STEUBENVILLE, O., November s.
About six months ago the National
Steel Company, the trust which has
come into control of a great number
Of steel works in the country, closed
down the plant at Mingo Junction,
which it had secured from the Aetna
Standard Company.
The reason for closing the Mingo
plant was that the men presented a
request for change in methods Of
working which would render their
tasks less arduous and give them time
for recuperation between turns. Prior
to that the plant had run two twelve
hour turns day. 1t was not an I'M
common thing for men to faint while
at work. 1t was such desperate sit
uation that none but the strongest
men could stand the work, and nearly
all the Americans had given up their
employment.
When the request for change was
made the management closed the plant
Reports from time to time have told
OF what was going on. According to
these the plant was surrounded by a
high, tight board fence, around the
top of which barbed wires were strung,
so arranged that they could be filled
with killing charge of electricity.
Every evidence, it is said, was given
the men that any opposition to the
will of the trust would be useless and
that a strike could not win. All this
time extended improvements were I'M
der way, not in the steel works, but
on other plants inside the big fence.
From time to time, lately intimations
have come from Mingo that if Mckinley
was elected, the trust would resume OPP
erations, but if he were not elected, the
plant might continue cold. The men were
idle all this time, and coming nearer and
nearer to starvation Some had been
driven from the tenements they had occu-
pied, and some are now living in caves
dug into the hillside, and under the river
banks
When election day came, enough of
them voted the Republican ticket to give
Mckinley a majority in Mingo junction

company, were notified that if they would
call at the office a proposition would be

They called and received a new scale
prepared by the trust people, which makes
reduction of from 20 to 81 Der cent in
the wages of the men. without reference
to the request for shorter hours and
easier conditions which caused the original
shutdown. The trust has starved the
men to the point where they are supposed
to be helpless, and they now propose TO
take advantage of their condition to en-
force an almost unheard of cut in wages.
Whether the men will submit has not
been determined, but they are hardly able
to further protest, and submission is
likely.

ALVORDS EXAMINATION
BEGUN IN THE j. 5. COURT.
HE Is ACCUSED OF STEALING NEAR.
LIZ SEVEN HUNDRED TH0JS-
AND DOLLARS
FROM THE FIRST NATL. BANK.
AN EVIDENT EFFORT TO SHOW
THAT OTHERS BESIDES AL
Word WERE AT FAULT.

NEW YORK, November S.-Corne-
Illus L. Alvord, Jr., the former note
teller of the First National bank, VINO
is accused of embezzling s690.000 of the
S. Commissioner Shields in the Grim
inal branch of the U. S. circuit court
to-day. He was represented by Jacob
F. Muller. U. S. District Attorney
Burnett and his assistant, Ernest Z.
Baldwin, appeared for the government.
The examination was conducted by
Mr.. Baldwin. The first witness was
Whiting E. Snow, assistant cashier OF
the First National bank.
Mr.. Snow said he had known Alvorl
twenty years, the past ten of which
he had been the note teller in the
First National bank. He explained IN
detail the duties of the note teller and
the banks clearing house transactions.
He explained the balance sheets which
showed a shortage of S690,000 IN Al
words department. The figures show
ed that the shortage varied, and that
from October 10 to October 10 it was
100000.
''You know that Alvord's accounts
were made up from statements handed
him by other persons in the bank?'
asked Mr.. Miller =
Yes sir, partly" answered Mr.
Snow.
Mr.. Alvord was supposed~to take
these statements OF other employees as
correct?"
Eyes"
Mr.. Miller then led Mr.. Snow to adj
nit that since the latter has become
an officer of the bank, two years ago
he had never known officers of the
bank to examine the assets of the in
stitution.
Cashier William Reed, of the FRS
National bank, was the next witness
He said that the last time the bank hat
an examination was on October Is. Ht
had no personal knowledge OF any re
port of that examination.
Morton V Moore, settling clerk Tor
the bank, identified a column of fig
ures on a sheet that was prepared for
and sent to the clearing house as hav-
ing been made by himself. He ex-
planned the details of making up the
sheets for the clearing house. Then,
one by one, he identified the sneets
made up on banking days OF October.
Mr.. Moore testified that two figures in
the sheet made up for October ID had
been changed. The figures as they
stood were not his. He did not know
who had made the changes. It was
brought out that the sheet had been
in the possession of Alvord after IL
had been made up by Moore.
Adjournment was taken to ? p. IN

