PIG IRON MARKET IS ON THE DRIFT
ALL LINES ARE MORE ,oR LESS
 AFFECTED BY l HE HALT IN THE
 BUYING = STEEL CONTINUES QUITE STRONG, NEVERTHELESS.

Cleveland O., May 1.-The Iron Trade Review this week says:
 Current activity in the iron trade does not furnish a proper guage of underly- ing conditions. The halt in buying in one important department the foundry indus try, more or less colors the entire situa- ton. The steel end of the market con tinues strong, but there is a general de- sire, even in lines not directly affected, to see the outcome in pig iron. Already the wait on the part of the pig iron buy CTS, prolonged throughout April, has shown itself in the Lake Superior ore market, where sales have been almost unprecedently light for the spring months, the recent heavy chartering of vessels being very largely for interests mining their own ore.
 The gradual disappearance of the un- paralleled freight and fuel difficulties of months has been taken in some quarters as an indication that reactionary ten dences were already at work on the assumption evidently that the pinch of railroad tie-ups rather than proper dis patch is the normal condition.
 The disappearance of high prices for prompt coke, prompt pig iron and prompt finished materials of some descriptions, particularly plates, has contributed to the waiting attitude of many buyers. Meantime there Is not little difficulty In estimating the relation of production and consumption.
 Labor questions have introduced an ele- ment of uncertainty. Securities have de- clined for several months, pig iron has declined and in finished material, with premium disappearing, the top has beer seen. Yet these conditions are accom- panied by demands for very considerable advances in wages, with shortening ol hours making new and important incre. ments to manufacturing costs. Generally the concessions are being made, but tho consumer who must pay 1t, is yet to be heard from.
 The disposition among pig Iron produc- CTS appears to be to let the market drift Associated southern furnaces are moi meeting the prices of outside producers which have touched $16 at furnace for No iron, this price having been named on central western business. Little bus mess results and the indications are that the contracts when placed will not be for long periods.

DEBATE RESUMED
 ON THE LAND BILL
JOHN MORLEY SAYS THE BILL IS BOLD AND COURAGEOUS MEAS URE AND GAN BE RIDpLED WITH ALL KINDS OF OBJECTIONS.

London, May 1.-The adjourned debate commons was resumed today. Several un- important speakers were followed by Timothy M. Healy (nationalist), who commented on the ''curlous fact that the only two absolutely ignorant speeches against the bill came from the liberal side of the house.
 Referring to the question whether the bill would make for home rule, MT. Haaly pointed out that the measure was sup ported by the Ulster members who he said ought to know it's effect better than English amateur politicians, however respectable"
 In the house tonight John Morley, lib- eral, who was received with opposition cheers, said the bill was bold and cour- ageous measure and revolutionary ex- tension of the land purchase system. He had never known a bill that could be so riddled with objections. It's remedies were abnormal, but 1t was a creature oi social necessity; therefore, he would sup port 1t. In winding up the debate MT Wyndham made light of what he called the fbogey of home rule" He showed how baseless was the fear of a genera repudiation of obligations.
 The Irish secretary said he desired that this great occasion should not be lost and that he did not despair of passing the bill. Division was then taken and ths bill passed its second reading. An analysis of the division shows tha' all the nationalists, the main body oi the ministerialists and almost all the lib erals voted with the majority.

Roanoke, Va, May "Details reached here this afternoon of a fearful catas- trophe which occurred late yesterday evening in the east end of West End tun- nel. known as tunnel No. 2. at Eggleston Springs, Giles county. on the Norfolk and Western railway, in which nine men were killed and five injured. three of them fatally, while two others were miracul- ously saved
 Railroad contractors were engaged in double tracking the two tunnels at the point named, and 1t was due to their operations that the accident happened It seems that when the tunnellng force had removed the earth and stone for the tracks at the point where the calamity occurred a huge slide of solid stone gave way on the mountain side and came down at an angle of about 45 degrees, crushing the life out of nine men. This strata of solid rock was found on exami- nation to be connected only by clay seams and when the foundation was re-

 SITUATION IN BALKANS.
French Officer Says Trouble Is the Re
 suit of Turkish Intrigue.

