IRON AND STEEL TRADE HEAVY
Total Sales For Week Foot Up to
25O,o0o Tons.


The feature OF the iron and steel
trades continues to be the heavy buy
ing of steel rails, says the Iron Age.
Last week the railroads ordered 100000
tons. but for the week just closed it is
estimated that total sales footed up to
25O. 900 tons. The biggest order reported
by the trade paper last week was one
for $4,000 tons by the Santa Fe, but
there are three orders of $4,000 tons or
over this week
Among the large orders are 10000 tons
for the Chicago and Northwestern.
5000 tons for the st. Paul and $4,000
tons for the Chicago Burlington and
Quincy. In the south the Atlantic Coast
Line has taken $1,000 tons. while the
Tidewater railway has ordered between
5000 and 10000 tons and the Reading
road $1,000 tons. 1t is understood that
within the next two weeks the require
ments of the Pennsylvania and the New
York Central roads will be brought
out.
Further heavy equipment orders
have been placed says the Iron Age,
the Pennsylvania leading with over
/ 10000 steel cars. Among the orders to
be placed is a lot of 1000 steel cars for
the Lake Shore and Eastern, controlled
by the Steel Corporation.
"The activity in nearly all lines Of
! finished material Is evidenced by the
fact that the orders booked by the
Steel Corporation for August make that
the record raonth. The pressure which
caused the advance IN the price Of
structural material from l.6O cents
base, Pittsburg, to 1.70 cents last week
is expected to lead to like advance in
the price of plates at an early date.
Angle bars have been put up to 1.5O cts.
/ Pittsburg, and some makers of iron
bars are holding out for higher figures.
/ From Cleveland comes the news that
contracts have been let for 'wo addi-
tional ships, and 1t IS reported that two
orc vessels Of exceptional size are to be
given out at an early date.
In the pipe trade the principal item

AT THE CLUB

A fierce "Taku" win dstorm prevailed in the vicinity of the Treadwell club last Wednesday evening and the storm center seemed to be the bowling alleys. The force of the gale was sufficient to knock several Juneau visitors who happened to be amusing themselves with the balls in the alley at the time, completely off their feet No damage was done, except to the feelings of the aforesaid gentlemen. However, during the progress of the storm, prize cup, cast at the TreadwelI foundry about year ago, and which has since been resting peacefully at Juneau, the tenn porary property of bowlers of that fair citv, was blown back across the chan nel to it's original and rightful abiding place.
 The bowling contest held in Juneau Saturday night between the Treadwell Takus and Juneau Cyclones resulted in q victory for the latter. The highest individual score, l8G, was made by Ed. Cbristoe of the Treadwell team, the highest average, I72, by Sheldon of the Cyclones.
 The cup still belongs to the Takus however, as on this occasion they were not bowling for a trophy. Another "war of the winds will occur on "ed- nesday evening, Feb. 9.
 A pleasant evening is anticipated for next Saturday, at the club. There will be dancing for those who care for it Also a friendly game of tenpins be- tween the Whirlwinds of Juneau and a picked team from TreadwelI. A mum Der of visitors are planning to come over from Juneau for the occasion.
 The board of directors held meet ing Monday evening and attended t( several matters pertaining to the m provement of the club building

John G. Brady stopped long enough at Portland, to give the Oregonian the following;
 Governor Brady has been for eight years the chief executive of Alaska, having been appointed in 1897 by Pres ident Mckinley.

Brady's sterling worth, honesty and common sense, as we'll as his earn est efforts for the best interests of Alaska, were recognized by President Roosevelt, who has appointed him gov ernor for four more years, his term dating from January 14 last, when his appointment was confirmed by con gress.

