Furnaces in Birmingham Dis-
 tict Running Full Capacity
BUILDING NEW COKE OVENS
Republic Not Likely to Pay on Com mon Stock, as Its Policy Is Con servatiVe and Looks to Ac-
 cumulating Supplies.

There is no Tagging in the iron market and the demand for delivery in the first six months of 1903 promises to continue unabated until the make is all sold.
 The furnaces In this district are turn ing out to their full capacity. but there is little or no spot iron to be had, as the big shipments are to fill orders sold early in the year.
 Of the twelve furnaces in the district owned by the Tennessee CoaS Iron and Railroad Company, eleven of them are in operation, and of the four owned by the Sloss-Shef1eld Steel and Iron Company three of them are In operation. The Sloss-shefields No. at North Birming- ham, now being refined, will be ready for blast in about ten days.
 The Sloss-Sheffield company will let a contract this week for the construction of 200 coke ovens at Flat Top in this county and later in the summer it will let q contract for 100 more ovens at some other point. These additional ovens will give the company all the coke 1t needs for it's seven furnaces-four here and three in the Sheffield district
 The New York Commercial says: It has been currently reported in fin- ancial circles for some time past that the directors of the Republic Iron and Steel company, contemplate the payment of q small dividend on the common stock. When the rumor was called to the at tention of a representative of the com 
 the common shares in the near future was unlikely, as the directors were pur- suing a very conservative policy and would first place their property in good physical condition and accumulate a substantial surplus before considering payments on the common.
 The company has already expended S4,- 100000 in new construction, and further additions are beinng made and others contemplated In the event of depression in the iron and steel business the Re public Iron and Steel company will be well prepared to meet it.
 President Alexis w. Thompson in the report says:
 "The most important events in the his tory of the company during the last six months have been the completion of the new large blast furnace and other improvements in Birmingham, and of the new billet mill at Youngstown. We have also installed two new blowing engines at our Pioneer furnaces, Nos. and 2. thereby greatly increasing the capacity of these furnaces We have enlarged our coking plant at Birmingham so as to have a battery of BIO ovens. During the six months we have completed the open ing of the Pratt seam of coal in the Blr- mingham district, and are now mining 200O tons of coal per day from this seam. as well as 1900 tons per day from the Newcastle seam. The coal from both sea ms is washed and sent to our ovens at the furnaces, producing coke of supe- rior quality and insufficient quantity for all our requirements. The billet mill is op- erated in connection with our steel plant at Youngstown, and is recognized to be the most efficient mill now in operation in the country. It was successfully start ed during the month of April, 1902

OUTS WITH MAYOR
Executive in Revolt With Heads
of City Depart
ments.
ORDERS OVER POLICE oHIEFsHEAD
Trouble Because Cabinet Members
Are Playing Others as May
oral FaVorites.

\ state of open revolt exists be-
tween Mayor Knox and the heads of
two or three departments of the city
government.
The schisms have not formed sud-
denly, but have been developing
gradually and in manner that
leaves little possibility of their being
healed. Each of the recalcitrants
has taken with him his own portion
of influence and the mayor appears
to be left standing altogether ON his
own uncertain pins.
Darnen sticks to Mac.
James DarnelI. chief of police, has
been the first 10 walk out of the
mayoral camp, and the trouble
seems to have started about the time
that the chief interested himself so
industriously i'm securing the election
of George Washington McCaskrin as
alderman in the Fourth.
At that time certain compacts were
entered into b. the chief that the
mayor has since repudiated.
This has had the effect of transfer
ring the allegiance of the chief of
police to the McCasllrin standard,
which has already been hoisted to
create a following of the right com
plexion and of sufficient strength to
give Mac the republican nomination
for mayor next spring.
Evidence of the disaffection that
exists between the mayor and Chief
DarneIl was had last week in orders
that the former passed out over the
head and without the knowledge of
the latter to patrolmen on their
beats.
Plumb Gone on Kennedy.
Plumb Bancroft. superintendent of
waterworks. is asserted to have stalk
ed his all on Aid. William Kennedy,
who was the most formidable antag-
onist of Mayor Knox at the time of his
last nomination. and who has been a
thorn in the side of the administra-
ton ever since.
Thus Mayor Knox is finding the
head that wears the crown truly un-
easy.
