IRON MILLS TO CLOSE.

Mahoning Valley and Cleveland to Take
Several Months Owing to Low Prices.
YoUxGsTowS, O., January 30.-An ad'
iourned meeting Of the iron manufacturers
of the Mahoning Valley and Cleveland
was held last night in the parlors Of
Wick Bros. bank. The attendance repre-
sen,ed the largest mills in the districts men
toned Trade was freely discussed. Some
reported more orders, but not sn advance in
prices. The following resolution was adopt
ed: "Owing TO the low prices and the large
wages demanded by skilled labor it was ad-
visable to close down all the rolling mills
through the Mahoning Valley and Cieye-
land, commencing the middle Of February
and 10 remain shut down until after
June lst.
One Of the manufacturers present at the
meeting said. This stop seems to be an
imperative necessity. The fact is that one
mill in Pittsburg is working at % cents be-
low the scale, and we have reason to believe
others are doing so. At this rate we cannot
compete with casters mills except at loss
Eastern manufacturers are entering the
Western markets with the advantage Of low
wages in their favor and the only thing left
for US to do under the circumstance ito shut
down as it would be foolish to run and sell
the products at a loss. What the outcome
viii be cannot predict, out the mills viii
shut down unless there is an advance IN
prices"
A present member Of the Amalgamated
Association here denies thar Sork IS being
done at less than the scale in Pittsburgh, ur-
less il Is done secretly. He says an tnyesti-
cation viii at once be demanded. This sep
will greatly affect business here now almost
AZ a siapdstill. MANY merchants who have
been tiding over the dull season. hoping that
spring would bring more work in the nIllS.
VIII be driven TO the wall. This step OF the
manufacturers is severely criticized, and Il
believed 10 be Unnecessary.

WASHINGTON, January 3O.-Drilling at

yariously estimated that the drill is In the
sand from eight to fifteen feet Many OF
the directors and oil men state that the sand
has been improving and that the prospects
for good well are quite fattering Others
say the sand is not so good. Mr. Mari, the
driller, thinks the we'll viii produce frem
fifty to seventy-ive barrels per day. ,The
oil in the hoe is called the Smiths Ferry
oil, which is of excellent quality, but tre-
auently not found in paving quantities. On
Thursday some OF the oil appeared heavier
and resembled more closely the Bradford
oil, which was considered by the oil men

new find was procured. While no definite
Nction has been taken by the directors In
the matter, it appears to be the intention
to continue boring until through the rock,
when the well viii be torpedoed unless gas
enough is found to make the oil flow.
A director is responsible for the state

tested by nitric acid .roved to be pure gold.
Since writing the above small quantity
of gas was struck and it is hoped this viii

The President Chagrined Over the Defeat

WASHINGTON, January 30.-The House
Foreign Affairs Committee again to-day
considered the Findlay resolution concern
ing dynamite explosions. Quite o lengthy
and animated discussion took place, in
which Chairman Curtin and other members
of the the committee expressed themselves
strongly against reporting any reso-
luton recognizing the completely Of Amer.
can citizens. II was also held BY several
members that the action of the Senate had
been hasty, and a great change in the cur
rent of opinion had taken place since. 1t
was finally decided to refer the subject to a
subcommittee of three, consisting OF Eaton,
Rice and Lamb, to prepare report and
resolution, which will be submitted TO the
full committee tomorrow.
ATalk With Randall
Mr.. Randall returned from Albany this
morning aad was called on BY = number of
prominent Democrats who congratulated
him upon his visit. He said he had long
and satisfactory talk with the President
elect. He was not disposed to divulge what
took place further than to say that he in
formed Mr.. Cleveland at once, that under
no circumstances would he think of &C
cepting Cabinet place, He added that
he was well satisfied with his position in
the House, and believed he could be Of
more service where he was than in the
Cabinet. The President-elec sent for Mr..
Randall to consult more especially about
matters OF policy than the personnel OF the
Cabinet.
Speaker Carlisle left for Albany last
evening and will also have a full and free
talk with the next President. Ms Cleve-
land is particularly desirous that there
should be harmony and unity in the party
concerning these matters, and he will exert
himself and his administration to promot-
ing this end. In regard to Cabinet mat.
tiers, it NAV he stated that no decision has
been arrived at concerning anybody.
The Fated Nicaraguan Treaty.
The friends Of the Nicaraguan treaty at
tribute its defeat to Senator Bayard, and it
is understood his opposition arose mainly
faom desire that action should be post
pored until the next administration in ac-
cordance with Mr.. Clevelsnds views.
Both the Presieent and Secretary
of State are much chagrined at
the action Of the Senate, as they were
led to believe it would get strong support
from the Democratic side ana also because
the Committee on Foreign Relations was
almost unanimous for the treaty. 4 mo-
ton having been entered for reconsidera.
ton it is understood the friends Of the treaty
will make another effort. General opinion,
however, is that this treaty cannot be reviV'
ed. and It is doubtful whether any serious
attempt will be made to consider the Span
ish treaty,

SPEAK OFT.

There is 3 good deal of comment in
legislative circles on the qon-committal
koGcy Of the Inteligencer on the proposed
amendments to the constitution. A large
btockraiser and farmer from the interior
biscOursiDg on the subject remarked that
be couldn't understand why it was, when
ahere was such important legislation being
considered that the other paper did not eS-
breas an opinion. To use his own words;
fRe want all the light we can get and want
n hear expressions of opinion from all
quarters
Il our neighbor would take this farmer )
tuggest;ou and drop the still-hunt policy OF
Iaiting to catch the Democrats in trap 1t
hight inure to the advantage not only Of
be State but ofthe Republican party. The
kCpe that is riaing the breast Of the Rspub-
fcan organ in this city, and its cohorts in
he Legislature, that the Democrats are
kure to make some big mistake because OF
BE great difference OF opinion eNisunS
amoog them, is as big a myth as was ever
bought Of. The Republicans in the House
sho are voting as unit on the immediate
consideration Of the joint resolutions to
ADMIT amendments to the Constitution
shd whose honest opinions on the merits OF

Ire as various as those OF the Democrats,
kave shown By the uniformity Of their vote
