PENNSYLVANIflNS LAND

DEPAnK FnOM Tlin TRAASrOIlT AND - MAnCII TO THE PRESIDIO. People of San Franclco FIfflitlns: Volunteer a Gree tinsThe . Reliefs Give the Heart? Sick. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3. At 0 o'clock this morning the Pennsylvania troops disembarked from the transport Senator and commenced the march to the Presidio reservation, where the soldiers will go Into camp preparatory to mustering out. The reception accorded the foldlers" from the Keystone State was similar to that given the Oregon, Nebraska and Utah boys, who had preceded them home. Thousands of people lined the streets through which the men were to pass. The usual medley of steam whistles, cannon and fireworlts accompanied them all through the business section of the city. Three heavy batteries, one light battery and the regimental band of the Third Artillery came first In the parade,, followed by the Nebraska regiment, and then came the Pennsylvanlans, led by Lieutenant Colonel Barnett. Colonel Barnetfs sword, draped In crepe out of respect to the Ciemory of Colonel Hawkins, commander of the regiment, who died at sea en route home, caused a hu3h to fall on the multitude. The Pennsylvanlana presented even a better appearance from a health standpoint than did the Nebraska boys and those from Utah, but they ascribe this to the tonic effects of the sea air on the voyage and to the fact that they were off the fighting line some time before departure from the Islands. The soldiera accepted the attentions showered upon them modestly. The expressions of gratification which their sunburned faces bore and an occasional cheer were the only iigns they permitted themselves to showthat they appreciated the demonstrations of a grateful people. The plaudits of an admiring people could not dissipate the discipline of a year's, service .in. the army, and the loss of their commander hung heavily ,vpon them. The battleflag of the Pennsylvanlans. torn, shot-riddled and almost a wreck of its former beauty, excited general veneration. As toon as the colorbearer came into sight a cheer, mightier, if possi ble, than any which had been given the boys, rang out from the throngs. The am bulances of the Pennsylvanlans brought up the rear of the regiment, bearing the sick and wounded. Following the Pennsylvan lans came Battery C, of the Third Artillery, from the Presidio. The parade was reviewed by General Shafter, and in the reviewing stand with him was the committee of Pennsylvanlans who hart come to extend a welcome to their xeturned heroe3. As the troops passed the reviewing stand they could not suppress a cheer and it was returned by thos; In the stand. On arriving at the Presidio the work of going Into camp was taken up with a vim. and early in the afternoon the boys were comfortably quartered. Here they will remain several weeks until they are mustered out, when they will be taken to their Pennsylvania homes In a body. SICK AXD WOUNDED.

Mls3 Duncan, the President's niece, who has been confined to her room with a cold for four days, has recovered and was out last evening for the first time. The President said to-day he had heard with great regret of the death of Colonel Hawkins, whose gallantry In the Philip pines was so marked as to command especial mention by nia superior omcers.

To-day she went driving twice, the iTesident holding the reins both times. Their route to-day was up the Saranac valley, and Mrs. McKinley returned from the drive very much refreshed. The deer-hunting season will open one week from next Tuesday and President McKinley will have an .opportunity of enjoying the sport, as some of the fine hunting ground In the Adirondacks is within a few hours Journey. The deer are so numerous this year that they are coming out of the woods into the clearings and causing much damage to the crops of farmers. The President to-day had a call from Dr. A. I. Richardson, of West Chasey, an old farmer seventy years of age, who walked all the way from his home to the hotel, a distance of fifteen miles, to "shake hands with the ITcsident of the United States."

Halloivay, Mr. J. O. Halloway and Miss Hallowuy, of Baltimore, and Governor H. C. Smith, of St. Albans, Vt., who came over on a steam yacht.

