squlers, secretary of legation at Pekin,
IL note from Lii Hung Chang, describing
the regulations for the control of the
mounted patrol which it is proposed to-
establish along the road between Ching

this is the first step of the Chinese au-
thorities toward the protection of for
eigners travelling through the disturbed
districts of the province Of Shansi and
Chill.
Inc regulations are quantity expressed,
but in substance they provide for the es-
Establishment Of military posts at nine sta
tons on the road, the commanders of
" hich are to furnish escorts for travellers.
The escort is to keep within II feet of the
traveller whose pace must set theirs. 1t
is to disperse people who gather about
the travellers and are boisterous, and its
members are not to accept any pay FROM
a traveller under pain Of dismissal A
post will be forwarded every two days.

the miners may refuse to dig coal for

today leads all others in the production
of these articles. 1t puts the total worlds
production of pig iron in 1900 at about
4OOOO,OOO long tons, OF which the United
States made l3,739,242 tons, or fully 81
per cent.
The total world production of steel for
1900 was about 26,S75,OOO tons, Of which
the United States made 10, 1877 1922 tons, or
nearly 80 per cent. The Bessemer pig

tons. The maximum production of Besse-
mer steel rails by the producers of Besse-
nler steel ingots was reached in 1900, when
the total was 2,36l,92l long tons.
The total production of all kinds Of rails
in this country probably win be nearly
2,4OO, 900 TONS
