"M'K1NLEY,s FURNACE" TO BURN.
Briskness of the Iron Trade in North
 Tonawanda, N. Y.

North Tonawanda, N. Y, Oct. G. 'fMcKinley's furnace at the Tona- wanda Iron and Steel company's plant will be lighted tomorrow and a large number of men will get employment there. Everything Is in readiness for the fires to be started. Shortly after the national campaign of 1896, 1t will be remembered, furnace B at the Tona- wanda iron and steel works was con- nected with Mr. McKin1ey's home in Canton by an electric wire. At given hour the president-elect pressed the button and the electric spark kindled the fires in the immense furnace As the flames flashed from the saturated wood a rainbow was seen in the east ern sky, and it's appearance at that instant was considered as a token of prosperity. Shortly after the new furnace was lighted it was banked to allow repairs to be made William Rogers, president of the company, says that business has improved to such an extent since the election of McKin- ley that the company would have to run night and day at the plants full capacity to supply the demand

A FORGED SIGNATURE.
A Small Check With Governor Me
 Cords Name Attached.

Stephen Fairfield, young man who came here from Jerome not long ago, does not hesitate to accept chances. On Tuesday night he had a $10 check cashed at the palace. It was drawn on the Phoenix National bank and the name of Governor M. H. McCord ap- peared at the bottom. Manager Hirshfeld subsequently, doubted the genuineness of Governor McCord's s signature. The writing was ornate, while the governors style is plain, all most as plain as Col. Johnstone's, who is reckoned to be the most unassum- ing penman in this territory with the possible exception of ex-Governor Hughes, whose chirography is of such character that acquiring a mastery of it is a good deal like learning Sanskrit or Chinese.
 When morning came Fairfield real ized the importance of taking up the check before it should find it's way to the bank His next step was as bold as the original move. He went out to the governors residence and repre- sented to him that he was in urgent need of $1G. An expected remittance had not yet arrived. The governors only obligation to Fairfield is said to lie in the fact that Fairfield became an applicant for a territorial position of some kind which he has not re- ceived- However, the governor con sented to let him have the money on his arrival at the executive chambers. He changed his mind when he learned about the check. No action; has been taken in the matter yet. It is not charged that Fairfield forged the sig mature, for the handwriting is said to be unlike his.

CONFIDENT CATTLEMEN.
They Do Not Care to Sell Their Steers
 Until Spring.

While the demand fer feeders con- ffl,i5s good fn the great corn states, Fe do not anticipate any considerable hovement of cattle from Arizona this fall, says the Range News. There are several reasons for this view. Steers are comparatively scarce in the terri tory and the shortage Is generally kaown; consequently few buyers for section.
 Many Of the ranchers made the mis- take of selling or contracting their cattle too early last winter, losing several dollars per head by so doing. They are resolved not to commit the same error again and are, therefore, asking more than the buyers are will ing to give.
 Since the stockmen are generally in good circumstances, they feel inde- pendent and are not disposed to ac- .eept for their steers much less than ley expect to realize on them next bring. The majority of them do not ant to sell and are, therefore, in-
 ned to bull the market. There are,
 course, xceptions-persons who have special reasons for wanting to sell, or who are skeptical as to the ,lleged shortage of cattle; but from
 hversations with a large number of
 rrasentative srOckmen we believe
 lat the above statement describes the uation at this end of the line.

AMERICANS IN JAPAN.
Mrs. M L. Gordon and Miss Adams
 Report Their Progress.

