Standing of the Clubs.
Hns Had Good Effect.

st Petersburg, Aug. 3.-Thc Official Mes
senger to-day publishes a government com
munique reviewing lengthily the result of
Tie Hague peace conference. After re-
ferring to the sympathetic reception the
powers accorded the commissioners the
magnanimous appeal for peace" it pro-
ceeds: .And results of the conference
have fully come up to the expectation of
the government. 1t has been found neces-
sary for the conference to postpone def
mite settlement of the complicated ques-
ton of the suspension of ornaments until
fully elucidated by the different govern
ments Nevertheless the tightening of
military burdens is already admitted by
unanimous resolution to be urgently de-
sirable for all nations.
ION the other hand the labors of the
conference will doubtless exercise an in
nuence in regulating the customs of war
and stopping crueltieS. Various states
have agreed to use all their resources in
favor of the maintenance of peace and
abolition of war 1t is now an established
fact that mediation, which hitherto de-
pended upon the good will of the states
interested, can henceforth be offered by
a third power on its own initiative
The communque continues: Without
impairing sovereign rights of the individ-
ual states the results afford fresh basis
for international peace. The necessities
for solution of the cZar's proposals is ad-
mitted by all powers, and the march of
events will indicate the securing the well
fare of mankind and the full attainment
of the objects in view"

A REMARKABLE CHAPTEl
A Falling Off in Exports of Iron
and Steel.
A BIG DOMESTIC DEMAND
The Sole Rsason for the Situation.
Good Orders Turned Down-The
Country Not Producing All
1t Can Consume.

Pittsburg, Aug. 3.-The falling off in
exports in iron and steel for June.
1899, forms a remarkable chapter in
our commercial history, says the
American Manufacturer and Iron
World. The sole reason assigned is
that the domestic demand was too
great and material could not be SPAR
ed for foreign shipment. Many good
orders have been turned down by man
ufaeturers for export, but a large per-
centage of orders for future delivery
will be taken care of.
The export steel fell off from 43561
tons at value of $S72 .664 in June 1898,
TO 1906 tons, value $420,404, in June,
1899. Billets, ingots and blooms fell off
from 4,149 tons, value SIS, $50, to 1,73S
TONS, value S44, S26, for the same period.
There were some increases in exports,
however. notably steel sheets, which in
creased from 3.945,617 pounds, valued at
Soo,3l2 to S,S71,22 pounds, valued at
Sl25,04S. Tin and tin plates and taggers
tin also showed an increase, ranging
from 2'21S pounds, value s12o, to e63
pounds, value $40.
the infant tin plate industry will be
pushed with greater vigor when the
nome demand increases and it will not
be surprising if it will eventually lead
many of the industries in exporting
material.
There was notable increase in the
export of wire rods from 2735.6
pounds, value $26 1859, to 5,372, $50 pounds,
value $57,625.
The imports of iron ore for June. 1898.
as compared with the same month this
year. show an increase from $50 tons
to 1872 tons and from s1,O65 to $73,l6)
in value. Imports of bar iron increased
from 4,1S7, 566 pounds to 5,245,447 pounds
for the same period at a value of $77,7D
and $114,060.
Many of the finished materials show
an increase in imports, notably tin
p-Dtes, from S253, 1854 pounds, value
$lS3, $50 to 10,39O, 442 pounds, value $685.
049. Ingots and blooms, wire and wire
rods and many other steel products
show an increase in importation as
evidence that the country is not pro-
ducing all it can consume.

tunities for observation. Most of the
troops believe that the land of the Philip
pines is well adapted for American agrf-
culture, with the exception of cultivation
of wheat but they add that nearly all of
the agricultural land, and certainly the
best of 1t, is in the possession of the
church authorities, and would have to be
purchased by intending settlers. The SOL
diers of Oregon, almost to man. are in
emphatic opposition even to the sugges-
ton, of making natives of the Philippines
citizens of the United States. although
the opinion seems to prevail that Amer1,
can labor laws could advantageously he
put In operation on the islands. As for
Americans working in the Philippines, the
soldiers declare that it is utterly out of
the question The heat is too intense, and
the climate generally too enervating. The
Philippines, they say. are the last lands
on earth for poor men to seek with a
purpose of improving their condition.

