STEEL PRICES FOR 1900.
Indications That They viii Be Higher
Than Expected.

New York. Aug. S1.-7The Iron Age
says: The continued advance in pig
iron and the eagerness to contract for
1900 delivery are beginning to tell on
the views of sellers as to prices of steel
and finished materials for next year
So far as we can learn very little has
been done thus far in steel billets for
1900. Present prices are no criterion,
since they represent forced purchases,
but the current of events in pig iron
seems to point Enthusiastically toward
higher prices than those talked of some
time since. The recent sales of steel
rails furnish an indication, but even
now some railmakers, notably those in
the west, talk higher prices than $50 at
mill. This would indicate about $2S to
$50 for billets, east and west, for 1900.
In finished material advances are be-
ing made all along the line in rapid
succession. Structural material which
is the only large line controlled by an
association and which had been held
back for many weeks, has now been
advanced SIS per net ton. Plates have
had another rise. Bars have stiffened
Tool steel has been put up to seven
cents for common grades. Tin plate
has been advanced 2714 cents per box.

THREE MORE YACHTS.
They Will Be Built in Eng.
land if Shamrock
Wins.

London, Aug. S1-The Yachting
World today says:
IF the Shamrock is successful, the
building of three or four English de-
tenders is already assured. If the
Shamrock is beaten, it is not likely
there will be much big boat racing on
this side next year"
Continuing, the paper says that in
any event, the Shamrock will sail in
the Mediterranean in 1900, and it men
tons as a probable rival to the Sham
rocks claim as the cup defender, a
yacht designed by Watson for Charles
Day Rose, now building.
The mystery over the role of Capt.
Ben Parker, the skipper of Emperor
Williams yacht Meteor in the Ameri-
cas- cup race, increases. The Press
Association today declares that Capt.
Parker has received his majestys per-
mission to help sail the Shamrock in
the coming race, and that he will leave
for New York Immediately. This per-
mission it is said was gained through
representations made to Emperor Will
liam by Lord Ionsdale. The same
news agency says that plain suits of
clothes are going to the Shamrock S
crew that the men may be enabled to
walk about freely when on shore so as
to prevent them being surrounded by
importunate American journalists who
stop at nothing in their efforts to OBJ
tain information.
The Press Association adds that in
the Clyde the feeling is daily growing
stronger in favor of the Shamrock S
chances. Capt. Parker denies he is
going to the United States to help sail
the Shamrock.

LILY'S DARING ROLE.
Mrs, Langtry Enacts Scan
dals Of Her Own
Life.

London, Aug. S1.--Mrs. Langtry's APP
pearance at the Haymarket theatre
this evening in Sydney Grundy's new
copedy, The Degenerates," was de-
cided success. She daringly portrayed
what are generally understood to be
scenes taken from her own life.
The realism of the initial act is SO
intense, bringing in, as it does. all the
scandals associated with her name,
that the unanimous comment at the
close of the performance was: tits
good, but she is awfully brave to do
it."
Mrs. Langtry acted better than ever
before, seeming to throw herself en-
tirely into the spirit of the comedy,
which bristles with epigrams, but is
occasionally vulgar. Hogue Gerald de
Bath, her husband loked on from a
box with the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and
Gotha and Price Louis of Battenburg.
The Duchess of Marlborough many
other titled persons and a large num-
Der of well known Americans, including
Nat Goodwin, were in the audience.
The Prince of Wales telegraphed
from Marienbad: my best wishes for
a brilliant success. Booked for a fort
night from today. Albert"

WILL GET AMMUNITION.
Kruger Will Get Detained
War Supplies from
Madagascar.

