came up before Judge Cox on Friday

rising, the prisoner said, 81 ask your hon
or to postpone the sentence IS long as
possible.
Judge Cox again told Guiteau to stand
up, and asked il he had anything to say
why sentence should rot now be passed
upon him.
The prisoner then arose, pale but with
lips compressed, and desperate deter
mination stamped upon his features. In
allow and deliberate tone he began, but
soon his manner became wild and yio-
ent, and pounding npon the table, he
himself of the following har-
ingue: 81 am not guilty of the charge

In the census table just published,
SLOWING the production of pig-iron and
steel, Great Britain stands first, the
United States second, Germany third,
and France fourth in the list of coun-
tries. In 1890 we produced but about
half AS much iron as Great Britain, but
we produced more Bessemer steel and
hut little less of all kinds of steel than
that country. The British yield was
775o.O0O tons of iron, 1,044,000 OF Besse-
mer and 1,415.OOO of all kinds of steel.
while the American production reached
q sa5 600 tons of iron, 1,O74,OO0 Of Bes-
semer and 1,247.OOO of all kinds of steel.
The worlds production of pig iron in
1880 is given at II, 7,6ss,OOO gross tons and
of steel at 4S4S, 900 gross tons. OF these
amounts the United States produced
TWENTY-FIVE per cent. of iron and twen-
tv.nine Der cent of steel. At this rate
of nropress it will not be many years
until this country will outstrip all 9th
ers as an iron and steel producer.
