Mr.. Weeks Interested in an Open-Henrrh
Mill in Virginia.

Joseph D. Weeks went to Virginia last even
ing, to look after the construction of an open
hearth steel plant, in which he and several
other Pittsburgers are interested. Most of the
capital, however, comes from the South.
Mr.. Weeks said the plant was located near
Clifton Forge. They expected to be in opera
ton by April l. but the work was delayed. He
hopes now to begin making steel on May l.
When the plant is working they will employ
about 500 men. Mr.. Weeks marvels at the
growth and possibilities of Virginia. He says
they have plenty of iron ore and good market.

co fair was Easter Monday that it needed not
- such strong attraction to fill this house
twice yesterday, as did Dan McCarthy's pretty
Irish drama, True Irish Hearts," The play
became great favorite last year, and as there
have been no changes made in the cast except
for the better there is no doubt that all of the
ten performances yet to come will be given to as
large audiences as witnessed it yesterday. Dan
Mccarthy himself is the LGnty Lanigdn of

ATTENTION is called to the fact that the
rules for the calling of Republican State
Conventions and the election of delegates
adopted in 1883 are being ignored this year, in
the election of delegates by County Commit
tees. The fact is that the rules were rather
severely fractured some years ago, and have
been observed since only as it suited the
convenience of the State managers. 1t will
have salutary effect to have the fact that the
rules are intended to secure fair expression
of the popular choice impressed quite forcibly
on the minds Of political managers.

is THE BIBLE SECTARIAN?
The Republican Party Responsible for the
Good Work In the Dalkotas.

NEW YORK, April IA committee of the
M. E. Conference in its report repudiated the
recent decision of the Supreme Court of Wis
consin, regarding the reading of the Bible in
public schools, as "un-American and pagan and
a menace to the perpetuity of oar institutions"
1t held that it was the duty of Christian citi-
zens to deny that the Bible was sectarian, and
to claim for it a place wherever the State at
tempts to educate youth for the duties of citi-
zenship. 1t was decided that the representa-
tion Of laymen and ministers in the General
Conference should remain unchanged.
Conference Missionary Foster, of South Da-
kota, spoke of the work accomplished by the
Prohibition party in that section. He was in
terrupted by the Rev. Delos Tull, who wanted
to know if the Republican party was not re-
sponsible for most of the good work in the TWO
Dakotas. Bishop Goodsell prevented any
political discussion by announcing that the
time of the speaker had expired.

1t is interesting to learn that the recent
season of Italian opera in New York did not
develop any artistic force, according to the die
tum of the Wagnerites. 1t developed the de-
light of thousands of people in the Italian
school of opera; but of course that made no
difference to the Wagner cult. Their definition
of art is like the proverbial one of orthodoxy.
Nothing is art except their particular kind of
art.

II Smn clks of n Deal.

From the Philadelphia Press.]
The price of petroleum has declined about 80
cents per barrel within the last two months,
chiefly by reason of an increase in the produc-
ton of 2l,00O barrels per day, which, it is
believed, will grow larger before the end of the
half year. Notwithstanding this fact the stock
of oil above ground is very Small. Exports have
run behind last year nearly 10000 barrels dur
ing the first quarter of this year. There is some
belief that the decline has some connection
with a new deal between the Standard Oil
Company and the producers.

A Similar Measure Introduced Into the

tested Election.
rFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT!
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Easter Monday was
barely saved from being an exceedingly uull
day in both Houses of Congress by the very
lively debate on the Senate service pension
bill. with the House substitute providing for
pension of SIS month for dependent soldiers 81
years or upwards of age. The number of those
not voting was "A, and nearly all of these were
absentees, most of them being in attendance at
the very gay races at the Benning track The
speeches, as is usual on all pension matters,
were full of buncombe. and the manner in
which the Democrats turned the tables on the
Republicans in repeated declarations that the
bill was miserable subterfuge to enable the
Republicans to avoid facing the general service
pension bill, the only one asked for by old
soldiers as rule. was considered to be very
neat and effective. Democrats who would not
under any circumstances vote for a sweeping
service pension bill, hotly denounced this half
way measure. as though they would vote for the
most lavish legislation contemplated in the ex-
tremest OF the bills before Congress.
The failure of the supporters of the measure
to drum up the two-thirds vote necessary to
secure the suspension of the rules and the
passage of the bill. practically kills the meas
ure, and it now remains for the opponents of
this bill to show the sincerity of their profess
sions of favor for broader legislation by fur
therlng the passage of q general service PEN
sion bill. The efforts to dodge was not en-
tirely confined to the Democrats, however.
Many republicans are in a cold sweat between
their fear of the power of the soldier element
and the censure of another and numerous
public which is opposed to adding anywhere
from 10000 to S50,0O0,0OO annually to the
vast sum already paid out in pensions.
