THE IRON TRADE.
Mr.. Frederick e. Perkins Says That II Is
Fat,

The condition OF the iron trade may
almost be taken as an indication of gen
-eral business Ii is hard TO conceive of
any enterprise which does not involve the
use of this metal, and for big building
concerns and railroad extensions II Is the
first commodity called Tor, hence the rule
of business men TO draw their concln-
sions from the state OF the iron trade,
and that trade now is very fiat.
On an average the Increase for each
year In the iron business has boon IL per
cent. Mr.. Z. Il. Perkins DOUBTS II tbat
is maintained by this years record.
In 1895 the production OF pig iron in
tons of 22i0 pounds was 8, 4i6, ,tOo and the
value was S1U5, l9s. $50.
This meant gain OF considerably over
IL rer cent. for that year, the Increased
output follow ing as the natural result OF
the retrenchment in 1894 The declining
tendency in iron and stoei that year was
changed in 1895 to the most remarkable
increase in the production ot pig iron in
the history of tho country.
The table of iron production and values
for the past 10 years IS as follows:

orders occurred at the Brown hosting

clubs and felled to the ground. &. w.
Jackson, one OF the unfortunate men
whe was attacked by crowd OF union
men, received no less than 10 knife cuts
on the face and body and had three ribs
broken For q time the police. who
were greatly outnumbered by the rioters,
were unable to cope with the mob. The
officers on duty around tho works were
finally reinforced, however, and succeeded
in driving the enraged strikers back and
rescuIng the non -Qnion men.
After the police had Quelled the trouble
quiet prevailed around the works. Two

An lronwood, Mich, report says that
great depression in the iron trade, as
well as the laying of of hundreds OF
men in the mines OF the Gogebic range
In he past two weeks, has made every
body anxious. Nearly all the iron mines
OF the upper peninsula have now large
piles OF ore already mined, and, unless
II is shipped 1t will mean q winter OF
idleness among the miners. The present
depression is caused ty the advance In
the price OF ore made Nv the pool OF
mine owners last spring, and the deter
mination of the Carnegie company not to
buy its ore at the advance. Smaller
Pittsburg manufacturers dare not buy
unless Carniege sets the pace.
The demand Is dull for scrap iron, the
principal mills using it being idle, for
time at least: No. wrought iron and
old horseshoes, ,40ai5c; No. I, cast scrap,

The Chronicle Thinks 1t Means Arbi-
tration In Some Form.
LONDON, Jan. 27.--The Chronicle, in
an editorial on Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain statement of the Vene-
zuelan question made in a speech at
Birmingham Saturday night, says:
We must regard this statement as ex-
pressing the deliberate conclusions of
the government and it seems to render
arbitration in some form or other abso-
lutely unavoidable.
An article in another part of The
Chronicle declares that all the recent
evidence of rapproachment between
England and America leave the essen
tial heart of the matter untouched.
The effects of the increase of mutual
kindliness are being allowed to evapor-
ate, says The Chronicle, and while from
every point of the European horizon
great anxiety and possible peril con-
front us, the golden moments for per-
manent peace with America are slip
ping by. If the government of which
Chamberlain is SO brilliantly successful
member would forget minor matters
and boldly conclude an arbitration
treaty with America, the spectacle Mr..
Chamberlain pictured of the two peo-
Piles rescuing Armenia instead of being
an ideal might become within short
time world shaking fact.

Murphy. fireman detailed for duty at
the National theatre where James j.
Corbett is now playing, came into
lively contact with the pugilist, and
both men were badly battered before
the trouble was over, Murphy smelled
cigarette smoke and traced it to Cor
belts room, which he entered.
II just stopped to tell you that
smoking is against the rules, Mr.. Cor
bett," said Murphy.
"No one is smoking here" said Cor
bett, but he was unable to conceal the
smoke that came from under his coat.
"Why, you are smoking yourself,
said Murphy, Indignantly. -
Corbett sprang up, showed Murphy
out of the room and slammed the door.
The fireman
Threw All His Weight Against the Door
just as Corbett opened it, and Murphy
staggered half way across the room,
and before he could recover himself
Corbett struck him twice. Murphy
came back with a blow ON Corbett's
mouth that brought the blood in
stream The fireman then started
down stairs, but Corbett caught him be-
hind threw him down and kicked him.
Murphy then started down again, Cor
bett following. Murphy grabbed Cor
bett around the legs and pulled his feet
from under him, letting the pugilist
slide bumpety- bump down the stairs.
When the pugilist had reached tho
bottom he was frantic with rage and
again attacked Murphy, but the men
were soon separated. Corbett's mouth
was very badly swollen and Murphy
was badly hurt in the back where Cor
bett kicked him. The fireman is little
fellow, much smaller than Corbett.

Of the foreign affairs committee on Ar

lomatic and consular appropriation bill,
which will be taken up Immediately
afterward. This bill will open the
gates to general debate on foreign af-
fairs and complications in all parts of
the world. The general impression is
that the whole week will be consumed
in disposing of it, but if any time re-
mains it will probably be devoted to the
District of Columbia appropriation bill,
which the appropriations committee ex-
poets to have ready on Wednesday or
Thursday.

thought were perpetrated upon him,
Patrick Mcmahon, son of rich ex-car-

poisoned his mother and separated him
from his father. Mcmahon was COM
mitted without bail in Yorkvilie court
by Magistrate Simms on charge of
felonious assault. Mrs. Sexton was
found unconscious on pile of bedding
and died later The uncle was able to
identify the prisoner as his assailant.
1t is believed Mcmahon is insane.
