AMERICAS IRON TRADE.
A YEAR OF GREAT ACTIVITY AND
FAIR PROSPERITY.

The Production in all the Leading
Branches of the Manufacture of Iron
and Steel the Largest in the Colln-
try's History The Prospects for
This Year.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Sin its review Of
the American iron trade for the year 1887,
General Manager James NJ. Swank. of the
American Iron and Steel Association, says:
"The year which has just closed was one Of
great activity and fair prosperity for the
iron trade of this country. The production
in leading branches of the manufacture of
iron and steel, was the largest in our history
larger than in the remarkable year 1885,
when all previous achievements were left
far behind. We estimate our production OF
pig iron in 1887 at 6,250,OO0 gross tons, or
about 100000 tons more than in 1886. Our
production of Bessemer steels In 1897 was
about $4,000 gross tons, or about SIC, 900
tons more than in 1886.
ADDITIONAL CONSUMPTION
I'm addition to our large production Of
pig iron in 1887, we also consumed about
100000 tons of imported pig iron and about
10000 tons of imported steel rails Our
imports of iron and steel in other forms IN
1887 were also very large, the total i'm
portations of iron and steel in all forms
aggregating nearly 800, 900 tons Our pro-
duction of iron ore in 1887 was about l /, ,000,-
600 gross tons, and our imports in
the same year amounted TO about
l,2OO,OOO. In 1856 we produced about TO-,
100000 gross tons of iron ore and imported
| ,039, 4S3 tons. The impetus which had
been given to the domestic iron trade in the
closing months of 1885, and which had been
so much accelerated in 1886, that year closed
with excited markets, was further empha-
sized in the first six months of 1857, during
which period the demand for all forms OF
iron and steel was active and constant.
PRICES ADVANCED.
"The prices of steel rails advanced during
these six months, but other prices generally
declined. After the middle of the year ali
of the prices fell off in sympathywith the gen.
eral conviction that the remarkable activity
of the preceding year and half could not
much longer be maintained, especially the
demand for steel rails for new railroads
Notwithstanding the decline in the demand
and prices which has been noted, 1T would
not be correct to assume that the New Year
opens with general depression in our
iron and steel industries The shrinkage in
the demand is most marked in steel rails,
and is next noticeable in pig iron, bar iron
and iron pipe. But the consumption Of pig
iron for miscellaneous purposes Is still very
large. A quantity of steel rails will be
needed in 1883 for renewals and extensions,
as well as for a large mileage of new road
which must he built. The bridge works of
the country, foundries, machine shops, car
builders and car wheel manufacturers, To-
comotive builders and many other consum-
ers of iron and steel are still very busy"

SECRETS OF THE SENATE.
MR.. ALDRICH WILL TRY TO SWEEP
AWAY THE VEIL.

Ha will Propose that Nothing Done in
Executive Session Shall be Regarded
as Secret Unless an Injunction of Sc
crecv be Placed on It-Some of the
good Effects.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Senator Aldrich,
Chairman of the Senate Committee on
Rules. has prepared a resolution, which he
will offer in few days, and ask to have re-
ferred to his committee, proposing certain
amendments in the rules governing execu-
tive sessions. The proposed changes are
simple in character, but will, the Senator
thinks. add materially to the comfort of the
Senators, and at the same time provide a
legitimate way for the press and public,
which it serves, to get timely information
of the Senate's action upon such matters as
1t is proper to make known. He proposes
in regard to nominations referred to COM
rnittees, that the report of the committee,
whether favorable or adverse, and the
action of the Senate shall not be regarded as
secrets, and with respect to other matters,
treaties, ETC., that the subject of debate and
the action of the Senate shall not be re-
esrded as secrets, unless, by resolution, an
subject or such action.
THE EFFECT.
This in effect, should the resolution be
adopted, will make public such portions of
the Senate journal as are not covered by
special injunction of secrecy, but will leave
to Senators the privilege of discussing and
voting upon all executive matters with
their present freedom from public observa-
ton and knowledge. Mr.. Aldrich believes
the proposed amendments will afford the
Senators a means of correcting many
erroneous staten a-ts which get abroad re-
specting exec atlve session proceedings. will
give the pubdc information of that which
the public ha, a right to know, and will
have a tendency to Ike p secret that which it
is thought expedient for diplomatic or
other reasons, to conceal The existing
rules are based upon the theory that it is
necessary to keep ev@:ything secret, be-
cause, half doze times, perhaps, in a ses-
sion, subjects come up which should not be
publicly me at4oned. Mr.. Aldrich favors
the opposite theory that everything should
be public except when there is some affirm
ative reason for secrecy. He is personally
in favor of M Platt's open session resolu-
ton, but recognizing the possibility that
majority of the Senate may not be found to
support it, he proposes a measure which
seems likely to commend itself to many Sen
ators who would not have open doors.

