Special telegram to tie ReJ,str.
WASHINGTON, d. c., December 30
Senator Walcott, Of Colorado, to-day
followed the lead of Senator Stewart, OF
Nevada, and made 4 strong and admira-
bill. Mr.. Walcott is one of the
younger members of the Senate, but he
is finished and impressive speaker,
and what he said to-day was all the
more effective because of its elevated,
patriotic tone, and entire frankness.
He was listened to with the closest at
tention.
When it was known that Senator Hoar
had finished and the Colorado
Senator had be- IN to speak,
many Republican Senators, who
iwc.e in the rleak rooms, hur-
ried into the chamber TO listen to the
conclusion OF his remarks. 1t was notice
able that number of Republican Sena-
tors did not hesitate TO congratulate
their colleague from Colorado, al
though he attacked the Force bill.
Among them were Davis and Washburn
of Minnesota, Teller of Colorado, and
Plumb of Kansas. Mr.. Wolcott de-
clared that the elections bill was an un-
patriotic measure. The South, he said,
was slowly emerging into the light OF
prosperity, developing It's great resources
and solving in its own way the trying
problem which confronted its people
after the war. 1t was wrong to inter
fere with this development by federal
interference in the affairs of the State.
which would revive bitter feel
ingi and arrest The good work
now under way There were
many grave objections to the elections
bill, but the gravest Of all was the OBJ
lection that it involved an interference
in State affairs by the federal authori-
ties, which was contrary to the usage
of an hundred years and the spirit OF
| American institutions.
lie said that they had had taste oil
it in Colorado not long ago to the dis
gust of men of both parties and they
wanted no more of it. The Senator
also declared that ii the Chi
nese, for instance, were in the
majority in Colorado, means would
be found by the whites of the State to
prevent them from voting.
Senator Teller later practically gave
notice that he was prepared TO vote
against the bill. Altogether it was
day of small comfort to Mr.. Hoar
Senator Reagan made strong speech
against the bill.

NINE PER CENT.
The Reduction to Be Made at Homestead
Mill,

PITTsBuRG, December 80. -Billets
have sold 1T the average price OF S27
per ton during the past three months.
This is the rate determined in few
yesterday afternoon, by the
Chairman OF the firm OF Carnegie,
Phipps x Co., and President Weihe, OF
the Amalgamated Association.
Since July, 1889, employees in the con-
verting, blooming, 22-inch, cogning,
beam and plate mills and the open
hearth departments of the Homestead
works have been working under 4 slid
ing scale. The base Of this scale is bill
lets 1T S25 per ton, below which base
price wages shall not 90. At the close
OF each quarter the average selling price
OF billets is determined, and upon this
result wages for the succeeding three
months are based.
During the current three months, the
pay Of the workers was based on s29.75,
the average price of billcts for the three
months ending September 30. The
average price OF bllets for the three
months Just closing is found TO be S97
per ton. which will have the effect OF re-
ducing wages for the next three months
a little more than 9 per cent. below the
amounts received during the current
quarter.
The average quarterly selling price
for this year has been determined four
times. and the result shows decline
throughout the year, with one excep-
ton. The average for January, Febru-
airy and March, was s3i; for April, May
and June. il was S?s2j; for July, Au-
gust and September, s29.7j, and for Oc-
tober. November and December, s27.
At no time during the year has selling
price Of billets reached the base of the
scale-S25 per ton for billets.
The wages to be paid the workers for
the next three months is nearly 10 per
cent above the base OF the scale. Take,
for instance, heater in the blooming
mill. II billets fell to S9j per ton, his
wages would be S3.l0 for every 100 tons
turned out. His mill may work POO or
more tons per turn, and In addition TO
the wages received for this tonnage
there is added the next three months
nearly 10 per cent TO his earnings, be-
cause the price Of bilets for that period
is agreed to be based Oh an advance OF
50 per ton in excess Of the base price OF
SIS, which Is nearly 10 per cent.
This sliding scale agreement Will re-
main in force for three years from the
time of its adoption, and will not end,
therefore, until July. 1892. The men
are thoroughly satisfied with the work
ings of the scale. The men believe IL Is
the most equitable wage arrangement
that has been yet agreed spon by EN-
ployer and employc.
II has now been tried year and
half, and is found TO meet almost uni
versal approval. II is the only success
full sliding scale which has yet operated
in this branch OF the industrial world.

Not the Real Murderer.

WuKEsBARRE, PA, December 30
John Trella, the man who is supposed
to have yesterday murdered Michael
Curley and wife and Andrew Kodak, In
Broderick'S Patch, and who escaped
the officers, has been apprehended. 1t
is asserted that he would make no state
ment regarding the affair, and nothing
definite has yet been ascertained here.
The belief is gaining ground that Trella
is not the real murderer.
