STEEL CORPORATION
 HAS LARGE ORDERS
SERVE TO SHOW CONDITION OF STEEL WORkS-IRON AGE SAYS COMPANY HAS ORDERS AGGRE- GATING 7,3oo,ooo TONS.

New York, December 2o.-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 The report that the United States Steel corporation has on it's books orders aggre- gating over 7,3oO0O0 tons Is true. No one fact could better serve to show the con dition of the steel works and rolling mills of the country since 1t is well known that the other large companies are similarly committed for their full capacity for long period to come.
 The policy of the United States Steel corporation in handling it's pig iron pur- chases will be guided by determination to prevent any undue rise in prices. Whatever metal is available will be talk en, but if there is a shortage to cover requirements the latter will be scaled down. The Steel corporation Is making about 90O00O tons per month and needs from 3O,0o0 tons to 10000 tons of outside iron per month, running at the present rate. A shortage of basic pig has again developed in the eastern markets. One steel works took 5000 tons at s1790 deliver ed, and took a like quantity, while a third

 BOAT SADIE LEWIS
CREW BEATEN AND MiSTREATED BY CAPTAIN AND MATE-CAP- TAIN IS HELD UNDER LARGE BOND.

Baltimore, Md, December 20-The wit Lewis of the oyster dredge boat Sadie Lewis, who was given a hearing today before United States Commissioner Rogers on the charge of cruelty to mem- bers of lis crew, were severe in their accusations, and as a result Captain for the action of the federal grand jury.
 The witnesses testified that they had been cruelty beaten by the captain from the time they put foot on board of the Sadie Lewis until relieved from their bondage by the United States authori- ties on board the revenue cutter Win dom. The testimony was also to the effect that white mate named Tom and colored mate named George Atwood were guilty of similar offenses.
 The two mates, 1t was testified, on one occasion beat one of the members of the crew almost into insensiblity and that in his efforts to avoid further punish ment the man fell overheard and was drowned without any serious effort being made to save him. The crew consisted of ten men, all of whom testified to acts of cruelty.
 Atwood one of the mates, was brought to Baltimore on the Windom as a wit ness for the government, but when the testimony against him developed war rant for his arrest was sworn out at the instance of United States District At torney John c. Rose and was held.

KEEN CONTEST FOR
 NY. SPEAKERSHIP
WADSWORTH IS SAID TO HAVE SUPPORT OF GOVERNOR HlG- GINS AND PRESIDENT RoosE- vELT-oDELL FOR MERRITT.

New York, December 2o.-With Assem- blyman James Wadesworth, Jr., and As semblyman E. A. Merritt, Jr., in the race the contest for the speakership of the lower house of the state legislature was very keen today. Statements were made on both sides and Senator Malby' one of those who spoke for MT. Merritt, said that MT. Merritt would continue in the race and added;
 We will not get shot in the back any way. I have known Governor Higgins when he was in the senate and while l do not intend to reflect on the ability of the executive I know of no reason why he does assume a divine right to dictate to anybody"
 MT. WadeswoTih. who is favored for tho speakership by Governor Higgins sad he knew of no reason why his candidacy could be said to have originated in Wash ington.
 "Think it could be said to have origi- mated in Washington? l think 1t origi- mated with a man in this state he added. q saw the President at social affair In Washington on Saturday and he men tioned the speakership, but do not know whether or not he is in favor of my candidacy"
 MT. Wadesworth was told that MT. Merritt and Senator Malby had declared that Governor Higgins action was an ih- reference with the assembly and dicta- tions to its members.
 MT. Wadesworth declined to say wheth- CT he is opposed to the continuance to MT, Odell as chairman of the Republican state committee. When he was told that G. w. Dunn of Binghamton had said that President Roosevelt favors MT. Wadsworth's candidacy, he said:
 That Is MT. Dunn's statement. do not know about it. l expect to meet the New York assemblymen while am hefe and to have the votes of half of them.
 Former Governor Odell, who has been reported to favor MT. Merritt, said:
 'I am not managing Mir Merritts cam paign. The only thing l could do for him would be to ask the assemblyman from my district to vote for him and l have not even done that" MT, Odell was asked if while he was governor, he had attempted to name speaker. He replied that he had not and that he knew of no previous instance or a. governor trying to name speaker or the assembly.
 MT. Merritt this afternoon said: q am in the race to stay until the fn- ish, I will be elected too. l have more votes than any other candidate and neither the President nor the governor can beat me.

