How the Furnacemen Propose 10 Bring
Production Into EqusIity With Demand
and to Improve Prices.
CLEvELASD, o., March 1O.-The IRON
Trade ReUielC will print to-day re-
sponses from fifty-one OF the largest
blast furnaces in the country, TO the
questions whether they contemplated an
early blowing out, aud what remedy
they would suggest for the present sup
pressed state of the iron trade.
The answers show that fourteen
stacks will blow out in the next thirty
days, which the Iron T'r ide ReUtel1 says
means q reduction OF 10, 300 tons week
In the production Of pig iron. II is
about equal TO the present excess OF pro-
duction over the amount consumed In
manufacture.
The furnace men are unit In the
opinion that oyer-prodnction Is the
cause OF the unprecedentediy low prices
prevailing, aud almost "a unanimous In
saying that a general blowing out OF
stacks is the remedy 20 be applied. or
the fourteen stacks that are soon 10 go
out OF blast or have blown
out since March lst, one IS In
the Mahoning Valley and two are in
other parts OF Ohio; four are in the
Shenago Valley and two in other parts
Pennsylvania; one 10 Chicago; two in
Virginia; one 10 Tennessee: one in
Georgia. The answer Of many other
furnace owners, who do not ix definite
date, indicate that they Will shut down
within few weeks II prices are no

CoLUMBEs, o.. March 10.-The Foraker
faction of Republicans in the House Of Re
sentatives won temporary victory to-day
in the contest over the redistricting Of the
state for Congress.
The Sherman Republicans arranged a
plan that would put the leading men Of
that faction in strong Republican districts
and left the Foraker leaders in Democratic
districts.
II was rushed through the Senate, but in
the House the Foraker men plainly an
nounced their intention of uniting with
the Democrats and defeating the bill If it
was not amended so as TO deal fair with
them.
For weeks the Foraker men refused 10
go into caucus to consider the bill, lest
the Sherman men, having a majority,
would enforce the gag rule' and push the
bill upon them.
The Sherman men were finally obliged
10 pledge themselves 10 amend the bill be-
fore united action could be secured.
A caucus was held at noon to-day. and q
committee Of ten was appointed to prepare
an entirely new bill and report it at eau
Gus 70 be held next Tuesday night. Prom
inent in this committee are Griffen and
McGrew, the Foraker leaders OF the

HINTON, w. VA, March 1O.-The IN
dcpHdc,t-HUO'd issued to-day has the
following very interesting story:
Dr. A. Brilliant, Of this place, many
years ago, while in Philadelphia one
evening walking through well-kuown
quarter OF the city, was stopped by q
pale-faced gentleman who begged pite-
ousiy for assistance. His story Of
wrongs and misfortune was so nlauSible
that the doctor handed him the amount
asked for and was on the point of con-
tinuing his walk when the stranger
stopped him again, asked his name and
address, promising that when fortune
smiled upon him he should be well re-
memSered.
Yesterday, upon opening a small pack
age directed TO him from Mellmore. a
mining town in South America, the doc
tor found gliStening 10 Il dOwny bit of
cotton q brilliant, Scntilating with ali
the colors of the rainbow. IncloSed
with the gem was card reading;

That the doctor was amazed, goes
without saying, and no wonder. The
gem weighs twenty karats and its val

Departs from Sc. Paul and Goes in TO the
West Damage Done - Loss of Lie
Feared.
ST. PAUL., MINI. March 10.-After
raging with terrific fury for thirty
hours, the blizzard passed on to the
northwest, leaving in its wake intensely
cold weather, the mercury early this
morning reaching ten below and at nine
o'clock being one below.
As the fuller details OF the storm are
received, IL grows In magnitude and In
tensity, and fears are expressed that
there may be great loss Of life. This,
however, will not be so great as would
have occurred had the storm commenced
during the day time, when more people
were out.
Still many were out and their friends
are anxiOuSly awaiting news from them.
On account of the condition OF the
wires and the drift covered country
roads, the full details OF the loss OF life
will be slow in coming in, but that there
have been serious results OF the storm
is undoubtedly true.
Damage 10 the property from the
severity of the gale is reported very
great at Fargo, CrookSton and other
places. Crookston buildings suffered
greatly from the breaking of plate glass
as well as being nearly blown down by
the force of the storm. and many small
buildings were demolished. Many OF
the buildings at Fergus Falls were un-
rooted and other damage was done.
So far as the railroads were con-
cerned the gale and the blizzard got in
their deadly work last night, when the
wind blew and the snow drfted badly.
The Northern Pacific had its hands full
in Minnesota all night and this morn
ing. The snow drifted badly and wires
are still down. Snow plows are out on
every division. The Great Northern
was in much the same shape, with the
thermometer recording from above to
Is below zero.
A snow pIow carrying two engines
and running as the Grst section OF the
regular train had a head end collision
at Lake Park on the Northern Pacific
at 4:3O a. M, with the first section OF
the passenger train. George Carr, en-
gineer, was seriously injured. Several
other train men were badly shaken up,
but their injuries are not serious.

THE PEOPLE AND THE LAW.

The St, Louis Republic is making
it warm for the mobs that have in
several instances of late taken the
law of Missouri in their teeth and
made two crimes where one was
enough. 1t larrups the citizens who
thus permit themselves to become
anarchists because some beast in
human form has broken the law.
The Bepublio recognizes the fact
that the execution of the law lies with
the people and q disrespect for the
law on the part of the people is fatal
to society. There is no influence
that has more power to create a
healthy sentiment than that welded
by the press, and the Republic, in its
present war on mob law, or anarchy as
it terms it, will do more good than
all the official power of all the COVER
nors In Christendom. Texas has been
disgraced by several mobs of late and
our governor, thinking that with the
state treasury at his back and his
commission as ruler over all
Texas in hand, attempted to exc
cute the law himself, He has
made signal failure in every
case and his demagogic Efforts has
perhaps caused an increased contempt
for the law as an engine for the pun
lshment of crime. If the theory of
the administration is correct and the
execution of the laws is with the gov
ernor, his failure in several notable
instances can have no other effect
than to destroy all faith in legal meth
DDS and create spirit of the rankest
anarchy. No, the people themselves
must execute the laws, snd any action
on the part of the governor that as
sumes to take from them this respon-
sibility is fraught with hurtful re.
suits. A healthy law abiding senti-
ment must be inculcated where it
does not exist and the people must
bear in mind constantly that the pre-
servation of society under the law
rests with themselves.
