STEEL MILLS ARE
BUYING HEAVILY
PRESSURE AT FACTORIES FORCES
MANY INTO OPEN MARKET TO
SUPPLY OWN DEFICIENCIES.

PITTSBURG, Nov THE pressure
on the steel mills of Pittsburg dis
trict during October has reacted on the
blast furnaces. The demand for iron
has exceeded the utmost capacity of
the combined furnaces of the Pitts
burg and Valley districts, lightweight
of which were in blast last week, our
of a total of ninety. Two Ohio steel
steel plants were compelled to SLOW
down" during the week, owing
to the tarGy delivery of pig iron. A
considerable tonnage of basic iron was
taken by Pttsburg district concerns
for delivery during November and De.
cember, from the Virginia furnaces,
some of it costing $1S25 and $3.50
delivered-or within so cents of the
Valley price of Bessemer iron.
Fearing its own furnaces will be un'
able to keep up with its steel mills

Six of the large independent steel

their mills, have come into the opel
market since Sept. l for total o

will be felt, however, until after the
first of the year.
The principal furnace companies here
are out of the market until well toward
April 1, and there was little trading
during the week just closed. The
Youngstown Sheet and Tube added TO-
600 tons OF Bessemer to its purchase
of 10000 tons closed the week before.
Small tonnages of Bessemer sold to-
tailed 5000 tons more. The Young
stown company succeeded in covering
it's needs at $40, Valleys, but some of
the smaller purchases brought $3.50,
and in one case 500 at furnaces. No
minally the market still stands at $19
ON large tonnages, however. Small
lots of basic iron brought $3.50 for
prompt, and a shade higher for first
quarters delivery. There was much
demand for the No foundry grade
at $3.50 on contracts running from No
vemDer through the first quarter.
Coke is seemingly threatening with a
still further reaction. In the face of 80
ton for 1910 furnace coke, paid three
weeks ago, and $3.50 paid the last week
in October on contract for large

SECRETARY NEWBERRY
Explains His Plan of Reoreaniza-
ton, Which Meets With Ap-
prevail of His Hearers.

Secretary Newberry of the navy today
explained to the Senate committee on
naval affairs the reorganization scheme
which he is putting into effect, in accord
ance with a recent circular He said
that he is not in favor of general staff
for the navy, such as the general staff
corps OF the army, nor does he approve
any staff which might come between the
Secretary and the President or betwe
the Secretary and Congress. In informal
discussion 1t VS. developed that the Sen
ate committee is in harmony with Mr.
Newberry in his plans for the consolida-
ton of mechanical bureaus in navy yards
and that the scheme carries out the views
expressed by the committee in the appro-
priation bill Of 1904.
incidentally several democratic members
of the committee wan 10 know why
this action had not been taken before and
they twitted Mr.. Newberry about Presi-
dent Roosevelt's dominat ton Of the Navy
Department and his experience in naval
affairs gained through the assistant Sec
retaryship. which he held prior to the
Spanish-Amerioan war.
BY questioning MIR. Newberry the fact
was brought out that frequent changes
in the naval secretaryship were largely
responsible tor lack of progress. 1t was
said that Secretary of the Navy no
sooner became familiar with the system
in the department than he retired from
office and a new head was appointed
Mr. Newberry was asked if he seconded
the recommendations of the general board
and tie boaid of construction in favor of
26.0tO ten battieships. He replied that he
did.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. February l.
Declaring that after continuous study and
investigation. extending over quarter
OF century, he had solved the problem
OF the origin of the solar system. Prof.
T. J. j. See, United States Navy, the
officer in charge of the observatory at
Mare Island. gave Saturday night to the
Astronomical Society OF the Pacific the
first public announcement of a new ne,u-
lar hypothesis which he believes is des-
tined to permanently supplant that Of
Laplace. promulgated at Paris in 1896
Prof. See is the author of over 200
scientific papers published in the journals
and transactions of the learned societies
of this country and Europe. Twelve
years ago he published a large volume
on the orbits Of double stars, which is
used by astronomers all over the world.
More recently he has published impor-
tant researches on the mathema teal
theory of the construction of the sun,
and within the last two years he de-
velOped a new theory Of earthquakes and
mountain formations. He explained earth
quakes by the leakage of oceans

The substance of Prof. Secs theory of
the formation Of the solar system is as
follows:
He denies that The planets were ever
detached from the sun when that globe
was expanded into a nebUla filing the
planetary orbits and submits mathemati-
cal calculations to show that all these
masses have been captured. Originally