IRON TRADE CONDITIONS

DELAYS IN DELIVERY STILL THE PREDOMINANT FEATURE Trlcesi Continue to Rlae and Labor and Haw Material Are Searce Orders Received from Abroad NEW YORK. Aug. 3. In Its review of trade conditions the Iron Age to-day says: "The rising tendency continues unabated. and It is a question whether delays in de liveries have not actually become worse than better lately. Scarcity of labor, scarci ty of coke, of pig Iron, billets, wire rods, is troubling makers from step to step upward to the final consumer. Sales for delivery during the first half of 1900 and beyond are growing more numerous, thus showing that many buyers are willing to pay present prices for the certainty of securing their supplies. So far as deliveries during the rest of the year are concerned the mainte nance of prices is conceded by the majority, while every day brings accessions to the ranks of those who hold that we are to see a considerably . higher level yet lor urgent requirements. This seems to be the situation in pig iron, both in foundry and in Bessemer grades, and for delivery during the next few months there has been a further advance. Pittsburg records sales of Bessemer pig as high as $21 valley furnace. "Steel continues exceedingly scarce and high prices are being paid for prompt shipments, notably for open-hearth stocks. It Is significant that one rolling mill has Just given an order for the importation from England of 7C0 tons of open-hearth billets, and that other Inquiries are at hand. Or ders for forelen onen-hparth wire rods were placed by screwmakers some time since, ana there are indications that additional quan tities mav be drawn from Europe. While the capture of many large bridge orders for foreign markets has attracted a good deal of general attention, striking progress has been very quietly made in extending a market for buildings and sheds. American firms have asked for and obtained tne aesigns proposed and have remodeled them, ruaranteeinir ability to re&lst the loads spec ified. By this means the structures nave been much Hehtened and it has been possi ble to secure work at a higher per pound rate than that offered European builders. We understand that building? have been thus cantured not alone for the- uest In dies, Chile, Peru and Central America, but also for European countries. We learn that one firm alone placed contracts ag gregating 3,000 tons In July. Among tne bridce orders in the market we note eight bridges for Japan. They were designed by American consulting engineers and win, therefore, be taken here." EXPORTS FALLING' OFF. Iron nnd Steel Mannfacturers Too Bny Supplying Home Demand. PITTSBURG, Aug. 3. The falling off of exports of Iron and steel for June, forms a remarkable chapter In our com merclal history, says the American Manu facturer and Iron World. The sole rea pon assigned Is that the domestic demand was too great and material could not be srared for foreign shipment. Many good orders have been turned down by manufac turers for export, but a large percentage of orders for future delivery will be taken care of. The export of steel fell off from 43.561 tons, at a valine of SS72.GG4, In June, im, to 1J),506 tons, value $430,401, In June, 1S99. Billets, Ingots and blooms fell off from 4.149 tons, value $78.5). to 1.735 tons, value 141.826. for the same period. There were some increases in exports, however, r.ota blv steel sheets, which increased from 3,915, r:i rounds, value JG0.312. to 8.781.222 pounds. value $123.VR Tin and terne plates and taeeers tin also showed an Increase, rang ing from 2.270 pounds, value $120, to 9,61)3 pounds, value $319. The infant tin-plate industry will be pushed with greater vigor when the home demand diminishes, and it will not be surprising if it will eventually lead many of the Industries in exporting material. There was a notable Increase in the export of wire rod?, frrm 2.7C3.670 pounds, value $2j5,1?9, to S.372,530 pounds. value $.V7,6Zo. The imports of Iron ore for June. isx. as compared with the same month this year fhow an increase from Zn" tons to 43,bJ tons, and frcm to $73,160 in value. Imports of bar iron Increased from 4.is,df,6 pounds to 5. 2r.fi. 4 47 for the same period, at a value of $77,710 to $114,000. In fact, many finished materials show an Increase In Imports, notably tin plate, from 8.2..9b4 pounds, val ue $183,559, to 10.3r,442 pounds, value $2f9,M?. Ineots and blcoms. wire and wire rods ana many steel products show an increase in imports as evidence that the country is not producing all it can consume. Heath Hawaiian Rank. NEW YORK. Aug. 3. Persons in this city Interested in the organization of the nation al bank recently established at Honolulu are enthusiastic over the outlook for the new institution. Terry S. Heath, assistant post master general, who is in the city, said: We have already shipped $750,000 in cur rency, with which the bank can begin business in earnest as soon as the final for malities are complied with. Delay has been caused by the omission to obtain certain signatures to papers which are required by the Hawaiian government before the charter can be issued. The oversight has been corrected, but not In time to carry out our plans as at first formulated. Hawaii presents an attractive field for the employment of banking capital. Merchants there h?.ve never had adequate banking facilities. There has not been half enough money in circulation, and for years the ciwtom has been to rediscount paper In San Francisco and New York to meet the demand of local tiade; In other words, money has been forwarded from San Francisco and New York to carry on the business of the islands. I Obtained the charter for the bank in 1S93. in the belief that the inlands vould be ultimately annexed to the United States." May Not Form Trnt. CHICAGO, Aug. 3 The Record says: "W. R. Dodds, of W. R. Dodds & Co.. says the laundry combine of which his firm Is the representative In this city has been abandoned until more favorable times. W. A. Vincent, attorney and principal promoter of the plow trust, claims to have secured the renewal of many of the expired options and will make further efforts to organize a plow combine. F. II. Herhold, a large chair manufacturer, who favors forming a trust, says he haa heard nothing for weeks concerning the deal and as far as he knows it is all off. Although there are no representatives of the proposed thrasher combine in this city. It Is said the scheme was dropped some time ago. It is said that the anti-trust laws which seem about to be enacted in different States have caused capitalists to hesitate before rutting money into the proposed organizations."

