EQUIPMENT NOW
ALMOST COMPLETE
Present Estimates are About the Last
that VIII be Made for Actual
Canal Material.

Washington. August 9.-Estmates for
canal appropriations for 1907 are now
in course of preparation at the office of
the isthmian canal commission. From
present Indications these estimates will
be about the last to be made for what is
known as the canal plant.
1t Is believed that all of the locomo-
tives, fiat cars. dredges, steam shovels
and other equipment of an expensive
character will have been assembled on
the isthmus by the end or 1907 that will
be needed for the entire period of canal
construction. 1t does not follow, how
ever, that Congress will be asked to ap-
propriate any less sum of money an
nualiy than has been NEEDED in the past.
1t is said at the commission that about
$25, 600, 900 can be expended each year judi
ciously, but that with the continuously
enlargng plant, a greater proportion Of
this money will be issued In the employ
ment of laborers, resulting in a much bet
ter showing in actual canal digging.

New York, August 29.-The Iron Age
will say tomorrow:
Present scarcity dominates the pig iron
market and the possibilities of production

Consumers OF foundry iron in particular,
who find difficulty In meeting early wants,
are pre-empting furnace output In the
early months of 1907 Only "A good be-
ginning has been made In buying for
next year, and naturally the larger foun-
dry interests lead the movement. On the
advancing prices further business was
placed in the past week. Sellers seem
less eager than buyers to reverse the
practice of many months of making short
intervals between sales and final de-
uveries.
Pig iron prices have advanced from soc
to 81 a ton, and variations in selling prices
grow more noticeable. On southern iron
prices for 1907 delivery range from $1a. 90
to SIG. Birmingham, for NO. iron the
discrepancy coming in part from the
practice of making delivered prices
which meet district competition. The
largest sales of the week. chilly northern
irons, were 5000 tons to the Westinghouse
interests and 10000 tons to the New York
Airbrake company. In steel making pig
iron since large buyers are chihy con-

shortage be a shortage, the market mas

YOUNG LADY COMES
WITH 2S CHILDREN
RUSSIAN JEWISH ORPHANS ARE
BROUGHT TO AMERICA WHERE
HOMES HAVE BEEN SECURED
FOR ALL OF THEM.

Washington, August 29.-"Land Sarah
Perlman, aged "a, and twenty-eight chill
dren."
This was the text of a laconic telegram
which was sent last evening by Acting
Secretary Lawrence o. Murray of the de-
partment of commerce and labor to the
acting immigration officer at New York.
On the face ,of it the telegram was pecu-
liar, especially at Sarah Perlman has the
prefix Miss" attached to her name.
The dispatch had reference to twenty
eight Jewish children who have been
brought to this country from Russia to
be given homes by the United Hebrew
societies. Their parents in each case had
been killed in the massacre of Jews at
Kichnef. They were unable to support
themselves In Russia and the Jews of
Russia made an appeal to the Jews of the
world to care for the orphans. The United
Hebrew societies of New York agreed to
take care of one hundred of the orphans,
provided that they could be landed in this
country under the immigration laws.
Several days ago Miss Sarah Perlman
arrived at Ellis Island in charge of thirty
of the children ranging in age from 10
20 years. Under the law the board of in
uuiry was obliged to recommend their
deportation as paupers. The case was
brought to the attention of the immigra-
tion authorities in Washington on an ap-
peal. It was shown that every one of the
children had been guaranteed good home
and solicitious care and assurance was
given that none of them would become a
public charity.
ON the statements made the children
were admitted to the country Advices
were received at the immigration bureau
here today that the orphans were landed
last, night and that after supper at the
Ellis Island immigration station each one
was presented with an American flag and
turned over to the care takers.
