IRON AGE REVIEW.

New York. Jan. 2.--rhe Iron Age tomor- row will say:
 The conviction is general throughout the iron industry that the present tremendous rate of consumption wiu continue during the first half of the current year. coupled with prevailing generally profitable prices
 There are many, who acting on the belief that work for full capacity at present or even better prices is assured Tor the whole Of the year 1907. They point to the order books which on the surface look very favor able indeed but which might be turned to q ragged exhibit. after rush of cancella- tions such as the trade has witnessed before under similar conditions. There Is a dis position to exaEgerate the stability Of "oF- ders." which 1t is well to guard against
 The iron industry Is passing again through one of It's frequent experiences of being caught unawares by a rapidly expanding consumption followed by a feverish activity to provide adequate producing facilities, which at first fall Into line dsappointlngly slowly and then make themselves felt sur prisingly suddenly That may make It's appearance during the second half of 1907.
 In its last analysIs the course of events in the second half of 1907 will depend first up on the crops. and secondly upon the ability 0r our country to finance the betterTnents and enlaFgemsnts of ns producing and transportatlon facilities

BuAiness Houses of Arkansas Res0F
 Suffer Great Damage.

Buainess Houses of Ar1kansas Resort
 SufEer Great Damage.
 Hot Springs, Ark, Jan. z.-The heav- fest rains ever recorded here fell in al- most e continuous downpour all of last night and today, and by reason of the washing away of bridges and houses in the northern part of the city. the merchants along Central Avenue where the storm wrought the greatest havoc, were damaged to the extent of at least $75.000.
 Central Avenue, which is the princi- pal thoroughfare of the city, was for hours a seething river. carrying debris of all descriptions. The water was waist deep and no one attempted to cross the street except in a vehicle.
 Three houses on Water street wer washed away, as also was the grand stand at Wilmington Park. At least twenty bridges were swept down stream and in the lower part of the city. the lumher manufacturers lost many thousands of feet of lumber. All cellars along Central Avenue were flooded Lo the depth of ten feet and all goods stor- ed there either destroyed or damaged.
 There were no trains in or out of the city after the early morning trains ar rived on any road. The Rock Island road attempted to send It's train out at 2 o'clock but after proceeding about i've miles was forced to return to the city. The Little Rock and Hot Springs Western road attempted to send out no trains as the track was under six feet of water for a distance of six hun dred yards, a short distance from the city. It will be impossible for the railroad companies Co learn the extert of their damage until the water sub sides. Tonight rain is still falling and further damage, 1t is feared, will re- suit.

WILL INVESTIGATE AFFAIR,
Senate Wants To Probe Into Browns
 vile Outrage.


 Washington, Jan. 2-There is no longer much, if any. doubt that the Senate will order an immediate inves- tigation of the discharge of the negro troops of the 25th Infantry on account of their alleged participation In the shooting up" of the town of Browns vile, Texas.
 Senator Foraker, whose resolution authorizing the Committee on Military Affairs to make an inquiry. Is pending today expressed the hope that the reso- lution would be adopted soon after the reconvening of Congress tomorrow and said that unless 1t was further attack ed, he would not make another speech on the subject at present. It has been expected that Senator Lodge would op- pose the inquiry, but he has recently stated that he would not do so.
 Unless therefore, opposition opens from an unexpected quarter, the reso- lution probaly will be taken up and passed tomorrow without debate.
 Even after the resolution is adopted. the committee will still be in position to deny the investigation, as the resol- ution is not mandatory, but no one be- lieves that such a course will be taken. There is already discussion as to whether the committee vii go to Texas, or do its work in Washington, but the general impression is that witnesses will be brought to this city, and that all the sittings will be held here.
