BONILLA IS AGAIN
 TO TAKE UP ARMS
FORMER PRESIDENT OF HON. DURAS WAITS IN MEXICO FOR A FRIEND-DENoUNcEs OTHER PRESIDENTS.

San Antonio, Mex, April 24.-A special from Coatzacoalcos. Mexico, says:
 Former President Manuel Bonia of Honduras arrived here last night direct from his own country via Salna Cruz. He states he will await here the arrival from a steamer from the south, which will bring a friend whom he refuses to name, and that with this friend he will proceed to Belize and from there back to his own country to take up arms. He had apartments at the Colon hotel and there addressed a few people in a bitter arraignment of all the presidents of Central American republics, without exception.
 He takes a. most pessimistic view of the conditions and outlook in Central America, and places the blame on inad- equate governments. He declared that the presidents of the republics need some one stronger than, they are to take care of them and thrash them into a sense of what is fitting and right. He claims his own deposition from the presidency was due to bad faith on the part of Salvador and is optimistic in only one thing-in that he believes his own coun- try can whip Nicaragua. By what he means, he refused to state.
 In Salina Cruz the ex-president learned for the first time of the assassination in Mexico of his old friend. General Baril- la, and showed great grief over the oc- currence.

All day a line of people visited the headquarters at Averyt's pharmacy, Ensley, and Fulton Bros drug store, Bessemer, and while, in many cases, re- lief was sought by the personal assist ance of Colonel Dillingham; or one of his assistants. yet most of them purchased quantities of the remedies for home use and for neighbors who could not get out.
 Some remarkable cures were effected during the day. One gentleman, who oc- cupies an important clerical position, and who does constant writing with a pen, had become badly afflicted with cramp ing of the finger joints, and was hardly able to perform his work, He bought bottle Of Plant Juice Liniment, and with two applications declared that the pains and stiffness of the joints had entirely left his hand and he was able to do his work now without the least discomfort.
 The price of these remedies is within the reach of all. Plant Juice, which is de- signed especially for immediate relief and eventual cure of all stomach, kidney and liver trouble, retails at $1 per bottle, three for S2:50, or six for $5. Plant Juice Lini- ment a sure cure for all aches, sprains, insect bites, toothache, etc., sells at 50 cents ana 70 cents d DOllle, Wnuo buO Plant Juice Salve, a positive healing prep aration for cuts, wounds and bruises, re- tails at 25 cents.

 Last night the biggest crowd of the sea- son gathered both In Ensley and Besse- mer and were entertained until nearly 10 o'clock by the vaudeville company and the splendid music. The vast crowd showed their appreciation of the efforts to please and entertain and the lecturers were given the closest attention.
 The mail order business is getting to be one of the big features of the stay of Colonel Dillingham; in this city, and it has been necessary to organize regular de- partment for that feature of the busi- ness. Dozens of letters are being received every day from pople who have heard of the wonderful remedies.
 Mail orders addressed to Col. F. A; Dil- lingham, Postoffice Box 327, Birmingham, Ala, will receive prompt attention.

ton, or at least demand, to employ every spindle and loom. A year ago we re- corded England's increase of 6250.000 spindles The latest reports show 10000 900 spindles added or projected within five years, which equals the growth of the previous thirty years. In our own country there has been a normal condition of spindles, imports of cotton manufac- lures have increased during 1906 as com pared with 1905, s14,5OO,OO0, or 26 per cent; exports have diminished $1S,500000, or 24 per cent, yet there is no evidence of over supply or glutted markets. Extension of foreign trade is for the moment ignored on account of the home demand absorbing all the output
 Everything that enters into the cost of production is getting on to an excessively high level. It is hardly to be expected that the present tariff can prevent large importations of foreign goods unless we can maintain our lead in the use of labor saving methods and devices. But the fact is that our foreign competitors are keen ly alive to the situation. and are rapidly adopting American improvements, and are already mills abroad that are fully equipped with every American device. As soon as there is a reaction abroad, we expect a reaction here"
 Cotton Exchange.
 Pr sident McColl discussing cotton ex- changes said that inN his opinion the time had come when a cotton exchange should be established in New England, where two-thirds of the spindles of the country are located with their excel lent export and railroad facilities" he said, either Boston or Providence should grasp the opportunity that is presented. With regard to the steamer communica- tion with southern and New England ports, carrying cotton one way and tax ing back New England manufacturers another, the existence here of a great central reservoir of raw material, in my Judgment or there would be an impor- tant economy in money and time."
 Samuel T. Hubbard of New York dis cussed "The New York cotton exchange and it's contract for delivery of cotton. U
 He said in part:
 "Our market is usually described as not a cotton market. It is well to note that last season we sold more spot cot ton to exporters and spinners than any market, except New Orleans, Savannah, Houston and Memphis.
 We have become the great clearing house of the world. Our transactions rep resent cotton in Bombay and Alexandria, as well as in Bremen. Liverpool and the south. It is in the highest development of commerce that such a clearing house exist and that contracts are carried out to the letter.
 In discussing corporations and the pub lie welfare E. w. Burdett of Boston said:
 Tn my opinion business and profession al men should without reference to their general politics uphold the hands of Pres ident Roosevelt in all wholesome meas ures for the further regulation of the rail roads, which he may suggest. As radical as he is after all the greatest conserva- tive because has activity along these lines will be the means of delivering us from the unpatriotic and ruinous radicalism of the irresponsible agitators, from the ma- chinations of the demagogue, and the yellow journals

Gibbons Eulooizes Pope.

