an act compelling the parents to send
their children 10 the free schools at

vANIA.-The Washington CORES.
pondent OF the Philadelphia Ledger
states that forthcoming census
bulletin will chow that Alabama pros
ducos in one yesr more iron ore than
Psnnsy lvania. The importance and
Significance OF this statement are ey-
ident when we reflect that Pennsyls
vania has long been the great centre
OF the iron industry.of the country
That q Southern State should now
take frat place indicates 3 remarkable
shifting of capital and industrial
forces. The Ledger correspondent
admits that the South will be the
future IRON producing centre Of the
United States. The superintendent
OF the census Is quoted as saying
that the three future centres 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.

Mr.. jay Gould speaking of the gathering,
said that his opinion was that the railroad men
would be in session for three days, still there
was bare possibility that the business might
be finished tomorrow.
The first matter which would be brought up
for discussion and consideration, Mr.. Gould
thought, would be the adjustment of indi-
vidual agencies for the establishment Of joint
agencies.
The records of all the roads represented, Mr..
Gould added, were good, owing to the economic
methods adopted.
