and put up big fight for the drainage
canal scheme.
1t was principally because of the
fight made for the Chicago drainage
canal and the Pittsburg locks and
dams, where millions of money was
sought for these respective localities,
that Congressman Burton introduced
his measure for establishing an inland
waterways commission, whose duties
should be the examination, considera-
ton and report to congress on all pro
jects of the kind.
The preparations for the Washing

resentatives of Nicaragua. Salvador

are to meet to draw up the terms OF
permanent peace, are progressing
satisfactorily. altho little can be made
public regarding them, at this stage
1t is now expected that the diplomats
will meet in Washington early in the
winter. and that, with the assistance
of their resident Washington minis

interest and advice of the president
provide for the arbitration of all
questions which cannot be settled by
the usual diplomatic exchanges.

termination of Representative Burton

Owensboro. Ky, November 9.--Several thousand tobacco growers assembled in owensboro today, and on account of the bitter feeling among the different fac tions Mayor O'Brien ordered out the day and night police force ln the court house yard, but there was no trouble.

MRS. BRADLEY WAITS

Washington, November 9.--(Special.)- Mrs. Anna M. Bradley, who killed Fix Senator Arthur M. Brown of Utah in the Raleigh hotel last November, will be placed on trial for her life in the crim- inal court Monday morning.
 Mrs. Bradley has been in Jail nearly a year awaiting trial, and while she freely admits the crime, yet she asserts she has ample justification for it, and will pre- sent emotional insanity as her chief line of defense.
 Justice Stafford will be the trial judge, and 1t Is said her jury is to be picked with great care, only married men being acceptable to the defense, it is under stood. The two sons of Mrs Bradley by Senator Brown will be in the court room during the trial, although it is very un- likely the boys will be placed on the stand
 On the eve of the trial Mrs. Bradley is ready and nerved for her great ordeal.
 She expresses great confidence in the outcome, and chats with the boys about a trip to the Jamestown exposition they are to take if the verdict is favorable to her.

IRON TRADE REPORTS
 ARE ENCOURAGING
HEAVY PRODUCTION REPORTED FROM BIG PLANTS, WHILE REC oRDs ARE BROKEN BY SOME OF THEM.

Cleveland, O., November 9.-Reports from the industrial iron trade reveal some remarkable conditions. Although for number of weeks new business has been reduced to very small volume, statistics of production for the past month show that seldom in the history of trade have such large tonnages been turned out For example, the American Bridge company the largest producer of struc- tural material, turned out 6o.ooo tons last month, but sold only one-third of that amount.
 The plants of the United States Steel corporation at Chicago and Pittsburs made surprising records. The Carnegie Steel company, for example. broke all of the records of the various plants. The Illinois Steel company not only broke all it's previous records but did so in every individual department in all three works at Chicago and Joliet. Even more sur- prising than all of these was the blast furnace production for OctoberJ which, according to the statistics of the Iron Trade Review, reached a new high point in the history of trade, the production being 2352,5 ,530 tons, compared with the largest previous output, 2,291 ,O30 tons in May of this year. In other words the production for October was at the rate of about 2S, ,O0o. 900 tons year. The sta tistics for November will doubtless tell a different story
 Many sheet and tin plate mills have been closed and the sheet bar mills Of the Steel corporation at Columbus and Belaire are idle. The corporation now has 21 blast furnaces out of commission and independent concerns are curtailing their production. Hence it may be con- hdently expected that the output of both pig iron and finished materials will be much smaller this month than for any month of the year.

 Let the railroad stop it's suit and the state stop its suit and then let the rail road give the rate a fair test of six or eight months and if at the end of eight months the railroads ascertain that the rate was not injurious or confiscatory, the law is to be continued, but that, if 1t is found to be greatly injurious or con- fiscatory an agreement to be closed to change the rate, and for this purpose the legislature to be called in extra session to the end that no injustice may be done They law as passed should be obeyed until fully tested.
