option on the two Woodstock furnaces and the coke ovens at New Castle and 1t is surmised that if the Alabama and Pratt deal goes through the Woodstock properties will eventually be merged with the Alabama Consoli- dated.
