LOWRIE. tiWUTF STEEL TRUST PROFITS I'llLUMIN WHY HtiltiltT Full THE YKAIl Wi. j The iiutlriok Hald to lie Bright Ooort Demand fr Products frtcea Have Not Been Advanced. NEW yohk. January . A prelim Inary report covering the operatlona of the Cnlted State teel Corporation since it camp Into existence ten months ami, wan mailt1 to the stockholders to day, it won a forerunner to the more extemted tvmtme to be submitted at the annual general meeting on Febru ary 17th and wan deplaned to famil iarise the srmreowner with the finan cial status of the company and the trade situation, and the trade market where It buya ttd sella. The report, signed by both Charlee M. Schwab and Elbert II. Gary, declared the present business and future outlook, viewed ahead through 1802, to be highly sat isfactory. The report said: "The outlook for the year 1802 I very bright. Everything In dicates tbat the facilities or each sub sldlary company will be taxed to the ut most to supply the demand that Is lte- Ing made. The actual business now booked, and of which shipment Is being called for faster than it can be supplied amounts to more than half the total combined annual capacity of all the companies. The heavier products, like rails, billets, plates and structural ma terlal, are sold up to the productive ca pacity of the mills until nearly the end of tne year, in the more highly nn ished products the consumption In each case Is greater now than at the corre sponding period In 1901, which, it should be remembered, was an abnormally heavy year. The expectation, there' fore, of those closely connected with the manufacture and sale of these highly finished products is for a demand even larger than that of 1901, and up to the limit of production. Discussing prices the report said they could have been advanced, but that It was decided to be better policy to refrain from doing so. The reference to prices follows: "The demand for products has been so great that prices could easily have been advanced, in deed, higher prices have been volun tarily offered by customers who were anxious for the Immediate execution of orders, but the companies have fairly maintained the position of not advanc Ing prices, believing that the existing prices were suluclent to yield a fair re turn on capital and maintain the prop erties satisfactorily In physical condl Hon, and that the collateral advantage to he gamed in the long run by refusing to advance prices would be of substan tial and lasting value, not only to the com"anies out also to the general busi ness of the country." The report asserted that this policy as to prices had not onl a reassuring effect upon the trade, but contributed to me restoration or confluence in the gen eral business situation. NEW COLONIAL GOVERNOR Vice-Admiral Sir Harry Uawson, who was commander of the Channel Squar1 ron from 1898 to 1901, has been appoint ed Governor of New South Wales. This is the first time in history thut the Government has appointed an Admiral to a colonial Governorship, wh'oh had long been a sore point with the ntivv. Vlce-Admlnil Uawson holds one of the longest war service records in the British navy, having spent forty-four years, m me service. As a ca-Jet and midshipman he served in the China war, and was present nt the capture of the Pei-ho forts and the taking ot Peking. He was mentioned in dis patches, and soon afterward was se ciely wounded. In I860 he was in command of 1300 Chinese troops In the defense of Ning Po against the Taiping rebels. In the same year he Jumped overboard at night in the Shanghai and saved the life of a marine, beinf, rublicly thanked for his gallantry by his Captain. During the Egyptian w, r of 1882 Captain Rawson was principal naval transport olilcer. From 1S9 to ltOS he was commander in chief on the Cape of Good Hope and West Coast of Alrica station. While occupying that post he conducted the operations of the naval brigade at Mwell, on the Zan zibar coast, in 1895, and in the follow ing year bombarded Zanzibar and de posed the pretender to the throne, win ning special commendation on both oc casions. He added still further to his reputation by the part he took In the expedition to Bmln. LIKE THIRTY CENTS. An appeal In a novel suit, in which the amount In dispute Is only 30 cents, was taken from the County Court to the Supreme Court In Vancouver, 13. C. Already several hundreds of dollarn In costs have been incurred in the case. and two of the best known business houses In the city are Involved. John W. Peck & Co.. wholesale clothiers, sold a bill of goods to L. Iu binowltz & Co. for $33. Their first bill, tendered with the goods, called for a 6 per cent discount for cash in ten days. ituoinowitz claims to have paid the amount within that time, and submlu Mb check as proof. The selling drin claims that only 5 per cent discount should haveNbeen allowed, and asked for an additional 30 cents. Rublno wltz ordered the manager of the Peck company out of his store, and then thf suit began. Judgment was given for Peck in the Small Debts Court, and again in the County Court, Rubinowltz appeal on each occasion. Now he Is appealing to the Supreme Court and Js also nsklng I for costs incurred. Neither firm will ibr.ck down, and the case will be keenly contested through nil the processes ot law, no matter how much the cost. HOPE'S COMEDY. Anthony Hope's comedy, "Pilkerton's Peerage," has been produced at li e Garrlck Theater. It Is a political satire oti a self-made millionaire's intrlgtus to obtain a title. The comedy is full of brilliant dialogue, but Its develop ment Is unsatisfactory, the story being rather weak and thin. Pllkerton is K presented as having both English and American Interests. The audience wnjs curious to know whence Mr. Hope haa drawn his model. Arthur Bouchler, Robert fihaw, Henry V. Esmond and MlM E' a Moore gave capable ac counts ' ' the leading parts. The play was well received. This lw Anthony Hope's first venture in writing directly for the stage, aside from "The Adventure of Lady Ureul.t, ' In which Murgaret Anglln made a hit 111 this city. Still any reader of Hope's novels and romances knows that he ought to make a good playwright, as he is the living master of bright dialogue. However, the training of the novelist is against success in plaV-wrltlng, an I It Is only the author with strong dra matic ability who produces a strong play. A French conscript, Jules La Plere, 1ms been excused from three-years' ser vice because of ugliness. It wrh held that his appearance would make his comrades laugh, and thus Interfere with discipline. in m m CHINA The Jh.hii Ins.. nr. n) According In n Toku llput h.

