The Accident That Delayed the French
Liner Was Similar to the Other One.

New YoRK, May 22.-The anxiety con-
corning the overdue French liue steamer
La Gascogne was relieved at 10 o. clock this
morning. when her signal for assistance
was deserted by the marine observer at
Fire Island. Tugs were sent to her and
they met her off Sandy Hook, The story
of her delay was briefly told. 1t was a
repetition of the accident which beiel her
last February.
On Thursday, the fifth day out from
Havre. the piston head of the intermediate
cylinder broke, as it did before. The
worthless cylinder had been disconnected
by Chief Engineer lie Bars, the other two
connected. and the steamer proceeded
under half power, at about eight knots an
hour, hence the three days and half delay
in arrival.
There was no excitement among the
passengers. of whom there were so in the
first cabin, A in the second and sol in the
steerage In fact, only those in the engine
room we're aware of the break. lmmedi-
ately. however, the vessel was stopped
that was at O'Clock Thursday morning
last-and it was 5 o'clock that evening,
when the work of disconnecting the de.
ranged cylinder was completed. Proliting
by past experience, no attempt was made
to attain more than eight knots per hour
from that time, as a speed OF II knots
after the last breakdown caused heating
OF journals and u second stoppage.
Beyond this break. delay and slow goine
there was absolutely no feature of the
voyage out OF the ordinary.

from the fight for the Democratic
nomination for Governor of Maryland,
and says he will not again enter the

NEW York, May 23.-The Iros Ago
to-day says:
The improvement has now spread to
practically every section OF the country
and to every department, with very few
exceptions. The consumption is grow
ing and the demand is certainly very
much better, buyers having given up re.
sistance. Unless some fatality throws
back the iron trade, the balance of the
year promises to be quite good.
Thus far only few Eastern concerns
have followed the initiative of the West
in advancing wages, simply because the
improvement in prices is just beginning
TO reach them.
The central West has mad another
week of activity, particularly in
Bessemer pig iron, which is up to $1075
and $11 in the valleys. The steel works
in that section have been quite heavy
buyers, and a number of sellers have
Withdrawn from the market entirely.
The steel market is up, with little ma
terial available for July delivery. East
ern buyers OF soft steel are waking up.
Concerns which some time since pur.
chased blocks of hundreds of tons, are
in the market for 1000 to 1000 ton lots.
The prices for finished iron and steel in
the West are up from 81 to So per ton,
with further advances imminent. The
East is following slowly, and in some
markets, like the structural trade in
New York, no rise whatever has oc-
Cured, either by Western or Eastern
mills.
The steel rail trade is in better shape,
although current reports are exagger-'
ated. Up to May LIST, the sales aggre-
gated about 100000 tons, while the
deliveries footed up to about $50, 900,
the April sales being about 10000 tons,
while the deliveries were 100000 tons.
This is certainly very substantial i'm
provement over 1894.
The wire industry is quite active.
There has been a sharp advance in all
nails.
In the foundry iron business there
has been much activity in the West and
a very decided hardening in the East.

The matter of giving residents Of the

brought into the city.
In order to ascertain the needs Of the
new citizens Chief of Police Dolan and
Fire-Alarm Superintendent Aydon made
tour of the district wednesday after
noon by direction of the Police Board.
After the ground had been gone over
it was the opinion of the officials
that three policemen will be needed for
the district, and that 1t will be incum'
bent on the commission to put up one
fire and two police telegraph boxes.
The opinion of the city solicitor was
asked, and he decided that the step
be taken as soon as practicable.
With three officers on foot 1t will be
hard matter 10 give proper protection,
and there is some talk of urging on the
commissioners the necessity OF having

Police Commissioner Pyle told re-

One Of the officials of the department
advocates mounting eight men, one fol
night duty aud one for day duty on
each of four districts. as follows From
Eastlake TO Landlith station, from South
Wilmington to South Market street
from Browntown TO Silverbrook, and
from the latter section 10 and including
the Highlands.
This step will not be taken for at leas
year, however, from obvious reason.
II has also been suggested that there
should be sub.station somewhere il
