New York, Dec. lit is delin itely
understood now among prominent Dem
ocratic politicians, that Governor Hill
will accept the United States senator
ship succeeding William NJ. Evarts, and
that he will not be an aspirant for the
presidential nomination before the next
Democratic national convention. 1t is
further understood between the Cleye-
land and Hill managers, that in the event
of the former being elected president he
will not seek denomination. but that he
will exert all the power at his command to
secure the nomination for Hill. As no
bond is given with the agreement no
penalty can be visited on the party who
violates its provisions, and therefore it is
believed that the compact will last only
so long as it serves the best political inter
ests OF either of the parties directly inter
ested, Mayor Chaplin, Of Brooklyn, will
be nominated to succeed Hill rs gov
ernOr.

their mines in this vicinity. The order
took effect yesterday. This Will throw

A Rampant Elephant,

CINCINNATI, Dec. lin spite OF sew
enteen 45-caIiber balls fired into the head
Of "'Chief," the vicious elephant at the
geological gardens last night, the big
beast is alive and apparently well this
morning. He did not escape, as reported
last night, but was cutting such wild an
tics, such as plunging his tusks into the
ground and tearing up the earth and de-
stroying everything within reach, that he
was adjudged insane and his keeper tried
to kill him. Their efforts served to re-
store the beast to reason, for he has been
unusually docile. The theory is that the
bullets f1attened on his skull, but did not
penetrate.

Irrigation Question.

WASHINGTON, Dec. LEX Congress-
man and Congressman-Eect O'Neil, of
st. Louis, has just returned from trip to
the Iumoma copper mine in Arizona,
which he describes as one Of the richest
in the world, requiring nothing but water
to operate its smelters, which leads him
to remark upon the subject of irrigation
in general that it is as much the duty of
the general government to reclaim its
arid lands as to improve its rivers and
harbors, and the land to be sold to set
tiers for the cost of irrigation. He is op-
posed to the fostering OF private irrigation
and will take that position on
returning to congress next year.

After the Mexican Lotteries.

WASHINGTON, Dec. II. 1t is stated at
the postofice department that the mails
sent from Mexico into the United States
have recently been burdened with the
circulars of Mexican lotteries, inclosed in
sealed envelopes, the corners of which
were clipped and postage thereon at the
rate OF | per cent, which was permis-
sible under the Mexican postal laws.
Under the laws Of the United States en-
closure of such circulars in sealed
envelope would require them to be held
for postage and refused admission to the
mail as printed matter. The postmaster
general has been in correspondence with
the director general of posts of Mexico
on this subject, and it has been agreed
that the lottery circulation referred to
shall be no longer carried in the mails or
delivered to addresses in this country.

EXPOSITION PEOPLE LEAVE,
And Call nj kleher Rroa.,.

After viewing the splendid sights at the
Exposition most Of the visitors (who mean
business) call at H. Kleber & Bro. s, 5O6
Wood street, and select one OF their superior
pianos and organs. They know in their
hearts that to make fine show is one thing
and to give people the very finest instru-
ments at the price of the common second
class goods is quite another thing. The
Messrs. Kleber & Bro. enjoy the fullest con-
fidence of the public, and whether they ex-
hibit or not, whether they hold forth on the
principal business street of Pittsburp.
Wood street, or in Diamond or Virgin alley,
the public will seek them out and congratn.
late themselves that they have found out the
place which is utterly safe and reliable. and
above the sharp tricks of new houses which
have come in at the eleventh hour, and
which have to rely upon the credulity of the
public to get rid of their goods-using clubs
and other knock-down arguments to bull
doze their callers into buying their inferior
wares-articles which the Kleber Bros. had
long since rejected as unworthy of being az
sociated with their honorable record and
name. Such pianos as Steinway's, Con-
overs, Opera, Gabler, Emerson, and organs
such as the great Vocalions, Earhuff dust
proof and Burdett, cannot be duplicated IN
this country. Klebers' give an Swear
warrantee and sell on easy time payments.

he BROKE THE RECORD.
One Hundred and Eigbty-One Words Type.
Written in q Minute.

One Hundred and Eighty One Words Type.
Written in n Minute.
1t is almost impossible to believe that 1S1
words minute can be written on type
writer; vet such is fact, and this phenom-
email rate of speed was attained upon a
Hammond machine in this city last even
ing. The operator was E. J. Manning, the
"Tip-Top Typist OF the World" as he is
called, having earned the title OF champion
at a contest with other experts about year
ago. The "copy" was turned, out in clear,
perfet print, with but few errors.
The test was made at the Pittsburg Col
1ege of Shorthand, on Liberty street, and
there was large crowd in attendance, in
cluding many teachers from typewriter
schools. Mr.. Manning used the ordinary
machine, and as his nimble fingers few over
the KEYS there was a whir of machinery,
making a sound like thousands of shot being
dropped into pan. This is about the best
comparison that can be made and few
people believed that the fingers could be
moved SO fast The only imperfections
noticed in the "copy" were where periods
at the end of the line were made on the last
letter instead of after it. This was on ac-
count of reversing the carriage with the left
hand while making the "period" impress
sion with the right. The high speed at
tained can better be understood when it is
stated that Mr.. Manning made II letters in
one second.
In the afternoon an exhibition was given
at Duff's College, and, after the test last
night, a private exhibition was given in the
Office of Mr.. George Chamberlain, the local
manager of the company Mr.. Manning is
on his way to New York after fve-weeks'
tour giving exhibitions of speed throughout
the country.

