Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 2.-The Knox
Vile Traction Company to-day propos-
ed to reinstate all men who quit work
Yesterday because other men had been
discharged, presumably because they
belonged to the union. Five experienced
street car men arrived here this morn
ing from Nashville. They were met by
strikers and two of the number were
persuaded not to go to work. Only six
cars were operated to-day.
one car was ditched this morning,
grease being put on the track on a very
heavy grade.
Al one time during the day as many
as thlrteen cars were operated, but no
attempt was made to run them after 6
O'Clock tonight. The last one in had a
narrow escape. Near the Southern Rail-
way depot a mob of men took it in
charge and demanded that the new
man abandon it. Conductor Hale COM

DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.
Improvement Record Breaking
Aggregate of Pig Iron Shipments.

The General Situation Shows Marked
Improvement - Record Breaking
Aggregate OF Pig Iron Shipments.
New York, Aug. 2.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade to-mor-
row win say:
Continued favorable weather condi-
tons have resulted in the saving of
much late-planted corn, and in the
Northwest ideal weather for spring
wheat harvest has been enjoyed. AS
is the point that business in all parts
of the country has been most carefully
watching, the general feeling is better
than a week ago, at the disposition on
not yet resulted in any agreement. and
the labor situation is thus kept promi-
nent.
Official returns of pig iron production
in the first half of the year show a
record breaking aggregate of 7,674.713
tons, exceeding the remarkable output
of the previous year by 1904 tons.
The second half of 1901 has opened
with much greater capacity of active
furnaces, and the full year promises
a considerably larger total than the
10, 1929 tons produced in 1900. Dur
ing the past week leading mills have
placed large contracts for early deliv-
cry, and inquiries for all forms of I'm
ished steel are abundant. There is less
disposition to pay fancy prices for
products that were advanced by the
strike. which is an evidence of the gen.
eral belief in the early resumption of
work. An unfavorable showing for the
first half year in both exports and out
put of copper resulted in the first al
iteration in nominal prices since the
advance to II cents, eight months ago.
Violent fluctuations have marked the
course of corn prices. The top point
of the previous week was not regained,
but traders on the short side of the
market were compelled to cover at
loss. The decrease in marketing is not
in proportion to the advance in price.
Whatever benefit may have accrued
from the high level of prices. 1t GER
tainly has driven foreign buyers out
of the market.
Dealers In some drought stricken dis
tricts have countermanded orders for
footwear and these cancellations are
felt mainly by Western makers, but
as a whole the industry is in healthy
position. Leather is quiet. shoe fac
tories buying lightly owing to large
supplies taken recently. Liberal arri-
walls of hides tend to depress values.
Wool has at last risen slightly above
the lowest point in four years. The
cotton market awaits the government
report in dull and weak position.
Failures In July were 697 in number,
against 1913 last year and $7,035. 1913 in
amount of liabilities. against $9.771,775
in 1900.

SUIT AGAINST OIL COMPANY.
1t Failed to Comply with the Texas
Antitrust Law.

Austin, Tex, Aug. 2.-Suit is to be
fled by the Attorney General of Texas
to cancel the permit of the Waters
Pierce Oil Company of Missouri to do
business in Texas.
About three years ago suit was
brought against the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company to cancel it's permit on the
ground that it had violated the Texas
anti-tru law of 1895 Early In last
year the Supreme Court of the United
States sustained the judgment of the
lower courts, cancelling the permit.
The company was dissolved and a new
company with the same name organ
lied. This new company was admitted
to Texas.
Under the antitrust law 31,S99 cor
porations are required to file an affi-
davit each year stating I'm effect that
they have not been guilty of restraint
of trade.
The last day for filing these af1i-
davfts is July 81. On yesterday the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company was
awarded the contract to supply all
state institutions with a large guam
tity of oil. Subsequently IL was digcov-
cred that il had not filed its antitrust
affidavit Thereupon the Governor or
dered the contract cancelled and fur
thermore ordered that suit be brought
to cancel the permit OF the company.

of CongratuIntion.


Brunswick, Ga, Aug. Additional
kilograms from Sea Board Air Line Of
fcials reached Brunswick to-day show
| ing the favor with which the Bruins
wick and Birmingham connection af.
fected yesterday with that system was
granted. General Freight Agent Pope
wires:
Telegram received. Most heartily
congratulate you upon completion of
your line to connection with our own.
Heartily reciprocate your wishes that
business intercourse may be both
pleasant and profitable. l have advised
our Portsmouth traffic manager of
completion of your line to said con-
nection."
General Manager Bars wires:
beg to thank you heartily for your
telegram of first, received in my alb
sence. We will be glad to work with
you for the upbuilding at Brunswick
and believe that connection made there
will be of much benefit there as to
u.s."
General Counsel G. w. Z. Atkins, of
the Western Union Telegram Company
wires:
Congratulate you on completion of
the first step towards the Pacific"
The story in to-day's Morning News
of the completion of the Brunswick and
Birmingham to the Seaboard Air Line
and connections having been made was
read with great deal of interest and
President Machen has been the recepi-
ent Of many warm congratulations
since from citizens generally.
Editor H. A. Wrench of the Madison
Advertiser, formerly of the Brunswick
Times. is visiting relatives here and
receiving cordial welcome from many
friends.
Editor Walter Wyatt Of the South
east Georgian came down from Camden
county to-day and reports the rice crop
as being in a fiourishing condition. 1t
will be harvested in about three weeks
time, and unless something unforeseen
happens the planters will reap a rich
yield.
Mr.. John X. Young of Savannah is
here to-day on a business trip.
A movement is on foot here to get
the naval stores men to hold a conven-
tion in Brunswick to discuss matters
that are now being talked of great
deal in connection with their business.
Brunswick is watching the result of
that Chicago movement to start a cas-
sava growing crusade in the South.
There are several cassaya planters in
Glynn, and the success made so far is
calculated to place this section in ia
vor with prospective growers. The cane
and cassava convention held here last
winter gave the movement good start,
and Brunswick's Board of Trade has
lent considerable encouragement to 1t
since.