CHARLESTON, w. Va, November
8.-The election news received here
to-day from the doubtful counties has
been very meagre. Nicholas county
has gone Democratic, electing John D.
Anderson to the house of delegates.
Raleigh, Lincoln, Mercer and Putnam
are certainly Republican. Fayette is
still claimed with confidence by the
Democrats on the county ticket, in
Guiding the two members of the house
of delegates. The ninth senatorial
district is still in doubt, and it will re-
quire the official count to determine
who is elected but it is confidently be-
lieved that Lou Stephenson, the DEM
ocratic candidate, is elected.

REPUBLICAN CLAIMS
Are Extravagant as to congressman
and Members of the Legislature.

Special to the Register
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, November
Sat the Republican headquarters
this afternoon there were no new fig
ures to be given out, little having been
heard from the State since last night.
The only change they have made in
the figures since last. night is to claim
one more member of the Legislature.
Secretary Hall stated this afternoon
that the plurality for the national tick
ct in the State would be within 500
votes either way of 10000.
All four Congressman are Republic
can. The majorities claimed by the
Republicans are as follows: First dis
trict, Dovener, $500; Second district,
Dayton, 1857; Third district, Gaines,
$500; Fourth, Hughes, about 1000
These estimates are based for the most
part on actual returns and on fair esti-
mates for the rest.
In the Legislature the Republicans
claim they will have 50 members of the
House, with 16 Democrats and three
in doubt. In the Senate they claim to
have elected eleven of the thirteen,
which, with their six hold-over mem
bers, will give them seventeen to the
Democrats nine. Senator Elkins tele-
graphed to-day that his estimate on the
Legislature is twenty majority on joint
ballot.

COLLECT THE INDEMNITY.
Was the Tenor of the Instruction
Sent to Consul Gunnere


WASHINGTON, D. c., November s.
The instructions of the State Depart
ment to U. S. Consul Gunnere at Tan
gier, under which he acted yesterday
were to-colect an indemnity from the
Moorish government for the murder Of
Marcus Essagin. a naturalized Ameri-
can citizen who was killed about a
year ago By a mob. Essagin became
involved in an alteration with a Moor
against whom he had accidentally run.
when a crowd Of the MooT's comrades
fell upon him and beat him to death
The Moorish government disclaimed
responsibility for mob violence Of this
kind. but the United States government
contended that the Moorish govern
ment had failed in its obligations in
declining to take any steps to punish
the perpetrators of the crime. Now
Mr.. Gunnere is directed again to pre-
sent the case, with an urgent request
for a settlement.
1t so happens that the big battleship
Kentucky is making her way through
the Mediterranean to Manila and if she
touches at Moorish port, as she would
be very likely to do, her presence may
have beneficial effect in stimulating
action upon the consul's demands.

IRON ORE FROM Canada
may AFFECT THE MARKET.
ALMOST UNLIMITED SUPPLY FOUND
ON NORTH SIDE OFLAkE
SUPERIOR.
FIRST CARGO AT AsHTABULA.
CAN BE USED IN OPEN HEARTH
FURNACES.

