The production and progress of the mining and metallurgical iudustri 5 of the United States for the year just closed are reviewed in the current number of the Engineering and Mining Journal. Coal, upon which all the other raining industries depends for fuel, is treated first. The total production was stimated at CCk,00v,Cj9 short tons an amount considerably in excess of that brought to the surface in Great Britain, and far beyond the quantity mined In any other country. Nearly the entire amount vas consumed at home, despite a material irr.)vt!i in exports. The anthracite coal Ii Id.-; of Pennsylvania contributed one-fifth of tho total. There was great development cf the bituminous deposits of Pennsylvania. West Virginia. Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and other Western States, and tho softer coal entered to a greater extent than ever b. for.? into the market for commercial and household fuel. The production and consumption of coke were also larger than ever before, chiefly on account of tho activity in tho iron and steel trades. Tho reWewer draws attention to the oil discoveries in California and Texas, and pror.oiir.res the latter the most important since oil was found in Pennsylvania. He predicts ti.:it both will have an important bearing ci: the manufacturing Interests of the fc'tatt.s named and on the Southwest. The iron trade showed a production which a few years ago would have been K gar Jed as impossible, and the quantity of IU iron exceeded the output of Great Britain and Germany combined. Paw iron, st and finished products were in an agrivg.uu parallel with that of pig iron. Tho . i. .rr.:ou3 output was not in excess of the o :::jnd, and at the end of the year the at mills and furnaces were almost all .i:.d with orders, livery Indication points t-j c-.ual prosperity in Vj02, for the larger !: ants have engagements now which it will 1' l .ire haif of tho year to complete.

Stephen Phillips to Stngc "Ulysses" nnd "I'nolo nnd Frnncescn." LONDON, Jan. 4. The two new productions of the week, "Frocks and Frills," at the Ilaymarket Theater, and "The Twin Sister' at the Duke of York's Theater, continue to prosper. II. B. Irving's performance in the latter is by far the best he has ever given. "Frocks and Frills" is held scarcely to be equal to the other plays of Sydney Grundy. It is generally described as a battle of dressmakers, as four celebrated London modistes dvide the play between themselves. Each of the dressmakers provides the costumes ,f or one act. Their rivalry arouses keener applause than do the actresses. Naturally, women are flocking to the theater and the stars' gowns are largely copied. Grace Lane is scoring considerable success in this piece. She acted with the Kenda's and her style is closely modeled after Mrs. Kendal's. Miss Lane had never previously oppearcd in London. Her portrayal of the aristocratic dressmaker is much admired. John Hare reappears to-night at the Criterion in "A Pair of Spectacles" afte- a long absence from London. Stephen Phillips, probably the busiest playwright in London, Is preparing "Paolo and Francesca" for George Alexander at the St. James, and "Ulysses" for Beerbohm Tree at her Majesty's. Both these plays will be produced in February. Mr. Phillips is also working on a play for Charles Frohman, in which Annie Bussed is likely to star, and on a tragedy for K. S. Willard. "Paolo and Francesca" will be an elaborate spectacle. Alexander will play Malatesta and Evelyn Millard is to be the Francesca. Behearsals for Ulysses" are already in full swing. The act representing Hades, with a procession of spirits, will be one of the most ambitious scenic efforts ever made In London. Southern Theatrical Circuit. ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 4. J. B. Frost and It. Coley Anderson, of Atlanta, and T. II. Bowles, of Milwaukee, made application to-day to the Superior Court for a charter for the Anderson Southern theatrical circuit with a paid-in capital stock of $100,OU0. The circuit is to comprise the following cities: Chicago, Louisville, St. Louis, Memphis. Nashville, Birmingham and Atlanta. The object of the circuit will be to buy, sell, lease and operate theaters and places of amusement and entertainment In cities of the United States, and especially those comprising the circuit. The first meeting of the organization will take place in Atlanta Feb. 4 Mnude Adams Leaves IVeTT York. NEW YORK, Jan. 4. Miss Maudje Adams closed her season of two months in "Quality Street" at the Knickerbocker Theater to-night. Miss Adams will now begin a thirty weeks' tour of the principal cities, going as far west as Chicago. Y. BI. C. A. HOTEL. One Is Planned for Xcr York That Will Cost About 9T5,000. NEW YORK. Jan. 4. Details of plans for the largest building in the world devoted exclusively to Young Men's Christian Association work were announced today by Henry M. Orne, general secretary. The building will be on West Twenty-tiiird treet and through to and on West Twenty-fourth street. The cost entire, it is estimated, will be $575,000. It will be a Young Men's Christian Association hotel In effect, containing live floors of bleeping rooms, a large restaurant nnd the customary rooms and general conveniences of a hotel. The auditorium, will .nat GOO persons. There also will be class rooms, a library, swimming pool, baths and a gymnasium. A Fortune In Ills Desk. VFW YORK. Jan. 4.

