The list of large foreign orders for Amer
team iron and steel products continues to in
crease, the latest being an order from the
Australian government for $2.O00,O0O of
water pipes and one from Russia for 81, OOO,-
Be0 of machinery for a mining and smelling
company. The order from the Australian
government is for ca loo tons of steel sheets
twenty EIGHT feet long, to be rolled into pipe
nine feet in diameter. The Coolgardie gold
mining district, which they are TO supply
with water. is in the midst of hot and
barren desert. and, while the mines are very
rich in gold. the difficulty of getting water
has hitherto made it almost impossible to
work them. The pipe line which the govern
nent proposes to put in will be 800 miles
long and will have nine pumping stations.
The placing of this large order in the United
States by the government of a British col
ony is, perhaps. the most remarkable evil
dence yet afforded of the growing suprem-
aey of American manufactures.

The riot in Havana, Tuesday night was
no more than should be expected during the
last few DAYS preceding Spanish evacua-

there is a sort of interregnum just now
which invites disturbances With Spanish

favorable for outbreaks Of this kind. 1t is
fortunate that a squad of United States reg

serious one and that they dealt with the
rioters in very summary fashion When the
soldiers were fired on they did not stop to
fire in the air or waste time with blank
cartridges. but poured volley Of bullets

The public has sometimes been scandalized
by the extravagant junketings brought
about by the funerals of congressman, when
thousands of dollars are sometimes spent for
special trains and elaborate entertainment
of railroad funeral parties 1t has remained
for a Southern member of Congress to dis
cover the beneficial side of these funeral
parties He says:
The blending of the North and South is
directly due to the influence of the mortu-
airy junkets. The funeral parties are always
made up of members from both sides of the
House and always contain men from the
North and from the South The discussion
of the deceased's qualities forms a common
ground. on which they unite, and under the
LIQUID refreshments that form part of the
official funeral friendships have been
formed, prejudices dissipated and a better
knowledge obtained of the respective sec
tons of the country. The congressional flu
neral has paved the way for the era of good
feeling that now seems to be opening.
1t has been thought that the present era
of good feeling between the North and
South was due to the Spanish war, but the
Southern congressman attributes it to the
nonpartisan funeral parties. If this theory
is correct the country could well afford to
increase the number of congressional
burials. The loss of a few congressman Is
nothing compared with the increase of
fraternal feeling.

Later dispatches indicate that the Span
ish at Iloilo surrendered to the insurgents
instead of to the Americans, as at first sup
posed, the surrender having taken place
before the arrival of the American expedi-
ton sent by Admiral Dewey and General
Otis This expedition, consisting of the
cruiser Baltimore and two regiments of in
fantry and battery of artillery, left Ma
Mia several days ago. 1t was stated at the
time that it was sent to safeguard Ameri-
can interests in the city of Iloilo and to
suppress lawlessness, in case the condition
of affairs required it. 1t is not likely that
the surrender of the city to the insurgents
will change the purpose of the expedition
Since the signature of the treaty the Phil
ippines have passed under the control of
the United States and it is not necessary to
recognize the insurgents further than deal
ing with them to restore order. 1t is prob
able that the United States expeditionary
force will take possession of the city i'm
mediately on arriving there. If the insur-
gents offer opposition they will have the
United States to deal with instead of Spain
