 P|G IRON MARKET
National Steel, Carnegie and An- other Co. Make Deals With
 BeSsemer Association.

Pittsburg, March 27.-A few big concerns practically have bought up the entire out put of Bessemer pig iron for the rest of the year, which seems to equal an assur- ance that pig iron will sell no lower
 The National Steel company ordered through the sales agent here from the Bes- semer association 5000 tons of pig, with deliveries extending to January l, 1900. The Carnegie steel company ordered 10000, and another concern 10000 tons, the price paid for the whole being $145O ton in the val leys, which, with the freight, is equal to sl5.15 in Pittsburg.
 For three weeks the sales committee of the Bessemer association has been meeting in Cleveland to establish a price for the last six months of the year. Agents from the companies mentioned were present and bid in the pig iron. There scarcely will be SO,O0O tons of metal available, with every furnace going, after the big orders are hlled, so that the market practically Is ap- parentiy cornered for the year.
 The association, it is said, will not fix 0 price, but will demand a premium on the rest of the stock it has to sell
 Philadelphia, March 27.-This weeks bu;- letin of the American Iron and Steel as- sociation says:
 Tn January last it was reported to the American Iron and Steel association that there were in blast on December 31 1S9S 2O2 furnaces, whose weekly capacity was about T500 gross tons, or at the rate of 12,S70 GOO tons per annum.
 "1t seems probable that in the very near future our production of pig iron will be sensibly increased, if indeed, it has not al- ready been increased, beyond the figures of December 31.
 ssrT< exact situation at the present time of our pig iron industry, the association has com municated directly with the manufacturers whose furnaces were likely to have been blown out or blown in since December 3l or were likely to be blown in. Detailed re- plies from the manufacturers verify the forecast of an increased production of pig iron"

THE END OF THE PLEASURE TRIP The Presidential Party Returning
 to Washington.
A LAST WORD WITH HANNA
MT. Mckinley Made Short Talk to the Citizens of Thomasville, and Thanked Them for Their Hos-
 pitality Toward Him.

Thomasville, Ga., March 27.-President and Mrs. Mckinley, Vice President and Mrs. Hobart, Postmaster General Emory Smith, pr. Rixey, Assistant Secretary Cortelyou and Stenographer Barnes left at 3:12 o'clock for Washington, where they will arrive little before tomorrow even- ing
 Miss Ruth Hanna drove the president to the station, where a crowd of about 2,O00 persons had congregated. Senator Hanna was the last to bid the president goodbye. The special train was run just outside Of the station so the people could gather round the platform, upon which were the presi- dent and Mrs Mckinley and Vice President Hobart, and bowed their acknowledge ments Some one called for three cheers for Mckinley, and then the president made a few remarks, saying:
 We would rather be coming to Thomas vile than departing from it. We have had a most restful and enjoyable time, and thank you all over and over again for your kind courtesies and your considerate hospitality. We bid you goodbye most regretfully."

ORDERS FOR LOCOMOTIVES.
Baldwin Company Receives Orders
 from India and Australia.

London. March N.-The order for twenty locomotives. given by the Great Northern Railway company to the Baldwin company of Philadelphia, is causing much comment in engineering and official circles here. The contract stipulates the delivery of the locomotives in four months and 1t seems that the British manufacturers need eigh- teen months to do the work
 H. J. Watts, who is now in the United States with other English railway men studying the American automatic coupling system, writes that he is surprised at the great capacity of the American works It is learned that further orders from the h. dian and Australian governments have been given to the Baldwin company.

 italy Democratic. WAY TO C0NQUOR REBELS Says AguinaldO Should be Hunted Down
 and Captured.
WAY TO CONQUOR REBELS
SOME OF HIS EXPERIENCES IN CUBA
The South Carolinian Who Braved Bull lets Confesses That He Was Frightened at Prospect of
 Having Yellow Fever.

Washington, March 2Z-(Special )-Gen- eral M. c. Butler of South Carolina. takes issue with his party on the matter of hold ing the Philippines. He stands with his party on every other issue. but believes that expansion is original democratic doc urine, and that study of Calhoun, Jeffer- son. Jackson and other lesser lights will re- verse the opinion of the party, now held on this subject
 He believes that 1t is going to be a very tedious thing to conquer the Philippine group as long as Aguinaldo is allowed to rove about the islands and stir up strife.
 "The best way to clear up the situation there," said the general, "Is to mount our men on Mexican bronchos and Texas ponies and put them under the command of young, agile officers It is going to take nerve and grit to capture Aguinaldo, but it can be done on horse back They say that our horses cannot live in the Philippines. They said the same thing about Cuba, yet never saw horses fatten and get in bet ter condition faster than those of our breed did which we sent to Cuba The climates are pretty much the same except that the climate of the Philippines is better than that of Cuba.
 Place Him in Confinement
 Round up Aguinaldo, and after taking him confne him on Dry Tortugas and the problem, in my opinion, would be solved''
 General Butler is looking in remarkably good health. His camp life experiences in the recent war seems to have subtracted from his years rather than added to them.
 q think my experiences in camp were good for me, and have done my health good, if it needed anything. But I would not care to undergo my experience in Cuba again for world of happy days. would a thousand times rather be under fire and lying on vet ground in the open air than lyiag in a comfortable bed within two or three doors of a case of yellow fever. I am not easily frightened, but I must con- fess that in Cuba I suffered more from fright than had ever done at any time in my life. One who has not gone through it can have no realization of the dread that possesses one For the first time I seemed to understand the fright of Macbeth and came to know what he meant when he said to the ghost of Banquo, Take any form but that At times I longed to meet some tangible foe face to face and fight 1t out, but to sit within a few yards of yellow fever, not knowing at what time the dis

No Retreat from Disease

"Before any other enemy retreat is pos sible with honor. but a soldier cannot re- treat before disease. I would look upon Caney and San Juan as picnic beside my experiences with yellow fever. There is not much danger of it in camp life, with the proper care, but to be housed with it is terrible
 General Butler is used to yellow fever districts and he says that in short time there should be no danger of 1t in Cuban cities. Cuba, he says, should be healthy, and with cleanliness in the cities the dis ease should almost disappear.
 Surgeon General Wyman feels most hope full of keeping it out of the south entirely this summer. The state quarantine of- ficers, he says, are alive to the necessity of enforcing the rules strictly, and with the splendid condition of the country after this winter he docs not expect to see it make its appearance anywhere in this country.

leading dressmakers predict an inn
mense demand for this style of gown,
and insist that even the intimation OF
what might come to pass has flooded
them with inquiries regarding them as
well as orders for gowns made in these
styles If they are to be deemed fashion
able. Others whom one would think
equally well posted are not so certain of
the success of the proposed venture,
and assert that their patrons are not
desirous of seeing it take place. Still
they will tell you that such gowns
would be worn if fashion so dictated,
for the French woman would at all
times rather be dead than out of style.
The recent attempts at changes by
the dressmakers have been confined al
most exclusively to the technical de-
tails of trimmings, etc. Some of the
