NO STEEL TRUST. At Least Schwab Says fie Doesn't! know of Any. GIVES K:S IDEAS ON THE TARIFF. | President of the United Steel Corpo- | ration Before the Commission?His Couipany Contro's Eight Others. jd Washington I). C.. Special.?Charles M.. Schwab. president of the United j States Steel Co; poration, v.*as before the industrial commission. He said that the Uuited Slates Company con- ; trols eight companies by owning i their stock, and that while steps are ; taken to insure the good will and the j co-operation of ail these companies, : each one generally is left to conduct i business in its own way. As a rulo I the plan bad been to take in only companies which were not competitors. hut it was true that there were cases iu which two institutions of the came line were brought together, and in such cases the managers were expected to get together, in making their plans for sales. Enumerating the advantages of consolidation, Mr. : Schwab said they were found es- j pecially ;u transportation and man- , agement and in the utilization of all j the ores owned. In this connection. Mr. Schwab said that the United j States Company owns 80 per cent, of the Iron ore of the country and he j exp- csscd the opinion that these ore J deposits must constantly grow m ! vaiue, because limited. The com- ; pany makes from (15 to 75 per cent. . of the steel products of the North- I west. He also said that there had ! fcrcu no increase in the price of products since the organization of the United States Company, and that the ! tendency is toward lower, prices. Discussing the tariff. Mr. Schwab i expit rsed the opinion that in articles j of manufacture. in which labor docs i not enter as on important factor, the ] ta' iff might be removed, hut that in ! products into which labor enters I largely, such, fur instance, as tin i plate, it would be necessary either to | reduce wages, .or lose plate, if the j tariff wore removed. He thought 1 tra- except on the Pacific coast the j removal of the tariff would not interfere with the production of steel 1 rails and billets. The .Memphis Rcueloi? Memphis. Tenn..

The ,rrcat Confederate reunion held In Columbia last week was a pronounred success. Many prominent veterans were present. The attendance was the largest of any similar gathering yet held. The city of Columbia entertained the old soldiers royally. One of u-o most pleasant features of the oceas'o.i was the bestowing of the Souihorn ..f u?. l . ... 171 ilUI!LII tljJUIl Uflll'l ?U Hampton by the Daughters of the Confederacy. The presentation speech was made by Maj. Hait of York. The rcle! yell was called for anrl given with a will when the grand oh! hero arose to respond. Genera^ Hampton's speech of acceptance was as follows: My Co:: rades: I have indeed, as Maj. Hart has said, heard that Rebel yell often before and when I heard it from my own men. from the men whom I had the honor to command. I knew that we we?o safe. I think it is one of the British poets who says: "The kites know well The long league's swell That bids the Romans close.*' I might paraphrase this by saying: The Yankees knew well The long league's swell Tliat bids the Rebels close. My old heroes I hone it never will be forgotten. I hope it will be transmitted to your children and to your children's children?if not for them to use to tell how it used to ring from the forebts of Virginia, how it rang from Gettysburg to the west and how it always told of men who were willing to die for their southland, to die for truth, for honor, for manhood, for chivalry and for a great truth. I want you to try and teach to y^ur children and your children's children thar ours was not a lost cause. I want you to tell them that we were fighting for the right. George Washington was a rebel but Lee was not. When Great Hritain recognized the independence of this country she did not recognize the independence of the United Statt.s hut of each sovereign State as independent and sovereign. There were 13 independent and sovereign States. Tlicy funded this union and ey had the right to withdraw from it whenever they chose so to do. We were not successful?it is not given to mortals to command success. You have done more?you have deserved it. And now in your declining years and when mine have extended long bevard the period allotted to men, you, my old comrades, whom I loved, whom I trusted and with whom I felt as safe as 1 do now, 1 want to say to you all that all the love you have given me has been more than reciprocated; that ail that I have ever been able to do for you. for any one of yon, or for South Carolina, has been more than repaid by the honors yon have unsolicited conferred upon me and by this the crowning honor of my life. 1 may not see you again. I remember a story of an old bishop who when ready to retire from public life went to the abbot and said: "Father Abbot, an old man whose heart is broken by the storms of state is come to lay his weary bones among you." That is all I shall r.sk of South Carolina a fov.' feet of earth where r.iy kindred tor six generations are resting. And I am proud to say that one ClJlfO thov Or IliUl l? Ul rai ii (.ruvnuiwi. ... ? wore known in South Carolina has filled a bloody grave for South Carolina. (Applause.) I claim no credit for that. Every South Carolinian who was true was willing to give his hlood and his life (or the old State. J am sure ihr.t I was willing to do so. I think I can say so to you. mv men. that I never turned my back upon any of you when your face.