was the one more lift not forthcom

Probably because the Japs did not
have one more lift left in them. They

Iron Ore Price.

Pig iron has been bought on the
side this year by the United States
Steel corporation, despite the fact that
it's furnaces ale now very busy. 1t is
said that the purchases have reached
100000 tons, and some of the indi-
vidual mine owners are feeling pretty
good over the fact, as they consider it
a good omen of stiff prices for the ore
which they will get out.
The United States Steel corporation
is said to have very low stock piles,
lower than usual for this time of the
year, as the winter digging was not
pushed as fast as usual owing to the
slump in the steel market towards the
latter part of the last year and the be-
lief that the market this year would
not justify heavy production or ship.
menlS.
Usually the winter work is kept go
Ing to be prepared for early com
mencement of shipping, and fast ship
ments at that, but this season is al
ready possibly month behind on
navigation, which, together with the
light stocks on hand caused by eX-
pectation of a dull market, would
cripple the corporation very decidedly
in case the steel market should be I'M
expectedly good. The corporation
shipment last year were Is, 1871, $40 and
in 1902 Is, 905, 643 tons.
While last year was expected to be
as good year as the year before, and
ore was shipped with corresponding
rapidity, the latter part of the ship
ping season was curtailed owing to de-
pressed conditions in the steel situa-
ton. AS stated some time since in
The Herald, the corporation now has
about IS per cent of its furnaces in
operation, which is a good average for
a busy season, and if this keeps up,
together with the corporation buying
outside its own mills, and ore not piled
up as fast.as it might be used, the in
dependents would be decidedly glad.

SEND ESTIMATE

THE TIMES SCORES AGAIN
Papers Immediately Approved on Re-

A deficiency estimate of $500 to
enable the Washington public night
schools to remain open until next May
was approved by the District Commits
sioners this morning and Immediately
forwarded TO Congress. This is the third
link in the chain which The Times is
endeavoring to forge in favor Of better
educational facilities for the working
classes.
A. II. Stuart. superintendent Of the
District public schools, at the request
Of The Times, submitted this deficiency
estimate Of $500 to the Board OF Educa-
ton last Wednesday night and the
board, according to its promise to The
Times representative, forthwith gave
the bill its approval The papers were
received in the offices of the District
Commissioners this morning, and were
Immediately approved.
Quick Action Expected.
These papers, which should be placed
in the hands Of Representative Nc
Cleary, Of the House Appropriations
Committee. either this afternoon or to-
morrow morning, contain all the ''spc-
cifc information" which that gentle
man called for. That the money should
be appropriated without delay is ad-
mitted, and in fact urged. by almost
every District official who has any in
terest whatsoever IN the subject of night
schools.
The item is small and, IL is argued, will
make an insignificant hole in the Federal
and municipal pocketbooks, while the
benefit derived by worthy citizens will
be many times more valuable.

the fact that on salary OF $3.50.

the remarks OF counsel are in no way
evidence.
Mr.. Douglass moved that the state
ment OF Machen's income by Mr. Con-
rad be stricken from the record, as IL
had gone forth in the papers under big
headlines. and had necessarily been a
means of influencing the jury.
Mr.. Conrad said he offered a vindica-
ton of himself. out no excuse. Upon
consideration he thought he would not
have made the statement he did The
announcement about the income was not
justitied st that time. Mr.. Conrad
asked the court, nevertheless. TO strike
out the remarks. as they were not in
tended for the jury.
Remarks Stricken Out"
In view of Mr.. Conrad's request the
justice ordered the remarks stricken
