PLANT AT BNSLEY
 BREAKS THE RECORD
OUTPUT OF STEEL FOR MONTH OF NOVEMBER 21,6oo ToNs' BEST SHOWING YET MADE. OTHER NEWS.

Ensley. December 2-(speciai)-rwen- ty-one thousand and six hundred tons was the output of the steel plant for the month Of November, which breaks all records ever made by this large industry
 Last month when 2O,O0O tons were rolled out by the steel mill 1t was thought then that this industry had reached the high water mark, but when November looms up with nearly 22,OO0 tons, the predictions or the most sanguine are surpassed.
 Since the introduction of the converter at the plant, thereby combining the open hearth and Bessemer processes of manu- facturing steel. the output of the plant has been steadily on the increase. The re- suits of this months record shows with out any doubt that the Ensley plant has mastered the process Of making steel from Alabama ore
 The company has large amount Of or ders for rails on It's books, and will be in continuous operation for some time to come. All the plants of Ensley made good records during the month of November, and the indications are that December will be fully as good if not better.

England Is Greatly Interested.

London, December 3-The possibility of Russia trying to send her Black sea fleet to the far east strongly engages the at- tention of England In view of the com plications which would result if such an attempt was made It is understood that at the beginning of the war Baron Haya- shi. the Japanese minister here, ques- tioned Foreign Minister Lansdowne orf the subject and received the most formal as- surances that Great Britain would op- pose any attempt of the Black sea fleet to pass into the Mediterranean sea
 It Is contended in some quarters that Great Britain could not suffer a violation of the treaties regulating navigation of the Dardanelles without violating the spirit of the Anglo-Japanese treaty, but whether or not this Is true, no doubt that. the speedy fall of Port Arthur and the destruction of the Russian war ves- sells would be welcome news to Great Britain. and as tending to convince Rus sia of the uselessness of further en- deavors to regain command of the sea in far eastern waters.

Russians Are stllI Inactive.

Mukden. December 2.-The exodus of correspondent and military attaches con- tinues. Lieutenant-Colonel Schuler and Captain Richmann of the United States and Colonel Walters of the British army have left. Only six of the foreign cor respondents remain. and some of these contemplate going home. Opinion Is d. vided still as to the prospects of any big battle being fought before spring. The report was circulated here last week that if the Japanese made no attack by a cer- tain date. General Kuropatlxin would take the offensive.
 This date has passed. and still there Is no sign of a movement on the part of the Russians, who are establishing themselves in quarters that will answer for winter and accumulating large sup plies of forage and provisions. Fighting continues on both sides of the Russian army, General Rennenkampffs command being heavily engaged. There Is also brisk artillery firing on the Russian right and center.