Special to the Register.
CLEVELAND, o., November S.--The
first cargo of iron ore that has ever
been received in a south shore port
from Canada is now being urloaded at
the Haskell Dock at Ashtabula, having
been brought down from Michipicoten
Ontario, by the steamer Iroquois. The
cargo contains 2,456 tons of brown
hematite ore and promises to be the
cause of great change in the iron
conditions in this section.
About the middle of July or on to-
ward the first Of August of this year
party of explorers went along the
north shore of Lake Superior looking
for ore. They were convinced that the
region about Duluth and Superior did
not afford the only ore that was to
be found in that region and were on
the lookout for more. There was a
wild waste of country along the north
shore of Lake Superior which the boats
seldom visited and which is practically
uninhabited that looked as if it might
have the ore they were looking for
so this exploring party was started
out
In the region of Michipicoten, Ontario,
they came upon vast fields of ore that has
never been touched. One was found that
was almost solidly brown hematite ore
and it was figured that there were in it
thirty millions of tons. Another mountain
in the vicinity was bored into for hun
dreds of feet and the result was the same
nothing but vast expanse of that same
sort of ore. All through the section the
same results followed their search, with
result that enough ore has been found
there to last the country for years if 1t
should be brought into this district A
railroad was built. known as the Algoma
Central to connect the mining district
with Michipicoten, Ontario. the lake port
AS soon as the railroad was opened. min
ing machinery was carried there, with the
result that the first ore was recently ship
ped out of that district and the first cargo
came to Ashtabula, to be forwarded to the
furnaces in the Mahoning Valley.
There are but a limited number Of fur
naces now in blast in Canada, and these
are about half of what the country con-
tains, the others being cold now because
of a lack of demand for the product The
ore production from the mines already
operated on Canadian soil is too large for
the use of the furnaces, hence when this
vast field of hematite ore was discovered,
If it found a market at all. it must go on
this side or be sent by all rail down to
Montreal or Quebec and exported No
analysis of this ore has been made in this
country, but it is said to be high grade,
that it will make a pig iron that may be
used in the open hearth furnaces. This
being the case, its appearance has caused
some apprehension. The supply of it Is
practically unlimited and II it can be Of
fered on the markets here at price that
will compete with the American ores the
prices of both will go down. because OF
the increased supply and no abnormal ex-
pans!on of the demand.

PITTSBURG 70 HAVE A
GIGANTIC Enterprise
THE AMERICAN BRIDGE COMPANY
TO BUILD PLANT COVERING
FORTY ACRES.
IT WILL MAKE STEEL HULLS
FOR STEAMBOATS, AND PROPOSES TO
EXTEND IT'S FOREIGN
TRADE.

PITTSBURG, Pa, November 8.-The
Commercial Gazette tomorrow will
say:
Plans have been made by the Amer
lean Bridge Company for the erection
and operation at an early date in the
Pittsburg district of the largest and
most complete bridge building and
structural plants in the world. NAM
moth works to cover tract of forty
acres with a river frontage of at least
half a mile, is the general plan. The
great bridge building plant will en-
ploy about 1900 men, and its erection
is estimated to cost s1.000,000. In
volved in the scheme is an important
industrial departure for the bridge
company and Pittsburg. This is the
manufacture on extensive lines of steel
barges and bulls for use in river traf-
fic. Consummation of the plans will
involve removal from New York to
Pittsburg of one or more of the execu-
tive heads of the company A site has
already been optioned for the works
and the construction of the woks will be-
gin within three months. Between $780,
600 and 100000 tons OF the finished pro-
duct will be turned out at the works
in year. This is greater capacity
than that of the five works combined
that the American Bridge Company
now operates in the Pittsburg district.
Pittsburg is regarded as the logical
general headquarters of the great COM
pany, capitalized at s70,000,000, and
owning and operating 80 bridge build
ing plants rolling mills and steel
works.
In extending its present vast opera
lions the American Bridge Company
is pursuing plans to materially broad
en- its foreign trade. This has already
girdled the globe. The company has
just started on heavy contract in
South Africa and is now engaged on
work in Germany, France, England,
Cuba, Venezuela, Chile, Mexico, Porto
hico, Japan, New South W-'ns and the
Philippines.
