PIG IRON STOCKS
 ACCUMULATING
Increased 500 Per Cent. from January to July
LACK OF DEMAND THE CAUSE
The Stocks on the Furnace Yards in Alabama and Georgia Increased from 6, 5,944 Tons January to
 53,937 Tons on July

The stocks of pig iron at the furnace yards in the United States are steadily in- creasing and have been since January 1. The stocks of coke iron on the furnace yards on the first of January, 19O0 were 6S,- 523 tons; on February 1, S6S53 tons; on March l, 119,9S tons; on April l, 142,526 tons; on May l, 1H,259 tons; on June 1, 22S,Oi5 tons; on July l, 325, ,1S6 tons. This shows an increase on July of 97 ,141 tons over June 1.
 The number of furnaces in blast on July l was twenty less than on June l. Many of these furnaces were blown out for re- pairs, while others were temporarily bank ed some having already resumed operation. The average weekly production during June was 240,519 tons, as compared with 24S,S11 tons in May, decrease of 3,292 tons. The total production for the month of June was 1,03O 796 tons.
 The exports of pig iron from the United States for the first five months in 1900 were 5S,077 tons compared with ,043 tons for the same period in 1899.
 The stocks on the furnace yards in Ala bama and Georgia on July 1 were 53,937 tons, compared with 5,9i4 tons on January 1. On June 1 the stocks the yards were 32,6Sl tons, showing accumulation of over ?, ,0O0 tons in June.
 There were twenty-two stacks in Ala bama and Georgia in blast on July 1, with a weekly capacity of 17,S69 tons and stocks in the yards amounting to 5O,257 tons, and sixteen idle stacks with a weekly capacity of 11,419 tons and stocks on their yards amounting to 3,6S0 tons.
 This accumulation of stocks is said to be due to the lack of demand for iron. It is stated that there are few inquiries for iron at present, and that no sales of any magni- tude are being made

CROWDS AT LAKEVIEW
The Largest Since the Opening Nights
 A Delightful Evening

The largest audience of the summer sea- son, with the exception of the opening per- formance, gathered last night at Lakeview to see the Elite Opera Company in the sec ond production of the lively opera "Olivette." It was most favorably received and the audience evidenced their pleasure throughout.
 Lakeview is now recognized as the pret- tiest park in the State, with its great natural beauty and it's illumination of thousands of incandescent lights. The elec- tric fans make the pavilion delightfully."- cool. All this, taken in connection with the parks proximity to Birmingham and the splendid car service, of course make Lakeview popular.
 Last nights performance was a smooth one in every particular, as the company is now thoroughly at home in all of their parts. There are number of attractive songs in "Olivette," and all of them take well. It Is probable, though, that the duet, "I Love My Love so We'll" between Miss Vesey and Miss Scruggs, was the most highly appreciated.
 At tonight's performance one of the fea- lures will be several local hits in Harry Lightwood's successful song, Bob Up Se- renely." MT. Lightwood's originality is one of his greatest charms

HONDURAS DEVASTATED
By Flood Which Started in the Noun
 tains Ten Days Ago

New Orleans, July TIA wide section of Honduras is being devasted by a flood which started in the mountains about ten days ago. The first news of the alarming conditions reached this city last evening through passengers on the steamer Break water. Practically the entire length of the Honduras Railroad is inundated and all traffic has been abandoned In places the water stands six feet over the tracks No attempt is being made to run trains over the line, as the roadbed is very uncertain where the water has subsided. Plantations have been injured and the destruction of bananas by the storm will be very heavy The Breakwater, which usually brings about 1S,00O punches of bananas, brought less than half a cargo because there was no way to get the fruit to the port.
 No estimates could be made of the dam age when the Breakwater sailed, because the flood was still too high to foot up the losses, but the devastation is said to be great and the loss will fall heavily upon the banana plantation owners.

