WEEKLY REVIEW
 0F IRON MARKET
Situation is Unchanged Barring Slight Increase in Strength
THE SALES HAVE BEEN GOOD
Most of hte Work Has Been Done in the Domestic Market, and Few Export Sales Have Been
 Recorded.

The iron market here during the past crease in strength Sales have been good, but all of domestic nature. No export sales have been recorded. =
 In their review of the markets Rogers Brown & Go. say:
 Cincinnati.
 The business of the week has been an active one The buying has been general and the orders comprehended every va riety of foundry iron in addition to con siderable tonnage of Bessemer and basic. The contracts for malleable iron have been of unusual magnitude. Many of the furnaces producing Bessemer, basic and malleable irons are sold out Tor the third quarter of the year, and several to the end of the year. The demand Tor Northern foundry irons has recently been so large that some of the most popular brands are in very limited supply for months to come. Southern iron are stronger The heavy sales the past thirty days have taken off the market the irreg- ular grades that have accumulated, which together with the good orders for standard brands and grades have aggre- gated large tonnage.
 The high humidity the past month, which covered the entire country, cur tailed furnace product to as great an ex- tent as consumption fell away from the same cause.
 The supply of coke has been inadequate, and much inconvenience experienced in cor sequence.
 The Amalgamated strike Is still unad- just at this writing: as by provision of their constitution there can be no bene- fits payable from their treasury during the months of July and August, there is reason to believe that after a much needed rest and recreation the men will ask their officials to recede from their present position and general work will be resumed.
 The local disturbances by the holders will not fortunately, result in an open rupture or strike.
 In view of the labor difficulties and the torridity of the heat during the month of July, the magnitude of the business the past month has been a surprise to all concerned. and there is reason to believe that, with tranquility of spirit restored, there will be likewise corresponding in- creased activity of muscle and the gen eral business proceed on a large scale with appreciating values.

MORALITY IN MANILA.
Capital of the Philippines Compares
Favorab,y with Other Cities.


Favorab,y with Other Cities.
Some wrong notions have been plen-
tifully held in our part of the country
as to v the part of 1t that lies over
against the coast of Asia. We have
supposed that Manila, for example, was
a town of superficial civilization and
that Its few citizens who were not
veritable sans culottes were not true
representatives of their race. We I'M
agined that such civilization as might
be found there by careful combing,
would be no more than relic OF the
Spanish occupation, and that just out
side Of the city gates We should fali
into wilderness and savagery. But we
are learning to know the Filipinos, as
they are learning to know us. we
discover in them possibilities of use
fulness and morality. They are en-
Toying more personal liberty than ever
they had before, and they are moving
toward such political autonomy as Is
good for them. Their progress hence
forth will depend more on themselves
than on their American protectors. and
every move toward better civilization
will be gladly encouraged by our gov
eminent. Already minor offices nave
passed into native control, and some
of the courts have native judges. III
they will show the same honesty, the
same sense of justice and the same
courage and intelligence that we
should expect from American officials
in the same positions, there will never
be occasion to remove them. And the
good things to be expected Of them are
the more because by all account they
are the people not preternaturally i'm
moral. They are treacherous In war,
they lie and steal from strangers, yet
they are temperate, continent and con-
siderate of life; they have pleasant
homes; they can be fairly Industrious
and, with proper education and train
ing, they promise at least as we'll as
the people of the Spanish Americas.
Army officers transferred from the
Philippines to Cuba have been surpris-
ed at the contrast between Manila and
Havana. The latter city, they say, is
far below the capital Of the eastern
group in appearance, in cleanliness OF
the inhabitants and especially in the
outward tokens of morality. In Ha-
vana vice is open and rampant. In
Manila it is at least inconspicuous, and
Gen. Macarthur reports that, SO far
as the social evil is concerned, the city
compares with any In the United
States. Leaving New York, or at least
Manhattan, out of the consideration,
this is fattery.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock
has requested Secretary of War Root
to send into the Kiowa, Comanche and
Apache reservations, in the Indian
Territory, a body of United States
troops to clear these reservations,
which are soon to be thrown open for
settlement of squatters, or "sooners,"
as they are known on the frontier.
More than 1000 of these "sooners"
have entered the Wichita mountains
and taken up mineral claims. The dis
trict, which is to be divided into
homesteads of 100 acres each, Is in the
Oklahoma country. and is regarded as
the most desirable farming land in the
southwest.
The department is determined that
there shall be no Injustice done to the
settlers of this new reservation, and 1t
does not propose that the scenes enact

plan has been devised whereby each
claimant will have an equal chance
with every other claimant. although
only small percentage of those fling
claims will secure homesteads. Already
the applications on file exceed by
many thousands the number of tracts

The town of Duncan, OKLA, has made
a protest against the location of TO-

1t is claimed that the land is too valu-

On the other hand a protest has come
from Texas because the location Of the
main pasture of 100000 acres on the
Texas boundary interferes with free
intercourse of Texas people with the
new settlement and likewise rears a
wall against the people Of that state.
Secretary Root has directed that
troop of cavalry from Fort Sill, l. T.,
be sent into the reservation to clear
them of the lawless element that has
entered. The soldiers will probably be
kept there until the day the lands are
thrown open to settlement.
In the meantime the Kiowa Indians
have sent representative to Wash
ington asking that the opening day be
postponed until Congress can examine
the treaty under which the act was
passed.

Andrew Carnegie is continuing in
Scotland the munificent generosity to
the aid of education as he began In the
United States. We were told recently
of his donation Of 100000 to establish
branch libraries in Glasgow upon the
same plan for which he gave $1,000
900 to Greater New York. Last week
came the news of his gift of 10000
700 to establish free scholarships in
the historic Scotch universities for
poor young Scotchmen.
OF course, this is a materialistic age,
and no one, on this side Of the At
lantic at least, pays any attention to
superstititions. But there are folks in
Scotland (no insinuation is meant
against the Scotch, but their old le-
gends have greater influence than in
this new country, especially among the
folk on the country side)-who believe
that by these donations, Andrew Car
negie will lift the curse from Skibo
Castle, the old estate which he has
purchased as his home in the High
lands.
Every one north of the Tweed is
cognizant Of the fact that blood
curdling curse rests upon Skibo Castle,
and the Scots are asking whether this
curse will work against the American
owner in the same way that the curse
pronounced against the third Lord
Byron (who made a drinking cup Of
the skull of one of the old Abbots of
Newstead Abbey, continued to blight
not only all the subsequent owners and
occupants of Newstead Abbey, includ-
ing the poet Lord Byron, until the late
Colonel Webb few years ago found
the long lost drinking cup in an old
curiosity shop in London. and by re-
storing 1t to the Abbot's tomb at Now
stead put an end to the curse that
rested on the place.

generations.
He is very popular in the district by
reason of the money he has brought
into the country, and is known there
as "Skibo," in the same way as most
