TO RUN CITY COURT UNDER NEW RULES Judges Sennand WiIkerson Plan to Save Time and Money 60 INTO EFFECT MARCH 31 Headings Will Be Heard Before Jury Week and Jurors Will Not Have
 to Be Paid While They
 Are Idle.

Judges Senn and Wilkerson of the City Court have promulgated some new rules of procedure which are designed to ex- pedite the trial of cases. The new rules will go into effect Monday March 31. Under the present practice a case is called during jury week and before the case goes to the jury the pleadings have to be settled Sometimes this may take two days, and during this time the jurors are idle but draw their pay just as if they were serving on a case. The new rules will require the pleadings in all cases to be settled before cases are as- signed for jury trial. In this way 1t will expedite business and save much money, in the way of jury fees, to the county.
 Under the rew rules the week begin ming March 31 will be devoted to both judges to the settlement of the pleadings in all jury cases set for April, May and June.
 Judge Wilkerson will preside in tho first division in April and June and in the second division in May; and beginning March 31 he will settle in the first di- vision pleadings in all jury cases to be tried before him.
 Judge Senn will preside in the second division in April and June and in the first division in May and beginning March 31 he will settle in the second d. vision pleadings in all jury cases to be tried before him.
 Following are the rules of practice on the call for the settlement of pleadings:
 First-Where demurrers are not called to the attention of the court and insisted on they will be considered as waived and stricken from the files.
 Second = Amendments and other plead ings which parties desire to file must be written and ready for filing before the ce SC is callei.
 Third-After a case is called and the pleadings settled, further pleadings will not be permitted. except that (a) amend ments to the complaint will be allowed on such terms as may be imposed by tho court; and (b) that additional pleas, repli- cations etc., If allowed at all, will be al- lowed cnly upon such terms as may be imposed by the court.
 When further pleadings are allowed terms will be imposed unless good and sufficient reason is shown why they should not be.

The first week of March started out and ends with a wholesome, active iron market. The Tennessee Company, the sloss-sheffield Company, the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company, c. D. Buck & Co. and all the other large Iron furnace concerns have been selling and shipping on a large scale The vigor- ous demand for pig iron makes 1t hard for sellers to keep prices down to any thing like the SIP No. 9 foundry basis. Still the s12 basis continued to be quoted.
 Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Birmingham let ter of yesterdays date reads
 "The tone of the iron market is still strong and healthy, and thought most of the furnaces are well sold ahead and arc practically out of the market on good many grades, yet some tonnage was booked during the week. The present condition of the market Is, however, work ing a hardship in some cases. Foundries which for a long time have used certain brands in their mixture now find that not only has their favorite furnace with drawn from the market but they are un- able, even at an advance in price, to se- cure the grade of iron they require. Two years ago when No 3 foundry was quoted at SIS in Birmingham 1t was always pos sible to buy iron at a price, but at the present time it is impossible to secure some grades even at an advance over the nominal market"
 The Rogers, Brown letter of Cincin- natl date. pointing to the upward tend enoy, reads:
 "The peculiar features of the pig iron market quite fully commented on a week ago, continue in a general way unchang- ed. The larger producers in the south have perslstently and consistently re- sisted the temptation to advance prices and are now endeavoring to constrain, conservatively, all producers to join in the effort to maintain the schedule of prices based on $12.oO for No. 2 foundry, Birmingham On the other hand, the comparatively smaller producers claim as comprehensive views of the mutual in terests of producers and consumers.

BOARD WILL DEVOTE
 MONDAY TO NEGROES
Over Two Hundred Voters Were Req istered Yesterday During
 the Rush.

The county board of registrars were kept busy yesterday, there being a big rush on account of the short time remain ing in which to register. Yesterday was practically the last day in which white voters can register, as the sitting Mon day will be devoted to considering the claims of the negroes who want to regis ter. Many of the negroes think there will not be any session Monday and that they are being bamboozled. This of course is not the fact.
 Only forty-nine negroes have registered so far and this number will not be mater ially increased. Over 250 voters were reg istered yesterday and the total number to date is 4750.
 All voters are required to give their ages when registering, and an average of the list Is a little over 41 years.

Charcoal irons continue to enjoy their full share of the great de- mand and the Southern product Is about all taken for the year.
 "The sales of the week have been prin- cipally for extended future delivery. One important consumer placed several orders for the last quarter of 1902 and the first quarter of 1903 The opinion of most of the largest operators in the producing and in the consuming classes seems to be that prices current on raw materials and finished products are to be main- tained throughout the year at least.
 At this season of the year nothing definite can be known as to the farm products of the year, but there Is as yet nothing to alarm as to the condition of winter wheat, though in some districts weather conditions have been unfavor- able"

THE GOLD STANDARD.
Philippine Commission Would Es-

Washington, Oct. 22.-The Philippine
commission is disgusted with the coin
age provisions of the civil government act
passed at the last session of congress,
and will not try to carry them into eff
feet. The sections are not mandatory
and the commission may do asst pleases.
1t was intended to have the mint at San
Francisco, coin lot of halves, quarters
and smaller coins, with a distinctive
Philippine design, to crowd out the
Mexican silver But in the hurry o1
legislation, the senate and house made a
nlix-up OF the matter, and the result was
something impracticable to carry into
effect.
The commission will ask the president
to take cognizance of the matter in his
next message, in the hope that congress
will enact something that will be salts
factory. 1t is said the commission has
changed its mind somewhat, andinstead
of desiring a silver dollar worth so cents
in gold, it now looks toward the estab-
lishrnent of the gold standard in the ar
chipelago.

Chicago Men Sail in Quest of Sup

Chicago, Oct. 22.-Four men have left
Chicago for the purpose of making an
all-water trip to the coast Of Patagonia,
where they expect to locate a gold mine.
The men are Charles Corrigon, Captain
Emery Buzz, who for twenty-five years
has been lake navigator, and two sail
ors who have sailed with Captain Buzz
for long time.
The trip to Patagonia is being made
in a sailing vessel called the Mercury.
The vessel is forty feet long and it is
estimated that it will require nine
months to make the voyage. The
schooner is now in the Illinois and
Michigan canal, to which it made its
way by passing down the drainage
canal from this city. Corrigan is the
only man who has any knowledge of the
mine.

Mr.. YEGEN RETURNS.
Looked After Billings Interests While
in the East.

Christian Yegen, who has been a
subject of a great deal of solicitude
on the part of the democrats during
! the past two weeks, by reason of his
F., absence in the east attending to his
private business affairs, has returned
to the city and will now take up the
| question Of his candidacy for the
state senate.
During his brief absence Mr.. Yegen
spent most of his time in New York
and Washington. In the latter city
he took occasion to call upon the
secretary of agriculture and urge the
establishment of a government ex-
perimental station in this city. Mr..
Yegen pointed out to the secretary
that while the government maintain
ed station at Bozeman it was CT no
advantage to the government or the
people of this section for the reason
of the difference in the climatic con-
ditions of the two localities. The Sec
retary appeared to coincide with the
views of Mr.. Yegen and promised
to look into the matter more thor
oughly at some date in the near fu-
ture.
Aside from attending to his private
business Mr.. Yegen also visited one
of the big woolen manufacturing dis
tricts with view to securing some
one who would take up the matter of
establishing a woolen mill in this city.
He found little encouragement, how
ever, in that direction for the rea-
son that mills and capital are fully
employed in the east. Mr. Yegen is
satisfied that if the city hopes to OBJ.
tain a woolen manufacturing plant
the initiative must be taken by the
business men and capitalists of this
locality.
