costs more to produce pig iron in tho Urals than in the United States whera ore Is carried 800 to 1000 miles to the coke furnaces and smelters of Ohio and Pennsylvania
 Forty million acres of forest lands ai- lotted by the government to the iron in- dustries of the Urals are still intact in the Provinces of Perm and Ufa. In tbe opinion of the commission railroads should at once be built to connect tbe smelters with the forests, where large charcoal burning should be developed with view entirely to supplant wood as 1uel. Improvements in processes of pie Iron manufacture, long ago adopted by western nations, are also suggested. The commission believes that the annual out put of pig iron in the Uras, now about o45,OOO tons year, may readily be in creased to five times that quantity and that the prices of iron and steel now artificially high, may be so greatly re- duced that there will be no market in Russia for importations
 So the Urals may be advanced to the charcoal age of iron making. The fueS used in making nine-tenths of our piA iron is coke, as this country discarded charcoal many years ago.

CHARCOAL AGE OF IRON MAKING
Why Russia Lags Behind in Steel and
 Pig Iron.

From the New York Sun.
 Though Russia has almost inexhausti- ble resources in iron ore, the country is not yet able to produce all the iron re- quired by the home industries. Business interests complain that metal, and ma- chinery manufactures are embarrassed because so much iron and steel must still be imported. Economists say the country can never attain industrial in- dependence until 1t can make all the iron and steel 1t needs.
 A scientific commission, which has in- quired into the causes for the slow de- velopment of irol production in the Urals, has just reported that the industry Ian guishes on account of antiquated meth ods. Wood Is the fuel used and as the forests have been felled far and wide around the smelters 1t is difficult to bring ore and fuel together. There are no rail- roads, horses being still employed to car ry ore and fuel Consequently, though wages in Russia are excessively low, il

Admirers of "Beaucaire" will be glad to know that a new love story by Booth Tarkington will soon begin serially in McClure's, and it Is said that the new story rings with the same fresh romantic note

It Is said that "Carmen Sylva." the Queen of Roumania, recently sent com plete set of her books to Tolstoi, and with them a note of greeting. She told him that whether he found time to read the volumes or not, 1t would be a comfort to her to know that they were lying on his table. In acknowledging the gift, Tolstoi says: "On the throne or in the midst of a people, woman's heart al- ways has the same emotions, the same poetry, but this. unhappily, is not the case with men,

The latest literary sensation in England seems to be MT. W. E. Henley's attack on tho memory of Robert Louis StevSr- son, embodied in an article in the De- cember number of the Pail Mall Maga- zine about MT. Balfour's life. To say the least Mir. Henley's paper has won for him already an unenviable popularity. For the criticisms made and the accusa- tions seem to be on entirely unimportant matters and in no way commensurate with the storm of words raised over the matter.

Some Neu Books

One of the great successes of the sea- Van Dyke. with illustrations by Walter Appleton Clark. Of the book a recent re- viewer said "The prime qualities of fiction are here; depth of feeling, humor, passion, and dramatic power. The man. ner is strong. searching. masterful." Dr. Van Dyke. who has been pastor of the Presbyterian brick church in New York since 1882 is masterful and charming writer, and much of his recent work has been placed among the classics of the day.
 Readers of "The History of the Lady Betty Stair need no reminder of the very delightful work always given by Molly Elliott Seawell Her recent work, Papa Bouchard,'' is merry tale of Paris life, with illustrations by W. Glack- ems, a gold metallst of the Pan-American Exposition.
 Like Miss Seawell's former work. the very spirit of French farce trips nimbly through this gay, droll little story. The situations, too, are treated with the same dash and spirit which have characterized her former work.
 Henry Seton Merrlman, the well hnoWn author of "rhe Sowers," has written a new work entitled 'eTne Velvet Glove" MT. Merriman is justly considered one of the foremost contemporary writers of narratives of adventure, and there Is no doubt that his latest novel will take high rank.
 The action of the story takes place in the Pyrenees, about 1870. and the char acters are all Spanish. While there is an historical interest, the love motive is stronger than in any other of Merriman's s stories, and the scenes of the story are decidedly picturesque.
 '"The Lyons Whelp,' by Amelia E. Barr, Is fine and moving romance of the middle of the seventh century, in which Oliver Cromwell is wonderfully de- picted as "The Lions Whelp.' through whose courage, incorruptible honesty of purpose and indomitable stand for free dom England's Lion attained so proud and so high a position. Speaking of Cromwell, it Is really remarkable thing the diversity of opinion with which he is regarded even at the present time by the men of his country. And only a short time ago when it was proposed to place a statue of him in the grounds adjoining the Houses of Parliament, there was a most heated debate in Parliament

