Heavy.

Tungsten production in the Unitee
States was greater last year than in any
previous year except one In the history
Of the industry. Tungsten is one OF the
rarer commercial metals. but its use has
been largely increased in the past few
years by the demand for 1t for lamp fila.
ments and for use as steel alloy and
for other purposes.

Russia and Germany Combine.

It also discloses the intention Of Russia
and. Germany to take possession Of Tur-
key-in-Asia and work together for the
sources which are believed to exist there
and for the construction Of Transporter
ton lines.
This alliance between Russia and Ger
many leaves England, France and the
United States without hope OF sharing
in the material development of Turkey.
but interesting developments may be eX-
pected.
Russia already has by treaty the sole
right of constructing railways within a
zone Of 100 miles, along the southern
shores Of the Black sea, and that Is the
territory which she intends to take from
Turkey and add to her own empire at the
first opportunity. This right was granted
i'm a treaty made by Mr. Nicolas Tchary-
kow, the Russian ambassador at Con-
stantinople, with the Turkish govern
ment at the time when q concession was
granted to an International corporation
with headquarters In Switzerland to build
q road from the Mediterranean ports to
Bagdad and the Persian gulf. When a
French company asked permission, to
build railroad from Trebizond south
ward to Tabriz, Persia, via Erzeroum, 1t
was told that it would be in violation OF
the Russian agreements. Admiral Ches-

In the Persian empire
The Intervention OF Russia and Eng
land in Persian affairs occurred at the
time that the late shah endeayored to
overthrow the parliament and repudiate
the constitution, which his father had
conferred upon the people. A revolution
broke out In several cities and all north
ern Persia was in a ferment. With the
consent OF the powers, and with positive
pledge to protect and maintain the In
tegrity of Persia, England and Russia in
tervened. and Russia was invited to fur
nish guards for the property of foreigners
and police the disturbed districts. For
that purpose 1900 Russian. troops. mostly
Cossacks, were marched into Persia, and,
at the request of the minister of war,
Russian officers We're detailed to reor-
ganize the Persian army and place 1t IN
q condition of efficiency. Since then the
Russians have reinforced their troops
until there are supposed to be about
10000 encamped on Persian territory. and
all of the local regiments are under the
command Of Russian officers.
Courage and Spirit Manifested.
The Persian ministry made a prompt
and emphatic reply to the Russian de-
mands, showing great courage and spirit,
and rejecting all of them except that
which proposes to establish lines of auto
mobiles. In formal communication,
signed by all the members OF the cabinet.
the Russian minister at Teheran was ad-
vised that concession would be delivered
within three days after ''all the detach-
ments Of Russian troops have completely
evacuated every point In Persia, In such
manner as not to return under any
plea whatsoever" The minister Enclosed
. memorandum containing the regulations
under which motor cars might be run,
with the condition that whenever Pers
sian subjects may desire, they will have
the same rights to run motor cars on the
same roads"
for three years for the mineral explora-
ton of northwestern Persia, to take eff
feet three days after the withdrawal of
the last troops from Persian territory.
The Russian minister at Teheran re-
turned this communication to the min
lister Of foreign affairs with q curt note
saying that he would not receive any
further protests against Russian troops
in Persia. The British minister. who
was furnished with copy. because Great

declined to receive any further CON-

lions were adopted and addresses were
made by popular orators. The meeting at

BY WILLIAM E. CURTIS.
Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
It is understood that the kaiser and the
car at their recent meeting agreed upon
q harmonious policy for their mutual
benefit in Turkey and Persia which
leaves England and France out Of all
future calculations. ;.
The imperial German chancellor, DIR.
Won Bethmann- Hollweg, has officially an
nounced an agreement between Russia
and Germany for the construction Of q
branch Of the proposed Bagdad railroad
to Teheran, Persia, from Mosul and on
the Tigris river between Mesopotamia
and Kurdistan.
This arrangement interferes directly
with the concession which the Turkish
government has practically granted to an
American company. represented by Ad-
miral Chester Of the United States Navy,
and which only needs the ratification OF
the Turkish parliament. If the announce
ment OF the German chancellor is genuine
the Chester syndicate will have to go out
of business, because Germany will never
permit its concession to be ratified. Ger
many has prevented ratification thus far.
Baron Won Bieberstein, the German am
bassador at Copstantineple, interfered
last spring and warned the grand yizier
that 1t must not be done. The minister
of foreign affairs at Berlin assured DR..
Hill, the American ambassador, that he
acted without authority, and intimated
that he would be instructed to withdraw
his objections. But, SO far as can be as
certained. no such instructions were sent
him. and Il they were sent they have
been ignored. His opposition to the rati-
A.ation of the Chester concession Is
more positive today than 1t was last
spring, and the recent announcement dis
closes the reason

In summer. While teaching he studied

1873.
He later was appointed prosecuting at.
torney OF Kanawha county. He became
the law partner OF the late United States
death Of the latter formed q partnership
with former Gov. W. A. MacCorlsle, with
whom he continues to be associated.
Col. Chiffon has long been prominent
in West Virginia politics.
Gov. Glasscock holds the organizations
OF the West Virginia senate illegal, and
yesterday refused to transmit to either
house his biennial message. When the
joint committee called upon the execu-
tive, he said:
Il have a communication to the legls-
lature which shall be pleased to deliver
to 1t when the legislature is duly and
legally organized
No Business in Senate.
Further than this the governor would
make no statement, and the committee
returned and reported to the respective
houses. Gov. Glasscock declined to give
out any statement concerning his action.
Immediately after receiving the commit
tees report the senate adjourned, but
the house proceeded to business.
The republicans Of the house offered
. resolution asking that the legality OF
the senate organization be investigated
by the judiciary committee, but owing
to the democratic majority were unable
to get the resolution UP for considera-
ton.

Russia Adds to Military Power.

The Russians have responded to these
demonstrations by ordering more troops
into Persia, and the Russian minister
continues to ignore and treat with con-
tempt every communication made to him
by the Persian ministry on the subject.
In looking about for measures Of re-
taliation, the Persian leaders have decided
upon a boycott Of Russian goods. like
those imposed upon Austrian and Greek
the last year or two. The east learned
some time ago of the effectiveness OF
the weapon invented by the Irish. which
has been used with such results In other
parts Of the western world.
Abdollah Mazenderan apd Mohanmed
Kazem Khorassani. tho two highest &C.
clessastics in Persia, who reside at tho
holy city of Najef. have taken the mat
ter In hand and have proclaimed q boy
colt against all Russian merchandise until
the Russian troops are withdrawn. THE
presence of these foreign troops" their
mandate reads, 'fs contrary to the prin-
ciples of our constitution. to the obsery-
ance of Persian independence. to the pre-
cepts of our religion and also to the laws
of humanity. The first obligation, there.
fore, is for the Moslem to interdict Rus,
sian-produced merchandise: this Is the
first duty that each and all must observe
in accordance with patriotism and the
religious spirit"
Second Resort to Boycott.
This is the second time that Persian
Moslems have resorted to the boycott. In
1902, when the late shah granted q mo-
nopoly for the sale Of tobacco In the
Persian empire to a British syndicate
known as the Regia Company, these same
ecclesiastics forbade the use Of its wares.
and 90 per cent OF the population Of
Persia. who are habitual smokers. broke
their pipes and refused to use either the
tobacco. cigars or cigarettes until the
monopoly was Cancelled.
The boycott will doubtless precipitate
crisis with Russia and sooner or later
Persia will be compelled to appeal for
the protection of the European powers
This situation makes the recent agree
ment between the car and the kaiser
more serious and significant.
