CYRUS LELAND's PER DIEM.
Representative Turns Over What Is
Supposed to Be Cy.'s.


Topeka. Kan. Aug. l-Representative
J. B. Belts of North Topeka brought
a check for $3.50 TO the Capitol office
yesterday and instructed this paper to
deliver it to the North Topeka relief
committee This is the amount OF per
diem and mileage drawn by certain
representative from a county in north
eastern Kansas. who was in attend
ance at the special session of the leg
islature for the relief of the q God suf-
ferers of Kansas" said Mr.. Belts. and
I desire to have il turned over to the
people who need 1t SO badly. This gen
tleman did everything possible to prevent
an appropriation for the relief OF the
thousands of people who had lost their
homes. He promptly drew his per diem
and also drew mileage, although he was
stopping in Topeka al the time the legis-
lature was called together, and id not
travel so much as a mile to attend the
special session. He drew his mileage just
the same and l understand he has cashed
in the state warrant for the full amount.
Many other senators and representatives
have contributed their warrants to the
food sufferers. but up to this time l do
not think that this particular member
has been heard from. Here's $3.50. which
you may send to the committee.
Mr.. Belts did not mention any names.
but a man from the state house, who
happened to be standing near by and who
Is quite familiar with the geography Of
Kansas, said he believed Mr.. Belts must
be abiding to Representative Cyrus Lee

show that the amount of Mr.. Leland's
warrant for mileage and three days

THE IRON TRADE REVIEW.

Cleveland, June 1S.-The Iron Trade Review
this, week says: Production and consumption
in iron and steel appear to have close to
equilibrium ut high point for both. AS to the
side on which the balance will fall, in the imme
date future there does not appear to be any
disagreement, but the week has given little new
light on the mooted questi. of the price basis
on which large buying will be stimulated Ipdi-
the effect Of recent financial developments can
be measured. With production of pig iron in
May at rate almost equal to q, O00,0 900 tons 4
year there increase In reported stock
for more than 5000 tons, while pig iron In ports
amounted to $4,000 tons. This would indicate
mean simply so much ccumulation OF domestic
iron. New furnaces are to be added to the
list and several more will be ready In the next
month or two. Meanwhile the number of stacks
under repair seems not to decrease; but the new
stacks are of high capacities.
The expectation that the mil mills would open
their books this week for business for 1904 has
aroused some interest in the steel market. There
is no other price talked of than $2S. and at this
figure large orders will soon be placed, inqut-
ries being in hand for several hundred thou
sand TONS including the 100000 tons OF the
sale. 1t is stated that close to 100000 tons Of
rails placed for 1903 will be carried over. While
the railroads may have gone above their real
requirements in their early estimates the mills
with what came over from 1902 likewise, sold
beyond their capacity. IN early statement is
promised from steel corporations to tonnage
now booked and the prices on which business In
its other principal products will be entered for
1904; The action of the plate manufacturers
at their New York meeting In continuing the
$1.6O basis indicates the line OF procedure. AT
S62 it Is believed plates, shapes and steel bars
are in accord with present conditions and the
outlook. The pig iron market Is not inactive and
inquiry Is of good proportions

FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Waldorf Gossip to Watson-In brokerage cir
cles it is generally agreed that the market
acts well. Stocks are concentrated in the
hands of the magnates to a greater extent
than at any time since May o. 1901. when the
big interests rebought at panic prices stocks
sold in the unprecedented buying craze which
eliminated the month before. This means
strong technical position. Rockefeller, Morgan,
Gould and the Kuhn Loeb interests are credited
with purchases in the past six weeks aggre-
eating enormous figures. The mass of securi-
ties thrown over by Schwab and Hawley fell
into the laps Of the foreign fnanciers Along
with this phase of the speculative situation Is
to be placed very large short interest, much
of which is ostensibly for foreign account. Hence
bullish views grow more confident, the best
commission house taking the ground that while
the market will not go up without moderate
setbacks on each of the latter it should be
bought.
New York to G. E. Lewis: prominent Stand.

intention of the banking allied interests to

ket may be looked for with certainty.
