Combination of Manufac- turers Nearing Completion. CONTROLS MOST OF OUTPUT Avowed Object of the Amalgamation Is to Combat American and German Competition, Which Continues to Increase Yeariy. London, Ju : ,—A great ccmbina- tlon of fron aed steel wanutacturers, similar to those existing in the United States and Germany, Is In course ot formation tn Great Lritain with the avowed obiecct of cowmbatting Amer- fcan and German ecowpetition, which 13 increasing yearly. Niae big com- panies, hended by Vickers' Sons & Maxim and including Johun Brown & Co., which recently was amalgamated with the Harland & Woltf company, have absorbed thirty-six previously in dependent concerns, which will give them coutrol, it is estimated, of about 90 per cent ot the steel produced i Great Britain. The details of the combination have not yet been worked out, but it prob- ably will be based on the principle of | the German trust, involving the regu- lation of prices, adjustment ot the output to the demand and equal dis- tributlon of orders. What {s primar- ily atmed, it is asserted, is a combina- tlon strong enough not only to con- trol the trade of Great Britaln, but to “dominate the steel trade of the world.” The London representatives of the Ameri2an companies, however, do not anticlpate any material cut in their orders as a result of the move- ment. R The satisfactory progress with which_the negotlations are proceeding is largely due to Vickers’ Sons & Maxim, who succeeded in bringing to- gether several of the companies here- tofare thelr keenest competitors. FREIGHT RATES ADVANCED Roads Attain Object by Changes in Classification. Chicago, Ju « “—Freight rates in the territory between the Mississippl river and the Rocky mountains will be advanced 5 per cent by the action of the Western railrcads in raising the minimum on carload shipments and other changes In the classification. It has. not yet been determined to cancel many of the carload commodity tariffs, though a few of those whose usefulness has passed will be can- celied and the commodity rated ac- cording to classification. It is the in- tention to cancel all less than carload commodity rates, but as they were made to meet specia) conditions the shippers generally bhave not made any specific complaint. The call for the meeting of the Western classification committee at Cherlevoix, Mich., July 16, has been sent out. The docket contalns 425 subjects, many of which were rulings issued by F. O. Becker, chairman of the committee, since Jan. 15, 1907, and will be ratified by the committee. The most important of the subjects 18 to revise the minimum welghts, on which special committees have been at work. The new Western frelght classifica- tion will become effective Sept. 1, 1907.

New York, Juis ! .—Bonfires lit up many streets of this city during the night, especially on the Rast Side, but the occasion for them. was far from heing a festive one. They were fed by householders and janitors from the mounds of refuse lylng In the gutters by reason of the garbage wagon drivers’ strike. The smell from these hesps is perceptible everywhere, but fortunately the weather is cool-just at present or excessive discomfort would be suffered. The real reason for the strike, it appears, is not that the men want shorter hours and higher wages, but that they are dissatisfied with the su- perintendency of Deputy Commission- er of Streets Edwards. The strikers talk of calling out the ash cart drivers and street sweepers if their grievances are not remedied. If this threat is carrfed out the state of affairs will be rendered much worse. The sweep- ers number about 2,000, PROBE TELEGRAPH .TRUST Commissloner Smith Arranging . for Investigation.

The secretary was very em- phatic In his declaration that he had not received a single communication from Colonel Goethals showing in any way that he was dissatisfied or de- sired to end his connectlon with the work. “No Immediate change is contem- plated in the administration of affalrs on the isthmus,” continued the secre- tary, “and there has not been a single kick of any sort.

