INCREASE OF FIFTY
 CENTS PER TON
Freight Rates on Pig Iron Be- yond Ohio Are Raised
 by Committee.

Notice has just been sent out from the office of the Southern Iron committee of this city through it's chairman, Major w. A. Moody that on June 21 the freight rates on all pig iron shipped from Birmingham to markets on and beyond the Ohio river will be increased 50 cents per ton. This, in- crease will also be made for all of the markets on and beyond the Mississippi river. As usual, shipments to neighborlng cities and to the southern ports for export will not have their freight rates increased. These rates also apply to wrought iron and other products of the rolling mills.
 The railroads make it a rule to grade their freight rates on pig iron according to the price the iron is bringing. It is said that under the new schedule rates will be greater than they have ever been be- for-for some years previous to this time anyhow-but iron is bringing such splendid prices these days that the high rates will not at all affect the shipment of the pig.
 On February last, several months after pig started it's remarkable upward in- crease, the freight rates were increased 50 cents yer ton. This months increase will make total increase of $1 per ton within less than six months.

CAVTTE PROVINCE IN AMERICAN HANDS The Hardest Work Our Army
 Has Seen. INSURGENTS GREAT DODGERS Four Thousand Warriors Disappeared and Avoided Capture-F of Cap tain Miller, Who Died Just As His
 Hopes Were Realized
INSURGENTS GREAT DODGERS

Manila, June 12.-The Filipino occupation of the province of Cavite has been broken, and, as a result of the present movement, the Americans now control the important coast towns of Paranaque and Las Pinas, while long line of insurgent trenches fac ing our south line has been cleared.
 The insurgents have again proved their facility as dodgers, between 5000 and 4,OO0 warriors, who seemed destined to be cap- tured, having disappeared, the majority gliding away in the cover of the night af- ter fighting the Americans all day Some others came to meet our troops with pro- testations of friendship.
 The Thirteenth infantry lost one man kill ed and six wounded; the Ninth infantry one man killed and five wounded, the Four teenth infantry three wounded and the 1st Colorado ten wounded.
 Saturdays work was the heaviest and hardest our army has seen. Tine battlefield stretched across the entire isthmus from Laguna de Bay to tile harbor While the troops were advancing the army gunboat Napidan, in the river near Tagufg, shelled the enemy, killing several of them. 'i
 The funeral of Captain Henry Nichols, the commander of the United States double-turreted monitor Monadnock, who died from sunstroke on Saturday, took place at Cavite yesterday with appropriate naval ceremonies, The officers of the fleet were present. and the flags on all the vessels were half-masted.
 The sudden death of Captain Nichols was particularly sad. because it occurred just at the moment when the result which he had hoped for and worked for for months was about to be realized namely, the cap- ture of Paranque and it's occupation by the American forces.
 The Monadnock has been lying off Paran- que for two months past under fire from the rebels almost daily. The heat here has been intense, and the officers and men of the Monadnock suffered greatly. T
 The commander-in-chief desired the of- feer to retire from the Monadnock and re- place him by another, but Captain Nichols preferred to remain, declaring that he did not want to leave his post until Paranque fell and the coast from there to Cavite was cleared of rebels.

------------------ ----------------- VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS
The State Committee is in Session at
 Richmond

Richmond, Va, June 12-The state dem- ocratic committee met here tonight to con- slider the petition of the conference held in this city on the 10th of May that a con- vention be called, a primary ordered for the purpose of nominating a. United States senator from this state by direct vote of the people. There was full attendance.
 The committee decided that it has not the right to grant the request. The reso- lutions adopted says: "The committee is satisfied that there is not such general demand from the body of democratic voters of Virginia for this departure from the established asages of the party as in any event to justify 1t in making a change so radical as the one proposed. The people in the several legislative districts of the state have always had and still have the power to control the election of United States senators either by leaving it to the judgment and discretion of the represen- tatives chosen by them or by seeing that the representatives chosen are in accord with them on the subject, or by instruct ing them where it seemed necessary"

Montgomery. June 12-(Speciai )-Govern- or Johnston and pr. Eager went to Tuske- gee this evening to see pr. Massey and urge him to accept the presidency of the girls industrial school at Montevallo.
 News has reached here tonight that when the committee waited on him he signifed his acceptance of the position.

 Arrested on Slightest Pretext
 The socialists and radicals had little diff ficulty in substantiating their charge against the police. Many well-known men belonging to the radical section were on the slightest pretext arrested and locked up for the night. M. Breton and Clovis Hugues were thus arrested.
 It should also be said in behalf of the police that the demonstrators on return ing from Long Champ were over excited especially the socialists who stopped many carriages. summoning the occupants to shout "viva la sociale' with them. NJ Dupuy hotly defended the police in the debate, which was exceedingly waHm. As to the new ministry nothing is likely to be settled for some days to come. Vari- ous names are suggested. but probably many men will show reluctance to accept the situation while the Dreyfus affair re- mains unsettled and while the government has before it the onerous duty of prose- cutting the generals. It Is rumored at the office of several newspapers this evening that the Due De Orleans has been arrested at Nice. No confirmation of the report can be obtained, and it Is quite improbable, as he is supposed to be cruising on his yacht.