VENEZUELAN TRANQUIL
LITTLE COUNTRY REGAINING AC-
 CUSTOMED TEMPERATURE.
Castro Hopes That the Big and worri- some Powers Will Now Let Him Visit Around for Awhile in
 Quiet

Correspondence of the Associated Press
 Caracas. April 6.-Affairs in Venezuela have assumed more tranquil aspect than for many months. Frances atti- tude fin the case against the French Ca which the United States accepted Pres ident Castro's refusal to accept arbitra- tion have disarmed fear
 It is unlikely that the decision or the entire tribunal to which the cable com penys case has been appealed will be announced for several months. No de- cision is expected in the New York and Bermuda Asphalt Company case for at least a month and as Venezuela has ap- peased Holland by releasing three Of the five Lutch sailors imprisoned in that country. there seems no chance for a turn of affairs in the immediate fu- ture which will aggravate present con- ditions.
 The announcement of President Roosevelt's departure from Washin gton is regarded here as indicating that the United States has no thought of taking immediate action to settle the questions which 1t Is seeking to arbitrate with Venezuela Italy is urging the adjust ment of the trouble between the Marti- nj Company's coal mines at Guante and the Venezuelan government. The government threw the property into the hands of a receiver much as was done in the case of the New York and Der muda Asphalt Company in January. and the representations of Italy have been conciliatory and there is no reason to expect harsh measures from that source France expected the cable com pany's property in Venezuela to be con fiscated but Venezuela authorities insist that there has never been any danger of such action
 In the decision of the president Of the highest court 1t was plainly stated however. that the court was not pass ing on the question of any damages which the government may have sus- tained from acts of the cable company. Consequently Frenchmen interested Tn the company fear that after annulling the contract the Venezuelan govern ment may also bring action for revolu- tionary damages and obtain Judgment which will practically amount to con dscatiOn

NEGOTIATIONS BEGUN
CHICAGO's FIRST EFFORT TOWARD
 MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Conference Between Oncials and Street Railway Representatives Preliminary to Probable Sale
 of Property.

Chicago, April 19.-Negotiations for the purchase of the Chicago Street Railways were opened today between the traction representatives and the city. A proposition is pending under which the companies will at once pro- ceed to modernize their lines and sell to the city at fair price. thus getting rid of all legal complication and se- curing immediate municipal owner ship.
 The conference took place in the of- flee of City Controller McGaun, the following persons being present: May or Dunne, Corporation Counsel Tol- man: Special Traction Attorney Clar- ence s. Darrow; Comptroller McGann, W. W. Guersey, counsel for the Union Traction Company, receivers Joseph s. Aurbach, counsel for the Eastern trac- tion magnates, and Rachel R. Gavin of the firm of Rollins & Co of New York.
 The nearest approach to definite re- suits obtained from the conference was a practical agreement upon joint conference to be held soon by the Mayor. the traction interests and the City Council Committee on Transpor- tation, looking to the ultimate pur- chase of the lines and the settlement of all controversy between the street railway companies and the city.

xnnan,s Loans.

Washington, April 19.-It is learned here that the Japanse Government is about to raise another domestic loan of $50, 900, 900 and the fact that this fol- lows so quickly upon the fourth domestic loan and the Issue of the s15O, 1000, 900 foreign loan in London and New York has led to an explanation from official sources designed to correct misapprehension. This is to the effect that the projected loan is part of the whole general scheme of war expen- ditures, estimated at $390,000.000 ap- propriated for by the Japanese Parlia- ment in the budget for the present fis- cal year. It is further explained that in preparing its financial scheme the Japanese government has purposely di- vided the loans with special reference to the periods of subscription and the monthly war expenses. Attention is called to the fact that the foreign loan Is extended to maintain the specie re- serve for trade purposes and only the domestic loan Is to meet the war ex- penses. As the major portion of these are paid in Japan. the expension of the convertible notes and consequent rise in prices Is prevented. These domestic loans are provided for during the fis- cal year by an appropriation of $75,- 000.000 to be derived from war taxes and 1t is stated that the result of the increased taxation so far has been per- fectly satisfactory.
