THE CABINET MEETING.
The Financial Question Discussed-FOs
ter's Statement.


WASHINGTON, June 27.-The cabinet
meeting called Friday to consider fnan-
ciai questions, was attended by Secre-
taries Foster, Tracy, Noble, Rusk and
Postmaster General Wanamaker. Sec
retaries Blaine and Proctor and Attorney
General Miller were absent, and their
departments were not represented The
questions discussed were the continued
coinage of silver, the extension of the
four-and a-half per cent bonds and the
change in the form of the asset and
liability statement.
Secretary Foster made the following
statement as the result of the cabinet
meeting affecting the coinage of silver:
After full and careful considera-
ton of the law relating to the coinage
of silver, Secretary Foster finds that the
act of March 8, 1891, requires that the
secretary of the treasury shall as soon
as practicable, coin the trade dollar bars
into silver dollars He also finds that
$150,000 has been appropriated for the
recoinage of subsidiary silver coin into
such denominations as will best serve to
give it circulation. There is constant
demand for small coins, principally
dimes which the mints have
not been able to supply. The sec
retary of the treasury has decided
that his first duty in this matter is to
obey the direction of congress. Con-
gress has ordered the coinage of the
trade dollar bars into standard silver
dollars. The coinage of the trade dollar
bars in this manner will transform what
cost $5,037, ,967 into 5,148,21S standard
dollars. The secretary finds that it will
require perhaps four months to perform
the work of coming trade dollar bars
into standard dollars and recoining
the subsidiary silver. Therefore, the
question of the continued coinage of sill
yer dollars as heretofore, is not prac-
tical one at present"

INDIANAPOLIS, June 27.-An excursion
which the colored people Of indianapolis
ran Thursday to Maxwell, twenty miles
east of here, was characterized by a
furious and bloody fight, which in
volved the serious and probably fatal
wounding of City Councilman Henry
Sweetland and John Banks, both col
ored. The trouble was the result of the
renewal of an old feud between John
Harvey, an ex-convict, and Banks

standing near, both pulled guns and

land stepped between them and called
TO Harvey not TO shoot. Harvey paid
no attention to the command, but fired
at Banks, who stood behind Sweetland.
The ball struck Sweetland near the left
nipple and passed entirely through his
body. After shooting Sweetland, Har-
vey and Banks began battle; each held
two revolvers, one in either hand, and
spectators say at least fifty shots were
fired, some at long, some at short range.
DuilkS WitS sHOI IuTee Ilulebi once

are believed to be fatal. Harvey re.
ceived but a slight flesh wound from q
bullet. The men kept up the shooting
until Banks brother caught Harvey and
hammered him on the head with re-
volver. In this way Harvey was badly
used up. After the shooting Harvey
boarded freight train and escaped.
1t is said the sheriff of Hancock
county arrived at the scene of the
trouble in ample time, but refused to
arrest Harvey without warrant.
The shooting lasted for fully twenty
minutes. The guns were reloaded sew
eral times. Sweetland was brought to
this city on the excursion train that ar
rived here. His injuries are believed to
he fatal.

AS AN iron STATE
Pennsylvania is Compelled to
Take a Back Seat,
Alabama Gracefully Steps Into
First Place.

Destined to BE the Future Iron PrOduc-
ing Center of the United States, If Not
the WOrId-Indastrial Progress in the
South More Than nSatisfactory-Superin
tendent Porter Talks.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-Within a
week the census Office will issue a
bulletin for iron ore, which will be. per
haps, one of the most remarkable, as
well as one of the most suggestive, of
the series of bulletins issued by that
office. For the first time in the history
of the country, Alabama will change
places with Pennsylvania as producing
in one year more iron ore than the old
Keystone state. This significant state
ment means that the south will be the
future iron producing center of the
United States.
Opinion of Superintendent Porter.
"The forthcoming statement will
show that in no part of the United
States has the industrial progress been
more satisfactory than in the south" !"
said Superintendent Porter on the sub
iect.
''It is a fact that our statistics will
show the south to be producing as much
iron ore now as the whole country pro-
duced in 1870. The same is true as re-
CARDS pig iron and bituminous coal. In
my opinion the changes that will come
about in the near future, i'll the manu-
facture of iron, will make the south the
great iron-producing region Of the
United States. This will not affect
Pennsylvania, for we have abundant
proof that in all these migrations the
old centers take up another class Of
manufactures, which is generally an ad-
vanced product of the same article. In
England the old iron centers were Shelf
field and Birmingham, but when South
Wales and Barrow took the lead the
former cities engaged in the production
of steel and other things, The three
future centers of iron manufacture will
be Puget sound on the Pacific coast;
Birmingham, east Tennessee and North
Carolina in the south, and the Pittsburg
region in the north. Schooled in ad-
yersity, the south is already beginning
to realize the blessings that follow from
turning the sword into plowshare,
and tlIe truth of President IIaI izUII'e
statement in his inaugural address is
now apparent, that the emancipation
proclamation was heard in the dark
depths of the earth as well as in the
cerulean depths of the sky"

Over 5000 Miles of Railroad Open

WASHINGTON, June 27.-A statistical
summary of the growth of the Argen-
tine Republic since 1851 shows that In
thirty years the population has increased
from 1,350,000 to 1000, 600, and the num-
Der of acres in.culhvation from 100000

Now there are over 5000 miles Of

Commerce and the national wealth
have multiplied five times over within

increased in much greater proportion.

COTTON ON PASSENGER STEAMERS

NEW YORK, June 27.-A cablegram
has been received at the New York Office
of the White Star line from the chief
executive officer in Liverpool, directing
that in future no cotton should be car
ried on the mail and passenger steamers.
1t was learned that the matter is receiv-
ing careful consideration by all the
ocean steamship companies, and the ac-
ton of White Star line will probably
lead to a general agreement not TO carry
cotton on passenger steamers.
The dangerous and altogether un-
pleasant experience of the passengers on

her recent voyage to Liverpool when
they were at sea, the cotton was burn
