The report made by r. G. Dun & Co.'S
trade review, showing an activity in le-
climate business transactions during the
past month, little short of that during
April, 1892, the year of the largest bust
ness, emphasizes the cheerfulness of the
present business outlook and points to the
conclusion that the good times which have
been predicted through many weary
months Of waiting are at least in sight

COMMENTS.
"~rhait's qhe greatest thing to happen
in Birmingham for ten years." said Mr..
b. F. Roden as he watched the molten
metal flow from the chute into the ingot(
mods. "A new child has been born to the
Industries of 9his section and he is des-
tined. to bring pride and fortune to this
industrial family. In one year from now
you will see these grass plots and groves
from here to ,,ihe mountain blossoming
with neat cottages dnhabited by pros
porous workingmsn. This is indeed a
great day for Birmingham"
IF that steel tests as well as it shows
up physically in the run Birmingham is
destined to be the great city of the
SOUTH"
The speaker was Col Joseph Bryan, of
Richmond, Va, a gentlsman largely in
terested in properties in and about Bir-
mirgham.
II am not an expert in steel produc-
tions," he continued, "but I am sure that
this first run of steel means more to Biz
mingham than her first iron furnace did
many years ago. If you can make steel
AIT aTl-and think this demonstrates it
you can make it cheaper than any other
point in America. The full result is but a
matter of time"
Mr.. Bryan is a newspaper man as Wi
as capitalist. He is the owner and
editor of the Richmond Times More
than that, he is the owner of the only
newspaper ever published in Virginia
Yet that is not the Times. In that he he $
followed provincial lines. He putrishss

INTERSTATE DRILL.

Mcrtons Cadets Put Up a Supurb Drill
and May Win First Place.
San Antonio, July 22--This was gov
ernor's day at the interstate drill and a
large crowd attended. The interest was
in the interstate drill for the Interstate
championship Between the governors
guard of Texas and Morton's cadets of
Washington. Both companies underwent
a rigid inspection in the morning and
drilled in the afternoon. The governors
guards inspection was almost perfect.
The MoTtcn's inspection was perfect so
far as uniforms, guns and accoutremsnts
We're concerned but the men did mot
handle themselves as we'll as was expect
ed. Four of the men tainted and were
taken off the field. During the drill the
Mortons showed up superbly and went
through The programme almost without
an error. Their drill is regarded as the
best this far and If their inspection does
not count too heavily against them they
are almost certain of winning first place.
The turf exchange, which has book on
the dril1. refused all bets on the Mortons
after their drill. Four companies of
United States soldiers under command of
Lfeur.-Col W'hitssides, Fifth cavalry,
gave beautiful extended order and calls
thenie drill to order all commands being
sounded by the band. The Waco cycle
corps gave an interesting exhibition drill
mounted on bicycles.

LOOKS SERIOUS.
Operators Preparing for Trouble That
- May Occur at Any Moment
~ = To Test the Law.

Pittsburg, July 22.-Excitement was at
high pitch in local coal mine circles
tonight. The operators were evidently
preparing for a demonstration and be-
fore niehtfaHs they were convinced mat
tiers had taken a serious turn. About
nightfall about 500 miners from the Fin
layson district marched upon the Bunoi
mines on the river and succeeded in
bringing the men out. Sheriff Tower,
of this county, has a force of deputies
ready for duty at a moments notice and
trouble Is looked for al any time.
A march upon Turtle Creek, Plum
Creek and Sandy Greek mines is expected
at any moment 1t was learned from re-
liable authority that such march was
in contemplation, but would not take
place until the latter part of the week.
At Cannonsburg it was reported that
1000 men would march upon the Cooks
mines tomorrow and stay until the
miners came out. The sheriff of Wash
ington county was on hand with large
number Of deputies and trouble was eX-
peeted If the strikers forced the men to
quit work.
The strikers Leaders con dnue in the en-
deavUr to. ga, the miners at UniontOwn
out, but dispatches from Dunbar say tina t
they are meeting with poor success. The
miners are very much dishear TT; ned and
admit priya ely that they have failed
to create any strike sympathy. The Red
stone MINERS III is cha lmeu, VIII De Dack
next wsek. Dunbar d.spa tches say there
is very little prcba biEty that the coke
region will become factor in the strike.
The new. stare law compelling coal oper-
aItoIs to weigh the coal before 1t is screen
ed and to pay the, miners on this basis
Is to be tested to It's fullest exten: and
The whole uniformity agreement hinges
on this SIT.
The arbitrators were at work among
the P.ttsburg operato tors today and they
are trying every means to bring about a
meeting of opepators. So far they have
been unsuccessful in bringing about a
meeting, but it is hoped to accomplish
this shortly. A Wheeling dispatch says
the miners at the Bcggs mine refused to
come out wher requested by a commit
Tee of strikers to do so today and arrange
ments are being made for a demonstra-
ton of strikers tomorrow. While it is de-
elarei to be. a peaceful demonstration
another refusal to come out may precipi-
tatla trouble

SENSATIONAL CASE.
Alleged conspdrafors on Trial for

Alleged Conspdrafors on Trial for Manu-
featuring Evidence.
Norfolk, Va, July 22.-The trial of Jo-
seph Cannon. James Hall and Willie
Smith for conspiracy to ruin the charac-
rof Cannon's wife, to manufacture evil
dence to be used in divorce proceedings,
was Resumed before Judge Tomlinson
this morning. A sensation was sprung
at.the opening of the session by the sur
render of Hall by his bondsmen. The
evidence today was highly sensational.
1t was proved that Cannon had said in
house of ill-fame not more than a weah
after his marriage that he hated his
wife,. A day or two later he declared
positively that he intended to procure a
divorce and that he would resort to any
means to accomplish that end Contrary
to expectations, Smith did not turn state
evidence. The evidence was closed this
afternoon ard argument for the prosecu-
ton was made by the commonwealth at
torney. Several counsel will spsak to-
morrow. 1t is expected that the argu-
ment will be concluded during the day.
