You may be a little surprised when

mas Deen no difficulty in finding a mar
Ket, but the present year we have re-
fused over 10000 tons of steel in
one form or another, because we
couldn't get ships to carry it to Asia.
Early in March, every available foot Of

Many fear the competition when Rus
STA has built its Siberian road and will
bring the products of it's wheat fields
INTO As1atic America. Now L say to
you tnat If barrel Of flour was put on
poard the Great Siberian railway and
given to the railroad the Russian cost
or government operated railroads would
not enable them to carry that flour TO
Vladivostock. Take flour from the
furthest point east in Siberia where
they raise wheat, the Russian road
could not, at the average cost, haul the
flour to Vladivostock. It would cost
them about $3.50 per hundred-weight.

that is something that our good govern
ment can do for us and nobody else.

PLOTTING AGAINST SPAIN.
Military Dictatorship Expected, with
woyier at the Iiead-srnin Again
Seeks European Assistance.

New York. May l2.-A dispatch from
Madrid to the World says.
Weyler, Robledo and the Carlist re-
publicon leaders have now deliberately
set about to bring on a revolution in
Spain and that very soon.
They are plotting separately and
with different objects in view, but they
are working necessarily for COM
mon end--the destruction Of the eX-
isting government, root ana branch.
These arch-consprators have just
adopted new line of policy.
They have decided to omer amend
men.s TO every bill in the cortes pro-
vlding ways and means for carrying
on the war and to oppose every ilnan-
cial measure coming from the minis
try.
Their purpose In adopting this policy
of obstruction is to prolong the dead
lock of parliament, giving nm oportu-
nifty for anarchists and the starving to
riot, and for other manifestations of
popular discomfort to create such an
iniiamable condition of affairs through
out the kingdom that news of the next
Spanish reverse shall cause an explo-
sion.
Weyler and Robledo expect then
military distatorship headed by Wey-
Ter.
The republicans look for a revolution
which shall sweep away the monarchy.
The Carlists laugh In their sleeves
ana chuckle over tn. imminent pros
pect OF civil war.
The court of Spain and the Madrid
government have again separately
sounded the European courts and gov
ernments regarding what assistance
they would give to Spain during or
at the close of her war with the United
States.
Austria naturally was found to be
most willing to take the lead in any
action favorable to SPAIN but her al
lies, Germany and Italy, although they
sympathize on principal with the queen
regent, do not care to pick a quarrel
with the United States.
France and Russia. gave really the
most enthusiastic expressions of SYM
pathy and assurance of readiness to
help in any movement when the other
powers, even those on the continent,
only consider Intervention or mere me-
diation feasible.
All the continental governments pre-
tend to throw upon England the whole
responsibility for their inaction and
charge her with playing into the hands
of America.
The Spanish government cannot yet,
for reasons of domestic politics, come
to an agreement with even the most
friendly European powers because they
have intlmated that they can only in
terfere to mitigate the consequences of
SPANS unequal struggle with n far
enemy. They say they can
not mediate unless the Spanish govern
ment and people make up their minds
to make the inevitable. though painful
sacrifices of sovereignty and territory
In the West Indies. after their naval
and military efforts have sufficiently
''vindicated the honor and dignity of
Spain"
