Mobile, September 27.-Wire connection over the Associated Press was restored at this city at a. m., and at that hour the wind Is forty-five miles an hour from the northwest, and with barometer of %. .26 and falling rapidly. Rain is falling are down in every direction, the fire alarm system and the police call system are in a hopeless tangle, and light and power wires are down in every direction. making the streets dangerous. There has been no great damage reported as yet but if the wind increases and the barometer contin- ues rapidly falling indicates that the wind velocity will go near sixty miles an hour before day, it is unlikely the city and dis trict Vtll escape without damage.
 The river remains stationary and there is no danger from that quarter as yet.

.STENSLAND BEGINS HIS TERM IN PRISON Convicted and Taken to Joliet
 Within Six Hours PRISONER GREATLY BROKEN Crowds at Station Made Him Fearful of Bodily vlolence-Was Greatly
 Affected All Through the
 Trying Day.
PRISONER GREATLY BROKEN

Chicago, September 26-Paul O. Stens- land to whose self-confessed embezzle- ment of $4O0,000 was due chiefly the col lapse of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, was given an indeterminate sen tence in the penitentiary within three hours after his arrival in Chicago today from the east, and before another three hours had elapsed he had begun service of the sentence at Joliet
 stensland pleaded guilty on two indict- ments on the charge of embezzlement, and the other violation of the state bank ing laws.
 A fine of s120 was imposed on the latter charge. which was based upon the ac- ceptance of s6O in deposits, after the bank was insolvent. The sentences, which will operate concurrently are from one to five and one to ten years, making the longest term the prisoner will be com pelled to serve ten years.
 stensland's arrival was awaited by sew era1 hundred persons who watched for the Twentieth Century limited, on which the prisoner and his captors were pas seneers. To reach the cabs which were to convey the party to the criminal court building it was necessary to walt Tor the police to clear passage to the street. The crowd was demonstrative, although offering no violence, and the effect upon stensland was noticeable. He seemed ap- prehensive of bodily harm.
 Hurried Into Private Office.
 At the criminal court building States Attorney Healey was waiting and the prisoner was hurried, haggard and tremb- ling between a double line of police into the private office. The doors were closed to outsiders and a conference lasting over an hour ensued. The corridors were crowded until an additional force of police and deputies was summoned and the onlookers were driven out.
 What Stensland made known to the states attorney was not divulged.
 After the conference Mir. Healy said: "Stensland made a full confession or everything connected with the affairs or the bank. He has told us of his own acts and of the acts of others. What he has revealed makes the bank affair less dark for himself"
 The court proceedings which followed were conducted hurriedly.
 Silence Falls Over Court. Silence fell over the courtroom as Stens- land faced the bar. His form was shaken with emotion and he kept handkerchief in his hand and frequently brushed away tbe tears that sprang to his eyes. Judge Kersten before whom the proceedings were conducted. addressed the prisoner whom he had known for many years as a citizen and business man. He reviewed the case briefly and asked if stensland had any defense to offer. Upon receiving a negative reply the court passed sentence. and without further ceremony Stensland, the deputy sherins and the states attorneys filed out or the court room Stensland was unaccompanied by friend or attorney during the entire procedure.
 Preparations for the journey to Joliet were begun forthwith.
 Stensland was joined by his daughter, Mrs. Inga sandberg as he left the court

P|G IRON MARKET GENERALLY QUIET Occasional Spells of Al |ity Noted in New York STEEL IS STILL SCARCE There Are In the Market Inquiries for Steel Rails Aesreaatins Between
 15o,ooo and 100000
 Tons.
STEEL IS STILL SCARCE

