TALE OF A PIG IRON TRUST.
A Sensational Story in Circulation
at Cleveland Denied by the
Carnes;le People.
n.EVr:LA\D. 0., Feb. 10.— An af
ternoon paper says: In Cleveland Iron
circles the sensational story was cir
culated today that an effort ls being
made by the Carnegie Iron company
to form a trust, controlling the entire
pig iron trade of the country.
Local iron dealers recently received
communications from the Carnegie
company urging that such a deal be
considered and advancing lengthy
arguments to prove the benefit a trust
would be to all concerned.
The promoters of the project propose
to follow the same plan under which
the big coal trust is now being organ
ized.
PITTSRT-RG. Pa., Feb. 10.— The offi
cials of the Carnegie company were
shown the dispatch from Cleveland and
they pronounced it false ln every par
ticular.
The story was probably founded, they
said, on a statement published that
they had recently made large purchas
es of pig iron.
CLEVELAND. 0., Feb. 10.— The Iron
Trade Review this week will say: Bes
semer pig has be;-n the interesting, not
to say sensational feature of the iron
market the past week. In all the rec
ord of Its surprising performances, this
Ls perhaps the most remarkable, both
for its suddenness and for the tem
porary inability of the trade to read
its significance. Bessemer for prompt
shipment sold at $9 Wednesday of last
week, went to $9.50 in the next two 1
days, and the buying movement that i
brought the rise involved upward of j
75,000 tons of prompt iron besides 25,000 j
tons for later delivery.

The report of President Potter pri
marily dwelt at length with the prog
ress of the good roads movement, in
the league. He called attention to the
fact that ten states had passed laws
requiring bicycles to be carried as bag
gage, without extra charge, and bills
were now pending in the legislature
of Kentucky, Virginia and Maryland for
the same purpose. This policy, on the
Long Island railroad alone, increased
the traffic from 40.000 cvcllng passen