Pretoria, Aug. &.-President Kruger
today announced that he had received
a telegram from the governor of Mo-
zambique saying the detained ammuni-
ton would be forwarded Immediately.
The entire correspondence between the
imperial and TransvaaI governments
was read in open session and President
Kruger asked the raad to meet secretly
tonight for the purpose of considering
a reply
President Kruger also claimed that in
the convention of 1851 the suzerainty of
Great Britain was distinctly stated.
But, he added, there was no mention
of it in the convention of 1884. He de-
MED the government had excluded the
British from political rights.
A member of the executive council
Explained that when the Transvaars re-
lply to the joint commission dispatch
was ready the state attorney inter-
viewed the British diplomatic agent,
lConyngham Greene, in consequence of
which the last reply framed held that
Mr.. Chamberlain dispatch was no re-
ply to theirs. Mr.. Greene then cabled
to Great Britain certain suggestions, to
which Great Britain replied that if the
Transvaal made similar proposals they
would be considered on their merits
This was the reply containing the al
Tentative proposals of yesterday.

BIG NAVAL BUDGET.
More Money Must Be Spent
on Ships Than Ever
Before.

Washington, Aug. 31.-The secretary
of the navy has directed that all esti-
mates for the requirements of the ma
val service next year shall be submitted
by tomorrow, Sept. 1, thus giving him
threa months to co-ordinatipg them for
submission to congress, The several ma
val bureaus have been actively prepar-
ing their final figures, and all the esti-
mates show in general a considerable
increase all along The line.
The largest item is $1S000,00, under
the head of increase of the navy"
which is 100000 more than any pre-
vious estimate under this head. 1t is
due to the unusual number of warships
now in course of construction, aggre-
eating "a in all classes a total much in
excess Of the number under construc-
ton at any previous time in the history
OF the navy. These include IL battle
ships, four mentors, three armored
cruisers, six protected cruisers, 80 de-
stroyers and torpedo boats, and several
miscellaneous craft, submarine boats,
etc.
Admiral Melville will also make esti-
mates for new engineering plants
equipment. tools, buildings, etc, at Nor
Iolk, FORT Royal, Port Orchard and Mare
Island. The plants are old, and the
requirements now made on them induce
the chief engineer to recommend the
most modern appliances and such re-
modelling of buildings as will bring
them up to date.
Admiral Endieo5t. chief of the bureau
Of navy yards and docks, will recon
mend two more large dry docks on the
Atlantic, one at New York. and one al
Norfolk. The New York dock will take
the place of the Unsatisfactory timber
docks Both docks will be of granite
and concrete, and accommodate the
largest warsGlip. The estimate will bt
about $1,250,0QO each.

Capt. Hoearth Satisfies Himself That
Gear Is AltsRleat.
New York, Aug. 91.-For just Is min
utes the yacht Shamrock had her main
sail set today. The sail is a beauty
with its cloth running the regular way
from head to foot-and high peak
to it. But the sail, as a whole, looks
smaller than the Columbia's. Soon al
ter breakfast the Shamrock's crew
turned to. They stretched the foot of
the mainsail along the boom, then
hauled the clew out and made it fast.
There are eighteen hoops on the mast.
These were next seized on, and after
the foot Of the sail had been fastened
to the traveller, the head of it was lac
ed to the gaff, and at 12:15 the big sail
was hoisted, 1t remained up just long
enough to satisfy Capt Hogarth that it
needed no alterations, then it was low
cred, and carefully covered by the crew.
1t will not be hoisted again, accord
ing to David Barrie, Sir Thomas Lip
tons representative, until the arrival

is due here tomorrow on the Campania,

Rochester, N. Y, Aug. 91.-Yeager
and Bransfeld of the Boston league
base ball team, who have been playing
with Worcester, tonight received ten
days notice of their release from the
Boston management. This probably
means that the men Will become the
property of the Worcester team out
right, although it is not improbable that
the men may receive offers from other
National league teams.
The action of the Boston manage
ment is no reflection on either of the
players as both have been putting UP
an excellent article. of bail this season.
1t may be taken as an indication, how
ever, that Manager Seeley and Catch
er Bergen have fully patched up their
difficulties and that therefore the Bean
eaters will require no additional back
