from one of President McKinley's
speeches:

that these islands will be retained un-

The Republican then declared that
most of the Filipinos we're in revolt

A third time the man broke in to

thundered:

American boys and the heartaches Of
American mothers by the paltry dol
lars and cents Of commences; | dare

And the crowd went into verita-

man declared that Providence was

IRON STILL ADVANCING.
Large Sales Of Southern PIG Are Being Made
on Rising Figures.
SOME CONTRACTS FOR DELIVERY IN 1900
are Causing the sellers of steel TO
consider Higher Prices for Next
Year as Forcordaincd.

| New York, August 80. The rro, To-,
says Pig iron continues to he the ,c,a,ns
me IN the attention of trade. Large sales
OIL southern irons, notably forge and basic
nave been made for delivery during the
second half, Chicago, pittsburg and East
ern pennsylvania participating in the
| movement. 1t has caused further ad-
vance, the sales being made on rising ig-
ures from $3.50 up as high as SIG for No.
& Some of the large consultations have
been buying and yet /, is known that a
| considerable share of their requirements IL
still uncovered. Eastern cast iron pipe
makers have also bought. taking about 15,-
700 tons for delivery during the first half
Of 1900. In Eastern Pennsylvania one
steel concern has purchased the run of two
furnaces Tor the year of basic pig, on the
basis OF paying the price of No. 1 foun-
dry In the Pittsburg district, besides the
SHES of Southern iron, there have been
some purchases of Bessemer pig, The re-
port is that a leading steel interest will
be forced to cover a shortage.
y 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 not
criterion, since they represent forced pur-
chases, but the current of events in pig
iron seems to point Enthusiastically toward
higher prices than those quoted some time
since.
The recent sales OF steel rails furnish an
indication, but even now some rail makers
notably those in the West, take higher
prices than SAC at mills. This would in
dictate about SIS and $50 for billets East
and West for 1900
In finished material advances are being
made all along the line In rapid success
sion. Structural material which is tho
only large line controlled by an associa-
ton and which has been hsld hack for
many weeks, has now been advanced s.
per ton. Plates have had another rise.
Bars have stilfened. Tool steel has been
put up cents for common grades. Tin
plate has advanced 27l5 cents per box.
Importers have had number of inquiries

of foreign ore and ii looks as though some
business might be done in steel billets.
There has been considerable talk of inn
porting steel plates and English advices
continue to talk of lots OF 10000 tons and
upward. We nave beer quite unable to
trace any such quantities. The largest
single lot bought during the last month
was one of about 100 tons in order :, Sc

believe that in the near future Texas will
be reclaimed for the republican party. The
silver craze has done much to strengthen
us. The delivery of the democratic party
to the free silver men and the apparto t
determination of those in control of the

an issue has driven the best men from the
democratic party into the republican

We have made heavy gains with

will increase the list of major generals 10
eight and that OF brgadier generals TO

There are IN the service today seven
major generals and twenty-one brigadier

Before his departure from Washington

War Vessels.
New York, August 30.A Herald spe-
cial from Washington says; The Gas En-
CINE and Power company of New York has
specifically called the attention Of the de-
partment to the difficulty of obtaining
steel as reason in support OF its request
that the time OF completion of the tor
pedo boat Bailey be extended. Similar re-
quests have been received from other war
ship constructors and they advance the
same reason as the cause OF delay. The
bureau OF supplies and accounts, which
contracts for thousands Of dollars worm
of small steel supplies, has found that the
price Of these supplies is twice what il
was a year ago. The list of bidders has
also contracted, many OF the large firms
having withdrawn from competition toI
contracts. Ii is noticed that the Carnegie
Steel company Is not submitting bids in
this direction, though In the past the Car
negie company, in order 10 keep its mills
employed, has been very anxious to obtain
the work.
The bureau of yards end docks recently
advertised for bids on contract tor the
construction OF workshop and boiler
house for ordnance at the League Island
navy yard
The original specifications called for the
use of considerable steel. The bids re-
ceived we're higher than the appropriation
and were rejected. Notifications in the
plans were made ana bids again invited.
In the meantime the price of steel had
risen and the bids were higher than on
the first occasion Further notifications
of the plans were made and new bids IN
yited. But owing TO the increase in the
cost of steel the bids were relatively just
as high and larger than the appfopria-
