BLAINE'S WESTERN TRIP

Not Yet Given Up-COloneI Conger says the
Great Statesman viii Yet Visit Joseph
MediII This Winter-Loaded With At
fiIctions Till He Could Bear No More.
CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 29.-[ Special. l.
Colonel A. L. Conger, of Akron, who for
wears has been recognized as one of James
G. Blaine's warmest personal friends, was
in this city to-day. Speaking of the states
mans health he said: 'rMr Blaine has been
invited by Joseph Medill, of the Chicago
Tribune, to spend the winter with him at
his winter home in Pasadena, Cal, and he
will go as soon as his attending physicians
deem it safe and advisable to move him.
"Have you seen Mr.. Blaine recently?"
was asked.
"No. The last time saw him was upon
my return from Europe That was about
October 20, and in New York City, When
1 called upon him he was feeling greatly de-
pressed, and seemingly took very little
interest in anything. My wife and tried
to cheer him up, but it was impossible The
death of Emmons was a crushing blow to
him, and he was constantly talking of his
dead son.
"The truth of the matter is, Mr. Blaine
had reached that point where he could stand
no more. Affection after affliction visited
him and he met them all with the greatest
fortitude. At last there was reaction and
he was forced to succumb. However, 1
think Mr.. Blaine has many years of useful
ness ahead of him yet If he is able to
weather his present illness-and the indica-
tions are that he will-his health will be
better than it has been for long time"

TROUBLE OVER PAGO PAGO.
The Appropriation for a Coaling Station
There Won't Quite Reach.

The Appropriation for a Coaling Station
There Won't Quite Reach.
WASHINGTON, Dec: 29-The Navy De-
partment has encountered another obstacle
in its work of equipping the coaling station
in the harbor of Pago Pago, Samoa, recently
acquired by the United States At the last
session of Congress an appropriation of
500, 600 was made toward the purchase of
the necessary land for the station and its
equipment for the purposes for which it is
intended. Acting under this authority of
Congress bids were invited for the con-
struction of an iron pier, with the neces-
sary landing facilities, and they were
opened at the Navy Department early last
week. Seven bids were received, but the
only two low enough to justify further con-
sideration were those of B. McMahon &
Son, of San Francisco, at S78, 100 and the
Corando Machine Company, of San Diego,
Cal, at SS4, 500. 1t so happens, however,
that even these bids are in excess of the
available balance of the specific appropri-
alton, which has already suffered several
drains to meet necessary preliminary ex-
pense on account of purchase of land, sur
veys, ETC., aggregatIng about S35, 600.
The question now agitating the depart
ment, therefore, is not SO much as to which
OF the two bids shall be accepted, as to the
best manner of supplying the deficiency in
the appropriation. There are two ways of
doing this, one by asking Congress to in
crease the amount so as to admit of the ac-
ceptance of one of the two bids in question,
and the other by utilizing as much of the
general appropriation OF S25Q,0 for coal
ing stations as may be required to meet the
f1l1 nf ba r1io OF
Pago. 1t is admitted that the station with
out the wharf facilities would be of doubt
ful utility, but at the same time the Secre-
tary OF the Navy is said to question seri-
ously the propriety of drawing upon one
appropriation to make up for a deficiency
in another. The matter is now in the hands
of Judge Advocate General Lemley, and
will probably be disposed of, one way or
another, in few weeks.

STEEL RAILS LOWER
Eastern Mills Announce the Sale of $4,000
Tons.


+ NEW YORK, Dec. 90. [SpeciaIl-The Iron
Ace saws: Practically all along the line
business has been at standstill during the
past week so far as new orders are con-
cerned large number of the mills
throughout the country are closing down
for repairs and for stock taking. In some
instances, however, the stoppage is due to
accommodations of finished goods to a lack of
orders or to pending readJustments of
wages. The fact is conspicuous, however,
that in nearly every branch of the iron and
steel trades the competition for work is
sharper than it ever has been.
The finished iron and steel trade is unset
tied. The most interesting event of the
week is the lowering in the price of steel
rails to So9 Eastern mills announce the
sale of IS 900 tons, this being the heaviest
amount closed in one week for a good many
months.
There has been very little movement in
the metal market. There was considerable
speculative business in tin early in the
week under review, and the market closes
with metal easier. Lead maintains its newly
acquired strength. Spelter continues dull,
while tinplates are quiet, with little doing
for forward delivery.
