steamer, seemingly an Americau vessel,
which evidently was on fire. For three
quarters of an hour she lay still off Dun

above her spars and her hull hidden m
a pail of steam, which looked as though
Water was Being pffr on the fire. Then
site ran toward Dutidas island, as though

The Neil’s officers watched her fora

FORTIFYING GOLDEN GATE.
Government Will Make Other Vast.
Improvements at Min KramuKro.
San Francisco, July 24. —The gov
ernment has determined to make vast
improvements in the fortifications
around the harbor of San Francisco. To
that end the present commander at the
Presidio, Colonel Rawles, has been
given a new title which gives him juris
diction over all fortifications protecting
this city. The hills oil both sides of the
Golden Gate are to be mounted with
more of the heaviest and most approved
ordinance. In speaking of the contem
plated work Colonel Rawles said:
“We will place on ail eligible emi
nences the latest improved ordnance.
The number, together with those al
ready mounted, will approximate 100,
I should judge. Many rapid-firing guns
are to be placed, and tne submarine
mining of tiie bay and its approaches
will hereafter be under the supervision
of the artillery instead, as formerly,
under the engineer corps. Much work
is ahead of us, but our growing trade
with the Orleut and outside work lias
made it imperative that San Francisco
should be protected with the latest iin
proved defenses.”

under the conirol of the southern iron
"»Hkt toe.
lYir rlie time uieutioueil the shipments
of pig iron trom the entire field were
7(W,!K)3 tons, an increase of the first six
mouths of 1900 of 71,395 tons. From
toe Birttiiugnain district 420,879, a du
cvcase ot 5.U37 tons. Therewere shipped
during tins period 79,010 tons of cast
iron pipe, 48,101 tons better than last
year. l'be Birmingham district sent
mil 31,040 more than iu 1900, or 40,42(1
tons iu all.
The exports were as follows: For first
six mourns of 1901, 18,374 tons of nig
iron ami I..7S9 ions o; pipe, being 34,595
tousles" man last year of iron aud 3,001
less of pipe.
The tonnage out of the district, it will
be seen, is considerably above that of
last year. 'J'he outlook for the last half
of 1901 is that it will be heavier than the
first.
The falling off in tho export business
is due to the good condition of the do
mestic market.

which made the presentation is causing