Kpciety with which he was connected, and ue the funds In sending Abroad able young men belonging to the so ciety to be educated. Pun Yat-sen wan asked as to the ttuth of the above rumor, and, al though he was very guarded In his iv ply, admitted that the recent changes In China hud given him pause, and that he was waiting with Seen Inter eat to see what their ultimate trend would be. "I am well sastlafled at preaant," he said, "with conditions in China, and am content to be Inactive mi long Ha the much-heralded plana of reform are carried out. The action of the allli-n Powers in China, culminating In ihe leturu the court to Peking, will doubtless have some effect on the fu ture administration of the Manchu Government. But It remains to be seen whether the Government will be strong and honest enough to carry out its re form program. "It has been shown In the past that the government, under pressure, has sometimes promised many reforms, but has afterwards been unwilling or un able to keep Its promise's. Moreover, It Is doubtful as yet whether there are any men attached to the court of suffi ciently broad views to counteract ar dent prejudices. LI Hung-chang, the most able and liberal diplomatist China had, Is gone, and It was seen that even his efforts were directed towards bol stering up the Manchu dynasty by means of concessions to Russia, at the expense of the other Powers, and the ultimate danger of peace In the Par East. The decision of the question ot Manchuria will afford some Indication of the sincerity of the present Govern ment. "Many think that Manchuria should be sacredly kept as' a Buffer State against the encroachments of Russia, but there Is a large representation of Chinese thinkers who believe that, even at the price of the sacrifice of Man churia, Russia offers the best alliance for China. Others, again, argue that ary alliance China should make wlih nny one Power would antagonize the rest. Japan Is probably as near China, in Interests and certainly In race, as any nation, and yet It Is known that, while Japan has the friendliest feelings towards China, she Is not prepared to enter Into any entangling alliance with her or anv other Power. At the same time, both nations mnv nialntnln a cordial entente, which will be mutu allly beneficial The situation is In teresting, especially when one consid ers In the event of a serious rising on the part of the mass of the Chinese against the Manchu dynasty, the prox imity of Russia, with Its trani-Slberlan railway for the pouring of troops upon the frontier. "The question would then be wheth er Russia was the friend of the Man chus or the friend of the revolution aries. These are great possibilities, but. so far. they do no more thnn In terest me as an observer. I am per fectly satisfied with the nresent con dition of affairs In China." (Continued from Page 2.)

The scenery, amidst which the lot of the Jamaica missionary Is cast, yields to that of no other part of the world In beauty, livery variety of tropical plant Is here to entice the guze, to satisfy the fancy, and as he drives along well-kept government roods, he may see at one time perched high above him on some rock at the side the characteristic hut of the native, with a cocoanut palm or mango tree standing near to sentinel It, or another time groups of the grace ful bamboo, like huge tufts of bright green feathers, or again stretches of banana plantation or acres of sugar cane showing him whence the real de velopment of wealth for Jamaica should come. Or it muy be that In the wilder districts he picks his careful way along narrow bridle-paths, fords one moun tain stream after another, pushes aside the masses of giant fern wet with the heavy morning dew, which meet from either side before him, struggles through the thick guinea grass, which tops his own and his horse's head, looks down occasionally from his seat in the saddle Into hundreds of feet of depth Just beneath him. almost beguiled into forgetfulness of danger by the luxuriant splendor of verdure with which the ab yss has clothed Ub precipitous sides. If mere landscape were to be considered,! It would be hard to imagine a more de lightful field of missionary labor. -Do-nahoe's Magazine. PUNISHMENT OF AN OFFICER. Secretary Root has acted on the case of Lieutenant Preston Brown, Second Infantry who was sentenced 'by court martial to be dismissed from the ser vice. It appears from the evidence that Lieutenant Brown shot a native Fili pino because bo allowed an American soldier to drown when he might easily have saved him. Secretary Root takes the ground that Lieutenant Brown's action In the mat ter, while not justifiable, was excusable under all the circumstances, and, there fore,' recommends the sentence of dis missal be commuted; Lieutenant Brown shall lose thirty-five numbers in Ills grade, and that ho shall forfeit one half of his pay for a period of ntne months. SAVED FROM TORTURE. Fred Tlner, a full-blood Shawnee In dian, alleged to have assaulted three Shawnee squaws, was tied to a stake to be burned to death by members of his tribe, men and women. He was first cruelly tortured, his face being beaten out of shape and his ears torn nearly off by squaws. Other tortures were being applied when Deputy United Slates Marshal Davis arrived from Arelbekl, I, T., quickly took In the situa tion, held the mob back with a gun and cut the thongs, backed away from the crowd with his prisoner and safely es caped to Wewoka, where Tlner was safely placed In Jail.
