 For Economic Work.

For Economic Work.
 In speaking of the proposed enlarge ments and erections of the new machin- cry at the mines, MT. Beldin, assistant to Chairman Bacon, said yesterday:
 "These plans have been made after much study of the mining question as presented at the mines about Red Noun tain. It is the desire and object of the Tennessee Company to operate its mines on the most economic and also extensive basis possible. The new machinery and the enlargement of the mines, with the increasing of the capacity accompanying the work, will only be a furtheranee of the basic principles and objects of the companys undertaking.
 "It means we find we will be able to operate on a larger and more economic scale. That is all.
 "We anticipate that we will be able to dispose of the entire product of the in- creased capacity of the mines with the same amount of labor we now use in disposing of the present product, and that our calls for ore will be sufficient to consume all we will be able to mine. Work will be begun on the new en- Engagements as early as 1t Is possible to place the machinery orders, and have everything shipped. This work will be pushed until completed
 New Dolomlte Mines.
 The new dolomite mines to be opened for work are situated near Bessemer. At the place all the modern machinery and tipples necessary for the proper mining of this great commodity will be placed upon plans of the most modern engineer ing.

GER MAN ECONOMICS
EXPOSURES OF DlsGRAcEFUL
FRAUDS AND SWINDLING.
COMMERCIAL HONOR TAINTED
The Press and the Bourse Takes Very
Fessimist;c View of the
Country's Financial
Condition.
(By Associated Press

New York. Oct. 11.--Says the Berlin
correspondent OF the Journal Of Com
merce:
Germany is undoubtedly going through
Its saddest economic experience since the
empire was founded. The vel grounded
pride with which German business mer
have hitherto contemplated their excel
lent reputation abroad for commercial
honor, has suffered a most severe blow
The Frankfurter Zeitung admits in a
recent market review that in no similar
period of business depression in Germany
have so many cases of "disgraceful
frauds and common swindling' been ex-
posed. However, it is felt that the sem
sational character of many of the disas-
tiers of the past year have given foreign
observers an exaggerated impression of
the state of things prevailing in Ger
many; not only that these disasters have
created false view as to the average of
Germary's business integrity, but that
they have magnifed unduly the proper
lions of the German crisis as seen from
abroad.
It is pointed out that Germany has a
total Of about $500 joint stock companies.
and that the number of companies that
have failed or gotten into financial diff
fculties constitute but a slight proper
ton of the whole. Still, the bourse views
the situation very pessimistically. Be-
sides the many unfortunate factors in
the situatio itself, addition uncertain
ty comes from the tariff again. Busi-
ness men do not know what will be their
condition under the new tariff law, which
goes into effect Jan. 1. 1904.
The great crisis in the German iron in
dustry. for example, is chiefly due to the
fact that all consumers of pig iron COM
mitted the vast folly at the height of the
book of placing contracts for iron for
several years in advance and that the
high prices then prevailing. Many of
the capitalists that have recently gotten
themselves into financial difficulties
brought on these difficulties by excessive
expansion.
After the present crisis is over an in
teresting chapter can be written upon
he int mate returns Of the German banks
with industrial capitalists. The jaunty
confidence with which all foreign criti-
eisms Of the system was dismissed here
up to a year ago has certainly given
place to more reticent attitude among
dnanc!ers and they are now much more
willing to admit the dangers of the sys-

NEWSPAPERS ROAST BULLER
ness Hurled at the Ex-Commander
Of South African Military Affairs.
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Oct 1l.--Sir Redyers Bull
ler's extraordinary speech is received
with CONSERVATION by this mornings pa
rers. says the Tribunes London cores
pendent.
The Standard alta cks him severely and
tells him that the best thing he can do
is resi5n Ills ,oinliiaIiu OF the
first army corps.
The Daily Mail which considers that
the speech would have been more in
place on the boards Of a theater, points
out that Ladysrnith is exactly paralleled
by Sir H. Parker's famous order to Ad-
.nirol Nelson at Copenhagen to break Off
the battle ana to retire in Order-a re-
quest which postarity has unsparingly
condemned.
On the whole Mr.. Broderck's statement
concerning the South African situa ton is
fairly we'll received. but two or three Of
the conservative papers are not satis-
fed with it. continues the Tribunes Lon
don correspondent. If ministerial OPT
mism was unwarranted - months ago,
why it is asked, should the public have
faith in it today? If the government cam
not contrive to wind up operations with
out much further delay there is little
comfort in the fact that the nation is
employing i great many men and horses
and spending enormous sums of money
over the still unfinished task.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach although he
did rot say much that was new in his
speech. afforded the Information that the
special object of the proclamation Of
martial law of Cape Town was to stop
supplies of ammunition which have been
making their way through Cape Colony
to the Beers.
General Butler talked garrulously about
the condolences and dealt freely in in
nuendoes but he was merciless in attack
ing his own reputation. His attempt to
connect the visit of some blackmailers
of AldershOt with articles written by men
like Spencer Wilkinson and others of the
highest character for the press. was far
cical. He does not seem to know that
men like the Duke of Cambridge have
turned against him on his own record.
