better Than Be..en,cr.s.

st. Louis Feb. 2O.-Benjamin Bazille of
st. Louis has invented a process Of steel
manufacturing that, it is clailued, far
eclipscs the discovery of Bessemcr steel
and will SO reduce The cost Of steel rails
that they can by its use be sold at IL good
profit for onc-half the present expense Of
making them. BY nrazelle's process it is
asserted that either pig iron or steel can
be made direct from the ore with a gas
fuel, and it is claimed that by the process
the best Besscmer pig iron can be made
for less than $40 and steel in the billet for
$3.50 o ton. Bessemer received 81, OOO,OO
on the American rights of his patent, the
Carnegie Steel company and other large
concerns being the purchasers. If Bra
zelle's process will accomplish all that is
claimed for it, Bessemer's invention will
be worthless, as it cannot compete with the
other. That some people nave faith in the
st. Louisan's discovery it evidenced by the
fact that the coming week u company will
be organized with a capital of 81, 900. 900 to
build a large plant in East st. Louis during
the next three months to manufacture pig
iron and steel by his process.

was fraud. He believed it to be
fraud. Sherman denied Voorhees,
statement that tho act Of 1873 Vas q
steal by characterization"
voorhees, said the remark was not
meant to apply to Sherman, as he
had cleared himself ofany participa-
ton in it four years ago.
Sherman, continuing. said that it
was strange that on vote on this bill
Stewart OF Nevada voted for it, and
Sherman against it:
Stewart said that in'due time he
would explain how he came to vote
for the bill.
Sherman caused laugh by quoting
from one Of Stewards speeches in the
dobste on the bill of 1873, in which he
declared that "gold was the universal
standard OF the world" and argued
the gold dollar as fixing standard by
which the workman knew exactly
what his labor WAS worth. It was
hot until the silver dollar became
cheaper than gold that it was de-
manded, and then it WAS to cheat the
creditor.
Stewart, at the close OF Sherman's
speech, said he would give u true his
tory of the characterization of silver
next Tuesday.
Teller followed after Voorhees, had
given notice that be would 20 morrow
