PROGRESS IN SPAIN.
The Country IL Beginning 90 aTanu-
facture steel from Its own
Rich Ores.

All AmericanE are interested in the
efforts which Spain IL making to do
yelop the country's natural resources
and increase its prosperity, says the
New York Sun.
For many years Spain has permitted
practically all her mineral wealth TO
be taken abroad for manufacture, q
part Of II coming back to the country
for sale in the finished state. Efforts
are now being made to smelt her iron
ore at home IN the hope that the in
dustry win develop so that Spain will
herself produce all the iron and sieel
her people need. The region'near Bar
celona and little west Of IL has for
years produced some iron, but IL has
cut very small figure in the country's
production.
A Aspanish firm Of nail makers, which
has always purchased the wire re-
quired inits factory from foreign coun-
tries, is now erecting a large mill and
expects to make its own wire. Very
large steel works recently completed
are now In operation &C Badniona and
are turning out steel castings Of the
very best quality.
The equipment Is firkt-class and Il
is said that the works can turn out
22 different qualities Of steel from the
softest to the hardest graded, suitable
for tools. II is reported that the new
works will be able to place steel plates
on the market as prices considerably
cheaper than anything now offered
In spite Of the disadvantages of situ-
alton. Badalona being far from both
the iron and coal-mining districts Of
Spain.
The leading citizens Of the country
expect In the next few years important
development in the home iron Industry
and believe that the success Of this
branch Of enterprise will stimulate
manufacturing in other directions.
The government is expending large
sums 10 secure the fuller utilization
Of the water supplies for the irrigation
Of rich lands that need only water TO
make them very fertile.
The edueational system Is also being
modernized; and IL Is expected that
the school reforms now being intro
duced after long study as TO the most
effective means OF diminishing the
prevalent illiterney will in the next
generation show a marked improve.
ment in the intellectual development
Of the masses.
Spain no longer has incessant colo
nial wars to distract her attention and
waste her substance. The thought Of
the leading minds In the country 4
turned to measures Of internal i'm
proyement in many directions. The
prospect Is that the next decade vii
offer 70 the general public many ad
yantages which they have NOT hitherto
enjoyed, which will condnye 20 th'
moral and material prosperity Of thu
nation.

ARE THE INDIANS ABUSED
The Interior Department WlIl inyes-
tigate all Agencies IN the
Southwest.

Francis E. Leupp, correspond
ent OF the New York Evening
Post, who has been designated 30
investigate various charges in re-
lation to the treatment Of the In.
dians and the making Of allot.
ments In the Kiowa. a.Comanche
country, will be requested to in
vestigate the condition Of the In
dians in the entire Southwest.
Both the President aud the Secre-
tary of the Interior are Of the
opinion that an investigation, in
dependent Of any inquiry which
agents and inspectors have made
Is most desirable. Mr.. Leupp
has consented to go to Anadarko
and several other points in Okla
homa, but has not yet accepted
the more important mission.
There is no attempt on the part
OF any one about the Interior de-
parlment to discuss the fact that
the official conduct OF nearly every
federal officer in the Southwest
has been dragged into the charges
which haye recently been made.
Only the Secretary Of the Inter-
ior refuses to discuss any phase Of
the matter or to admit that there
is anything in this course. II Is
known that the charges made
against Agent echoenfeldt Of the
Union agency have been placed
in writing and that they will be
thoroughly investigated. The Of
hcers of the department realize
that the accused men should all
have opportunities to present
their side OF the case. This course
will be pursued. Although there
is unquestionably some founda-
tion for the charges which have
been made so freely, there are in.
dications that they are prompted
in part by jealousy between ofii
cials. The Department Of Justice
lie pursuing an independent in
vestigation into the conduct Of its
employees, but will cooperate
with the Interior department in
whatever developments lead in
that direction. Mr.. Leupp will
confer with the paper which now
employs him and will decide up
on the full scoops Of bis invesliga-
ton within a week.-K. G. Star.

The Southern Railways Palm Limit
ed train from New York to st.
Augustine was delayed more than an
hour near Pineland, Ga, the other
day to GRITTY wish of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, thereby furn-
ishing an interesting tale of the
potency of name.
Mrs. Vanderbilt concluded that she
would run over to see her brother,
Richard 7. Wilson, Jr., at May River.
As the limited express came into view
at Pineland Mrs. Vanderbilt waved
her parasol and Mr.. Vanderbilt waved
his hand. But the train went by at
mile minute.
The next station was Vaudeville,
25 miles away. There the train was
tagged and the engineer was handed
imperative orders to back his train
to Pineland to take on the Wander
bilt party. Trains ahead were tied
up while this so miles was cut out
of his schedule.
The story is that Mrs. Vanderbilt
demanded of her husband that the
train come back for her and that he
found the means of having her wishes
respected.

HENS WORKING FOR CHURCH.
All the Eggs Which They Lay ON
Sunday Are Sold for Benefit of
the Organization.

The Rev. A. Z. Cooper, pastor of
the Lutheran church at Maplehill,
Lycoming county, four months ago
induced the members of the Aid So
ciety of the church to dedicate to
the church all eggs laid on Sunday
by hens owned by members of the
society. The dedication covered q
period from September Is to January
Is.
The ingathering is to take the form
of an egg social to be held on Thurs
day evening of next week, when the
number of eggs laid on Sunday and
the proceeds from the sale of the
same will be announced.
: The Rev. Mr.. Cooper recently at
tackled the modern church festival
and social in an article printed in
the "Young Lutheran" and for this
reason his egg dedication plan is att
tracing much attention.

The experiment of having women

incoming liners to look after the
morals of the women passengers in
the first and second cabins was tried
Tor the first time at New York the
other day. Three of the five women
picked out of 200 applicants were the
ones who tried it. They boarded the
liner lvernia, crossing the storm
tossed waters of the bay from the
revenue cutter to the ship on a ladder
that was almost horizontal instead of
perpendicular.
When the ladder had been run from
the cutters deckhouse to the port
of Hernia the incline was slight.
Miss Harrison picked up her skirt

across. she went on all tours and
nobody was shocked. The others got

over. a woman reporter who had
shared the captains cabin with the

LOSES GRIP ON cH1NA's TRADE,
Ensland's Supervision of Maritime
Customs Declared to Have
Expired.

The Shanghai correspondent of the
London Morning Post, says it is stated
in the best informed circles there that
the undertaking given by China to
Great Britain in 1898 that the sue
cessor of Sir Robert Hart, director of
the imperial maritime customs, would
be British while British trade predom-
mated in China, is no longer operative.
There are Indications, the correspond
ent adds, that the marquis of Lans-
downe, British foreign minister, will
consent to Sir Robert being succeeded
by an international board. This would
mean the ascendency of other Euro
pean powers.
