The Washington Senator'S Naval Meas
ure Meets Approval.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Gen. Francis
Walker, president Of the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology, has written a
very earnest letter in support of Sena-
tor Squire's naval engineering and edu-
cational measure. He declares that
anyone must be impressed with the
fact that the Squire bill deeply con
Germs the defense Of the country. He
maintains that the condition Of the
corps of naval engineers, by reason of
having an insufficient number Of Off
GERS. is most painful and distressing,
and affects the honor Of the nation. He
therefore appeals to the congress of the
United States to give immediate con-
sideration to the organization of the
corps of naval engineers.

THE IRON Trade REVIEW.

Reduction Man facturs "f Pig Iron
Conceded to Ise Necessary.
CLEVELAND. Jan. 1O.-The Iron Trade
Review says a reduction of the make Of
pig iron everywhere conceded to be
necessary to an improvement in prices,
is already in progress. In the past 10
days eight furnaces in the Shenango
valley have either been blown out or
banked, one of the Mahoning valley,
one at Pittsburg, two furnaces of the
Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railway COM
pany, and one Of the Sloss Iron and
Steel company. The weekly output Of
iron is now fully 5000 tons less than
the rate in the last week in December,
and furnaces to be put idle in the COM
ing week will work a further reduc-
ton. Labor troubles in some, 81 coke
in other cases, and in still others the
unwilhugness to pile iron and add to
the already heavy accumulation OF
metal, account for the restrictive
movement which will help to restore
ar equilibrium between furnace output
and that Of mills, foundries and steel
works. The past week SO far a prices
and sales 60, has not differed from its
predecessors. Buyers are holding of,
the few who place contracts are getting
concessions from quotations and for the
time every producer is q law to himself
in the matter of prices.

House Going East.
KANSAS CITY. Aus, 2O.-The Wabash and
Santa ZEE railroads today met the Scent rate
per 100 on lard, tallow, cleo, oil, grease and
canned meats from Kansas City to the
Mississippi made yesterday by the Alton.
The Santa Fe followed suit in part by making
the same rate on oleo, oil. lard. stearine and
tallow for export and a rate Of 1871 cents on
other packing house products. This is in
the interest of Atlantic against Gulf port
shippers and apparently is the beginning OF
another interesting freight rate war.
Western freight rates are now in a worse
condition than they have been for a long
time. The fight between the Chicago roads
and the Gulf lines for the grain traffic of the
transmissouri territory is being waged with
great bitterness and at present the Gulf
lines seem to be having the best of the
struggle. Although rates have been reduced
one-half between Chicago and the Missouri
river and one-third between Chicago and the
seabuard, there is much of the grain going
by the New Orleans and the Galveston gate
ways. The western roads do not at present
see how they can reduce rates more without
losing money and they are anxious that
their eastern connections shall come to their
relief. The latter, however, seem to be
fairly well satisfied with their action in re-
ducing the rates by one-third and the pres
ent indications are that the western roads
will be left to work out their salvation in
the best way they can.