Roberts, who is In New York. estimated the gold cutput of Australia for the present year at ten millions In excess of that for 1SS3. He said: "Australia will

doubtless continue to have' trade obliga

tions to settle with England. Since tne prospects point to a continuance of the balance of trade between this country and Europe being in our favor, it Is my opinion that England will go right along sending us consignments or Australian go:a aireci. We shall have all the gold we need. Our position Is that of a creditor, but If other countries are willing to make it worth our while we may make other terms. Competition for White Lend Trust.

TREASURE FROM ALASKA. Gold Miner Retnrn vrlth at Least $l.0,OM In Their Passesslon. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 3. The steamer Charles Nelson arrived from St. Michael's, via Dutch Harbor, to-day, thirty-one and a half days from St. Michael's. The Nelson carried 111 passengers and the wealth of her passengers Is estimated at about $150,000. The amount of the treasure sent down In care of the purser Is not known, but it Is generally understood to be large. A detachment of soldiers of the Third United States Artillery arrived on the Nelson. The news from Dawson Is not the most encouraging. .Thousands of men are Idle, loafing on every street corner and in every saloon. The government has already sent many back to their former homes. Cap Nome has the appearance of great success. There are many reports and some froofs of gold being found there, but nothng sure as to the amount. Among the passengers on the Nelson was Paul C. Pot ter, of this city. He reports that there ia little known at St. Michael's of the Cape Nome discoveries.

He said: "I came out from Dawson with a man named James Haines, or Hayes, who for two years has been at work on a survey extending from the southern boun dary cf Alaska to the Yukon river, and I have every reason to believe that this work was done under the direction of the United States government.

