THE ILLINOIS STEEL OFFICIALS

From the Chicago Record.
 Information received in Chicago yester- day that officials of the Illinois Steel and American Steel and Wire companies were visiting the plants of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company at BirminS- ham, Ala, aroused interest in the reporrs which are in circulation regarding a great steel and iron combination in the west The Illinois Steel and Minnesota Iron com panies are chiefly concerned in the deal Eastern financial papers have been men tioning the Cambria Iron and Pennsylvania Steel concerns in this connection, but there seems to be good reason why friendly rela- tos should be established with the Ten nessee company also. The Cambria and Pennsylvania companies are both makers of finished steel products absorbing their entire pig-iron capacity. while the Ten nessee company is a producer of pig iron only, from ore taken from its mines in the south. It's annual capacity of pig iron is O52 900 gross tons, which is exceeded in the United States only by the Illinois Steel company with 1,4S0O00 tons, and the Car negie Steel company, ,00O tons. The capacity of finished products of the Illinois Steel plants is about 100000 tons a year greater than their pig iron capacity, and in busy years like the present the booked orders tax the full resources of the plants.
 The Illinois Steel officials, who include President Gates and E. H. Gary, general counsel for the allied steel and wire inter- ests were at Birmingham on Monday. They were met by officials of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, and with them inspected the principal mines and plants of the south ern company.

The People of Porto Rico.

Porto Rico is a popuIous island. It is not large, but it is full of people. The soil is so fruitful 1t can sustain large popu- lation. There are at least three quarters of million there, chiefly engaged in agri- culture. There few Spaniards many negroes and many more of mixed blood. Altogether the island contains nearly 1oO,- GOO men of military age.
 What do these people desire? This is one of the problems that General Miles campaign will settle. Up to this time no one has been able to say what they pre- fer beyond the fact that they prefer peace and an opportunity to make and market their crops. The farmers and mer- chants of the island know that this coun- try is their best, nearest and natural market, and ordinary business sense must have much to do with their choice of political control. Their literature and traditions are Spanish, but their market and their chance to earn comfortable livings are American. Which do they pre- fer?
 Spain .IS powerless to protect them against anybody. She has no ships, is overburdened with debt, and is, as they well know, a very poor and unjust admin istrator of colonial affairs. There are heavy interests at stake, for the trade of the island amounts annually to a large sum. Spanish officials and agitators have appealed to the people to stand by the land of past glories and of Columbus, but the islanders must be presumed to have a general knowledge of the situation, both political and commercial. Upon the extent of this knowledge depends their determi- nation.
 Upon their determination depends the nature of General Miles campaign. If the natives of the island remain quiet or show an American tendency, the campaign will be brief, and the island will soon be cov- cred by the Stars and Stripes at peace with itself and the rest of mankind. But if they resist American occupation more time will be needed in which to secure the paeification of the island. The wishes and tendencies of the Porto Ricans themselves constitute one of the most interesting problems of an interesting campaign. Gen. Miles army will soon solve the particular problem It will soon know how many of the natives are willing to fight the Amer icans The force of Spanish regulars on the island is not large-less than 10000 men-and no considerable opposition out side of entrenchments to the army of in- vasion can be made by such force. The Porto Ricans can, however, make the task very formidable, assuming, of course, that Spain has arms and ammunition in the forts and arsenals of the island for force of volunteers The campaign will soon de- termine these questions.

General Shafter Was Thinking

An essential frill on the biographies of heroes of the war seems to be, in the minds of writers, their fuency in language profane. "Fighting Bob'' Evans is always enveloped in a sulphurous atmosphere, and General Shafter is declared to be another prize winner in swearing. The Detroit Free Press relates this about the Santiago chieftain:
 One day the general was engaged in house moving It was after his wife mad become an invalid, and he was naturally irritated at being compelled to attend to household details which his wife had for merly so studiously and efficiently relieved him of. It was probably this that caused the general to go into the garden before breakfast, while the house was all bro- ken up, and swear a blue streak for half an hour. Mrs. Shafter was reclining on the lounge in the dining room. awaiting breakfast, and heard him. When the gen. eral came in he greeted her with a smile and assisted her to the breakfast table.
 'Is there anything the matter, Will iam?' she asked, gently.
 No, my dear; everything is going on all right
 What were you swearing about, then?"
 "Was [ swearing?"
 'Yes, horribly
 'Rless me! I am sure I can't think what it is about Redman! Come here, Red- man." shouted the general in stentc- rian voice, and his faithful and devoted personal attendant promptly appeared.
 What was I swearing about this morn ing Redman? and he riveted the man with his commanding eyes.
 Redman fidgeted first one foot and then on the other for a moment, and then answered.
 'I guess you was thinking, sir.'
 "Oh, yes, my dear, that is it-I was thinking.
 Thus did he ever guard her by his cheer fulness and good nature, while in her presence from the slightest worry or dis comfort
 Although the special fitness of General Shafter to conduct the rough and vigorous campaign at Santiago de Cuba was the primary motive that influenced the pres- ident in his decision to appoint him to So important a command, it is quite likely that the fact of the generals having had the yellow fever was also taken into con- sideration.

