their parole. When the latter are in' termed they will stay interned.
 The three officers of the gunboat or transport Lena now lying disarmed Tn San Francisco bay have been ordered to return to their ship, and to stay there in accordance with their parole If need be. the officers and men of tho Lena can be deprived of shore leave and that was in store for them no doubt if the three officers had not been ordered to return to the Lena.
 The action of the Russian govern ment relieves this country from the necessity of making an apology to Japan. and it also settles a grave ques- ton that would have arisen between this country and Russia. Russia is in short taking lessons in international maratime law, and she will be for tunate if she can settle all of them as readily and as easily as she did the Lena entanglement. This country is in honor bound to see that none of the Lena officers or men engage in warfare during the present war in the far east, for that is what internment means, and the principle will be main tained in the case of the Lena.

'The relief given to the families of the Virginia City miners has not only been greatly appreciated, but 1t has put nope into the hearts of many q forlorn woman that had been crushed to the point oI despair" said the Rev Dr. stagg. chair man of the relief committee.

From the New York Commercial.
 @ THROUGHOUT the greater part of IVY Europe-in so far as the conti-
 mental capitals and fashionable resorts are concerned-there is a removal of hats by gentlemen when they meet one another. It is the custom in Paris
 This lifting of the hat upon meeting men friends is not followed by Americans. All that is thought essential is a glance of recognition, a nod of the head and saluteful swing of the arm; if there is to be an accentuation of frendliness, the sweeping salute of the walking stick can convey this distinction. The courtesy of lifting ones hat is received-and credit ably so--as a special act of homage to the gentler sex. It is proper to lift ones s hat when one sees a lady of ones ac- quaintanoe unaccompanied, accompanied by a man whom he knows or doesn't know, or to a man accompanied by a lady whom he does not know; and the man in all these three instances must re- turn the salutation.
 But the etiquette of the hat may be said to be typified at top-noteh in the cul- tured spectacle of two well-bred London clubmen who, in greeting, lift the hats with the left hand and simultaneously extend the right for handclasp-the same formality being instituted when parting.
 The modes in raising the hat had set tied down-with the incoming of the pres ent unpicturesque epoch in apparel for men-to a conservatism in keeping there with, And it was not until the seventies that Harry Montague-"juene premier of Wallack's Theatre Stock company, in which line of parts he has never had a successor-introduced the Montague snap" It was a most cleverly managed procedure-withal gentlemanly-and was one of the distinct hits of the play. It consisted in getting a firm hold of the middle of the front edge and bringing it straight down with a swift movement to somewhat at the right side of the waist the hat in repose being turned almost inside up. There was real knaek of doing it in good form, and the gilded youth of 'thenadays'' were wont to pay several studious visits to Wallack's and rehearse before mirrors by the hour be- fore they mastered the doffing. Nor was it thought outre, during the two seasons that it held sway, for the younger femi- nine element of fashionable society to doff proficiently their specially-bought derbys a la Montague. in exceedingly cute limitations of their idol. in response to similar salutations from their young women and young men friends.
 In the eighties there was another fad, we'll enough as an innovation, but diff cult to carry out gracefully. It was lift ing the hat from the head. having it's crown down on level with tha chin. just

Pittsburg correspondents say that in fifteen days 26S,oOO tons of pig iron have been sold, divided as follows:
 Kind: Tons. Price Ressemer ........,... 60,OOO $loW lur' Basic ................. 20,00O 150Oq15.S 8 fur Southern No. fdry .1S5OoO l8.0O@l3.5O Bir Northern No. fdry is,0OO 1575Ql6.25 fur
 Total .263,VOO
 While the output Is at the rate of about twenty-two million tons year, yet the prices are pretty well main tained. The prices of finished steel are particularly strong.
 The steel trust is asking $24.5O a ton for steel billets, and $27 a ton for steel bars. While Bessemer iron com mands but $155O, billets afford great profit. Either iron should go up, or steel come down. But all forms of finished steel at any rate are going up, while pig iron shows no gains.
 The steel trust has just purchased from the merchant mills 10000 tons of Bessemer iron for March delivery, and it is stated it will need even more iron
 Great as the rate of production is, the consumption is equal to 1t, and no accumulation of iron is reported in any section. So long as the consump- tion of iron is equal to the production, and the prices of steel are advancing, no one can complain of the condition of the great industry. The market is active, the outlook promising, and the entire country hopeful. The steel trust has many furnace stacks, but it can not make iron enough to keep it's steel mills in full operation, and it has to resort to the merchant furnaces in or der to get full supply.

MIR HAY RESTORED TO HEALTH

That is good news of Secretary Hay
which n from abroad, that he is
entirely restored to health and Will,
Oh his return r:esume the duties as
head Of the state department. When
Mr.. Hay went to Europe many feared,
he had given up public service for all
time. The whole country will welcome
him back to his home and his post
of duty.
The state department is really with
out a head now. Mr.. Loomis. the first
assistant secreta,y of state, should
under ordinary circumstances, act as
secretary in the absence of his chief,
but for some reason not known to the
public, he has net done so. Before
the president left Washington on his
hunting trip south and west he virtual
ly acted as head of that department.
During his absence, Secretary Taft,
of the war department, really was the
acting secretary Of state. Mr.. Roose-
welt left him in charge of the admins
tration. Since the presidents return
he and Mr.. Taft seem to have run mat
department together.
No other president ever took upon
himself so much of the work of the
state department. This is very marked
in Mr.. Roosevelt's conduct, especially
with regard to foreign affairs and the
intercourse with the representatives of
other nations. Intercourse used to be
carried on between the president and
foreign representatives through the
secretary of state. Now much of it is
direct with the president. Much of
this was done even while Mr.. Hay was
at the head Of the department. The