SUN'S RAYS UTILIZED

REFRACTORY METALS SHRIVELED BEFORE A GIAST MIRROR. Invention That Is Expected to Revolutionize All Ideus of WeldlnK 10,000 Degree of Heat. CHICAGO, Aug. 3. One of the largest glass reflectors In the world is housed In a little wooden shack on the prairie near Kedzle avenue and Fulton street. Its area is tlghty-four square feet and diameter 121 inches. The most wonderful thing about It is that It can be changed at will from a mere plane mirror to a concave mirror. The mirror, or reflector. Is the Invention of Knute C. Widcen, a young Swedish civil engineer. He claims to have generated a greater degree of heat already than ever before has been producd, and his apparatus is still In a crude condition. A reporter who visited the workshop with Mr. WIdeen yesterday saw strips of antimony and other metala shrivel like dry grass in a flame and disappear in gases when held beneath a lens In the focus of the big reflector. The Idea Is an old one, but the value of the Invention lies in the cheapness of the apparatus. WIdeen claims to be able to manufacture such reflectors for the market at $300 each, and with a group of them he says it will be possible to concentrate such a degree of heat on any desired point as will revolutionize all ideas of welding and the use of heat for generating energy. The process by which the huge glass plate is curved to form a reflector is said to be extremely eimple, but the secret is closely guarded. The glaas Is mounted on a huge casting and behind it is a cavity several inches deep. It is here that the apparatus for curving the glass is contained. At present the mirror is hung by chains and blocks from a crossbeam in the roof of the ehed, and by means of braces can be placed at any required angle. When in use the front and top of the shed are thrown open and the mirror Is placed in position to catch the sun's rays. A broad path of brilliant white light shoots from it to a focus in which the weeds and grass shrivel. In this focus a reducing lens ia placed, and the point of the second focus is a solar furnace. The inventor is handicapped at present by lack of a large reducing lens. He has been able to secure one only eight Inches in di ameter, and has sent to Germany for one of larger size. With this he expects to secure a heat of 10,000 degrees over an area a foot square. Mr. WIdeen Is confident he has more than doubled the advantages of the electric furnace. "With the electric furnace, which pro duces the highest heat of any of the de vices for manufacturing purposes. he said. the area of intense heat is extremely small ana it has reached Its highest potentiality. with reflected heat, the Intensity and area are only questions of equipment. A small sun glass will ignite under or dry grass, and with a reflector of 10i square feet I am able to burn tantalum, erbium, osmium, molyb denum, antimony and half a dozen other metals whose fusion requires the highest temperature and some of which never have been melted before. 'Not only that, but the meltlne is In stantaneous. There Is no fire, no smoke, no waiting, none of the difficulties that accom pany ordinary combustion. With my dis covery the obstacle of cost is removed. I can build a reflector for $500. I have mount ed here the largest niece of nlate class I could secure, and, as anyone can see, am able to curve it into a reflector almost in stantly. I can curve a polished sheet of metal in the same way. and within a short time will have a metal reflector of 300 square feet set up. With five or six such reflectors I will be able to generate a decree of heat seemingly impossible to obtain." Mr. WIdeen was educated In Stockholm He lives at 267 Michigan avenue and has ceen in tnis country for six months. WORSE THAN A WILD MUSTANG Newport Society Finds the Automo bile Hard to Control. NEWPORT, R. I., Aug. 3. Automobile ac cidents were as thick to-day as small straw berries at the bottom of a basket. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, an expert whip, who has been taking lessons some time, essayed this morning to make the circuit of the drive way at Crossways. It was her first experi ence in driving an automobile alone. She miscalculated. The result was the machine started up the front steps, and, being re versed, got so cramped that the crossbars between the axle were nearly doubled. The vehicle was taken to the automobile sta tion, as it cannot be used again until it is tnorougniy overnauiea. Airs, risn was somewhat bruised, but will be out again in a dav or two. Joseph Widener, of Philadelphia, was at the automobile station this morning and at tempted to run out a vehicle. He miscalculated and instead brought up the car riage against a wooaen partition with a bounce that broke its supports and part of the walls. Then the automobile went against sliding door, tearing a hole in It that looked as if a small locomotive had gone through. Mr. Widener was not hurt nor was the vehicle greatly Injured. Oliver neimoni s automobile lost half a dozen spokes to-day by a collision, and. hav ing been sprung in the recent race against time with W. K. vanderblit. Jr.. has also gone to the hospital. Col. John Jacob Astor s vehicle also lost two or three spokes by a ciasn. RECRUITS FOR CONVENTS. Arrival at New York of TTrenty-EIght Yonns Girls from Ireland. NEW YORK. Aug. 3. Twenty-eight young girls arrived here yesterday from Ire land on the Teutonic to become Sisters of Charity. They were recruited by Mother Mechtllda and Sister Teresa. Twenty-three of them are going to the Sisters of Charity at Galveston, Tex., two to the house of the order at, Victoria, one to Houston and two to St. Louis. The sister and brother-in-law of Maggie Skelly, whose home was County Longford, came from Fall Kiver to see her for the purpose cr trying to induce her to give up convent life and go home with them.
