Cartagena, Spain, Aug. Ga terri.
Die marine disaster occurred OF Cape

5paniards, we're drowned. The captain
Of the steamer committed suicide. The
remainder Of the passengers and the
officers and crew got away in the
ships boats or we're rescued by means
of boats sent to them from the shore.
Those rescued from the vessel are now
at Cape Palos in pitiable condition,
without food or clothing. The Sirio

additional Spanish passengers were
taken on board at Barcelona. where
the vessel touched a few hours before
the disaster.
The steamer was threading difl.

group. where the Bajos Hormigas reef
Is continual menace to navigation.
The vessel began to settle rapidly i'm.

A mother who lost her three children
went insane. The doctor of the Sirio

the catastrophe owing to the fact that
a number Of fisherman who were con.

The captain of the Sirio just before
he killed himself attributed the wreck
to his own imprudence.

A BRIGHT PROSPECT.
Leaders In the Iron Trade Speak with
Less Reserve Concerning 1907
Iron Age Sums Up Condition
Of Market.

New York.--The Iron Age says:
simultaneously with reports of
a further. access of strength in all
the pig iron markets of the country,
comes the statement of the United
States Steel Corporation, showing the
largest quarters earnings in its his
tory. Leaders in the trade now speak
with less reserve concerning early
1907, after having for some time lin
tied their predictions of good times
to 1906. The volume Of orders on the
steel corporations books on June 30
6,S09,5S9 tons. is the largest mid-year
total it has been able to report.
Pig iron has been the feature Of the
weeks market. In the east the buy
ing movement In basic iron that was
well under way a week ago carried
the total purchases of the fortnight
above 125,000 tons. some estimates
reaching 10000 tons. The remark
able fact about 1t is that consumers
provided for their needs for the bal.
ance of the year with an advance be-
tween the first and the last buying oi
but 20 cents.
Foundry iron markets are advanc.
ing. Southern irons are 25 cents to
80 cents higher. In the Buffalo dis
trict further advance Of so cents
was made and eastern Pennsylvania
makers have marked up their figures
Finished material markets show
unusual midsummer activity, distrib.
uted all along the line. At Chicago

LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Right to Labor and to Employ Labor
is Inherent and Cannot be Taken
Away Except on Ground Of
Public Good.

New York. The state law of
New York restricting the labor by
women and children to ten hours a
day and 60 hours a week in factory
was declared on Friday by Justice
Olmstead in the court of special ses-
sions to be "an unwarranted invasion
Of constitutional rights" The ruling
was concurred in by Justices Mexican
and Deuel.. Judge Olmstead declared
that the law was class legislation.
Justice Olmsted said, in part, In his
decisions ITO labor and employ labor
are Inherent aud inalienable rights OF
our citizens and cannot be taken away
In whole or in part unless upon the
broad ground OF public good, which
must be apparent, and cannot be
predicated upon legislative dictum.
"In the case under consideration
the right Of the employed and the
right Of the employer are equally In
volved. Nothing to the contrary ap
pearing, II must be assumed that the
woman was willing worker for q
willing employer and that the result
was mutually satisfactory and profit
able. -. .--.----~.
THE present constitution Of the
state Of New York was adopted in
1894 All Of the rights which adult
women possessed at that time were
confirmed by that document. One Of
those rights certainly was the right to
contract for her labor and to work
when and where she pleased. II was
not until four years after that the law
making power sought to place the
limitation under consideration upon
them.
What was the legislative intent In
doing this? The attorney general
finds and urges no other reason than
that the general welfare Of the state
demands that the progeny of women
OF the factories shall have mothers
with healthy bodies to the end that
the state may have sturdy citizens.
Does the state look merely to the chill
dren Of the factory women for its fu-
ture good citizens? Why should the
housewife, the woman who tolls at
home. In mercantile house, In Offices
or she who tolls not at all be exempt
from legislative interference, injunc
tive or mandatory, for the same rea.

zenship Is the only excuse for the as.

bearing woman, considerable class?"

he will appeal from the decision of
