II manufacturing wire:
AS financial investment, the result thus
far has been satisfactory, Before we began tx

had been established by the monopoly at 10
cents per pound for painted wire and IL cents
for galvanized. There is no reason to believe
that these prices would have been reduced ii
we had not attacked the combination in their

demonstrated that with untrammelea )mpet;-
tioa in the manu- sacturo. the same qna.ty OF
barbed wire can and will be sold for 3 cents
per pound less than the MOI epiy prices.
The total expense of our association for at

A shooting affair occurred at about $3.50
o'clock Thursday night in the editorial rooms
Of the National Republican OF Washington
No one saw the occurrence except the
parties Interested, although Frank &. Con
ger, son of the Michigan senator, was in the
Immediate vincinity at the time. Tie true
state Of the case is therefore difficult to arrive
at The result is that A. II. Soltedo, a we'll
known but not very reputable journalist, is
probably fatally shot, and Clarence Barton,
news editor of the Rel ublican, is wounded by
two bullets; but it is believed not dangero sly.
There has been bad blood between Soltedo
ana Barton for some time, owing to the pub
