IRON TRUST SUSPECTED.
shutdown of Il Virginia Plant Attrfb-
mIs.d TO It's gmGucnee.

BRISTOL Va, Aug. 31-The depart
uIe from Bristol OF some of the leading
men who have been associated with
the Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke Company
IN the manufacture OF iron is taken as an
indication that the company does not in
tend to put its furnaces in blast again
soon.
The company's furnaces and iron
properties in Tennessee, Virginia and
Kentucky are all idle. Treasurer Craig.
York some time ago said that exorb;tant
freight rates was the chief source Of en-
barrassment to the company. His words
are regarded here as having quite an in
teresting significance and it is rumoyed
that crushing freight rates may have been
due TO a plan Of Carnegie and other East
ern iron manufacturers to throw cold
water on tronmaking in the South except
where they perhaps have an interest.
The interest recently acquired b. the
PENNSYLVANIA Railway in the Norfolk and
Western system Is said to mean as much.
It is alleged that the iron kings OF the
East have resorteG 10 such a plan to
freeze OUT what has promised to be a
formidable rival. By well-posted men here
here the Virginia company is regarded as
third in the United States in its capacity
for producing pig iron. It is hoped by the
business interests of Bristol however
that the Virginia company viii be able to
secure reasonable freight rate, since no
section OF the country is richer in its iron
and coal resources than this

The Pnsssnx of the Grand Army.
From the Pfttsburg Dispatch,

The best estimates OF the veterans In line fo-
the Grand Army ErcampmeHt parade yesterday
put the number at 3d. 900. This is less han half
the number that turned out in Pitssbvrg seven
years ago and tie fact is foTcibly Indicative OF
the Tavages of time in the Grand Army ranks.
1t must not be assumed that half the veterans
have passed to the silent majority since the an
nual encampnent in Fittsburg. but age and
inffrnity are rapidly reducing the marching con
tingent. The C,rand Army Of the Republic will
soon be thing of the past far as grand paradeS
arc concerned-a memory held dear by the
American people. It IS not likely there will ever
be another organization in every way its equal.

prosoerity in Palestine.
From the London Maill

From the report of Mr.. Dickson. consul at
Jerusalem il seems that the general condition eff
Palestine is now of considerable prosperity.
Trade is improving year by year, owing to the
working OF tie Jaha-terusalem railway, to the
working of conventual and phiiantllropic estab
lishElents in and aroud the latter, and TO the
great increase in the number OF tourists and pill
grims This last is due 10 the growing popu aiity
III Ff-yDt as a winter and to the greater
facilities for reaching the Holy City. New orange
gardens are spreading in every direction inland
from Jafa, so that in the course of few years
the greater part of the plain around that town

EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES.
Constant Increase in Value Every t
Near Since 1850.

The expectation Of manufactures COL
tinues to form the NEST striking feature
of Americas rapidly expanding commerce.
A year ago the record Of 81 ,06G ,900 a day
for every business day In the month was
considered a phenomenal one; now rec
ePd of st.089G00 day for every day in
the month, including Sundays and holidays,
is the ordinary every month affair. Even
in July which is usually dull mouth in
exporting, the total exports of manufac-
lures were s34 ,545 ,0i2, and formed over 80
per cent of the total exports of the month,
while for the seven months ending with
July. the total exports OF manufactures
were $268. 800, 1S9, forming 1886 per cent OF
the total exports during that period
In 1860, exports of manufactures formed
II per cent of the total expectations; In
1870. Is per cent; in 1880, Il IL per cent;
in 1890. IFS per cent; in 1885, % per cent;
in 1893, % per cent IN the seven months
of the calendar year 1900, 1886 per cent.
and in the month of July 1900, $3.50 per
cent, In 1860, the exports Of manufactures
averaged 49, 500. 600 per month; in 1879 they
were little over S., coo, GO per month; in
1880, they were less than 210,O06,0Ge per
month; in 1890, they were 81, 900 per
month; in 1899, they were SIS, G00, 600 Fer
month and in the fiscal year 1850, 1885,
0oC GOO per month.
This rapid growth in the expectation of
manufactures is particularly gratifying
when compass ed with that OF other nations
which have heretofore chiefly supplied the
worlds markets in manufactured goods
In 1860, our total exports OF manufactures
were but $40 ,345, 1872; in that year those of
the United Kingdom were S613. sos. 262; by
1876 our own exports of manufactures had
| increased to SIS, 279 1874. and those of the
| United Kingdom were S9G0.15S,224; in 1850.
| exports of manufactures from the United
States We're $102 856. 015, and those from
| the United Kingdom were $9I0.6S1 100; IL
! 1890 exports OF manufactures from the
! United States were 1851. 102,376, and those
| from the United Kingdom were 81 ,0S9,
| 155, 7S7; in 1900. exports OF manufactures

''What shall give herr" That is question
which desolates innumerable breakfast tables

In enc of the Hanna organs We observe
the interesting statement. that the adhe-
sion of this Colossus of roads is of infn-
ite Importance, because the large army
OF workmen employed upon the Big
Four" system have such complete conf

what is best for them, that they are al
ways eager 10 do whatever he wishes. In
the campaign of 1896, Mr.. ingalls, went
ever his lines, and made few short speech
es to his men with tbs; most satisfactory
results. Although a large majority or
them previously had been Democrats, and
had intended to vote for Mr.. Bryan, a
word from President ingalls, convinced
them that the dearest object of their lives
was to give their suffrages to William Nc
KinIey, as the apostle and champion OF

form the Declaration of independence,
and the Constitution of the United States
1t is expected that Mr. ingalls, will at
