MIR. BOWRON PROTESTS.
A Press Telegram Regarding ths Shipment of Iron Subjects the Tennessee Company
 to Unnecessary Annoyance.

Mr J. Bowron. treasurer of the Tennes- see Coal, Iron and Railroad company, handed State Herald reporter the fol- lowing clipping, which he says is incor- rect:
 Birmingham, Ala, June 9.-One of the most important deals in pig iron ever made here was closed today when the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad com pany concluded negotiations with an Ital- ian steel-making concern at Genoa, Italy. to supply them annually for a term of years with 50,000 tons of Alabama pig. The sale was made in competition with English iron makers, who have heretofore been supplying the Genoa parties, the Alabama company being able to underbid the British makers. The sale is the re- suit of the discovery that low silicon iron adapted to steel production can be made by a new process from the ordinary red ores which abound hereabout."
 MT. Bowron further said in reference to the matter: "Such reports are wrong, and are calculated to do harm instead of good"
 The following letter from MT. Bowron explains away the Associated Press tele- gram:
 Birmingham, June 15, 1896. Birmingham State Herald, City:
 Who is the representative of the Asso- clated Press? Based upon the informa- tion l gave you of the shipment of a sam- pie car load to parties who use 50000 tons per year, an Associated Press telegram has been sent all over the country stating that we have contracted to furnish 50,000 tons year for term of years to cus- toner in Genoa. We are being inundated with letters on the subject containing of fers of steamships, requests for business in the way of insurance, banking and other things, and in view of the excited 0f 4 l1n ctn t.1r rot at nnf 1t is particularly disagreeable to have in- correct statements of this sort sent out concerning our business, for people. who operate unsuccessfully are very liable to tax us with manufacturing false informal tion to affect the market. Yours truly,

A CANAL COMBINE
Said the Panama and Nicaragua
Companies Have Joined >,.-
Issues.
The Panama Company Gets Out
Of an Uncomfortable
Position,
And the Nicaragua Company
Will Have a Monopoly of
Business.

NEW YORK, March "A dispatch
from Paris says; A startling and un-
expected solution of the Panama canal
problem is presented as possibility of
the near future. This is in the form of
consolidation of the Panama canal
company with the Nicaragua canal
company. 1t is learned that the presi.
dent of the latter corporation, Mr.. J.
r. Bartlett, who has just left Paris, en-
route for America. bears with him an
agreement for the fusion of the two
companies. This agreement was for
mally signed here, but is not conclu-
sive 1t is understood that it will be-
come operative on behalf of the Panama
company when concurred in by the
directors of the Nicaragua Canal COM
pany in New York.
What the Deal Provides.
1t provides for the absorption of the
Panama franchise and assets, includ.
ing the railway across the isthmus. The
French company is to receive SUBJ
stantial sum of money and stock in the
American corporation, which will pro-
ceed to pierce the isthmus via Lake
Nicaragua. The inducements to the
Panama people, besides the material
considerations were an honorable relief
from ever recurring turmoil over the
affairs, and the presentation to their
shareholders of an interest in a more
vital concern.
The Nicaragua representatives ON
their part claim to derive great advan-
tage from the removal Of possible
future competitor. and the securing of
a monopoly of the waterway between
the two oceans. With this change in
the situation the many bankers of
Great Britain and the continental GEN.
tiers, as well as of America are prepared
to float the Nicaragua company bonds.

JEFFERSON, Wis, March al. M,
Smith, secretary, treasurer and super

wounded by an unknown man. Off,
GERS pursuing the assassin surrounded
him in the factory, and, after shots
were exchanged. the building was fired
and the plant and the assassin were
consumed together.
At 7 o'clock, when Mr. Smith started
to go through the factory, man
stepped from behind door and fired
three times at him, one shot taking
effect in the head and the other in the
shoulder. A crowd quickly assembled
and officers started to explore the build
ing for the man, when he fired several
shots at his pursuers from the third
floor. Whether the powder from the
pistol or a match in the hands of one of
the angry crowd set fire to the manu-
featuring plant is not known, but in
three minutes the building was a mass
of flames. The would be murderer was
not seen to escape and there is no doubt
he was burned alive. Mr.. Smith can
not live The cause of the shooting
and the identity of the murderer are

MADRID, March 2.-The impartial,
referring to the action of the United
States senate in regard to Cuba, says
that the international situation is very

the Cubans as belligerents by the

The Imparcial also accuses the Span

"Spain," continues The impartial,
''must prepare for every eventuality.
Our maritime resources are not great,
but we have not before us q gigantic
naval power. Our humility has been
badly construed, and our enemy, in
stead of being appeased, thinks she
