The superintendent of census has just issued his bulletin on the production of pig iron in the United States during the year ended Jnne 30, 1890. In this bulletin the «nperintendent says: “The production of pig iron, including Besse- mer, during the year named aggregated 9, 779 tons (of 2,000 pounds to the ton), as com- pared with 9,781,021 tons produced during tne censns year of 1980 and 2,052,821 tons during the census year of 1370. It will be gratifying to notice the GREAT STRIDES WHICH THE SOUTHERN STATES | WAVE MADE in the manufacture of pig iron since 1880, the total product in that year being 350.436 tons, as against 1,780,309 tons in 1890. The decade has brought about the most marked change in rank im this industry in the state of Alabama, which in 1880 occupied tenth place, with an output of 62.338 tons, and which now, in 15%), obtains third place, with an output of 490,432 tons, an inerease of more than 1,328 per cent over the production of 18%. The development of the | manufacture of pig iron in the United States during the ten years from 153 to 1490 has been | phenomenal, and at the present rate of in- Tease in production this country is destined soon to become the LEADING PRODUCER OF PIG IRON IN THE WORLD, possi reaching this distinction in the cal- entdar year 18%). In pointof production Penn fivania stands first, Ohio second. Alabama third, Illinois fourth, New York fifth, Virginia gixth and Tennessee seventh.” ‘The superintendent calls particular attention to the rapid development of the blast-furnace industry of the southern states as one of the oticeable features in the growth of the ture of pig iron in this country. In| the six western states which produce pig iron there has been a large increase in production.

Tuesday was the day fixed upon for the con- clusion of the English naval manenvers, and word was sent around to the commanders of the opposing fleets that peace was concluded. War was declared on the 8th, so that the ma- neuvers have only lasted nine days. The squad- ron of Sir George Tryon, which acted as the defending or British force, composed of the battleships Northumberland, Inflexible, Tri- umph, Shannon, Black Prince, Anson, Rodney, Hotspur, Hero and Inconstant, has put into Torbay. There are still a number of cruisers out, but they will all rendezvous either at Tor- bay or Portland. The enemy's fleet, com- manded by Sir Culme Seymour, has. according to many competent critics, been victorious, Admiral Seymour hed twenty-four hours’ start of his opponent, and although he had to come all the way from Bantry bay succeeded in capturing the Island of Alderney in the channel and made it a station for a flotilla of cruisers and torpedo boats, which virtually took command oF the channel. The cruisers Narcissus. Iris and Galatea, belonging to the British defending force, did magniticent serv- ice. Indeed. it 1s admitted that without such vessels Admiral Tryon would have been badly beaten. A With respect to the ironclads, several serious defects were brought out. Both the Hero and Inflexible were disabled the first day out, not by the tire of the enemy, but from mishaps to their own machinery. “The recoil valves inthe head of the piston of the 80-ton forward gun in The AN ODD ALLIANCE. the Salvation Army.

Soon after hiv arrival at San Francisco be saw Loo Tuin, a pretty child of six. born in this country of Chinese parents.

He Sees His Grandfather’s Portrait and is Cheered by the Employes. President Harrison spent half an hour of his fifty-seventh birthday in Philadelphia yester- day, took in all the wonders of the United States mint, examined with attention the me- dallion of his illustrious ancestor, William H. Harrison, which adorns the mint gallery, and then left for Cape May Point. The President arrived from Washington alittle after 1 p.m. He was accompanied by Gen. William J. Sewell of New Jersey, The President was driven direct from Broad street station tothe mint. There he was taken in charge by Chief Clerk Cobb and Chief Coiner W. 8. Steel, who did the honors of the departmentin the absence of Superintendent Bosbyshell, who is away on his vacation. It wasn’t long before the mint employes be- came aware of the fact that the President of the United States was honoring them with his Bresence and they turned out in full force to lo him honor. The party was cheered repeat- ay as it passed through the different rooms and the men crowded around at a respectful distance to look at Gen, Harrison. The tour of the building had been made and the President was preparing to leave when Major William M. Palmer, chief weigher of the mint, suggested to Gen. Sewell that the Presi- dent should be taken up to the mint galler: where are kept medallion portraits of all th Presidents of the United State: The Presi dent expressed himself as being desirous of looking at his grandfather's portrait and the party spent ten minutes in examining the min- aature likeness of the ancestor of the present chiet executive of the Union. Gen, Sewell and the President were then driven to Market street ferry, where they took the boat for Camden, Their presence on the boat was hardly noticed. On arriving in Camden the President entered Gen, Sewell’s private car, which wasattached to a train that soon left for Cape May. While atthe mint the Prosi- dent was presented by Chief Clerk Cobb with one of the heavy medals that was struck in oe of his inauguration and a new one-dol lar die. IMPORTANT RAILROAD MEETING. The Capitalists Interested in the Wash- ington and Cumberland Railroad. From the Baltimore Sun today. Senator Gorman came over from Washing- ton yesterday afternoon and secured « room at the Hotel Rennert, where he meta party of gentlemen who are interested in the or- ganization of the Washington and Cumber- land railroad. Those who were in confer- ence with the Senator were President Henry G. Davis of the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg railway; R. C. Kerens of Missouri, a director in the same road, who came over from New York to be present at the con- ference: Kurtz Johnson, president of the Citizes National Bank of Washington; David L. Bartlett, Hattersley W. Talbott, in- corporators of the Washington and Cumber- Stephen B. Gambrill, president of peake and Ohio canal, and Mr. M. Lanahan, The conference lasted several hours and was stated to be for the pur- pose of arranging the Jetails for the organiza- tion of the Washington and Cumberland road, which it is expected will occur today. The books for subscription to the stock of the new company will be opened to- day at the Farmers and Planters’ Bank, and it is believed that all the stock will be taken at once and the organization soon effected. As is generally known, the Wash- ington and Cumberland railroad, by an act passed by the last legislature, secured the sole right touse the bed ot the Chesapeake and Ohio canal for railroad purposes, the act speci- fying the amounts to be paid annually tu the present creditors and bondhviders for the privi- leges it granted. The lease on the road will begin as soon as the organization of the rail- road company is completed. Mr. Gambrill, who was one of the conferees at the meeting last night, said that the impression prevails that the sale of the canal will be ordered by Judge Alvey, before whom litigation in the matter is now pending. In that event the Washington and Cumberlanil, possessing the sole right tothe bed for railroad purposes, will become the purchaser. ‘Ihe meeting was significant in that it contained representatives of the canal, the Washington and Cumberland Company and the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg railway, in whose interest the new road will be operated. Thie road now extends from Elkins, W.Va., to Cumberland, Md., aud traverses @ rich coal country. By the road from Cumberland to Washington down the Chesapeake and Qbio canal it will secure a tidewater outlet for the product which other roads now carry to market. soe A CYCLONE IN FRANCE.

