Some Industrial notes OF an interesting
character concerning Russia are furnished
by Consul Morris In his report to the
State Department. Among the data thus
presented is the remarkable fact that.
while the production Of pig-iron In 1881
amounted to 1850 tons. In 1893 It had
increased to 1,27S350 tons. this industry
having especially developed in Southern
Russia, where the works. situated near
the rich mineral DEPOSITS OF .vorog.
are abundantly supplied with combustible
material. The manufacture of iron has in
creased from 323. 200 tons. In 1880. TO 49,,
500 tons in 1893, and In the same period
the production of steel has grown from
33s.s5O tons to 53s,050 tons. The quantity OF
rails produced has increased only $500
tons: but Of the 10000 tons manufactured
I'm 1880, 1860 tons were made from i'm
ported pig-iron, the remainder being pro-
duced by Russian establishments from
Russian raw material.

STOPPING ON THE NEAR SIDE.
This Custom Said to HIVE Originate ed
in Baltimore.
Baltimore American

Baltimore American
When the history of street railways is
written an interesting historical fact will
he that the custom of stopping the cars on
the near side originated i'll Baltimore. A
gentleman who had been a street car di-
rectors for many years was sitting in the
American office, and in the course of con-
versation the numerous collisions at the
intersections OF street car lines was men,
toned. A particularly destructive case
had taken place ut the corner of Charles
and Preston streets. He expressed the con-
riciion that nearly al of these were caused
by the cars rushing across instead of
stopping on the near side. The matter
was considered and the result was an
article in the American next morning.
Following the article came the ordinance
IN the city council and its prompt passage.
At first the people did not like the change.
1t was confusing and troublesome, but
gradually they came to it, and there is no
one who would return to the old order.
The ORDINANCE has literally saved hundreds
of lives and prevented hundreds of collisions.
After it was adopted the collisions almost
eea scd.
For more than n year BALTIMORE was
alone in the change. But the wisdom
of the new law spread. and many cities
have followed its example. Chicago was one
of them. All have continued the rule, but
the Chicago papers that reached us yester-
day gave columns to the fact that the board
of aldermen, by a vote of SO 10 %. repealed
the ordinance and revived the old custom of
stopping on the far side. This was the
reason advanced by Alderman Hepburn:
at would do in cities where there are no
long trains of cars but you must remember
that in this city two, three or four coaches
follow the grip-car, and passengers on the
last car must alight in the middle OF the
block, In the outlying wards. where the
streets are muddy nine months in the year.
this is a great nuisance" The new plan
had been Oh trial only n month, and in the
worst season of the year. Perhaps the
special circumstances in Chicago may
make the return to the old way desirable,
but IL is not likely that other cities which
have made the change will follow in
Chcago's footsteps.
