III the iron and steel trade most inter-

corporation commands so much atten-
lion that investors and spectators alike
are exceptionally watchful of what de-
Velops in metal market conditions; and
observation finds two notable things
one, that better prices are commanded
for practically every article of manufac-
ture, and the other, that advanced mar
supplies. Available stocks of iron and
steel and other metal commodities are
much diminished as compared with even
recent inventories. This results from the
extraordinary situation of last wear

CARRIE in KANSAS CITY
sMAsHER OBJECTS TO THE NUDE
IN SALOON ART GALLERIES.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 21.-Mrs.
Carrie Nation, the antisaloon crusader,
addressing an open meeting of the w. G.
T. u, in this city today, urged the men,
bers to begin crusade against the in
decent pictures that hang on the walls
of saloons.

Instantly came the reply:"f you wash

'You must wash and wash and clean

not tire" ..
While no action was taken, several wo-
men spoke in defense of Mrs. Nation 8

Earlier in the day Mrs. Nation had
entered down town saloon and caused
nude picture to be removed from the
wall.

PLATT AMENDMENT
NAY BE ACCEPTED
RADICAL CUBAN ELEMENT is TAX
ING A MORE FAVORKBIE VIEW
THAN HITHERTO.

HAVANA, March 21-An element of
doubt now exists as to what will be the
final attitude OF the Cuban constitutional
convention. The preponderanae of public
opinion in favor Of the Platt amendment
during the last few days Is having its
effect upon the radical members, and Gen
Sanguilly's press utterancesbt today further
tend to weaken the strength of the rad
icals. Gen. Sanguilly was the most rad
ical of all the delegates. He favored dis.
solving the convention when the United
States congress adopted the amendment
Recently he-has expressed in private the
views to which he has now given public
expression, but few expected him to main
tain the stand. He now says:
"a literal interpretation of the Platt
amendment might mean the loss OF
Cuban Independence but the liberal view
which President Mckinley and the con-
vention would give would leave
Cubans I do not believe that by
waiting we shall get better5 terms from
the next congress. Independence with
some restrictions is preferable to con-
tinuance of military rule, which would
surely follow a rejection of the Platt
amendment. If the Americans want the
Isle of Pines, Lam in favor of giving it
to them. 1 am also in favor of establish
ing coSling stations on some of the keys
or at some of the small ports The pres
ence of the authority of the United
pendence SO far as exterior safety is
concerned and will save us the enormous
expense cf maintaining an army and
raVy.
The committee on relations did not
report today. Probably 1t win submit
it's report to Individual members Of the
convention tomorrow.
The view asserted in the report that the
question OF establishing relations can
not be settled by the convention, but
should be left to the future republic, is
liable to cause a break In the radical
ranks. The conservative element is en-
deavoring to keep the convention from
taking a final vote on the question Until
a committee has been appointed to- wait
upon Gov. Gen. Wood, or to go to Wash
ington.
Gen Miles, who has returned from the
Isle Of Pines, visited the convention with
Senior de Quesada and met many dele
gates, whose acquaintance he formed
during the Spanish-Ameriean war. He
advised them not to act hastily with
reference to the amendment pointing cut
that the people of the United States had
nothing to say but in praise Of the con-
stitution and the amendment was, only
carrying out the Teller resolution and
furnishing further guarantees of Cuban
independence.

CRISIS In PORTO RICO.
AGRICULTURE SERIOUSLY HAM
PERED BY A LACK OFF CAPITAL.

SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, March
H.-The San Juan chamber of commerce
has called a mass-meeting for Sunday
of the principal planters, bankers, agri>
culturists and merchants with a view
culturalists and merchants with a view
the relief of financial depression. The
outcome of the meeting will probably be
a petition to Gov. Allen to call an extra
session of the legislature and to author
lie a loan of SO, ,0000 600 to $5, 100000 for the
benefit of agriculture.
The promoters of the meeting hope to
impress the governor with the expedi-
ency of such measure.
In calling the meeting the chamber
cites the particular situation of the
coffee planters, who are unable to obtain
funds on their crops until harvest time;
crops are already in the ground, but
funds are not available.
The relief bill of the house Of delegates
was killed by the executive council, but
it is now believed that when the facts
are properly reported the former OBJ
jections will be removed.
Small returns are made by large plan
tations solely because of the lack of
little. capital. 1t is a critical time for the
planters There is good authority for
the statement that if the necessary funds
were forthcoming they would yield 80 1.3
per cent on the first investment.
