AGUINALDO GREETS TAFT.
For First Time Since Capture Appears
in Public.

Manila, Nov IA feature of the
visit of Secretary of War Taft to Man
lila was the presence of Aguinaldo at
several of the functions for the first
time since his capture. Discussing the
probable results of the visit of Mr..
Taft to Manila with a representative
Of the Associated Press, he said:
ut is my belief that the benefits to
follow the visit, to the people of the
Philippines, will be greater than they
can recognize at the present time.
am at present unable to form an opin-
ion, off-hand, of the possible future
advantages, but I am confident that it
has done good. The Inauguration of
the assembly has gone a long way to
cement the friendship Of the people
with the people of the United States.
"As the fulfilment of a solemn prom
Use, which many expected would not
be fulfilled, the secretary of war did
not bring independence for many peo-
pie in his pocket, but he brought the
means of attaining it. He told us how
we can get it. The Filipinos are
thankful for the information and
pleased at what the assembly has
done, and especially in the interests
of legislation, education and agricul-
ture."

More members of the police department
of Birmingham possess fountain pens
than in any other department of the
United States, probably
This is due to the fact that a fountain
pen was judged necessary possession
by policemen of the city of Birmingham,
nasmuch as all bonds hereafter must be
signed in ink.
Immediately after the issuing of this
order. numerous applications on the part
of policemen for fountain pens were made
to the Mayor. and were honored. In this
way, the department is well equipped.
The administration is determined that
there shall be cessation of the accept
ance of worthless bonds. This is especial
~ true as concerns men arrested on a
charge of gambling. Hereafter a bond

order to that effect yesterday. The sign

count Of the fact that the present press
box is difficult of access. that the scorers
are the last to leave the park, when in
fact they should be first. that the heat
was oppressive, and that the scorers were
frequently interrupted by the players and
spectators.
There is no doubt, however, that some
thing should be done. Give the scorers
an elevated press box, if nothing else.
Let 1t be where the players and the spec
tators will be removed, and where at no
time. passerby can cut off the view OF
the game The argument is made that
no scorer in Birmingham has ever seen
a Fourth of July contest. Invariably the
scorer of these games dots down the
figures that some kindly onlooker takes
time TO dictate. This should not be.

HART DEFEATS ROGERS.
Indiana Miner Lasts Only Two Rounds
at Hot Springs.

Hot Springs Ark, March 15.-Maryin
Hart of Louisville tonight easily disposed
of Harry Rogers, the Indiana miner, in
two rounds of what was TO have been a
twenty-round fight. Rogers displayed
scarcely any ability as a boxer. For Hart
the fight was perhaps the easiest one he
has ever won in his ring career. Rogers
did not deliver single blow of conse-
duence while in the short time the fight
lasted Hart sent his man TO the mat seven
times He was aggressor throughout. and
it was plainly evident to the crowd after
a minutes hard lighting that he had Rog-
ers at his mercy.
Blows to the neck and stomach put
Rogers out.
Ben S. Donnelly of Chicago refereed the
fight The main bout was preceded by a
six-round preliminary between Young
Hermann of Chicago and Paddy Andrews
of Philadelphia 1t was the fastest and
bloodiest fight ever seen here. and ended
in a draw.

Pig IRON MARKET
STILL VERY STRONG
SCARCITY OF SPOT AND PRESS
URE FOR DELIVERIES DUE ON
CONTRACTS ARE FEATURES OF
THE WEEK.

The Birmingham iron market continues
strong at quotations ruling for weeks
past-$1S. 50 to SI9-on a No. basis for
last half delivery.
Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report
for the current week says:
An increasing scarcity of spot iron, no
improvement in railroad conditions and
continued pressure on the part of buy
ers for deliveries due ON contracts AMI
search for iron for early delivery, are
local features during the week Business
has been good and inquiry is strong.
Sales made are for the most part, for
third quarter and last half delivery, and
already southern furnaces are in a very
secure position for the first nine months
of this year. Northern furnaces are fast
becoming equally strong on account OIL
well filled order books and conditions
generally, are without criticism. Several
large buyers have been feeling the mar
ket.
Contracts on the books of manufacture
| ing concerns and the leading ones in
specitl lines particularly, are greater than
ever before, in some cases amounting
to a tonnage sufficient to keep the plants
running full time for two years.
Business in finished steel products is
only being taken care of when offers
backed up by unusual pressure and ton
mage is turned down daily on account of
inability of plants to add to their present
fully taxed capacity.
Railroads in different parts of the coun-
try are advancing or contemplating ad-
vancing rates on various raw material
which enters into the manufacture of pig
iron and this will naturally increase the
now already high cost. For Pennsylvania
and New Jersey furnaces. the increased
rate ON Lake Superior ore from the lake
ports will add materially to the manu-
featured expense.
Recent sales of Bessmer iron in Pitts
burg territory to consumers who are also
manufacturers of this grade, indicate that
even their own output is insufficient to
take care of the growing demands made
upon them. This is the first purchase
made by them in some time and is sig
nificant.
Distributors of bear talk in regard to
steel market particularly, received a
heavy blow in the recovery of United
States Steel stock in the markets early
in the week. In almost any stock issue.
the recovery would have been that large
but when it is considered in connection