>f the Day and the Various
Ittee Amendments Adopted
-red.
NGTON, Feb. 10.— During al
entire session of the senate
Indian appropriation was un
•sion. The reading of the bill
>leted and all of the commit-
Iments were adopted. Subse
?veral amendments of a minor
were attached to the meas
en (Neb.) enlivened the pro
a few minutes before ad
t by making an attack upon
Fteed for preventing meritor
ious legislation, sent to the house of
Iresentatlves by the senate. He de.
meed the speaker's action in this
ard as a "disgrace" to the congress
1 «-to the American people.
Then a point of order was made
against him for the use of improper
language, concerning the other branch
of congress, Mr. Allen said that he was
stating only the truth.
Gen. William Booth, of London,
founder of the Salvation Army, offi
ciated as chaplain at the opening today
of the senate's session. Mr. and Mrs
Booth-Tucker, the son-in-law and
daughter of Gen. Booth, -were in the
gallery during the prayer. Previous
to the meeting of the senate the entire
party held a brief reception in the
vice president's room.
Mr. Chandler (N. H.) gave notice that
he would, tomorrow, call up the Corb.tt
case immediately after the morning
business.
The Indian appropriation bill was
then considered. Considerable discus
sion arose over an amendment proposed
by the committee, providing 'that here
after r.o Indian or tribe of Indians shall
lease for mining purposes lands that
are not patented to said Indians."
Mr. Rawlins supported the amend
ment and referred to efforts that are
constantly being made by private in
dividuals and corporations to secure
Ir.diar. lands, particularly mineral
lands, by lease from the Indians with
the approval of the secretary of the
interior.
With this argument, Mr. Allen (Neb.)
took issue. He maintained that the In
_i -'ns had a higher and better right to
THE ST. PAUL GLOBE FRIDAY FEBRUARY 11, 1898.
their meets are conducted In a busi
ness-like manner, and with system.
The racing sanction privilege is not
only necessary but It ls a wise meas
ure in fostering this class of reaction
and entertainment for the public. The
control by the L. A. W., without direct
pecuniary profit, invites public confi
dence to an extent that could not be
accomplished ln any other manner."
Mr. Mott called attention to the
manner of determining the amateur
national championship and claimed it
Is at fault.
"For obvious reasons," he continued,
"the national amateur championship
should be determined entirely at the
national meet, and there should be but
one champion."
Potter Again President.
The next business before the assem
bly was the election of officers and
nominations for president were de
clared in order.
Vice President Morrison took the
chair at this point in the proceedings
and Mr. Van Valkenburg. of Wiscon
sin, at the request of the Empire state,
placed in nomination Isaac B. Potter,
: ! ' hi 1 .!!'. --'\ '~ ( It
of New York, the present Incumbent.
■ He eulogized President Potter as the
father of good roads.
After the enthusiasm over the nomi
nation of Mr. Potter had subsided,
\ Wallace Sherwood, of Indiana. Chief
Ccnsul E. F. Kerriker. of New Jersey;
Chief Consul Jenkins, of New York,
! s+eonded the nomination.
Fred Gerlach, of Chicago, on behalf
I of the Illinois delegation, placed in
nomination George D. Gideon, of
Pennsylvania, ex-chairman of the na
tional racing board, who he designated
as the Moses of the league.
This created almost as much enihu
siasm as that shown for Mr. Potter.
New Hampshire and Michigan sec
onded Potter's nomination. Ohio foi.
J lowed with a second for Gideon, but
one member of the delegation dis
sented. Pennsylvania, whose delega
tion last night refused by a divided
vote to support Gid-j-on, had one dee
gate who seconded the nomination of
Potter.
Sterling Elliott, of Massachusetts,
who backed Gideon for the presidency,
made an able address for his favorite.
who he declared to be the best man for
the position. Maryland and lowa aLo
seconded Potter's nomination.
Nominations were then declared c'o;
ed and balloting for president then be
gan.
The chairman appointed Messrs. Ful
lerton. of New York; Hay, of Massa
chusetts, and Miller, of lowa, as tel
lers.
Before the result of the ballot was
known and during its counting, the
other officers to be elected were nomi
nated and chosen.
W. R. Tucker, of Pennsylvania,
nominated Thomas J. Keenan, of Pitts
burg, as a candidate for the office of
first vice president. There wr-re sev
eral seconds and then Sterling Elliott
moved that the secretary be instruct
ed to cast the unanimous ballot of the
assembly for Mr. Keenan. This was
done and he was declared elected.
E. N. Hines. chief consul of the
Michieran division, was nominated r'.o
second vice pres'dent and J. C. T-m< r
sall, of New Jersey, was placed in
the lands than the mere permission to
ream over in hunting and fishing and
feeding their ponies.
The committee amendment was
agreed to and at the conclusion of the
reading of ths bill it was thrown open
to amendment.
Kyle Amendment.
Mr. Kyle (S. D.) proposed an amerd
ment that all or any part of the sum
of SIGS.SL'S. now in the treasury to the
credit of the Sioux Indians of the Crow
Creek reservation in South Dakota,
may be used for the purchase of such
cattle and agricultural implements as
will promote their welfare. The amend
ment was agreed to.
Mr. Wilson (Wash.) presented and
secured the adoption of an amendment
appropriating $30,000 for school build
ings and repairs on the Puyallup re^er- j
vation in Washington.
An amendment was adopted appro- !
priating $25,000 for the construction and j
equipment of an Tndion industrial !
school of the Fort Keogh military j
reservation in Montana on a site not j
exceeding 1.000 acres.
Mr. Jones (Ark.) ofTered as an amend
ment to the bill the agreement between ]
the I'nited States commissioners to |
negotiate with the five civilized tribes !
and the commissioners on the part of !
the Seminole nation, and it was agreed !
tc.
In the course of the discussion of an
amendment offered by Mr. Thurston, |
Mr. Allen (Neb.) made a sharp attack
upon the speaker of the house of repre
sentatives. He declared that it was
impossible to secure the passage,
through the house, of many meritorious
measures because one man stood at the '
entrance of the caverns Into which pro
posed legislation was dumped, and
■.yr uld permit nothing to be done about
that of which he did not approve. He
said that:
"In the other end of the capitol this
one man stands for 328 and his bold,
unwarranted, undignified action was a
disgrace to the congress and to the
American people."
Further along in his remarks Mr. Al
len reverted to the power exercised by
the speaker of the house, declaring '
that in view of the impossibility of se
curing consideration of meritorious leg
islation the truth ought to be known
to all people in the country. If the
truth hurt or if it broke any rules he
was not responsible.
"I want it understood," said Mr. Al
len, "that I hold myself responsible
at any time and in any place for such
statements as I may make or hav_
made on this subject."
Mr. Allison made a point of order
against the language used and was
sustained by the vice president.
Mr. Allen took an appeal to the sen-
nomination for treasurer. The unani
mcus vote of the assembly was cast for
each by the secretary and they were
also declared elected amid much en
thusiasm.
This completed the list of officers, as
Secretary Bassett's office is a perpetual
one, with the exception of president.
While waiting to* receive the report
of the tellers, invitations were received
on the Lehalf of Philadelphia and Provi.
dence, R. L, tor til- national assem
bly to hold its next convention ln 1899
ln one or the other of those cities.
Providence was chosen by a large ma
jority.
It was almost an hour after the bal
lot had been taken that the tellers were
re ady to report. They .finally did so
with this result: : r
Tctal number of ballots cast, 225, of
which 212 were for Potter, 107 for
Gideon, and the remainder scattering.
As only 154 votes were necessary for
a choice, Mr. Potter had enough and
mere than enough tfor his election.
The enthusiasm that •was shown over
the re-election of Mf. Potter lasted for
several minutes, at' the conclusion of
ISAAC B. POTTER,
President of the L. A. W.
which Mr. Gideon moved that his op
p< t » id's election be made unanimous.
The motion waa carrl d with a rush,
and Mr. Potter made a short speech,
thanking the delegates for the honor.