New York, Oct 6.-The annual re- port of the American Boards Mission, cooperating with the Kumi-Ai churches of Japan, has been received. A large fraction of it relates to the special work of the Woman's Board of Missions Amino Is referred to as the home of Mrs. Morita, often spoken of as the Tango O'Baasan." She became interested in Christianity many years ago. when on her way to the Ise shrines, and ever since has been a liberal supporter of the church She erected one small building which was for a time used as chapel, and this was afterwards replaced by an other, which includes a home for the evangelist At 7S her senses are fail ing her a good deal, but her faith and joy remain unchanged.
 Woman's work at the Arinsha in- cludes the kindergarten, the Sunday school, the woman's society and more or less house-to-house visiting. The wife of a porcelain manufacturer goes to Mrs. M. l.. Gordon regularly to study English. She is bright and painstaking The kindergarten has done much for her family. Her hus- band has broken off many bad habits because he has come to feel that he must set a good example to his chil- dren, who are learning so many good things in the kindergarten, and save money to continue their education.
 One prominent feature of Christian service in Okayama City is that of Sabbath schools. Outside the orphan asylum, there are five held regularly in the town. They aggregate an at tendance ot nearly three hundred. Miss Adams regularly visits three or four stations, sustains a flower and evangelistic mission at the govern ment hospital, teaches in two schools and six Bible Or English classes, is a truly active member of the local Chris tian Endeavor society, and yet finds time for an extensive correspondence by which she keeps in touch with her former students at the Biyo Gakuin. Besides all this, she does much indi- vfdul work, attends to the personal scientific study of music under a we'll known Kobe professional, runs fam7 fly establishment, including garden ing, has the care of a favorite cat and attends to the wants of fellow mis- sionary. Working together with Messrs. Onodo and Mitami, she has rented a house and opened a day school for poor children. It is of pri- mary grade and is recognized by the government.

Dock.

Just as the steamship Australia was
leaving the wharf at San Francisco on
her last trip down "A party of twenty
gypsies, who have been encamped for
some time near SausalitO, rushed down
to the dock and called to Capt. Houd-
lette to wait until they could purchase
tickets for Honolulu. The steamer
was held and the gypsies produced a
sufficient amount of money to pay for
their tickets, but when it was learned
that the whole party could only pro-
duce 5000 above that amount Capt.
Houdlette decided that it would be a
violation of the immigration laws to
land them here, so left them behind.
The gypsies returned to camp. but
said they would have enough cash be-
fore the next steamer sailed.

CHITTAGONG AND OTHER VFS-
Sells WILL NOT COME.
End of Fight for Honolulu Trade
ject-Side Trip Too Expensive.

PORTLAND, Or, Feb. PA. c. Da-
vidge q Co. of this city, operating the
line of steamers between Portland and
the Orient, make the announcement
that after their next trip out the boats
will not touch at Honolulu. Portland
will in that case be deprived of the
much cherished connections with the
Sandwich Islands by direct route.
Steamer freight from Honolulu will
have to pass through either san Fran
cisco or Victoria. That such a course
has been deemed necessary by Messrs.
Davidge d Co. is source of much re-
gret among shippers and all interested
in building up this port.
f. II. Adams of Honolulu now in
this city, stated in an interview today
that this action was understood in the
islands to he contemplated by the COM
pany operating the line of steamsrs.
To forestall such intention was the OBJ
ject of his visit to this city. Mr. Adams
thought the trade between Portland
and the islands would suffer from TAX
ing away the direct steamship connec-
ton to the probable betterment of San
\ francisco.
THAT city" he said. has recently
been making extraordinary efforts TO
secure trade with the islands through
its own channels, and has held out in
ducements of various natures to effect
this object. The return cargoes from
! Honolulu are mainly raw sugar, being
| shipped to San Francisco for the re-
! fneries. Therefore, steamers not ply
! ing between the islands and San Fran
cisco must depend on cargoes for re-
turn trips from other places"
Messrs. Davidge 6; Co. accomplished
this by making landings at Honolulu
on the outbound trip to the Orient,
! but not touching on the return voy-
| age.
In justification of the severance of
connection with Hawaii, Mr.. Johnson,
manager of the company, makes q
plain statement that the business will
not support the line. The line to the
Orient will be continued as before, but
the steamers will not touch at Homo
lulu The difference in distance when
sailing via the islands is about 400,
making an increase of about seven
days in the time of the voyage. There
is also large cost Mr. Johnson says,
incident to touching at Honolulu, such
4 as Wharfage, stevedore charges, etc,
making the deviation from the regular
line very expensive.
Mr.. johnson claims to have con-
tinued the Honolulu trafnc since the
establishment of the line to Asia with
a constant loss, hoping the increase Of
business would finally make the VEN
ture self-sustaining. Such. has not
been the case, and the increased COM
petition of San Francisco has lately
introduced another impediment. The
effect on the amount of merchandise
going from this port to the islands
is feared.
The principal shippers of flour is
the Portland FIGURING Mills. This
company does not anticipate any de-
crease in their trade, although some
heavier freight charges are to be met.