New York, September 26.-The Iron Age tomorrow will say:
 On the whole the pig iron markets throughout the country have been quiet with occasional spells of activity crop ping out locally. The latter feature grows out of the appearance of inquiries both for prompt and forward delivery Generally speaking quotations are about S1 higher for the former. Aside from some imports of low phosphorus pig of which another cargo of 5000 tons Is now on the ocean. There is nothing doing as yet in foreign iron for consumption on this sde It would not be surprising, however if some business of this character in foundry iron were arranged.
 From the west come reports of increas- ing scarcity of steel There are In the Chicago market now two inquiries of 1000 tons each of forging and axle billets while the Union Pacific railroad is in the market for 14,500 tons of billets to be rolled at the Laramie mill in Wyoming at the rate of 1500 to 2O0O tons month.
 Steel works in the Chicago district are unable to handle this business.
 The railroads continue to appear as
  Pennsylvania company has placed orders for 15,O00 steel cars. and the Vanderbll. lines for 21, 900 cars.
 There are in the market, too, inquiries for steel rails aggregating between 15O,000 and 100000 tons. It Is noted also that there is an inquiry for 22O0O tons of rails for Cuba. The target sale of rails dur ing the week has been a lot of 3S,000 tons for the Erie. The order for 5000 tons for Panama has been awarded.
 In the lighter lines 1t is the old story of enormous pressure to meet the de- mands
 In the wire industry there has been an advance of $1 per net ton all along the line.
 In the sheet trade a premium of $l per ton on the heavier gauges is growing more general. while in the tin plate trade a somewhat significant incident is that there have been small sales of foreign fin plates for domestic consumption for very prompt delivery. 1t being impossible to secure domestic plates.
 Washington, September 25.-(SpeciaI) J. The United States today paid to the steel trust s145.00O when 1t could have got zen off about $40.000 cheaper. The con- tract was awarded by the isthmian canal commission for 5000 tons of steel rails for use on the isthmus. The price paid was s29 a ton. In Mexico and Canada the same rails can be purchased at about s21 a ton.

Wires Down South of Montgomery.

Montgomery, September 26.-Specals 10 the Advertiser from Mobile received up to 10:30 D. m. when all communication failed, indicate that the center of the gulf coast storm was south of Mobile. with the w1nd shifting to north. and blowing thirty miles an hour.
 At D. m. the barometer took a sud- den drop. and at 10:30 o'clock 1t registered 2955 with fall in the mercury of 15 de- grees within an hour.

 During the afternoon there was a gen. eral exodus of small craft to creeks and bayous where safety is assured.

Cleveland, O., September 26.-(speciaL)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: The wonderful prosperity of their iron and steel industries is shown in d most impressive manner by the increasing difficulty of obtaining adequate supplies of semi i-finished material to meet the un- precedented requirement of the mills. Keen observers of tendencies in the trade foresaw this demand 10 some extent as evidenced by the building of the new Bes- senner plant at Youngstown. but the ad- dition of new capacity has furnished small relief and there are now numerous new projects on foot to increase the supply of crude steel

ALL SALOONS IN
 ATLANTA CLOSED fe Perfect Quiet Now Prevails in the City DIVES WILL NEVER REOPEN Public Sentiment Seems Strong for Detection and Punishment of Those
 Taking Part In the Re-
 cent Riots.
DIVES WILL NEVER REOPEN

Atlanta. September 26.-Perfect quiet prevailed throughout the city today. All the factories shut down have opened up, and thorough confidence has been re- stored on every side. The colored, as we'll as the white, employees have return- ed to their regular work, and normal conditions both industrially and commer- cially have been resumed.
 By a unanimous vote the city council has revoked the licenses of every saloon in Atlanta until October 1, and until that time the city is practically under prohibl- tion.
 VIII Investigate AL
 This action was taken on report from the police committee, which had been re- quested to investigate the saloons and ascertain what places could be classed as dives and unfit to engage in the liquor trade The committee. after striking out fifty-seven saloons. decided that such ar bitrary action might be unjust to many saloon men, and when conference was held with the citizens committee, it was decided to recommend to council the re- voking of all saloon licenses for the pur- pose of wedding out the dives.
 Military headquarters have been with drawn from the center of the city, out of-town companies have been sent home and the authorities state that they expect no more trouble, as the quiet of the pas. twenty-four hours is proof In plenty that no further outbreaks are being contem- plated by either whites or blacks.
 Rioters VIII Be Punished.
 That those who have been guilty of rioting during the past few days will be severely punished was indicated by the charge of Judge Pendleton to the grand jury.
 Public sentiment is strong for the de- lection of those responsible for the crimes committed, and many have already volun- teered to give evidence such as will bring about conviction of the guilty and so insure the future safety of Atlanta from the ravages of the race war.
 All of the dead and injured, for whom a public subscription has been started, are being cared for and the wounded, both black and white, are receiving every at tention while the subscription grows rapidly.