COMING ROYAL SHOW

AMERICANS HAG CR TO WITS ESS THE COIIOXATIO.V PROCESSION. London Manftions on the Route Over Which KIn? Kdward AVIH Pnss to De Rented at Fabulona Rates. PARLIAMENT TO OPEN JAN. 16 1'O.MP AXD CEREMONY TO MARK THE KING'S APPEARANCE. Sir Ernest Cassell's Gift of 91,000,000 for a Consumptive Sanatorium London "Silly" Season. LONDON, Jan. 4.The steamship offices and other American rendezvous in London are already being Inundated with applications to secure seats from which to witness the coronation procession. Nothing definite can be arranged, as the route of the procession is still unsettled. In vicinities where it is thought likely the great show will pass speculation, however, is beginning to get brisk. Those few town mansions in Park lane and in the ultra fashionable squares which will be available to visitors are being quoted at 3,000 to 4,000 for a short season, and smaller furnished houses, usually fetching 600, are on the market at 1,000 for the season. Tho leading hotels have already booked most of their rooms at advanced prices, and several of them have secured overflow hotels in anticipation of a rush. The London tradesmen openly avow that they are looking forward. to a great American harvest, but that this will not go entirely Into British pockets is evidenced by the inquiries made by many American firms regarding the purchase of stores favorably situated in the West End. XXX When King Edward opens Parliament on Jan. 16, which will be an occasion of even greater pomp and ceremony than was his last appearance in the House of Lords, one of the most interesting sessions of recent years will be begun. Before its conclusion the whole status of the Liberal party is likely to be altered and Lord Rosebery's future determined. Present Indications point to a split which no middle-road pronouncements can heal and in which Sir Edward Grey and K. H. Asquith, Sir H. 11. Fowler, R. W. Perks, R. B. Haldane and other imperialists, together with a few Unionists, will flock to Lord Rosebery's standard and initiate an organization with the hope of securing control of all the Liberal elements prior to the next general election. Temporarily this diversion of the position will greatly facilitate the government's programme, the chief item of which is the sweeping reform of parliamentary proceedings. The hopeless delay and confusion which at present characterizes all legislative efforts at Westminster have reached a point where Parliament has become ridiculous in tho eyes of the country. In the drastic recasting of the procedure many methods employed in the United States Congress will be either adopted or given a trial In modified form. Among other important features of the session will be a thorough investigation of General Buller's dismissal from command of the First Army Corps. This, doubtless, will once more involve the nation in a whirlpool of bitter controversy. Education and finance are two routine matters which will excite more than usual interest. The chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, will doubtless get all the additional war supplies he requires, though special measures will be necessary to raise them, and this will give Sir Henry Camp-bell-Bannerman's section of the opposition a full opportunity for criticising the government's policy in South Africa. Somo sanguine prophets also believe the war will be sufficiently near its end to enable the givernment to put before the nation during the session detailed plans for the settlement of South Africa. This belief, however, does not appear to be shared by the War Office. XXX The action of Sir Ernest Cassel in placing 200.Oj0 at the disposal of King Edward for charitable and utilitarian purposes, which sum will be devoted to the establishment of a sanatorium for consumptives, has brought prominently before public notice one of the most interesting characters in England. Comparisons are now drawn between Andrew