''Not because had any objections 10 the
parties interested in this claim, " replied
Mr.. Hogg. "but hrcause of the doctrine to
which the government would commit itself
by she payment OF the claim, was the
answer.
The passage OF such law would COM
init us to a principle OF law that no muui-
cipal, State OF National government IN the
world has yet accepted. The object of my
amendment was to give the Court luil
power to try both questions OF law and
fact and thus enable the Supreme Court To
settle the questions tor all time. While
my amendment was not adopted, because
all tine friends OF the bill were in the
House. ami one hundred and fourteen

CHICAGO, January ia special from

serious damage to that cereal, and it IL
feared every field Of winter wheat in Bur,

Definite reports of loss Of cattle during

Although every ranchman admits heavy
lose, sheep men report 81 loss Of from two to
twelve head out OF every flock. The IRA
zos and Colorado rivers are frozen solid,

Of crops last year reduced the supply Of
feed for cattle, 50 that during the cold
spell the herds were without water or food.
Reports from the grazing districts Of the
State say that cattle on the southwestern
ranges weathcrrd tn, great blizzard in very
good shape. The loss was confined entirely
to the sickly and poorly led stock. \ great
many large herds, however, were frost bit

Given Fireman william HeIfer, at the

The grand benefit given Fireman Will
liam Heller, last night, at the Opera
House was brilliant success. The cir.
Cumstances attending Mr. lIelter's injury
and his high character as an efficient and
faithful public servant, enlisted the SYM
plthies of the people as perhaps nothing
else could. The house was filled TO over
flowing. At an early honr every available
seat was occupied and late cOmer- found
standing room only, and even that bccame
very hard to obtain later in The evening
1t made up one OF the largest aud most
brilliant audiences that has filed the
Opera House for many day.
The programme, carried out by the best
musical and literary talent OF the city,
was up to the high expectations that had
been formed. Under the able and efficient
management of Messrs. Kemple and Tracy
everything worked a. evenly and smoothly
"a could be desired. The choicest literary
gems, songs ballads, instrumental solos
and overtures made up programme,
with which the most critical had tO be
pleased. Gu such an occasion an audience
Is not. however, inclined to be critical,
and the manifestations of sincere appre-
citation and enjoyment of the various parts
of the entertainment were both hearty and
frequent.
1t Is almost impossible to particulari/,

ROLLERS WAGES.
Secretary Martin Saysthe Reduction Is Due
to the Drop In Prices.


PITTsBURG, January l9.-Relerring to a
dispatch from Philadelphia to the effect
that the Rolling Mill Association had de-
cided upon general reduction of wages
in the mills represented in its organization
from a basis of ID cents per bar to .
cents per bar, or nearly ten per
cent. Secretary Martin, of the
Amalgamated Association, said to-
day. THE telegram is little mi-lead-
ing 1t says that the men will accept the
reduction and that there will be no trouble
over it. OF course they will accept.
Though their wages will be slightly lower
they will not go below the scale. At =
card rate of two and twO-tenths cents per
bar the mems wages are, according TO the
scale, so much. At two cents they are
proportionately lower The card rate in
Philadelphia has dropped to , cents, and the
wages 20 down in unison with the drop.
The minimum rate on which the scale Is
based is two cents, so that the wages can
not 20 down any further. 1t would make
no difference TO the men if the card rate
fell to cents now, their wages cannot,
according to the scale, 20 below the two
cent basis. The reduction in Philadelphia
will not have any effect, either directly or
indirectly, upon iron and steel workers of
the West. y
