The stadium in which the Olympic

pense of Georges Averoff, rich Greek.
The Enclosure seats $4,000 people, and
is said to be the largest athletic struc-
ture in the world. 1t is vast amphi-
theatre of a U shape, built into THE
side of a hill, and on the site of sim

white marble structure, which was
destroyed during the dark ages.

TO RUN PIPE LINE
 ACROSS ISTHMUS
SECRETARY TAFT REcoMM ENDS ISSUING REVOCABLE LICENSE TO THE UNION OIL co.-To BE COMPLETED BY AUGUST 10.

Washington, January 10.-Secretary Taft has recommended to the President that he sanction the issue of a revocable license to the Union oil company of California, to construct and maintain a pipe line across the canal zone. There were six applicants for such right, but the company named is the only one which specified the price of oil if used by the government and whose offer was other wise sufficiently definite and reasonable.
 It is, however expressly provided that the license shall not be exclusive so that other companies may compete for the business. For It's part the company under takes to pay S500 per month, to be ap- piled to school purposes in the canal zone, and also to permit the government to draw upon it's pipe line at any point for oil at 90 cents Der barrel. Secretary Taft in his letter to the President, ex- plains that this is about equivalent for fuel purposes to Pocohontas coal at the present cost on the isthmus of $4 per ton. so that the oil may be used for all purposes If desired in the construction of the canal As only refined oil Is at present carried over the Panama railroad, the Secretary does not consider that the proposition of carrying oil by pipe would iniure the business of the railroad The company undertakes to complete the line by August 10 next, and to build in Amer ican shipyards suitable tanks to supply in addition to it's present large fleet, the necessary means of conveying the oil to the pipe.

HEPBURN RATE BILL
 MILL BE SUBMITTED
SLIGHT NOTIFICATIONS MADE so < AS TO CONFORM TO MIR. TOWN
 SENDS IDEAS AND TO GET HIS
 SUPPORT ON MEASURE.

Washington, January 1o-rhe republi- cans of the House committee on inter state and foreign commerce at con- ference which lasted three hours this evening, agreed to support the Hepburn railroad rate bill with a few modif- cations which were agreed on, and which relate chiefly to court procedure
 These notifications were taken from the provisions of the Esch-Townsend bill and are in the nature of compromise with the supporters of that measure. The committee will report the bill to the House next Friday. Representative Town send of Michigan, author of the Townsend bill, which was consolidated with the Esch bill, and passed at the last session, it is announced, will make the opening speech in the House in favor of the Hepburn bill. It is planned to bring in a rule on the Hepburn bill when it is con- sidered so as to prevent amendments except on the first day of debate.
 The democrats, however, are to be permitted to offer a substitute on which they can go on record.
 This course, it is pointed out, is the same as was followed with the Esch- Townsend bill, when the democrats sub mitted the Davey bill. The republican members of the committee expressed the opinion that the debate in the House. probably, will not continue over week.

IRON MARKET IS
 STILL VERY STRONG
Big Improvements Planned by
 Steel Corporation
LARGE OUTPUT DURING 1905
Bar Iron and Scrap Are Little Weak and These Offer Only Excep- tions to the Markets
 Strength.

Cleveland, Ohio, January 10-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The principal features of the week have been the advances of prices of a number of finished products and the announce ment that the United States Steel corpo- ration will make extensive additions to plants. With the exception of slight weakness in bar iron and scrap the mar ket continues extremely strong.
 The blast furnace production of the United States Steel corporation for 1905 was approximately 10175.5OO tons of pig iron, the production of ingots was 11,995, OOO The best previous record was in 1902, when 7,975,0OO tons of pig iron and s,745,OoO tons of ingots were produced.
 The improvements decided upon include extensive new construction and the re- modelling of a number of plants. This will increase the furnace capacity by one million tons, the ingot capacity by 540,00C tons, and the finished medal capacity by S65, 900 tons.
 The principal items of the improvements are the erection of two new blast fur naces at the Carrie plant, and of ten 0Ne-IDI OPtu ncdIln luIndCtS at I1Olnt- stead where the structural mill will also be remodeled and it's productions largely increased. At Duquesne bar mill for rounds up to six inches will be erected
 Isabella furnace No 2, which has been idle since the formation of the corpora ton, will be placed in blast.
 At South Chicago the corporation will erect new 30-inch universal plate mil and new light rail mill.
 Another blast furnace is to be added to the Joliet plant. At the Worcester plant of the American Steel and Wire company large additions are planned for the manufacture of insuiated wire anc cable The Pennsylvania plant of the Ma. tional Tube works at McKeesport will bt remodelled so as to increase the capacity and large additions will be made at tn, Pencoyd plant where the structural mil will be remodelled

Blaming the Democrats.

Quite the most amusing feature of the present troubles of the House republicans
 Is the claim put forward by the beet sugar
 republicans that they could defeat the
 Philippine bill If the democrats would
 stand by them. 1t seems that the beet
 sugar faction really believed that in re-
 turn for humiliating the House organiza- ton, the democrats could be persuaded
 into changing their position in favor of
 free trade with the Philippines Naturally
 the democratic leaders, wbo ar@in favor
 of the democratic bill put foFward by the House organization, could ltsQt see it in that light and are consequently solved to vote for the committee bill. They would of course. like to get a vote
 on free trade with the islands and may do
 so, but nothing was further from their thoughts than creating,a legislative situa-
 tion which would result in the bllrs de-
 feat. About dozen House deinocrats will vote against the bill They are from Louisiana Texas and Florida. It al- ready becomes evident that the minority of the Senate will not be united as 1t Is In the House Senator Bailey of Texas Is said to be preparing a speech against the bill and may also have his colleague Senator Culberson. as well as
 the Louisiana Senators behind his posi- tion The beet sugar republican Senators will also take considerable time In dis cussing the measure and the bill promises to be hung up in the Senate for a long while

Bidding for Canal Business.

Chairman Shonts of the canal commis- sion announced today that hereafter pur- chases of eommissary supplies in the open market for emergency use were to be half the time at New Orleans and half the time at New York. Orders will be placed In New Orleans one week and in New York the next Mr Shonts said this will give the commission chance to see where it can buy supplies cheapest. All such sup piles are to be delivered to the commis- son's agents at Colon.
 These supplies cost the commission about q million dollars a year, or approx imately Sl00000 a month. Should it turn out that the supplies can be bought more eheaply in the southern city, which has often been declared to be the case later the commission may buy all its supplies there. An important feature Is of course the question of transportation to Colon, and efforts are now being made to induce the water transportation companies to make good rates.
 Chairman Shonts said today that Vice President Barahan of the Illinois Central told him not long ago that the Illinois Central was anxious to aid in the pro- eurement of canal business for the whole Mississippi valley and to that end was contemplating the erection of a shipping terminal at South Port or Harahan fif- teen miles above New orleans, outside tho quarantine zone.
 IL Is understood that the Illinois Gen. tral Is willing to spend S2O0.00O on such a terminal