Ended in a Fiasco.

Dorvale, Quebec, Aug. ga series of
five races for the Seawanhaka cup be-
tween the American challenger Con-
stance and the Canadian defender Glen
cairn, terminated this evening in a
fiasco. Each of the little crafts had
won two races and the boats were
called to-day for the decisive brush, but
Skipper Duggan sailed his Canadian
boat over the course alone, and was
awarded the cup despite the protests
of Mr.. Craig, the American. The sail
ing committee, after being in session
from $50 O'clock until 11:25 tonight,
decided that the race should be award
ed to the Glencairn.

A Concentration Scheme.

scheme, which they say will annually
result in a saving to the Western rail-
roads of more than $250,00 in operating
expenses and a large amount of money
and trouble by preventing the democrat

the establishment of e common bur !au,

MASSACRE EXPECTED.
Lives of Two Thousand Americans Are
in Peril,

Austin, Texas Aug. ga dispatch re-
ceired here this evening from Casa
Grande, state of Chihuahua, Mexico,
states that four American miners had just
arrived there from the Upper Yaqui river
country. They were driven out by ma
reading bands of Yaqui Indians. Thomas
Harvell one of the members of the party,
who formerly lived in Austin, stated that
there are probably 1000 American miners
and prospectors scattered through the
Yaqui country and that their lives are in
imminent danger, as the Indians are get
ting holder and more desperate each day.
Harvell said that the news of the bloody
outbreak among the Yaquis in the lower
valley had not reached the upper part of
the stream when he left and that as soon
as such news is received by the scattered
bands of Indians in the placer mining re-
gion, they will massacre every white man
along the river.

A HOT WAVE
Threatens Damage to the Corn Crop in
Nebraska.

Omaha, Neb, Aug. 3.-This is the
third in series of very hot days in
Nebraska. The maximum temperature
at Omaha was 80 on Tuesday SO yes
terday and 80 to-day. High winds make
the conditions very uncomfortable. In
the south part of the state even a
higher temperature is reported. At
Syracuse the thermometer recorded
maximum of 102 in the shade to-day,
with only little less the two preced-
ing days. Wymore reports 107 in the
shade for to-day. Along the line of the
Burlington temperatures have ranged
from 80 to 100.
The corn crop is now in a critical
condition and some damage is likely to
result if the extreme heat continues.
Copious rains are reported in the north
ern half of the state. with temperatures
much lower than further south.

LEAVING THE DISTRICT
Destitute Miners in the Copper

Novel Excursion-Bound-
airy Line Work.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. &C. F. Perio-
and Cook Inlet, Alaska, reports that on
last Saturday the steamer Dora ar
rived at Juneau with a large number of
sick and impoverished miners from
Copper river
THE trail from Valdes to Copper river, "
said Periolat, has been completed, and
the old trail over the glaciers aban-
doned. To al Impoverished miners in
this district the government is giving
employment at $50 a month and board
until enough has been earned to pay for
a second-class passage home. All of the
sick are being sent out free.
In the early part of July four bodies
were found in the sound at Naldes.
They had come down the river with
the broken ice but We're so badly de-
composed that identification was i'm
possible.
In June last man and woman, who

The mans body was not found. His

Captain Abercrombie. who, with a
detachment of soldiers, is driving a
trail up the Copper river to the Tanana
country, will have opened about 100
miles by the time the season closes.
The reports from Dawson are not
the most encouraging. Thousands of
men are idle, loafing on street cor
ners and in every saloon. The govern
ment has already sent many back to
their former homes.
Cape Nome has the appearance of
great success. There are many re-
ports and some proofs of gold being
found there, but nothing sure as to
the amounts.
Among the passengers on the Mel
son was Paul c. Potter of this city.
He reports that there is little known
at St Michaels of the Cape Nome dis
coveries.
The people at Nome scarcely know
themselves the exact condition of the
gold fields. The discoveries are so new
that it is folly to attempt to either
boom them or pronounce them of little
value. There are many contradictory
reports from the district
