IRON TRADE CONDITIONS.
The Iron Age" says:


An analysis of monthly blast furnace statis-
ties shows how rapidly the iron industry again ad-
justs itself changed conditions Production in
June dropped 100000 tons. exclusive OF charcoal
iron, compared with rate of close to 1.500.O0
tons in March. April and May. Yet that scale OF
production is clearly excessive. since we entered
the current month with a capacity OF 272,So0 tons
n week compared with $4,000 tons on June
and S6S.2oO tons on May l. That would indicate
product Of only 100000 tons for July. but since
the opening of this month there has been further
marked restriction of output. An analysis of the
data demands that separate the production Of
the steel companies from that of the merchant
furnaces. The former have for nearly year adj
tusted their make with the greatest precision TO
their immediate requirements and their stocks
play only minor role In April the product was
974 ESQ tons, the maximum in any one month
during the year. In May IL 921 900 tons, and
last month 1t dropped to $50 600 tons This, there
fore. proves that consumption has declined in the
steel trade to a marked degree. with little proof
at hand TO lead to the conclusion that the summer
months will cause a change When turn 10 the
merchant furnaces again face the record Of q
made $4,000 tons of pig iron, but their stocks
added the extent of 10000 tons, thus
indicating consumption Of $4,000 tons. In June
the product $4,000 tons. and the additions to
stock We're 5000 tons, thus pointing TO further
decline In the consumption 10 42S0Go tons In other
words. rapid has been the adjustment Of the
iron producers to a shrinking consumption, they
have not vet overtaken il.

MAYOR OF CHICAGO
AND OTHERS ARRESTED.
They Give Bonds on Charges of
Responsibility for Fire.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Bearing the eight
mittimi issued as the result of the in
quest into the Iroquois Theater dis
aster, Coroner Traeger and a number
of detectives to-day left the City Hall
with authority to arrest Mayor Carter
H. Harrison, Manager Will J. Davis
and the six lesser city officials and
stage employees who were ordered held
to await action of the grand jury.
The first persons taken into custody
were William McMullen, operator of
the food light from which the Iroquois
fire is said to have started, and James
e. NJ. Cummings, the stage carpenter
at the Iroquois, under whose direction,
it is alleged, the apparatus was con-
structed which interfered with the de-
scent of the asbestos curtain.
Will j. Davis was arrested in bed at
Davis was allowed to dress and eat
breakfast.
Mayor Carter H. Harrison presented
himself at Coroner Traeger's Office in
the Criminal Court building. The
Mayor was accompanied by his brother
and cousin, and by former Mayor
Hampstead Washburne. The coroner
greeted them and the party then went
to Judge Walkers court, where bonds
of $500 were furnished. The Mayor
left then for his office in the City Hall.
Fire Marshal Musham was served
with a mittimus at his office. A SINH
lar course was pursued with City
Building Commissioner Williams and
City Building Inspector Loughlin. In
custody of two detectives, Messrs.
Musham, Williams and Loughlin walk
ed to the Criminal Court building and
gave bonds to answer any action by
the grand jury. The stage fireman,
William Sallers, was the last of the
accused to be taken into custody.
Although the coroner's jury did not
make any specific charge against the
persons held, the implied charge is
homicide, as each was held to be re-
sponsible in a measure for the death
of the Iroquois victims and the coro-
ner had no authority to fix a bond.

WHAT DO YOU WANT
WITH GERM-LADEN MONEY?
"a Bill Comes Back from Cuba With
232 Different Microbes"

"a Bill Comes Back from Cuba With
232 Different Microbes"
Washington, Jan. 26.-"Clean money"
was argued for before the House Com
mttee on Banking and Currency to-
day by Representative Gaines of Ten
nessee.
Mr.. Gaines charged that the govern
ment was largely responsible for MAX
ing the paper of the country "unclean"
by sending it to China, Japan, the
Philippines, Cuba, Porto Rico and 9TH
er countries, and it should bear the ex-
pense of redeeming it, paying the trans
portation charges and all other ex-
penSes.
Mr.. Gaines asserted that a single bill
which had been in circulation in Cuba
and returned to the treasury for re-
demption, contained 232 different kinds
OF microbes. These microbes, he as
serted, were hungry and would joy
1ully feed on the mucous membrane of
either Democrat or a Republican.
physicians of Philadelphia, he said,
had been examining filthy money in
thdt city and had declared it full of
germs. Describing how these germs
might get in their deadly work. Mr..
udlnes detailed what a man carried in
ms trousers pocket: His money, car
uckets, tooth pick, knife, handkerchief,
and in cold weather, his hand. When
he stroked his moustache or replaced
MS eye glasses he ran the risk of con-
Veying the hungry germ to his nose or
eyes.

