PRESSURE BEARS FRUIT
ENGLAND SECURES PROTECTION
FOR PERSECUTED ARMENEANs.
Foreign Secretary Lansdowpe Tells of
Representations Made to the
Porte and the Result of
the Statements.

London, June 3o.-Great Britain has
successfully brought pressure to bear
on the Porte for the relief of the per-
secuted Armenians. according to state
ments in a letter written by Foreign
Secretary Lansdowne to the Anglo
Armenian Association.
The letter says that Nicholas O'Con-
nor. the British Ambassador at Con-
stantinople. in a long interview with
the Grand Vizier. Ferid Pacha, June IA,
pointed out to that official the respon-
sibility of the Porte, should the reports
of Kurdish outrages prove true.
The Ambassador called the attention
of the Grand Vizier to the design which
had been accredited to the Turkish au-
thorities OF driving the Armenians
from their mountain homes to thu
plains, and urged that orders should
be sent to the Vail of Bitlis that refu-
gees be allowed to return to their
homes and be given protection from
the Kurds.
The Grand Vizier acquiesced in the
wishes of Sir Nicholas O'Connor. and
telegraphed orders to that effect in
the presence of the Ambassador. The
British Vice Consul at Bitlis was noti-
fed of the Grand Vizier's actions, and
instructed TO report its effect.
Lord Lansdowne said that the Porte
had also granted permission for a Brit
ish officer to accompany any troops en-
gagged in expeditions against the in
surgents.

MEDIATION OUT OF QUESTION.
Japan and Russia Would Not Consider
IL at Preaenf

London, June 30.-The news from
Washington that steps were believed
to have been taken looking to media
ton between Russia and Japan creates
great surprise here. The British gov
eminent not only has taken no part
in such measures but apparently is
ignorant that they are in progress.
Oficial opinion here, from Premier
Balfour down. is that the time is not
yet ripe for any offer of mediation;
but to quote person in Mr.. Balfour's
confidence Great Britain has kept .4e
door open for any such contingency.
1t is not likely that this government
would be accpetable in the role of ar
bitrator, but II would, at the right
time. use all its influence to urge the
belligerents TO accept the offer from
a suitable mediator. There seems to
be no reason for thinking that the
government would rot fill that role
suitably. but Russian opinion is always
a rather unknown factor"
From the highest Official sources
here and from the japanese legation
comes the positive statement that
nothing whatever has resulted from
the interviews between King Edward
and Emperor William at KEEL. that IN
any way was connected with the
Russo-Japanese war. There seems to
be no doubt that responsible ministers
seriously warned King Edward that ne
must not initiate any step in that dl-
rection with his imperial nephew.
The Japanese legation, u appears
made discreet inquiries as to whether
this advice was carried out. and IL
was stated there tonight that theFe

mosquitoes.
Mr.. McAllister was much impressed
with the idea that the cleveland

was every reason to believe the war
was not discussed at KEEL except in
the most conversational and informal
way.
1t was also pointed out at the jap
anese legation, which was entirely ig-
norant Of any news concerning a
movement towards mediation, that
the present moment would be the most
inopportune os far as Japan is con-
cerned. for any such step. Japan, II
was maintained at the Legation, must
first secure some such strategical
point as Iiaoyang before she Is In a
position to maintain such ADVANTAGES
as she has already won in Manchuria.
Without a commanding strategical
base. Japanese ohicials here believe
their force would be unable either to
rest on their present laurels or to push
forward.
Whether this IL accomplished by a
battle. or by the retirement of
the Russians. the japanese here say,
cannot be dreamed OF until
that phase Of the struggle is settled
in one way or the other. Subsequent to
the japanese achieving or falling in
this objective, 1t was thought that me-
diation might be possible, but Baron
Hayashi. the Japanese minister. reiter-
ates that the terms Japan was willing
to accept prior to the hostilitics can
not possibly be considered now.

THE IRON MARKET.


First Half Of 1904 Ends with Bestric-
tive Movement Under Way.
Cleveland. o.. June 20.-The Iron
Trade Review. in its current issue says:
The first half of 1904 ends with a
restrictive movement under way in the
iron trade that promises to bring pig
iron production back to the February
basis. when the output was at a yearly
rate Of less than 100000 tons. The
extent of shut downs of rolling mills
and steel works on July 1 and the
length Of the idle period cannot be
fully determined at this writing, but
will be considerable. Scale disagree
ments will cause some Interruption.
particularly in sheet and tin plate mills.
and to some extent In bar mills.
But there Is disposition among
blast furnace operators to prevent the
accumulation OF their product so that
the idleness OF the mills will not
necessarily mean further weakening In
the pig market.
An agreement was reached by the
American Sheet and Tin Plate Company
in the week on the basis of Is per
cent reduction from last years scale.
which leaves wages as they have been
since the special April conference. The
rebate question is still undecided. how
ever. Independent sheet manufactur-
ers want 20 per cent reduction and
are still in conference with the work.
ers. The non-union mills of the lead
ing interests are the disturbing factors
and the possibility of idleness Of all
union sheet and tin plate mills for
some weeks is not remote.
The Republic Iron and Steel Com
pany will close most Of its mills for a
part of July at least. At Joliet, ILL.,,
the rod mill department has closed
down and further suspensions there
are expected. The National Tube
Company will close down some Of It's
mills for urgent repairs. but has plenty
OF orders. A number of American
Steel and Wire Company plants as
well as Independent wire plants In tho
Pittsburg and Ironton districts will be
out in early July. The hoop and bar
mills of the Carnegie Steel Company
are expected to be Off for a time, the
scale being still unsigned.
With not a few mills there Is no
pressing necessity for running on and
the mid-year inventory and repairs are
opportune. In the Central West few
more blast furnaces have gone out and
there Is an evident adjustment to the
requirements of a quiet summer
In spite of these general preparations
for curtailed output there has been
more than a fair volume of inquiry
for pig iron and for steel products in
the past week. If anything like the
full tonnage represented in the inquiry
were realized in orders the activity
would be marked. The pig iron situa-
tion gives token of more life and the
proportion OF inquiry resulting in hnsi-
ness is probably greater than In
