There haa been a eharp contraction In the volume of business transacted in pigiron since No vember 1. and yet the sales have been small, only In contrast with the record breaking tonnage sold last month. There has been a fair run of small orders for foundry and forge grades, and one con tract for about 15,000 tons for delivery over the next eight months-by a railroad equipment shoa. Finished steel products continue strong but fabricated steel Is still irregular. The tendency of price for both finished and semi-nnls-hed steel is upward. Contracts for rails, which came to the surface last week, aggregated about 25, 0n tons, but the distribution of orders for between 300.000 and 250,000 tons are expected within a few days. Contracts for . structural steel have ag gregated between 17.000 and IS, 000 tone. The prospect Is for a heavy increase In business this month. The output of all kinds of pigiron In October was at the rate of about 30,000,000 tons annually. The production of steel Ingots, as well as the pigiron. was record-breaking.

MUCH UNDERLYING HATRED 'WHAT IS REPUBLICAN'?" ASKS STATE AXXIOCSLY. Straight Democrat Preferred by Some, Rather Than Insur gent Republican. TOPEKA. Kan.. Nov. 7. (Special.) "Is the National platform of the Re publican party, as Interpreted by the President and a majority of Congress that party's creed? "What is a Republican?" These two questions are stirring as never before the Republican voters of Kansas. They deeply concern United States Senator Bristow, Governor Stubba, Congressman Murdock and other so called "insurgents." The Kansas rebellion against Aldrlch, Cannon and the "Interests" has pro gressed far enough to Insure a contest between factions on the right to a place on the party ballot In next year's pri mary election. Republicans who stand with the President and the National Ad ministration openly declare they will support a straight-out Democrat In pref erence to an insurgent Republican who is but an assistant Democrati- The followers of Bristow and Stubbs are equally bitter and will knife any Re publican bearing the Taft-Cannon label. This means, possibly, a gain of five Dem ocratic Congressmen from Kansas. TAFT SENDS FOR CUMMINS (Continued trom Firet Page-) ary influences seek to take away from the Commission the Initiating power. They argue that the Commission should not be both Judge and prosecutor, and they wish to place upon the Department of Commerce and Labor the duty and power of instituting proceedings, while the Department of Justice would be charged with, the work of prosecuting before the Commission. The Interstate Commerce Commission itself would thus become a mere Judge. "The dang r In this scheme Is that it would be by no means difficult to ar range such a division of authority and such a programme of red tape that it will be possible to hamper every pro ceeding with such delays that the Com mission will really have no power left."

He also declined to say anything of a general nature on the tariff questions. Des Moines, where Mr. Aldrlch will speak Thursday night. Is the home of Senator Cummins, but it is doubtful whether the Rhode Island Senator will make reference to the differences with the Iowa 8enator there. Mr. Aldrlch was Joined at Chicago by George P.

Coreans See Nothing in Reforms Aimed At but Annexation of Their Country and Resent Bit terly Presence of Soldiers. KOBE. Japan, Nov. 7. (Special.) Mea ger news f rem Corea la to the effect that the uprising started by the natives as a protest against the occupation of the kingdom of Japan, while active In spots, in other places haa quieted down through the efficient service of the Japa nese soldiers. This is taken here to mean that the Japanese censor Is busy, for It Is well known that the Coreans, animated by equally, as great love of country as their Invaders, will never resign themselves to be governed by the hated Japanese until they are completely brought under sub jection. A correspondent of the Japan Chronicle writes that the resistance offered to the reforms desired to be brought about by the stronger nation la more a matter of misunderstanding than anything else. The Corean officials. It Is said, know full well what Japan is trying to do, but the soldiers sent to occupy the land are responsible for the hostile feeling thaTc has arisen. The coolie class sees the havoc wrought by the military force, the plundered stores, the outraged women, the ill treatment afforded the men, and does not know what Is behind all this. Pretext to Gain Possession. The poorer classes are unaware that the good of their land is what Japan Is seeking. They look upon the occupation merely as a pretext tqaln possession of the country, and theirolood bolls and they rise up against the Invaders. Incidental to the improvement of con ditions In the empire may come annex ation to Japan. In some circles this Is felt to be the ultimate object. Whether that be true or not the fact remains that Japan has already worked numerous and appreciable reforms among the Coreans. The various stages through which the matter has paosed are summarized In the Chronicle as follows: Stages of Japan's Administration.' "There have been three distinct stages In her (Japan's) attitude towards her neighbor: First, the advisory stage; then the stage of subordinate administration; and finally the stage of well-nigh effect ive direction. The first stage was ante-' cedent to the Convention of November, 1906. During that period Japan limited herself to tendering counsels which Corea adopted or rejected at will. The second stage was marked by assumption of en tire authority in the realm of foreign affairs; entire authority in the domain of communications; practically entire au thority in military and police affairs, and vicarious authority In the Departments of State by meana of Vice-Ministers, in the field of justice by the agency of as sistant judges, and In provincial admin istration by means of secretaries who ranked as assistant-governors. The third stage ,has just been inaugurated; military control has been made complete; judicial control has been made complete, and fi nancial control has been made well-nigh complete. Very little remains to be done." It la the common belief that the Jap anese government will adopt a much more stringent policy toward the Cor eans as a result of the assassination of Prince Ito. The Japanese are In practi cally absolute control of the kingdom, though there is a nominal autonomy un der the direction of the one-time Crown Prince, now made Emperor in place of the deposed Emperor who was on the throne during the war between Russia and Japan. The Japanese in Corea are expected to repress any tendency of the Coreans toward freedom and self-government with the rod. ' 3. L. Watt,. Trainman, Killed. GRAND JUNCTION. Colo., Nov. 7. John L.

Clergy Orders Parents to Boycott Public Schools Teachers Will i Invoke Law. PARIS, Nov. 7. The situation result ing from the French episcopates' declar ation of war against the public schoota and the effort to mobilize the Catholic voters for the coming general election is rapidly entering an acute stage. Monslgnore Goly and other bishops have publicly forbidden Catholic parents to send their children to puonc scnooio if Catholic schools are available and par ents everywhere are urged to refuse to allow their children to use the Inter dicted textbooks. Considerable demoralization of the school already has resulted. M. Deu mergue. Minister of Public Instruction, has ordered an investigation of the sit uation, which probably will determine the Government's ultimate attitude. The decision of the Teachers' Association, comprising 100,000 members, to test in the courts the right of the church to in terfere with the public schools will be followed by damage suits Instituted by the author of the Interdicted text books. The catechism Is being revised for the purpose of teaching that it is a religious duty to vote for the candi date who is pledged to defend church interests. - MAKE YOUR DEBTS DIE WITH YOU by securing at policy in the EQUITABLE UFE PAUL MORTON, President x STRONGER AND BETTER THAN EVER 306-7-8 Oregonian BIdg.