Pension Legislation With That In

WASHINGTON, Feb'A..— fte contest which
has been waged in the liouse ftimmittee on in
valid pensions ever sfece the assembling of
congress, over the question t 'sf barring from
the pension rolls the widows and children
of soldiers who manly hereafter, came to
an end today in the defeat ofrthe proposition.
A measure with this end view was in
troduced by Representative Simuel Smith, of
Michigan, and it recei\id the', indorsement of
Commissioer of Pensib*ps Evans. The ques
tion has been agitating the committee at
each of its meetings, and today, after a very
spirited discussion. Representative Norton
(Dem., O.) brought it tc a sudden close by
demanding a vote on the question of favorably
reporting it to the house.
The vote disclosed five members of the
commfttee in favor of it and seven against
It, the division not being on party lines. The
division was as follows:
Yeas— Ray (N. V.), Warner (111.), Henry
(Conn.), Smith <Mlch.>, Republicans, and
Briggs (Dem.. N. V.).
Nays— Sulloway (N. H.>. Kerr (O.), Gibson
tTenn.), Sturtevant (.Pa), Republican*; Norto*
recommendation of the racing board,
and was promptly laid on the table by
a unanimous vote.
The consideration of amendments to
the constitution and by-laws of the
league was then begun.
The flrst was an amendment which
would have the effect of admitting to
membership in the league members of
the professional class which has hith
erto been entirely excluded.
There ensued an interesting debate,
in which it seemed that every delegate
present participated, and expressed his
views for or against the amendment.
At times the debate became acrimo
nious.
Every* opportunity was given the
delegates to be heard before the pr*..
vlous question was put. As the result
of the ballot the amendment failed of
adoption by a vote of 182 yeas to 143
nays. As 325 votes In all were cast.
217 was the number required to carry
An analysis of the vote showed that
I most of the opposition to the admls
, sion of "professionals" to membership
; came from the East, though New York
j and New Jersey voted solidly for the
i amendment. Aside from these two
states and Pennsylvania the main
support of the amendment came from
the South and West.
The next amendment was adopted
after some debate and a few changes

AIMED AT CANADA.
Amendment to the Navigation Laws
Passed hy the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.— Senator Frye to
day secured the passage by the senate of a
bill amend. ng the navigation laws, intended
especially to prevent Canadian vessels from
securing an undue share of the carrying busi
ness between Alaska and other American
ports.
Complaint has been made that Canadian ves
sels were attempting to participate in the
Alaska trade by starting from fh'ir own
ports and then stopping successively at more
than one American port and taking on pas
sengers and freight from one American point
to another on the theory that all were em
braced in one voyage.
The bill passed by the senate today provides
for the forfeiture of any merchandise shipped
from one American port to another, either di
rectly or via a foreign port." ln any other
than an American vessel." A like provision is
also made ln regard to the transportation of
passengers by a foreign vessel from one
American port to another except that the
penalty in this case is placed at $!<o each. Tho
penalty under the existing law is %2.
Pare Flour Legislation.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 10 —The millers were
unable to make any arrangement to secure a
hearing today, and Senator Mason will prob
ably call a meeting of his committee for Sat
urday to hear them. Representative Tawney
says that the full ways and means committee
will have a special meeting next week to al
low the representatives of the Millers' asso
ciation to present their views on the Pearce
bill. In crder that the committee may have
all the information possible, Mr. Tawney to
day introduced a resolution requiring th? sec
retary of agriculture to furnish the hous: ot
representatives all information obtainable by
his department in regard to the adulteration
of wheat flour, the character and extent of
such adulteration, its effect upon the con
sumer as to health or otherwise, and thr? ellect
upon the domestic and foreign flour trade of
this country.
Effective Action.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.— The state depart
ment today sent to the senate the eorre*
ence with Germany regarding the exclusion of
American fruits. Secretary Sherman sums it
up by saying:
"It will be seen that the action of this
government and of its diplomatic rtpresen
irrfive at Berlin was prompt and effective,
and that as the matter now stands the ad
mission of American fresh fruit into Ger
many has been secured in all cases save
where the actual existence of the San Jose
scale insect upon the fruit or in the package
thereof is ascertained."

