COOL HfADs 2 BEGINNING TO wHlRl

Cleveland, O., Aug. 29.-The Iron Trade Review says today:
 Perhaps no week since the beginning of the revival in iron, five months ago. has developed as much of a sensational im- port to the trade as the one under review. From $14.00 to $15.5o in the valley is the advance in Bessemer iron and the scare ity of that metal for delivery is the fact on which the attention of the whole steel industry of the country is new concen- trated. The leading producers of steel in the west and in the Pittsburg district have been taking large blocks of metals, and on the heels of a brief quetness and nearly stationary values have brought the market to a point in which the cool heads in the business would fain pause to get their bearings. The week is of special significance for having brought Bessemer iron to a point at which the price of the domestic product from 25 cents to 50 cents higher in the east than foreign hematites, ex-ship, at Atlantic ports The probability of materially in creasing the Bessemer output in the next four months seems slight, in the view of the number of furnaces in the central west that will be off through the fall for refining.
 August business with foundry furnaces has been comparatively quiet but there are symptoms of a new buying campaign.
 The southern situation is stronger and another general advance of 50 cents is looked for in the early fall The 20-cent freight advance to Ohio river points, an- nounced for September 2, was withdrawn, but it is estimated that larger increase is being arranged among the railroads meantime.
 The week has seen an actice market in soft steel and more western billets have come into the Cleveland district, one, 10,- 900 ton transaction, being closed. A num- Der of inquiries are made for the first quarter of 1896. At Pittsburg 1895 busi- ness has been done from S22 to $23, Wheel ing district mill. the higher prices being secured on later deliveries. In the Cleve- land district S23 steel has been sold, and In the past two days mill has quoted SPA at Cleveland on deliveries into 1896.

Milwaukee, Nov. 15.-Viotor L. Ber-

to Woodstock to interview the
prisoDed labor leader, Eugene v.
Debs. Debs said in substance:
THE time of strikes is past. The
laboring man must strike at the bal
lot box. The laboring man who votes
for any of the old parties is slave
who is voting the ticket Of his master,
and he is forging his own chain. 1t is
not gold, silver or the coinage issue
because that would change nothing in
this damnable industrial system that
makes slaves of majority of the peo-
pie. The only complete overthrow
of the present war slavery is the es-
Establishment of cooperative common
wealth that will afford a thorough and
permanent help"

SHIPS GO TO TURKEY.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 15.-Five Rus
sian warships have been ordered to
start Immediately for the Mediter-
ranean in view of the proposed naval
demonstration there arising out of the
Armenian question.
Constantinople, Nov. 15.-There is
very little change in the situation
to be on it's way to Salonica bay to
join the British fleet of about twenty
warships already here. The French
fleet is expected shortly and the rep
resentatives of the powers, as a result
Of communications exchanged with
their governments, have had another
Informal meeting at the French en-
bassy. When the three squadrons
have united and Phillip Currie, the
British ambassador, returns some de-
cided step upon the part of the powers
may be anticipated.
News received here from the district
of Van records fresh massacres of Ar
menian christians there. The Kurds
OF Van are said to be sacking and
p1llaging the Armenian villages and
the Turkish officials are reported to be
poWerless to preserve order. A tele-
gram received here from Sivas on
Tuesday evening, but only made pub
lie yesterday, says that massacre of
the Armenians has been commenced
in that city, but according to the porte
order has been restored there. The
facts in the case may be expected
shortly.
1t is rumored here that Shakir
Pasha, the imperial high commissioner
for Armenian reforms, is about to be
recalled in order that he may be ap-
pointed grand vizier in succession to
Hall Rifiat Pasha, the present incum
bent of that office. If the rumor is
correct this would seem to be another
open defiance of the powers, for
Shakir Pasha is regarded as the chief
butcher of the porte. Since his ap
pearance at Erzeroum as high COM
missioner the massacres there have
been more bloody and frequent than
ever before, and he has done nothing
to punish the offenders. In fact he
las been charged with calmly looking
on while Turkish soldiery fired upon
every helpless christian they caught
sight of. Every day brings further
details of the massacres at Erzeroum
and each report makes the story of
the crimes more CHASTITY. Men, wo-
men and children we're shot, bayonet-
ted, burned and outraged for days, the
killing and mutilation lasting for
weeks, though intervals Of rest were
recorded. The orders for these out
RACES are said to have been sent by
the porte and they were carried out
in the most cruel manner imagin-
able The number of killed will
probably never be known and is es-
timated at from 500 to 1000, according
to the Turkish or Armenian versions
of the affair. Certainly many hum
dreds were killed, and it is even said
that some of the victims were skinned
alive, while others were soaked with
petroleum and set on fire.

