to fight him, but he would fight
nowhere else than London. / will take
himson his own ground at the National

has furnished the state department a
long report upon the proposed fedora
ton Of the Australian colonies. He
says there is a marked sentiment for a
union and adds:
"The objects Of federation are usually
based on the following considerations:
First, To provide more powerful de-
fense against enemies of the colonies.
Second, To secure a more economical
form Of government.
Third, To stimulate advancement in
the various industries.
The want of cohesion on the part of
the separate colonies has been the great
stumbling block in the various federal

IRON TRADE REVIEW.

Increased Labor Cost the Principal Fea-
ture for the Week.
CLEVELAND, May 1O.-The Iron
Trade Review this week says:
Increased labor cost is the main factor
in calculations as the immediate future
of the iron trade. Furnacemen in the
Mahoning and Shenango valleys, who
produce the bulk Of the Bessemer iron
which goes upon the general market,
have had succession Of strikes the past
week. The Newcastle trouble was set
tied by giving the men an increase.
Other valley furnaces voluntarily
granted 10 cents day advance, which
Mahoning valley furnace employees &C.
cepted. In the Shenango valley.
strikes were started for an additional
advance of 10 cents. One furnace
yielded, and the prospect is that by tbs
time all are running again, the labor
cost of ton Of pig iron will be from 10
to 20 cents higher than it was a week
ago.
Day OF Lowest Prices Over.
The increased cost of making valley
iron has made Bessemer firmer, and
$lO.25 at furnace or 5000 Pittsburg
has been refused. Little business has
been done at any figure. Steel billets
show little activity, but mills are firm
in the main at 1850. The week Just
ending has done more than any other
to convince the few remaining skeptics
that the day Of lowest prices Is at an
end. There is no evidence as
yet that furnaces kept out of blast
by the low prices are preparing to
resume. The advance is not enough to
be tempting. A wage struggle that is
already entering into calculations for
the third quarter Of the year is that
which will follow the Amalgated asso-
cations scale meeting in Cleveland.
There are evidences that the campaign
for the restoration of prosperity wages
is to be very much overdone.

NORTHWESTERN MILLING.

Heavy Output Reported For the Week
just Passed.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 1O.-The North
western Miller gives the following cpl
tome Of the weeks milling business:
Minneapolis mills made 225, 450 bar
rels of flour last week, against Eli, 200
the week before, 100000 in 1894, and
l59, 100 in 1892. The output for April
is 10000 barrels, against 7S7,5OO in
1894. 68l, 300 in 1898, and 795, 800 in
1892. The water power is much i'm
proved and the output promises to at
tain last weeks figures.
Superior r-Duluth output was 4S, 700
barrels against $1,000 the previous
week, %, ,90O in 1894, and "a, 800 in 1893.
Figures ought to be considerably larger
this week.

JAPS THE CAUSE.

Serious Trouble Probable In Hawaii Dur
ing the Next Few Months.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1O.-It is prob
able that the next 80 days will develop
some very exciting scenes in Hawaii.
Private information recently received
by G. w. Ashford in this city indicates
that several kinds of troubles are gath
ering around the government of Presi-
dent Dole and his colleagues. The jap
anese, who are numerous on the island
and who at present are feverish and
elated over the victory Of the mother
country in the war with China,
threaten to come forward and become
serious factors in the government Of
Hawaii and the adjustment Of it's af-
fairs. It is known that among the jap
anese on the islands there are several
hundred trained soldiers. In fact there
are enough to seize and control the
government at any time should they
choose to do 80. The natives are
Restless and Dissatisfied
and only wait another opportunity to
fly in the thick Of another insurrec-
ton. 1t is plain, judging from the in
formation Of Mr.. Ashford. that the
base Of operations, in the event of an
outbreak, would be on the island of
Maux.
II have nothing to do with these op.
erations." said Mr.. Ashford, ''but, as !
am known to be an enemy Of the Dole
crowd and q sympathizer with any
movement that will bring about real
republic, . government by the people
and for the people of Hawaii, my
friends naturally keep me advised OF
what is going on. It is my firm belief
that Mr.. Dole and his fellow officials
will not be in Office ON the LIST Of next
August.

