BkSSEMER STEEL.

oSEMER > lEEL.s
Fully four-fifths of all the steel
made in the United States is Bessemer
of soft steel, made from Bessemer pig
irons and from whi~h steel rails, bill
lets, blooms and sheet bars are rolled.
A most remarkable change has come
over the steel industry in the United
States within the last two months, and
conditions have been completely re-
versed. The National Steel Company
have been organized with capital
stock of $60,000,000, and have taken
over the leading steel plants in the
West, consisting of Aetna-Standard
Iron and Steel Company, Bridgeport,
Ohio; Bellaire Steel Company, Bellaire,
Ohio; King, Gilbert & Warner, Colum-
bus, Ohio; Ohio Steel Company, of
Youngstown, Ohio; Shenango Valley
Steel Company, New Castle, Pa; I'm
ion Iron & Steel Company, Youngs-
town, Ohio; Bull Steel Company, and
Sharon Iron Company, Sharon, Pa,
Following closely upon this consolida-
ton has come the announcement that
the American Steel & Wire Company
have just secured possession, by, pur-
chase. of the entire plant of the Schoen-
berger Steel Company, of Pittsburg, al
so makers of BesSemer steel, SO that
the only sellers in the open market in
Pittsburg and Eastern Ohio at this
time are Carnegie Steel Company,
Jones & Laughlins, both at Pittsburg,
and Wheeling Steel & Iron Company,
Wheeling. The form of steel most
generally marketed, known as billets,
which consists of pieces inches square
and 16 to IS inches long, has sold in
pittsburg district under S14.00. The
minimum price to-day Of this form Of
steel is $1,000, and where prompt de-
livery is guaranteed, as high as $500
has been done. Predictions are made
that prices will so to $500 or S26.0O
and they are likely to be verified.

ALLEGED DEMAND AND
THREAT BY THE Beers

LONDON, Nov H.-Nothing is known
either at the War Office or the Colonial
Office here regarding the alleged official
statement cabied from Cape Town say
ing State Secretary ReitZ. in behalf of the
Transvaal Government, has demanded
that General White Immediately release
Nathan Marks, a supposed spy, who Is
confined at Ladysmith the dispatch
edding that President Kruger threatens
If Marks is executed to retaliate by
sho0ting six British officers in the hands
of the Beers 1t is further asserted from
cane Town that Marks went TO Lady
smith after the investment of that pace
u,ith the supposed object of obtaining in
formation for the Beers, and one version
of the story is that the Transvaal au-
tborities have threatened to execute six
british officers if the supposed spy is not
released. 10 which General Butler is said
to have replied that the British were en-
titled to retain the man until he should
render a satisfactory account OF himself.

nrint of improbability as there is no reason
fo think that the Beers would be guilty
NJ such a complete change from their pre-
T,io1Is correct attitude and manner of con-

MOLINEAUXS TRIAL
FOR MURDER BEGINS
Prosecution Will Attempt to Prove
That the Generals Son Sent Poi
son Through the Mails.

NEW YORK. Nov 14.-Roland B. Mol
ineaux was put on trial for his life to-
day in the Court of General Sessions be-
fore Recorder Golf. charged with the
death of Mrs. Katherin J. Adams on De-
cember %. 1895 Mrs Adams died after
swallowing what was believed to be
headache powder that had been sent to
her through the mail in a silver match
holder as Christmas present to Har-
~ Cornish physical director of the
Knickerbocker Athletic Club, and by him
administered to Mrs. Adams, with whom
he resided. A chemical analysis deVel
oped the fact that the powder contained
a deadly combination of cyanide of mer-
curry The investigation which followed
resulted in developing that Henry G. Bar
net. another prominent member of the
Knickerbocker Athletic Club, who had
recently died, had received a similar pow
der and that it contained cyanide OF mer-
Roland B. Molineux was among the
witnesses put on the stand at the Coro-
ner's inquiry, where the testimony went
to show that Molieux bore enmity
toward both Cornish and Barnet. He was
arrested after considerable delay, and
has been in the Tombs ever since. Three
Grand Jures considered his case, and the
third brought in the present indictment
against him. Both sides have fought
bitterly ever since MolineuX's arrest, and
to-day, after several hours were occupied
in an attempt to select jury, not one
man had been found suitable to occupy
a chair in the jurybox.
When the case was called this morning
Barlow S. Weeks, counsel for Molineux
made a final and desperate effort to have
ii transferred to the Supreme Court, but
the Recorder ordered the trial to pro-
coed.
Mr. Weeks also made a lengthy argu-
ment on a motion to dismiss the indict-
ment but Recorder Golf several tines
told him that his talk was trivial and that
he was wasting words.
Molineuxs father, General Molineux,
sat beside him throughout the day. Har-
~ Cornish was present, and the court
room was crowded with people. The pris-
oner displayed the same air of confidence
that has marked every public appearance
of him since his arrest and after adj
iournment he was permitted TO remain
in the courtroom for some time where he
talked pleasantly with his counsel and
the court attendants. The case will be
continued tomorrow.

