CUMULATIVE DEMAND FOR IRON

Importance of Cheap Ore to Nations
Development
When we look back on the experience
of the past we find that the worlds de-
mands for iron have been so steadily
progressive that 1t Is impossible to
doubt that they will continue so in the
future. There are no substitutes for
iron, nor are any likely to be found.
All anticipations that the demand for
iron ould fall away have, in the long
run, been falsified by results. Twenty
years ago it was believed that the Bes-
semer process, which was estimated to
yield metal six or seven times more
durable than iron, would practically
ruin the iron trade, by the limitations
it would be certain to impose upon the
quantity of metal required for perma-
nent way renewals; and yet more ma
terial is used to-day for that purpose
than has ever before been called for.
many similar examples could be quoted.
At one period 1t is iron for railways, at
another steel for steamships, at anoth-
er for machinery, at a fourth It is the
electrical field that is opened up to the
lroHInakers, anu yet dsdlH, the coH-
sumption of iron is greatly stimulated
by the increased use Of both iron and
steel in buildings, in rolling stock, and
in a hundred other directions Now, in
estimating theNwants of the future, it
is important to remember that all these
demands are cumulative, and that any
particular source of consumption, once
opened up, is not ephemeral but has
come to stay.
A good deal of anxiety has been felt
during the last two years as to the
available supplies of iron ores and fuel.
The total worlds consumption Of iron
ores in 1899 as probably more than
ninety million tons. OF this quantity.

"If you close with the enemy re-
member this: Spare nobody. Make nc
prisoners. Use your weapons so that
for a thousand years hence no China
man will dare look askance at any Ger
man. Open the way for civilization
once for ALL"
SO said Emperor William to his SOL
diers before they sailed for China. He
will be warmly criticized for such talk,
and possibly it would have been wiser
for him to leave some of the directions
contained in it to the commanders of
the troops. But it has the merit of
meaning business, and will please war
like souls. 1t may be noted that the
japanese commander in China has
very much the same notion of what
thorough work there would be, and the
Russians have already been accused of
doing some of such thorough work. If
the allies do really get after the Chi
nese the war will probably be a saw
age one and perhaps the Chinese who
are left alive will be better able to APP
preciate civilization than they have
been

composing the standing army of the
empire.
When the organization of the Chinese
army is described, about all definite in
formation regarding it which is pos
sessed in the west, or, probably, for
that matter, in China itself, is given.
The numerical strength of the different
divisions is variously stated by observ-
ers A British authority places the
troops under arms, or the standing
army, at about 100000 and the third
class, or the reserves, between JIG and
60 years Old at 85S0o0. The first group
of the standing army. or the fighting
troops, consists of so, 900 Manchurian
field troops, 10000 Manchurian irregu-
lars, $4,000 Fighting Braves and 10000
CHEN Chun, or disciplined troops, The
second group, Or reserves under arms,
consists of $4,000 PeAing field troops
rs, 600 Banner troops in Picking, $4,000
Banner troops in the provinces and $685.
600 Green Flags.
If the Chinese were good soldiers
there are enough of them to deal with
any foe. But they are not now good
soldiers, and some think they never
will be. That notion may, however, be
mistaken one.

CHLN-i,N SOLDIERS.

Some information about the military
The organization of the soldiery of the
empire seems to be both loose and COM
plicated. Each province has it's army
at the command of the governor, and
whether the various forces sustain the
central government largely depends on
the inclinations of the provincial rul-
ers. The troops are primarily divided
into four classes. Banner men, who
are the descendants of the army
which established the Manchu dynasty
250 years ago; Green Standard troops,
or Green Flags. who form what Is
known as the Chinese Territorial army,
and whose organization is a survival Of
that which was conquered by the Ban
ner men; Fighting Braves, voluntary
enlisted force, which was first organ
lied under Chinese Gordon and was the
first body to be drilled according to
western methods; Chen Chun, or disci-
pinned troops. who are first-class SOL
diers and the only beef-fed ones in
China, and local troops or raw levies,
who are armed with spears bows and

