FORESEES DOOM
 OF OLD ENGLAND
Henry LabOuchere Peers Into Future and DiSccrnS America Triumph
 ant in All Things.

New York, May 1--Henry Labouchere. in this weeks Truth, under the heading of Morganering and the Moral tells the British nation. says Herald dispatch from London. that it's supremacy in trade and commerce is not only threatened, but doomed. and that 1t will take all the best efforts of which the empire is capa- ble to prevent a retrogade movement. which. if it begins. will increase year by year.
 Mir. Labouehere says: ITO the impar- tial observer it Is a trifie amusing to watch the perturbation of John Bull at. the match of American capitalists
 For generation or two past the gospel of salvation of mankind by the agency of British capital has been preach ed with sincere conviction. Whether 1t was dying nation in Europe or Asia. a rickety republic in South America. ar unreclaimed region of Africa peopled by idolators and cannibais, or even a poverty-stricken British colony, the means of regeneration were always the same--let British capital and British en- terprise exploit the patient thoroughly diseases political economic and social.
 For fifty years we preached this gospel and acted up to 1t religiousiy. Now comes little turning of tables.
 with much larger population and immeasurably greater natural resources the United States offers field for the accumulation Of greater wealth than we can ever aspire to.
 Americans in their turn now aspire to> regenerate the world by American capital and American enterprise. They practice upon the doctrine which we so long applied to the rest of mankind. Lastly for the present, they lay sacrile- gious hands on the shipping by means of which Britannia rules the waves.
 "No wonder John Bull is in comic state of consternation. Instead of the exploiter he Is becoming the exploited.

Wn1141 we sink millions on the conotyucttou railways through the African continGf which cannot yield a return within ek life of the present generation or peeljeG@ the next, the American capitalist d1os] covers a remunerative investment for n16 millions in improving the means of leoq motion in London
 While we spend countless mi1Iiono IF annexing vast tracts in Asia and AfSt1 and maintaining armies to defend thGn with the view of supplying pennfI(r population with goods from Manch410ok: and Birmingham, our German and A1No<r ican competitors supplant us in our SWll<| country. 1 dropped the substance to grasp the e1n1<z ow. but never before has a whole na11o1 deliberately committed itself to this ftlolx
 Our supremacy in trade and commXt1 is not only threatened. but doomed.
 "Tt Is only by the stupidity of equ1oT dering our capital in foreign count11c6 overlooking the opportunity of empl138 ment at home that foreign capitaf &t1E supplant British in any home induotYU.
 But at the present crisis of our eeoz homie history, what are the objects W1<6li chiefly occupy our minds? The rsgenoeoz ton of South Africa by the introduc(ton into that accursed land of Britinh cGl3 tai and labor. the expansion of our ar51Y at the expense of thel labor markel., squandering time, money and energy 0n thea empty ostentation of the coronae>0n ceremony which will suspend industry dislocate trade and divert public thought from matters of pressing and vitnl iu- portance.
 At the moment while we are tlIuf engaged, Mir. Morgan and his colleaaiiof descend upon us seeking what they may devour.
 Almost within an hour of the Kinr'e feast come forth the fingers of mants{' hands and write upon the wall. It neoS be no prophet In this case to interpret ths writing. 1t Is easy to read the warniuf and not dinicult to accept and act urpr it.

STEEL FAMINE CONTINUES.
One Mill Declines 10000 Ton Order,
 December Delivery.

New York, May 1.-ln its current issue The Iron Age will say of developments in the iron and steel markets during the past week:
 The pig iron market has been quiet during the past week. simply because there is nothing offering, business being confined to covering their urgent neces- sites. Buyers apparently have made up their minds to await developments on the question of supplies for distant de- liveries and rely upon the assurances made that the nroductlon will be ample. So far as the next sixty days are con- cerned there Is little chance of any change in the prevailing scarcity.
 The threatened troubles with blast fur mace labor in the Central West over a proposed change to three eight-hour shifts seems to be averted for the pres ent, but the issue may come up on June 1. So far as the transportation of ore and fuel is concerned, troubles are now pretty we'll over.
 The famine in steel continues and high prices are being occasionally paid for moderate lots. Some business has been done in sheet bars for the Pittsburg dis trIct. From Chicago comes the report of negotiations for round lots of foreign steel coupled with advices that the for oign steel works show q disposition to meet the views of buyers here by nam ing lower prices. The figures are quoted certainly under any which have recently reached on this side.
 Consumers of structural material have been finally forced to turn to the foreign markets for a supply.
 Consumption In all branches of finished iron and steel continues exceedingly heavy and there Is no evidence that the present range of values is curtailing it.
 As indicating the situation in the steel rail trade. we may note that one mill vas forced to decline an order for 10000 tons. which delivery was to begin as late as December
 Some large transactions have taken place in old steel rails in the West and more are proceeding. lmportetions, 1t ap- pears, cannot be put through because buyers and sellers are too far apart.

MOVE TO NOLLE PROSSE
SENATOR MONEY DOES NOT DE-
 SIRE TO PROSECUTE.
The Court Declines to Permit Dis 4issal of the Cases, and Win Announce Its Decision
 Next Tuesday.

Washington, May l.--An unexpected move to nolle prosse the three cases oi alleged assault growing out of the alter cation on a street car last week In which Senator Money of Mississippi .oCnductor Q. H. Shaner and Truck Foreman James E. Hooper. of the district fire depart ment. figured. resulted today In postpon- ing the cases in the police court until Tuesday.
 Alter protracted conference between counsel for Senator Money in the district attorneys office, it was decided by them to allow the cases to drop and when they appeared in the police court later MT. Mullowney. the district attorney. an- nounced to Judge Kimball that after in- vestigating the case on both sides he had concluded that the ends of justice would be subserved by dismissing the charges against all three defendants. He would, therefore, nolIe prosse them. The attor- ney for Shaner and Hooper protested against this action.
 Senator McLaurin, Senator Moneys col league from Mississippi. who. with att torney Bell. represented Mir. Money, ex- plained that MT. Money had been confined to his room since Saturday and was threatned with pneumonia. Mir. Me- Laurin thought 1t was unnecessary to state the cause of the trouble" He pro- duced physician's certificate dated yes- terday, addressed to whom it may con- cern, setting forth that Senator Money vas suffering from congestion of the lungs and confined to his room and bed and 1t would. be five or six days before he could leave his house. All he wanted, said MT. McLaurin. was to relieve Sena- tor Money from further prosecution in this case for any alleged offenses charged against him.
 The court stated that the only point was as to power of the district attorney to nelle prosse, which he was inclined to sustain, but he finally agreed to post pone announcing his conclusion until Tuesday morning

 They All Escaped.

Paris. Texas May L-An attempt was made at 9 o'clock last night to hold up the north bound Frisco Express No. G. between Seligman and Washburn, Mo
 Two men boarded the blind baggage at the former place and just after the train pulled out climbed over the tender into the cab and covered the engineer and fireman with revolvers. They ordered the engineer to increase speed, but to stop when they gave the signal. Two miles beyond ScIigman they ordered him to stop. Seven or eight men appeared at the spot designated as the train ap- preached.
 Meanwhile the engineer had pulled the throttle wide open and when ordered to stop was making more than mile g. mile a minute down grade. It was im- possible to stop within half mile. After leaving the confederates out of sight the robbers abused the engineer for not stop ping and ordered him to let them off at washburn a way station. The engineer obeyed and the wouId-bc robbers escaped.
