ESPECIAL TRLEeRAM TO THE DISPATCH. }

steel and iron industries Whlch mas ever
occurred in this country will take place in
the latter part OF September of this year
and continue until the close Of October
Two hundred members Of the Iron and steeI
Institute Of Great Britain; 100 member
OF the verein Deutscher Else enhuttenleute
(the leading German steel and iron aSSo'
oiatiOn). and 90 Of the leading French,
Belgian and Swedish metallurgists, will
on this occasion be the guests Of the Ameri-
can Institute of Mining Engineers and
other American societies
The occasion will be still further signal
lied by the British Institute holding q
special meeting during ita stay here. This
great gathering of the most famous scientists
In the mctallurgical field and Of the fore
most and wealthicst iron and steel manu-
faoturerH aud mine owners In the world will
be largely due 10 the efforts exerted many
years ago by the most distinguished Amer
ical metAllurgist, the late Alexander L.
HALEY, OF this city.
AN EARN EST WORKER.
Mr.. HALEY made many visits 10 Europe
and established q reciprocity between the
metallurglsts Of the two countries, which,
but Tor him. would have been long in form
ing. The improvements achieved by work.
erS in the iron and steel field abroad be in
troduced into this country; vice versa, espe-
cially in regard to the making Of Bessemer
steel, in which this country long led the
European countries.
In 1873, Mr.. HALEY suggested to the Iron
and Steel Insti ute OF Great Britain that it
should hold meeting in this country. Al
though favorably received. the suggestion
was not acted upon. A few years later the
British Institute itself revived the project,
and informed the American Institute OF its
action. The latter, however, at this time was
not ready to receive its English cousin on &C
count ofcertsin complications inopportunely
arising, and it was decided to ask the Brit
ish society to postpone its visit until q more
favorable season.
ALL CORDIALLY INVITED.
That season appeared to have arrived
early IN the present year and cordial invi-
tations were sent to the Iron and Steel Insti-
tute of Great Britain, and the Verein
Deutscher Eisenhuttenleute of Germany,
and, in the absence of similar bodies in
France, Belgium and Sweden, individual
invitations were sent to the most eminent
French, Belgian and Observation-Disclosures
Although proceeding directly from the
American Institute Of Mining Engineers,
the invitations were indorsed and supple
mented by others from the American Iron
and Steel Association, the United States
Association of Charcoal Iron Workers, the
American Society of Civil Engineers and
the American Society of Mechanical En-
gineers.
A gratifyingly large portion of the invita-
tions was accepted by those to whom they
were -xtended and the whole body of visiting
metallurgists, mine owners, and iron and
steel manufacturers will number about 400.
As so OF the British visitors have signifed
that their wives will accompany them, and as
many of the continental guests are expected
to be similarly companioned, the entire
party will probably number not less than
600. These are the most eminent of the ex-
pected visitors, all members of the British
institute, but many of them Germans, who
belong also to the German institute.