Carnegie and Caspel. In this connection the Spectator says: "We hope the gift will be the precursor of many more. English millionaires do not behave well In this respect far worse, for instance, than their American rivals, who have spent this year 25,000 in the endowment of universities, colleges, libraries and art schools. It is thoroughly discreditable to us that Oxford and Cambridge lack a million apiece required for their complete equipment." Sir Ernest Cassel is an instance of those who have worked from the bottom to the top round of English life. He was born fifty years ago at Cologne. His father was a German baker. Sir Ernest entered the London financial house of Bischoffshehn & Goldsmith as a clerk, finally attaining a partnership. Ho had much to do with the great English boom in Erics and was chiehy responsible in 1SS0 for the conversion of Atlantic & Great Western rental trust into the Atlantic firse leased lines rental trust He was made a knight commander of St! Michael and St. George for important financial services to the Egyptian government, and was also decorated by Norway and Sweden for assistance rendered to railroad enterprises in those countries. Sir Ernest was interested in tho issue of the 5 per cent, loan and was among the first to put faith in the "Two-penny Tube." as one of the London underground railroads is termed. Lady Cassel, his wife, died in 1S31. While he is of a Jewish family, Sir Ernest Cassel does not belong to the Jewish community. In racing Sir Ernest has long been prominent. XXX Were the "silly season" at its height the country could not be held more firmly by tears than it Is to-day by those vital topics, ping pong and the Shakspeare-Bacon controversy. An American. Mrs. Gallup, and her Baconian cipher theory daily monopolize the columns of the Times and other papers. W. II. Mallock, Sidney Lee and hundreds of other less known ShakDearean scholars have all -come out with lengthy letters. Mrs. Gallup is now the center of a literary storm which far surpasses that raised by Ignatius Donnelly. Among her champions is Mr. Mallock, and though others bitterly denounce this latest mcrican exposition. It is sui prising to find how many able men, while unwilling to accent the correctness of Mrs. Gallup's discovery, admit that they seriously doubt if Shakspeare wrote the plays. The recently concluded National PingPon turnament has given such zest to that game that it promises to become quite a national pastime. Women take as keen interest in it as men, and special pong-pong costumes are now in vogue. Stately drawing rooms have been dismantled of their breakables in order to give the players room, while ping-pong tournaments nightly replace the almost forgotten whist parties of the last century.

XXX The Kennel Club has discharged a number of clerks for conceit in issuing of fictitious pedigrees of dogs exported to the United States, whereby they have been admitted free of duty. XXX About a week ago Mrs. Alec Tweed ie wrote an article for the Dally Mall on the selflsiincts of modern Englishmen, quot

ing an American girl as saying that English bachelors never returned women's hospitality and were otherwise remiss. By indorsing and emphasizing this view Mrs. Tweedie started a stream of correspondence and elicited several amusing replies from English young men. These retort that no English girl would ever expect men to take her to tea, the theater, for a drive In the park or give her candy or flowers, and that the American girl, by her willingness to accept euch attentions comes In for considerable criticism. Mrs. Tweedie also represented the American girl as saying she would not waste hospitality over those who would not return it. This commercialism has been greeted with jeern from various clubmen who have taken up the cudgels for their sex. XXX King Edward acted as sponsor to-day for the daughter of Wilfred Ashley, whose wife is the daughter of Sir Ernest Cassel.

