STEEL MAKING.
THE BASIC PROCESS TO BE
ADOPTED IN CHATTANOOGA.
FUTURE OF SOUTHERN FURNACES.
A Fine Quality of Steel TO be Made
From Southern Iron and Char
coaI-Ameriean Iron Being
Shipped Abroad.

Captain H. S. Chamberlain, presi-
dent of the Roane Iron company, of
Chattanooga, Tenn, and Colonel A.
n. Shook, general manager of the
lately organized Southern Iron COM
pany, which purchased and consoli
dated nearly all of the charcoal fur
naces of the South with view of
making steel rails at it's plant at
Chattanooga, formerly owned by the
Roane Iron company. have just
returned to Chattanooga from trip
to England and Germany, where they
went to investigate the Basic process
OF steel making with view of adopt
ing the same here if practicable and
possible. They are both satisfied that
fine quality of steel can be made
from Southern charcoal and iron, and
work will commence Immediately
after the holidays remodeling the
mill here. The mill is now a Besse-
mer plant. Two open-hearth Sic
mems Martin furnaces will be put
in at once with capacity OF 100 tons
daily, and the new mill will be ready
for operation in six months, being the
first basic steel plant on a large scale
in the United States. Captain Cham
berlain, in an interview with an Asso-
ciated Press reporter, expressed the
greatest confidence in the future of
Southern furnaces.
England has about reached the
maximum of production" said he,
land iron is now selling at furnaces
of the old country at an advance OF
what Southern furnaces would con-
slider good prices. There is now, and
l think will be for year or two,
large demand for English iron from
Germany and other countries Of the
old world, and for the first time
in many years almost the entire out
put of English furnaces is being used
on the other side Of the great waters.
For this reason we have the home mar
ket now for the first time for ourselves.
The great increase in railroad build
ing and demands for all kinds Of
structural iron has created fine mar
ket, and Southern irons are getting in
for their full share.
AS al lnQcdGlOu Vi tle SllSC1 VI VIC
withdrawal of English furnaces from
America, the Roane Iron company is
now shipping from lockwood fur.
naces, near Chattanooga, and
from Citico furnace, in this city,
large quantity of iron to
Canada, and though a duty OF
81 to $3.50 is paid, We are selling
profitably. Inquiries are coming in
also from South America and Mexico
territories, which hitherto American
iron makers had but little chance to
serve.
81 am. therefore, satisfied that the
outlook is bright for Southern iron:
The Southern Iron company's steel
plant in Chattanooga, which will be
one Of the most important industrial
concerns in the South, will be able to
make steel in a minimum of cost, thus
opening the way for the greatest in
dustria1 development known here
since the war"
Published interviews with Captain
Chamberlain have greatly encouraged
the iron makers in this district. BAL

A Noble Prayer.

WASHINGTON, December 9.-HoUsE.
In his prayer this morning the chap
lain said: Almighty God, the land
is full of sorrow; Rachael weeping
for her children and will not be COM
forted, because they are not, fathers.
for their first born, the pride and
stay of their future years. Children,
their parents and millions sit cold in
the atmosphere OF death, mourning
the departure from earth of a man
dear to their hearts, who had reached
a term OF four score years. Grant
that the solemn mystery Of death, the
common charge Of us all, the meaning
Of which all must know ere long, may
soften and hallow our hearts and feel
ings into noble gentleness OF golden
text, uttered by most conspicuous
man of whom tenderness OF heart
made greatness of station and charac-
ter more illustrious. Charity for all;
malice for none"

QUEBEC, December 9.-All the no.
tells, boarding houses and places OF
questionable resort in this city have
been searched by detectives and re-
porters within the last few days for
the Washington defaulter, Silcott, and
his companion, Eugene Theibault, but
without success. The detectives never
knew q person answering Herminie
Silcott's description and Of that name,
but there was one Eugene Theibault
here two or three years ago who fairly
answers the description given. The
police here think that it was either
the avowed intention Of Silcott to
come to Quebec as blind, or that
they have stayed off at a point fur,
ther west and have not yet reached
Quebec.

LISBON, December cit is stated
that the greater portion of the higher
officers of the Brazilian army were
monarchists, and joined the republi-
can minority in the recent outbreak
under the belief that the demon
stration was to be merely against the
ministers and Lot against the empire.
They became aware of the true facts
only when they had gone too far to
retrace their steps. When the revolu-
ton started the students armed them
selves with revolvers, rifles andfwords
and threatened to kill the emperor
and his family. A boat manned by
students patrolled the harbor, it
being their intention to intercept the
emperor while he was embarking and
do him injury.
