 America,

London. Feb. 1.-The Associated Press can announce with authority that Mrs. Florence Maybrick is now in a home m distant part of England and under the care of the members of a religious slS- 1erllood. She has not been released. and she is kept under surveillance. but to al intents and purposes her life now, com pared to her existence in Aylesoury pris- on. is that of free woman.
 She will remain where she is until neS { July, when her punishment will be ended under the special license and she will be allowed to go free. subject to the usual ccnditions, governing ticket of leave con- viets.
 The transfer of Mrs. Maybrick from q penal prison 10 quiet country home con- stitutes an almost unprecedented action on the part of theauthorities It was q ,.e to the mediation of Adelaine AIal4e.

IRON AND STEEL TRADE.
Much Interest Centers in Meeting in
 Cleveland

New York, Feb. Recommending upon conditions in the iron trade the Iron Age says in its issue of to-day:
 A good deal of interest attaches to the meeting at Cleveland tomorrow of the miners and shippers of lake ore at which prices for the coming season of 1904-05 are to be discussed. Sales for the next season have been exceedingly light thus far and the condition of the pig iron market is such that the merchant fur naces will need tempting figures before they take hold.
 Sellers of Southern foundry iron are more eagerly looking for business for forward delivery. The heavy bookings for the last quarter, of the last year took care of considerable part of the stock. of current output and of production for the first two months. It is now Il question to provide or the second quarter and the feeling Is weaker
 Furnaces on the lake shore and central west are making low figures and reports of $12 for No 2 at furnace are current.
 The steel corporation is blowing in ad- ditional stacks and has very largely in- creased production to cover requirements. The drastic measures of November and December have told and it is understood that even with. the new capacity at work the requirements are urgent. Specifications for steel are coming in at lively rate and tonnage is increas- l ing.
 The paucity of orders from the rail- roads had brought to grief very long established pool-that on locomotive tires. Lately open hearth steel tires have sold as low as $25O delivered at distant Western points.
 The arrangement existing among the three leading mills of the Central West which make hoops and bands, has gone | to pieces and low prices are being made l Since this preceded the fixing of prices for cotton ties. an open market for the latter seems certain.
 Reports from the wire and tube trade continues excellent. Reports relating tu the bar trade are mixed Some note a very good tonnage and others complain | of local cutting.
 1 A somewhat better volume of business
 is coming out in plates and structural
 material, but even with this encourage.
 ment the tonnage is quite inadequate.

'BOYCOTTING CHARGE
WARRANTS SWORN oUT FOR MEMBERS OF UNION.
Waldhorst, Mossley and Brantle Ac. cused of Causing J. E. Wallen- haupt Foreman of a Brew
 cry, to Lose His Job.

Birmingham, Feb. 4.-fSpecial. Jon a warrant sworn out before Justice. H. B. Abernathy, F. x. Waldhorst, President of
 local carpenters union, c. s. Moseley,
 business agent and Joe Frantic, a Lad ing member of the union, are accused of Interfering with the lawful employment
 of J. E. Wallenhaupt. The case may be heard in the Criminal
 Court, and is the first that comes with n the rulings of the anti-boycott law. The following statement is made in ref erence to the case. Wallenhaupt was foreman at the Ala
 bamn Brewery, an institution which em- ploys nothing but union labor It is claimed that Walienhaupt's residence was destroyed ny fire some time ago and he gave the job of repairing and practically rebuilding the house to neighbor who was carpenter but who was not mem- Der of the union.
 It is claimed that a de,egation of the union carpenters called on Walienhaupt
 and asked him to employ only union la-
 Dor in his carpentry work. but he declined to dismiss his neighbor. It Is asserted that the union of carpenters had repre- sentatives to request the brewery own CTS to discharge their foreman, Wallen- haupt, but on this there is denial so far as the accused are concerned. Wallen- haupt has lost his position at the brewery. At one time Wallenhaupt was one of the | most ardent members of the carpente s l union. It is understood that an attorney | for Wallenhaupt will bring suit for civil action against the union of the carpen-
 ters. If this should be done there will
 be many men involved and the entire
 union circles will be stirred up.
 l F. x. Waldhorst one of the accused men, is at the head of the Socialist party 1 in Alabama. He is one of the most active
 members of the carpenters union and is
 we'll known not only in Birming am and
 the Birmingham district. but throughout the State.

HAD TEMpEsrUoUs VOYAGE.
All Well on Board the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse. However,

"AnC1m uCF GEUSSS, however.
 New York, Feb. A wireless telegraph dispatch from Nantucket lightship says; the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der c 'os Sc, which will dock this morning. forty eight hours late. experienced a most tempest:- ous voyage across the Atlantic, but all on board were reported well.
 Soon after the departure from Cher buurg the vessel ran into q heavy south- easter. This soon shifted to the west and raised head sea through which the steamship plunged heavily.
 Throughout Thursday and Friday. the gale continued. with now and then a hail squdll rapping hard on the deck. On r. l. day night the barometer portended some still worse weather, and by ? o'clock tha morning a seventy miles an hour gala was shrieking overhead. Struggling against 1t at reduced speed the ship ma le only 2iS knots. The gale broke on S.tur- day noon, but left behind a gigantic swell. It was a wild scene, but so deep were the plunges that most of the pas sengers were content to remain in their state rooms.
 l. was. however but brief respite which the weather gave, and Sunday found the Kaiser struggling with auot CT furious gale. This finally blew itself out, and then came another, which. toward midnight, developed into cyclone A port ventilator went with crash, the stout iron cylinder being literally twisted from it's fastenings and hurled to the deck with Q crash. The tops of five other ven- tilators were snapped off, some sailing overheard, others bounding and crashing about the decks.
 The COW of the vessel was swung straight into the wind, and there she lay for three hours. great seas breaking over her bow and her whole length hidden in storms of spray Captain Cuppers re- mained on the bridge constantly until the storm passed. No person was injured and no great alarm was felt among the pas sengers.

This is q deciding majority and the claim is made that the majority will be maintained even to the convention. A leading administra- tlon follower stated today that everything looked bright for those having President Roosevelt's campaign in charge in this State. Considerable ambition has lately been lost by the anti-administration leaders. though they still show fight here abouts.

DOOR WILL BE OPEN.
Mrs. Maybrick Will Not Be Deported
 From America.


 Washington. Feb. 4.-In view of the sug- gestion that has made in the press to the effect that Mrs. Maybrick when released from prison will not be permitted to land In the United States on the ground that she has been convict it is learned that that issue probably will be avoided py the simple device of taking out a pass port from the United States embassy in London.
 While the doctrine is not absolutely set tied. the state department practice has been to admit the right of an American woman who has married an alien to le- gain her citizenship in America upon the death of her husband by a mere assor- tion of her desire to do so.
 So Mrs. Maybrick, being released may come into the United States as an Amer iean citizen and as such would not be subject to the operations of the exclusion | llws which apply only to foreigners.
