Outlook for Iron and Steel.

New York. March 6,-The Iron Age
tomorrow will say: The outlook is
favorable for a moderate advance in
besse1ner ore and there is little hope OF
any recovery in non-bessemer ore AS
a matter of fact. sales of the latter
have been to easter furnaces at figures
lower than ever. This means there is
a chance for higher cost of bessemer
pig, but little prospect through pro-
ducers' necessities in foundry grades.
Only rush in the demand can bring
that about The coke situation is puz-
zlinS. There is uneasiness as 10 re-
newed labor troubles and some evidence
that producers are manoeuyring for an
advance The purchasers of bessemer
pig by the three large Pittsburg con-
Germs are estimated at an aggregate
OF about 125, 900 tons, which clears the
market for some time TO come.
4 good deal of work is in sight in
finished iron and steel ST. Louis has
1900 cars to place. II is estimated
that this far orders for q, 1000 cars have
been given out, which is considerable
Improvement over last year. For struc
tural work the outlook is quite pleasing
with reference to tonnage. The Della
ware bridge of the Pennsylvania com
pany, involving upward of 1900 tons.
is 500 to be given out. There is a pros
pect OF good deal Of work in building
iron.
The steel rail trade continues slow.
Still, eastern mills took about IL. coo
tons including 1000 tons for Georgia
railroad. Activity in pipe contracts
continues, the western mills sweeping
everything before them in their terri
tory. They took $500 tons for the East
River Gas company and 4.000 tons for
Boston. Buffalo is in the market for
5000 tons and there are many small in
quiries- Thus far the southern shops
have not taken any bushes OF conse-
ouence north of the Pnfnrnan

Decline in baltimore and Ohio.

New York March 6.--In it's Wall street
;sHBs lsod SuIusAI eui GBpol MeIAeI
The ten point decline in Baltimore and
Ohio within a fortnight suggests I'M
doubtedly some sales of actual holdings;
though it is true, too, that the fall in
price today was effected through pro-
feSSional bear" spectators. The
simple fact that the Baltimore and Ohio
is finding its surplus earnings consider
ably short even of the reduced rate of
dividend. In the fiscal year ending
with last June, the company paid per
cent on its common stock, and left
surplus balance of less than $4,000. In
the calendar year 1894, which brings
returns nearly to date, the company's
net earnings decreased $780, 600 from
1893. On this basis a small deficit
would be left after the payment of even
per cent dividend. so far as its state
ments show, is moving conservatively.

special to the Times Union from
Tampa, Fla says: A gentleman
who left Havana Saturday says Of the
situation in Cuba:
Things are looking rocky even
in Havana Business is depressed,
and in spite of the government and
Americans who have large holdings
there, the situation is serious and
growing worse every every day
The insurgents have a force of more
than ten thousand we'll armed and
equipped men in the field, and can
place as many more in service on
short notice. But their plan is to
make a guerrilla warfare Of it for the
present. When the government
shows it's hand fully then they will
act.
The coming Of Campos means the
beginning Of the struggle in earnest
he brings authority from Madrid to
garrote and shoot every rebel cap
tured in the field, and the atrocities
of the last rebellion will be repeated.
During that struggle men were shot,
thrown into prison. and the women
of the rebels were outraged and their
homes burned. But the rebels are
prepared to meet the enemy at every
point They are fully organized and
equipped this time. When the
outraging of the wives and
daughters of the rebels begin, and
their homes are burned to the ground,
the Spaniards will be repaid in kind.

Another Blow at the Tax.
. New Case to Test Other Points
Began Agaist the Income Tax.

new YORK, April l0-Charles
Allen has begun 4 suit in the Circuit
Court of the United States for the
Southern district Of New York
against President Stuyyesant Fish
and the directors Of the Illinois Cen
trial Railroad Company to prevent
them from paying to the government
TIE income tax of 2 per cert on the
earnings of the company for the year
ended December 81, 1894.
Allen says in his complaint that he
is a resident Of Greenfield, Mass.
and that he is the holder of FIVE
shares Of the capital stock Of the
company. He contends that the in
come tax is unconstitutional because
it is a direct tax, but if it should be
held that it is not a direct tax, then
Allen maintains that the tax is un-
collectable for tie reason that it is
not uniform, many of the stockhold-
ers of the Illinois Central having IN
comes of less than $4,000, including
the dividends from their holdings Of
the stock.
Allen says that the tax is not uni
form, furthermore, from the fact that
it is imposed upon only about | per
cent. CT the population of the United
States, namely, those who have in
comes in excess of 81. 900 a year de-
rived from personal property, while
the remaining 80 per cent. of the
population are exempted from the
payment of the tax, although they
hold The greater part Of all personal
property in the United States. Like
wise, mutual insurance companies,
having assets Of $1,000, 900 900, are
exempted, while companies organized
on the stock plan, with assets of
SITS, 600, 900, are made to pay the
tax. Building and loan associations
are also relieved from the tax Jo-
seph II. Choate aud Clarence A.
Seward. who have appeared in pre-
vious cases against the income tax
law, are counsel for Allen.

Charles II. Of England delighted in
Chaucer. aud thought him the greatest
poet that ever lived.
Gladstone computes that the babitual
speakers of the English language have
increased from Is, O0O. 900 70 100000
900 during the last 100 years. and that
they will number 120, 600. 900 by tn
end of the year 1900. At that rate
of increase, which is seven-fold each
century, such speakers will include not
less than $40, 600, 900 BY the end Of

Mr.. Harry de Wiudt, who has trav-

IBERIA" 10 London. said that there are
about 230 prisons in that country. two
thirds Of which are resting-places along
the great post road to the Pacific. TO
these about II, 900 persons a year have
been sent from Russia during the last
fifteen years. The silver mines Of
Nertcbinsk, near the Chinese frontier,
are the only ones where convicts are
employed. The prisons there are clean
and substantially built; the food and
clothing good and sufficient. The con-
ditiou of the miners is substantially the
same as that Of Eoglish miners, ex-
cept that they do less work.
