IBRAHIM.

the most magnificent specimen of
manhood she had ever met. Tall,
straight, muscular, with the deepest

he formed modern combination of
Hercules and Apollo. But, if he had

women who had been less generously

riches.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, August ar. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review OF Trade to-mor-
row will say:
Continued favorable weather cOndi-
lions have resulted in the saving of
much late planted corn, and in the
northwest ideal weather for spring
wheat harvest has been enjoyed. AS
this is the point that business in all
parts of the country has been most
carefully watching, the general feeling
Is better than week ago, although the
disposition on both sides to settle the
steel strike has not yet resulted in any
agreement and the labor situation Is
thus kept prominent
Official returns of pig iron production
in the first half of the year shows rec
ord breaking aggregate of 1874, 10 tons,
exceeding the remarkable output or the
previous year by 32,044 tons. The sec
ond half of 1901 has opened with
much greater capacity OF active 1ur-
naces, and the full year promises
considerably larger total than the 49,
1885, 42 tons produced in 1900. During
the past week leading mills have
placed large contracts for early deliv-
cry and inquiries for all forms OF I'm
ished steel are abundant. There is less
disposition to pay fancy prices for pro-
ducts that were advanced by the
strike, which is an evidence OF the gen.
eral belief in early resumption OF Work.
An unfavorable showing for the first
half year in both exports and output OF
copper resulted in the first alteration
! in nominal price since the advance to
II cents eight months ago.
Violent fluctuations have marked the
course of corn prices. The top point
of the previous week was not regained
but traders on the short side or the
market were compelled to cover at
loss. The decrease in marketing is not
in proportion to the advance In price.
Whatever benefit may have accrued
from the high level of prices, 1t certain

market. Atlantic exports for the week
amounting to only 764,17S bushels,

Wheat is of less interest to specula-

pitched creditable game for Dayton

due to brace of three singles by Han

produced two runs for the visitors
through Kane's double Thoney's single
and an error by Gochenour. The error
was previously responsible for the two
runs. 1t was credited to Goshenour,
who collided with Miller while both
were going after Hinton's high fly.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 2.-Presi-

CLEVELAND, O., August 1.-The
big steel combine is utilizing negro
labor to supplant it's white workmen in
the Newburg mills here. Already a
couple of hundred Of brawny colored
men have come to the city from Pitts
burg, Home stead and adjacent iron CEN
ters in Pennsylvania. They are
brough here by one OF their own race,
who is acting as agent for the steel
corporation. When the colored men
arrive they are sent to the mill, where
large dwelling house is used as a
domicile.
Many more negroes, 1t is said, will be
brought here and general emigration
of colored workmen familiar with the
manufacture of iron and steel, from the
South, is prophesied by colored agent
of the steel corporation.
The negroes from Alabama and Ten

ty, see in this strike a glorious oppoE-
tunity to improve their condition and
they are ffocking North in large num-

1t is also asserted that the steel cor
poration has given authority to its
agents to gather all the colored iron
workers possible and to center them at
the various points of the strike.
1t is claimed that the men who are
going into the mills here are practical
iron workers, having done similar work

A LIVELY TIME.

PITTSBURG, Pa, August "A late
despatch from McKeesport says:
McKeesport had quite an exciting
time tonight and rumors regarding the
strike situation were rife. The most
important report, and one which is
given much credence. was that the en-
ployes OF the National Rolling Mill and
the Boston Iron & Steel works, both
plants of the National Tube Company
would be called out on strike IN the
morning.
The employees of the plants have been
organized to a certain extent and 1t is
said that organizers from Pittsburg Will
arrive in McKeesport tomorrow and
complete the organization. If the two
plants are called out, as is expected,
the entire workings of the National
Tube Company will be crippled and II
Is doubted If they would be able to turn
a wheel Between 5000 and 10000 men
would be affected.

Presence of Strike Breakers Threat
ened to Cause Serious Trouble.
McKEESPORT. Pa, August 1.-The
presence of three supposed strike
breakers was the cause of considerable
excitement here yesterday afternoon
and evening, and the news of the
breaking off of the peace conference
added to the confusion. The men de-
cided that the Dewes Wood manage
ment was trying to get enough men to
start up the mill and all patrols and
pickets were doubled. The first of the
supposed strike breakers was discovered
about four o'clock in the afternoon
and gave his name as Edward Meyers.
He frankly announced his intention of
going to work in the Dewes Wood mill,
and YVES told just as frankly by the
patrol which was questioning him,
that such move would result in some
accident occurring to him. He was put
on a street car and taken to Pittsburg
by several strikers.
Two more men were found in the
evening and after considerable ques-
tioning were requested to leave town.
