PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2o.--Present-
Ing huge array OF facts 70 prove that
II was not organized to create . mo-
nopoly or stifie competition. and that
az has endeayored to refrain from do
Ing either OF these things, the United
States Steel corporation today hled
ito brief answering the governments
dissolution suit In the federal court
here.
The brief alleges that the American
Steel 3 Wire Co., the National Tube
Co.. the American Bridge Co.. the
American Tin Plate Co., the American
Steel Hoop Co., and the American
Sheet Steel Co.-corporations that
we're absorbed In the formation Of
the steel corporation--were not In
competition with one another to any
appreciable extent. What competition
did exist In companies taken over by
the steel corporation. It 10 alleged, was
between the Carnegie Steel Co. and
the Federal Steel Co. And In this
case the brief further asserts. the
competition was restricted to only
part OF their products.
To prove that the corporation now
10 not q monopoly. as alleged. the
brief states that In 1901 the steel cor
poration's proportion of the country's
total production OF all finished pro-
ducts Of iron and steel was only SOL
per cent. Since the PROPORTION has
been reduced to 457 per cent Of the
country's production for all the mar
kets Of the world. and to 400 per
cent OF the total production for the
domestic market.
AS to the extent or control of the
business involved in the ore supply
acquired by the corporation, II IL
shown that the steel corporations ore
constituted only 90 per cent Of the to-
tai amount Of ore In the ranges OF
the Lake Superior district which were
known in 1901. and constituted at
present only SO per cent OF the ore
contained In the Lake Superior
ranges not known.
The brief at some length goes into
the origin and development Of the
steel Industry to prove that the form
ing Of the steel corporation was but
q natural and normal development
from existing trade and foreign condi-
tons, and that II In no way was or
ganixed to create O monopoly.
At dinner in 1900. the brief re-
cites, Charles M. Schwab delivered an
address on the future of the steel In
dustry, dwelling on the advantages to
be derived from specialization and
large scale production. He asserted
that by such means could large ex-
port business be created. J. p. Nor

interested and had Schwab detail his
plan TO him.

Similar Condition Has Not Existed in
Great Britain Since Days of Amer

at Fever Heat.

The governments military precau-
tions to preserve order In Ulster have
precipitated crisis without parallel
In the history Of the British army.
Rather than be placed In position
where they might be called upon to
act against the Ulster covenanters.
numbers of officers have resigned
their commissions
Whilesthe war Office refuses to say
how many have resigned, popular be.
lief Is that the number of withdraw
als has crippled the whole military
organization In Ireland and prevented
carrying out the orders for moving
several large bodies Of troops.
The Marquis of Londonderry, an
Ulster leader, said that nothing Of the
sort had occurred In the British army
since the days Of the American rev0-
luton.
Public curiosity is at fever heat
over the question Of how the govern
ment is to deal with the resigna-
tions. The liberal sentiment Is that
the officers should be court -martialed.
Many conservatives agree that the
situation amounts to civil war, and
that the officers should have liberty
to choose which faction they should
ally themselves with.

ELECTRIC LINE
Capitalists Plan Great Inter
urban Road
RAPID TRANSPORTATION
Proposed Road Would Traverse the
Richest Sections of Three States
Florida, Georgia and Tennessee
Jax Capital Interested.

Capitalists from Georgia and Ten
nessee have been in Jacksonville, il
Is reported, comforting with local
people upon the proposition of build
ing a great electric interurban line
between Chattanooga, Tenn, and
Jacksonville. The new road would
touch Atlanta, Macon, Cordele and
other large cities between the two
terminals, and would open UP the
country to hourly transportation.
The most modern cars, Ii is plan
ned, win be used on this line. 1t is
proposed to put ON sleeping coaches
for the night travel such as are used
on some Of the interurban roads in
Indiana. The line is to be built
through the richest section Of the
three states.
Freight or express cars are also in
cluded in the equipment of the pro-
posed road. This means that the
company is planning to carry all man
ner of freight from one point to an
other along the line. These express
trains would be run every two or
three hours, while the passenger
service will be operated upon a twen-
ty-fiye or thirty minute schedule. :
Several different styles Of trains
are to be operated, l. e., locals, ex-
press and specials. The local trains
will stop to take on and let off pas
sengers at all cities, towns and cross
road stations. The fast express trains
Will make faster time and stop only in
the larger cities. These are to be
used by through passengers, of which
the capitalists believe there will be a
large number. The specials would be
those trains for special parties max
ing special trips from one city to an
other.

CRISIS is AT HAND.
Torreon Battle Turning Point In
Mexican Revolt.

NhCAtG1n NGVVl&s
The battle Of Torreon viii be the
turning point In the Mexican revolu-
ton, In the opinion OF high adminis-
tration officials at Washington. 1t is
believed that within few days a
battle Will have been fought which
will indicate clearly the relative
strength OF the constitutionalist
cause and the Huerta government.
The outcome is expected to inf1u-
ence the American policy to con-
siderable extent.
Ot1cials did not commit them
selves as to the proposals reported to
have been made to John Lind at Vera
Cruz by Sencr Portillo y Rojas, Mexi-
can minister of foreign affairs. The
Washington government Is willing to
listen to any new peace plan, but as
yet definite information is lacking as
to what General Huerta's object may
have been in sending the cabinet Of
fcer to see Mr.. Lind.
The presence In Vera Cruz at this
time Of Charge O'Shaughnessy and
Charge H0hler, OF the United States
embassy and British legation, re-
spectively, In official circles at Wash
lngton is taken to mean that the
British government is cooperating
with the United States in efforts to
find a peaceful settlement.
