IN THE WORLD OF FINANCE

Amalgamated Copper's output in
January fell of 100000 pounds.
but the output has increased since
then.
1t is estimated that Goldfield Con-
solidated, which has started quarter
ly dividends of 80 cents share. will
need to produce upwards of $4,000
900 gross to keep up this rate an
nually. There are outstanding about
100000 shares. par $40.
In the Tonopah camp less than
half the gross output shows in net
surplus.
The Pennsylvania Steel Company
earned last year eight times enough
to pay the interest on its Spanish
American Iron Company bonds.
Nipissing's monthly output keeps
close to 100000.
A large part of the March dividend
and interest disbursements, which to-
tai nearly $10O,000,000, will go out
of the United States. The latest
statistics published in England show,
that the United Kingdom owns ST.
425,OOO,000 of American securities.
These are mostly bonds and good
railroad stocks.

FAVORS CHANGE OF DATE
Thinks May | Should Be Date Of
the Inauguration.
Speaker Cannon. House And Senate
Leaders Favor A Date When
Weather Will Be Good.

Washington, D. C. Especially -
Change Inauguration Day. Change
it to a later date, when the many
thousands of visitors who come here
every four years from every State
in the Union will not risk their lives
by exposure to the terrible weather
of the early days of March,
This is the sentiment that prevails
in Washington. 1t has been the sem
timent in the capital for many years,
but the unprecedented weather of
Thursday has shown the absolute
folly of tolerating such conditions
any longer. 1t has moved the citi-
zens to action; it has stirred up Off
Gals, and 1T is believed that Con-
gress will at last take action to
change the date of Inauguration to
some time of the year when tolerable
weather can be assured.
All Washington Suffered.
All Washington is half sick from
the exposure. There are $4,000
cases of colds and sore threats, and
thousands of cases of pneumonia
and grip are certain to result.
Leaders in the Senate and House
say that Thursday was the last
March 4 upon which a President of
the United States will be Inaugural
ted. They think the inaugural date
should be put later in the year. the
last part of April or about the first
of May. A bill will be introduced
in the next regular nession of Con-
gress providing for the change. The
leaders believe it will be put through
without much opposition.
Twice has such a bill passed the
Senate in previous years. but both
times it has been killed in the
House. The House leaders, however,
declared themselves in favor of the
change. Speaker Cannon expressed
himself in favor of the proposition,
as did Representative Tawney, chair
man of the Committee on Appropria-
lions.
Other Senators who favor the
change are Scott. of West Virginia;
Nelson, of Minnesota; Dillingham;, OF
New Hampshire; La Toilette, Of Wis
consin; Curtis, of Kansas; Cullom,
of Illinois; Overman, of North Caro-
lima; Tillman, of South Carolina;
Lodge, of Massachusetts,, and Cal
linger, of New Hampshire.

RUSSIA CANNOT
HAZARD A WAR
In No Position to Fight in Behalf
of Servia.
AUsTRIAs NOTE IS C9NCIlIATORY.
France Would Not Consent Because
Too Many Millions OF French
Capital Are Invested In Russia
Should Russia Become Involved
In Hostilities Russian Poland
Would Rise In Insurection.

81
Berlin Especially Since the Aus
tro-Hungarian government has NAM
ed March 81 as the limit within
which it expects Servia's reply, fol-
lowing the interview which Count
Forgach, the Austrian minister at
Belgrade, had with the Servian ad-
ministration, it is believed that no
striking development is likely in the
Balkan situation until that period
draws to an end.
Count Forgach, in addition to no.
tifying Servia that his government
was not in a. position to submit a
renewal of the commercial treaty be-
tween the two countries for parlia-
mentary sanction, also informed the
Servian government that Austria
cherished the confident hope that
Servia would notify his government
that she had decided to change her
policy with regard to Bosnia and
Herzegovina, and that it was her In
tention to maintain peaceful rela-
tions with Austria-Hungary.
The German foreign Office consid-
ers a peaceful settlement between
Austria and Servia, acting alone. as
probable. Austria's note with regard
to this matter is described semioffi-
cially as conciliatory, and not in the
nature of an ultimatum. 1t appears
to be the conviction that Russia Is
not in position to hazard war
in behalf of Servia, as her internal
political situation is such that no
guard regiments could be sent from
the capital, nor could the other gar
risons be reduced much below their
present strength. 1t Is thought, too,
that should Russia become involved
in war, Russian Poland would be
likely to rise in Instruction. This
would mean vast expenditures, the
result of which would be national
bankruptcy.
France also would be unwilling
to give her consent to Russia's risk
ing war, for the reason that SO many
millions of French capital are In
vested in Russia.

POWDER MILLS, BLOWN UP.
One Man Killed And Several Injured
In Wilmington.

1h w AAAAMSStOAs
Wilmington. Del. Especially An
explosion at $50 o'clock A. M, in
the Dupont Powder Company's yard
killed George c. Whiteman, of Will
mington; fatally injured Morris Cur
RE and slightly injured several 9TH
er persons, besides destroying two
mills and doing other damage to the
plant and houses in the vicinity OF
the powder works.
From what could be learned, the
explosion originated in an expert
mental barrel in what is known as
the pressroom, which set off a large
quantity of powder, and the concus-
sion discharged a grinding mill near
by. Whiteman was at work in the
pressroom at the time, but no per-
son was in the grinding mill.
The shocks caused much commo-
ton in the city, the windows in many
houses being broken and other dam
age being done. In some hous IS
doors were thrown open and wood
work was damaged.
Whiteman, who was SO years of
age, was the father of 10 children.