Cardinal Gibbons at banquet follow ing the pallium ceremonies today, said speaking of the present Pope:
 'Of all the Pontiffs the present Pope ought to be specially venerated by the American church, because it was the first time in the history of the American church that an American cardinal par ticipated in the conclave for the election of a Pope when Cardinal Sarto was pro- posed for the see of St. Peter and was elected.
 ''The toastmasters said tonight that it has something to do with the election of Pope x and now I must either affirm or contradict his statement. Cardinal Sarto said he was not a candidate Tor the papacy. T beg of you my brthren, said he, to pass my name by. l am unfit for the exalted position. The burden will be too heavy for my shoulders and emploro you my venerable colleagues to entirely forget my name
 Later, Cardinal Gibbons continued, Car dinal Sarto was induced to reconsider and accept, and the suggestion which led to this reconsideration was made by Cardinal Gibbons.

 lnterspersed With Amer
 can Colors.

New Orleans, April 24.-Before dis tinguished portion of the Roman Catho- lie hierarchy of the United States, includ- ing Cardinal Gibbons, two archbishops and sixteen bishops, the pallium was to- day invested upon Archbishop Blenk of New Orleans.

 It Is d band of white wool with two pendants of the same material and bears four black crosses. It was brought here from Rome, and It's sacred import was de- scribed as follows by Archbishop Glernon Of St. Louis. who delivered the sermon:
 Before its being brought to St. Pcter's tomb, where was the simple his- tory of the making of this pallium at the hands of the daughters of St. Agnes, from the wool of the lambs which were dedicated to St. Agnes, the virgin and martyr, the snowdrop of the springtime in the Christian Rome in the days of old. So woven and surmounted with the cross of her martyrdom. the pallium was carried to the tomb of the apostle guard ed there on his feast day, blessed by the sovereign pontiff, and forwarded from that shrine here"
 Jewels of PaIIium.
 With the palium were three jewels, an amethyst, a topaz and ruby, each set in pin for fastening the insignia upon tn, archbishop's garments. Contrary to custom, these jewels were not sent from Rome but were. with the Pope's per mission, gifts of an old New Orleans family which had known Archbishop Blenk for many years. The jewels were heirlooms

New York, April 24.-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 While Pittsburg reports further large transactions in Bessemer pig at the figure recently established, the volume of busi- ness in steel making irons in other sec tons of the country is on a very small scale. Large consumers in the foundry trade seem to be chiefly engaged in man. euvering for position. Out side of one in- terest in the New York district, which has purchased an aggregate of about 20 900 tons during the last three weeks, large inquiries are still pending either in whole or In part, and good deal of mystery IS maintained. One feature in the siftla- tion Is the advance abroad for No. Mid dleshoro warrants, and the report eman- ates from excellent source that purchases for American account of warrants to the extent of 10000 tons have been made. It remains to be seen whether the iron will be actually shipped. On tt basis of warrant prices ruling today, Middlesboro iron cannot be laid down at less than $20 .25, duty paid. Even then foreign iron is selling considerable below domestic for early deliveries, and the foreign metal cannot penetrate very far inland
 Tn Pennsylvania inquiry for rails for 1908 aggregates 153,OO0 tons, against about 11OOOO tons for 1907, with the equal op- ton of taking a certain percentage above or below the quantity named.
 AS yet no advices have been received concerning 1908 sales from the quarters where the movement is expected to de- velop first.
 A constant flow of new business is com ing to the structural mills. A Pittsburg manufacturer has secured 5000 tons for the extensions of the Pittsburg Steel com pany and an additional 1000 tons were placed for San Francisco. Chicago re- ports that there are pending 5000 tons of bridge work, and 25,O00 tons for build ing at Indianapolis, while in the east the New Haven railroad needs further ton mage for the Harlem extension.
 The bar trade is active, although thus far only a moderate part of the seasons requirements of the implement makers has been placed. They are still holding off in the hope of receiving special con sessions. Lagre orders for the second half are benig placed with the tin plate mills.
 The cast iron pipe foundries are doing a very fair business. Among the contracts pending are 6100 tons for St. Louis, 25O0 tons for Cincinnati and 1500 tons for Los Angeles.

BUY STEEL-MAKING PIG

Cleveland. O., April 24-(special) )-The Iron Trade Review today says:
 "As week alter week, and month after month conditions of unprecedented pros perity continue, there is a gradually in- creasing tendency to speculate as to when a change towards lower prices and de- creased demand will come, but at the present time only the most pessimistic can see any unfavorable signs.
 It is true that in some lines new busi- ness is not quite so active. but at the present time only the most pessimistic can see any unfavorable signs.
 It is true that in some lines new busi- ness is not quite so active, but when buy CTS cannot receive promises of deliveries in less than four to six months on many products without paying heavy premiums they are naturally cautious in regard to adding to their orders, and many are willing to wait, therefore placing orders which cannot be filled prior to next fall. This hesitency cannot however, be re- garded as evidence of an approaching period of depression.
 The buying of steel making pig iron Has cohlihueu m the central west, sales of Bessemer in the Pittsburg district amounting to about 2S,5OO tons and it is evident that the supply of Bessemer in the valleys for the remainder of the year is not appreciably better than the pend ing inquiry.
 In foundry grades the market has been active In nearly all centers and prices are firm. Inquiries for malleable are num- erous.
 Middlesboro No. 8 has advanced to 57 shillings on account of the strong de- mand for Germany and the United States.
 Four cargoes, aggregating 10000 tons, of English iron has been chartered for de- livery at Philadelphia in May. Foreign iron is now about the only means of re- lief in the spot iron market for many buyers.
