THE MORNING ASTOKIAN, PRIDXY, .ll'NC 7, 1001. THE IRON TRADE 1 IS LOOKING UP Effect of Strike Only Felt in Certain Localities. LONG STRUGGLE PROBABLE Srapalketlc Strikes May Prolong Settle Kit but Coniiiinptloa li Only Sll(btly Cut Dowi Bessemer it Stiidstill. CLEVELAND. June . "Surface In- flcatlon In the Iron trade continue to point to better conditions." says the Iron Trade Review this week. That there is likely to be an early resumption of buying appeals stivntfy to those who look for a continuant- f the present basis and this view is re inforced by the persistently heavy con sumption. Two questions come up hi attempting; to Judge whether the pu s eat rate will continue; the effect of tb machinists' strike and the siie of the year's crops. In certain localities the strike has cut down consumption. ,jUuvnrh the curtailment is not a large percentage of the material entering the foundries and machine shops. There re signs that in these shops the strug gle may be drawn out. with possibility f extension through sympathetic strikes. Thus far the inolders have kept at work except as the idleness of connect ed machine shops compelled a shut town, and at the moment there is less trouble In foundries than for months, with both sides disposed to secure an amicable settlement at the wage con ference of next week through the pub lication of less favorable reports. In pig iron the weaker tendency heretofore noted continues. The princi pal transaction of the past week was the purchase of 50.000 tuns of besse tner Iron from Central Western furnaces for shipment to a Colorado steel works. The bulk of the order went to Central and Southern Ohio producers. In these valleys trading In bessemer is praetlc ally at a standstill, pending the plac ing of contracts by the United States Stel Corporation for Its supply in the second half. This buying, when It comes, may give the whole market such an Impulse as was felt in February, when the merchant furnaces in the val ley took on so lar?e a onnag-. FINAL SETTLEMENT MADE. Millionaire Gregory Left Both a Will and a Widow. CHICAGO. June 6 Final settlemnt of the sensational litigation over the distribution of the estate of Alien Greg ory, the millionaire stock yard com mission nan and cattle owner, came yesterday with the filing of four Instru ments In the recorder's office. By the terms of these Instruments Mrs. Martha Gregory g?s one-third of th entire es tate anj the remaining two-thirds an? to be divided between twenty-eight Heirs. Mr. Gregory died August 2 K" as was thn supposed, without leaving either a will or a widow. Immediately j after his d?arh his n-?phews. Morton 0. j iKer ana Byrjn A. Hathaway, applied to the probite court for lett-rs nf al ministration. These were granted upon representations that Gregory was un marrKl at the time of nis d-ath. Short ly afterward Miss Clybiurn-. who claimed to b" the widow of Mr. Greg ory, filed a petition to s--t aside the let ter! of administration and to grant them to her. After a long legal contest, the hirs became satlslW of the 1-gality of Mrs. Gregory's marriage, recognized the same and entered into an agreement whereby she should have h-r one-tbird or tie estate and the filing ,.f the de-Ms i yesterday was in keeping wi;h the terms of this igre?ment.