A MERE STATEMENT
THE MONROE DOCTRINE ONLY
SUCH AT PRESENT.
SAYS HENRY CABOT LODGE
But He Thinks Congress Will Make
1t an Integral Part of the Policy OF
the I nited States-NIr. Stead has
His Little Fling at the Armenian
Statesman

London, Nov. 15.-The Chronicle
has an interview with Henry Cabot
Lodge, of Massachusetts, in which he
expresses his views upon the subject
of the Monore doctrine. After going
through the history of the doctrine, he
says:
Thus far the Monroe doctrine has
remained mere statement found only
in President Monr0e's message, but it
is my belief that the next congress
will by formal resolution declare it to
by an integral part of the policy of
the United States to be maintained at
all hazards. The American opinion
is practically unanimous as to the alb
solute necessity of upholding the doc
trine for the welfare of the country.
Moreover, believe that Europe recog-
nizes our attitude as reasonable and
proper"
VIM. 7. Stead, editor of the Review
of Reviews, replying to the interview
said England would never consent to
any veto being placed on the freest
possible expansion of the Pacific ocean
t,ade and the settlement and coloni-
cation of the western world. He
insists that it will be absurd to sub
nit the Venezuelan question to arbi-
tration and especially with the ex-
ample of the termination of the Ala
bama claims as an object lesson. In
conclusion he said that he recognized
the fact that the Americans were
quite in a frame of mind to invent
new doctrines if they found that the
Monroe doctrine did not apply to
Venezuela.

A NEW MANAGER.
G. n. Robinson General Manager for
DeLamar's Property.

Under the date Of May 18th, the Salt
Lake Tribune contains an article regarding
the DeLamar property and says
ut is officially announced that Mr.. G. Ii.
Robinson. whose contract as manager Of the
Mammoth properties in Tintic expired on
April LIST, has been placed in the RESPONSE
BILE position of general manager of all the
varied mining interests of Captain ]. r.
DeLamar, with headquarters in Salt Lake.
By the acceptance of the new place, Mr..
Robinson does not abandon the Mammoth,
but will continue in the position of con-
sulting manager to the directors of that
company. He will occupy his quarters as
general manager of the DeLamar properties
in rooms 5ll, 5l2 and 5l3 in the Dooley
block, which have been fitted up for general
offices, and in which the business OF
Captain DeLamar will be transacted
The interests that are thus placed under
the control of Mr.. Robinson represent about
as big total in the aggregate as will be
found in the West under the direction of
any one man. They include the properties
of Captain DeLamsr in Creole, Colo, the
DeLamar mine and mill in the Ferguson
District, Nevada, the recently purchased
Golden Gate group in Mercur, other large
operating concerns in Utah with which the
connection of Captain DeLamar is not gene
rally u all ha 70 he Il
owner, to say nothing of the numerous pro.
perties he is now operating in Utah and
Nevada under bond
One of the influences behind Mr. Robin
sons appointment to his new position was
the strength of local capital represented by
a number of Salt Lake business men. 1t
was not generally known that CAPITA De-
Lamar had local capital associated with him
in his Western mining deals, but such is
now stated to be the case.
Mr.. Robinson's appointment, however, it
is understood, will not interfere with the
present superintendent on any of the pro-
perties. The direct supervision at DeLamar
is in the hands of experienced and able men
and George Kislingbury will be retained as
a superintendent of the Golden Gate group
at Mercur
The latest reports from the DeLamar
mines in Nevada are to the effect that
everything is running smoothly, and the de.
velopments are most satisfactory. The
only difficulty being encountered is the in
sufficient water supply, but this has not yet
interferred seriously with operations.
Arrangements have been made to get good
supply from the Meadow Valley Wash, and
contracts have been let for the pumping
machinery and the necessary pipe"
