The League Island Navy Yard.


REPRESENTATIVE RANDALL DENIES THE STATE
MENrs OF "A NAVAL OFFICER IN REFERENCE
TOIT.
The representatives from the Philadelphia
districts are indignant at the statements made
by navy officer in a published interview to
the effect that there is stability to the earth
upon which the League Island navy yard
stands. Mr.. Randall called a STAR reporters
attention to the interview, disputing the state
ments of the officer, and regretting that his
name had been withheld. Mr.. Randall said
that the reports of the officers who had exam
ined the yard and were gratifed to speak re-
garding it had all been favorable to it. He
called attention especially to an article by
Colonel Ludlow. formerly the engineer COM
missioner of the District, in which he says. as
to the League Island yard, that the earth would
support the heaviest structure. with these
conditions" he says, .'the site is almost an
ideal one for navy yard construction. =
The depth at which the gravel is reached is
precisely that required for the construction of
docks and basins. The dry dock foundation
for example. would rest upon the immovable
and incompressible gravel as ON the ribs of
the earth"

The Interstate Commerce Law.
TALKS WITH SENATOR DAWES AND president
INGALLS, on ITS FUTURE.

CHICAGO, Dec. 81. AT the eighty-second
regular meeting and dinner of the CONNER
cial club. of this city, Saturday night, the sub
ject of discussion was, THE interstate COM
merce law; its effect upon the railroads
ana the business of the country since il has
leen in operation" Among the speakers were
President Ingalls, Of the Big Four" road, and
Senator Dawes. Senator Dawes. when asked
by reporter to-day for the substance
of his speech. declined to give ii, as he under
stood the meeting to be secret one. He had
no hesitation, however. in expressing his views.
He said the question involved. to begin with,
the relation which ought to exist between the
shippers and the railroads and there ought never
be any Legislation which will bring antagonism.
International commerce has increased to
such an amazing extent that it has become
absolutely necessary to have common control
The difficulty is not in lack of power, but in
Its exercise. I'VE are too apt to judge the law
by its immediate, rather than by its ultimate,
effect on those who are passing judgment.
Massachusetts, complains bitterly of the long
and short haul clause: Chicago complains of
the prohibition of pooling, and shippers from
other localities complain that their expecta-
tiOns OF relief from unjust discrimination have
not been realized. There is no reasonable
ground to expect repeal of the law. There
is, on the other hand, a reason to expect an en-
largement of its scope and powers in the direc-
ton OF a clearer definition of the regulations
which Congress intends to impose on COM
merce between the states as well as better and
more effective means of securing conformity to
its provisions and the removal Of conflicting
and impractical clauses. which may have inad-
vertently crept into it,"
IT HAS COME TO STAY.
Mr.. ingalls,, of the Cincinnati. indianapolis.
st. Louis. and Chicago system. said in his opin-
ion the interstate law has come to stay. The
long and short haul clause does nothing more
than put into legal shape and make binding
the system under which the New York Central.
Pennsylvania and Lake Shore companies had
worked for years. Congress cannot be blamed
or get the law changed until the railways agree
among themselves. II there we're not wars and
through rates were maintained at fair sum
there would be no difficulty with the clause.
Managers had heretofore relied more on pools
than upon the integrity of their agreements.
II a company agrees to maintain rates and does
not do it, the competitor should have the right
to recover damages in the court. Mr. Ingalls,
concluded by saying that the problem rested
with managers or owners of railroads and could
not be solved in Legislative halls.

Not a Good Year for Iron.
THE CONSUMPTION FELL BELOW 1886 AND 1881
AND PRICES WERE Low.

THE CONSUMPTION FELL BELOW 1856 AND 1881
AND PRICES WERE Low.
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 31.-A summing MP of
the iron and steel trade of the United States
during 1888, as made by the Bulletin of the
American Iron and Steel association, shows that
this has not been particularly prosperous
year for the iron trade, and in many respects
fell below 1887 and 1886. The total production
of pig-iron during the year is estimated at
6,000, 900 tons and of Bessemer steel rails st
900 tons. The production Of bar iron and
plate and sheet iron did not vary much from
that OF 1885, while the production Of structural
iron and steel has been greater during 1888
than in 1886 or 1857. The consumption Of iron
and steel during this year has fallen below that
of the two preceding years. The total impor-
tations are estimated ut $50 900 gross tons. II
is believed that the consumption of pig-iron
has fallen about 100000 tons compared with
and 1857, the consumption Of steel rails about
600, 900 tons.
Prices during 1888 are shown to have de-
clined- this being presumably due. TO . cer-
tain extent, to the reaction in the building Of
new railroads, which set in In 1857. The prices
for bar-iron and nails were very low through
out the year. The price Of old iron raib ad-
vanced from e2l- Is In January to e2z IN De-
cember. Steel rails at the mills fell stondily
from So. 50 in January 70 90 in Deceubef.
The shipments from the Lake Superior mines
during the year BY lake and rai& we're over
k00o,0 90 groGs tons, an fncreass Of over l,25o.-
90 tons over the shipmeubof 1os7.
