SHOW PATRONS ROBBED
HighWaymen Hold Up a Crowd
at Pawnee Bills Circus.

Buffalo, N. Y. Aug. IA special to
the Express from Cory, Pa, says:
a bold highway robbery took place
in this city at IL o'clock last night when
patrons of the Pawnee Bill show were
returning to their homes. Four armed
men held up 500 people. The robbery
took place on Center street. The rob
bers had destroyed the arc light, Ieav-
ing the road in darkness, and with
drawn revOIvers they proceeded to stop
the people and carriages, blocking the
street until at least 500 people were
held.
Charles Barton, hackman, made an
attempt to drive on. The four men
opened fire upon him, but none of the
bullets took effect. The people in the
rear of the crowd, hearing the shots,
became panic-stricken and made a rush
for their lives.
A man named Smith,a peanut vender,
was relieved of about $50. From a
stranger who would not give his name
was taken about 5000. The highway

LIKE THE SPANIARDS.
Americans Criticised For Suppressing
Cuban Newspapers.

New York. Aug. "a special to the
Times from Washington says:
General Carlos Garcia said today that
he considered the suppression of the
Havana Reconcentrado to be a serious
mistake.
ct was Spanish CUSTOM he said, 'to
arrest editors and suppress their papers
for daring to criticise Spanish methods
and it would seem from General Lud-
lows action that he is pursuing the
Spanish policy which has been justly
denounced in the United States. Be
sides this act on the part of the mill
tary authorities will be construed by
many Cubans to mean that the civil au-
thorities are mere figureheads and will
no doubt produce bad feeling. The
civil laws in Cuba are ample to punish
people who commit libel. I admit I do
not know all the facts, but I do know
that to be consistent General Ludlow
will have to suppress other Cuban pa
pers that have criticised General
Brooke's appointments. I know Gen
eral Ludlow and admire him, and take
it that he has been imposed upon. What
would the people of the United States
say if the authorities should suppress
a newspaper for abusing, justly or IN
justly, the administrations There can
be no independence or personal liberty
without free speech and a free press"

A GENERAL SCARCITY
Prevails Throughout the Iron In
dustry.

New York, Aug. 3.-In its review Of
trade conditions the Iron Age says:
The rising tendency continues una
bated and it is a question whether de-
lays in deliveries have not actually be-
come worse than better lately Scarcity
of labor, scarcity of coke, pig iron, bill
let's, wire rods, is troubling makers
from step to step upward to the final
consumer.
Sales for delivery during the first half
of 1900 and beyond are growing more
numerous, thus showing that many
buyers are willing to pay present prices
for the certainty of securing their sup
plies. So far as deliveries during the
balance of the year are concerned, the
maintenance of present prices is con-
ceded by the majority, while every day
brings accessiOns to the ranks of those
who hold that we are to see a consider
ably higher level yet for urgent require
ments.
This seems to be the situation in iron,
both in foundry and in bessemer grades
and for delivery during the next few
months there has been a further ad-
vance. Pittsburg records sales Of bes-
semer pig as high as $21, valley fur
mace.
and high prices are being paid for
prompt shipments, notably for open
hearth stocks. 1t is significant that
one rolling mill has just given an order
for the importation from England of
$50 tons of open hearth billets and that
other inquiries are at hand. Others for
foreign open hearth wire rods were
placed by screw makers some time
since and there are indications that ad-
ditionaI quantities may be drawn from
Europe. While the capture of many
large bridge orders for foreign markets
has attracted a good deal of general at
tention, striking progress has very quiet
~ been made in extending a market for
buildings and sheds. American firms
have asked and obtained the designs
proposed and have remodeled them in
accordance with practice here. guaran-
teeing ability to resist the loads speci-
fed. By this means the structures
have been much Hghtened and it has
been possible to secure work at a
higher per pound rate than that offered
by European builders. We understand
that buildings have been thus captur-
ed, not alone for the West Indies, Chill,
Peru and Central American states, but
also for European countries. We learn
that one firm alone placed contracts ag-
gregating 5000 tons in July.
Among the bridge orders in the mar
l1et we note eight bridges for Japan.
They were designed by American con-
sulting engineers and will therefore be
taken here.

no DEPORT MINERS.
Eighteen Who Came to This Country
Under Contract Must Return.

New York, Aug. 3.-Judge Thomas, in
the United States district court today
dismissed a writ of habeas corpus pro-
cured in the case of Mate Stascovio, and
II other miners from Austria who ar
rived at this port, who on June last
were permitted to land, and went to
Rathburn, Iowa, where they secured
work as miners. It is alleged in the pc
tition for the writ that after they had
been at work about a week they were
arrested by agents of the immigration
commissioner, brought back to this city
and were about to be deported to Aus
tria on a warrant issued by the secre-
tary of the treasury, that they had
come to this country under contract.
Judge Thomas, in dismissing the
writ, said that while he considered the
law unnecessarily harsh and severe, yet
as long as the constitution gave the
power to the secretary of the treasury
to act in such matters, the court had no
power to intervene.
