PACIFIC COAST STEAMSHIP COMPANY ACCUSED

OF A PECULIAR THEFT, According to a story in the Daily Alaska Dispatch, Juneau, of April 7th, the Pacific Coast Company is about to acquire possession of a blocked street in Juneau. The story is as follows

When John Olds was trustee of the city of Juneau he laid out a continuation of Front Street, which was to run to the water front to connect with. Captain Carrol's wharf site. A party by the name of Price, during the times when the Juneauties were doing more business than they could handle, built a two-story house,

The world's production of pig iron last year was about 35,000,000 tons, towards which, the United States contributed 11,774,000 tons, the United Kingdom between 8,700,000 and 9,000,000, and Germany 7,403,000 tons. tion was in excess of these figures. American consumption was 12,250,000 tons, and having regard to the phenomenat briskness which characterised the trade this aggregate will not appear to be at all extravagant. Thanks to the strike in South Wales, England's output saw a decline as compared with 1897, although it could have done very well with a big increase. At the same time, the requirements of steel plates and of structural iron and steel generally were much in excess of the average; and users did not permit them to, slacken activity, were of pig, whose commitments of finished goods compelled to buy on a rising market. As a result, the of pig iron utilised in the

quantity twelve months was in excess of 9,000,000 tons

For the three the dip into reserves was over 1,000,000 tons; and we are told now that as a result of this, and of the continued briskness since the begin ning of this year, there are in America and the United Kindom together no more than 1,000,000 tons of unused pig iron available for consumption. This estimate cannot be far out Mr. Hennifer Heaton said that from London to either way, and it requires no special degree of Vancouver, a distance of6,000 miles, the charge penetration to relise that, with demands still on for telegraphing was 15. 6d. a word, whereas an abnormally high scale, the outlook for low from London to Indin, which by land was a prices ls more than cheerless.

CHEAP IMPERIAL TELEGRAPHY, In one of the Committee-rooms of the House of Commons, says The Muil, a conference was recently held, on the invitation of Mr. Henniker Heaton, M.P., between members of Parliament and colonial representatives on the subject of cheapening the present rates for cabling to British possession. Sir Eward Sassoon presided There were present seven influential gentlemen and representatives from Ceylon, the Straits Settlements, and the India Tea Association

In Rheinland, West- phalia, pig la increasing demand, but also to a reduction in output, which was 30,000 tons last month. In the Siegerland it has been found necessary to put out a number of blast furnaces for repairs, and as it will be several months before they can be blown in again, a falling off in production will continue to be felt for some time to come.. Germany, has found it impossible of late to obtain consignments from the United States, and has been buying freely from England, thus competing with English engineers in the task of reducing stock, Though there has been a lull in the distribution of fresh orders in more than one branch of the English engineering trade there is no denying the remarkable character of the existing activity, nor can it be gainsaid that the work still in hand is sufficient to keep makers busy until well on into the summer, even in those branches which are beginning to complain that new ordera are less plentiful than they could wish. A North of England correspondent has this to say,

The saving would be anormous. For instance, he could send a telegram from London to the Russian fronter of Germany for 2d a word; that elegram could be retransmitted through Russin to Merv for afd. a word then there was only a short line aceding to be constructed through Afghanistan to enable one to telegraph from Mery to India, id. a work or in all about st, as ageint the present 4. a.word. An other land line to India might be vid Cons- tantinople to the head of the Persian Gulf, and thence to Karachi He regretted very much that when Mr. Cecil Rhodes proposed to constuct a land line from Cape Town to Cairo no hand of - assistance was held out to him at Cairo by the British Goverment A telegram from London to Malta was only 4d. a word, and from London to: Tunis-only-gd, whereas from Londón to Cairo it was 18. 74. Mr. Cecil Rhodes had ing gested to him that there should be a land line through France and Spain to Gibraltar, and then after crossing the Straits, along the north of Africa to Cairo. It was also possible to link up a route to Australia, requiring only about 850 miles of sea cable. Last year 6498,477 was paid for cabling between England and Australia, and the cabling to India: exceeded £300,000 Altogether £2,400,000 was paid annually for cabling between England and various parts of the British Empire and America; and he bellayed that, if all the land routes were linked -up and utilized, this cost could be reduced by at least 75 per cent. He hoped the Govern ment would appoints Royal Commission, consisting largely of business men and repres sentatives from India and the colonies, to Inquire into the whole system of telegraphic communication between Great-Biltain and various parts of the Empire, with the object of sell, but on the contrary, the pressure is to
