SOUTHERN INTERESTS
PROTEST VIGOROUSLY
COLD WEATHER AND FLOODS
HAVE INTERPRETED WITH TIE
OPERATION OF MANY IRON AND
STEEL PLANTS.

3. Cleveland, Ohio. January 29.-The Iron
Trade Review tomorrow will say:
The extreme cold weather of the past
few days and floods especially in the
Ohio river valley, have interfered with
the operation of many plants, causing the
banking of some furnaces, the stopping
of two plants of the American Steel and
Tin Plate company, and the cessation OF
work at various foundries in. the Cincin-
natl district
The weather conditions have added to
the embarrassment of the railroads and
delivery of iron from the south already
long delayed, will be still further re-
ssrded. A storm of protest is arising
from southern furnace interests and con-
sumers of southern pig iron against the
action of the railroads in that section in
advancing freight rates, effective Feb
ruary l, on sold pig iron, the delivery OF
which has been delayed many months. as
well as ON iron to be sold after the first
of next month. The action of the Penn
sylvania railroad in organizing a $1o0.-
100000 car trust following the announce.
ment of new issue of capital stock and
bonds amounting to $200,0 900 has excited
much interest, and is generally accepted
as indicating Unprecedented expenditures
for freight ears. The principal car in
terest is now in the market for 300b
tons of pig iron for the last half of the
year and has placed an order for 500
tons of shapes.

REGIMENTS LEAVING FOR FOR
ElGN SERvIcE-NoTHlN MORE,
SAYS AlNSWORTH.

Washington, January 23.--In regard to
report from Kansas City of the enlist
ing in the United States army of negroes
for service in the Philippines, Major Cen
eral Ainsworth, the military secretary, to-
day said that no significance should be at
tached to these orders. The orders were
not confined to Kansas City alone, but
were sent to other recruiting points.
1t is said to be the invariable custom
of the department so far as possible to
recruit up to the full strength all regi-
ments, white or negro, about to go to
the Philippines, which have been depleted
by keeping back the short term men. In
the case of the Twenty fifth infantry, an
organization created by act of Congress,
it is necessary in order to comply with
the terms of the law, that negroes be re-
cruited to replace the battalion discharged
without honor as the result of the
Brownsville affair.

A NERvE-RAcKING GAME
Continued from First, Page.

Through an unfortunate misunder-
standing whereby the Pelican manage
ment found itself with two games on
its hands for last Sunday, it was nee
essary to do considerable scouting
around before the required number of
players could be secured. To make
matters worse, Chastant and Brock

they we're unavoidably detained. At
last Manager Ed. Zatarin of the Ban
zais consented to bring up few of his
players and these arrived on the ex-
cursieR from New Orleans. Four Ban
zais and five local boys were taken
by Secretary 7. A. Leblanc to Thibo-
daux, where in the afternoon they went
against Gibbs Greys, losing out by a
81 score. The combin alton did the
birds stunt of playing nice ball until
the latter part of the game, when Sc
ries of errors gave the Thiobies three
runs. Schoolboy" Brown, of New
Orleans, did the deceiving for the com
bination and was effective throughout.
He pitched winning game and with
better support would have won out.
The local players returned home Mon
day morning and are profuse in their
praise OF the treatment accorded them

team and the people of Thibodaux

tribute to the valor and patriotism of
the gallant old veterans who laid
down their lives without murmur in
the heart breaking struggle of '61-'65

just.
Every detail of the ceremonies was
splendidly planned and carried out,
and the demonstration gave ample

beneath the stars and bars are still
revered as tenderly as of yore, and
that the memory of their comrades