The dis- ease is terribly fatal in its results, and none so far attacked have survived. The first news of the epidemie was brought by the regular coast- ing steamer. The inhabitants think it is viru- Jent diphtheria. Physicians were sent to in- vestigate the disease, and they have returned, but no offical report has been published.

Americans Have More Wants Better Supplied Than Those of Any Other Land. At the annual meeting of the American Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Science at In- dianapolis yesterday, Prof. J. R. Dodge, sta- tistician of the Department of Agriculture, de- livered his annual address as president of the section of economic science and statistics, his subject being the “Standard of Living in the United States,” which, he claimed, is higher than that of any other country. Free from the political and social trammels by which the masses of the old world are more or less con- fined, the American citizen is the master of his own career and the maker of his own fortune. This stimulates activity in effort, and a liberal ration is necessary to the repair of waste in nerve and muscle, but the opulence of nature and the energy ot man have made rich provision for the largest liberality in this respect, and the consumption of various elements of nutrition is fully fifty per cent larger than in the most favored nations of Europe. So it is also in respect to clothing, housiig, and the furnishing and decoration of the home, Such a scale of expenditure presupposes high wages, and in fact the rates oF pay to dif- ferent classes of workmen are from fifty to one hundred per cent higher than in the most favored of foreign nations, He contended, too, that in view of the abundance of produc- tion and the amplitude of the market for pro- duce, the farmer is in a condition to live and thrive or know the ‘reason why his profits do not meet his expectations. Touching upon the relations between the high standard of living and correspondingly high wages provalent in the United States and the foreign trade of the country, he pointed out that these conditions are not inconsistent with a capacity for exporting the products of our highly paid industry, During the last enty years our exports of domestic mer- chandise. produced by the highest wages in the world, have increased much faster than our population—in many cases a hundred and in some @ thousand fold. Such exports are, how- ever, not so much the proluct of muscle as of the creative power of mind —the results of im- vention in the lines of taste aud utility. adapt- ation and expedition. He contended, too, that our ability to export in various lines the pro- ducts of our industry depended on our en- couraging the lirgest variety of production and the stimulation of the highest industrial skill in the endeavor to meet the varied wants of our people by the resuits of their own labor, while the same policy of self-reliant energy was also essential to the continued main- tenance of that high standard of living upon which depend the future education. progress, individual inde and general pros- perity of the people of the United states. see I UNIFORM.

In point of fact, i | may be truthfully said that it is without ap equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures ‘ven below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on each Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tug Stam on the 18th of January, 1590, Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. Whe Star has three times the circa. Washing Jation of any other paper ton! 2. The Star's circulation fi ton ty double that of all Papers published in the city added to gether!! 3. the Star basa larger and fuller min the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas ing population, than any other news paper in the world!!! ‘The Star has the fargest regular and permanent home circulation et Any two-cent afternoon paper in the led Seates 2112 ciren In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the papeg, attention is invited to the figures following: PAILY CIRCULATION TW I8S5-R5-87-88-89, ISS3.

The remaining 6.740 copies represent the sales ver the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys, But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied regularly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula thon may be literally said to be in the family Circle, While its aggregate circulation there- fore gives Tux Sran a distinetire and enviable Position m modern journal sm, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which ft is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pure \ chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, daily journal now published can furnish a paral ‘This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It isa well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter prising business men of Washington, who seck and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tae Stan's ad ising patronage. Nothing can eure! illustrate the esteem in which «ny article is held by the public than # constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentious competition. The figures following tell the story on this point: more NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS sRINTED Et 1S85-S6-87 88st, 1885. ISS6. ISS7. TSSS, 1889.

The larget space required for advertisements during the year 1889 4s compared with that occupied im 1888 is even more striking. The average duily space filled by advertise ments in 1886 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns im the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious yearof1444columns!