A Street Quarrel Results In ths Death Of
Thomas DALEY.
Coroner Mcdowell yesterday afternoon
held an INQUEST in the case of Thomas
Daley, the letter carrier, who died at the
Mercy Hospital yesterday morning.
Dailey's death was the result OF fractured
skull and John Baer, alias Johnny Smoker,
was held for his murder. On Mon
day night Daley and Baer met at
the corner of Wylie avenue and
high street and had dispute. They started
to go across the street when Baer struck
Daley, it is supposed, with some sharp in
strument. The two clinched and rolled into
a cellar excavation. The police appeared
and took Daley to Central station. His in
juries were cut above and one below the
eye and cut on the head. His injuries
were dressed by DR.. Meyer, and the next
morning he was released and sent home.
He grew worse and on Wednesday Daley
grew dellrious and was sent to Mercy Hos
pital, where he died. A post mortem showed
that his skull had been fractured.
Daley was 3S years of age and had a wife
and three children. He has been letter
carrier for the last four years and was very
popular.

A splendid opportunity is given at this

carried by this, the oldest established house,
at the wareroom, No. " Fifth avenue. If
you wish to understand how the self-playing
Eolian is in no way mechanical in its rendi-

of the most delicate shadings OF expression,
make your inquiries now. You will find
that it improves more and more upon &C.
quaintance, and is equally effective in
sacred, classic, operatic, popular. dance and
lodge music. The names upon the rolls in
clude such composers as Beethoven, Han
del, Haydn, Cramer, Sullivan, Gott-
scalk, Chopin, and down the list until you
reach the writers of comic songs. No
wonder the rolls reach the astounding num-
ber of 5,038. Some of these have only one
piece, others have as many as four. Then,
too, you can examine the renowned Hard

fessionals and amateurs, and the popular
Krakauer, Of perfect construction and ma
terial and remarkable volume and sweetness
of tone. and the Vose & Sons, noted for
purity of tone, elasticity Of touch and

Magnitude of Our Cities.
MR. DREDGE FAvORS SHIP CANALS.
Sulky Foreigners Threaten to Lie Down on
the Worlds Fair,
As A REBUKE TO TARIFF LEGISLATION

A distinguished visitor to Pittsburg yes
terday was James Dredge. of London, En-
land, the editor of Engineering. He was
accompanied by II. T. Ellicott. Paris
mining engineer; Miss Dtedge, and W. II.
Wiley, New York publisher and engineer.
The party registered at the Duquesne. Mr..
Dredge was entertained at the Duquesne
Club by local iron men, and Manager John
Potter, of the Homestead Steel Works, gave
him dinner at the Duquesne last evening.
Mr.. Dredge is powerfully built man,
but like all the better class of Englishmen,
is suave in manner and easy to approach.
He has been in Chicago, and will leave for
New York this morning. If possible, he
will return to Pittsburg to attend the meet
ing of the Iron and Steel Institute. In a
short chat he said:
SCARCELY REALIZED.
"Few Englishmen realize the growth of
this country and the magnitude of your
cities. / came over here with some ideas
of my own, but after seeing part OF America
they were all knocked out of me. This city,
for example, Is a wonderful workshop, a
beehive of industry. The people are alert
and the manufacturers awake to everything
that is going. In England business is
revIving, but we nave been hampered
this year by numerous strikes. 1 think we
are better fitted to handle them than your
people, for the reason that our workmen are
a homogeneous class as a rule, while in
America there are SO many different nation
alities.
"By the way, the opening of the Man
chester Ship Canal will soon occur.
think it will open up to British manufact-
urers a new era, and will form the nucleus
of system of canals. France and Belgium
have them and they are great benefit. The
cost of transportation is the problem to-day.
In moving great bulks, where little
speed is required the canals will
answer the purpose and do it at
small cost. should think the projected
canal here from the Ohio to the lakes would
meet with the approval Of shippers, though
I am not acquainted with the facts or the
difficulties to be overcome.

of Chicago as the place for holding the

BIG COAL SHIPMENTS.
Over %, 600 Cars Sent Over the Lake Erie,
So Far This Year.


So Far This Year.
The freight car famine continues, not
withStanding the efforts of the railroad
officials to relieve the wants OF the
shippers. A prominent local agent said
yesterday there was a slight cessation in the
elamor for cars, but they are still scarce and
the shipments will probably be further de-
layed. The lakes will close in about six
weeks and extraordinary efforts are being
made to get the coal through by shippers
before the shipments by water are stopped.
So far this year over 25, 900 cars of coal
have been shipped via the Lake Erie road
for lake ports, and the shipments via the
Pennsylvania Company lines exceed this
number OF cars. The Pittsburg and West
ern, the other outlet to the West, cannot
handle the business being offered on account
OF not having the cars. The Lake Shore
road has over ], 700 cars now on the Lake
Erie road
AT meeting in New York, Wednesday,
it was decided to advance the price of
anthracite coal 25 cents a ton at Buffalo,
and Is cents at Chicago, on October 1. The
production of the month of October was
fixed at 3. 500, 600 against 8, ,250, 0O0 tons this
month. The Eastern men are also in trouble
on account Of the scarcity of cars.
