In the afternoon, as he was pass

denly upon a knot of excited people.
Two policemen stood there grim and
silent. The men were speaking in
low, quick tones.
"He's dead!" said one; "Tm sure
of it, The bullet went throug ht his

stood in the doorway motioning the
people back from the closed door
His face was deathly white, and
there was blood on his hands, aud
on the piece of goods he still held
mechanically. Mr.. Lane started
when he saw him; it was Mr. Lewis
brother, and this was Lewis store;
he had not seen that before.
"What is it? What is it?" he
asked excitedly. The young man
opened his lips, but made no sound.

at his elbow in a low tone; she's

THE MILLS BILL
The Hope OF the British Steel Manu-
factuiefs -Thoy are Boldly Planning
to Control our Markets

The fine steel manufacturers OF sheffield
are figuring A. carefully on the passage o.

we're openly the representatives, of theu
interests. Precisely rs the British pres
last December burst out in loud praises OF
Clcvcland's Free Trade message, tn,

portance OF the speedy passage OF the
Mills bill, aud are planning To swamp
their American rivals. Definite informa
ton "a to thcir designs and expectation,
have recently been received ut Pittsburg
Thanks 10 the owners of the Swedish ore
mines, the plan of the Englishmen viii
frustrated. Sixteen wears ago Pitts
burg steel manufacturing firm found il
necessary to secure better iron than could
he had in this country as basis for high
grade steel. Upon reaching England, =
member OF the firm found that the
Sheffield steel men had a complete
monopoly of the best Swedish iron aud
practically of the mine from which the
ore WAS dug. They made fiNe-year con-
tracts and had the owners bound not to
lift a pound of ore for any one else. The
Fttshurger visited the mine, which is
twenty-thtee miles north of the
city of lpsala, the old capital of
Sweden and the seat of her great
university established more than four
centuries age. The pittsburger returned
to America after he had secured the
promise of swedish iron manufacturer
to hunt for man who had ore rights in
the mine and could manufacture on his
own account. shortly after his return
there came u letter stating that the owner
OF little disused furnace. who also
possessed ore rights in the mine, had been
found, The Pittsburgrr replied in be-
half of his firm that If this man would put
his furnace In blast they would make
three year contract with him for $50 tons
year, The offer was accepted ana the
iron has been coming to Pittsburp ever
since. The last contract of the PittsburC-
er with the Swede will expire shortly, and
on Tuesday letter WAS received from
him containing photographic dispatch from
the English, who formerly monopolized
the iron The dispatch was an offer to |
take all the iron produced. and il wound /
up with the words "Stop sales to Ameri- |
ca But the sales will not stop The 1
Swede referred TO what he said in his let /
ter that he was ready to renew his Pitts
burg contract.
With an extensive array of facts of this |
character openly manifested, and which |
are sure To be Increased, is it not strange
that the Cleyelandites will persist in their
mad scheme OF breaking down the Ameri-
can protective system. They are acting
precisely as the Democratic party did
prior to the rebellion. playing directly
into the bands of the pro-slavery Bour-
bons and the British Free Traders, who
wished to break the Union in twain SO as to
be able to monopolize the entire trade of
the South.
