Iron and Steel Works Unable to Fill
Their Orders.

Chicago, July SO.-Iron and Steel to-
days says:
whatever may be the foreign trade
in American iron and steel-and that
question is now a most vital One-there
can be no uncertainty about the domes-
tic assumption. Within the past week
conditions among some of the sellers,
who weeks or months ago booked many
orders for future delivery, have been
growing more serious. The buyers
wanted the material they had bar
gained for; they in many instances
wanted it in even larger quantities
than they had arranged to secure it;
and when in reply to their specifications
they were favored with explanations,
excuses and promises, but no ship
ments,. their business became more or
less deranged. It is remarkable that
quite a number of the large customers
of iron and steel are now running their
works day and night. Their surplus
product has been cleaned out. their
stocks are bare and although the
season is ordinarily ended at this time
they are making strenuous efforts to
fill an urgent demand that fingers

MORE STRICT NOWADAYS.
The Morals of the Army are Improv-
ed Since '64, Says Gen. Hudson.


Gen. Hudson writes in a letter home
that there is a marked change in the
moral attitude of army men, especially
in the matter of drinking, since he was
soldier in the civil war. This is par
ticularly true among officers, he says,
and he has met very few who drink to
excess and many who do not drink at
all. If the soldiers are diSSipated they
are under lax discipline and cOnse-
quently do not take proper care of
themselves, nor are they prepared to
do the best work for their country.
During the war of the rebellion it was
the general custom with regular officers
to drink, and it was accepted as mat
ter of course. Now, there seems to have
grown up a belief that a man. even an
army officer, cannot be at his best and
indulge freely in the flowing bowl With
many officers there is a code of honor,
usually unmentiOned and largely IN
written, that, when called to active SER
vice it is a part of his official business
to leave Indulgence behind him. Gen.
Hudson thinks that Gen Miles is large
" to be accredited with this feeling.
sons and Investigations instituted by
the press of this country and Europe
as to the effect of intOXicantS on the
health and strength of the soldier and
the efficiency of the officer have aided
the movement for temperance in the
army.
A few we'll known examples of the
dismissal of officers high in rank in the
regular army will be remembered by
every one at all familiar with army
life during the last few years. and of
course these have had a beneficial eff
feet too. Gen. HudSOn's association has
thus far been almost wholly with regu-
lar officers, as they come and go and
camp at Tampa on their way to the
front, and he speaks of them in the
highest terms.

came, although it was not known
whether he joined in the conference
with the ambassador. 1t was thought
possible, though hardly probable that
the ambassador had come prepared to
discuss and may be to determine on
some of the terms under consideration.
The conference soon heightened toward
an hour and there was no outward ev-
idence of its Termination.
Peace Commission.
Washington, July 3O-The statement
that commission will have charge of
all peace arrangements, but on certain
conditions named is confirmed. The
president has decided that the state
ment intended to be made public as to
the reply ito Spain shall not be given
out He reached this determination
upon representation that such a course
would be violation of the prOprieties
of diplomacy which require that such a
note shall not be published before it is
known to have reached the nation ad-
dressed and that even then reasonable
time must be allowed for an answer.

HAD TO OBEY THELAW.
Judge Hazen Gives the Foolish Legis-
lature q Blow in the Eve.

lature Blow in the Eye.
Judge Hazen today granted an order
on Auditor Morris commanding him to
pay the full amount of the salary
hXed by state statute to G. G. Clemens,
supreme court reporter.
AUDITOR Morris made a ruling that
employees whose salaries were not ap-
proprlated in full by the last leg1sla-
ture should draw only what was appro-
prlated. The state fixes the salary OF
Mr.. Clemens at 1000 per annum, but
the legislature appropriated only 81, 800
to pay him. Auditor Morris held that
he was entitled to draw but $50 a
month while Mr.. Clemens claimed the
whole $166.
After the order was issued Mr.. Glenn
ems drew his voucher for $166 and it was
honored and the other employees af-
fected by the ruling of Auditor Morris
also drew the full amount of their sal
aries as fixed by the state law.
The attempt of the legislature to
avoid the responsibility of paying state
employees was purely of a buncombe
character under the pretense of econ
omy for the purpose of furnishing cam
paign material. and deserved rebuke
at the hands of the courts much sooner
than it got it,

Bad nagement keeps more people

when a favorable opportunity presents

much expense and valuable time. A
prudent and careful man will keep
