 It was proposed that after Marrequin had been deposed that the former Presi- dent was to be installed in office, there to remain for short time, after which General Ospina, who had resigned his po- sition as minister of war and who was said to be implicated in the conspiracy was to assume the office of President As shown by the press dispatches. how ever. the plot failed.

STEADY STREAM
 OF BUYING ORDERS
DEMAND FOR IRON so GOOD THAT SOUTHERN PRODUCERS OF PIG HAVE THOUGHT TO INCREASE PRICE.

New York. october s1.-The Iron Age says:
 ''There has been some discussion among Southern makers of pig iron of the ex- pediency of announcing further increase in the price of pig iron of 50 cents per ton. Conservative councils have prevail ed, however, and it was decided to let well enough alone There is steady stream of buying orders in moderate quantities, widely distributed, for delivery up to February. indicating confidence in the manufacture, but showing little dis position on the part of buyers to contract far enough, except when necessary to stock up in anticipation of the closing navigation.
 "As bearing upon the question of the magnitude of the consumption the posi- tion of the cast iron pipe in iron trade is significant, because this interest is lit- tie affected by what may be doing in Wall street. The flow of moderate-sized orders for prompt delivery has been ex- ceptional for this season of the year. Never in the history of the pipe trade
 
 leading municipalities are coming into the market, too, unusually early New York has just called for about 5000 tons, and Boston will soon be in the market for an even larger amount.
 ''The steel situation shows little change. Those who are caught with belated de- liveries or without covering contracts are paying such premiums that the question of building steel works is obtruding it. self A significant transaction has been the sale of German basic steel delivery west of Pittsburg with more business pending.
 Prices for finished iron and steel while very remunerative, do not thus far ap- pear to have had the slightest effect in checking consumption Still hint in that direction is conveyed in the reports of the western bar trade. That same branch in the east is beginning to complain of a slackening volume of work In at least one line, which was affected by the trade in sheets, deliveries are becoming prompt CT. In others, notably in tin plates, many stories are current of orders untitled for which speculations were put in as early as May. The outlook for structural work Is bright A heavy tonnage has already been booked and good deal of work is in sight. On the lakes a number of orr ders for ships have been booked and the yards are full to overfiowing. Tn the copper trade there is substan tial unanimity of opinion as to the 1 strength of the market.

Error in Report of Harbor Estimates

Washington, October 31.-General Gillespie, chief of engineers, said to- day that an error was made in his office in making up the estimates for river and harbor works for the fiscal year. According to the original fig ures these estimates aggregated about $12,vvo,000, whereas in fact the esti- mates totalled $20,000,000 The error occurred by giving the total estimates tor rivers, and emitting the additional estimates for harbors. The estimate of $20,000,000 is exclusive of the esti- mate of $7,000,000 for works under con tinuing contracts.

DEATH OF COL. ]. L. POWER.
Mississippi Loses An Honored and Be-
loved Citizen.


JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 24.-Col. j. l..
Power died at 1892 o'clock this morn
ing.
Col. John Logan Power was one
of the most distinguished citizens OF
the State of Mississippi, and one OF
the most useful-a man who will be
missed, and whose place can not he
filled. He was 81 years of age, and
had lived in Jackson nearly, II not
quite, half century. He was native
of Ireland, but came to this country
when 16 years of age, penniless, and
learned the printers trade at Lockport,
N. Y, and where, by the way, he
visited few weeks ago. From Lock-
port he drifted down to New Orleans,
where he followed his profession for
some time, and then came to Jackson,
where he has remained ever since, save
during the war between the States,
when he gave four years to the South,
going in as a private and coming out
as colonel.
Some time after the surrender he
embarked in a newspaper at Jackson
and was for many years partner witt

LYING NEVER JUsTIFIABLE.
Chancellor Andrews Corrects a Report
Concerning His speech.

LINCOLN. Neb., Sept. 23.-Chancellor
E. Benjamin Andrews of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, gave to the AS
sociated Press this evening a correc-
ton and denial of a report started at
Chicago concerning an address he re-
Gently delivered there. The chancel-
lor said
"A report is in circulation to the
effect that in lecture on veracity last
month at the University of Chicago l
taught that under certain clrcum-
stances lying is justifable. This re-
port is absolutely false and without
foundation Some careless reporter
must have ascribed to me view which
| mentioned only TO refute 1t. In the
lecture referred to. l maintained with
all the logic and warmth at my COM
mand that lying is never justiiable
under any circumstances or for any
purpose whatever. No other idea or
meaning could have occurred to any
attentive listener.

THE BOER CAMPAIGN.
Evident That the Fighting Is NOT fet
Over-Anairs In Cape Colony
Not Satisfactory.

New YORK, Sept. 23.-In financial
circles the opinion is growing that
there will have to be further borrow
ing by the British government as the
result of the continued lighting IN
South Africa, says the London CORE
spondent of the Tribune. The only re-
lief to the drain upon resources OF the
nation is the money which is expected
to be realized by the sale of arms De
longing to those lrreconcllap!e
burghers who have left their wives and
children to the care of Lord kltcheh-
er. This relief can only be very trln-
ing. however, and it is hardly likely TO
have an appreciable effect.
Commenting upon the military situa-
ton the correspondent says;
"The newspapers are clamoring lot
energetic prosecution of the struggle
and are pleased to be able TO print
Lord Kitchener's announcement OF the
canture of Koch's commando and the

successes are regarded as some compen-
sation for the reverses reported last

The apparently inexhaustible supply
of ammunition which the Beers have
at their command is the subject OF con
