Expected That Government VIII 90
Set Up About March I.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.--The Cuban gov
eminent will be set up about March i.
The president and senators win be elect
ed on Feb "a by the electors chosen at
the election last Tuesday when mem
bers OF the house of representatives
were elected. After the electors have
disposed OF their work Governor Wood
will issue proclamation announcing
the choice for president and converting
congress. The Cuban government will
then take charge under the supervision
of the United States, the control to be
broadened gradually as fast as condi-
tons will permit. Congress will assem-
BILE the first Monday in April and by
that time 1t is expected treaty will
have been drawn up between the Cuban
republic and the United States and be
ready for submission.
The eight stipulations that were in
sisted upon In the Platt amendment as
conditions under which the United
States would withdraw and which were
drafted into the constitution that was
adopted last Tuesday were that Cuba
should never enter into a treaty with a
foreign country which would impair her
Independence; that no debt should be
contracted or assumed which the reve
nues of the island would be inadequate
to discharge; that Cuba should consent
for the United States to intervene to
preserve the independence of the island;
that the acts of the military temporary
government should be ratified; that ex-
listing sanitary plans should be carried
out as far as possible; that the title to
the Isle of Pines should be determined
by future treaty; that the government
OF Cuba should sell or lease to the Unit
ed States lands necessary for coaling or
naval stations; that by way of further
assurance Cuba would embody the fore
going provisions in a permanent treaty
with the United States.
The withdrawal of the American
troops will be gradual and the force will
not be materially reduced in the near fu-
ture. When the Cubans are given charge
oru troops will be Withdrawn from the
garrisons about the islands and concen-
treted at the naval and coaling stations
whore many Of them will remain indefl-
nitsly.

Des Moines. JON. 4.-The drouth of 1901
and the short corn crop resulting is
likely to be far-reaching in its effect up
on the hog supply in the middle western
states and especially In Iowa. Experi-
encsd stock buyers say 1t Is doubtful If
the hog feeding business resumes nor
nal conditions for the next two years
The prevailing high price OF corn has
alarmed the feeders and but few of them
are making any effort to hold their hogs
back to the usual time for feeding
Thousands upon thousands of hogs that
in ordinary years would be held for sew
eral weeks longer on corn feed are now
being hurried TO market to avoid cxpen-
sive feeding, and at the present ratio
the country will be denuded of porkers
in a few weeks.
Already the run has been go large at
several big market points that the av
erage receipts as compared with those OF
previous months and previous years
have fallen off at an alarming rate with
in the last few days. Hog buyers say
this is due to the fact that all the mar
ketable hogs have been consigned and
that feeders are now sending In light
stuff and skipps and culls.
At one market the average weight of
all hogs received last week was 1876
pounds, against an average weight of 200
pounds for che preceding week and OF 231
pounds for the corresponding week OF
1901. The average was the lightest in
the history of the yard and the quality
the poorest. Similar reports are received
from all the market points.
Hog buyers have been securing the
country In an effort to secure good hogs
for shipment to the packing centers, but
report that the herds are nearly all
cleaned up. that In many instances
feeders have sacrificed portions of their
brood herds to avoid the cost of carry
ing them over on expensive corn and
that immature and :hin hogs are about
all that remain in the country and that
these are being marketed with great
rapidity.
They say that herds have been sold
down so close that there is bound to
be a shortage next season and that it
will be 1903 before the herds regain their
usual numbers.

Chicago Iron and Steel Markets.
Chicago. Jan. 4.-Iron and Steel, the
organ of the western iron trade, today
says:
The new year has opened with hatter-
ing prospects in the iron and steel
trades. There have been no holidays
Day by day during the past two weeks
orders have been placed with pretty
much the same regularity as at any
time during the year except when there
was we'll developed buying movement
In progress. This holiday trade has been
exceptionally large. but the remarkable
thing about 1t was that there should be
any notable buying at all. In some lines
of finished material there is strong
demand for future wants. Consumers
are ordering for their spring and sum-
mer requirements. 1t is early for buy
Ing of that description, and the explana
ton probably is that the present ex-
treme scarcity is inducing users to get
into line early in order to improve the
chances that they will get the material
when needed. Many of these consumers
are not getting the material they or
dered months ago. The representative
Of one large producer says he has
scarcely one satisfied customer on his
entire list They are all disappointed
In getting the metal to work up into
finished product. 1t is said that there
have accumulated In the Pittsburg dis
trict 125, 900 tons of steel awaiting ship
ment. about 5000 car loads. The rail-
roads can not take care Of 1t. Coke is
In the same condition. There have been
piled UP at ovens about 100000 tons Of
cake, $1,000 cars, waiting for cars, and
many Of the ovens have become idle be-
cause there Is no additional space in
which to store the coke. The railroad
situation lie not improving. One or two
of the eastern lines are said to be doing
little better, but the gain Is not gen
eral. and at Chicago and contiguous
territory the conditions have grown
steadily worse Additional iron furnaces
In this district have gone out of blast
One or two have started up. but no coke
has accumulated and there is no assur-
ance of steady operation. The effect OF
this extensive and protractcd suspension
OF western pig iron production is begin
ming to be seriously felt. Unlesg condi-
lions improve sharply in the near future
