Here is the opinion OF the corre-
spondent of the Times OF India on the
American soldier as fighting man:
Il think if there had been no fight
ing all the foreign observers would
have gone back to their homes with a
very poor opinion of the efficiency of
the American troops. Luckily for
General Chaffee and his soldiers there
was fighting. When you see an Ameri-

found everybody felt sure that 1t was

appear at midday meal some OF his
companions remembered that they had

had deserted Yet this soldier was no
other than Norel. On another occasion
the bandit, after being condemned to
death in Spain. was placed according
to the usual custom. in the prison

execution. and when night came he
expressed a desire TO see priest. HIS
request was granted, and when the

his hands the heavy crucifix. and rails

such force on his skull that the I'M
fortunate man was felled lifeless to
the ground. The soldiers on guard
heard the body fall, but they paid
no attention to it. and when a man
wearing the vestments Of priest came
toward them from the gloom and, after
blessing them. passed through the
heavy gate OF the prison they never
suspected that it was the notorious
murderer. who had thus once more
escaped the clutches of the law. The
police of Algiers are not lacking in
alertness or zeal. yet in view Of Norel's
amazing record there are many who
think that he will easily evade them.

police were quickly on his track. but

the police came on him and again he

assassinated seventeen persons and
has been condemned to death on three
occasions. He escaped from prison

was on guard near his cell Then he

The greatest city on the South
American continent is Buenos Ayres.
The population is believed to exceed
100000. 1t was officially estimated to
be over $4,000 at the close of 1899 and
the increase is calculated to be close
to 10000 year. Therefore. New York.
Chicago and Philadelphia are the only
cities in the United States which sur
pass the Argentine metropolis in the
number of inhabitants. There are
only about ten cities inhabited by
white men in all the world which are
bigger.
Size is not the only notable form of
development. The revenue OF the city
is about $s.000,O00 year in gold. Its
streets and parks are lighted by more
than $1,000 gas Jets. over 5000 lamps

STEEL TUBE CONCERN
w. w. Gibs Says He Knows of No Such
 Combination.

Philadelphia, December 31.-W. w. Gibs, who arrived here today from Pittsburg, gave out a statement regarding the report that he is interested in the proposition to form a combination of the steel tube con- cerns in this country. He said
 "I do not know of any steel tube combi- nation nor am I seeking to affect further consolidation of steel tube interests, since they are practically united in the National Tube Company, which owns almost all the important tube plants in the United States. can only ascribe the rumors of my con- nection with a tube project to the fact that I am connected with a company in course of formation which proposes to en- ter upon the business of manufacturing tubes under a process which is successful in England and under which 1t is claimed far better results are being obtained at Q big reduction in cost over the process now in use in the United States.
 i"Our experts are now on the way to Eng land, to personally observe the practical working of the process and as soon as the experts confirm the reports of the English experts we shall at once negotiate for the purchase of three or four large works"