tion that he made great mistake yester- day in the Bois Boulegon and Long champ with sabers and bayonets, thus rendering M Loubet assistance, while seeing there was no serious demonstration against him anywhere There was no demonstration outside the Palace Bourbon when the min- istry broke up.
 Portfolios in combinations will be given to M. Poincaire and Rouvier.
 M Rouver, who is deputy for Grasse, in an interview this evening declared his be- lief in a Waldeck-Rousseau cabinet, pre- dieting that it would receive the support of the extreme left. M Peyntral also ex- pressed his conviction that Waldeck- Rousseau ministry was certainty.
 Le Courier du Soir late tonight predicts that M. Henri Brisson will have an im- portant post in the new cabinet as the head of the radicals and "the leading spirit in the revision movement"
 M. Dupuy, on leaving the Elysee, had a long conference with M. DelcaSse LeigueS and Guillain. President Loubet will con- suit with the president of the senate to- 1norrow morning at 10 o'clock, and the gen. eral impression prevails that the crisis will last no longer than Wednesday.
 It Is understood that M. Sarrien and Poin- cairr, leaders of the radicals and the pro- gressists respectively, drafted the Reau motion and showed it to NJ. Dupuy before 1t was presented m the cnamDer. They en- deavored to persuade him to accept it, say ing that it was not directed against the government, but was only intended to af- firm the union of the republicans. NJ. Dupuy, however, refused to accept, with the result that M. Sarrien and Poincaire led their followers against him.
 Wanted to Re PresideHr
 The fall of the cabinet was probabl yas little surprise to NJ. Dupuy himself as to parliament or the country, though it is said he looked rather for a presidential crisis ahd had an eye on the presidency for him. self. The crisis has come, however, rather sooner than he expected. People were be- coming tired of M. Dupuys shifty and op- portunist policy and he is blamed. first, for not preventing the anti-Loubet demonstra- , tion at Auteuil which, it is held, he might easily have done; and, secondly. for over doing the military preparations yesterday at Long Champ as if to show that M. Lou bet dared not show himself in public with out an army to protect him. Dupuy's idea was probably the same in both eases-to discredit the president ill the eyes of the nation. Another cause of dissatis faction is his failure to order the immediate prosecu- ton of General Mereier. But the last straw was the over-bearing conduct of the police yesterday which greatly annoyed the so- cialists. Negotiations had alread been go- ing on among the discontented deputies and, when the chamber met today Nj Du- puy seeing the large majority wishing his fall, deliberately rode for it. He might,

It formed in a waterspout four miles south of Hudson on Lake St. Croix.

St. Paul, Minn., June 12.-A very heavy storm, possibly a tornado, this afternoon is reported to have swept over Hastings, Minn., and Hudson, Wis, being probably the center of the storm that gave St. Paul and Minneapolis such hard rain and blow from to o'clock this evening.

THE DREYEuS VERDICT.

Associated Press Dispatches by Special Wires
Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 10. BY
unanimous vote, the Kansas City Beard
of Trade has adopted resolutions de-
nouncing the procedure which ted
in the conviction of Capt. Dreyfus,
declaring that "both in the conduct of
the trial and the sentence pronounced,
a travesty upon justice aud reproach
to civilization has been enacted, +" and
that 1.-THE great Republic of France
presents to an astonished world the pit
able spectacle OF corrupt people too
impotent to purge itself"
London, Eng, Sept 3.-While the
papers are full of letters from in
dividuals and several firms announcing
their withdrawal from the Paris exhibi-
ton, and urging the government to do
likewise, there is no intention upon
the part OF the British government of
taking any such step. 1t seems also
unlikely that the present agitation will
result 10 any general withdrawal of
British exhibits.
Berlin, Germany, Sept. 13.-The
German government organs have been
quick to issue a warning against the
proposal to boycott the Paris exhibit
tion. Germany has no occasion to
take the lead in this matter, says the
Cologne Gazette. '.She ought to leave
this to other states, which, perhaps
would not consider it undesirable that
Germany, of all Powers, should adopt
II hostile attitude towards France in
this matter. /"
Louisville, Ky, Sept. IS. About 500
persons gathered at Music Hall last
night, to participate in an expression
of sympathy for Capt. Dreyfus. Reso-
lutions denouncing the verdict of tho
court martial we're adopted. and adj
dresses were delivered by mon of local
prominence.
Galveston, Tex. Sept. 13. AT mass
meeting last night, the citizens of Gal
weston adopted resolutions condemning
the Dreyfus verdict, but expressing
the conviction that the liberty lowing
people of France would see justice
done.
Otsego, Wis, Sept 13.-The follow
ing cablegram was sent to Capt. Drey-
fus yesterday by the citizens of Otsego :
1--WE hope for your pardon. If granted,
we extend to you cordial invitation
to make your home in Otsego."
Vancouver, b. c., Sept. Ii. The
British Columbia government is being
