iust heard that ex-senator Blair was not

this subject he said:

The case ia similar 10 that OF Mr.. Kelley,
the VirRinian whom President Cleve'

at the Court OF Vienna. The Australian
Government objected to Mr.. Kelley,
and In respect to its wishes Mr.. Kelley
could not be formally installed at the

the same time the President did not de-
sire to insult Mr.. Kelley by immediate
ly appointing aome other representative,
Accordingly the post was left vacant ior
about year. That in all probability
will be the course tasen in relation to

WAR IN TUE IRON TRADE.

A Rumor that n CombIne VIII be Made
Against Carnegie.
NEW YoRK, April 20.-It is stated here
that there is war in the iron trade, and
the story runs thus:
The fight is to be made against An
drew Carnegie and his associates, and
the opposition to him will be directed
through the house Of ]. B. 81. NJ. Corn
we'll and other New York iron manufac.
turers allied with them. The Carnegie
associations do not make any cast iron,
and as the eirders on buildings are
usually OF cast iron, Mr.. Carnegie has
to give out contracts for all the girders
he requires. Instead, however, OF con-
tracing indirectly with the persons
building, Mr.. Carnegie's agents make
what Is known as 8 direct contract.
The result OF this is that only such
cast iron firms as Mr.. A. r. Whitney, the
agent OF Andrew Carnegie, considered
in position to do the work satlsfactor-
lily, get the preference to all others
Last week meeting was held, attended
by the representatives OF the firm OF j.
B. and ]. b. Cornwell and others, was
held to formulate boycott against Mr..
Carnegie, and yesterday the matter was
freely discussed by prominent iron men.
Mr.. A. R. Whitney said that he had
just spoken with Messrs. Carnegie and
Phips, Of Pittsburgh, in relation to the
matter, assuring them that they had
nothing to fear from the combine what
ever.
ave have made It a rule to contract
directly with proprietors, instead Of TAX
ing their orders for iron indirectly
through contractors. We can get as
much cast iron as we require, and NO
such boycott can iniure US in the least." "
Mr.. S. J. Baldwin, Of the Penngylva'
MIA Steel Company, said he could not
zee how the boycott could succeed.
