ARBITRATION WINS,
Has Settled Two Important Labor Dis
 putes In Chicago.

Chicago, June 12.-Arbitration of labor disputes has won two important victories in Chicago. The teamsters have reached an agl cement with the team owners and after long confer ence between the officials and employ. CTS of the City Railway Company an arbitration agreement has been ad- vised. This ends the last danger of a strike on the Southside traction lines.
 Committees of the teamsters' unions and of the team owners and employers met and agreed to submit to arbitra- tion "all differences between the con- tracing parties which do now or may arise during the life of this agree ment."
 The agreement lasts one year from date. The traction agreement provides that all disputes for a period of one year are to be settled by an arbitration board. There is to be another special arbitration to pass upon the statement of the discharged employees now out. The company gives full recognition to the union.
 The officers of the United States Brewing Company have decided to ac- cede to the demands of the unions for an increase of $5 per week, rather than risk a sympathetic strike in their plants.

Witnesses Before Senate Committee Say Instructions to Soldiers Were to Treat the Soldiers Hu-
 namely and They Did So.

Washington, June i2.-Mark H. Evans, of Des Moines, Iowa, formerly sergeant of Company F, 32d volunteer infantry to- day testified before the senate committee on the Philippines concerning the admin istration of the water cure to the Fill- rinos or four different occasions during his service in the islands. He also re- lated .he particulars of the burning of several native villages. All these events occurred, the witness said, during the year 1900, in the province of Batan, ls- lend of Luzoa. and in or near the town of Ornao. In enc case the cure was ad- minist cred by native scouts and in others by American soldiers. The victims Of the cure were not seriously affected. The cure vas administered to secure con .ession regarding the whereabouts of in- .urgentJ and guns and had been success ful in enc case MT. Evans said he had been present at the burning of four or five native villages and tha the destruc- tion of these places mad been due to the nrt sence of insurgents. The orders were to destroy all the native huts along the coast near lDtll OuDtai'i8 hSA iN' miles in Batan province, so as to force the natives to come in, and this, he said Has done.
 He said the orders to the troops was to treat the natives humanely, and with the exceptions noted, their treatment had l been in accord with these instructions The natives had not, on the other hand, shown any appreciation of this consid- eration.
 Edward J. Norton of Los Angeles late private in Company L, Eighteenth Uni ted States Infantry, was the next wit ness He served in the island of Panay. Replying to Senator Culberson, MT. Nor ton stated that except in Isolated cases the treatment accorded the natives by United States soldiers was humane, and that all that could be expected or de- sired"
 In the isolated cases referred to he said tho treatment was not consistent with humanity and the jaws of war. l It was the practice in marching through villages" the witness related, when fired upon by the natives, to im- mediately burn their houses,
 He said that the Filipinos regarded the 1 l5il.dness Of the troops towards them as a
 weakness, and became bold in conse- l quonceo also that the general under stand

BUSINESS MEMS
 CONFERENCE HELD
COMMERCIAL BODIES START A FRESH AGITATION FOR A R. R. COMMISSION ELECTED BY THE PEoPLE-SEcRET SESSION.

Twenty-five or thirty representatives of commercial bodies in Alabama held a conference at the Morris yesterday for the purpose of discussing the question of freight rates and organizing a campaign to induce the next legislature to change the railroad commission law and have the commissioners elected by the people.
 This question was agitated by the the Transportation Bureau of Birming- ham two years ago, but nothing came of it. The last agitation was conducted by a few prominent wholesale merchants and shippers in the name of the Board of Trade just before the constitutional convention met. with a view of having a law incorporated in the new constitution which would provide for the election of railroad commissioners by the people, but tncre were no results.
 The conference yesterday was held be- hind closed doors and the proceedings were not given to the press. Judge W. H. Tayloe of Uniontown presided and committees were appointed to prosecute a vigorous canvass.
 Mir. Charles Henderson, president of the Board of Trade of Troy, who is ac- that candidates for the legislature would be asked to pledge themselves to a peo- ple's railroad commission.

President Thomas Leaves After
 Inspection of His Property
DO Nc 4 GREAT BUSINESS
Republic Company Exceeding All Rec ords of It's History-Capacity of Plants Exceeds One
 Million Tons.

The Republic Iron and Steel Company's new furnace at Thomas, which was light ed last Monday, made it's initial run of iron yesterday The metal was at once loaded on cars
 President Alex ". Thomas, who came to Birmingham to see the torch applied and to see the first run, said last night just before leaving that he was well satis- fled with the way the furnace was start ing off. In every new furnace hitches are unavoidable. But as uncommon palms were taken in the construction and start ing of this one at Thomas accidents and hitches were reduced to the minimum. MT. Thompson hopes to have a steady output right along and he thinks that after the first two weeks the furnace will be running as smoothly as No. 1 and No. 2.
 Visitors to Thomas are impressed at once with the large ore bins, the perfect electric trolley system by which the ore cars are moved, the solidly constructed spik hoists, and the labor saving device by which the ore is handled without show cling.
 According to the Wall Street Journal an authority on Republic :; and Steel says that the company Is doing a larg- CT volume of business than at any time In it's history The strike among the furnacemen in the Pittsburg region had no material effect Upon the operations of the company. While the company op- crates a number of blast furnaces, 1t consumes the bulk of the pig Iron ir produces in the manufacture of bar iron and steel, steel billets. bolts, nuts screws, angles, car axles. etc.
 The annual capacity of the plants ex- ceeds 100000 tons of finished iron and steel products and approximately 60O,O00 tons of pig iron. The company Is the largest producer of bar iron in the coun- try, having practically a monopoly of this class of business.
 he company Is nearing the completion of the third year of It's existence, the ifs. cal period closing June 30. It Is too socl> to get even an approximate idea what the cal things for the currentsfis year will show. The company issued a state ment for the six months ended December 31, 1901, showing gross. earnings for the six months fs1. 41s 54a, sand net earnings ssSS,12s After the preferred dividends for six monihs there was a surplus of $221 506 applicable to dividends the common stock. If the last six months of the fis- cal year show financial results similar to the first six months there will have been earned on the common stock during the year something like per cent.
