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.

Wrong Man Kiiied.
Atlintn Knorial.? A pnc<-ial to The
Journal from Birmingham. Ala., |
says: "An unknown negro, tho ig.it 1
to be James I3rc\vn. who is charg *d j
with assaulting Miss Delia Garrett, of j
k Sprin jfleld. was shot and killed by a |
number of white men near Leeds. 12
miles fro--i Birmingham, this morning.
The negro got off a Southern
train and the men at the depot noticing
a resemblance to Brown, call,*:!
on him to halt. The negro ran and
wa3 riddled with bullets. The coroner
called in the case is of the opinion
that the wrong man has been
killed."

large Attendance and Much Enthusiasm.
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

Portland's Exposition in 1905.
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. As the metropolis of the Columbia '
P.asin. Portland's place in the celebration |
gladly conceded by all. There is no rij
valry except as to who <-halI give ns the
I nio.-i loyal support. There is no jealousy
! except in the fear that one state may
i make a better showing here than another.
