compllshed.
1t Is not Intended to secure simply an
enumeration OF the inhabitants of the
island, but to determine as precisely as
possible its agricultural and Industrial
conditions,
The last Spanish census OF Cuba was
taken in 1887. While Its accuracy was

an allowance of $500 in addition to
his pay of $500 and allowances as n
major general. which makes his total

To the Editor Of the Intelligencer.
sIR:-In the base ball news of yester-
day you said: Wheeling outbatted and
outplayed the New Castle team, and lost
by hard luck. Now the writer a regu-
lar attendant of the home games and a
fan OF the worst type. protests against
the use of the words hard luck" and
suggests inserting instead the words:
refusing to take advantage Of oppor-
tunities." Many time have the pa
irons OF the game witnessed such work
by the Stogies on the home grounds,
while II the home team had inserted
little ginger into the game. and had
proper coachers on the lines to help the
runners, then the team would be several
notches higher. 1t was bad manage
ment on the diamond to allow two or
more players to collide. And as we now
have a field captain. which the team
needed badly. President Howell has
some one to look TO for explanations
when the team plays bad ball. Indl-
Vidually. the players are all right. What
we need is team work, and Mr.. Howell
should get It out OF the boys or know
why. In conclusion, will say play

Iron and Steel Activity for the Six
Months Greatest on Record.

Iron and Steel Activity for the Blk
Months Greatest on Record.
The first half Of 1899 discounts all re-
cords for activity in the production Of
iron and steel and in the urgency Of
demand for such products, says this
weeks Ohio Valley Manufacturer. Just
what the total production for the half
year will be In pig iron 1t is too soon to
undertake to say, but that 1t will ex-
coed all records is generally admitted.
Since the first OF the year there has
been an accentuation of demand and a
steady upward movement Of prices.
Money has been made by producers,
but not in such quantity as the public
generally assumes. for very consider
able quantity of the half-year's output
was contracted for in January, Febru-
airy and March, when prices were little
more than half what they now are.
Some money was made on accumulated
stocks, but large part OF this pront
went to others than furnace men.
A pleasing feature of the year has
been the generally manifested dispose
tIOn on the part Of employers TO share
the better day rewards with employees.
II can be confidently stated that the
earnings Of workmen are to-day higher
in the Iron and steel Industries than at
any time In American history, measur-
ed by the reduced amount of physical
energy required to be expended and the
amount Of life neCpssarles, comforts and
Injuries that days labor will procure.
In sense 1t can be said there Is no
price for bessemer pig iron, for there Is
none for sale. The quotation Is nomi-
nal at last weeks figures, although
there bns been some who have made
figures fifty cents to 81 higher Foundry
iron fifty cents to 81 less than bessemer.
There are no notable changes this
week, holiday influence being evident
and the market Is resting until after
the seml-annual settlements are made,
and dividend payments release new
capital for reinvestment. A number OF
new enterprises will be announced
soon, which may cause expansions IN
some directions, but production will be
materially increased during the present
half year term. and prices may be said
to be close to II they have not already
reached the top. Higher prices are to
be discouraged as tending not alone to
diminish probable future demand, but
as well as tending to create and foster
discomfort among wage workers not
bound by yearly contracts.
BilIets are as scarce as pig, and are
scarcely obtainable ut any price, al
though quoted at $33 to 1914 at mill Cop
per, tin, spelter and lead are unchang-
ed since last week.