AN TJNSLNKABLE SHIP. DctIcc that Closes Water-Tight Doors in Cate of Collision. NEW Y'ORK, Jan. 4.-Chief Engineer Emcl Prillwitz, of the North German Lloyd steamship Kronprinz Wilhelm, is experi menting with a new arrangement which has been placed in the ship for use in case of a collision. A small wheel abaft the pilot house is turned, and instantly hydraulic pressure closes twenty water-tight bulk-head doors in the lower part of the ship, making sixteen water-tight compartments. The fact that all the doors are closed is instantly shown on an electrical dial, on which the numbers of the doors and their location are printed. The sixteen water-tight rooms are more than enough to float the vessel in case any part of her hull is punctured. The experiments show that not more than two minutes is re quired to render the Kronprinz Wilhelm unsinkable. New Light Invented. NEW YORK, Jan. 4. It is announced, according to the Herald, that Peter Cooper Hewitt, the grandson of the philanthropist and millionaire, has Invented a new light which in some ways revolutionizes illumination methods. Briefly stated, the illuminant is the perfection of the high-power electrical, gas or vapor lamp, which until now has existed more in theory than in practice. GAGE FOR THE SENATE HE IS SUGGESTED AS A SUCCESSOR TO WILLIAM E. 31 AS OX. Hot a Candidate, hnt Might Be Induced to Accept the Honor in Case of n Deadlock. CHICAGO, Jan. 4. The Record-Herald's Washington correspondent says: "Lyman J. Gage for United States senator from Illinois to succeed William E. Mason is the latest suggestion heard from the field of Illinois politics. Since it became known that ho was to retire from the Treasury Department Mr. Gage has received a number of letters from a number of well-known Republicans of Illinois, suggesting that he permit the use of his name for the senatorship and promising him their support. Secretary Gage has not encouraged those friends. He has, in fact, declined to permit an announcement to be made to the effect that he Is a candidate. "At the same time it is known to his friends that he would be willing to accept the post if the Republicans cf Illinois wish him to take it. Mr. Gage did not seek the secretaryship of the treasury, but accepted it when it was offered to him. He has never sought public office and Js not going to break his record now. Despite tho pressure from his friends to induce him to authorize his candidacy, it is probable that he will maintain to the end his present attitude. The most that he has so far said to his friends is that if the Republicans of Illinois find thmselves embarrassed in making a selection from the three or four good men who are now candidates for the senatorship, and should happen to turn to him for a solution of the problem, he would not say them nay. This is as far as Mr. Gage is likely to go at any stage of the campaign. "The suggestion brought forward by certain Illinois Republicans of their own motion has been heard of and discussed in political circles here. It is agreed on all sides that the Republican party of Illinois could not do better than to choose Mr. Gage for senator. President Roosevelt long ago decided to stand perfectly neutral in the Illinois senatorial contest, and to insist that federal officeholders shall not use their official influence in favor of any candidate. "At the same time it is known that he would be very glad to see Mr. Gage come to the Senate. For the ability and character of the present secretary of the treasury he has the highest respect, and in his opinion Mr. Gage would make a strong and useful member of tho upper branch of Congress. "Members of the Cabinet who have served with Mr. Gage are warm in his praises. They know nothing of Illinois politics, and of course do not presume even to suggest what the Republicans of that State should do. But they all feel certa'n that if Mr. Gage were to come to the Senate he would at once take high rank in that body. "It is pointed out that Mr. Gage is now a national figure. His reputation is as broad as the country. Five years of service at the head of the greatest department of the government has brought him Into close contact with men and measures. He knows the great government machine from top to bottom. He is a recognized authority on all financial questions, and in the Senate would be able to be of service to his State and the country to an unusual degree. For him it would not be necessary to spend a whole term In securing a place of influence, but could acquire it at once. "The Illinois friends of Secretary Gage believe that he is likely to be made the compromise candidate. They argue that the three-cornered contest between Senator Mason, Representative Hopkins and exController Dawes is likely to develop something like a deadlock, and In such an event they believe Mr. Gage's name could be brought forward and sweep the field. It is only as a receptive and possible compromise candidate that Mr. Gage may be regarded as a factor in the situation. "Senator Mason and Representative Hopkins are here, and each of them is confident of being the next senator from Illinois. Mr. Dawes has not been heard from, but at latest accounts he was equally hopeful." Will Xot Orgnniie a. Dnnk. NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Private dispatches from Chicago saying that Secretary Gage would organize an international banking house in this city upon his retirement from the Cabinet are denied by Frank A. Vanderllp, whose name had been mentioned in connection with the alleged project, says the Tribune. Henry Ilrndley Plant's Will. NEW YORK, Jan. 4.Justice Leventritt, in the Supreme Court, announced a decision to-day in the action brought by Mrs. Mary J. Plant, widow of Henry Bradley Plant, the founder of the Plant system of railways and steamships, against the executors and trustees of the will. Justice Leventritt decided that the will should be probated and established in this State, on the ground that Mr. Plant was a resident of New York at the time of his death. The will was executed in Connecticut a few days before Mr. Plant's death, and was offered for probate there. Mrs. Plant maintained that the probate there was Invalid. In tho will she was left only a life annuity of $30,000, and the effect of Justice Leventrltt's decision will be to give her full dower right, amounting to about 17,000.000. Sn'ibary'B Hondsmen' Afraid. GRAND RAriDS, Mich.. Jan. 4. The bondsmen of ex-City Attorney Lant K. Salsbury, convicted of bribery in the water supply scandal, and now seeking a new trial, to-day notified the court that they would no longer be responsible for him" and asked that he bo taken into custody. The wine bondsmen were on the bond of Stilson V. MacLeod, who has confessed his connection with the case, and they took like action in regard to him.

