Iron Trade Review.

Cleveland, June 20-The Iron Trade
Review says today: Under the IN
creased demand and the advancing
prices that have been the burden of the
iron market reports for nearly two
months, the trade has now reached
point at which there is more of dispo-
sition among buyers and sellers to let
events determine the next step. The
week has brought the announcement or
further advance of so cents in southern
iron, making gray forges $7-75 at Bir-
mingham and No. 2 foundry $S.25. There
has also come the formal advance of
So in steel rails anticipated for some
time, taking effect July l. In BeSSemer
pig, in billets and in the various pro-
ducts of steel mills prices are practical

are firmly held.
There has been much encouragement
in the splendid expansion of demand no.
ticed since the beg inning of May without
any special help from the railroads. The
railroads must be depended on for any
further gain that may be in store for
the iron trade.
Latest crop advices continue favor

for custom there is a disposition to wait
until they are fairly swamped with
freight before they begin negotiations
with car shops.
In Bessemer pig iron the week has
brought comparatively light business,
with valley furnaces maintaining the
$12 figure and buyers unsuccessfully
trying to close at lower figure for the
second half of the year. Sales at $12.65

strength, but some requirements for

ported at S1S.75 and S19 Pittsburg.
In the Cleveland district July deliv-
cries are refused by the mills and pur-
chases through second hands for July

Montgomery, June 20.
The well-known case of Kennedy VS..
First National bank of Tuscaloosa, being
a claim for homestead exemptions, which
has been pending in the supreme
court for a long time, was finally deter
mined today in favor of the claimant,
John S. Kennedy. This will be leading
case in this state, because it finally set
ties the right of an impoverished person,
when fraud is charged. to claim and get
a homestead, as exempt to himself and
family.
The supreme court was not unanimous
in it's conclusion, and Judge Mcclellan
delivered long and able opinion for the
majority of the court favorable to the ex-
emption while Judge Coleman read his
own views to the contrary. This case
has been in the courts several years
and has been stubbornly litigated.
Attorney-General Fits represented the
Attorney-General Fits represented the
claimant, Kennedy, and Messrs. Caba-
Miss and Weakley represented the

A Romantic Wedding.

An exceedingly romantic marriage
took place yesterday evening at about
z o'clock, at Speigner's, a small station
on the Louisville and Nashville railroad
near this city, between Mr.. Linn Ed
wards and Miss Carrie Sedberry, two
very prominent and popular young so
ciety people of Wetumpka. The story
goes that the young lady's father was
the objecting party and it was he who
placed all the instructions in the way of
the marriage. He had no objections to
Mr.. Edwards, but did not wish his
daughter to marry any one. The young
couples runaway plans fell through not
less than three times inside of two hours,
but they had gone into the game to win
and that is just what they did; and fin
ally, with the help of trains, hand cars,
buggies, wagons and the counting of
cross ties they arrived at Speigner's
ahead of the irate father, a license pro-
cured and the knot tied by Rev. M. Shell
ton.
The couple came on to Montgomery
last night and are stopping with DR.. and
Mrs B. P. Ivey, waiting for the war
clouds to pass away and for Mr.. Sed-
berry to come and say, BLESS you, my
children"

The Struggle in the East.

The approach of warmer weather will,
undoubtedly, see the campaign Of the
japanese forces against China pushed
with renewed yigor. The Chinese gov
eminent would, it was thought. take adj
vantage of the enforced lull in active hos
tilities which the winter would necessi-
tate, to increase her forces, and put them
into a better state of efficiency. 1t is
true that strong efforts have been made
in this direction; but they do not appear
to have been very successful. The fact
is that the Chinese people have very little
mate loyalty to the present Tarter dyn-
asty, and consequently little or no heart
tions understand the word, appears to be
almost unknown to them. The Japanese
way of conquest has been unexpectedly
easy. With returning spring China ap-
pears to be i'll little if any better cundi-
ton of defense. Even the Son of
Heaven" who, not many months ago,
gave orders to his generals to sweep the
pestilential japanese from their lairs
appears to have reached the conclusion
that unless peace is speedily concluded,
it is only question of short time when
Picking, the capital of this great Empire,
will be in the possession of the japanese
forces. 1t is, probably, the appreciation of
this fact that has led him to appoint Ii

all the Chinese statesmen, as a special
envoy clothed with full power. to arrange
terms of peace with the Japanese govern.
mcnt. There is reason to hope that this
appointment may prove satisfactory to
Japan, and a speedy cessation of hostilities
brought about. European people have
been at a loss, many times, to understand
the motives underlying the actions OF
Japan-especially as regards the refusal
TO confer with former peace ENJOYS ap-
pointed by China. This is, probably
due to closer understanding of Chinese
character, than is possessed by the people
of Western nations Japan knows by ex-
perience. how little regard the Chinese

The government Of Greece is passing
through political crisis, and, as is the
case in other countries, the financial
question is the one causing the agita
ton. Finding the ministry in disfavol
with the people and anticipating its dis
missal by the King the Premier M. Tri
coupis, rendered his resignation of the
premiership This movement was prob
ably fastened by the action of the
Crown Prince who showed the sympathy
of the royal family with the people by
appearing at q public meeting at Athens
held for the purpose of protesting against
increased taxation proposed by the min
istry, and assuring the assembly that
his heart was with them. Prince Cor
stantine is the Oldest son of King George
1. and Queen Olga, and was married
October 20, 1889, to the Princess Sophie
of Prussia, who is the aunt of the EN-
peror of Germany.

oughly cold blooded and treacherous is
Chinese character
The spectacle of great nation ignoring
flags of truce, and all the amenities OF
civilized warfare, beheading its unsuccess-
ful soldiers even when they fought val
iently, is certainly not one to win the
sympathies of Christian nations. There
is growing feeling that the opportunity
of forcing China out of the barbaric ruts
of antiquity, afforded by the present war
should not be lost, and as the contest is
prolonged there is a growing disposition
upon the part of other powers, notably
England and Russia, to take hand IN
it. The partition of the Chinese Empire
would be the division of an exceedingly
rich spoil, and while there would be
slight grounds of defense of such a
course, it is nevertheless a truth, many
times enforced by past history, that peo-
pies who could not stand civilization
have, sooner or later been forced to make
way for it.
