Board.

Escanaba, Mich, Sept. "a. - The
schooner E. r. Williams, iron ore laden,
from this port to Toledo, sank Sunday

for any of3the crew to reach shore in the
big sea. The cargo of the Williams was
$40 tons of ore. She was built in 1873
and rated 293 tons. She belonged to

STRIKE on THE WABASH.

Dispatch this afternoon declares that
there is big strike brewing on the
Wabash railroad which threatens to tie
up the entire system from Toledo to Kan,

IRON SITUATION PULLING.
Unable to Tell Where the Product Goes
-Boom in steel Rai1s.


New York, Sept. 26.-The Iron Age
says that the question Of supply of
raw material is the one uppermost in
the mines Of the managers Of the largest
interests in the country. The coke Situa-
ton has improved The ore situation is
decidedly clearer, at least SO far as for
eign supplies are concerned.
The furry in Bessemer pig in Pitts
burg is now pretty well over. Alto
gether, all the great concerns have con
tinued eager purchasers of ore and pig
and are evidently securing supplies as
far ahead as they can get them.
On a small business, the billet mar
ket has gone off about ST per ton from
the highest point, largely through the
offering of small lots by brokers. 1t is
not quite clear whether this covers re-
sales by large consumers or whether it
is done for a temporary effect. Wire
rods have been quiet for a considerable
time.
In the East the most disquieting feat
ure has been the appearance of a large
Pittsburg concern as q sharp competitor
for small lots in the face of recent pro-
teStations that the mills were crowded
with work for months to come. One
Eastern mill has also reappeared on the
scene.
Taking it altogether, the situation is
puzziing 1t has been difficult to Under
stand where all the product turned out
goes to in the absence Of good railroad
demand, and yet the interests are scram-
bling for raw material. 1t can only be
explained by assuming that important
developments in steel rails are pending.

the time and after a little private con-
sultation decided it would be Of value to
the defense. When they left the church
they took the board with them, and by
the writing on it will try to prove much
that may be of a damaging character
against the minister. The board con-
tains the following notice, which was
written in chalk by DR.. Gibson: The
pastor will see visitors downstairs after
services"
This board was frequently placed in
the lobby of the church on Sundays.
During the week it was kept in the bel
fry landing. During the preliminary eX-
animation of the Minnie Williams case
the defense requested DR.. Gibson to
write the names of George King and
Prof. Schernstein. They are the names
that We're found on the paper lncloslns
Blanche Lamont's rings. 1t was the in
tention of the defense to produce the
names written by DIR. Gibson and COM
pare the writing with that on the paper
and wrapper sent to Mrs. Noble. The
lawyers of the defense will spend con-
siderable time comparing the two specl-
mems of handwriting. They will claim
that the person who wrote the names on
the paper which inclosed the rings and
on the paper sent to Mrs. Noble are the
same.
DR.. Gibson is prepared for the attack
by the defense. He would not discuss
the subject, but his secretary, Robert
n. Lynch, said: ''The writing on the pa
per inclosing the rings and that on the
wrapper are no way like the penman-
ship of Dr. Gibson. The address on the
wrapper is printed. The only similarity
between it and DR.. Gibson's writing is
that the doctor writes a clear hand that
is so plain as to almost resemble print.
The district attorney and the police
scott at the attempt made by the defense
in the Durrant case to cast suspicion
upon DR.. Gibson. They said, in response
to question, that no order would be is
sued for the clergymans arrest. Rev.
Gibson himself denied that he had writ
charged by Attorney Deuprey In ref
erence to an Omaha dispatch stating
that Durrant is known to have received
a letter from Blanche Lamont the day
after she disappeared, Mr. Deurpey said
he knew nothing Of such letter.

VALKYRIE TO RACE AGAIN.
Ready to Meet the Defender in Spe-
cial Runs at Any Time
q or Place.

New York, Sept. 26.-Lord Dunraven's
object in having the Valkyrie III. spend
the winter on this side of the Atlantic
is to have her race again and incidental
ly, it is said, to silence those Of his critics
who have asserted that he was afraid
to have his yacht meet the Defender
again. The fact that the Valkyric is
to race here again next year if opDor-
tunity offers was made public today by
II. Maitland Kersey, who has acted as
Lord Dunravens spokesman.
"'Fhere has been a great deal Of talk
about special races between the two yes
sels.' he said, "and if anybody wants
Valkyrie to race she will be on hand.
If the Defender goes to the Mediterra-
mean. the Vaikyrie will 20 there also"

MARCH ON HAVANA.
Cuban Revolutionsts Are Only
Seventy Miles from
the Capital.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 24.-The Chicago
Tribune has the following from its Gu
ban correspondent: ''Armed parties Of
revolutionists are already in the province
of Matanzas and actually within seven
ty-fve miles of the city of Havana.
For a long time this Will be denied,
and as news of other attacks arc re-
ceived they will be either suppressed
or twisted into stories of mere predatory
bands of evildoers, having no real con-
nection with the revolution, until the
facts become impossible of further con-
cealment.
'"The west end Of the island will soon
be the scene of the uprising. This seems
improbable, but I have it on the best au-
thority.
"When this fact develops the formula
BILE nature of the revolution will be-
come apparent. With armed forces on
both sides of Havana it would require
not $4,000 but 100000 Spanish troops
to keep the revolutionists in check.
Martinez Campos is at once hiding
the truth of defeat and disaster and
creating belief in the immense power
of his troops. He is a smart man, that
Martinez Campos. Too much truth
leaked out when he was so badly de-
feated at Peralejo and retreated to Bay

TEXAS OFFICERS PLANS.
Scheme to Make the Fight Manage

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. PA special from
Austin, Tex, says that it was learned
last hight that AttorneyG General Crane

to restrain the Corbett-Fitzsinmon

ton, which he doubtless will, then the
fight management in self-defense must
appeal the matter to the court Of crina-
inal appeals with a full bench and thus
play directly into the hands Of the state,
because to get it before this full bench
for decision is exactly what the state

70 accept Judge Hurts opinion as final