CHICAGO AND THE JUBILEE.
The Gift of the Diocese Consisted OF q
Purse of $4,000.

CHICAGO, Jan 3.-Pope Leo Kills
golden jubilee was celebrated in Chicago
yesterday and Sunday at all the Roman
Catholic churches. The s,rvices most i'm
posing were those held by Archbishop
Feehan at the Cathedral of the Holy Name
The cathedral was packed with
brilliant audience, and the Arch
bishop preached sermon on
papacy, making special reference to the life
and influence of Pope Leo XIII, and the
homage paid him recently by all the nations
of the earth irrespective of religious belief
Special services and eulogies Of the Pope
were held in all the other churches of the
Chicago diocese by order of the Archbishop.
The gift of the Chicago diocese to the H Iy
Father consisted of a purse of $40, 200, which
was sent to Rome together with hearty con-
gratulations
LEO ADDRESSES THE PILGRIMS.
ROME, Jan. 3.-The Pope addressed the
Pilgrims to-day in the presence Of the whole
court. After expressing joy at the evidence
of the cohesion of the Catholics, the Pope
said: "You have not given faith TO those
who, with the voice of calumny try to per-
suade you that the Pope is sn enemy of
Italy. The Popes have always been the great
est friends and benefactors of Italy. You.
like ourselves, are convinced that the church
by her holy mission ought to be independent
OF whatsoever terrestrl IL authority (crleS
Of "Yes," "Yes'D that the church is divine
institution, and that to try to reduce its in
terests to a question of the laws of Italy
can only be the result Of most deplorable
blindness
The address was greeted with enthusiastic
applause, which continued several minutes.
At the conclusion all present filed past the
Pope and received his blessing.
AN INTERVIEW WITH FRENoHMEE.
The Pope to-day granted an interview to
Eugene Veuillot, the distinguished French
writer and his son. After speaking in
praise of their efforts in the Catholic cause,
his holiness expressed regret at the present
sad position of France, but said he was con-
fident that she would rise again to her old
place in christendom, and exercise unbound
ed influence in the world The Pope then
referred to the state Of Europe He la
mented the revolutionary spirit fermentihg
in many States, and said he was preparing
two encylicals dealing with socialism, license
of the press and the great power of uni
versal suffrage, which he considered terri
bly, menacing He also intended, he said, to
define certain points upon which good
Catholics have a confused and dangerous
idea The land and Irish questions are be-
lieyed to be the subjects to which he al
luded.
The Pope gives his jubilee money to st.
Peters treasury to be expended in propa
gandism. Artistic articles will be placed in
the museum Of the Vatican, and be objects
of worship in the vestry of St. Peters All
the rest will be given to hospitals.

CLEARING AWAY THE CLOUDS.
Publication OF the Forgeries Expected
to Have Good Effect.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Jan. 3.-The ,JonrnoL
de st. Petersburg says the publication by the
ReichSanzeiger, of Berlin, of forged docu-
ments recently sent to the Car throws
light upon an incident which for time
has agitated European public opinion.
There is nothing, the Journal continues,
like truth to dissipate suspicion, which
doubt engenders and obscurity sustains.
The incident now closed, there is less for
calumnies, spread with the object of dis
turbing international relations, to feed
upon. One cannot too fully recognize the
straightforwardness with which the mis-
trust was met, and the honesty of purpose
shown IN diSpelling it.
The budget for 1888 shows a small surplus.
The imperial family will leave the Cats
chena palace at the end of this week and
will come to ST. Petersburg to reside for
ten weeks. Special measures have been
taken to protect the Car. Several hun
dred special detectives watch the streets
along which the Car is likely to pass. The
coming fetes at the palace promise to be
unusually brilliant.
The Nora FTemyd says: "ln vi5w Of the
statements published in the Berlin Reich
Sd1lzei0er, concerning the forged documents
sent to the Gar, the whole question shou d
be regarded as closed. If the statements
contained in the documents were genuine
Germany would have well incurred re-
proach for duplicity and dishonesty. The
fact that the authors have not
been discovered does not matter
at present. but we attach import
ance to the Reichsdnsciger words as
indicating the value of the documents if
they were genuine, These words show the
necessity of good, honest relations between
Germany and Russia. This is a welcome
result of the Car giving an audience to
Prince Bismarck on the occasion of his re-
cent visit to Berlin, and of his putting direct
questions to the German Chancellor, a course
which the diplomats usually avoid

from the trustees by Henry S. Ives & Co.,
and by him disposed of on his own or his

other surprise to large holders of stock was