BELAsco LOSES SUIT.
Decision Handed Down By Justice Fitz- geraId-Attracted Much Attention.

New York. December 2o.-Justice Fftz- gerald of the state supreme court today danded down a decision averse to Da- vid Belasco in the latter's suit against the theatrical firm of Klaw & Erlanger. The case was tried last April and at tracted much attention by reason of the we'll known actors and actresses who ap- peared as witnesses and testified regard ing the booking system by which certain firms or managers control practically all the better class of theatres throughout the country.
 The Belasco suit sought to hold Klaw & Erlanger as partners in contract for the management of David Warfield. This agreement was with one Jos. Brooks, who Belasco alleged was merely dunn my, his real principals being the firm of Klaw x Erlanger. The case was com plicated by an action brought by Brooks to prove that he was Belasco's partner. Justice Fitzgerald decided against Bel asco and at the same time granted Brooks contention.

purchased 15000 tons in addition to pur- chases of 10000 tons made short time ago. A fourth eastern steel company Is now in the market for 1S,Ooo to 10000 tons for delivery during the second half of 1906 Only about 10 per cent of the sheet mill capacity of the corporation can now be operated on account of the scarcity of steel while 92 per cent of the tin mills are running where more capacity ought to be employed. It was hoped that the wire trade would slacken this month so that steel could be increased, but the pressure on the wire mills Is too great.
 The structural trade is working under tremendous pressure, the open winter facilitating outdoor operations A very heavy tonnage is coming up for bridges for the railroads there are now in the market inquiries from three systems alone which need 72.000 tons among them. At Chicago 11.000 tons will be wanted for county building In Pittsburg bids are going in for two structures requiring 12,00O tons and New York has number of large structures which may soon be ready for contracting, unless the labor situation should become too serious. There is a heavy export movement in progress.

RECORD BREAKING
 IN THE BUSINESS
ORE TO THE AMOUNT OF 3o,0Co,ooo TONS WILL BE PROV IDED FOR WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. oo,ooo,ooo FOR U. S. STEEL.

Cleveland, O., December 20.-(Special)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Record breaking in the ore business continues. Not only have the production and shipments for 1905 and the sales for 1906 been for in excess of those of any other years, but within a few days char tering of vessels has been done at unpre- cedented rates for this time of the year.
 Contracts have already been made for the carrying of nearly 100000 tons of iron ore and the United States Steel cor poration will soon contract for S,0OO,OOO tons, while in it's own vessels it will car ry about 12,OoOOOo tons. so that within few days ore to the amount of 3O,0o0.OO will be provided for
 The total ore movement by lake from the Lake Superior mines for the season just closed was 33,473,7Ss tons, of which the steel corporation shipped 1S,779,S4 tons. The all rail shipments will make the grand total for the season about S4,- 000,000 tons.
 The announcement that the interests which now control the Republic Iron and Steel company nave elected HaJorlty of the board of the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad company is an important de- velopment in the southern situation. The attempt made about year ago to form a consolidation of these concerns had one important result because the inventory of the properties then taken disclosed to greater extent than had been formally appreciated the great value of the south ern ore deposits. The close utilization and the probable consolidation of the Republic and Tennessee interests will doubtless result in making them an in- creasingly important factor in the manu- featuring world.
 The report that a deed covering the iron ore interests of James J. Hill and associates had been placed on file. con- veying to the United States Steel cor poration, all the Hill properties on the Mesaba range is denied. The Hill inter- ests have been estimated as having de- posits of from 900 to 5Oo,0o0.000 tons.
