He was accompanied by British Vice Consul Kefiworthy, prepared to guarantee transportation and subsistence for all the British subjects whose financial troubles might otherwise prevent them from landing. Collector Hamilton Present. Customs Collector Hamilton ar- rived from Norfolk early in the day to assist in the ar embarking thos t§ land. He expressed the opinion ttat two or three days would elapse before all are ashore. The Appam was brought to New- " port News by request of Lieut. Berg the German commander, although government officials preferred to have her moved to Norfolk. Lieut. Berg's Masons for making the request werc not disclosed. With the landing of more of the passengers than those who came ashore last night, further interesting details of the operations of the mysterious German sea raider were expected to be brought to light.

London, Feb. 3, 5 a. m.—The Lon- don newspapers this morning express the conviction that the Germans are planning a new offensive on a large scale against the left wing of the al- line. It is expected that they will attempt to blast a way to Calais and Dunkirk by the use of strong bodies of infantry supported by enormous masses of artillery. Official Report. Paris, Feb. 3, Via.

Kirkham in police court this morning on a charge of having passed a worthless check for $50 on D. A. Peters. Miller pleaded guilty, promised to make restitution immediately, and was fined $35 ana himself to Prosecutor Klett briefly outlined the case to the court. On April 14, 1913, Miller tendered Peters with a check for $50. The check was en- dorsed by McNulty but when Peters tried to cash it at the New Britain Trust company it was not honored as there was no deposit to cover it. The police were notified but Miller had fled to the west. In September, 1913, McNulty was arrested and he told the police of Miller’s implication. Last night Miller’s brother got into communication with the prosecuting attorney and asked if the police were still after his brother. Informed that there was a warrant for his arrest, he explained that Fred had returned from the west and would surrender himself. To the court, Miller ex- plained that a couple of days before he passed the check on Peters he and McNulty had sold out their business and had withdrawn their account from the Trust company. On the day in_question McNulty met him and asked him what he was going to do and suggested that they take a trip west where McNulty had uncle, McNulty then asked for a loan of § to give his wife. Then it was Miller passed the bogus check went west with his friend, an “STORMY PETREL” COMING. Woman Champion of Internationalism to Speak on World War.

The 45,000-tons reduction there was nearly made up by the blowing in of fur- naces in other districts. In January the country’s output was 3,188,344 s of 102,850 tons a day, against 3.- 203,322 tons in December, or 103,333 tons a day. There was a net gain of 12 in the number of active furnaces last month, 307 being in blast Feb. 1, with a capa- city of 107,172 tons a day, against 2 on Jan. 1 with a capacity of 105,400 tons a day. Demand Will Increase. It is thus seen that barring inter- ruptions from extreme cold or storms, which are likely to come in February and March, or new strike outbreaks or embargoes, there is ahead a further moderate increase in pig-iron produc- tion. In foundry iron as well as in the merchant trade in steel-making iron there are indications also of in- creasing demand. The spring months will show how the balance will he struck between the two as regards prices. If another buying movement sets in, of which some signs appear, there may be further stiffening. For three weeks pig-iron prices have gone substantially unchanged, At Pittsburgh it is possible to shade pany has bought 50.000 tons of North- ern foundry iron, chiefly for the last half of the vear. At Cleveland there have been sales of 5,000 to 10,000 tons. Effected By Strike. AtPittsburgh it is possible to shade the prices recently considered as the market for basic and foundry irons, but the movement there has been scarcely enough to make a market, the molders’ strike cutting down the local consumption of foundry iron. The embargoes on iron and steel in- tended for New England that were re- leased ten days ago are on again. The Pennsylvania Railroad’s new restric- tions at Pittsburgh apply to iron and steel to he moved east of Trenton for lighterage and to all such shipments into New England anufacturers are resigning themselves to the probabil- ity of intermittent embargoes, particu- larly in the east, over a period of months. Hit By Weather. ortage in semi-finished steel is little affected by the new, steel capacity recently started. At Duluth severe weather has cut down expected output. At Cleveland the new open- hearth production is limited and will absorbed locally. An illustration remarkable conditions cr demand the shipment billets from Joliet, 111, to Iinsle: to supply wire mills, while the steel usually furnished the latter is being rolled into large rounds. Some open-hearth steel from the south is still going abroad as billets. Recent sales of American steel in Eng- land have been at about and 3-in. Bessemer billet Liverpool, and $60 for 4xi-in. open- hearth billets. Sold Up for Year. With all that has been known' of the pre-emption of much rolling space for the second half of the year, there will be surprise at the statement that at Chicago the leading interest has al- lotted its expected production for that period among its customers. and is now regarded as sold up for the year in heavy products. In these sales plates shapes and bars went at 1.90c to 2c., Pittsburgh. Another producer in the Chicago district is entering last half contracts in a similar way and in other es in that territory rolling schedules have been made up into Oc- tober.