ABismarek ReminIscence

Professor Aegidi, who was for many years eeeethhm hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hmm the chief of the press bureau, under Prince Bismarck, relates the London Standard, has just published the following reminiscence of Prince Bismarck and the czar, Alexander IT.: "Before the outbreak of the Franco German war the ezar was with King Will liam at Ems. They were together one even ing and Prince Bismarck was standing at the other end of the room anxiously watch ing the czar, whose more or less friendly attitude toward Prussia's policy was mat ter of very great importance Suddenly the ezar's big dog which had been lying si- lently under its masters chair, rose, prowled about the room, stopped before Prince Bismarck, looked at him, wagged it's tail affectionately and licked the hand he held out toward it. The czar, who had attentively watched its movements, called out to Prince Bismarck at this moment, You see, the dog knows his master $ friends Prince Bismarck, who told Aegidi this story added: "I felt relieved.

The Influence of Vera city

Mr. Jefferson had once in his employ a plausible sort of man, half valet half fac totum grossly incompetent and unsatis- factory, whom he desired to get rid of. It was a certainty that the man drank. Wine from the cellar would disappear, and grad ually go down in the decanters; but there was never any ocular proof, prefaces the Woman's Home Companion
 And said MT. Jefferson, intelling the story to a friend, "there l was. What could I do? However" he continued "one day, as I was sitting in my library, whom would l see but William come reeling up the walk, drunk as a lord. There was no doubt of it. My opportunity had come after many years. l waited for him. l would tell him how drunk he was. He would deny 1t, of course. He would insist that he was perfectly sober and that l was the one who was drunk. But I should have the calm consciousness of right on my side, and my excuse for sending him away would be sufficient. So, when William appeared severity that I could summon and said:
 William, you are drunk
 "He returned my look with perfect inn purturbablity MT. Jefferson, said he, I am more than that-I am very drunk. sir.
 And" continued Mr. Jefferson, twill you tell me what I could do? He took the wind out of my sails. He proved himself a per- fectly truthful man.
 And you finally got rid of him?'' asked the man to whom the story was told Just then some one came in to light the lamps and the comedian looked at him quizzi- cally "No, he answered, with smile, that William who just came in. I couldn't discharge a man for telling the truth, could I?'

to the hospital at Key West. This coat was torn by the barbed wire trocha as my regiment charged up the hill at Fl Clancy, and l fell in the second ditch. As soon as I could walk I started from Key West with $2.20 for my home in Northamp- ton, and have worked my way as far as here. I need only $1 more to get home to my wife. Can't you help me a Hitler?
 This usually appeals to the sympathy of the bearer. The battle-scared veteran entered well known saloon near the crim- inal courts, in Centre street, about 8 o'clock yesterday, and collected S1.10. As he was preparing to leave. with tears of gratitude trckling down his cheeks, the proprietor offered him a drink, and while he was standing at the bar noticed that there was no emblem of service on his hat. This aroused the proprietor's suspicion, and he asked abruptly: My good man, where's your emblem of service?"
 The man replied in a confused manner: q lost my hat when l fell and this was given me at Key Vest
 What regiment did you belong top continued the questioner.
 "The Nineteenth Massachusetts" said the man in the uniform.
 How long ago were you wounded?" asked the proprietor.
 The reply was About six weeks"
 A few more questions exposed the fact that the imposter had not only not been in Cuba, but knew less of the fighting about Santiago than could be gathered from an occasional intelligent perusal of the bull letin boards on Park Row. The proprie- tor of the saloon was too good natured to have the man arrested, and he es- capped with his money.
 An inquiry revealed the fact that an old clothes dealer in Water street has begun the business of furnishing these disrepu- table army uniforms at a very low figure, and in few days they may be expected to appear throughout the city.

The State Election.

All who think it is not necessary to work for and vote for the Birmingham amend ment, should read the current number of the Birmingham Times. The Times is ed- tied by Dr. Moseley, and it is the organ of the republican party in this section. Per haps it should be considered the state organ of the Vaughn wing of the republican party.
 This weeks number bristes with appeals to the voters to vote against the Birming- ham amendment. It is denounced in vio- lent paragraphs and appeals While the amendment is in no sense a political or partisan measure; while it Is a means to get this city out of debt and keep it out; while it means much in the way of good schools, sanitation and the like, yet the Times seems to consider it an anti-repub- lican measure. Why 1t so considers it. is not stated. As matter of fact no such reason exists. The amendment is wholly outside of politics or partisanship. It has no bearing upon either. It is simply a To- cal desire. and no voter, be he republican, a populist, dle-of-the-roader, dem- ocrat, a prohibitionist, or socialist. can find any good grounds for denying to a city the privilege of paying it's debts.
 The opposition of the Times is an instance of politics gone mad It's course is without rhyme or reason. But its violent and un- reasonable appeals show that every voter should go to the polls. Every possible vote should be boiled, not only for the amendment, but for the entire ticket. Let every man work for the amendment from

dered from time to time whether children are made of such dustile material and can be as readily moulded to our wishes as educators wouold have us believe. If it be true that nature counts for nothing and training for everything, then what a gap between the boys and girls of 200 years ago and the boys and girls we know today The rigid bands that once bound the young to decorum have dwindled to a silver thread that snaps under every res tive movement. To have perfectly nat urar' children seems to be the outspoken ambition of parents, who have succeeded in retrograding their offspring from arti- ficial civilization to that pure and whole some savagery which is too plainly their ideal

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN

From the Albany (N. Y) Evening Journal
 Colonel Bryan has reached Jacksonviue and reported to General Lee yesterday be+ fore that gentleman fairly had got out of bed. This military prompttude leads to the belief that if Colonel Bryan ever gets to a point where it is necessary to have his men act with energy and decision he will see it is done. and done well. There is a disposition to poke fun at Colonel Bryan but he is showing the same quali- ties that have won worldwide reputa ton for the American volunteer. So far as serving his country in military capacity is concerned Colonel Bryan appears to be all right.