* >.?u- turned toward the enemy. Tim greatest honor that 1 felt during the war was ome when 1 came upon a poor private who was dying. I stopped bus! le him and he said: ' ! am happy to di2 lighting and 1 am proud to dm fighting mumr you." I praj- that Hod wih blest you and will give you peace and prosperity, give it to the old State, give it to each one cf you and that you will go home and toil your kindred that you have seen your old comrade and that he thanks you for them. MA J. HART'S SPEECH. Maj. Hart said: Gen. Hampton: Yor have heard ?hat yell before. and you have? heard it in days v.hen it meent svnothii:.? more than a tribute of love and affection to you: when it meant terror to these who stood before it It is my pleasing pi iv.lege to present to you the assembled survivors of two immoital Confederate armies?the one of Northern Virginia, lej by the immortal Lee. and the other the army of Tennessee, which followed the peerless Joseph C. Johnson. These are the men who stand before you this evening, and who for four years earned on the point of their bright bavone-s the arrument. for southern independence and the prayer for liberity. j.uc well did they preform their m's. ice. 'IT.ere are standing before you this evening men who stood before the rvl-mruiihed cannon at Malv< rn Hill and at Cemetery Ridge. Those banners, some of which, we saw this morning, and some of which I think ar? here, have flashed J upon scores of battlefields before you j i tie groat lradcr. ' tee men here who followed Lie's great line of soldiorj teal wore neat ly al vays invincible, men who fought under Hill, and Early ,r.nd Jackson t?r I ibviniHgard. 1 see before in en teen w! o followed Joseph E. Johnson at I'ratJitlin. am; mho on a score of battlejolds Irom Lookout Mountain to Aliens, fotgh. Sherman and nearly always repulsed him. And (Jen. Hampton, there are men standing here who followed your iiiiuhtlv blade unoo a hundred battle "jelds; whoever you i?*?l?for, sir. >ou always led wherever there was figlitiug to be done. (Applause.) There arc men. here who were with you when you took command of the Confederate cavalry in 3St:!. and where .it Hawes shop you planted its dif.iiouDt.ed lines before the advancing mr:>s of Hardy and Sherman and wrenched Kiehmond front their grasp wi'i an i . ugniiieant little body of disnio iUtel cavalry. The excuse of these men then was that you had been reenforced. That was always their excuse; but, sir, there was nothing in it. And so, sir, when Sherman met you at Travalian Station, where the Enfield riile was in the grasp of the cavalrymen instead of the useless sabre, Sherman as he rode away from the field wrote to his chief that he was met by Hampton's cavalry, but that it was reenforced by Early' division of infantry, and that their combined forces were too great for him. But, sir, you know that you, with a force less than half as great as his own ,had i compelled him to retire from the field in utter disorder. And now, comrades, I present to you a chieftain worthy not only of your admiration ,for Gen. Hampton has always had that; not only of your love and affection, for he won that long long ago, but worthy of the nigncsi meed of praise that man can bestow upon his fellow man. 1 present to you one who has done more for South Carolina in peace, in war, and again in peace than all the orators and all the statesmen that ever came before or after. When in the dark days thaT followed disaster and defeat to our arms it was he who stands before you this evening, that lent that hope and coura e to the hosts of invincible manhood and womanhood?it' I may please y it?of South Carolina that carried v.-tory when defeat seemed almost ti e only result of the campaign. It I was due to the sagacious statesmanship and the true coinage of him that 1 i in a campaign which required greater courage than war. when South Carolinians fought for their liberty a sec? o.. ! tirue.^that a victory was gained. 'Ion. Hampton, those men come to pay their respects to you. They love you, they honpr you, and as yonder sua which is setting in the wesc marks the declining hours of a peerless day, so these battle-scarred heroes before i you, with their gray hair and wrinkled 1 faces, indicate the declining day of j dU*Tit.* Qltoh flC it 1Q KIT I I III; I 4 IUUI HUUU, 4'U*.

The most striking fact about the Lewis and ( lark oxp - ition planned for Portland in 1905 i- the- enthusiastic reception it has received from all our neighbor states, even a< far ea-t as Colorado and Montana. It is natural that every por- ! tion of this great Pacific Northwest Em- j pire should feel glad and proud at the opportunity of glorifying the centennial of its explora ti n. No undertaking ever , 1 had more kindly au-pices. About the I great events it is designed to celebrate ! there gather the heroic memory of Jeffer- ! son. tin- romance of early exploration, the j high tradition of our gallant army, recollection or* Indian mystery and terror, ' . the pioneer's legacy of daring and self- j denial, and the miracle of later develop- 1 mcnt.
