BALTIMORE, Dec. o0.-The MQnwalur-
ers' Record OF this week, in its review Of
the industrial and general business in
tercsts OF the south during tho past
year, shows that that section has made
very solid and substantial progress, free
from any speculative operations.
During tho year the south completed
twenty-cighk blast furnaces, ton rolling
mills, ono Bcsscmer rail mill in Mary
land and one largo Besacmcr plant in
kentucky, all OF which havo either
gone into operation or are about ready
to commence. 1t has also nearly finish
cd two cotton tic mills, has one tin plate
mill nearly ready for operation, and is
preparing to build q large tin plate mill
and steel works in Virginia with English
and American capital. Tho low price
OF iron has enforced economics in fur
mace management and SO reduced the
cost OF iron making that Alabama fur
naces are reported to be in stronger
financial shape that 4 year ago, and to
be making big profits, even at the low
figures prevailing. The production OF
coal in 1891 was about 23,OOO,OOO' tons,
against G,5OO,Ooo tons i'll 1852, ortcn
years ago.
West Virginia alone now mines more
coal than thcwhole south did ten years
ago. The output Of pig iron in the south
in 1891, as indicated by special reports
to the Manufacturers Rccoltl, was about
100000 tons. Tho total assessed value
ofproperty as shown by official returns
is S4,SlG,0O0,OO0, gain OF S32O,OOO, 900
over 1890, the largest gain eve- made in
one ,anda gain ofsl, ,o00,o00,o0o over
1880, when the south first commenced
to develop its industrial interests.

Abbott SUNNI oned to 1vasltnst on.

PlrrsBuRGu, Pa, Dec. Chairman
Abbott, OF Carnegie, Phipps & Co., has
been summoned by telegraph to Wash
ington by the secretary OF the navy in
relation to armor and deck plate Which
the firm is supplying for war ships now
building. The telegram ordered him to
leave on the first train and ho will take
his departure this evening. The
rumors OF thu fevcrish rapidity with
which the government is pushing work
on the war vessels in view OF strained
relations with Chile receives new con-
iirInation locally. On the streets to-day
it was stated that Carnegie, Phipps l.
Co.;are pushing work on the armor
and deck plate contracts as rapidly as
possible and no kilograms from the
bureau of ordinance could possibly
expedite matters. In relation TO tho
above q member Of the firm OF Carnegie,
Pkipps 4 Co. was interviewed this
morning and said: 'Thcre is nothing
unusual in relation to our contracts,
nor any extraordinary rush. 1t is
customary to receive many dispatches
concerning the work and also for some
member OF the firm to be called to
Washington on the same business.

Newspaper Reports.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2Y.-'rFc afternoon
was absolutely without On incident that
could be distorted into relation to war;
Like preparation.
Secretary Blaine did not rcturn to the
department. Of state alter tho cabinet
meeting, and scnor Nlontt, tho Chilean
minister, did not make his appearance
there. No cipher dispatches came from
Minister Egan. SiHif fEr
Such unofficial adviccs us liave been
received here are to tho effect that The
legal authorities at Valparaiso have not
completed tho revision OF tho formal
proceedings OF Justice Foster. Justhow
long those legal formalitics may be pro-
tracted before they may bo regarded rs
causing further .needlcss delay" is OF
course dcterminablc only by President
Harrison, but there Is reason to believe
that there has been brought to his at
tcntion the difficulties that surround
President NIontt i'll the formation OF a
now cabinet, and that he is also dcsir-
Gus OF avoiding the appearance OF en-
deavoring to Interfere with the duo pro-
cess OF law in Chilc, II there is my rca-
sonable ground for the assumption that
duo process Is being followed. These
considerations have doubtless led him
to adopt course OF patient waiting to
Tho utmost extreme consistent with 4
due regard to tho dignity OF the United
States.
Ii the heads OF the bureaus in the
navy department arc to be believed, no
extraordinary efforts arc making to put
the naval vessels in condition for active
hostilitics. In the construction bureau
the officers in charge say positively that
no orders have gone forward to Sair
Francisco to hurry up the work on the
Monterey. In the ordnance bureau it
is learned that the turret armor for the
Monterey is all ready for shipment to
San Francisco ut any time. Her great
guns are also ready, and the pcnnsyl-
vania railroad company has undertaken
to transport them across the continent.
General Schoiicld smiled at the war
stories published in the papers. and
said that General Milcs's visit to Wash
ington, instead OF boins connected with
war movements, was Il commission OF
peace, for he came to attend the we'd
ding OF Rachael Sherman tomorrow at
Senator Sherman's house.

Movements Of tho Charleston.

San Diego, Dec. 29.-According to
Admiral Brown, who is now here with
the San francisco, the cruiser Charles
ton left Honolulu for Acapulco.
Whether the Charleston will come
north or go south from Acapulco, the
admiral declined to say. In regard to
extra ammunition aboard the San Fran
cisco, Captain Simpson said: eve
have enough to fill up the Charleston
and Baltimore and put them in cam
paign condition. 1t is believed here
that the San francisco has orders to re-
main at this port until diplomatic rela-
tions with Chile take one turn or the
other, and that her disposition in future
will depend upon the turn those .diplo-
matte relations take. ,5$

members. AT this date, only year

association has moro than doubled its
membership, counting at present thirty
four membcrs in good standing. In
June. 1890, tho entire order contained
$4,000 members, ,cnnd now counts over
10000 in, the fold. 1t is considered
ono OF the best md safest assessment
orders in the United States; death
benefit OF $4,000 is paid to the heirs of

low.