HOUSE IN A BADTEMPEB
TROUBLE OVER A RIGID EBMFORCE
MEST OF THE KI LBS
Mr. Handy, of Delaware, Called to
Order for Attempting to Replj to
.Mr. Bayard, nnd n Filibuster th*-
Result Sir. Tawney Involved
An Adjournment Until Monday.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.— The house
waa in a very had temper today and
the whole session was consumed in
filibustering against two bills of mini r
importance, one to Issue a duplicate
i check and the other to mak.- Rock
land, .Me., a subpoft of entry. Neither
goi lurther than the engrossment and
third reading.
Th.- trouble arose over the enforce
ment of the rule against the discus
sion of Irrelevanl subjects, when Mr.
Hanrly, a Democrat, of Delaware, at
tempted to reply on ihe Boor during
the consideration of those hills, to a
letter recently written hy Thomas F.
' Bayard, secretary < f state under the
Cleveland administration, in denunela
'. tion of the free silver Demo
Roll call 6 I'owed roll call all day long
j and partisan feeling reached a" high
pitch. Finally when it became evi
l dent that no progress could he made
with the bills presented, an adjourn
ment was taken until Monday.
Mr. Bailey, the Democratic leader,
secured time from Mr. Perkins (Rep.,
Io.) during th. consideration of a hill
to Issue a duplicate check In favor , f
j C. J. Holman and hrother for $2,819,
i and yielded thirty minutes of it to Mr.
! Handy (Dem., Del.);
Some question was raised as to the
I right of Mr. Bailey to yield time and
| considerable friction developed.
Mr. Tawney (Rep., Minn.) Intimated
in an undertone mat Mr. Bailey had
secured tim_ under false pret n
"iif course tii-- gentleman do. _ not
mean that," said Mr. Bailey, "hut lf
he does, I denounce it as infamously
false."
The situation Immediately became
strained and when Mr. Handy launch
ed his remarks, which proved ; . be a
criticism of Hon. Thomas F. Bayord,
objection was made that hts remarks
were irrelevant. Party feeling became
inflamed hy the Incident an'! th<- I em
| ec-rats retaliated by contesting the
passage of the bill.
Iteiiis.-.i to Vote.
Tlie previous question was ordered
l-i, t another roll call was forced on an
insignificant amendment.
On this vote most of the D m crats
under the had of Mr. Bailey, declined
to vote, hut thi- speaker not.d enough
; .ers present t<> make up a quorum
and the amendment was adopted.
' »n th.- n<xt vote on the engi*. ssment
and third reading of the bill, the
speaker could count only 140 present
and a call of the house was ordered.
A quorum appeared and the bill was
ngrossed.
Mr. Bailey then formally demanded
j the reading of the engrossed bill. As '
' this could, of course, not be done, the
; hill was laid aside.
The speaker then began a call of the
committees for the presentation of
bills. This was the rirst time this order
of business has been entered upon at
this session.
On the first bill presi nted, Mr. Bailey
again got the flcor and again yl
to Mr Handy ll*- had only utter
few sentences, stating that h«- im •
to reply to Mr. Bayard, when Mr. L>al
zell called him to order.
Mr. Bailey protested vehemently that I
there was no way of determining i
whether Mr. Handy was in ord
not.
Mr. Dalzell replied that the state- j
ment was a mere evasion.
Suddenly the speaker straighten
ln his chair, and. addressing Mr. Bai
ley, said: "That, the gentleman from
Delaware ls out of order fan certainly i

to the subject under consideration and
he thought members of both sides must
admit that it would not be suitable
to fasten on the house a s>. stem i>y
which all manner of questioi s c v
discussed at any time. It was wise,
he said, to conform to the principles
that governed every parliamentary
body.
Plei- for I.a I (tude.
Mr. Railey. In reply, maintained that
custom was as binding as the rule, and
he contended that it had always
the practice to give gentlemen lati
tude. He had never known, he Bald,
a case where a gentleman was called
to order unless he was attacking some
one or indulging in personalities.
The speaker said he had do desire
to enforce the rules vigorously, cxc >pt
when they were Invoked. If the rule
had not been enforced on other
sions, it was the misfortune of thos..
other occasions. There was no longer
any pretense that Mr. Handy Intended
to discuss the pending bill.
It became evident that the Democrats
Intended to continue the ftlil.ust.-r. and.
as the house had no regular business
to proceed with. Mr. Dingley. at this
Juncture, moved an adjournment until
Monday.
Mr. Richardson <d>em.. T.-nn.i. who,
with his fellow Democrats, desired to
hay.- a session tomorrow for the con
sideration of private bills, con!
this motion with a plain moti-.n t.. ad

Th- speaker ruled that Mr. Djngley'S
motion took precedence. The n
waa carried, l_s-H6.
Mr. Henderson (Hep.. Io.), chairman
of the judiciary committee, asked unan.
iir.ous consent for the consideration of

with provision for a vote at 4 o'clock
