Tho coming international convention OF iron ana
steel manufacturers which will be held in this country
In October has attracted attention and has been
anticipated with greater interest by the engineering
world than any affair Of the kind in recent years For
months preparations Of an elaborate kind have been
carried on 1T has long been the desire Of the iron
and steel manufacturers and the engineers OF THIS
country to issue call for an international meeting
on this side Of the Atlantic. This desire, deeply
rooted as It was received impetus by the meetings
held IN Philadelphia during the Centennial of 1875
and the courteous treatment of the 300 American
endncers who visited various countries Of the Cont
neut In 1859. Months ago the Council of the Amer
can Institute of Mining Engineers, in connection with
the Iron and steel Association. the American society
Of Mechanical Engineers and the United states AS
ISOLATION OF Charcoal IrOnworers extended an invita-
ton to the Iron and Steel Institute of Great Britain
TO hold its annual session in union with their own on
this side of the sea- The invitation was accepted
with Enthusiasm. similar requests were sent TO the
Veren Deutsche Eiscnhuettenleutc, in Germany, and
to like societies in other lands. Everywhere the
response was prompt and hearty In consequence the
meeting the first Of its kind in this country, will be
attended by than 500 foreign guests. including
the greatest engineers of England, France Germany.
switzerland and spain. 1t Is difficult to overesti-
mate the importance and probable results of a con-
yertion at which many of the most brilliant mem
bers Of the engineering profession Will read papers and
discuss subjects of practical interest to all mankind.