TRAITORS TÖ COUNTRY

It E 31 A II Iv A 11 LE PROCLAMATION SIGNED II V AMERICAN SOLDIERS. Appeal to "Dear Felloiv-Conutrjinen" to Desert the Army and Join the insnrgent Filipinos. ONE OF THE SIGNERS TRIED CONVICTED OF TREASON AND GIVEN A LIFE SENTENCE. Verdict, However, AVns Set Aside ly General Chaffee, Because Conclusive Proof Was Lacking. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. The War Department has received from the Philippines copies of a remarkable proclamation, signed with the names of nine Americans seven of them stated as being in the United States military service inviting American soldiers to desert and join the ranks of the Filipino soldiery. The text of the document follows: "To whom it may concern: "Dear Fellow-countrymen After many months among tho Filipino people, studying their customs and characters, we, the undersigned, have come to the conclusion that the time has arrived for us to break the silence and let you know the real truth so that you will see the folly of the continuation of fighting these people who are defending their country against their cruel American invaders in the same manner in which our forefathers did against England in those glorious days of our grand and noble liberator, Gen. George Washington. "Since the day we were led by our conscience and presented ourselves to the Philippine authorities we have received the best of treatment and we are enjoying a life of luxury without having to put our lives in danger as do you, who still remain in the. American ranks figting for an un just cause which sooner or later must surely prove disastrous, as It did to the Spanish, notwithstanding that they knew the country and customs of the people better than the Americans do. "For above-mentioned reasons and also that the war may soon end, we ask the men of the American army stationed in these islands, to present themselves to the Philippine authorities as we did, thereby showing yourselves to be true Americans upholding the policy of Washington and the Monroe doctrine against the ambitious policy of President McKinley, who for two years has carried on this cruel war, spilling the Innocent blood of thousands of American soldiers, and with what object? To fill the pockets of Mark Hanna and several other American capitalists who have been for years and are now ruling America to-day, or in other words, changing your blood for gold and robbing many a loving mother or wife of son or husband, thereby making many a once happy home sad and miserable. "Before we close let us tell you that near every town there are always stationed forces of Filipino troops to whom, should you so desire, you can present yourselves with or without your rifles, and to avoid danger, it is best to hide it in a secure place and after you have presented yourself, inform the Filipino officer or chief of the guerrillas and they will recover it and pay you some money in return. With this we conclude, wishing you the best of fortune." The following signatures are attached to the proclamation: Harry Horal Alman, Company K; John Blake, trumpeter. Company B, Twenty-eighth United States Infantry; Frank L. Clark, Company F, Twenty-first Infantry; J. Thomas Kreider, corporal. Thirty-eighth United States Volunteers; Charles Buchanan, Company B, Twenty-eighth United States Volunteers; Harry Richter, Sixth United States Artillery; Charles Wright, hospital corps; Fitzhugh Smith, John Ryan, Fourth Regiment. John T. Kreider, one of the signers of this proclamation, was tried recently by military commission in the Philippines on a charge of treason, and the records of the court-martial have just been received at the War Department. The preponderance of proof, said General Chaffee, in reviewing the case, was in favor of the contention of the accused that he was held by the insurgents as