The Territorial militia has some
strenuous hiking before it through
orders that have been issued by Ad-
jutant-General Jones and Colonel Zieg
Ter. The Dick militia law aims to pro
vide a certain amount of work to be
performed by the militia organizations
of the country each year, and it is in
accordance with the United States regu
lations that Adjutant- General Jones
has drawn up plans for practical work
to be undertaken by the citizen sol
diery of the Territory.
The practise marches will be assigned
to one company at a time, the first be-
ing Company c, Captain Camara, which
will start for Kaneohe Saturday even
ing at $50, returning Sunday morning
"The issuance of these ORDERS said
Colonel Jones yesterday, simply means
that the militia work will conform to
the letter and the spirit of the national
militia law that is based on the routine
of the regular army. Practise marches
are of practical value in many ways
and will be continued in the future
one company going out each week.
1.-THE new militia law was drawn uI
ON broad lines and its local applica
ton will mean much for the develop
ment of the guard"
Legislature Helped.
The carrying out of the Federal regu
lations, which must be observed to Sc
cure the United States appropriation
will be simplifed by the bill that was
passed by the last Legislature. In adj
dition to creating the salaried Office
of Adjutant-General, the Legislature
approved an act that brought the Ter
ritorial regula tions into full working
harmony with the Federal regulations
The orders issued yesterday were az
follows:

Rectorship Not Decided.

Rome, January 30.-The question of the rectorship of the Catholic univer- sity at Washington has not yet been definitely decided because the arch bishops composing the board of trust ees, instead of sending to Rome the names of three candidates, as in the past, only designated the Rt Rev. Johti P Carroll, bishop of. Helena, Mont. The congregation decided to appoint a temporary rector, Dr T. J. Shahan. professor of church history at the Caholic university and chief editor Of the Catholic University Bulletin.

PEPPERS REPORT
 ON IRON AND STEEL Special Agent Gives Cost of
 Production In-turope
AN AVERAGE OF RESULTS
MT. Pepper Gives Figures Showing the Cost of Ton of Basic Raw Iron and It's Conversion
 Into Steel.

Washington, January 3O-(special )- Last summer, at the request of the ways and means committee, the department of commerce and labor sent a number of it's cxperta abroad to ascertain the cost of production and the labor cost of many lrticles covered by the present tariff
 laws. One of these experts was Charles
 M. Pepper, a special agent of the de- partment of commerce and labor, who was sent to Germany to investigate the iron and steel industry. He has recently filed a report with the ways and means com
 mittee showing the cost of production and labor cost throughout the empire of Ger i many on iron and steel products There was a great deal of conflicting informa- ton testified to before the ways and means committee at its hearings as to the
 cost of production and the report of
 Mir Pepper on this subject is of much in- terest to many of the manufacturers in
 this country.
 As to the cost of production of iron
 and steel MT. Pepper in his report says
 Blast furnaces and rolling mills To- cated in different sections naturally have variations in the cost of their fuel and ore and these disadvantages are some times equalized by advantages in the
 freight rates and the nearness of the markets for the half finished products.
 However, the marketing of the product l is not here considered in connection with the cost of production Information ob- talned from those identified with the inc dustry and confirmed by dstnterested
 trade authorities gives the following re- suits which may be taken as the aver age obtaining in the localities named in 19os
 Dortmund district and city:
 Cost of one ton basic raw iron: 57 to z 60 marks; s1S, ,57 to si4.2s "Conversion one ton raw iron to steel: l4 to Is marKs: sSS to SS.sl. Labor cost one ton basic raw iron. S. 50
 to marks SAC to a6c.
 "Lumemburg
 "one ton basic pig iron with 11a per cent of manganese; 52 to os marks; SIP .3s to sl- sl.
 "Conversion one ton pig iron into steel binets. to 25 marks $5.7l to s5. 90 Labor cost one ton pig iron ? 50 to 3
 marks; Gee to ,zo.
 Analysis of figures;
 "The figures for Dortmund may be
 taken as absolute. Those for Luxem-
 burg are high, 1t being understood that with the prices pre- esailing in the fall and early winter of 1908 pig iron could
 be produced at the works at 4s marks
 (Sl1. 42) per ton. The Lorraine works, how
 ever, approach the figures given. At Ak la Chapelle, which Is not a large
 producer of pig iron, tho cost is sig 50
 to ssl0 per ton. The works there buy in considerable quantities from the blast furnaces of the other sections The diff
 ference in the cost of converting the raw

burg will be noticed. It reflects the ad- vantage which the Lorraine -Luxemburg works have in the matter of ore at the works.
 At Dortmund in 1908 the minimum cost of producing one ton of raw iron was $1357 and tone ton of steel S16.90 As suming that all conditions for the cheap est production coincide1 at Luxemburg. the bottom figure lower than the aver age estimate, was $11 42 for pig iron and SIT IS for steel. Apparently in no case does the labor cost of one ton of pig iron amount to $1."
