Striking Statistics.

The very ill-informed newspaper which
ever and anon resumes its rigmarole of
free trade and British prosperity" is in
vited to con these figures, which we take
from the Wool Manmfacfmrers' Bulletin.
They show the value Of British exports of
cotton yarns and cloths during different
periods of five years each:

So 1t seems free trade does not insure
supremacy in the markets Of the world.
For, except its own provinces of India,
the foreign trade of England In cotton
goods shows II steady decrease. Still
more striking are the statistics of the
English silk trade. The values of i'm.

No election in New York for q dozen

Revolt I'm the Kansas PenttentIary.
LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Dec. IA
revolt took place in the women's ward at
the Penitentsry, which resulted seriously
to one of the guards who attempted
to quell it and caused the matrou and
her assistant to resign after it was over
While the women were being escorted
from the chapel to their cells, one of
them, Molle Brown, became very vio-
lent and in her rage attempted to assault
one of the guards.
After her escspade. she was placed in
the dark cell, and her companions made
demand upon Mr.. Ben Hanks, the
matron, that she release her. This was
refused, and the other women drove the
matron from the room, and, having Sc
cured couple of hatchets, began an
assault on the cell door behind which
the Brown woman was incarcerated.
Captain Hanks, the husband of the
matron, heard the noise from outside the
cell house, and rushing into the building
started into the room, where the infu-
rated women were striving to release
their companion. They beat him with
hatchets until he was fatally injured.
The women were locked up.

Death of Uric Whittig.

Uric Whittig died suddenly at Doves
vile, or Brooks Gap, Rockingham
county, Va, on the oath, aged about 80
years. Mr.. Whittig was a German by
birth, and came to this country when
quite a young man. He settled in
he had lived ever since, prospecting in
business and exerting much influence in
the section where he resided. He was a
merchant by calling, and also owned
extensive landed interests. In politics
he was Democrat of the old Jacksonian
school, and would listen to no argument
that was not in accord with his party re-
lations. 1t was his boast that Brock S Gap,
or Wittig's precinct was almost a unit
for the Democracy, until recently
polled 1o or 90 votes But these, he con
tended, were not raised in the Gap, but
were imported, and consequently he
could not be held responsible for their
sins He was earnest, dogmatic and en-
thusiastic in his political opinions, and
was active in work whenever an impor-
tant election was held. He was genial
companion, hospitable to strangers, and
very fond of the company of young peo-
pie, especially the young men of his own
political persuasion. He will be missed
by his party in that part of Rockingham.
He leaves a number of children and a
handsome estate

We thus have upward of five million
tons of iron ore imported into this coun-
try from abroad in one form or another,
in 1887. This is an amount equivalent
to one-half the total production of the
United States These are figures that
the workingmen engaged in the produc-
ton of iron ore in this country should
contemplate with great deal of serious
ness.
Suppose that to the production of iron
ore in this country were added the five
million of tons that in one form or an
other came into this country from abroad,
what would be it's effect, at least upon
the amount of labor the iron ore pro-
ducers would have, and what would be
the effect upon the prosperity of the iron
ore regions, not only North, but especial
ly in the South; not only upon the iron
ore producers and the iron ore mines
directly, but upon all classes of business,
from. agriculture up, with the state of
things that would be brought about by
this decreased demand for iron ore?

Death of Gen. Cameron.

Gen. Simon Cameron died at his home,
Donegal Springs, Lancaster county, Pa,
on the evening of the 26th, in the Dist
year of his age. His death was the result
ofan attack of paralysis which occurred
the Thursday previous, affecting the en-
tire right side, after which he did not
regain entire consciousness. This at
tack was preceded about six weeks ago,
by hemmorhages, which greatly pros
trated him. His was busy life. AS
printer, editor, banker, railroad con-
structor, iron manufacturer, adjutant
General of Pennsylvania, Secretary Of
War, Minister to Russia, and four times
elected United States Senator, he filled a
large space ip public affairs, and always
with credit to himself aRd each posi-
tion He was the father Of Hon. J. Don
Cameron, present United States Senator
from Pennsylvania, who was in Europe at
the time of his fathers death.

There is one point in connection with
the importations of iron ana steel that
very rarely presents itself to iron ore
producers, or to those Industries entire
ly dependent upon iron ore productions,
or that find a portion of their customers
among iron ore producers-that is, the
effect that the importation OF iron ore in
higher forms, as pig iron, bar iron and
steel rails, has in lessening the produc-
ton of iron ore in this country. For ex-
ample, there were imported into the
United States, in the calendar year 1887,
1877, SIT tons of Bessemer steel rails. On
the basis of 20 per cent loss from pig iron
to Bessemer steel this would require ILL.,
985 tons of pig iron and on the basis of a
yield of 80 per cent. in ore this would
represent 343, $40 tons of iron ore, an
amount equal to more than three times
the production of the entire State of
Georgia in 1887; but one-third less than
the total production of Virginia in the
same year; more than one-half the pro-
duction of Tennessee, and about half
the production of Alabama. 1t is a sum
about equal to the whole production of
Ohio, and but little less than the produc-
ton of the Vermillion Lake district in
Minnesota, and this, it is to be noted
covers only the ore represented in the
one item of steel rails.
OF pig iron and scrap iron there were
imported, in the calendar year 1887, $780,
$40 tons. 1t can safely be assumed that
these represented about 100000 tons of
ore. There is but one district in the
United States that produced more ore in
1887 than this amount, and that was the
Marquette district of Lake Superior
which produced 1 1886, 953 tons.
On the basis of two and one forth toI s
of ore in a ton of finished iron and steel,
and two tons in ton of pig iron, we
would have as the amount of ore repre-
sented in some of the mills of the United
States in 1887 the following amounts

Guided in Charleston, South Carolina

Mellow, practicing physician in that
city, shot and instantly killed Mr.. Daw-

The deed was committed in DR.. McDow's
office, where Mr.. Dawson had gone to
expostulate with Mellow for his atten-
ton to servant in his employ, and prob
ably to chastise him. Dawson was a
large, muscular man, and Mellow small

his death. The plea of self defence was
put up, and the jury, composed of five
white and seven colored men, sustained
the plea by acquitting the prisoner.
