A. An.edo.. Of III. Emi,.

Al AnocuoSS VI tAS Snhs
M. Pyne, an English engineer rea,
deaf as Csbul, in the service OF the emir,
tells good STORY about his highness
and the RussianA Mr.. Pyne is stated
to have been told it by the emir himself.
The Russian governor Of Turkestan sent
to tho emir ssying that it was proposed
to exercise some 500 artillery and cav
airy on the Afghan frontier, and ex.
pressing the hope that it would not give
rise TO apprehensions on the part of his
highness. To this his highness replied
that he had no objection, because as it
happened that be was about to exercise
5000 cavalry, artillery and infantry on
his dde Of the frontier at the same place
and there was plenty Of room for both.
The reply to this, after thanking his
highness was that another more con-
venieut site had been found for The pro-
posed maneuvers.-London Times.

A Storm on tho coas. of Chilli.

A Storm on the Coast OF Chill.
In the southern part of the desert Of
Atacama a storm occurs only at inter-
walls Of many years. One of these rare
storms was experienced by only one per-
son, Mr.. Joel Phillips, now Of Cornwall,
but then q mule owner and copper ore
carrier, who lived In 3 rancho located
on an insulated rock fifteen feet above
the level of the bottom of rsvine in
which 1t was situated and distant from
the port of Pau de Azucar about twenty
miles He had just arrived at his homo
an hour before sunset when heavy
cloud appeared overhead. causing sud.
den darkness. But he was soon aroused
from superauous reflection by shower
of hailstones of dangerous dimensions
and followed by copious downpour Of
water. which continued for about eight
hours, accompanied by loud peals OF
thundas. His terror was further aroused
by the roa1 Of flowing torrents OF water
around his lonely island home, as the
rayina. one,haK mils In width. was
now filed to q: depth of twelve fest

aroused by his famished saddle horse de-

PRICES OF PIG-lRoN CUT.

They Are Brought Down Below tho Profit

New YORK, July 7.-President B. G..
Clark, of the Thomas Iron Company,
yesterday announced reduction of 81
in the price of Nos. and 2 x Northern
pig-iron to SIS and $14 respective
ly, adhering to previous prices on
No. 2 plain and gray forge
bands. For some time certain
Pennsylvania furnaces have been sell
ing from so to 80 cents under his quota
tons of SIS and $l6, causing loss of
considerable tonnage and general dis
satisfaction among those who had con-
tracted for supplies. The cut is in the
nature of q movement to meet this &C.
ton and also to stamp out weak com.
petition, rs 1t places prices below the
profit margin mark for all but
the strongest financial concerns.
The same company on the first
of the year made reduction of S.
per ton, setting the pace for the market
for the last six months. Its present
q ,tion is looked upon as one possessing
permanency, and ia believed to be for
the purpose of driving number of
furnaces out of blast. The belief
among the iron men in this city is that
the reduction will not materially affect
this branch of the industry, as all the
concerns in operation are strong

Aristocracy Open to Offers.

The following advertisement lately
appeared in an English newspaper:
Directors wanted of good social
standing for new company now in
course of formation; qualification will
be found for selected applicants, and
remuneration will be on a liberal
SCALE" To this there were al re-
plies received; one earl one viscount,
four barons, seven baronets, one
knight, thirteen honorables, six men,
bers of parliament, four generals, one
admiral, nine colonies, four majors,
fourteen army captains, three minor
naval officers, and seventy-three with
out rank or title. There were some
very amusing letters accompanying
the applications. The earl said: Il
need not point out that, should you
entertain my proposal, an important
leverage in procuring a good subscrip-
tion of public capital will be gained
by my title, which is an old one, and
likely to prove an attraction to in
vestors. | may also state that if
appointed should always make it a
point Of driving to the general meet
ings in my brougham and pair, with
servants in full livery. This, I have
been told by friends sitting on COM
pany boards, is a great factor in in
spring shareholders with confidence. !"
One Of the barons wanted to know
"if the fees were paid in advance,
irrespective of any profits made by
the company" One of the members
Of parliament wrote that he had no
doubt that, if he were appointed, it
would result in heavy purchases of
shares in his constituency, where he
was very popular. And" he added,
sit would be well if the bona fldes Of
your scheme were assured-at any
rate on the surface" The last part
OF the sentence would seem to rather
give the yirtuous legislator away, as
he evidently did not care whether
the scheme was good or not. -Finan-

gale off the south coast Of Ireland yes
terday was only lull in the storm.
Afterward the wind shifted and blew
with renewed fury. The outlook for

finally last night orders were
given for all hands to abandon the
ship. The officers and crew were all
ready for this, and in short time they
went ashore. The steamer was left to
her fate. At2 O'Clock this morning she
portion went down in twelve fathoms of
water
