FIGURING ON COKE RATES.
The Presidents Come to No Agreement
About the Valley Demands.


PITTsBURG, May 24.-The railroad
presidents directly interested met at
the Pennsylvania Company's offices yes
terday to consider the demands of the
Mahoning and Shenango valley furnace
men for lower coke rates. John Newell
represented the Lake Shore and Lake
Erie roads, vice President Orland Smith
was there for the Baltimore and Ohio,
aud vice President McCrea held down
the Pennsylvania lines. J. j. Spear
man, of Sharon, appeared for the down
trOdden furnace owners.
Nothing was accomplished. President
Newell went East last evening, and he
said another meeting would probably be
held in Philadelphia to-day, when the
question would be settled. The furnace
people want reduction in the coke
rates from Sl.35 to S115. Up to the
present time the railroads have refused
TO consider the request until the coke
strike was ended. The argument was
made that not more than = cent per ton
per mile was made for ore, and a proper
tiOnate tariff should be fixed for coke
The railroad officials seem to think that
the furnacemen have been idle so long
that they will start anyhow. The claim
was made that the stocks were low and
the demand for pig iron has improved,
but the valley people have gone through
a tough siege To get the market in any
kind of condition.

MILWAUKEE, May 23.-In an inter

opinion that we might aspire to carry

AT THE PUBLIC CRIB.
The Last Congress saade Over LOO New
Federal Offices.


New YORK, May 24.-One OF the
methods employed by the last Congress
i'm reaching the billiOn-dollar line in its
expenditures was the creation of new
places at the public crib and the in
crease of salaries of some of the per-
sons already provided for. The official
statement of the work of the last SeS-
sion, which lasted three months, gives
some interesting figures. 1t shows that
during the season the economical Re-
publican Congress" created 597 new Spe-
cific Offices, for which salaries ag-
gregating S90S, S67 year were provid-
ed. Besides this there was appropri-
ated 81 ,495, S5l.5O for other new offices,
the number of offices and the amount OF
each salary not being specified. To off
set this appropriation of s., 404.71S.50
/ for new offices, l25 specified places were
/ dropped, taking with them Sl35, $40 so,
and s., $40 was cut off by the dropping
of very small number of offices not
specifically named. This leaves net
increase Of S2, ,263, 233.70 in the salary
rolls, caused by the creation OF new
Offices. At the first session of the same
Congress the net increase of offices was
1888. carrying a net increase of s., csc,
22S,62.
The Fifty-frSt Congress, therefore,
added over !, 200 places to the Federal
patronage list at an annual expense 10
the public of S4,949, 462 80. 1t is this
sort of record that made the Republican
billiOn-dOllar Congress the most reck-
less and eXtravagant one in the history
of the country. and it is small wonder
that its leaders are wondering what the
people will think of their party next

COLUMBUS, O., May 24.-Superinten-
dent McAlpine, of the local Water
works Department, has discovered that
the sewerage from the Insane and I'm
beetle ASylumS flows into the Sciota
river opposite these institutions, and is
then pumped back and used by the in
mates. This horrible state of affairs is
due TO leak in the sewerage which
conveys the filth from the aSylums into
the river. IL is thought probable that
the prevalence of typhoid fever recent
ly at the asylumS was due 10 the i'm
purity of the water. The properauthor-
itieS have taken the matter in hand.
