be nothing more than a farce.
It is also charged that efforts are being

said Mr.. Blaine was better than he had
been during the night, and that that
was to be interpreted as meaning that
the patient was better than he had been
at any time since the relapse. Mr.. Blaine
passed a very comfortable night and
when DR.. Johnston left him his condi-

pected He continued to take nourish.

While he was willing to state that
Mr. Blaine's condition showed improve
ment the physician would not 90 so far
as to assert that improvement could be
maintained. Dr. Johnston added that he
saw Mr.. Blaine during the night but that
his visit was not due to any serious com
plication that had suddenly shown itself.
The family appeared to be without
alarm. During the morning Mrs. Dam
rosch went out for a short walk.
A Street Plano Welcomed.
An incident that attracted the atten.
tion Of passers by was the conduct of
the proprietors of street piano who
drew up in front of the house and began
to grind out the strains of some popular
songs of the day. When warned away by
friends Of the family who were passing
the house these men said they had per-
mission to play there and had done so
late last night. The tunes were de
cidedly lively and when they had fin
ished, a servant appeared at the door
and rewarded them with goodly sum Of
small change.
Senators Frye and Chandler and Con-
gressmen Boutelle aud Hit were among
the morning callers, and all reported Mr..
Blaine as resting very comfortably. There
is, however, no hope held by the family
that the improved condition of Mr. Blaine
is anything more than a temporary sus-
pension of the ravages of the disease that
must sooner or later end in dissolution.
DR.. Hyatt called at 30 and remained
with the sick man for an hour. When
he emerged from the house he said that
MIR. Blaine had rallied from the relapse
that had occurred at midnight, and he
believed him to be in practically tn,
same condition as that noted
during the early part Of last

PTTsBURa, Jan. 10-Discontent ex.
lists among men in the Homestead Steel
works. This dissatisfaction is no greater
among the ex-strikers than among the
non-unionists who claim that they are
not being paid the wages promised them
by agents Of the Carnegie Steel company
throughout the country when entering
the service Of the firm.
The growing Of the old hands becomes
more ominous each day and it is the
opinion, not only Of men who work In the

ally that by Spring the Carnegie com.
pany will have another Homestead strike
on its hands

the wages of only the igh-priced men.
II is under this scale, it vas stated by
company official in Homestead yes

duce igu' es to substantiate their asser-
tions. Under the old scale cupola fore
men in the old converter were paid
So, 56 per 100 tons; iron tappers 81. 6S
per 100 tons and ladlemen 81 66 per 100

those at present paid in the new convert
ing mill show cupola foremen now re-
ceive $1.31 per 100 tons; iron tappers GA
cents per 100 tons and ladlemen $l.4O

Under the old scale eight hour turns
were the rule while now the converting

increase in hours is in effect in every
