BRITISH SEEEL AND IRON
See Themselves Menaced by American Ores
and Methods.

London, Eng, April IA column article
in the Times points to the perils in pros
pect for the British iron and steel indus
tries. The article, which is based on the
Duke of Devonshire's address at the an
nual meeting of a steel company at Bar
row-in-Furness, dilates on the fact that,
for the first time in the history of her iron
trade, Great Britain has felt a scarcity OF
ores, and the demolariZing effect of the i'm
ports of American pig iron having increas-
ed. the British output of pig iron in 1896
was only obtained by importing a million
tons of hematite ore from Spain and other
countries.
such sources are precarious." the Times
add. land in view of the threatened ex-
haustion of the ores in the north of Spain
and the probable increase of the cost of
ores procurable elsewhere, it is not too
much to say that almost every irOn-mak-
ing firm in Great Britain engaged in he
MATTE production. which is nearly half our
total output, is anxiously concerned and ap
prehensive that few years will see the
end of the monopoly we have hitherto en-
joyed in cheap iron output, while, how
ever, it is probable that Spain still base
large undeveloped resources in ores. many
of which have been acquired by British
firms
The Duke of Devonshire referred to the
astonishing cutting in prices by American
competition and expressed hope that the
Americans might be satisfied TO confine
most of their fighting to their own coun-
try.
This caused the Times TO remark:
The American iron trade does not show
any such intention. On the contrary. they
are planning greater rivalry all along the
line"
Continuing, the Times refers TO the gi-
gantic scale of the American making plants
now built and operated. and instances the
immense Carnegie furnaces and the new
est type of the Garrett wire mill used IN
America, and says the work thus produced
is almost incredible, adding, as a signifi-
cant feature of the situation, the state
ment that the recent plants built In Ire
land have adopted American methods.
while the Duke OF Devonshire,' the
Times continus, practically admitted
American superiority. he did not mention
the most wonderful thing. the immense dis
tances the ores and finished products have

Is still handicapped by heavy railway

BRITISH PRESS URGES DECENCY
In Dealing With the Situation In South

London, Eng, April 17.-Sir Alfred Mil

night. owing to the gravity of the situa-

The debate in the Cape Town house of
assembly urging the adoption of policy

troduced yesterday, has been adjourned
until Wednesday next, and is awaited with
great anxiety.
1t is 'rumored that President Kruger has
intmated his intention to grant the fran
chise TO Uitlanders after four years RESI-
dence in the Transvaal and to grant them
partial franchise at the expiration Of two
years residence. The National Observer
demands that the government tell the coun-
try plainly whether it possesses, as it
seems to hint, proofs of German designs
and aggression in South Africa.
The Saturday Review thinks the govern
ment is still advised 10 try TO bluff or force
President Kruger, adding that 1t would be
better TO approach him amicably.

Corbett, though without the latter's
snowy boxing. Another thing upon
which 1 based my opinion was the fact
that Fltz had been fighting all the time,
consequently learning, while Corbett had
but one real fight in his entire career,
that with jackson, thus deteriorat:ng.
I won $1,000 on the fight, but lost half

Asked his opinion of young Corbett,
who defeated Billie Smith. at Carson
during the recent fstic carnival, ne said
that Green was composed OF good raw
material, and would some day be al the
top.
Did you see Senator ingalls, at Carson
City, Jack?"
Yes, sat right behind him, and to the
right of Mrs. Fitzsimmons. He seemed
10 enjoy it immensely. though he de-
clared after the fight that ne did not care
TO see another. My private opinion is
that ne was a Corbett admirer. and was
chagrined at the defeat of his idol Did
you hear about the way the dead games
got sore on Ingalls?"
The reporter shook his head, and Jack
said: well, It was just this way. In
preliminary write up to mis- papers the
senator used the expression iii had been
bruited about and most of the guys
thought that he meant they were brutes

Berlin, April 17.-Prince Hohenlone,
the imperial chancellor, the correspond
ent of the Associated Press understands,
in a letter dated from Baden-Baden,
April 10, forwarded his resignation to
Emperor William. A brisk exchange OF
Geographic messages followed His ma
;asty insisted upon the chancellor re-
tanning Office for the present, in spite OF
the cogent reasons cited in Prince Ho-
henlone's letter, urging that his resisna-
ton at this juncture would most seri-
ously embarrass the emperor.
Prince Hohenlohe again and again in
sisted that, apart from other serious rea-
sons, his health just now is Of the worst.
Then, the prince suddenly went to Paris,
where his wife had preceded him.
As his reasons for his resignation,
Prince Hohenlohe urges his inability ID
carry out his solemn premise 10 submit
TO the reichstag and to the diet two bills,
ane placing the Prussian law regulating
political meetings upon a more liberal
snd modern basis, and the other reform
Ing the procedure of military trials. The
princes inability TO carry out his
promise is said TO be due 10 the eX-
IRENE react:onary attitude Of Baron Won

sian minister for the interior. At this
moment it is impossible TO say how the
crisis will end; but, in view Of the critical
