Fraud.
WASHINGTON, April I'm reply to the
question as to whether he had seen the inter-
view in the New York World Of to-day, and

till do, but | have just received a telegram
from New York informing me that columns Of
q reported conversation with me have ap-
peared In the World, and that is the first in
formation on tho subject that has reached
me. Before having seen the article cannot,
of course, pass Judgment upon It, but can
say frankly that from the tenor and spirit Of

Tor many months, except on a brief visit on
the occasion OF my nephew 8 marriage. had
no conversation then on political questions,
and have not expressed myself politically to
any friends IN ertensO for long time.
You are therefore at liberty to state that
cannot recall any circumstances within the
past few mOnths to warrant any such inter-

gard to the statement that Senator Conklng
suggested to President Grant the idea Of the
electoral commission, the writer of this dis
patch Is confident that it is true, as it was so
told to him by President Grant and 50 pub

DEPRECIATION OF IRoS.-It appears
that many of the great iron mills of
this country are now in the situation
of Othello. and find their " occupation
gone" An article in the american
Manufacturer states that there are at
least two hundred blast furnaces in the
United States that will never 60 into
operation again. OF course. the trouble
with some Of them is inability to face
the competition of heavier capital aud
superior advantages; bat the great dis
abling cause is the general abandon
ment Of the use Of iron for steel. This
is particularly the Case with the mills
for rolling railroad iron. 1t is found
that steel rails are so much more eco
nomical than iron ones, on account of
their greater safety and durability. that
they are gradually but surely displae-
ing all the old iron tracks in the ooun-
Try. says the paper above mentioned !:
The outlook for the silent rolling
mills is even worse than for the furna-
ces. Those that are badly equipped
will remain idle for the same reason
that the silent BLAST furnaces that are
similarly situated will. They cannot
compete with those that are we'll equip
ped and in good locations. But while
the consumption of pig iron is bound
to increase, we can see no reason to
hope for an increased consumption OF
wrought iron. The silent iron rail
mills throughout the country. and the
busy steel rail mills. proclaim the fact
that there are other conditions affecting
the consumption of wrought iron than
those that affect the consumption of
pig.
