THE IRON TRADE REVIEW.

Cleveland, O., Nov. 1.-THE Iron Trade
Review says:
The anomaly of some phases of the
iron situation is emphasized in the cur
rent statistics of stocks and production.
The October figures showed, as those of
the few preceding months had shown,
that production of pig iron increased In
a marked degree in that month, yet
stocks continued to decrease. Coke iron
stocks fell 25, 900 tons in October, leaving
but 10000 tons, or less than weeks
supply of that iron on hand-a smaller
amount than has been reported at any
time since 1888. When it is considered
that the furnaces of the country are pro-
ducing at the yearly rate of nearly H.
100000 tons of pig iron and that at the
beginning of the month the consumption
was In excess of this rate, the inherent
strength of the situation becomes appa-
rent in spite of the evidences of weak
ness that appear in the limited business
of the past few weeks. Returns from
the districts producing the bulk of the
country's Bessemer iron shows increas-
ing production, no stocks on hand and
continued weakness in price. though
consumption is at the highest rate yet
attained. The valley price of $3.50 has
been touched on speculative Bessemer
last, week.

Fighting for the Prisoners.

Richmond, Va, Nov. H.-In the court
of appeals here today Hon. w. H. Mann
presented an application from Sheriff M.
c. Cardoza of Lunenburg for a writ of
mandamus to compel City Sergeant Epps
to deliver to him Solomon Marable, Mary
Abernaly and Pokey Banes.
President Keith asked the Judge when
the writ is to be made returnable. The
judge replied that almost any day would
suit him and Monday was suggested.
Attorney-General Scott said he could not
be here on that date
What the court will have to decide II
whether or not the city sergeant has tn
right to withhold the prisoners from tt
sheriff. If the decision is in favor of the
sheriff Mr.. Cardoza will take possession

the governor will order the military to
accompany the convicts to the Lunen-
burg court.

A SICK HEALER GONE.
Great Excitement Prevails Over the Disappear
ance of Schlatter, Who Is Wanted
as Witness.

Denver, Col, Nov. 14.-The city is wild
over the latest sensation in the Schlatter
craze. This morning when member of
the Fox family went to call the healer of
the sick for breakfast about 5 o'clock
his room was found vacant. He had
mysteriously disappeared some time dur
ing the night leaving no word behind.
Mr.. Fox came before the crowd of 5000
people that had been assembling since 8
a. m. and told them the startling news.
The crowd was astounded and was
disposed at first to disbelieve the story.
They then began to discuss the matter.
Today Schlatter was to appear before
the United States commissioner as wit
ness against the blessed handkerchief
fakirs, and the fear of becoming en-
tangled in the court proceedings Is prob
ably the real reason for the disappear
ance of the man.
+ 1t was observed yesterday that he was
growing restless under the increasing
excitement and the swelling crowd. The
craze had gone beyond his power to con-
troll, and this fact Is also believed to have
had some influence in sending him away.
Later in the morning a note from
Schlatter was found reading:
MIR. Fox: My mission is finished
The father takes me away.
'F. SCHLATTER."
1t is thought the healer is wandering
over the hills. 1t is known that he took
no money with him. Thousands of peo-
pie fiocked about the deserted cottage
this morning and the condition of the dis
appointed sick from distance is pitiable.
The United States court has issued a
subpoena for Schlatter's immediate ap-
pearance as a defaulting witness. A
search is being made for him without
success thus far. Should he be found and
10 iIad troub1a would follow so strong Is
the public belief in his honesty and sin

Gently, it is believed, the porte had no
serious notion that the powers would
take any action beyond making diplo-
matte representations, which could be
STAYED off or satisfied with promises. La
ter it was found necessary to make gen.
nine effort to put an end to the outrages
in the disturbed districts, as the powers
were becoming imperative in their de-
mands and promises were no longer
available. Accordingly the porte wired
the provincial authorities commanding
them to see to 1t that order was restored
Immediately There may have been
time when such orders could have been
carried into effect, but that period seems
to have passed away. Anyway, the in
structions sent failed to have the desired
effect, for the latest reports from Kur-
distan show that there is not the slightest
abatement of the application of the
sword and the torch upon the persons
and property of Christians. native and
foreign.
Fresh massacres are reported to have
occurred at Van, but no details have been
received. Enough is known, however, to
show that the disturbances are spread
ing over the entire province, as well as
the city of Van and that the number of
victims to the fanatical Turks and fierce
Kurds has been very large A rumor is
in circulation here today that Shakir Pa
sha, who was appointed imperial high
commissioner to enforce the Armenian re-
forms, has been recalled from Armenia
and will be appointed grand vizier.
On November IL Mr. M. A.. Jewett,
United States consul at Syvas telegraph
ed United States Minister Terrell inform
ing him that massacres of Christians by
Moslemans had begun at that place. AS
soon as he received the dispatches Mr..
Terrell hastened to the foreign office,
where he personally saw Tewfik Pasha,
minister of foreign affairs, and demanded
that adequate protection be afforded to
the United States consulate at Syvas, at
the Same time warming him in the name
of the United States that Turkey would
be held responsible if even the hair upon
the head of an American should be
touched. On November 13, Consul Jewett
advised Mr.. Terrell that there had been
a terrible massacre of Christians at
Syvas
While the massacre at Marash was In
progress the foreign missionaries were
guarded by troops in pursuance of orders
received from the porte.
The porte has written notes to the six
protesting powers In reply to the notes
of the latter demanding to know what
steps are being taken to restore order in
the disturbed districts of Armenia stat
Ing that 5000 reserves have been ordered
to proceed to Armenia at once. The gov
ernors of the various provinces, the porte
adds, report that the disturbed regions
are rapidly becoming tranquil and the
destitute are being housed and fed at the
expense of the government.

AN OUTRAGED HUSBAND.
He Shot His Wife and Paramour and Then
Shot Himself

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. 14.-An OUT
ragged husband today made desperate
effort to kill his wife and her paramour,
and in the belief that he had succeeded
fired the last ball in his revolver in his
own head. Will Bridges, the would-be
homicide, is an intelligent workingman,
whose home was made wretcbed by his
wifes free ways with other men, and
especially with Walter Hastings a young
gallant. Meeting the two together on a
much frequented street corner, the hus-
band fired two shots from bull dog re-
volver at Hastings. His wife ran between
them and his weapon was turned upon
her and two shots fired, one striking her
in the mouth. Bridges then sent the re-
naming charge into his own head, but
after entering the skull 1t glanced up
ward and passed out. Neither husband
nor wife are dangerously wounded.