a prisoner and took no part In operations against the United States, gave no aid and comfort to the enemy, made reasonable effort to escape and was compelled by his captors under legal duress to sign the above proclamation by threats of violence in case he refused. "While no treasonable intent or overt act is established against the accused by competent evidence," said Gen. Chaffee, "it, however, remains to be remarked that it is the duty of every American soldier to face Impending danger of death rather than sign a treasonable proclamation even if it be prepared, as was the one in this case, by the enemy. Nor should he do any other act that might have even a seeming of giving the enemy encouragement. The true soldier not only takes the risks of battle, but all other risks of life growing out of any and all Incidents of war, and accepts the chance of life or death rather than do aught to injure his country's cause or dishonor the uniform lie wears." The military commission found Kreider guilty of the charge of treason and sentenced him to confinement at hard labor for life, but General Chaffee, because of the absence of conclusive proof that the accused had committed an overt act such an act being necessary to consummate the technical offense of treason disapproved the sentence and ordered the prisoner stt at liberty. Jurisdiction of Provost Conrt. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. In view of the recent establishment of seven separate military brigades in the Philippines, Gen. Chaffee, commanding the division, has issued a general order providing that provost courts may be established when necessary in those portions of the archipelago not yet under complete civil control. Such courts will have jurisdiction to punish by imprisonment, with or without hard labor, for a period not exceeding two years, or by a fine not exceeding l.oOO pesos, or by both, such imprisonment and fine to be at the discretion of such court. It also is provided that the sentences of provost courts don't require approval, but may be mitigated or remitted by the commanding generals of the separate brigades, or by the department commander. Want Troops to Remain. MANILA, Jan. 4. General Grant recently decided, owing to the lack of suitable quarters for troops at Bacacay and because the place Is apparently peaceful, he would remove the company of soldiers stationed there. The announcement of this decision has caused a protest from all the business men in Manila and tho American and Span ish business men of Bacacay have sent a joint telegram to General Chaffee, asking protection and declaring that it will be impossible for them to remain there should the troops be withdrawn. The Filipino civil authorities are anxious that the troops should go, averring that the native constabulary affords sufficient protection. Admiral Ileniey's Finns. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. The Navy Department to-day received a cablegram announcing the departure of Rear Admiral Remey, aboard his flagship Brooklyn, from Nagasaki, Japan, for Woosung, China. The Brooklyn will start homeward with Admiral Remey soon after the Rainbow, which has been Atting out at the New York yard, arrives on the Asiatic station. The question as to whether Rear Admiral Rodges or Evans will have charge of the Philippine squadron has not yet been de-' termin'd. Rear Admiral Evans will sail about the middle of March for the Philippines. Praise for Company C. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. Adjutant General Corbin to-day received from General Chaffee, at Manila, a copy of a general order Is3ued at Calbayog. Samar, by Col. Charles F.

Kirkman, Twenty-fifth Infantry, who was arrested in Manila on charges made by local merchants, has been released from custody and will return to the United States.