 A recent review says that indications prove that the interest of the reading public in Sherlock Holmes is increasing rather than diminishing as time goes on. One proof of it Is found in the fact that Dr. Doyle has been absolutely forced to write another Holmes story, and that the serial publications of it In the "Strand' has made the issues of the magazine jump to thirty thousand be-, yond its normal circulation. Indeed The Hound of the Baskervilles'' is creating great deal of interesting comment on account of the growing complexity of the situation. It certainly takes an un- usual amount of patience to read a Sher- lock Holmes story serially, keeping one guessing for a whole month as to what will happen next. While Anna Catherine Green cannot be placed beside Dr. Doyle in literary ability, she has nevertheless done some good work in detective stories in "The Leavenworth Case" and Marked Personal"
 Her new story, "One of My Sons.' is another mystery story of the quality of her former books, and is meeting with praise and general commendation on &C., count of it's inventive skill.

Press Censorship.

The Senate put in much of Wednes-
day in discussing whether there Is a
government censorship of press dis
patches in the Philippines. In a
speech at the opening of the session
Mr.. Cullom, Illinois, argued that that
portion of the Dlngley act authorizing
reciprocity treaties Is unconstitutional
because II conflicts with that portion
of the constitution which confers up
on the President, with the consent of
the Senate, the treaty-making power.
The House was in session Wednes.
day less than an hour. The anti
oleomargarine bill was favorably re-
ported from committee and motion
was made to make 1t special order
for Monday. February 3, but objec'
tlons prevented. The permanent cen
sus bill was reported. No other COM
mittees were ready to report.

A LARGE ADVANCE
Supply was Inadequate, Review Of the
Industrial Situation Points Out
New Record.

r. G.. Dun e. Co.'S review of trade
says: Despite some drawbacks the
business situation continues satisfac-
tory with especially good news from
manufacturing centers. Labor dis
putes are somewhat more numerous
and low water stopped mills in parts
of the northwest. Special lines were
stimulated by seasonable weather. but
the same influence affected others ad-
versely. Although manufacturers of
steel have stubbornly resisted imitation
of prices. the urgency OF consumers
has attracted more importance. Dis
tant deliveries are undertaken by do
nestle producers. but, where immedi-
ate shipment is required, it is often
impossible to prevent foreign makers
securing the business. Last years
official statement showed a considera-
BILE loss In exports OF some finished
products OF iron and steel. As antic-
ipated, the ore companies fixed Besse-
mer at the old rate of S4.25. The re-
markable report OF the Steel Corpora
tion gives some idea of the volume
Of business transacted last year.
while contracts already placed practic-
ally assure still greater activity for
1902. All lines have share in the
vigorous demand with railway and
structural supplies leading, and prepa-
ration for spring work has removed
the dullness from pipe and tube de-
partments. Footwear shops in New
England have large orders for spring
goods and are still busy on seasonable
lines. while weekly shipments con-
tinue to exceed those of last year.
Hides have declined still further.
Textile mills are we'll occupied. For
eign buying of wheat was not percep-
tibly stimulated by the lower prices.
but there continued steady outgo.
aggregating 3,764.S73 bushels for the
week, -four included, compared with
3,324,75S year ago. Consumption
of wheat as fodder or holding back for
higher prices prevents the big yield
from swelling receipts. which for the
week were 2.S40.0S1 bushels. against
2,775,975 last year. The reduced
yield of corn Is reflected in interior
arrivals of only 1878, ,S65 bushels, CON-
pared with 4,90S.962 year ago, while
the high price is responsible for At
lantic exports of 331,S bushels.
against 2.41S.031 last year. Liabili-
ties of commercial failures during four
weeks OF January aggregated $l2.-
902,007, of which $5,6s3,392 were IN
manufacturing, $6.435.9S4 in trading
and $7s2.631 in other strictly CONNER
cial lines. Aside from a few excep-
tionally heavy defaults. the showing is
very good as to manufacturing. Large
decreases appear in liabilities as COM
