NEW LOW LEVELS.
Prices of Iron Continue on a Down
ward Course

ward Course.
Cleveland, O., Nov. 19.-The Iron Trade
Review says:
Restriction of output has not yet reach
lines new low levels of prices have been
reached in the past week 1t Is well
known that enough Lake Superior ore IS
now down TO last well into summer, SO
tnat while this years shipments are
likely to be about 100000 tons, or $780,
900 tons less than than those of 1902, the
movement in 1904 will be well below 20 OOO-
coo tons The market record of the past
week is one of larger business in southern
pig iron with prices yielding further The
sharp reduction in pig iron output made in
october is still insufficient, as appears
from an increase in stocks to 100000 tons
IN tnat month With $4,000 tons active
blast furnace capacity November l. based
on output in October, pig iron production
was at the rate OF IA 675, 900 tons a year,
or 100000 tons less than the rate in Sep
TENDER and 5000, 900 tons less than the rare
in June, when high tide was reached. The
central west will have scarcely more than
40 per cent of its September capacity ac-
tive by December l. and the south by
sheer force OF a loss on every ton sold,
must soon contribute to the curtailnent
movement The situation there, under
the savage competition that has followed
the association breakup. is far from re-
assuring Even at $3.50 for No. iron the
average price on the entire output of a
furnace is close to s.. which few furnaces
can long stand. The low price made 70
rid furnaces of accumulated iron have
brought an increase in business in south
ern irons. Northern prices are about 81
a ton higher, hence northern irons are
scarcely moving. On No. 2 southern 50. Is

LOOP AT WASHBURN.
Mr.. Myers Suggests Railway
Extension to Athletic Field.

1t now seems likely that an adjust
ment of the difficulties over the use of
the Percy street pavement by the To-
peka Railway company in building its
Washburn college line will be amicably
secured. A proposition was made to-
day by Vice President L. E. Myers of
the street car company to the trustees
of the college, offering to leave their
tracks upon the present route in con-
sideration of a grant of the use of a
small strip of ground beside the gate
of the Washburn, athletic park upon
which they can construct a small ter
minal loop.
A meeting of the executive committee
of the board of trustees will probably
decide the proposition this afternoon.
In case the privilege of using the ground
is granted to the street railway people
Mr.. Myers says the Washburn line will
be extended to the gate of the park,
which will considerably facilitate the
handling of crowds during football and
baseball games. The communication to
the Washburn trustees is explanatory of
the reasons for its making. 1t is:
Board of Trustees, Washburn College,
City.
''Gentlemen:-In view of your objec-
ton to the proposed change in the loca-
tion OF our tracks in the vicinity of
your college, we beg to offer the follow
ing suggestion as way out of the diff
Guilty. If you will convey to us by pro-
per contract the right to build a loop
on such of your land as we may mu-
tually agree upon as suitable for the
purpose, free of cost to u.s. we will al
low our tracks to remain as at present
located. If this suggestion is not ac-
ceptable we shall have to relocate our
tracks so as to get sufficient additional
patronage to warrant the building of
loop around the block bounded by Col
lege avenue, Chestnut Boswell and
Walnut streets, or College avenue, Elm
and Warren streets. In other words:
with your cooperation we can avoid an
additional investment sufficient to war
rant us in being satisfied with the con-
sequent smaller earnings. 1t has also
been suggested that we build our new
track close to the south line of Elm
street, so that with cinder walk to be
provided by you. a perfectly dry and
convenient landing place would result.

accommodations, but must ask for an
immediate answer to the whole question
as the material for rebuilding this divis-

A prompt reply is therefore requested.
Respectfully yours,

To the people living in the vicinity of
Washburn college this proposition pre-
sents the most desirable solution of the
difficulty of any that has yet been offer
ed. If an agreement upon it can be

THE PRESIDENTS PISTOL.
Mr.. Roosevelt Never Goes In Public With
out 1t In His Pocket.

A New York dispatch to tho Wash
ington Post snys: When President
Roosevelt jumped to the wharf at
Ellis Island from the immigration
cutter II. b Chamberlain this after
noon, aud ran forward. to shake hands
with Commissioner General Frank
Z. Sargent, a gust Of wind caught
the skirts Of his frook coat and whirled
them against the back of his head.
Those standing behind the p1esi-
dent saw a sight that evoked much
comment. Sticking out of his right
hand hip pocket was the handle of a
revolver. One of the secret service
men quickly restored the skirts of
the presidents coat to their proper
place, but the momentary glimpse
the spectators had convinced those
familiar with such matters, that tho
handle indicated weapon Of heavy
caliber.
Those unfamiliar with the preei
dents custom wondered why he
should go armed when on a commls-
sion 80 peaceful as an inspection Of
Ellis Island. 1t WAS explained by
one of the secret service men, how
ever, that the president invariably
carries revolver when ho goes to
public place.
The president has carried pistol
every since he took the oath of office,
after the assassination of McKinley.
He has the greatest faith in the abil-
ity Of the dozen or more of secret
service agents who guard him, but
prefers to be armed himself III case
of emergency. His most intimate
friends have known orS his practice
Of carrying six shooter, but some

prised when they saw the handle
protruding from the presidents