THURSTON'S RECALL
Cresham's Communication at
Last Reaches the Hawaii
an Covernma ant.
WENT BY WAY OF CHINA.
Letter That Scored Gresham
and Cleveland Caused the
Unpleasantness.

SAN Francisco, May l0.-Hawaiian
advices received from Honolulu dated
May per steamship Mariposa, are al
follows:
The letter demanding the recall Of
Minister Thurston is here and was read
to the executive sessions Of the councils.
It had been to Hong Kong. It went
past Honolulu in q bag with others.
The fault lies with the postoface at San
Francisco. The ground Of the objec-
ton to Thurston is confined to single
transaction. The sole onense alleged
is that Thurston at the legation showed
to reporters private letters to himself
from Honolulu.
The Letter That Offended.
The particular letter which gave such
offense to the secretary of state init
mated in strong terms that Cleveland
and Gresham were largely responsible
for the January uprising here.
Gresham spoke to the Hawaiian minis
ter about the matter. Thurston said he
regretted it very much; that in the
hurry Of handling big mail he had
shown this letter with others without
any special intent. In short he apollo
gized. Secretary Gresham thereupon
asked that the apology be submitted in
writing. Thurston declined to do this.
Gresham's letter is dated Feb. 81. last,
and in strong language stated that
Thurston was no longer personally ac-
ceptable to the administration at
Washington as Hawaiian minister.
Thurston WIN Not Return.
It is definitely settled that Thurston
will not return to Washington. He has
resigned, his resignation to take effect
when his successor has been appointed.
Extremists here urge that he be sent
back ut once in order to face Gresham.
They regard his return as q "back-
down." The conservative feeling is
that there should be no playing to the
galleries, and that the relations Of this
government to that of Washington
should be left to adjust themselves in q
natural manner. Frank Hastings, at
present in charge Of the Hawaiian le-
cation, will probably be promoted to
the position of minister. No retaliat-
ing measures viii be taken by the gov
ernment, so a cabinet officer states, and
Minister Willis will remain in Hawaii,
so far as anything the officials Of the
state may say or do to him.

FOR HIGHER WAGES
Amalgamated and ManufaC-
turers Associations Enter
Into a Deal.
TO RAISE THE SCALE OF PRICES
Try to Force Nom Union Con-
Germs to Pay the Same
Wages.

PrrTsBURa. May 10.-The Amalga.
mated Association Of Tin, Iron and
Steel workers, and Merchants Bar Iron
Manufacturers National association,
have entered into combine to secure
for the iron workers of the country bet
ter rates Of wages, and for the manu-
facturers fair competitive conditions
against the mill operators of the Pitts
burg district, who have been working
their employees at low wages. An as
sociation Of manufacturers has been
formed, principally outside the Pitts
burg district, to secure remunerative
prices for iron products, and incident
ally to give the workmen better wages
than are now paid, which are admit
edly too low.
Reached an Agreement.
At the Youngstown conference, be-
tween the Amalgamated association
and the Valley Iron Manufacturers as
,ociation, an agreement was entered
into by the Merchant Bar Iron associa-
ton and the Amalgamated association,
to advance the present pudding scale
10 per cent, provided the 'non-union
and under-scale mills of this city could
be forced to pay the same price.
The strike in six mills of this city at
the present time is the result Of this
agreement. The Pittsburg puddlers
are not only striking for present scale
rates, but if successful, will make it
possible for all the iron workers in the
country to secure an advance Of 10 per
cent on the 81 pudding rate.
Uniformity IL Wanted.
The manufacturers may be willing to
grant much higher advance if they
can secure a uniformity of labor cost
throughout the country. The Cleve-
land convention will probably propose
q pudding rate Of $4.75 per ton, and
possibly IS. The finishers are to be ad-
vanced also, but not in proportion to
the puddlers. Should the plan sue.
ceed upward of $4,000 ironworkers
will be benefited.
President Smith of the American
Flint Glassworkers' union, in discuss.
ing the industrial situation, said:
"The movement to secure better
wages will not be confined to any one
trade, but will be made by all. The
time has come and the worker will
have an inning. The restoration
should be made, and it will be the best
thing that can happen in this country
at the present time"
