QUESTIONS PART
BEAUPRE PLAYS
Minister Partly Blamed for Failure
In Colombian Ne
gOtiations.

Chicago, Sept. "A Washington
Arthur NJ. Beauprc. of Illinois. reached
the end of his usefulness as minister
to Colombia? This question: arises in
view of the fact that both the Colon,
bian and United State governments
are at outs with him. The Colom-
bian secretary of state, Senior Rico,
sent n cablegram to Minister Herran
denOuncing Minister Beaupre's inter
ference in canal legislation at Bogota
''as an attempt at dictation that has
become intOlerable" Minister Herran
gave copy of this cablegram to the
state department as a hint that Beau
pre- was doing more harm than good
at BOgota.
state department officials are great,
~ annoyed over the failure of Minis
ter Beaupre to report promptly the
course of events at Bogota. The only
cableErams from Beaupre are vague
comRerts on the situation. The de-
partment has had to deperd upon Min
lister Herran and press reports for its
information. One thing may he said
of Minister Beaupre, and that is he has
acted in the canal matter under in,
structions from Washington So far
as his attitude of strict objection to
amendment of the treaty is concerned,
the fault if any lies in the state de-
partment.
1T Is to be doubted, however that
the department instructed Beaupre to
send the message to the Colombian
congress which has stirred up such in
dignation- An attempt by a foreign
minister to influence legislation in the
American congress would result in an
instant delivery of his passports. Co,
lOmbia appears to have acted with for
bearance toward Minister Beaupre"
Panama. Sept. 2.-The isthmus is
alight with fires of a new revolution.
The Indians have risen and the late
followers of General Benjamin Her
rera are mastering in the mountain
villages preparatory to joining an or
ganized revolt caused by the rejec-
ton of the canal treaty. Hundreds of
stacks of arms confiscated by the Co
lombian government at the close of
the late revolution have reappeared
from some mysterious source. With
the arms goes ammunition fresh from
ia actories, showing the movement is
not spasmodic, but carefully planned

OF Iron Ore for the Steel Corporation
Compliments for England.
OF the situation in the United States
he said: Nor is it a questions which
the manufacturer of America can safe
ly neglect. 1t was because it forced
itself 50 strongly upon us that we Sc
cured such an abundant supply of the
best ore obtainable For sixty years,
l think. the United States Steel Cor
poration is supplied at its present
rate of consumption. but sixty years is
as nothing compared to the life Of Il
nation. 1t is upon future discoveries
of iron ore that the future of cheap
steel manufacturing. even in America,
depends. There are immense deposits
in now inaccessible parts"
At the opening of his address Car
negie said that the record in iron and
steel of England, "the great little
mother of nations" had not been
cquaIed by any of her children. al
though her oldest and biggest seems to
inherit his mothers indomitable spirit
and ability TO work miracles. In all
matters of iron and steel, however" :"
continued Carnegie, the child has
been borne upon the shoulders of the
parent.
IF the Atlantic ocean had been
prairie land. there would have been lit
tie left in the world but the cOnquering
old lady and her family, all under one
roof. under one flag, a self-sustaining
empire under free trade with probably
2O0,000000 of our English speaking
race, and a home market so big as 10
give control of neutral markets. No
question of protection ,or preferential
tariffs then to disturb us; beside all
this we should have been able to en-
force peace among nations.
Gentlemen, unfortunately an ocean
exists where we should have preferred
prairieS, but it is traverSed in about
the same time as the 1900 miles of
land between Montreal or New York
on the Atlantic and San Francisco and
Victoria on the Pacific. Who is SO
bold as to predict that never is our
race to succeedin converting the ocean,
hitherto a barrier to your extension,
into the pathway to reunion of the
two once united branches? Not 1.
my faith is unshakable that some
day this will be accomplished and that
instead of being two small islands
here alien to the European content,
you will look across the sea to your
own children in Canada and in the
United States and become once more
the mother member of the dominant
power of the world"

CAN GO NO LOWER
So Andrew Carnegie Thinks Of
the Price of Steel Billets
at Present.
TALKS OF THE SUPPLY OF IRON oRE
Subject, Anglo United States
Union.

Barrow-in-Furnice. Eng, Sept. p
''There is every indication that period
after period the price of steel is to be-
come dearer owing to the lack of raw
material" This was one of the i'm
portant statements which Andrew
Carnegie made in his address at the
opening of the Iron and Steel insti-
tfons twenty-nfne years ago, when he
was youth, with conditions of today.
He laid great stress on the probable fu.
ture scarcity OF raw material, and this
he said had been foreSeen by the di-
rectOrs of the United States Steel cor
poratiom He said, among other things
Billeis Are Very Cheap.
THE work o. week is Eow done
in Il day, but great as that contrast,
here is one still greater. There have
been made and sold without loss hun
dredS of thousands of tons of four-inch
steel billets at three pounds for a
penny. Surely. gentlemen. the limit
has been reached here. l think ii has
and it is doubtful if ever a lower price
can be reached for steel. On the con-
trary, there Is every indication that
period after period the price of steel
is to become dcarer owing to the lack
of raw materials.
What is Done For the Money.
'To make that three pounds of steel
Mt least ten pounds of material were
required-three pounds of coke, mined
and transported sixty miles to the works.
one and one-half pounds of lime, mined
and transported 80 miles. and four
and One-half pounds of iron stone.
mined at Lake Superior. and trans
ported 900 miles to Pittsburg. being
transferred twice. once from cars into
the hip. and again from the ship into
the railway cars.
Takes Look Ahead.
Gentlemen. such is the contrast he
tween 1S47 and 1903. What is to be
twenty-nine years hence? What
changes are to come? 1 have tried to
imagine some of its features. 1t is
scarcely possible that this country can
increase its product of iron and steel
materially. Let us hope that the prod
uct will not be decreased. The vital
element in the matter is. as we all
know, the supply of iron ore. Many OF
you are converSant with the situation
here. / only know what l learn from
others. but undoubtedly the attention
of the iron and steel manufacturers
should be directed to this question:
Where and how can they obtain a sup
ply of iron ore?"
