Lundy IsIand,s "Kinu.u y

London, Lee. 19.-@The coronation OF
the Rev. Arthur wellesley Batson, a
descendant of the Duke Of Bucking-
ham, as king of Lundy Island, is
taking place today, and is sure to
cause the government some trouble
Lundy is an island in the Bristol chan
mel, the home of Britain's ancient pir-
ates and shipwreckers, and has been
the cause of more wrecks than even
the famous Goodwin sands. The is
land was recently offered for sale as
an asset of the bankrupt Marquis of
sAnglesy and was purchased by Mr..
Batson. A clause in the conditions OF
sale specified that the island with it's
appurtenances and sovereign rights"
would become the property of the pur-
chaser, consequently Mr.. Batson has
declared himself king and is celebrat-
ing his coronation on the wild ocean
bound island today. He is accom-
panied by Mrs. Batson, whom the wild
islanders already call queen.

Suffered.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 19-Fire today
caused heavy damages in the block
bounded by fremont, Bromfield, WASH
ington and Winter streets. and al
though the flames were confined prac-
tically to one structure the Studio
building in fremont street, it for a
time threatened to cause much great
er destruction. Fire broke out on the
lower floor of the building in the Pea
body furniture establishment and
quickly swept up through six floors OF
the first section of the Studio building
The roof fell and the fire jumped across
the narrow alley to the roof of the
Orpheum theatre, formerly Bostons
famous music hall, and to the TOP of
the building occupied by the Tablet
Co., clothiers, in Washington street
The flames did considerable damage to
both structures.

The steel Trade.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 19.-Rarely, if
ever, in the history of modern indus-
try, has been witnessed such an extra
ordinary condition as confronts the
steel industry in the United States.
Already the rail mills are crowded
with orders to such an extent that
their total output to the end of next
year viii barely serve to meet the
present demand, and the mills which
are devoted to the production of struc-
tural steel are overloaded with work,
and must be pushed to the very ut
most to fill orders that are due to be
delivered before the spring of 1907.
Even more acute conditions prevail at
the plate mills, the demands for whose
output is to be attributed very largely
to the growing popularity Of steel cars.
These mills have sufficient orders on
the books to keep them going at full
pressure, practically for the whole Of
next year. The situation is unpre-
cedented in the United States steel i'm
dustry.

for she had been lying in that position
for a week. There were evidences of
a terrible struggle for life.

johnson said:
1--WE are informed that o. c. Major
has stated before the Valley City meet
ing of independent shippers, that we
are prohibiting him and his friends
from exploiting the independent eleva-
tor interests before the Tri- State Grain
and Stock Growers convention to be
held here next month. The object of
the Tri- State Grain and Stock Grow
ers was not to exploit any thing, but
Farming in it's various branches, and
last January as well as in January,
1905, Mr.. Major and his friends were
given an opportunity to be heard
For the coming convention, we have
speakers engaged that will take up
every moment of our time, or the time
We can have the operahouse. Two out
of the four evenings we cannot have
it, we have suggested to Mr.. Macfad-
dent elevators to us, that it would be
much better for their interests if they
would secure a hall and hold a meet
ing on one of the evenings that the
grain growers will not be in session,
the same as the butter makers and
some other associations do. The only
possible difference to them would be
the rent of the hall, and, considering
the fact that they get one fare rates
to attend the meetings without any
effort on their part in securing the rate.
it seems to us that they can certainly
stand that, as it is simply business
proposition on their part. We want
to be fair with all; if we let one in
terest in there is no reason why we
should exclude others, and by so doing
more than half of the time of the con-
yention would be taken up and the very
object of the meetings be curtailed to
just that extent

this city there were fully seventy five
interested parties present as well as
thirty-two elevators represented The
discrimination in favor of the line ele-
vators as against the independents
was fully discussed. The shippers pres
ent arrived at the conclusion that they
have but one remedy, and that is state
and federal control. They will ask the
state legislature to pass a reciprocal
demurrage law and will also ask the
legislature to memorialize congress fo
federal control.

the control of the line shippers, and
that the farmers elevators were not al
lowed to take part in those gatherings
as an organization. Mr. Major describ-
ed the fights he had made to get q
