RAILWAY STATISTICS ISSUED.

Tables prepared by the Bureau Of Rail-
way Economics from the reports made
| by the railways for that month to the

ways include their receipts for freight
and passenger transportation. for mail

Steel Trust Charges More for Goods
Exported Than for Those Sold
to Domestic Consumers.

New York, Jan. cs-The faces of Chair
man Stanley and of the other Bryanite
members Of the committee OF the House
of Representatives that has been bedevil-
ing the United States Steel Corporation
for eight months back in the effort to
extract campaign material grew rather
glum last Tuesday, when there was
spread upon the records of the commit
tee proof that the United States Steel
Corporation was now and had been for a
long time in the past selling goods for
export at higher prices than those charg-
cd to domestic consumers. In 1911, the
domestic price of barbed wire was SIS
at the mills; the export price was 81
The domestic price on nails was $l.5S;
the foreign price was $l.s5 at New York
plus the cost OF transportation, which
the foreign consumer would have to pay.
The price OF standard steel rails to do
nestle buyers was IS a ton; the price
Of American steel rails for consumers
abroad was SSl.70.
This was not the sort OF campaign ma
terial that Chairman Stanley and his
Democratic associates were after, and
they made haste to get rid of President
Farrell. Of the Steel Corporation, who
testified to the facts, as soon as they
possibly could. Perhaps this modest
might be considered in a broad sense as
the most important financial and business
development of the week.
Second only to II. however. was the
published result of the calculations OF
Herbert Knox Smith, the United States
Commissioner OF Corporations, that the
Steel Corporation as a so-called inte-
grated combination-that IS TO say. a
combination Of producing concerns that
involved the gathering together OF all
the processes entering into the manufac-
finished product-could turn out the I'm
ished product at a cost so much less than
that of all concerns doing business in
the old-fashioned nonintegrated way, as
to give the fntegrated combination a
great and decided advantage in the bust

EXTEND ARMISTICE
FOR TWO WEEKS
Manchus and Rebels Prepare for
Renewal of Hostilities, as the
Royal Family Stands Firm.

Tientsin, Jan. 2S.-The armistice be-
tween the government and republican
forces, which was TO have expired to-
morrow, was extended to-day until Feo-
ruary II. The Chinese royal family met
again to-day to consider abdication. The
Empress Dowager and Prince Ching ex.
pressed themselves as being willing tc
relinauish the throne, but the other
princes again vigorously opposed abdica.
tion at this time. Prince Ching and the
Empress view with alarm the increasing
popularity of Prince Kung, who. they
fear, may attempt TO usurp the throne.
Premier Yuan Shi Kai gave his ap-
proval to-day TO the proposal that the
national assembly convention be held
either at Hankow or Tsingtau.
The forty-four imperial officers who pc
titioned for abdication, II became known
to-day, are all under the control OF Yuan
Shi KaI. This fact is regarded as highly
significant attitude Of the premier toward
the situation.
It is believed here that neither the
rebels nor the republicans Will observe
the extension of the armistice. The i'm
perialists have ordered that a division Of
troops march at once on Chefoo, and
military activities are reported from re-
publican headquarters.
Pekin, Jan. S.-The Manchu princes
have announced that they will agree to
the abdication of the Emperor If he be
given absolute spiritual control in China.
This proposal to create Chinese Pope
Is received with widespread surprise and
with much hostility. There is little chance
that 1t will be accepted, as the Southern
rebels see in IL an intrigue whereby the
Manchu dynasty might later reclaim its
old power. The acceptance OF the pro-
posal would mean a state Of affairs in
China similar TO the position OF the EN-
peror OF Japan during the Shogunate.
The position OF Premier Yuan ShI Kai
Is now positively perilous. Japan seems
TO have entirely abandoned her attitude
as favoring the retention OF the mon
archy. and the premier, IL is evident,
will soon find himself In the embarrassing
position OF having no support from any
quarter. The Yiceroy Of Manchuria has
been asked to replace Yuan Shi Kai, but
he refused.
