CULBERSON FAVORS
PRESIDENTS ACTION
TEXAS SENATOR HAS SOME ADDI-
T1ONAL TESTIMONY IN BROWNS
VILE MATTER WHICH HE WILL
PRESENT If NECESSARY.

Washington, December 26.-(Special.)-
the action of the President in the Browns
vile case He made statement tonight
which effectually disposed of all doubt
as to his position In the premises. 1T
is my opinion" he said, that the Pres
ident was authorized by law to discharge
the negro troops without honor, as he
did. and that, moreover, he was wholly
justified by the facts.
80 far as the matter of further in
vestigation is concerned continued the
senator, lit should be understood that
the people of Brownsville are not only
willing to have the incident thoroughly
probed but have been demanding that
1t be looked into by the federal author
tiles ever since the night of the riot.
There should be no misunderstanding on
that score"
While Senator CuIberson did not outline
his plans for the future 1t is understood
that he may have something to say on
the floor of the Senate. when Senator
Foraker calls up his investigation resolu-
tion after the holidays. 1t is known that
he has a considerable amount of testi-
money, which is in addition to that In
the hands of the President. and the war
department. Should Senator Foraker make
any assertion that will call for ,the pro-
duction of that testimony, it is reasonable
TO assume that the Texan will bring II
forward. Secretary Taft has been apprised
of this additional testimony, or a part OF
1t. hut it has not been filed at the war
department.

Crowded With Negroes.

Scooba, Miss, December 26.--An Asso-
ciated Press representative who arrived
In Scooha tonight about darf fodnd the
streets crowded with negroes, who had
gathered from miles around. They were
highly excited. but there was nothing
threatening in their demeanor.
According to their statements, most of
them had gathered through fear that vio-
lenee would be done them if they re-
mained In the surrounding districts, and
fear alone had driven them into the
town..
With companies of militia partolling the
streets there seemed to be little apprehen-
sion among the whites or blacks of any
trouble at least in town, during the
night Most of the white people in Scooba
are giving the troops their heartiest CO.
operatio in efforts to restore tranquility.
Among these whites the opinion is freely
expressed that the entire trouble was
uncalled for, and could have been avoided.
The difficulty which aroused both races
in this vicinity occurred three miles north
east of here yesterday and last night,
Accurate information upon this trouble
is not yet available here, but 1t is known
that at least five negroes lost their lives
as a result of it. There are also reports
that several other negroes We're killed,
but these reports lack confirmation.
About dark a detail of men who had
spent the day in the surrounding coun-
try under the leadership of Deputy Sher-
iff Alexander, investigating the reports.

had learned no new facts.

territory, and that the troops and civil
authorities are in complete control of the
situation.
According to the most reliable reports,

searching for the negro who attacked
Conductor Cooper aboard a Mobile and
Ohio train last Sunday. and shot and
killed Constable O'Brien of Wahalak,
killed three negroes and wounded several
others.

GREAT ACTIVITY IN
FURNACE AND MILL
Usual SIackening of Operations
for Holidays Not Noticeable
SOUTHERN PIG ADVANCING
Eastern Mills Becoming Alarmed Over
Ore Contracts-Some Sold Up to
Their Full Capacity Through
the Third Quarter.

Cleveland o., December 26-The Iron
Trade Review tomorrow will say:
The closing of the year which has been
one of most wonderful prosperity, is
marked by great activity in all of the
furnaces and mills. The slackening of
operations usually characteristic of the
holiday season. is not noticeable this year,
except when insisted upon by employees
or when made absolutely necessary for
repairing purposes. A few mills are closed
but the rule is to operate to the full
extent.
Not a few eastern and Virginia fur
naces which were slow in making their
contracts for ore, are becoming alarmed
for fear that they will not be able to
operate continuously during the coming
year. which promises to be an exceed
ingly busy one. There is much more
inquiry in all parts of the country for
iron for future delivery, and indications
are that there VIII be a heavy buying
movement early in the new year
Eastern furnaces have sold heavily with
in a few days, and some now announce
that they are sold up to their full ca
pacity through the third quarter of 1907
There have been further large sales of
basic in the eastern territory for the last
half of 1907, bringing the total of the
past two weeks up to fully 100000 tons.
Southern pig iron is still advancing in
price, and premiums could be easily OBJ
tained for prompt delivery. but railroad
conditions continue unfavorable.
The recent efforts of representatives
of structural mills to add to their book
contracts. are shown in an considerable
increase in business, and specifications
on contracts are heavy. Plate mills are
so crowded that few of them can ac-
cept orders for delivery short of three
months. The principle producer of sheets
and tin plate is far behind on its de-
liveries Advances In quotations on these
products are likely to come at any time.
An advance on both merchant pipe and
boiler tubes is announced.

ORANGE TO LOcoMoTloN IN
THE UNITED KINGDOM.

London, December 26.-Christmas of 1906
will be memorable for the heaviest snow
storms the United Kingdom has expert
enced in many years. In the northern
countries of England, in Scotland, the
snow was accompanied by great gales.
There was an average fall of four to six
inches, which drifted badly and worked
serious hindrance to locomotion of all
kinds, and inconvenience to holiday
makers.
In the London district firence blizzard
is raging and the indications are that
the severe weather will continue.
There were many small wrecks along
the coasts, but no serious loss off life

struck a rock and sank off Cloughey.
The boatmen succeeded in rescuing the
crew after an exciting experience. An
other life boat made a similar rescue OF

Buying for Second Half.

New York, December 26--The Iron Age
tomorrow will say:
Buying for the second half of 1907 on
the part of consumers of pig iron has
developed an increasing volume In the
eastern markets, and is becoming a fea-
ture, too, In the central west. In the
east 1t has been taken up by nearly all
classes of meters. and appears to be
confined largely to the covering of work
already In hand.
Conspicuous among the purchasers are
again the open hearth steel producers
One tidewater plant has taken an ag-
gregate of 81 900 tons OF basic pig, nearly
all for the second half, at price ranging
from s22 to s23 % at furnace. 1t is under
stood further business is pending. Another
works in New York state has taken about
1900 tons. partly for summer delivery
and partly for the second half at even
better prices.
Locomotive works have purchased an ag-
gregate of about 2o,Do0 tons, also for this
second half.

of confidence in the future
An event of more than passing in

struction will make special rails of open

Just sold 225O0 tons to the Oregon and
Washington road of the Hartman system
for delivery after the middle of the year
After a series of advances the makers
of pipe, finally, last week, restored the
level of prices which-ruled in April 1865
This last advance amounts to 81 per ton
on merchant pipe, s4 per ton ON boiler
tubes and like amount Of oil country
goods. The demand for bars continues
heavy from all sources.
In sheet and tin plate an advance is be-
Heved imminent. In the wire trade the
question of being able to accumulate some
stock for spring requirements Is troubling
the mills. in view of the steady demand
for prompt shipments.
The problem really Is whether the trade
has changed, and is not so much subject
to a spring rash as in the past.

ridian. where he will have a special train
waiting to carry the governor and militia

ALL MUST STAND TEST.
Candidates for Naval Academy Must
Take Some Examinations.

Washington. December 26.-(Special.)-
The secretary OF the navy has decided to
discontinue the order by which candidates
for admission to the naval academy may
be accepted through the certificates of
some school or college which they have
attended and hereafter all who are ad-
mitted to the naval academy must pass
the same examination.
The main objection to the system fol-
lowed during the past three years is the
difficulty of determining just what
schools or universities should be regarded
as entitled to give certificate which
could serve the same purpose az an en-
trance examination.
