deputies were sent out to srrest her.
When they reached the Purcell house
they found the girl and her mother in
duiging In a spirited argument. On tell
ing Miss Purcell that she was wanted at

pany them without demur. and made no
objection whatever.
The hearing was held Immediately after

RE-SH|PPED FROM ORIENT.
AMERICAN IRON COMES BACK FROM
JAPAN TO THIS MARKET.
Merchants Who Purchased IL when
Price Was Low Now Find More
Profit i'm selling 1t Here Than In
Japan-Railroads Are Worried.

A peculiar Industrial condition has
been brought 10 light by a shipment OF
iron from Japan to Seattle destined for
the East The same Identical metal went
TO the Orient from this port las, June
and after crossing the ocean twice and
paying all freight charges IL now TO be
put on the American market and sold at
a profit
The shipment, which consists OF several
hundred tons. was made through Seattle
when iron was selling at a low price. The
order was one that had been taken from
an Oriental firm some months previous
to Its shipment. and the price at which It
was booked Is said to have been even
less than the list at the time Of the ship
ment There is a greater profit TO the
Oriental merchant in shipping the iron
back 10 this country than there is in
holding 1t longer for sale In the home
market
Aside from the rapid advance In the
price of iron In this country there IL an
other reason for the shipment coming
back here Since the beginning OF the
present troubles In the far East there
has been a partial cessation OF railroad
construction and a falling on In the de-
mand for all kinds OF iron manufactures
There Is stiii another and more serious
side to the matter.
The transcontinentai lines for the past
three months have nstieed a remarkable
falling OF In shipments of iron to the
Orient. II was known that the cessation
OF railroad construction had a great deal
10 do With this, but should the shipments
of railway material back to this country
continue for any great length OF time II
will mean, II Is said, that the western
transeontinental lines win lose the profits
OF hauling this product to the West as
1t is said that the greater portion of that
now coming from the Orient will be used
by the Western lines which otherwise
would have to make their shipments from
the East.
Another thing has been discovered that
will AFFECT the earnings OF the Western
lines. During tho year 1889 a large
amount OF cotton was shipped from this
port to the Orient. At that time the
price OF cotton was far below what It
IL at the present time and for tho same
reasons as In the case Of iron both
China and Japan are now shipping large
amounts of the cotton they have on hand
to Europe Every bale that Is sent 10
these markets from the Orient, 1t Is said.
kills sale in the United States and takes
from the railroad companies haul that
otherwise would be theirs.
II is said there Is at the present time
very large amount OF both iron and
cotton in the Orient.
