 Government

New York, May 5.-Hearings in the trial of the governments suit to dissolve the United States Steel corporation under the sherman antitrust law will be begun here at the United States custom house to- morrow morning before Henry P. Brown of Philadelphia, who was appointed spe- cial commissioner to conduct the hear ings
 In point of magnitude of the property involved and the prominence of the in- dividual defendants, the suit is the most important of its kind ever pressed by the government.
 In view of the number of and the wide area covered hy the allegations specified in the governments bill of complaints. it is considered probable that at least year will elapse before the taking of testimony is completed.
 Jacob M. Dickinson, former secretary of war, will represent the government in the case as special counsel and in the array of counsel for the corporation are Joseph H. Choate, Richard V. Lindabury, John G. Johnson and Francis Lynde Stetson.

RAILROADS PLACE VERY HEAVY ORDERS 23,000 Cars and 165 LOcOmO- tives Ordered-Orders
 in Sight

New York, May 5.--Raroad equipment shops were overwhelmed with orders for cars and locomotives last week and steel mills benefited from additional heavy contracts for finished steel products.
 With the opening of May the railroads placed orders for 2S,0O0 cars and 165 loco- motives. Since April l contracts have ex- ceeded 460oO cars and 600 locomotives, calling for about 50000O tons of steel bars, plates and shapes. Similar con- tracts are on the point of being closed which will require about 100000 tons of steel Principal orders last week were given by the Hartman interests, the St. Louis and San Francisco and Cana dian Pacific systems. Rail contracts ag- gregated nearly 200,000 tons, including 3O.- GOO tons for the St. Louis and San Fran cisco. Since April l rail contracts have exceeded 100000 tons.
 All the steel companies are operating at almost full capacity, The Steel cor poration produced 3i0,000 tons of steel in- gots during the last week of April New orders during the same time averaged COCO tons daily, exceeding shipments by about 1000 tons per day. Shipments dur ing the first quarter aggregated 2,S00.OO0 sons. The second quarter shipments will Dc heavier and q larger revenue will be derived because of the more remunera- tive prices prevailing.
 Many small orders for fabricated steel to be used in commercial buildings came out during the last few days of April that orders for the month exceeded 100000 tons.
 Merchants sales of pig iron in April aggregated 100000 tons.

GREAT SUFFERING
 IN FLOODED AREA
John Floyd Says No One Can Realize the Situation Unless He Is
 on the Scene


 That the condition of men in the flood stricken regions at Alabama's very door is infinitely worse than the wreck of the Titanic, So far as actual suffering is con- cerned, was q statement of John B. Floyd, well known business man of this city who has just returned from a trip in the devastated country
 He said that there are hundreds of men who would have starved to death with their families about them but for the goodness of the federal government. which fed them and is keeping up that work until the conditions are bettered MT. Floyd yesterday said that it was inconceivable to the average mind how intense was the suffering in Mississippi and elsewhere, where the flood has done it's worst work
 He said that any one not actually view ing the devastated country and coming in persohal contact with the stricken people could not grasp the terrible effects of the recent floods in that country.
 MT. Floyd added that if donations have not been liberal in this city for a partial relief of the stricken south renewed eff forts should be made at once for the inn mediate relief of the people.

BOTH HOUSES ARE
 WATCHING POLITICS Causes Congestion of Busi-
 ness in the Senate MAY TAKE A RECESS
Possibility of Recess Over National Conventions and Resumption of Work Afterward-Senate
 Works Longer Hours

Washington, May 5-Politics is absorb ing the attention of Congress. Much of the discussion in both Houses is being
 aimed at the coming campaign, and the congestion of business in the Senate is | largely attributable to that cause. All the House tariff legislation a for
 midable list of appropriation bills, the
 case of Senator Lorimer, legislation for
 the administrative machinery of the Pan-
 ana canal and variety of other legisla
 tion are .still to be acted upon by the Senate.
 May Take Recess The leaders of both sides concede the possibility of a recess over the national conventions in June, and, resumption of the sessions then to wnd up the important legislation. So far there has been no definite attempt at an understanding as to an adjournment or a recess. The fight on the workmans compensa- tion bill probably will end tomorrow aft
 ernon, with conditions presaging passage of the measure in the Senate. The tariff fight in the Senate has been temporarily delayed by the workmen's compensation debate, and may be further interferred | with this week by the minority of the l Lorimer Investigating committee. Sena- | tor Kern is planning to call up the case | early this week.
 | Republican senators are expecting
 number of speeches on the House steel
 tariff revision bill, with the possibility
 of vote on it by or before the early
 part of next week. Senators Cummins
 Lodge, Smoot Williams and Stone will
 be among the speakers.
 Senate to Work Early 1 To expedite business republican lead
 CTS are contemplating fixing the hours | of the daily sessions of the Senate from
 noon until o'clock. In this way, Sen
 ators are optimistic of an early adjourn
 ment, believe that all necessary busi-
 ness may possibly be disposed of. 1 The House Is busied with plans for l the money trust investigation, by the
 banking and currency committee, and | by | threatened investigation of th. charges against Robert w. Archbald, judge of the United States commerce court The charges have been withheld from the public, The House judiciary committee will take them up next Tues day, with prospects of a thorough probe.
 The service pension bill, as agreed on by the conferees, will come up for approval in both Houses, probably this week.

 It rained in all the northern border states today, except New England. Tn the west the rain fell included most of the upper Missouri valley.
 The tendency towards rising pressure in the cotton belt noted Saturday and Sunday seems to have been checked, the barometers still reading relatively low there.