NEW ORE MIN ES
Birmingham Men Operating in Talla-
 dega County-Valuable Property

The Eumawhee Mining Company, char tered in Talladega County few days ago, has begun operations. The officers of the company are as follows: Caldwell Brad shaw, president; Fred Soss, vice president; James w. Mercy, secretary and treasurer The principal office is located in Birming- ham.
 This new organization owns valuable property on Eumawhee creek, less than a mile from the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and the surveys and all arrange ments for building a branch road to the mines have been completed. A mining camp has been established, and just so soon as railroad connection is made large force of miners will be employed. The company has an abundance of fine grey specular ore on its property, and also some brown ore. At the start it will give it's attention chiefly to mining the grey. This new en- terprise promises to become one of the most valuable in the Birmingham district.
 The local name of the creek, from which the company takes its name, is spelled Emauhee, but the United States govern ment spelling is Eumawhee, and the latter form was adopted on the assumption that Uncle Sam was right.

BIRMINGHAM HAS
 ANOTHER HOT DAY
PerSpiring Humanity Hunting for

 Getting Hotter
Yesterday was a scorcher.

Yesterday was scorcher.
 The thermometer got a good start early In the morning and kept climbing up. There was hardly breath Of air stirring, and during the middle of the day the sidewalks were almost deserted. The soda founts and hotel Hobbies, in fact almost every place which could offer shelter from the suns rays, were crowded with perspiring hu- manity, while all whose occupations kept them on the streets remained as much as possible on the shady side Fans and um- hrellas were in great demand.
 It was said on all sides that yesterday was the hottest day, not only of this year, but of any other year "since the war"
 According to Weather Prophet Jacobs, the highest temparture yesterday was 90 degrees, while the day before the thermom- eter went above the 93 mark The hottest day of last year was June 22nd. when the thermometer registered 100 de- grees in the shade and the highest tenn perature we have had this summer was on June 10th, only 9i.6 degrees. So we have really been much cooler this summer than last.
 Speaking of the weather it will perhaps the rainfall since June 1st has been 917 inches over that of the same time last summer From June 1st, 1899 to July 17th, 1e99 the rainfall was 4.5s inches while from June lst 1900, until yesterday it was 1875.

EDITORS NOT INVITED
To Witness Birmingham's Dust Exhi'

It is almost pity that the visiting edi- tors were not invited to remain up until after 12 o'clock last night and witness the most remarkable dust-raising exhibited anywhere on this continent
 The so-called street-sweeping machine was dragged through the streets, and enough foul dust was raised to dim the brightest electric lights. No editor now visiting this town ever saw dust compara- ble to that raised in cleaning the streets of Birmingham last night.

ton. Our soldiers, sailors and represen-
tatives entered into their island, the olive
branch of peace in hand, and with pledges
of protection and a government fashioned
after our own. Tardily, Congress took
up the subject of providing a government
for them in redemption of these pledges.
But again we find the ruling passion
strong, and before they could formulate
and conclude a scheme of government they
stopped to brand it with the sign of the
dollar which by them has been subst-
tuted in place of the sign of the cross. If
Porto Rico can be constitutionally sub
jected to tariff impositions, why not ap-
ply the same remedy to New Mexico and
Arizona?
ISSUES OF THE NEXT CAMPAIGN.
They ask us what the issues OF the
impending campaign will be. We answer
that in this convention is represented the
wisdom, the intelligence, the honesty and
patriotism of six and half millions Of
American voters, already identified with
our organization and installed by the
crucial test of 1896. To these we will add
more millions who have shaken off the
chains of coercion, who have discovered
the mistake they made in giving their
support to a party that used them as
stepping stones to walk into power only to
abuse the sacred trust. Unless every
sign is false in what 1t presages. q
great majority of the intelligent freemen
of this nation are represented here to-
day. We will declare the principles and
doctrines which lie nearest to the inter
ests of those who sent us here and the
people shall say what the issues will be.
PARTY POLICY
ours must be an affirmative, aggressive
policy. A party that contents itself with
simply tearing down what another has
built will never accomplish anything for
itself. 1t will not be sufficient to criti-
cize the record and platform of our adj
versary We must inspire confidence in
our ability and determination to secure
something better. To diagnose and locate
the disease is of little consequence; we
must provide a cure. When we say that
Athe trusts are vicious we must adopt a
plan that will secure their certain eX
tinction. When we charge that the i'm
perialistic plan of government proposed
for the Philippines is not the best we
must stand ready to not only sustain the
allegation but to give assurance of some
thing superior. When we say that of right
we cannot return the Filipinos to Spain
nor turn them over to some other nation
We must be able to say what shall be
done with them.
