. IRON -AND, STEEL,. :
■ Under the head of ','Flght , f or tho. Iron.
Trade," it calls attention to -the; fact
that tho United States Is now tho world's
largest producer of pis-iron ,r.nd steel.,
and says: "It will be noted that the
United rKingdom has lost ground, pro
ducing 326,749; tons less in 1500 than in ISM>.
the. total for Great Britain beins nearly
5.000,000 tons less than in America. An
unsatisfactory feature in the British iron
and steel trade is that in 1900 we taported
more iron and steel than In any previous
year, and exported less, while the: Ur'W
States exported more, than, ever." Tha
tables accompanying this '^.'statement
shows the pi£-iron production of. 1900 to
be: United States, 13,789,243 tons; United

nnd\ expressed regret at the manner In
which , Bishop Randolph's visit to TOI
: Hamsburg has been . desc?lb<»d fn the
papers as ft mission to investigate "the
Roberts-Tyl6r controversy/'.
It aoppars to him : that thfs statement
is calculated to create . the impression
• that' he. as; president: of William* and
[Mary, ia a; party to , some controveraty
I with Mr. Roberts; 1 of .Which r the Bishop
{ Is tc» be.jttdge, v,'hicb is not tho case.
I . rPhe college is nonsectarian, and -.the
ii& l2sh&iStfsi&!
president fs subject only to hia Board o£
Visitors, who have already enquired Into
ilr. Roberta's "open letter" addressed t'^
i the Constitutional Convention, and vindi
cated the president and faculty.
If any investigation 19 toslng held. Mr.
Tyler says ihe has, not been invited.
| either officially or unoflScially, to give
[ a.ny testimony in respect to tha ao called
i "open letter" of Mr. Roberts's, or bia
other letters, or the; circumstances at-
J tending ■■ them, in connection ' with Mr.
i lioberta's church, of which Bishop Ran
j £o7Dh is tho stiperior officer. .
•Ilr. Tyler wishes to imores^ i^n t v " ■
people of Virginia -that tho matter, ao
far as he arid the college arc (.■•f-.t-tu-. ...
has been closed.

• Rev. W. T. Roberts expressed to yoai

: further, prolong the controversy starte;!
by him in his opea letter.
■-- Mr.". -Roberts'. Invited Bisfccp Randolph
here, his object bein? to have the 8i3h05
thoroughly informed as to the rector'

/" There seems to h* nothing to justify
a contlnuanca of the "controversy." so