OPENING OF THE
GRIFFIN WILL CONTEST

SAN RAFAEL. Nov. 1.-THE prelimin-
airy skirmsh in the Griffin will contest be-
gan to-day before jury in the Superior
Court. Attorney James w. Reyes and
General Cobb appeared for Patrick Null
vany and his two children, John and Gen
eyieve the plaintiffs in the case, and At
tornevs Jones & O'Donnell, Mullany and
James w. Cochrane for the defendant,
Mrs Kate O'Connor Each side will pre-
sent the testimony of about twenty-five
witnesses.
Mrs. Ellen Griffin died last April and
left a fortune of $50 900, the bulk of which
was beqTeathed to Mrs. OConnor. her
daughter. To Mulvany, her son-in-law.
and his two children only $500 was be-
uueathed. A contest was filed in the fol-
lowing month and it was alleged in the
complaint that Mrs. Griffin was of un-
sound mind prior to her death and had
been unduly Influenced
The plaintiff testified to-day that shortly
prior to her death Mrs. Griffin frequently
came into town dressed so careessly as
to present an immodest appearance To-
morrow Rev. Father Rogers and Cashier
Bostick of the Tomales Bank will be the
chief witnesses. Many objections were
made by opposing counsel to Mulvany's
testimony. but Attorney Keyes' questions
were generally favored by Judge Angel

a lower rate from the East to St. Louis
than TO Chicago. and he wanted that
regulated When asked by Attorney Cal
noun what advantage II would be to the
Tar West to sell his merchandise there,
he said that the retailer and consumer
on the Pacific Coast would be benefited.
ON DISCRIMINATION he was asked if
should the rates be changed to suit him.
he would lower his price to the retailer
and he replied he would not. When asked
further If that was the way he proposed
and so retired amidst a general laugh
The Peters Cartridge Factory, located
near CINCINNATI, Ohio, was represented
by one Mckibbin, who complained be-
cause the Pacific Coast jobbers did not
buy from his factory instead of gong
farther East, and he wanted ii adjusted
so as 10 aelp him in selling to the Pacific
Coast retailers, though he admitted that
he sold to jobbers only in the middle west
and had never tried to sell to retailers
in that section. He did not pretend that
he had ever offered the Pacific jobbers
lower prices than the Eastern factories
or ever solicited their trade otherwise
than to send them letters inclosing his
price list and requesting their orders.
The last witness was j. r. Hickman.
freight manager for two iron jobbers of
St. Louis. His chief grievance seemed to
be that the shippers weighed their mer-
chandise in California and often made
them pay more than the scales of St
Louis called for. claiming that the scales
IN California were always correct, which
he considered a reflection on st. Louis
He said that the people out there claimed
that the sun set In California, and he
guessed 1t had gone down and left them
in eternal darkness. and the scales would
never fall from their eyes.
The whole proceeding has simmered
down TO a fight for the markets. The
compliments are all careful TO say that
they do not think the railroads are earn
ing too much money; that they have no
complaint against them in that respect.
They are seeking to pacify the shippers
so that they may reach the Pacific jobber
smOre easily.
Last evening Governor Francis invited
the Pacific Coast merchants and their at
torneys to dine with him at the St Louis
Club, along with Interstate Commission
ers Knapp Clements and Yeomans, the
Mayor and several representative men of
St. Louis.
1t was a very enjoyable affair Speeches
were made all around and the best of
feeling prevailed. Governor Francis out
lined his plan for a centennial exposition
at St. Louis in 1903 to celebrate the Louisi-
ana purchase. The Pacific Coast men
promised to help him out and it was
agreed that the two sections would unite
in the enterprise even If they could not
agree as to their trade relations Cover
nor Francis was a member Of President
Cleveland's Cabinet during his first term
and is one Of the Democrats Of the South
west who had the courage 10 stand for
sound money. His courtesy and hospitaI-
ity to the Pacific Coast representa- fves
was heartily appreciated and made a
very pleasing incident in their trip. which
they will never forget.

ADMIRAL sCHLEY's MISSION.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Rear Admiral
Schley. who is about to assume command
of the South Atlantic squadron. called al
the Navy Department to-day and had a
long conference with Acting Secretary AL
len concerning the general character OF
the trip on which he is about to embark.
1t was the admirals final call before
leaving, as he goes on Thursday to New
York. where on next Saturday he will fly
his flag on the cruiser Chicago. The sail
ing of the ship. giving her route and des-
tination, have not yet been issued, and il
is said a definite determination has not
been reached on this point
The admirars visit led to renewed con-
lectures as to the probability of his going
to some of the South African ports. As
to this, however, the admiral declined &c
say word, and there was the same reti.
cence throughout naval circles. 1t is I'M
derstood, however, that the Government
general line of policy as to the South
African war will be made known to Ad
miral Schley before he sails, as there
after he will be the executive officer in
closest touch with that field.
