New York, Jan, 23.-The United
States steel corporation and the Beth
lehem Steel company participated for
four years in an international pool in
armor plate which divided up the
business of neutral markets.
William e. Corey, former president
of the steel corporation, SO testified
at the hearings in the government S
suits to dissolve them under the
Sherman antitrust law. 1t was first
direct testimony which the govern
ment has been able to obtain as to
the existence of such pool,
Mr. Corey who resigned as head
of the steel corporation in 1910, was
unable to recall today that the armor
plate pool had existed until his mem.
ory had been refreshed by the read
ing of minutes of the Carnegie Steel
company, quoting him as advising
against joining with the ''armor com
bination" in the erection of an armol
plate plant in Japan. This was in
, 1902, shortly after the organization oi
: the steel corporation.
! The witness then testified that a
combination of armor plate manufac.
turers in England, France and Ger.
many and the United States had eX.
listed as late as 1904 or 1905"
The Carnegie Steel company and
u,
the American members of the combi,
nation, he said.
What was the agreement of those
in the pool?' asked Judge Jacob NJ
Dickinson. attorney for the govern
ment.
81 was not familiar with the de-
tails said Mr.. Corey, adding that
Colonel Millard Hunsicker, represen.
tative of the Carnegie company
abroad conducted the negotiations.
The witness testified that during
the existence of the agreement. the
American members had not to his
knowledge, attempted to compete
for armor plate either in England,
France or Germany.
Did the foreign firms bid for Unit
ed States government contracts?" he
! was asked.
Il believe that it is provided by
law that the United States govern.
ment contracts in armcr plate shall
be given only to American manufac-
,urers." was the reply
New York, Jan. 23.-At the after
noon session Judge Dickinson sought
to learn whether the steel corpora
ton mad ever co-operated with the
Bcssemer Pig Iron association toward
the maintenance of prices of pig iron
Corey said that he had ON one occas
iCn given orders to close down blast
furnaces of the Carnegie Steel com
Lany with the maintenance of prices

Il told J. T. Butler of the Besseme'
Pig Iron association that the steel
corporation proposed to close down
number of blast furnaces and tina,
it would be well for them to do the
same said Mr.. Corey.

SAYS new MINISTER

Constantinople, Jan. 25-The Turk
ish cabinet resigned today in conse-
uuence of public demonstrations and
protests against its action in acced'
ing to the wishes of the European
powers.
Mahmoud Shefket fasha, formerly
was minister has been appointed
grand vizier in place of kiamil Pasha.
Talaat Bey has been appointed min
lister of the interior, position he held
in a previous cabinet. In state
ment after his appointment he said:
THE change in the cabinet means
that we are going to have the national
honor or perish in the attempt.
We do not want continuation of
the war but we are determined TO
keep Adrianople at all costs. That
is an Indispensable condition Of
peace"
LOOKS LIKE PEACE.
London, Jan. 23.--The immediate
consequences of the decision OF the
Turkish Grand Council to conclude
peace with the Balkan allies will be
the sessation of hostilities between
Greece and Turkey and the surrender
of the Turkish fortresses of Adrano
pie. Janina and Scutari.
At all three fortresses the Turkish
garrisons will withdraw with the hon
ors of war.
Difficulties may arise concerning
the fate of Scutari. rs no one knows
TO whom it is to be surrendered,
whether to the Montenegrins to a pro-
yisional Albanian government or to
the representatives OF the powers.
King Nicholas, of Montenegro, insists
be must enter Scutari at the head of
reign of his family in Montenegro is
doomed as he, contrary to the advice
OF his generals refused to try to take
Scutari by storm at the beginning of
the war in order to evade the certain
heavy losses which s'Ifs small army
would have suffered. He preferred
the temporizing policy of laying siege
to the fortress, and should Scutari
for this reason be lost to the Monte
negrins. he alone would be considered
responsible.
CAUSES ALARM.
London, Jan 23.--Diplomats here
declare that they expect to hear that
armed action engineered by the com
mittee of young Turks preceded the
fall of the Turkish cabinet The alb
sence of details as to the sudden
change in the situation in CONSTANT
nople has created grave apprehen-
sions
ST. Petersburg, Jan. 23.-Austria
Hungary and Russia are in full accord
Oh the subject of the future boundar-
!es of Albania, according to an author
ative announcement here today. The
main reason for the military tention
displayed here has thus been remov
ci. No steps, however, have yet been
taken to reduce the army to its nor
nal footing, as Russia intends to
await the initiative of Austria-Hun
gary.
The better feeling was indicated by
jumps ranging from four to fifteen

here on the liner Corovado from Ha.
vana. He returns as a presidential
candidate.
A vast throng gathered to cheer
Diaz, but he delayed his disembarka-
ton in compliance with request ta-
ken to the Corcovado by the gunboat
Zaragoza. This was sent by General
Huerta, who asked Diaz not to land
until troops had been placed to pre-
vent disorder.
After Diaz had waited on the Cor
covado several hours he sent word
ashore that he was going to land.
General Manuel Vidaurrazaga, private
secretary to Secretary of War Blan-
quet, went out to the steamer and
urged Diaz not to land, telling him
that his appearance would be the sig.
nal for dangerous rioting.
1t was reported that when Vidaurra-

warrant for the arrest of Diaz, to be
used in case the latter insisted on