HOW DAILY SAVED ENGLAND
A Rit of Imaginative History

1
1t is a well known il rarely harped
upon fact that the Peninsula war would
have ended fatally for England, and
| consequently for Europe, In the winter
| of the year 1S0S-'09, had it not been for
an untoward accident to French aide
| de-camp.
AS it is possible that the precise cir
cumstances of the case may be fresh to
| or forgotten by some of my readers, l
think it as well to set them down con-
cisely here. In December 1908, Sir
John Moore, with twenty thousand men
| and sixty-four guns, was marching
! gayly after Marshal Soult, who had the
same strength, with the intention of
giving him such a pounding as would
astonish him. while, unknown to Sir
John, Napoleon himself with fifty thou
sand men, including the Imperial Guard
and with one hundred and fifty guns,
was pursuing Moore with a like inten-
| ton.
The Napoleonic trap was eXquisitely
baited, the very door ready to snap
Napoeon's aide-de-camp was on his
way to give Soult the order to stand at
Astorga and fight, for the moment was
arrived when the English leopard might
be driven into the sea.
Happily for the leopard aforesaid,
Napoleon's messenger came to grief,
and his dispatches fell into the hands of
Sir John, who learned in the nick of
time the fate that was awaiting him.
The sequel we all know; the mastery
If awful retreat across the ESla. the
pursuit by Soult and the emperor, I'M
til the diversion of the latter and his
guard by the Austrian war, and finally
the sad triumph Of Corunna, which in
spired the British Parliament to renew
the strife and gave Wellesley his chance
in Portugal
The manner in which these rateful
dispatches came into English hands has
been variously set down, the story to
which most credeuce has hitherto been
given running that the bearer man
Of cholerc disposition and Incorporate
habits, allowed himself to be drawn
into q tavern brawl and was then and
there knitted, his dispatches being car
ried By his slayers to the English camp
and sold to the headquarters STAFF for
what they would fetch.
This was the view Of the matter
myself until recently entertained. But
since access has been given me to the
papers of Captain Daily. I have been
fain to believe that this admittedly cx-
traordinary business was even yet more
peculiar in its reality than has been
generally supposed. This is my recon-
StiUotion Of the plain tale which The
gallant officers papers (more particu-
larry those pertaining to his card &C.
count attest.
On Christmas eve, 1908, early in the
morning, Captain DAILY was to be found
playing lansquenet with two young
gentlemen and an elder one, who were
assisting him in the arduous task of
commanding squadron of the Horse
Grenadiers thrown forward toward the
river Carton, in the Spanish province
OF Leon. They We're no great distance
from a similar squadron covering the
rear guard of Marshal Soult. and no
doubt. as we understand war nowadays
it was the duty of all to be on the alert;

A Wise WARNING.

The Democratic managers are claim
ing everything, and the Republican
managers are giving out some wise
warnings For instance, Chairman
Babcock of the Republican Congress
sional committee warns the friends Of
the honest dollar that the house Is not
safe. In the present congress the Re-
publican majority in the lower branch
is only fourteen, and change Of eight
votes would convert this into q Popo-
cratic majority. Mr.. Babcock points
out that the Democrats have a great
advantage over the Republicans to be-
gin with in their ability to elect 100
congressman from the solid South
THAT" he says, lis big nucleus,
certain nucleus which nothing can pre-
vent and around which the Democrats
in the past have gathered majorities.
For our part, States which will give
their electoral votes to the Republicans
will at the same time have forty per
cent. of their congressional delegations
Democratic. Just look at the Demo-
cratic representatives in this congress
from New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and other strongholds of Repub-
licanism on national issues
1t is hard to make Republicans afraid
that anything can go wrong this year,
but they VIII do well to pay attention
to what the leaders say. 1t is better to
be safe than sorry.

coyTOy MILLS IN TEXTS.

Texas is going TO have her share Of
whatever prosperity there is in cotton
manufacturing in the South. Since
January | charters for twelve cotton
mills have been filed with the Secretary
of state in Texas, and 1t is expected
that this number will be doubled before
the end of the year. Some of these mills
will soon be in operation, and 1t is
thought that the cotton mill movement
in Texas has been fairly launched. The
average capital stock of the companies
thus far organized is about 100000 and
the companies are composed in large
part of local business men. Before the
work of construction was undertaken, a
thorough investigation was made of the
industry in other States of the South. A
question that cannot be solved by in
ouiry elsewhere, however, is that of
labor. and only actual operation of the
mills will determine whether the labor
to be had in Texas is available for cot
ton mills. For the conduct of the mills
expert superintendent have been OBJ
tanned from the Carolinas Another I'M
solved problem is whether to manufac-
ture coarse or fine fabrics, that question
being raised by fears that the trouble In
China will cut off an extensive market
hitherto open to the coarse cotton goods
of the South. Some of the Texas mills
will be equipped to manufacture both
grades Of cloth.
The cotton mills of New England are
fairly prosperous just now, but they
