Ensiey March Especially con-
verting department of the steel works
division of the Tennessee company, has
broken all previous records twice during
this week, both as to tae number of pots
of metal blown and the amount of tom
mage of metal,
In view of the fact that no extensive
improvement has been made in this de-
partment to bring abou; this increased
tonnage it is very evident that the men
are putting forth their best efforts, under
the able direction of the superintendent,
L. II. Edwards, to put the metal to the
open hearth department at the time that
they need it, as it is important that the
open hearth get the blown metal at regu-
lar intervals, otherwise it would retard
them in getting out the steel into ingots,
in which event the rolling departments
would be handicapped. So 1t can be
readily seen that the converting mill
plays a most important part in the manu-
facture of this very important product,
The records were made both times on
the night turn, of which Dean Curry is
foreman, with L. p. Edmundson as
blower, but the week as whole, both
day and night turn, has sheen most
creditable one.
Superintendent Edwards was very for
tunate in acquiring the services of Mr..
Brush, who has charge of the mill on
the day turn, as he is known to be man
of exceptional ability, having been asso-
ciated with Mr.. Edwards for number
of years In the Bessemer mills in the
north. When the converting mill that is
being installed is completed the output of
the entire plant will be doubled and many
features connected with the present mill,
which are no wa handicap, will be elm

driving them from the vicinity. The
losses of the Nicaraguan forces were
numerous. for in their fight they pre-
scented a disorganized mass, which made
a good target for the Honduras troops.
THE Honduran attacking column was
small, advancing under command of Col.
Leeeada Lardizabel in the face of an ar
tillery fire.
RIFLES, ammunition and stores were
captured in considerable quantities. So

The social revoutionists and the group

as to whether the measure was to ap-
ply to railroads doing interstate COM
merce or only to trains doing inter-
state commerce. The reply was that II
applied to common carriers engaged IN
Interstate commerce. This, Mr.. Bacon
asserted, was tremendous stride IN
the direction of the usurpaticn OF fed
eral control over the business aTairs
of the country.
The bill was then laid aside for fu-
ture consideration.
1t Isl now said at the capitol that
three important bills, each representing
a distinct administration policy, are
practically dead for this session OF con-
gress. 1t is limited in each case that
behind the killing of the bills there is
to be traced personal antaGonism to
President Roosevelt and a desire to be-
little or injure his administration. This
is only Indirectly true.
The subsidy bill, immigration bill and
the Philippine tariff bill are all mori-
bund, chiefly, If not entirely, because
each of them contains certain provis-
ions of radical character which have
aroused the enmity Of powerful inter-
ests in various parts OF the country.
