 England fcresees the result Of Amer ica's great irCn production. The Econ enlist, in another issue, says:
 "As the production cf Great Britain cannot very readily ba oxtsrd3d, cwir g to the difficulty Of obtaining o-e, it seems probable that the United States will have to supply the bulk of the ad- ditional three million tons cf pig ircn which are likely tc be required du ing the next three years. Germany is the only other country which has baen in creasing it's output to any extent, but this has cnly been at the rate Of tnre e hundred to four hundred thousand tens per annum cn the average.
 During tie past ten years the pro- duction of pig iron in this country has been comparatively stationary, never exceeding seven to nine million tens during the period of greatest activi y; whereas in the United States during the same period the production f1uctu- ated between three m lliCn tcrs in '7S and ten millions in '97, and today the production is at the rate Of eleven million tons psr annum. It is mani fest, therefore, that it would have been very difficult to supply the world un- less the United States had entered the field in the way she has d0Ee. It may be that in the future we may have tc take the seCcnd insi cad of the first place in the ircn and s.eel trade of the world ''

DEAD r1AN'S DIAMOND RING
Charged it Was Stolen by Police Who
 Had Charge of inc Body.

New York, Dec 16.-Meyer Isenberg of 28 Pitt street fell down an elevator shaft at 106 Greene street on Decem Der 2 and was killed. His body was carried to the MacdOuga1 street police sta.ion and there was claimed by relatives and taken to his home. Not until the ques- tion of paying the undertaken came up and 1t was proposed to sell his diamond ring for the purpose, had anybody ap- parently thought of searching the body. When they did they found that the diamond ring, which was worth S48, had been stolen and a ten-cenit brass ring slipped on his finger instead
 The relatives complained to the po- lice. An investigation was set on foot which developed the fact simply that there was a ring upon his finger when he lay in the station house, but which ring no one could tell. It was turned in so that the stone could not be seen. Captain Hogan made charges yesterday before the police board against Ser geants James F. Nally and James H. Kelly, who had the desk while the body lay in the station; against Doorman Comerford, who watched it there, and against Patrolman Benkler, who stood watch over it where it lay until the abbulance came.
 It was learned later in the day that letter had come to the dead mans friends signeu Louis, saying that he, Louis, had sent the ring to them by mail, and inquiry late yesterday devel- oped the fact that there was a package containing a ring at the general post office awaiting a claimant Whether it Is the missing ring or not is yet to be ascertained.

Our irCnmakerS, forced to enter for eign markets to keep pace with the enormous output from the nCrthe-n and southern mines, they have found a foreign trade profitable, and they are going to hold CD to it and develop it. The remarkable thing about it all is that we can mine iron on Lake Supe- ricr, ship it 1,200 miles to the Pitts burg mills, make it in.o ship plat-s send it 5000 miles across the Atlantic to Glasgow and there sell 1t to Eng fish shipbuilders cheaper than they can buy it from the neighb2ring mills. England's ore supply is running short, and so is her supply Of cCal. Fifteen years go her mines gave her 1S,O3O,- 900 t-ns of orc. Las year the output was but 13,SOO,000 tons.

PORTO RICAN JUSTICE TOO SLOW.
Military Commission Appointed by
 to Try Criminal Cases.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Dee. 16.-Sfnce the appointment of the judg3s in the island by the Amer;cans there has net been single conviction in criminal case. There have been a numb3r of cases of arson and brigandage. In some instances the culprits were cap tured and arraigned before the courts, but the judges have moved with such deliberatiCn that none of the prisoners have yet been convicted.
 It became so evident that the courts were failing to perform their duties that Gen. Henry, who is now in con- mand here, determined tci put an end t-' this scandalous condition of affairs. He has therefore removed criminal cases from the jurisdiction Of the ordi- nary courts and appointed a military commission to try them. Criminal justice will now be administered with celerity, and it is believed that this will have deterrent effect on the lawl2ss, who have been encouraged by the lax enforcement of the laws.