Consul-General B-llow's Letter Wa Advised Other Japanese News. Ill Correspondence of Ass.iciai'd Press.) YOKOHAMA. May 18. via San Fian cito. June 6. There is much ferine In official and political crcles occas ioned by the publication of Consul-G-n-eral Bellow's letter to th American government concerning the state of Japan's finances. However, true the facts therein (stated, the conclusion V sure to be drawn from them by foreign governmnets and the commercial world are wholly unfounded, as the govern ment's finance of this country is really In the soundest possible condition. I; is felt that Just at this Juncture where so much depends on keeping Russia in check It becomes an act on the part of the American government wholly lack ing In tact. If not directly unfriendly to .make public such a communication for which there was no necessity and prac tically no occasion. It is quite evi dent, at all events, that western peo ple can have no conception of the ten sion of nerves which mark the situa tion here In the East or the Imminent Janger of a sudden break which will Involve (he whole world In a gigantic war. The Oregon, after a stay of a little over a week In our harbjr. weighed anchor for hone on the 16th. She has been a most welcome, guest during her two weeks visit here, attracting the ereatest mlmiiMtlon as an Ideal war ship, nothing approaching her havltnr been seen In these waters. The recently .wmunccvl addition to their Meet of Tacitta liners by the Nor thorn raffle Company gives great sat isfaction and the prospects that one of the givui German lines will ton b running to S'an Francisco, makes the outlook for malls almott as frequent as upon the Atlantic lines. The rush of tourists still continues anj the hotels are crowded to repletion. EXPANSION POLICY CRITICISED. Attitude of the Administration in the Philippines Condemned. ROI'LDER. Col,. June . Before the rwduitlng class of the law school of the I'nivrslty of Colorado, Hon. Muse Halett. dean of the law faculty, and federal ludire at Denver, delivered an address In which he criticised the pres ent attitud? of ;he government with re gard to the Philippines, closing with these words: "And so It appears that the powers of earth and air are again arrayed s they have always been arrayed, against the causeof civil liberty. The spectacle presented is that of a nation in rebellion against absolute power and achieving its ind -pendente of such pow er by force of arms; afterward a gov einment established in protests against absolute power and prof easing to rule only by the consent of the people and according to their will, an autonomous Rivernment which claimed only the right of self-rule for the people and disclaimed authority In other lands and over other people. "Such ws the I'nited States of Amer lea at the end of the eighteenth cen- tury. One hundred years later, the same nation and government In total diwe- gard of the principle on which it was established, repudiating every declara tion of authority on which It came In to power with sha.neless perfidy, takes into Its possession other lands and peo ples wKh intent to rule them abso lutely and with the power of the sword 'So fleet the works of man Back to earth again.' "This nation, baptised in the blood of free men a short century back and dedicated to ihe :ause of liberty for men. now crumbles into the slough of desDotlsm, another ruin on the sands of time to mark the course of roan's inhumanity to man."

A special the Herald from Washington says: to Chile is dstinctly the victor In the discussion which has arisen over tin' question of arbitration to be considered by the coming P.-tn-American congress Th administration has vtrtuullv de elded not to agtve to any suggestion put forward by Peru or her all!e re moving the limitation pliwed by the ex ecutlve committee of the bureau American republics on the subj.vt of arbitration. Th'U principle under the decision of the committee, can only up ply to future questltis. Furthermore even If Peru and Rollvla decline to p. tlcipate the congress will be held with out them. It Is the earnest wish of the presl dent that all he republics be repre sented at :ne congress, it lias ummi pointed out to Peru that It Is distinct iv to hep int !( to ;ake part, that to stay away would be m deprive her of the sympathy which some of her sis ter states have ext.'n.led to her.

June 1 Congressman Livingston, of Georgia, is o.uote.1 in a. medal from Washingt.in to the Tribune as saying that he does not believe In wholesale disfranchisement as a reme dy for the evils of negro suffrage. H said: i tmnK tne people or C'Orrla are against any disfranchisement ann-nd ments to our state constitution. We are getting along nicely with the negro In Georgia- The states which adopt the amendment which have been already adopted by Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, may see the time when congress will take the matter up, with a view of affecting their repre sentations of such states as Louisiana. Mississippi. Noah and South Carolina Is reducd It would bring turmoil and strife snd reopen the Issues of the civil war. "I do not think It bet for the Southern states to adopt such onrtltu tlonat amendments. The numbT of negroes In our state is not so large as it was formerly. Very many of them are moving away where agricultural conditions are better than they are In Georgia." FOSTER ON INSULAR DECISIONS. The Ex-Secretary of State Considers Supreme Court's Position Most Fortunat. NEW YORK. June 6. Ex-Secretary nf State John W. Foster. In discuss ing the recent ;nulir decision wiih the Washington correspondent of the Tim-s said: "I deem it fortunate that the cun took the position it did. Consider the Philippine situation for instance. The I'nited States now has possession of the archipelago. Having the islands in our grasp, it necessarily follows that we must govern th-m. "The decision of the court in th- Por to Rican cases clearly and unequivocally delegated such authority to congress. It therefore settles the much mooted point as to whether congress had the power (o fegu'a.e affairs in our n'"w possessions. For this reason, I say. the decision was practical and sensible. It will be a great bulwark for thos now in the East. The exigencies of the sit uation -lemand"d Jut su. h a decision as if rend- red." TOO MUCH READING.