ON BIG BULLS HORNS
THE MARKET WAS TOSSED.

Armour Checked n Downward
Tendency of Wheat.
Chicago, Jan. 26.-The wheat pit on
the Board of Trade was the scene of
successive bear triumph and discom-
future to-day. Within a period of ten
minutes the price of wheat for May
delivery fell 21a cents a bushel, a loss
which was more than recovered, the
closing quotation for the day showing
a net gain of Y cent as compared with
last nights final figures.
For time A. j. Valentine, president
of the Armour Grain Company and
manager of ]. Ogden Armour's inter-
ests on the Board of Trade, was in the
pit personally, buying all the May
wheat offered, and at this time the
owner of wheat for that months de-
livery seemingly could have disposed
of any quantity of it at S9%.
After Mr.. Valentine had left the pit,
the bears, confident in his absence,
made a successful raid into the Ar
mour domain and May wheat was
worth S7M cents.
Apparently to stem the tide, the
Armour interests were forced to
change the orders to sell into orders to
buy, and the bears were again baked
after having won a second temporary
victory in two days over the most
feared of the big bulls.

JAPAN CALLS ON
RUSSIA To HURRY
SHE IS TIRED OF WAITING.
HAS ASKED FOR AN EARLY RE-
SPONSE TO HER NOTE,

IL Is Felt at TOXIC That Russia Has
Had Time Enough In which to
Answer-NO Disposition to Allow
Russia to Gain Time for the Per-
lection of War PreparatiOus-JR-
pan May Soon Act Decisively-Her
Plans Are Kept Secret.
Toxic, Jan. 27.-The Japanese gov
eminent has automatically intimated
to Baron DeRosen. the Russian minis
ter, that an early response is desired
to Iapan's recent note to Russia.
II is calculated here that the Japa-
nese note reached the Russian cabinet
on the afternoon of Jan. Is. and 1t is
felt that sufficient time has elapsed for
its consideration and the preparation
of a response. The Japanese govern
ment is conscious of the possible neces-
stiles of the military and naval situa-
ton, and is unwilling to permit eva
sions and delays which are designed to
gain time.
The future course of the Japanese
government is a carefully guarded Sc
cret. The length of time that Japan is
prepared to await the pleasure of Rus
STA. is unknown. 1t seems probable
that it has been determined to act de-
cisively within a few days.
The popular temper has long opposed
further delay. While many objected
to Japan taking the initiative, ma
jority would now welcome the issuance
of a brief ultimatum and declaration
of war if that should prove ineffective.
Some outside opinion here inclines to
the belief that the activity of the Jap
anese will be limited to the seizure of
Corea. which enterprise, 1t is thought
Russia would not oppose.
The Japanese government proceeds
with absolute secrecy, and the people
of Japan are not even informed of the
exact nature of the demands made on
Russia.

Victor. Col, Jan. 26.-By the falling
of a cage to-day in the Stratton lnde-
nendence mine. located near the CEN
Tor of this city. fifteen men are dead
and one other severely injured.
In the main shaft sixteen men were
being hoisted in a cage from the sixth,
soventh and eighth levels. When the
cage reached the surface. the engineer
for some unexplained reason, was I'M
oh,e to stop the engine and the cage
with its load of human freight was
drawn up into the gallows frame, where
it became lodged temporarily. The
strain on the cable finally caused it to
mart and the cage, released, shot down
the shaft with terrific speed.
Two of the occupants, L. P. jackson
and James Bullock. had become en-
tangled in the timber rods near the top
of the gallows frame. Jackson was
crushed to death b. the sheave wheel
falling upon him. while Bullock had
marvellous escape from death. but re-
ceived painful injuries, and was res
cued from his perilous position. The
other fourteen men were hurled to
death down the 1,5OO-foot shaft.
As soon as possible the shift boss and
a number of miners went down the
mine through another compartment OF
the shaft. They found all fifteen dead,
the bodies scattered in different direc-
tons.
Arms and bodies had been torn, heads
crushed and clothing stripped from the
victims. From the 700-foot level to the
bottom the shaft was spattered with
blood, while here and there were found
pieces of flesh clinging to the projec-
tions.
At the bottom of the shaft stands
twenty-five feet of water and into thi:
the cage plunged, carrying some of the
men into the water with it.
Frank Cells, engineer-in-charge, sur
rendered himself to the military officer!
in the district and was locked up. liz
would not talk.
The militia has taken charge of TIL,
mine, and a rigid examination will b,
made.

