MAKE IS IN DEMAND
ALABAMA PIG IRON MARKET
 SHOWS PROGRESS.
Quotations Hold Firm And Orders And Inquiries Are Coming In DaiIy-Furnaces Are
 Being Repaired.

Birmingham. June 20-(Special)--The pig iron quotations hold firm and orders for the Alabama product come in satisfactorily, the make being In demand right along with inquiries on hand that will require a large tonnage of iron if the negotiations can be put through.
 There has been but little change In the make this month. Considerable improvement could be put Into effect as to production if the iron was In great demand. every preparation hav- ing been made in that direction, but all efforts so far have been to keep up with the demand and work slowly and surely on the repairs at furnaces where the same is needed. The Birmingham Coal and Iron Company announces that as soon as their No. furnace has to be blown out for repairs the No 1, iron maker at Vanderbilt, few miles from the city will be started up so that there will be but little differ ence in the output with this concern. President Maben of the Sfoss Sheffield Steel and Iron Company Is authority for the statement that the work on the North Birmingham furnace should be completed in July and that if conditions then were favorable the iron-maker will be started immediately after being dried out.
 IT there SnOulO De An iuCESnSe HI AHe demand and the iron on the yarda moved out before that time the Phila- delphia furnace in the vicinity of Shef- field Florence will be put in blast, thet furnace being in condition for the torch already. The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company has furnace oi two that can be brought into commits sion on very short notice. Other com pantes are pushing the work of repair ing of iron-makers right along. Ther' is not a great amount of iron that be longs to the furnace companies on tn' yards in this state and some o6 the pro duet that belongs to brokers and con
 sumers Is beginning to move out. Optimism prevails all through thu
 Alabama metal market and there Il confidence that before long there vii
 be need for all the iron that can b'
 made and the furnaces which are II
 shape will be called into service. The firm quotations appear to b' | setting right also. The manufacturer are not buiging under the sii.se pei

WIND AND RAIN STORM
 CAUSES ALARM IN MOBILE,

Mobile. June 2o.-(speciaI )-Mobile was visited today with a rain and wind storm. the latter being of but short duration. but blew at the rate of twenty-sight miles an hour. The weather bureau report gives A rain- fall for twelve hours ending tonight at o'clock. The river on account Of heavy southeast wind, was up four feet above usual stage. No damage to property in city or county has so far been reported.
 At one time during the afternoon, the river was about two feet from the top of the wharf. There was some uneas- mess among the merchants for a while but an investigation satisfied them that there was no danger. unless the wind continued to blow from same direction, through the entire night.

TO VISIT THE GAR
KING EDWARD WILL MEET NIGH
 OLAs AT COWEs.
Socialists Angry at the Display Of Friendship and Advise the Rus sian to Fight Shy of
 English Shores.

London. June 20-The meeting of the Emperor of Russia and the Emperor of Germany in Pitkipas Bay will be counterbalanced by the presence of a party of influential members of the Russian Duma in England during the next fortnight and the visit to King Edward by the Russian Emperor dur ing the Cowes regatta. This Is the second excursion of Russian deputies to England A party composed of members of the first DumE came here in 1906, when the Emperor dissolved that body as the guests of the mem- bers of Parliament.
 While the first delegation embraced members of revolutionary tendencies, the coming visitors represent the more conservative factions of the Russian Government and will practically be the guests of the nation. M. Khomw- akoff, President of the Duma. and Prince Peter Troubetskoy, head the delegation which consists of five mem bers of the Council of the empire and sixteen deputies
 An elaborate program has beeen pre- pared for their entertainment, which includes a reception by the King banquet by the Lord Mayor, a luncheon by the members of Parliament, several dinners, visits to the universities and excursions to provincial chtles.
 This delegation will be welcomed by every one, but 1t is not likely that Ehere will be much enthusism over the visit of Emperor Nicholas.
 The time has not yet arrived when the Russian ruler, whom many Eng Itshmen still regard as a tyrant, can come to London without danger of tn- suits.

FLORIDA FRUIT MEN
 CLAIM DISCRIMINATION

Washington. June 20--A remarkable complaint was filed yesterday with the Interstates Commerce Commission. It was against two hundred apd one in- terstate carriers, by the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Shippers Protective As- sociation. of Jacksonville, Fla.
 It alleged that the growers and ship pers of citrus fruits and vegetables from Florida points were subjected to nm just and unreasonable rates of trans portation to points in Northern and Western States and to unoue prejudios and indiscrimination in refrigeration charges made by the railroads.
 Similar complaints made by the same association are pending before the Com mission. It is improbable that q de- cIsson will be reached before next fall.

COOK DISAPPEARS
STRANGELY MISSING FROM THE
 TUG BOAT DIXIE.
Is One of the Most Mysterious Puzzles Which Has Confronted Pen-
 sacOla People in Some


 Pensacola, June 2o-(speciaL)--one of the most mysterious disappear anceg known in Pensacola in many years. was that of last night in the harbor, when John Hudgins. a cook aboard the tugboat Dixie, suddenly dropped out of existence and no trace of him has been found. It is the be- lief that he has been drowned, but if he fell overheard he made no noise that could be heard by the captain and crew.
 The tug boat went out early in the night to tow in some lighters, and while on the outward trip the cook was ordered to make coffee for the men. He did so and placed 1t on the table. When the men went below to get their coffee, they found it pre- pared, but the cook was missing. A quick search was made but the man could not be found. Then an alarm was sounded and the tugboat turned and passed over the course she had taken in going out into the stream. Nothing was ever found of the man, and a renewed searcn this morning failed to locate the body, if the man was drowned.
 steamer Ordered Away.
 The steamer Poe, which has been at tached to the quartermaster depart ment at Fort Barrancas for the past four years, is to proceed tomorrow to New York, where she will be used in similar service. Her place will be ta~ ken by the steamer General Batcheld- CT and Lieutenant Neary, the former coming from Fort Morgan and the lat ter one of the new arm vessels recent ly placed in commission. The heavy amount of freight handled and the large number of soldiers necessary to transport each day between Pensacola and the three forts, made it necessary GO have two larger vessels on the line.

 IS SURPRISED MT. Tillis Behind New
 Road. FEW KNEW OF PROJECT Meeting of Concn Will be Held
 Wednesday. In an Interview the Montgomery Cap- itaIIst Says Thst the New
 Roads Future Depends
 on This Meeting.
FEW KNEW OF PROJECT

Pensacola, Fla, June 2o.--(Special.) The announcement. which came this morning that Richard Tillis, of Mont gomery, had contracted to put up $2s0.- 900 towards the railroad to Andalusia, and that prominent citizens had agreed to put up an equal amount. came as much of a surprise in Pensacola, owing to the fact that the negotiations had been carried on so quietly that those not actually interested, did not know of 1t.
 The business men who over a year ago put up over $100,000 for surveying the road, are again behind the project and with Tillis backing the proposi- ton, 1t is believed that there is no doubt but that the road will be con- structed and that. too, at no distant date.
 It is the belief here that the taking over of the Central of Georgia by the Illinois Central has some connection with the movement to build the con- meeting link between Andalusia, but whether the promoters intend to build simply as an investment, selling to either the Illinois Central in order that the latter may get into Pensacola or to the Louisville and Nashville that the system may shut out the Illinois Central, is not known.
 Possibly Tillis and his associates re- alize that to build a connecting line with the Central of Georgia at this time will be a paying investment and do not intend to waste any time in getting in and scooping up franchises and waterfront privileges.