Bolge, 'Ida., July 1—The defense fin the Steunenberg murder trial be- gan the day’s session with a further attack on the tesfimony of Harry Or- chard and then presented testimony to. show that Jack Simpkins was oruelly treated in the Idaho “bullpen” and that union miners were whipped and driven from Cripple Creek. Dominick Flynn, who conducted a |- olgar store in Mullen, Ida.,, in 1899, swore that Orchard was in his store playlng poker the day that the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill was blown up and Pat McHale, who gave the occu- pation of barkeeper and said he gam- bled whenever he got & chance, swore that he sat in the game with Orchard, Frank Hongh, who testified to con- ditions in the Idaho “bullpen” and the treatment of Jack Simpkins, swore that Orchard told him at Wallace in the fall of 1905 that he had just come from Alaska, the first mentloned case of the defense of the supposed visit of Orchard to Alaska. Morris Fried- man, a former employe of the Pinker- iton detective agency, testified as to lthe methods of the Pinkerton agency in connection with the strikes in Colo- rado. * The trial proceedings began with the introduction of Dominick Flynn of Mullen, Ida., who testified that he was @& merchant. ‘Flynn declared that Harry Orchard, on April 29, 1899, the day of the explosion at the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill, was playing poker in his place. This was the sec- ond witness: toy testify that Orchard was playing poker in Mullen the day he says he helped light the fuses under the mill at Wardner, eight miles distant. The poker game lasted from noon until-4 p. m,, Flynn said. __Never Belonged to a Union. , Cross-examined by Senator Borah Flynn' declared he had.never been a member of the Western Federation of Miners or any other labor organiza- tion. He had known Orchard a year eand a half and the man often played poker at his place. The witness gave the names of several persons who were in the game the day of the ex- plosion. He never saw Orchard after that day. One of the men who played with Orchard was named Patrick Mc Hale Flynn said he had spoken to McHale about the matter since Or- chard’s arrest. MoHale; who ‘iz -a bartender in Mul- len, followed Flynn on the stand. He sald he played poker with Orchard in Flyun’s cigar store on April 29, 1899, and had never sesn the man since. Frank Hough, a member of the West- ern Federation-of Miners from Wal- lace, Ida., was in the “bullpen” in 1899 and was called to testify as to the conditions in the military prison. Hough said from 300 to 400 miners were crowded in the “bullpen” during the hot months of thé summer of 1898. One-quarter of the men were ill most of the time. The prison was guarded by colored troops of the reg- ular army. Hough sald he was now a painter and paperhanger. Sometimes he tends 'bar. He met Orchard at Wallace, Ida., in 1905. Orchard said he had Just come from Alaska. He also said that if it had not been for Steunen- berg he would have been a rich man. Witnesses Rapldly Disposed Of. Disposing of its witnesses in rapid succession the defense next called James A. Baker of Blocum, B. C., a miner and prospeotor. Baker has been a member of the Western Fed- eration of Miners since 1899 and from 1901 to 1905 Was a member of the ex- ecutive board for British Columbia. He was in Denver during a large part of the Cripple Creek strike and as- slsted in running the affalrs of the organization while Moyer and Hay- wood were in jail, Baker said he went to Cripple Creek in December, 1903, to establish a un- fon store. He was arrested. by the militla and taken before the com- manding officer. When he told-what his mission was the officer said they did not want any union stores in the district and advised him to fake the first train out of town. Something of a sensation was caused by the calling of the next wit- ness—Morris Friedman, who has writ- ten a book which he claims is an ex- pose of Pinkerton detective methods. Friedman sald he is now a newspa- per correspondent. He worked as a stenographer in the Pinkerton office in Denver during the Cripple Creek strike, doing particularly the work of James McParland, who has worked up the case against the Western Fed- eratlon of Miners in the present case. Friedman said he became thoroughly familiar with the office work * and methods: Asked as to the placing of Pinker- on operatives in unions Friedman said a man named Crane became sec: fretary of the Smeltermen’s union at Colorado City and was also chairman f the strike committee. Other op- jeratives who were connected with un- dons in Colorado were Joseph F. Gad: don, Charles H. Rhymer, George W. IRiddel], P, B. Bailey and Cummings Lutlow. oo UNREST IN ARMENIA.

Turkish Armenia, where much of the fighting between Mussulmans and Ar- menians has occurred, the Russian troops on the Turkish frontler have been heavily strengthened in order ta prevent the transmigration of Arme- nian refugees-and a spread,of the agl- -tation to Russian territory and’ also for the moral effect of the movement on the Turkish government. A repe- tition of the Armenfan massacres of 1896, when thousands of Armenian refugees crossed the frontier and set- tled in Southern Caucasus, is feared. The Russlan goverffment first.encour- aged the movement as a valuable in- dustrial and civilizing factor, but later it felt obliged to prohibit immigration, claiming that the rapid occupation of the Tartar lands by colonists was re- sponsible for the Armenian-Tartar racial warfare, which has since period- lcally drenched Southern Caucasus with blood. NEW JAPANESE GRIEVANCE Refused Privilege of Removing Intel- ligence Office Permits. San Francisco, I#s * | ),—The board of police commissloners has denled tho application of five Japanese for the privilege of renewing their permits to keep intelligence offices in this clty and refused two Japanese applicants | who desired to obtain new permits for the same business on the ground that the applicants were not citizens of the United States and that heretotore the policy of the board had been always to give the preference in these priv- lleges to citizens against those who are not and cannot become citizens. It had been urged on behalf of the pelitioners that they were entitled to the: privilege by virtue of the nrovi- sfons of the treaty, but the pollce com- mission contends that if such right does exist it is still subject to laws en- acted under the general police powers of the state concerning police and sanitary regulations. A refusal lo grant such permits fs not, according to tho construction of the board, a violation of the right to trade. President Hagerty, in giving the de- cision of the board, said that it was! the policy of thg board to grant such permits only to citizens of the United States and not to citizens of foreign countries and he further suggested|5() dens of wild animals that the refusal to grant these per- mits would open the way for a deter- minatton fn court of the extent of the rights of Japanese in. this respect un- der the treaty between the United States and Japan, should the appli- cants desire to take the matter into the courts.
