Elsewhere will be found some inter-
esting excerpts from an elaborate ar
ticle in the New York Journal of Com
merce on the present tremendous boom
in the iron andsteel trade, particular
ly as regards the products in which
Wheeling is interested.
Notwithstanding the fact that trust
combinations have gobbled many of
our local industries, taking control out
Of local hands, which is not a reassur-
ing state of affairs, all local concerns
are just now especially prosperous,
the iron and steel trade the most pros
porous of all, the mills being actually
overrun with orders, some Of which
date far into the summer.
Speaking of the gobbling Of local
concerns by trusts, that very fact has
helped to make money especially
plentiful in this section, stockholders
having disposed of their stock at excel
lent prices for cash, now seeking re-
investment. Much of this capital has
gone or will go into other local indus
tries. Shrewd investors prefer those
investments, as a rule, which are I'M
der their own eyes and to which they
can give more or less of their personal
attention. This is not only wisdom
but serves to keep at home much CAPT.
tai that otherwise would seek invest
ment elsewhere.
This influx of new, or, properly
speaking, this release of old, capital is
the silver lining to the trust cloud. We
can only hope that the latter does not
hold the same portent for Wheeling
it has held for other localities. This
hope is founded on Wheeling's super
ior advantages as centre of manu-
featuring. The trusts can hardly do
better than allow their local plants to
remain in operation. This, however,
will be a supreme test of Wheeling's
merits as manufacturing site. We
have every reason to believe she will
meet it satisfactorily.
Meanwhile, those local stockholders
who have sold out to the trusts
do well to fortify themselves and the
city by putting their surplus capital
into local industries not dependent
on the favor or necessity of trusts. In
these days of trust control, diversifi-
cation of industries is the local saliva
ton. The town whose industries are
most varied has least to fear from the
trust shutdown in any one line, for
there is usually left something to fail
back on.

NEW YORK, March S.-A special from

representative at Pekin, and who obtained
from China the first important concessions
regarding the Siberian railroad speaking
of the Chinese situation, said: Russia 5

no other attitude than that which has
been officially announced from our for

But we are wondering what our great
neghbor to the west the United States,
will do in this emergency.
1T would seem now that the United
States will be forced by the necessities
of the case to take part in the deliber-

are in the United States tremendous in

Was the Slaughter Of Men, Women
and Children in Cities and Towns
Captured by Chinese Rebels.

Victoria, B. c., March 8.1Details of
the insurrection in the central pro-
vinces of China, received by the En-
press of India, state that the rebel
forces and the imperial troops met in
a pitched battle on Jan. % and the
latter were defeated with great slaugh-
ter. Hundreds were killed and their
bodies, after having been mutilated,
were thrown into the river until, ac-
cording to correspondent of the China
Mail the stream was like log damned
creek.
After the defeat of the imperial
troops, the victorious rebels swept on
to the cities OF Kuyang and Meng
Sheng, which they took after a short
siege AS soon as they passed the
walls they massacred men, women and
children, and performed all manner of
revolving cruelties. They then burned
the captured towns.
After these successes the rebels push
ed on to Kauchon. The gates OF the
city were opened by sympathizers with
in, and the horrors witnessed at pre-
vious captured towns were re-enacted.
Kauchon held out for some time. At
length Niu and his followers gained
an entrance to begin their slaughter.
AS a revenge for his having held the
city against the rebels, the unfortunate
commandant of the garrison was butch
cred with savage cruelty. 1t is said
300 men, women and children fell in
the struggle attending the capture of
the city. 1t is feared a great famine
will follow the instruction, for so ter
ritled are the natives that the crops
nave all been left standing and will
not be harvested.

lines Of wares. there are few dealers who
do not comment upon the high standard
OF the articles they receive from the
United States.
This is high praise, indeed, coming
from the land of the shrewd and thrifty
Scot. Consul Fleming, however, does
not fail to give due warning that this
prestige of American manufactures can
only be maintained by strict main
tenance of the high standard of Amer
lean goods. In the statement above
quoted the Consul mentions the fact
that the American bicycle trade was
damaged there by certain INSCRIPTIONS
manufacturers who threw an inferior
grade on the market He continues:
In the interest of American trade. in
Scotland it is a matter of the utmost I'M
portance that our manufacturers mann
tain the reputation they have earned for
high quality of material and workman
ship. Perhaps there IS no other market
where good quality. counts for more than
it does here. 1t is the essential thing, and,
if united with moderate price, 1t secures
trade. Finish may be quite important,
but the chances are that bad article we'll
finished will have scant sale and soon
drop out. To gain a profitable trade IN
this country and to hold it, a manufactur-
er must offer an article of solid merit and
keep it up to the original standard. Finish
and what is rather indefinitely termed
style" and anything else designed to
render wa S attractive, are of permanent
use only helping the sale of an excel
lent article. / doubt if any American
manufacturer would profit in Scotland by
lowering the grade of his product to meet
competition in the price. On the other
hand, if he keeps up the grade; his, rival,
whether English or continental. who re-
sorted to the CHEAP and nasty" tactics
would be the loser in the end.
While this is peculiarly true of Scot
land it is more or less true of all our
foreign trade, as it is Of our domestic.
And every manufacturer knows that a
market once lost-especially if lost
through a deterioration in the quality
of goods-is doubly difficult to regain.
All of which is another version of the
time honored maxim that honesty is
the best policy.

Scio, Ohio, March S.-The wide
open" business which the criminal
classes have been conducting here has
received a check due to a demand from
peace and order loving citizens that
the things which are bringing the good
name of this old town into bad repute
be stopped by vigorous enforcement
of law. The Mayors salary was in
creased, additional policemen were put
on and an ordinance against gambling
was passed Slot machines and the
gambling devices of all kinds have been
slowed away. The authorities pro-
pose to suppress speakeasies and all
other violations of law, and the Grim
inal class will find Scio a warm place
for them to locate in. The gambling
fraternity are incensed at one man
brought all this trouble on them.
Very little work has been done in
this field for several days, due to lack
of coal, and none can be hauled. The
mud is several feet deep and the hui
name agent will not allow teams to be
worked.
The citizens propose to act at once,
and will hold a meeting to see if ac-
commodations cannot be secured for
all male college students.
