A goat with fondness for paper caused
a sad gap in the naval record Of John Con-
molly Of Detroit. who is seeking through
the Navy Department. to obtain a dupIt-
cate of letter of commentator, which a
ships mascot made way with.
After eight years Of honorable service In
the navy Connolly resigned and In the
effort to perfect evidences of his good
record he wrote to the Department, ex-
planning that he received letter for gal
liant conduct from the Secretary of the
Navy in 1903. while serving on the San
Francisco.
II regret to say the letter was eaten by
our ships pet. the goat mascot, shortly
after the report of the same, and no steps
were taken toward securing a copy" the
letter states. my relatives are anxious
for me to apply for certified copy and l
hope you can secure this for me-"
The acting secretary promptly complied
with the request, and sent copy of the
original letter. which officially commended
Connolly for leaping overheard and assist
ing to save the life of Lieut.. Tarbox, who
had fallen from the cruiser San Francisco

THE IRON TRADE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. May 1o.-The Iron
Trade Review today says: The labor sit
uation has exerted a considerable infiu-
ence on the iron and steel markets of the
past week. While the longshoremen's
strike, which has tied up lake shipping
and threatens an ore famine IL continued
past June 1. Is apparently on its last legs,
the iron market Is further complicated by
the general strike Of foundrymen who are
uniting demands for higher wages and
for shorter hours. Founders are preparing
to resist and viii wage a general fight
for the open shop. refusing to recognize
the union by signing working agreements.
The settlement OF the anthracite strike
will bring relief to furnaces in that dis
trict and has already eased the coke stu
alton. Chicago has felt the strike infiu-
ence In its iron market most koenly, and
buyers there and in the ". Louis dis
trict are hesitatfng. Prices In Ohio have
become established on lower basis and
small sales are numerous the aggregate
tonnage being heavy. Bessemer and basic
are both strong, and southern iron prices
are unchanged
Rail buying continues at q heavy rate,
the Pennsylvania requirements for next
year being announced at H0.gS0 tons. This
Is to be distributed Immediately, and other
larger orders are pending Car builders
report important inquiries and plate bnsi-
ness Is accordingly brisk. About 1000 tons
OF merchant pipe have been shipped to
San Francisco since April 1.