The party left the train at a station five minutes walk from the penitentiay entrance and before o'clock all the routine necessary to commit the convicted man to cell had been completed.

Outlying Portions Damaged.

Outlying portions of New Orleans were damaged by a sudden rise of four feet in Lake Pontchartrain, caused by the wind driving in the water from the gulf.

Platform Praises Roosevelt as
 the Greatest Ever
ROOSEVELT IS PLEASED
Hughes Accepts Without Pledge Other Than to Do Ills Duty, If Elected, According to Ills
 Conscience.

Saratoga, N. Y, September 26-Expedi- ton marked the second and final day of the republican state convention. From the time early this morning, when it was known that Charles E. Hughes of New York would be nominated for governor by exclamation, the other proceedings prae- tically became formal, and were pushed to completion with speed.
 The selection of the remainder of the ticket and the choice of a new state chairman, was accomplished before tho convention assembled, and 1t only re- mained for the convention to ratify all that had been arranged, to adjourn. The session lasted about two hours. and in that time the permanent organization was effected, the chairman. State Senator w W. Armstrong. of Rochester. delivered his speech; the credentials committee report ed, and its report was agreed to, the plat form vas read and adopted, and com plete state ticket nominated.
 The speech of the permanent chairman was largely a review of state conditions.
 Woodford Reads Platform.
 General Stewart L. Woodford, former United States minister to Spain, reported from the committee on resolutions, of which he was chairman. He read the plat form and emphasized the cardinal features of republicanism, and the features of It's party administration, both state and na- tional. Mention of President Roosevelt evoked applause. E
 Brevity was an appreciated feature of the nominating speeches, while the prin- cipal speech, in which Job Hedges of New York placed Charles E. Hughes In nomi- nation for governor, was the most inter- esting event.
 Representative Herbert Parsons made the ssNal proposing the rcnomnatis or Lieut. aa4t Governor v. Linn Brnce, whom he praised highly.
 Events leading up to the nominations involved innumerable conferences through out the night When the opposition to Hughes found it impossible or at least inadvisable to nominate Bruce and be- gan seeking elsewhere for candidate de- feat for the old time leaders, and vic tory for the new and almost unknown leaders followed swiftly.
 The understood preference Of President Roosevelt for Hughes, and the descrip- ton of Governor Higgins that he Was not opposing that preferred candidate con tributed materially to the result but all this would have been unavailing' had IL not been for the decided stand which MT. Parsons maintained from the time he ar rived in Saratoga, until the opposition crumbled.

Stormy MeStiOgis Held in Cuban
 Capital
AMERICANS ARE DENOUNCED
After Half an Hour of Fiery oratory. However, the Government Party Gives In and Offers to
 Treat With Rebes.

Havana. September 26-The government party today abandoned It's basic conten- ton that 1t Is impossible to treat for peace with armed rebels, and proposed to negotiate with a committee of It's on- ponents. It Is agreed to leave all disputed points to the final arbitration of Seere- taries Taft and Bacon.
 The government first suggested that it would treat with the liberals if they would lay down their arms, but the American commissioners ruled this stipulation un- fair. and the moderate representatives accepted thls view.
 Secretary Taft was greatly pleased and made the following statement for publi- cation:
 My impression Is that we are much nearer solution of the trouble tonight than we were last night"
 It was announced also that the nego- tiatons to be opened between the com mittees wonld be without reference to the terms previously proposed. The time and place for the first meeting Is to be deter mined by Secretary Taft tomorrow.
 It Is beyond question that both parties were brought to a more tractible frame of mind by the verbal ultimatum issued by Messrs. Taft and Bacon today, in the name of President Roosevelt, that unless they consented to 2 fair arbitration the United States would compel 1t with a temporary military occupation
 Means American Sovereignty.
 Such an occupation it WAS declared would not mean American sovereignty. It would continue only ratll new elee- uons had been held the new govern- ment formally established. and order re- established Within an hour after the receipt of this. the moderate assembly agreed at the end of stormy session to e suggestion pf. traatlng~wstlt rfys lib- erals. The conservative moderates threat ened the disruption of the party unless the rad5s.a.5 consert treat with the American comms nd this also is believed to have had an important bear ing upon the decision.
