PINCH PIPE FOR KANSAS
youngstown Iron Min Has an Order
for Twenty-seyen Miles.

New York, May 25.-In all the leading
distributing centers the pig iron mar
ket is very quiet, according to the Iron
Age. No sales of any consequence for
forward delivery have taken place, but
there is a fair volume of orders for
early delivery and consumers are tax
ing their iron on old contracts steadily.
Steel biIlets are somewhat easier and
st is worthy of notice that the leading
interest is again offering steel more
freely abroad
AS for the finished products, the buy
ing and the consumption in the heavy
lines is great and promising to continue

One northern mill has taken 1856 tons

placed.

makers of merchant pipe have had a

mills are running very slowly.
While scrap is still very weak, there
are some indications that some of the
dealers are turning buyers.

BANQUETERS SHOCKED.
Graeme Stewart Collapsed as Paul
Morton Arose to Speak.

Chicago, May 15.=Paul Morton
secretary of the navy, and Theodore P.
Shonts, chairman of the Panama
canal commission, were the guests OF
the Chicago Bankers club at a ban
quet here Wednesday night. Just as
Secretary Morton had taken the floor
to commence his speech, Graeme
Stewart, former national committee
man of the Republican party in Ill-
nOis, fell forward in his chair uncon-
scious. He was quickly carried to a
sofa at the side Of the room and sew
eral physicians who we're present
worked over him for several minutes
before they were able to restore him
to consciOUsn ess. He was afterWard
taken home much improved. His ILL
ness was an acute attack of indiges-
ton coupled with slight congestion
of the BRAIN
Secretary Morton was asked to re-
spond to the toast of 1.-THE President
and after expressing his pleasure at
being able to meet the members of the
Bankers club, he said of President
Roosevelt:
he is. taken all in all, one of the
most remarkable of all of the great
men who have occupied the White
House As earnest in his love of COun-
try as Washington, as farseeing as
JEFFERSON, as courageous as Jackson
and as much opposed to human sla-
very in all forms as Abraham Lincoln,
ne stands robust in his integrity and
sturdy in his determination that there
shall be a square deal, all around.
Mr. Shonts said: Congress for
some reason unknown to US, although
twice asked to declare its wishes, fail
ed to limit the purchase Of materials
and supplies entering into the con-
struction of the canal to American
markets. Whatever the reasol- in the
absence of instructions from con
gress. the commission feels it to be its
duty to make its purchases in what
ever markets of the world it can, but
In the cheapest. This policy it is pur-
suing. and inasmuch as it is getting
the great mass of its supplies in
American markets the inference is
plain, that Notwithstanding our pro
fective laws and Notwithstanding our
high wages to labor, the American
markets are in the main the cheapest
markets in the world"

TO RIDE AN ELEPHANT
Major Anderson Proposes to Test Big
Animals Racing Ability.

I. NJ. Blitz, who has charge of the
concessions for the Home Week Festi-
val. had occasion yesterday to confer
with Major T. J. Anderson, the secre-
tary of the Commercial club, on some
matters concerning the dispositions of
certain things for the coming Carni-
val. The matter seemed to be
rather hard one to decide, each one of
them taking his side of the affair and
not seeming the least bit willing to
side in with the other. After consid-
cradle elaboration, the matter was
amicably settled. The conversation
then drifted into the relative speed of
a camel as compared to that of an
elephant. The major claimed he knew
positively that an elephant, although
rather Ungainly looking, could, if
pushed, travel a great deal faster than
a camel, while Blitz said that he
knew that camel could easily de-
feat an elephant.
The argument again was somewhat
heated, when Joseph Barrett, who is
here in the interest of the Great Gas
kill Shows, walked into the Office.
fSee here" says Blitz Il want you to
decide something for me-" Hold on
a moment" said the major, 'let me
tell him of It." But, I know as much
about it as you do, said Blitz.
