THE IRON TRADE.
Present State of the Market and Outlook
for the Future.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.
The threatened influx of Southern iron is
not likely to prove very serious, on account of
the fact that Pennsylvania makers will reduce
prices to offset the slight advantages now
claimed for the Southern iron. Alabama iron
can be sold at l6al7, for forge and Is to 10
for foundry Virginia irons are selling about
80 cents below the corresponding grades of
Lehigh irons, but the present activity is due
to accidental causes, viz: To the cessation If
demand in the West and the consequent accu-
mutation Of stock at the South. Paints have
been able to find a temporary outlet in this
market In all other branches of the iron
trade no increased business will be show but
in order To prevent an undue accumulation Of
stocks, the reported production of anthracite
this year, in rouud numbers, q million tons

LAND SYNDICATE
Said to be Hungering and Thirsting for
Indian Lands.

BILLINGS, Mont, Nov. 26
1t is reported that certain Indian agents
and army officers are parties to a conspiracy
to get control of Indian lands for a wealthy
syndicate. An interpreter admits having
received $1,000 for services in furthering the
scheme bv talking it up among the Indians
The story goes that the syndicate has proposed
to lease 100000 acres of land for ten years
paying an annual rental of one cent an acre.
The lands they are after. lie in the Yellow
stone Valley, and are very fertile. They
are accessible to railroads and are of great
value TO farmers, being capable of sustaining
100000 people. The company wants the
lands only for speculative purposes, and it is
thought to be Its purpose to get title to the
territory through the medium of lease. The
people are very indignant at the exposures
and will make an effort to have the scheme
defeated in Congress if the lease is consum-
mated.

THE CHINESE WAR.

Foo Chow, Nov. l6.
The Chinese government has notified for
eigners that Kinpai Channel is protected with
torpedoes excepting passage of one hundred
feet in width.
One thousand troopAare actively srrayed
here. Foreigners are rigidly excluded from
the arsenal, but it is generally believed that
the reason for this exclusion is the Chinese
desire to conceal the extent of damage
wrought by the French bombardment and the
subsequent stoppsge Of work. The Chinese
higher classes are bent on fighting and are
doing all in their power to discourage the
overtures of peace.

La Reforme publishes a letter from a
Belgian at Stanley Falls. He complains of
the danger to which Europeans are subjected
because of the hostile attitude of the natives,
and reports the discovery of plot to poison
Europeans at LeopOldville. The African
International Association, he says, refuses
the services of porters to conduct Belgians
who wish to leave its service to the coast He
asks that his name be kept secret as he fears
the Association will wreak their vengeance
upon those who tell the truth concerning the
state of things in the Congo. The letter
further says that the Association is in state
of open war with the natives between Lutib
and Many Angra. The villages have been
burned, and many of the natives have been
taken captive.

Italy Protests Against Refusal 10 Admit
Steamers to Port.

GALVESTON, Nov. 26.
The Italian minister has hand,d govern
ment note Of protest against refusal to
alIow the steamer Perseo to enter port, stating
that not only the interests of the country but
the principles Of humanity are seriously com
promised by refusing admittance to many
emigrants. Government replied declaring it
impossible to allow the steamer to anchor.
The public health and supreme resolutions
are before everything else. These however,
seem to have been moderated by the naviga-
ton company. Government also states that
they are disposed to proceed in like manner
with all ships whose early arrival may be
announced.
Papers state that two bodies and two mat
tresses have been found of Punta, India.
They are said to be from the steamer Matte
Blinzzo. The papers criticize the action OF
the Italian minister.

THE CHICAGO SENATORSHIP.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.
The grand jury remained in session until
midnight, counting ballots in the second pre-.
cinct of the eighteenth ward. Though Judge
Blodgett authorized counting of the congres
sional vote only, the senatorial vote was also
counted. There was made strange and
startling discovery that Brand, dem, had
received 49S votes or "a votes more and Lee
man, rep, 1876 or "a votes less than he was
credited with on the face of the returns.
Nearly or quite 200 ballots were found to be
straight republican with the exception only
that Brands name was substituted for that
of Leman. This ticket was a fac-simile of
straight republican and pastors were used to
only limited extent This, as the demo-
Gratis claim, practically disposes of the cry OF
fraud. Brand will undoubtedly take his
seat. The legislature is thus democratic on
joint ballot with majority of two and the
next senator from Illinois will be demo-

ton as to the alleged frauds in the second
precinct of the 18th ward of this city this
morning. According to the face of the re-
turns Brand. dem received plurality over
Leman, rep, for State senator of over 200
votes. The jury called before it large
number of persons, all of who declared pos
itively they voted republican tickets with the
name of Leman printed on them. Nearly
300 have been summoned who claim to have
voted the republican ticket, while the ballots
show that Lemsn received less than 200
votes.
The Brand-Leman case was reached by the
board of State canvassers. at Springfield, this
morning, and sffidavits were submitted show
ing Leman received 420 votes.
After hearing additional evidence the jury
adjourned till FRIDAY. Local papers will
tomorrow state that there is good authority
tor the assertions tnat the grand jury found
indictments against three judges and two
clerks of the election in the I'd precinct of
the 10th ward on charge of making fraudulent
returns.