THE CUBAN CONVENTION.
The Electoral Bill Being Considered
Section by Section.

Section by section.
Havana. Aug. 1.-The Cuban consti-
tutional convention to-day began to
consider separately the provisions OF
the electoral bill, taking up first of all
the qualifications of candidates for the
nosts of provincial governor, provincial
councillor. senatorial elector and pres
idential elector. These provisions were
adonted as embodied in the project
submitted, except that in order to be-
come the governor of a province or d
provincial councillor it is not necessary
that the candidate be the father of a
family or a tax payer in the province,
or the possessor of a degree, or that
he should have held public office by
virtue of popular election.
The question was raised as to wheth-
er the convention had the right to set
tie an electoral dispute. Senior Sanguil-
" maintained that this function be-
longed to the military government.
The convention did not vote on this
matter.
There was also some discussing re-
garding the freedom of presidential
electors to vote for whom they choose.
Senior Sanguilly maintained that it
would be better to elect the President
by the direct vote of the people than
TO have the electors bound to vote for
a special candidate. He favored a
change in the constitution in this re-
speCt
AS a result of the discussion of the
qualifications OF governor, represent
tative provincial legislator or presi-
dental elector, the convention decided
the candidate must be either of Cuban
birth or naturalized with a residence
of eight years in Cuba after the nat
uralization.

GAINESVILLE NOTES.

Town steadily Improving.

Town steadily Improving.
Gainesville. Fla. Aug. 2.-There is
considerable activity in the building
circles of this city. Several handsome
residences win be started IN the next
week or two. Plans are being drawn
for a large two-story residence for w.
r. Steckert. This house will be located
on his lot in the northeastern part of
the city, and will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. Work will begin in a
short time on the repairs to the Ma
tional Odd Fellows Home Sanitarium.
1t is intended to raise the roof on this
building, and otherwise improve the
place.
Next carpenters will be put to work
making additions to the new building
recently purchased by the Board of
Trustees of East Florida Seminary.
This building will be used as a dormi-
tory for young ladies. A large two
story will be built on the back, join
ing the building owned by Mrs. Por-
ter and the one owned by w. X. Bat
tleson. This new addition will con-
tain the mess department and music
rooms down stairs, while the upper
part will be used as sleeping apart
ments There will be accommodation
for forty or fifty young ladies in the
dormitory.
The cantaloupe season has closed in
this section. There were shipped out
by the Melon and Vegetable Growers
Association some eighty cars of canta-
loupes, which brought fairly good re-
turns, though the market has not been
a fancy one.

HOBsoN ON THE NAVY.
Hero of Santiago Wants World
Beating Fleets.

Madison, Wis. Aug. 2.-Capt. Rich
mond p. Hobson delivered an address
at the Monona Lake Assembly before
5000 persons to-day, taking for his
topic THE American Navy" The ad-
dress was vigorous and eloquent APP
peal for stronger navy. Every Con-
gress, he declared, should appropriate
at least $4,000 600 for new warships.
The United States was destined to be-
come great world power, and it was
fitting that 1t should have navy
strong enough to maintain II in every
portion of the globe. This nation was
the natural protector OF weaker nations
and the principle of the Monroe doc
trine and the blessings of free institu-
tions should be extended throughout
the world. To accomplish this great
task the United States should have a
strong fleet in the Orient and retain
one at home. both of which should be
capable of holding their own against
any European fleet or combination OF
European fleets.

DISTRIBUTION OF CORUNDUM.
North Carolina and Georgia Have
Monopoly of This Mineral.


Monopoly of This Mineral.
Washington, Aug. 2.-The geological
survey has issued a report on the oc-
currence and distribution of corundum
! in the United States. 1t shows con-
siderable activity in corundUm mining
in the last few years. Several new
finds in quantity have been brought to
I light, particularly in Ontario, Canada,
where the corundum occurs in a sven
lite and in North Carolina and Geor-
gia in gneiss or a quartz chist. Ex-
cept in Montana the corundum local
ties in the United States are limited
to the Appalachian region, and it's min
! ing has been confined to Northeastern
Georgia and Southwestern North Car
olina, except for the emery mines at
Chester. Mass. Its great value as an
abrasive lies in the fact that next to
the diamond it is the hardest mineral
known to science. Its occurrences are
of much greater variety than formerly
supposed. While the large concentrat-
ed masses are still confined to the ba-
sic magnesia rocks, corundum is scat
tered in small amounts through a num-
Der of other rocks and in aggregate ex-
lists in very large quantity.
During the past few years." says
the report, North Carolina is the only
state that has produced any corundum
and Massachusetts and New York the
only ones that have produced any en-
cry. The mining of the former the past
year has been very much less than of
the latter, although it's market value
is twice that of emery and there is a
large demand for the well cleaned COM
mercial product The reason for the
discrepancy is that the better deposits
have been tied up, an imperfectly
cleaned product has been put on the
market and other minerals have been
substituted for this one. 1t is too soon
to predict to what extent discoveries
of corundum in Canada and India will
add to it's production
