NO CHANGE IN THE
 LOCAL IRON MARKET
No Sales Made at the Reported
 Low Prices.
THE DEMAND ISVERY SMALL
But the Stocks in the Furnace Yards Have Not Accumulated to Any App preciable Extent-Besseme-
 Furnaces Still Banked

There has been practically no change in the local iron market during the past week, although it was reported early in the week that quotations were off from $1 to I.5O. It any sales were made at the low prices no publicity given to them. report gained circulation the latter part of the week to the effect that several orders for immediate delivery of iron had been re- received, but at what price was not stated.
 Despite the little demand for iron since June the stocks of the furnace yards have not accumulated to any appreciable eX- tent.
 The five furnaces at Bessemer belonging
 to the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company are still banked on account of the strike of the stock house and furnace hands
 about two weeks ago. It was rumored the
 latter part of the week that the men were ready to return to work, but the furnaces have not yet started up.
 The labor question has complicated the iron situation to some extent, and until the wage scale for the next year is agreed
 upon by the operators and the miners no
 change can be looked for. It is stated that the miners will demand an increase of pay
 
 be paid in lawful currency of the United States. Should the latter demands be grant ed 1t would practically do away with the commissares now run by the corporations. It is not believed the operators will grant the demands for increased pay, nor the two weeks pay day.
 The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company has issued its statement for the | month of May, in which it shows that the net earnings of the company for that month were $332,S6S, an increase of $245- 276 over he same month of 1899. The fixed charges were $54 IT, an increase of SS214. The surplus was $27S, ,091, an increase of $237, ,o62. According to the statement the sur plus oyer fixed charges for the five months ending May 91, 1900, was $1332,179. This is an increase over the surplus earned for the same period in 1899 of $1l71,591. It is stated that J. l.. Knoeffier, formerly superintendent of the Alabama brewery of l this city, will go to Europe as sales agent | for the Republic Iron and Steel Com pany, the Tutwiler Coal, Coke and Iron l Company, and one or two other companies l in this district

RACE CONFERENCE DISCUSSED
In Sermon by the Pastor of St. Johns
 A. M E. Church

Yesterday at Il a. Rev. J. Q. Johnson D. D., pastor of St Johns A. M. E. church. preached special sermon on the | issues disclosed in the recent race con | ference held in Montgomery. He said in part:
 "The recent race conference was a nota- ble event in a notable city. For such an occasion to take place in the "cradle of the Confederacy was a good sign of the times. The serious minded white people
 of the south recognized the gravity of the question and were seeking a solution of it in some way
 'The southern whites were the first to give the negro Christianity, the first to enlighten the minds of the Africans | brought to these shores. Much yet re- | mains to be done in this direction. There is no reason why this work may not still | be carried on in some way. Africa is at the door waiting for help.
 Some southern whites recognizing this duty carry on various city missions for | the colored people. Such work is done | here in our city. There are also missions of this kind in Memphis and Atlanta. The Presbyterian and Methodist churches,
 
 have founded schools to train ministers | This good work will be enlarged as the years go by. One of the best ways to help the dark continent is to help Africa in America.
 "In respect to education there is unani- nous agreement the south over. Much is | being done in this direction both by the l north and south. Too little is known as | to the serious efforts the negro is making l to lift himself up. In our own state there I are two institutions of higher training at Selma maintained by colored Methodists 1 and Baptists. Such work as .Sis may be 1 seen in every state of the south. Lynch law is deplored and condemned alike by | both white and colored leaders of cainion. | The great rank and file of negroes stand 1 ready to defend the sacredness of woman 1 hood as they did in the years before and 1 during the war. cr Negro leaders readily give conseat to any limitation in the suffrage which will apply to all alike. if Tn view of the work to be done all | theories about the inferiority or superiority | of races are out of place. History teaches that power abused will come to naught, as VIII pc seen aAhoiiS Hd.iohS ol the past. Many negroes will doubtless go to Af- | rica as missionaries, but no wholesale l immigration will take place until God shall | make it plain by raising a leader who, | with rod uplifted, shall smite the waters | of the Atlantic and make them divide that all may pass over dry shod.
 Africa, now in possession of the white man, will be civilized and Christianized. Tn view of past history our race has every reason to be encouraged. All the nations of the world have passed through fiery furnaces on the way to civilization. | It will be the greatest outrage of modern times if the two races in the south. with | a common language and Christianity do | not work out a great destiny" All the great issues of the conference were discussed at length.

GOLD HILL DEVELOPMENT.
Another Mining Company Incorporated to Fur
Their Develop That Famous Region

The Star Creek Mining and Milling
Company has been incorporated, with it's
principal Office in this city. The pur-
pose of the company is to develop GER
tain mines in the Gold Hill mineral dis
trict, including the mining Of gold, sill
yer, copper and coal. The officers are
Rowland Hughes, president; J. B. Cur
rent, vice president; A. S. Dam, secre-
tary; w. L. Steinweg, treasurer. The

There is to be fotation of LOCO, 900
shares at par value of 81 each, and 100,-
600 shares of treasury stock will be is-
sued at cents per share. The free mill
ing ore produced by the principal mine,
according to an assay of 800 pounds of
quartz, yields from 81 80 to $l7.5 so to the
ton in gold. The president of the COM
pany has with his experts inspected the
Gold Hill country, and is willing to in
vest his capital to develop the mining
prospects of what he terms to be "a
wonderful mineral region, richer than
the klodike."
The company has possession of ten
claims adjoining those OF the Yakima

ing men who have made study OF the
district for years believe that another
lie Roi will be developed there

A GREAT UNDERTAKING.
The Central Washington Agricultural Associa-
tion to Conduct a Fair Here Next Fall.


The Commercial club is busying itself
through it's committees in arranging for a
county fair next fall. 1t is proposed to
incorporate stock company and have
the business men OF North Yakima and
the farmers throughout the county sub
scribe for the stock. AS a starter $l075
worth of stock was pledged at the meet
ing in the Commercial club rooms last
Saturday night. There will probably be
10 per cent assessment on the stock
as a preliminary fund to start the propo-
sition, the unpaid remainder to be a
guarantee that premiums will be paid.
From the splendid balance left over when
the last county fair was held, it is the
general opinion that the proposition will
be self.sustsining, and that stockholders
will not be called on to pay more than
the first small assessment for working
basis, and the chances are pretty good
for their being reimbursed that amount.
The corporation will likely be known
as the Central Washington Agricultural
Association, with d. NJ. Shsnks as presi-
dent. 1t is understood that arrange
ments will be made to place Yakima in
the regular northwest racing circuit for
1900. 1t is intended to send delegate
to Salem, Oregon, to attend meeting Of
the fair associations OF the northwest
states and British Columbia, to be held
next month, and arrange for dates fol
races, which will bring the horsemen To-
gether from the entire circuit.

The New Caucus Law.

A correspondent who has been study
ing the new caucus lawsays: In sections
of the law it is declared; "Any person who
shall participate, directly or indirectly,
in the election at a caucus of more than
one delegate or set of delegates for the
nomination of each Office to be filled,
shall be guilty of misdemeanor and upon
conviction thereof shall be fined in a sum
not less than $50, or more than $500"
AS | understand this section it is against
what you may call repeating. If a man
goes into a Republican ucu and votes
for delegates to a convention for we will
say the nomination Of a county ticket he
is stopped from going into any other party
caucus and voting for delegates to nomi-
nate some other candidate for the same
office. The same would hold as respects
any other officer. A man must act con-
s~istently with some M party; and he,
must act but once in the election of del
egate or set of delegates for each Office to
be filled in that party. No shuttle
