Irrespective Of the conflicting rights

Of this ample depth Of water, weakened

said by those present that this was done
without any note or whistle Of warning
to the workmen engaged upon the piles

TlR PROpuCrION OF pIG IRON.
InterestIpg Statistics Received by III,
American Steel Association,

Interesting Statistics Received by the
American Steel Association,
PHILADELPHIA, July 2S,-The Amerl.
can Steel Association has received from
the manufactures complete statistics OF
the production OF all kinds OF pig iron
In the United States in the first six
months OF the present year; also com.
plete statistics Of the stocks OF unsold
pig iron In the hands OF manu-.
lecturers or their agents on
the 30th day OF June last and
Of the number OF furnaces In blast and
out Of blast at that date. The production
Of pig iron In the first six months OF 1880
was larger than in any preceding six
months in the history Of the American
iron trade. The stocks Of unsold pig iron
on the 30th OF June last were much larger
than at the close OF any preceding
similar period for q number OF years.
The total production Of pig iron In the
United States In the first six months OF
1880 amounted to 4,l07, 800 net tons OF
1000 pounds or 3,S67,767 gross tons OF
9,24O pounds. Our production in the
last six months Il 1888 was 3,SSG,0O4
tons, or 3,4GO,G46 gross tons. The pro.
duction In the first hall Of 1880 was
l0S, l2l gross tons more than in the sec.
ond hall Of 1888.
The increased production OF pig iron,
In the first half Of 1889 was wholly In
those kinds which arc used for general
foundry and mill purposes. There was
q decrease In the production OF Besse.
mer pig iron. Nearly all the lead.
ing pig iron producing States in.
creased their production oi Bessemer
pig iron. Nearly all the leading
pig iron producing States increased their
production in the first half OF 1880 as
compared with the last half OF 1888.
The following States show an increase:
Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Virginia, Alabama, West Virginia,
Tennessee, Ohio, Missouri, Oregon
and Washington Territory. The
following States show decrease:
Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, North
Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Kentucky,
Illinois, Michigan and Colorado. The
production in the South in the first hall
Of 1880 was much larger than in the last
hall OF 1888, but for this gain
Alabama is entitled 70 the most
credit. Among the Northern States
which have made great progress In
first half OF 1888 New York, New Jersey
and Ohio are more conspicuous, each
State making decided gain. 1t Is also
noteworthy that Pennsylvania gained
largely upon her large production In the
second half Of 1888. The decrease in
the production OF Illinois was only
nominal.
Tho stocks Of pig iron which were I'm.
sold in the hands Of manufacturers or
their agents on the S0th OF June last,
aud which were not intended for the
consumption Of the manufacturers,
amounted TO 502,934 gross tons
against 800, ,144 gross tons on the 9lst OF

Them. ..
Boise Cry, IDAHO, July 23.-The con'
vention yesterday agreed to limit the
State Indebtedness 10 one and one.hall
percentum OF the assessed value'of the
property. Towns and cities are not per.
mitted to incur Indebtedness above their
revenue, but to cooperate with capital
In making improvements. Some days
ago the committee on elections and suf.
frage made a majority aud minority
report; the former by the Republic
cans and the latter by the Demo.
Gratis. The majority would prevent
the vote Of the AIormns while II
would also allow the Legislature to make
other limits aud terms for preventing
the vote Of persons holding higher allie
glance 10 organizations they deem above
that OF the State and the United States
Government. The minority report is so
framed as TO cut or legislation In the
eyes Of anIi.AIormons, leaves a loop.hole
through which the Mormons may crawl
and secure the control Of the political
power. A proposition to take these
reports up In committee OF the whole
caused some fllibustering, which blocked
all business for some time. The matter
was finally settled by an agreement to
consider these reports Thursday.
Hundreds OF Mormons Withdrew last
fall to eyade the theltest oath and vote, and
makes the anti-Mormons anxious to give
the Legislature the power to make new
limits and restrictions that the Mormon
Church, now colonizing portion Of
Idaho, may not participate In politics.
This question has caused the chiel
trouble during the convention.