ANOTHER CHINESE EDICT DOWAGER KMPKHSS ATTEMPTING TO CONCILIATE FOREIGNERS. AVill Receive Women of the Diplomatic Corps nml "Will Permit Them to View Her Entry Into Pckiii. PEKING, Jan. 4. The dowager Empress has issued another edict displaying a desire to conciliate foreigners. She says friendly relations with the ministers should be resumed immediately upon the court's return to Peking, wherefore it is desirable that the Emperor grant an audience, and orders that an early date be fixed for the reception of the ministers. He Majesty recalls the pleasure Ehe experienced twice in receiving the ladies of the diplomatic corpä, and announces that she will soon arrange another reception. The edict mentions the hall In which the Emperor will receive the ministers. It is in the Forbidden City and is the same hall where the members of the Council and the highest nobles arc received. This conforms with the peace treaty. It is reported that a building along the route of the procession will be provided where the foreign ladies may witness the court's re-entry into Peking, by order of the dowager Empress. This is a remarkable innovation. To-day's edict confirms the report that two missionaries were victims in the Kaanan massacre and orders the vigorous punishment of the persons concerned in the outrage. The Foreign Office has received a petition signed by a multitude of Chinese merchants In the United States requesting the government to oppose the re-enactment of the Chinese exclusion law. The petitioners assert that the best people in the United States are opposed to the law and that only the coterie surrounding President Roosevelt favor it; that all Chinese entering the country are regarded and treated as criminals; that both sexes are stripped and examined for disease and that the feelings of the respectable Chinese are outraged by the ordeals; and it is further alleged that many delicate persons have died as the result of this treatment. The proposed measure to prohibit Chinese from crossing the United Slates in order to enter Mexico and South America, where they have interests, will greatly damage trade, it is believed.Mut Pay Tribut Tnxei. ARDMORE, I. T., Jan. 4. Since the ruling of Judge Townsend that the intercourse laws are valid, the tribal authorities are collecting tribal taxes for the first time since the merchants obtained an injunction against the Indian officials some time asro restraining them from closing their stores for refusing to pay these taxes. In some instances the authorities report that merchants still refuse to pay the tax, and they will be ejected from the domlan as intruders. Noncitizens will appeal from Judge Townsend's decision, but ptnding this appeal the tribal authorities are seeking to enforce collection of taxes. Cnn Company Plant Abandoned. COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 4. The local branch of the American Can Company has been closed down and the stock and machinery Is being moved to the Illinois Can Company, of Chicago, where the business of the Columbus branch will hereafter be taken care of.

ompany j FEARS OF tUttOFtAWS APPREHENSIVE THE UNITED STATES AVII.I, VNIJERSEI.L. THEM. Result of Prof, l'rnnk Parsons Obnervations In Thirty-Six Cities ' Army Oillcer Kills n Student. BERLIN, Jan. 4. Prof. Frank Parsons, of Boston, is here. After studying the industrial conditions of thirty-six European cities he found in all the countries some apprehension that the United States is likely to undersell in all the open markets. He says Austria especially is f et ling Insecure, so much so that great manufacturers and financiers are unwilling to contribute capital for new ventures except in small amounts, as the United States Is fixing the prices of rubber goods, bicycles, soaps, photographic materials and several lines "f machinery. Almost equal concern regardins American competition exists in Italy, but in Germany "Professor Parsons finds that the manufacturers feel able to take care of themselves. The thing here that astonishes Trofessor Parsons most is the massive health and good spirits of the men whb are working sixteen and seventeen hours daily for 00 and C3 cents a day under conditions which would not be tolerated In America. Prof. Parsons has gone exhaustively Into the question of workmen's food and hi.j general conclusion is that while Germans, Austrians and Italians are underfed. Americans are overfed, almost to gluttony. The professor will go to Boston at the end ef the present month. XXX The new year's prognostications of th financial and industrial journals are doleful. They describe the outlook ns confusing. Taking into account the tariff hostility of Russia and Austria, the compe title n of the United States and the intense depression at home, thTc are slight grounds for expecting immediate improvement. xxx The Prussian government will ask the Vatican authorities to restrain the Poli-h. priests from engaging in anti-German apitations, and will request Cardinal Ratnpolla, the papal secretary of state, to pursue the sime policy in Prussian Polard that is followed in Russian Poland. Thrro is some doubt here as to whether Cardinal Itampolla. whose anti-German sniti:nnt.s are supposed to influence his policy, will do anything of the sort. XXX Anti-Prussian demonstrations In the G.tlieian district have caused the German ambassador at Vienna, Prince Von Eulenberg, to protest to Count Goluchowski. the Austrian imperial minister of foreign affairs, who told the ambassador that Austria-Hungary was unable to repress tho demonstrators or prevent similar outbreaks In the future, because th Galician provincial Iiet Is an autonomous constltu tional body. x x x The naval construction bureau estimates that the fall in the price of steel will sava the government 1,:'') marks cn each of the five battleships not laid down, and will also save sums ranging from 2.V." to Z),(y marks In the case of vessels now ia course of construction.
