BIG PURCHASE
OF BESSEMER IRON
U. S. Steel Corporation Buys
225,O00 Tons at $3.50
SALE WITHOUT PRECEDENT
Consumers Are Not All Satisfied APP
parentIy With Promises Of Iron
Sufficient to Meet Wants.
Prices in South Higher.

Clevland. o., April 10-The Iron Trade
Review, discussing market conditions this
week, says:
1.-THE purchase by the United states
Steel Corporation of Us, 600 tons of BESSIE
mer iron last week and 1900 tons addi-
tional this week, for delivery In the
six months between October, 1902 and
April, 1903, Is the most significant devel-
opment in the iron trade this year.
"At 1850 at the furnace, this iron was
sold on a basis about 81 lower than the
price of No. 2 foundry iron at central
western furnaces for delivery this year.
The fact that half the capacity of mer-
chant furnaces producing Bessemer iron
is thus taken up for the six months men
toned, and at such prices, indicates con-
fdence in the prolongation of strong
conditions into next year. as well as the
cooperation of large interests both buy
ing and selling, in maintaining reason
able level of values.
1.-The buying of Bessemer iron, with de-
liveries extending twelve months beyond
the date of purchase, Is without prece-
dent apart, possibly, from occasional con-
version deals The merchant furnace men
were not a unit on this transaction, ana
a number, rather than sell to the big
corporation at the prices named, are hold
ing their iron to be sold in smaller lots
at the higher prices now prevailing and to
all appearances to appear later in the
year In foundry iron the work has only
emphasized the tendency of the market
to cut loose from the attempts OF the
conservative elements in the trade TO con-
troll prices. Consumers are not all salts
fled, apparently, with promises OF iron
sufficient to meet the wants without ac-
companying definite contracts to make de-
liveries later In the year.
The Southern companies announcing the
continuation of the $12 price on foundry
iron at Birmingham have not resumed
selling at that; other furnaces are sell
ing steadily at $14 at Birmingham, and
in some instances higher prices are Sc
cured Northern furnaces have advanced
prices Also not only on prompt delivery,
on which as high as s21 for No. 2 de-
livered has been paid, but on contract iron
for the second half, which some furnaces
are holding at $40 at furnace.

MAY RESULT IN WAR.
Diplomatic Relations Between Swtzer.
land and Italy Ruptured.

Berne, Switzerland, April 10.-Diplomatic
relations between Switzerland and Italy
have been ruptured. This action arises
from the refusal of Switzerland to give
satisfaction regarding an article pub
lished in Geneva insulting the memory Of
the murdered King Humbert
The Bundersrath has sent the following
communication to Parliament:
"Regretable Misunderstanding have oc-
Cured between us and Signor Silverstrelli,
the Italian minister. We have felt con-
strained to request the Italian government
in the interest of good relations of the
two countries to recall Signor Silverstrelli.
The Italian government having refused to
do so, we broke off relations with Signor
Silverstrelli, whereupon the Italian gov
ernment on its part, has now broken or
relations with our minister at Rome. We
shall publish the documents relating to
this conflict
The article which led to the differences
appeared in an anarchist sheet published
in Geneva. Signor Slverstrelli demanded
that the authorities prosecute the paper,
but the Swiss government replied that it
could not act without a complaint being
formally lodged by the Italian govern
ment Italy declined to adopt this course,
and the correspondence became acrimon-
ious. leading finally to the rupture OF
diplomatic relations.

ENGLAND "soRE" ON WALLER.
Say, However, They Do Not Hold the

London, April Recommending on the
evidence presented at the courtmartial
In Manila of Maj. L. w. T. Waller of
the United States marine corps, on the
charge of executing natives of Samar
without trial and on the editorial re-
marks of American papers and news
papers here, the st. James Gazette this
afternoon says:
'Englishmen know better than to hold
a high spirited, honorable people respon-
sible for the dishonor of single crimi-
nal. We have no doubt American honor
will be INDICATED in the same manner
as the British has recently been by an
award Of swift, uncompromising justice to
the guilty parties. In this country our
confidence in American rectitude is in
no degree shaken by an isolated example
of depravity, such as we know from ex-
perience is liable to occur in the armies
of the most civilized and most humane
nations"

KING LEOPOLD HAS TROUBLE.
His Automobile Surrounded by Social
lists, Who Wave Red Flag.

Brussels. April 1o-King Leopald was
mobbed by Socialists yesterday on his
arrival here from 9sarriatz. The meet
ing between the Socialists and the King
was quite accidental, but it was none
the less unpleasant for his Majesty,
whose automobile was surrounded by ex-
cited Socialists who shouted: Long live
the Republic;' Long live universal suf-
frage," and waved red flags in the King
face.
The Socialists had collected at the rail-
road station to bid farewell to members
of a delegation of Spanish Republican
deputies who had attended the Socialist
gathering here, and who had participated
in last nights demonstration. The po-
lice this morning informed the Spaniards
that they must leave Brussels forthwith
and the delegates were escorted to the
station by large gathering of Socialists,
bearing red flags. The King happened to
arrive at the same time and had diff
Guilty in getting his automobile out of the
crowd, but he finally found an oppor-
tunity and distanced his pursuers.

PETRlFIES DEAD BODY.
New Embalmine Fluid Will Preserve
Dead Body for Century.

Battle Creek, Mich, April 10-The body
of John Leek, an aged negro, who died
six months ago. and which was turned
over to an undertaken in order that he
might test new embalming fluid, has
been exhumed. The body has the con-
sistency Of vulcanized rubber, and might
readily be taken for a statue of black
marble, as the petrified flesh is hard
enough to take a polish. There is not the
slightest trace of decomposition or vast
ing the features retaining their fullness.
The experimenter says the fluid will
preserve the body for a century. 1t was
recently discovered by an Eastern chemi
cal company, and this test on the body
of an unclaimed county corpse is the
first made.

that much interest was still being taken
in the local meet. The track was very
fast and splendid time was made in each

odds on him were prohibitive, the fact
that the horse came from the Schorr
