tons of southern foundry fron4 to pipe
interest, reported from Chicago, little ap-
pears to have been done, and buyers gen.
orally are purchasing from hand to
mouth. In ResSemer pig a steel plant in
western Pennsylvania has purchased TO-
600 tons and the market is steady. In east
ern Pennsylvania there were sales of
basic pig to the extent OF 5000 to 10000
tons.
The rail trade has been rather quiet.
Spot steel continues to command a small
premium. the heavy producers being be-
hind on deliveries. A consolidation or
community of interests among the large
companies would be particularly powerful
in this branch and would probably con
tinue in emphasized manner the policy
of the billet pool, with the tendency to
force outsiders to, erect their own OPEN
hearth steel plants.
Good reports come from various trade
eenters relative to the volume of business
in structural material Pittsburg reports
the placing of the Frick building and
some other contracts, while Chicago notes
some good business.
For time there was some irregularity
in the price of steel bars in certain west
ern districts, but the market is steadier
there now. The tonnage seems to be
good. In eastern Pennsylvania and the
tideWater markets business is dull and
an easier feeling prevails

THE MOSQUITO AN AID.
Assists in Spreading the YelloW
Fever in Cuba

Havana, Feb. An interesting paper
was read before the Pan-American
Medical Congress by DR.. Reed on the
propagation of yellow fever by mos
quitoes. The specific clause Of yellow
fever still continued unknown he said,
but the work of the yellow fever COM
mission at QuemadOs had conclusively
proved, in his opinion, that the mos-
quito served as an Intermediary in con-
veying the disease. the spread Of which
was due to this medium alone. The
commission had concluded. therefore,
Dr- Reed added, that the disinfection of
clothing was not only unnecessary but
useless owing to the impossibility of
contagiOn from such a source. The ex-
periments of the commission showed"
said DR.. Reed, chat the mosquito is un-
able to propagate the disease until Il
days after being infected, and is only
infected by biting a yellow fever patient

Christian Scientist Says She Made

New York. Feb. Five hundred
Christian Scientists made second ap-

In the course Of the hearing state
ment was made by DR.. Van Fleat. of
New York. He said: mo one believes
nowadays that the Savior performed the
miracles that the Scriptures ascribe to
Him. They are only meant as i1lustra-
tons OF what faith might accomplish if
strong enough.
The Bible account OF His so-caIled
cures is merely a series Of parallels.
Christian Scientists who say they can
cure smallpox by praying, and that this
Is what Christ did. are sacrilegious."
Mrs Laura Lathrop, of New York
who is one Of the best known Christian
Scientists, said.

| ~ HE Globe Navigation Company
| steamer Meteor arrived at this
- port yesterday morning at about
$50 She brings about LOO tons of
freight for this port, consisting of lum-
Der, flour and beer. She also brings a
wagon and fine team of horses for the
Seattle Brewing Company in this city.
| The Meteor and her freight are con-
signed to the Globe Navigation Com
pany Mr.. L. E. Bebee is the agent of
the firm in this city and is at present
stopping with the McCabe, Hamilton &c
Rennie Co.
The Meteor was built at the Craig
shipyards in Toledo, Ohio, and was
completed in April, 1901. She is big
ungainly looking box of the same type
as most of the great lakes craft. She
has powerful machines, however, and is
capable of holding about 300 tons of
freight, although her net tonnage is
only 1866 tons. She is probably the
first steamer of her type ever seen in
this port.
After the Meteor had been launched
she proceeded to Baltimore, where she
took on board about 3,700 tons of coal.
While she was in this port a few of her
plates, which had been injured during
her passage through the canals, were
repaired.
From Baltimore she started on her
long journey through the straits of
Magellan to San Francisco. During the
trip the wire connecting the tiller with
the engine-room had parted and the
Meteor had to put into Rio Janeiro to
have it repaired. At that port she re-
NAMED for about seven days, where
upon she proceeded in fair weather on
her voyage through the straits of Ma
gellan. but on coming off Cape Pillar
she encountered terrible Southwestern
ly gale which caused her to heave to
for thirty-five hours After this she
had fair weather during the whole voy-
age to San Francisco at which port /
she discharged her coal and sailed for
Seattle whence she left on the 10th of
October at 1920 D. m. for Honolulu, thus
making the trip in about eleven days.
The officers of the Meteor report that
the Tampico, which was expected to ar
rive at this port some time ago, is at
present being overhauled and furnished
with electric lights, a refrigerator and
possibly new shaft. They expect that
the Meteor will be fitted in the same
way when she returns to Seattle. The
Meteor's master, Captain Jensen, was
formerly in charge of the Tampico, but
when the captain who had taken the
Meteor from the East to Seattle re-
turned to the great lakes Captain Jen-
sen was placed in command of the
Meteor The vessel is at present lying
at Brewers wharf where she is dis
charging.
