Danville Abandons Prohibition,

DanVllle AbandOns Prohibition.
The reports from Danville from time to
time of the operation of prohibition in
that city have been so conflicting that
VIC have never been able TO form any
definite conclusion as to the facts. The
press proclaimed that 1t was glorious
success, and the ants We're equally en-
dismal failure. At any rate, after trying
the experiment for two years, a majority
Of the voters declared their preference
for the lcgalized sale of sprituous and
malt liquors. The vote was very close,
but we do, not believe that law OF
this character or of any character, can
be successfully enhanced where a ma
jority, however small or oven Il large
and influential minority arc opposed to
1t.
That, to our mind, is the crux of the
matter for local regulation, and each
and every community should be law
unto itself under the general regulations
Of the State. If tho people of any COM
munity are opposed to saloons, they
should have, and In Virginia they have,
the right to prohibit them. But unless
the opposition is overwhelming in point
of numbers and unless 1t Is sincere.
liquor will be sold in spite of prohibi-
ton
In all such election contests great mo-
raj and religious pressure is brought 10
bear upon voters, and many men who
do no. at least believe in prohibition
are induced TO vote for closing the sa-
looms, because they lack courage to take
sides against the moral element, or be-
cause they are unwilling to ba classcd
with the "bar-room advocates" The mo-
raj element always draws the lines
sharply, aud says to the voter You
other. You must he Il temperance man
or a whiskcy man. and your ballot de-

occupy, and many such men have beer
! thus forced against their will to vote
the prohibition ticket In local con,
test. Hence II Is that even a local op

fair test of public sentiment
Speaking again Of the Danvllc case, W,
cannot believe that Il majority of th'

Successful Experiments Made Under
New Process.

AZ the result of experiments in the
concentration of black sands. which he
conducted at the Lewis and Clark CEN

during the past summer, DR.. David r.
Day OF the United States geological
survey. makes the noteworthy state.
ment that conditions for the production
OF steel by electricity are fully us good
IN Oregon as they are in Germany.
where pig iron has been obtained in
similar electric furnaces at slightly
lower cost than in ordinary blast fur
mace practice.
A preliminary report on the subject
OF smelling by electricity the magnetic
iron ores obtained from various l.<ints
on the Pacific beach has been submit
ted by DR.. Day to the director of the
geological survey.
After considerable correspondence
with the patentees Of various forms Of
electric furnaces arrangements were
made with the Wilson Aluminium Com
pany OF New York for the services Of
c. E. Wilson, their expert in electrical
smelting. Mr.. Wilson arrived in Port
land on October II, and at the end Of
one week had erected small but eff
ctent electric furnace, and was making
steel. He had procured III the east
rs carbon electrodes-each AZ inches
long and four inches squa. 'e--sucn as
are ordinarily used in electric fur
naces. The rest of his equipment was
obtained in Portland from materials
kept in stock or easily made at foun-
dry.
" In building the furnace a course of
ordinary Carnegie fire brick was laid
upon the ground. Upon this single
course was laid a cast-iron plate. five
eighths Of an inch thick, three feet long.
and three feet wide. On this was placed
an oval sheet-iron drum Of No. is iron
three feet long by three feet high. The
sides of this drum were lined with Are
bricks to form crucible IS by IS
inches and "a inches high. The bottom
OF the crucible was covered. from the
cast iron plate up to the tapping hole,
with broken carbon electrode. The car
bon electrode to carry the current was
suspended by a pulley above this fur
nacr end connected VITA 4 balance. i
axle and wheel by which 1t could be
raised or lowered. The top Of the fur
mace was covered with two double
plates of riveted wrought iron, between
which cold water was run. In the GEN.
ter of this water jacketed cover an
opening was left sufficient to allow the
free play up and down Of the carbon
electrode. This furnace is referred to
as Small furnace" or furnace A..
Power for Furnace A.
Through the cooperation of the Port

THE STRIKE IN COURT
The Weather Too Indictment for
 Outside Development.

Chicago, May 1.-The teamsters' strike today was practically without incident Driving storms of wind and
 rain which swept the streets at ire quent intervals had the effect of driV-
 ing the majority of the pickets from their posts, and there was practically
 no disturbance of any kind in the busi- ness section of the city. On the out skirts, however, there were a few at I Hacks upon the drivers of delivery wag- ons but with the exception Of one fcoIored man, who was knocked sense
 less by a stone, nobody was injured. The most important part of the strike developments was the examina- tion of witnesses this afternoon before Master-in- -chancery. Sherman, who is i taking testimony relative to the all legged violation of the federal injunc-
 tions granted in favor of the employ ers' association and the seven express
 companies
 AdoIph Pfeil, for eleven years an em- ploye of the United States Express company. but now a striker refused to answer questions, on the ground that | he might incriminate himself Queries ] put to him by the attorney for the employers association covered the grounds of the cause of the strike and ' ordered or advised him to strike. To all O. these questions Attorney Lebos-
 key, for the defendants, made strenu- i ous objections, with the result that there occurred between him and At , torney Mayer, acting for the plaintiffs,
 numerous alterations, in one of which ] Attorney Mayer declared that in stat i ing matters 70 the master Attorney Ieboskey had been unfair almost to the point of dishonesty. The wrangles were finally terminated by the state ment of the master that the matter
 would be certified to the federal court as to whether or not the witness had proper grounds on which to base his refusal to answer questions. At torney said that he would not take the
 matter before tTe court immediately,
 because he expected similar occur Fences in the future, and he would
 present them all at one time.
 Two non-union drivers testified con-
 corning assaults and threats by strik- Pers. The hearing before Master-in-
 chancery sherman will be continued i tomorrow.