Paris, May 1.-The situation thr9ughout the Balkans causes serious apprehension here. but the French foreign office says the conditions are not regarded as being critical and are considered to be largely the result of Turkish intrigue. 1t has baezi the desire and the expectation of France and the other powers acting jointly, that the sultan adopt vigorous measures to put down the Albanian uprising. The powers received strong assurances that this would be done, but the recent dynamite outrage at Salonica and the conflicts be- tween Turkish troops and Bulgarian bands at other points have diverted the sultan's attention in another direction and have permitted postponement of the steps looking to carry out the powers wishes regarding Albania. Official ad- vices show that Turkey is threatening to adopt radical, disciplinary measures against Bulgaria's positions and 1t is as- serted here that there is reason to be- lieve that the powers will not permit the carrying out of a radical Turkish policy against Bulgaria.
 In the meantime 1t is the intention of the government here to send French na- val division to Salonica as a measure of protection and in order to be prepared for possible spread of the disorder.
 Dispatches from Toulon say the French warships will leave there tonight, but the foreign office officials assert that the departure of the ships will probably be postponed, so as to await the develop ments of the next few days.

CLAIM AGAINST VENEZUELA.
H. B. BulIis of New York Wants $5o,00o
 for False Imprisonment.

[ Havrestraw, N. r., May 7.-Harry B. Bulls of this place has made formal claim for $5OoOO damages against the government of Venezuela for false im- prisonment and detention at Maracaibo.
 MT, Bulls was in charge of the elee- tric/ light station at Maracaibo in May. 1900. There was an active revolution on foot and persons associated with the elec- tric light company had stored ammuni- tion and explosives in the station. He says he wished to turn over the stuff to the government but he was afraid to have 1t known that he had given the in- formation. He accordingly suggested to the president of the state that the ammuni tion should be seized and that, as a bind. he should be arrested and then prompt Iy releasel. His plans were carried out with the exception of his release.
 He says ne communicated with the United States conFul, J. II. Plumacher, who was living outside of the city. Mir Plumacher pleaded Illness and dlsinclina- tion to come to town for couple of weeks.
 MT. Bullis says he was bundled off to the penitentiary, where everything was taken from his pockets except a tiny silk American flag. He was thrust into a badly ventilated room, and after a
 
 months incarceration was informed that a lawyer had been appointed by the gov ernment to defend him. This man called on him and promised to call again. He never reappeared.
 When the hearing finally occurred MT. Bullis pleaded not guilty, but gave no testimony and heard none. He was in- formed afterward that he had been con- victed AS a result of an appeal to the minister this telegram was sent to the president of Maracaibo by the president of the republic;
 Having adjusted the political matters of the North American, H. B. Bulls. pro- ceeded to place him at liberty as con- veniently as possible.
 (Signed) "CIPRlANO CASTRO"
 Upon being released Mir. Bulls says a native tried to kill him, and when he com plained to the local authorities he was himself placed under bonds to keep the peace. All his papers and money had been stolen in his absence.

 One man was in a niche of the tunnel- way and was only grazed on the face and head. escaping with slight injuries He was removed without great difficulty A second man, who stood on the outer edge of the slide, was only slightly hurt' but three others were more unfortunate and were so badly injured that 1t is feared they will die. The bodies of the other nine men are still under the mountain slide.
 A wrecking car and derrick was taken out from Bedford, but so far have been of no avail. There is not any likelihood that the bodies can be recovered soon' as the rock will have to be dynamited and removed bit by bit. This is considered a most dangerous proposition as the length of the strata cannot be ascertained.
 So far it has been impossible to secure the names of the victims They are only known to the contractors, and they can only judge by the missing members of the force. It was mixed gang composed both of white and colored laborers.