Indianapolis Ind, Jan. 26-The Unit
ed Mine Workers completed the work
of the fifteenth annual convention to-
day and adjourned until Thursday.
when the joint wage conference will
begin.
The miners to-day decided on their
demands for the central competitive
field. They will ask the operators to
resign the run of mine mining scale
in the four districts; will ask that the
absolute run of mine basis be adopted;
that the differential of cents in I'LL
nois be established in Indiana, Ohio
and Western Pennsylvania. There will
also be demand for uniform wage for
all outside laborers and uniform wages
for inside laborers. The operators will
make the. assertion that while the min
ers are not asking for an Increase in
the mining scale now in effect, the run
of mine basis and the dlfrerential of z
cents fiat would mean a heavy in
crease.
President John Mitchell practically
declined an increase of $4,000 a year in
his salary when a resolution was intro
duced, increasing it from $4,000 to $5,-
900. When put to a vote II seemed
that fully two-thirds of the house voted

New York, Jan. 6.-Representatlves
of steel companies met in conference
at the office of the Republic Iron and
Steel Company here to-day, the object
OF the conference, it was said, being an
attempt to revive the Southern iron
pool to sustain prices.
Among those present were President
A. w. Thompson of the Republic Iron
and Steel Company; President Don Ba-
con of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company. and J. c. Maben of the
Sloss- Sheffield Steel Company.
Nothing official was given out after
the meeting. 1t was ascertained, how
ever, that there had been g. general
discussion of three propositions, one to
form a general sales agency for the
products of the companies; another to
make an informal or "gentlemen's'
agreement on prices. another looking
to a merger of all the companies.

THE ISSUES UPON WHICH
RUSSIA AND JAPAN SPLIT.
Why the Two Countries Cannot
Reach an Understanding.

Reach an understanding.
Paris, Jan. 26.-The Russian answer
has not yet been sent to Japan, and it
now develops that the points of differ
ence threaten the possibility of a
deadlock in the negotiations. These
points are:
First. In Manchuria, Russia de-
clines to concede such unrestricted adj
mission of Japanese as will permit the
establishment of Japanese settlements.
Second. In Corea, Russia insists
that Japan's privileged position should
not permit her to establish control of
the egress and ingress of the sea of
Japan by terrifying the straits of Co
rea.
Concerning these points and the gen.
eral status of the negotiations, the fol-
lowing semi official statement, ema-
mating from the highest sources, is
made:
The question is undergoing alter
nate phases of depression and en-
couragement. For three or four days
it was believed that the final agree
ment was very near at hand, but yes
terday, the situation became a little
less hopeful.
Concerning Corea, Japan is show
ing great caution in accepting Rus
sias assurances of Japanese para
mount authority in Corea. Therefore,
Japan feels that her safety requires
the right to fortify the coast of south
east Corea, particularly Fusan, the
point opposite the Japanese island of
Tsu-Shima, but Russia is unwilling to
concede this, believing the effect will
be to make the sea of Japan closed
sea.
Concerning Manchuria, the chief
difficulty still open Is the limitation of
the right to establish Japanese settle
ments Russia does not appear to
object to the full liberty of Japanese
coming or going individually for pur-
poses of trade or otherwise, but she Is
unwilling to concede rights permitting
Japanese settlements in villages. SINH
lar to the foreign settlement at Shang-
hal.
There are still strong hopes that
the parties may find means of adjust
ing these points, but for the present
they constitute the main issues re-
naming OPEN"
