1t Is Said She Induced tBobs" to Go
to War Office and Demand Order Be
Issued For General Redvers Buffers
Resignation.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Interesting de-
tails concerning the enforced retirement
of Sir Redvers Butler are given in dis
patch from London to The Herald. 1t
is an open secret that what is known as
''perticoaU influence has been far too
strong about the war office ever since
the Duke of Cambridge resigned and
the political commander-in-c chief has not
escaped it.
There are many people who are in
clined TO applaud the speech Of Mr.. E.

last at Northampton, who declared that
If Lord Roberts would leave bazaar
openings to Lady Roberts and take the
selections and war office reforms into

Within the last few days her anti

his Westminster speeches. It is said
she induced 'Bobs' to go to the war Of
fee and demand that an order be issued
for General Buffers resignation.
Such an order was issued, but old
Butler replied with a fiat refusal to re-
sign.
Then Lord Roberts and Mr.: Brodrick
put their heads together and waited for
the kings return to London TO lay be-
fore his majesty the alternative Of Bull
ler's dismissal or their resignation. AT
first the king refused point blank TO
countenance any such drastic proceed
ings.
Lord Roberts and Mr.. Broderick
threatened TO resign instantly unless
royal mandate was issued for Buffers
decapitaUion.
His majesty used every effort TO in
duce the chief to recon

finally discovered this was out of the

IRON TRADE SITUATION.
Manufacturers Predict Another Year
of Prosperity.


CLEVELAND. O., Oct "a The Iron
Trade Review, discussing the market
conditions this week, says:
"The week has brought added strength
to the situation. Whatever of easier
conditions is to be encountered later on,
there is no foreshadowing of it in actual
events No revival of export trade is in
sight, but home demand is so broad and
so strong that iron and steel manufactu.
rers speak confidently of the first half
of 1902, while many do not hesitate to
predict another year of pronounced pros
perity.
The one overshadowing feature of the
iron trade today in all departments Is
the unprecedented friction resulting
from the failure Of the railroads TO pro.
vide for the freight offered them.
The story or oar shortage is so famil-
lar as to lose it's force, but the present
congestion is without parallel in the
records of 1899 and with many manu-
facCurers and consumers is the upper.
most question, beyond any considera-
tion of prices of production. No cessa-
tion is in sight before the close of the
navigation season.
1.-The mills that were closed by the
strike have made no great headway as
yet in replenishing the stocks in dlstri-
butors' hands, depleted in the weeks Of
shutdown, and will pass into the new
year under full headway, with pros
poets of operation throughout the win
ter at the present record pace. The
strong factors IN the situation that have
been pointed out, week by week, seem
TO be emphasized. The railroads have
placed rail contracts that insure the op-
Grafton of the United States Steel cor.
poration's rail mills up to September,
1902, and the presumption is that other
producers are not far behind"
