THE FAMOUS COLONEL LETTER.
Opinion of Experts Pronounce 1t a Clums,
Forgery of BirchalPs.

Opinion of Experts Pronounce 1t a Clumsy
Forgery of BirchalPs.
WOODSTOCK, ONT, October 31.-The
Colonel letter to Birchall is still the most
interesting topic here. The assertion that
experts have examined the letter and de-
clare that it was not written by Bircball is
not true. Regarding the matter of getting
the letter out of the Jail, everyone here
knows there would be DO trouble at all.
There have been no less than six officials
there since Birchall was convicted, and, be-
sides, nearly every newspaper man who has
come to town has been allowed to see him,
as we'll as clergymen, doctors and many 9TH
ers. Four out of every five who have had
the privilege of comparing the letter with
Birchall's writing declare that it could not
have been penned by any other hand than
the prisoners.
It is understood that Birchall's solicitors
will take steps to trace tine whereabouts of
the mysterious Colonel" In the mean
time the prisoner is hopeful and is indus
triously working at his autobiography.

GREAT INCREASE IN BESSEMER INGoTS.
The production of Bessemer steel ingots
or direct castings in the United States dur
ing 1890, including steel made by the Clapp-
GrIffiths and Robert-Bessemer processes,
amounted to 8, 8S7 ,039 tons OF 1000 pounds,
an increase OF 294 per cent over the produc-
tion of 9S5, ,2e8 tons in 1880.
In 1880 there were II completed works in
this country for the production of Bessemer
steel ingots or direct castings, which were
located in Illinois, Missouri, New York,
Ohio and Pennsylvania, while at the close
of 1890 the number of establishments con-
tanning Bessemer converters, including the
works prepared to manufacture Clapp-
Griffiths and Robert Bessemer steel had
increased to 50, located in Colorado, Illinois,
Indiana, Massachusetts,, Michigan, Mis-
souri,, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
Virginia and West Virginia. OF the pro-
duction of 985, POS tons of Bessemer steel
ingots or direct castings Of 1880. Pennsyl-
vania produced Sc per cent, Illinois, 26 per
cent, and New York and Ohio each over
per cent
PENNSYLVANIA IN THE LEAD.
OF the production of 3,s77, ,O39 tons of
Bessemer steel ingots or direct castings in
1890, including that made by the Clapp,
Grifiths and Robert Bessemer Steel Works.
Pennsylvania produced SO per cent, Illinois
% per cent, OHIO 10 per cent, West VIr-
ginia 8 per cent, New York over per cent
and Colorado, Massachusetts, and Michigan
each less than l per cent.
The Clapp-Griffiths and Robert Bessemer
processes were introduced into the United
States during the past decade, the former
from Great Britain in 1884, and the latter
from France in 1888. Both processes are
notifications of the ordinary Bessemer
method. but the converters employed are
nearly all of small capacity. The first steel
process was produced at Pittsburg, Pa,
March 25 1884.
RoBERT.BESsEMER EXPERIMENTS.
During 1890 seven works contained con-
verters for the production of steel by this
process, five of which were in operation in
that year, producing SO, 963 tons OF steel in
gots or direct castings. NOnew plants have
been erected since 1887 and none are now
under construction.
The first steel produced in this country
by the Robert Bessemer process was made
at experimental works at Springfield, O., in
September, 1888. During 1890 there were
six completed works containing converters
for the production of steel by this process
and one plant was in course of erection.
The process may be said to be still in an
experimental stage, but the results that
have so far been obtained BY its use are re-
ported to be encouraging. During 1890
there were 4,504 tons of Robert -Bessemer
steel produced in this country, principally
in the form of castings. LIGHTNER.

He Refers to the Difference Between the
National Census and the Police Count,
and Talks Very Plainly About the Cues
tion's Political Phase.
ALBANY, October 31.-Governor Hill
has addressed letter to Secretary of the
Interior Noble asking for reconsideration
of the Secretary's refusal of Mayo Grants
request for new enumeration of the inhab-
itants- of New York City. The Governor
SAYS:
Between the enumeration taken by en-
ployes of the Census Bureau and that taken
by the police of New York, there is differ.
ence OF nearly 200, 900 names. Either one
census or the other was radically inaccurate.
If 200. 600 names have been omitted in the
Federal enumeration and estimates based
upon all fair standards of comparison
confirm the general accuracy of the mu-
nicipal census-the question of recount
ceases to be local in its nature and scope,
and involves seriously the rights of the
State, and perhaps some time in future the
political control of the nation"
Governor Hill says further: "Your con-
viction as to the completeness of the Federal
count is btedly based upon your con-
fdence in the thoroughness OF the work
done by the Federal employees; but the same
commence does not seem to be shared, /
regret to say, by any considerable portion of
the people of New York. Nor do the people
of that city appear to share your belief in
the unimpeachable character of Federal
enumerators. This is time for plain
words. Every enumerator selected to count
the Inhabitants of that great Democratic
city was partisan of the party now in con-
troll of the national Government, appointed
for past political service and upon the
recommendation OF their local party
leaders. Many of them were not
seriously incompetent, ignorant and care
less. 1t was to their political interest that
the party from which they had received
patronage should be beneficiary of their
labor. Under these conditions the suspicion
is nearly unjustifable, that directly Or in
directly political motives to large degree
explain the effectiveness of the Federal
census"
