AKRON, OAIo, Jan. s.-The agent Of
the Associated Press called upon A. L.
Conger, who is the president Of the
Diamond Plate Glass Company, OF Ko-
komo and Elwood, Ind, here to-day,
and handed him copy Of the dispatch
from Mr.. c. B. Mclean, OF the Pitts.
burgh Plate Glass Company, which ap..
peared in the morning papers OF yester-.
day, in which Mr. Mclean said that the
Diamond company had notified them
that they would cut the price OF plate
glass 20 per cent. Colonel Conger said:
This dispatch is erroneous, so far as
our company is concerned, and does ua
injustice. The facts arc that tho plate
glass business has been badly demoral-
lied for tho past year or more, owing to
the great change in business wrought
by the panic. All the companies have
been selling glass at more than 40 per
cent less than we were prior to the
panic. For several weeks past We have
been in frequent session trying to see
how VIC could cheaper the cost Of pro.
duction, discussing various plans,
methods, ETC., but we have not yet
agreed upon any p!an."

gress--Docsnt Expect tho Carlisle
Bill 20 Hcmedy All Evils, but
Thinks 1t Stop In tho Right Dlroc-
tion--iio Points Out No Flaws In IL,
Howevor-A Dull Day in Congress.

WASHINGTON, D. o., Jau. 3.-Presidont
Cleveland has not yot determined to
send a special message to Congress on
tho currency question. This was def.
nitoly aaccrtainod to-day by leaders OF
the house who had heard that a special
message was contemplated.
1t was learned that Secretary Carlisle
had mentioned tho matter to tho Presi.
dent and II had been discussed in n
general way. There had hcen no con.
clusion reached, however. and up TO tho
present timo the President had not
framed such q message, or in fact dc.
termined TO send one.
Tho President has thrown of his
usual reserve In discussing the pending
currency bill with members OF Congress.
Chairman Springer. OF the. currency
committee. Representative Culberson,
and several other house leaders, have
called at the white house OF late and
have talked ut length with tho Presi-
don't on tho currency question. In
these talks Mr.. Cleveland. has urged the
great need OF passing some form Of cur
rency legislation. He has pointed ou.
that tho Carlisle bill was not, reform
OF overy existing evil OF the financial
system. any more than the tariff bill
was complete realization Of tho hopes
OF tariff reform. Yet in the judgment OF
the President, the Carlisle bill was a
step in the right direction and with
that accomplished there was hope OF pro-
crossing until the financial system was
perfected at every point. Mr. Glove.
land expressed his approval OF the Car
Isle bill as whole and in detaih He
did not point Quito his callers anything
that ho regarded rs flaw in 1t. Ho ex-
pressed tho hope that 1t would receive
favorable and speedy action.

GEOlsGIA EuECrIOSS,

Tho County Returns Show Democratic
Gains Over tho Popnlists. y
ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 3.-Ihe interest
in the county elections throughout
Georgia was slight and the returns arc
coming in slowly. The result in the
state shows heavy Democratic gains in
all counties. Many counties which
were strongly Populis.ic in the last two
elections returned TO the Democratic
fold. Gwynet.e. Borrow, Douglas. Polk,
Merrlwether, Campbell and Geodon
have all come back into the Democratic
ranks.
The negroes in many oi the counties
voted solldly with the Democrats. ou.
OF one hundred and thirty counties in
the state the total number carried BY
Populists will probably not exceed
fifteen, giving them the benefit OF some
OF the doubtful counties remote from
telegraph stations. in which tho result
canuot be ascertained until tho official
count is made.

PiTrsBuRGu, Pa, Jan. a-The strike
at the Homestead steel works has been
about settled by the Carnegie Steel
Company agreeing to pay tho employees
Of the l19.inch mill, the only depart.
ment on strike. at the rate OF 81 10 per
ton by which they can mako 81 so per
day. The men claimed that under the
scale previously offered they could not
make moro than 90 cents per day. It 10
probable that the men will accept the
new terms and 20 to work tonight.

agreeing to allow the men ITO tons a
DAY, whether that amount was worked
or not Tonight the men are inclined
to kick over the traces, because, by
agreement. they would get pay for only
ITO tons, even II ll5 tons were turned
out, and 1t is q question whether the
night crew will accept the compromise
which gives the sheazsman's helpers
81 80 day, whereas formerly they
earned between 81 and S.
Aside from the trouble in the 11e.
inch mill, number OF the others shut
down because, the men say, not enough
signatures to the scale have been se-
cured. Superintendent Schwab, how
ever, says enough men have signed to
start all the mills. However this may
be, certain it is that tho 33-inch the
S5.inch and the 37.inch mills are all
down. The workers say none OF the 49,
inch men have signed and only a limited
number in the others.
At Braddock, where the ore-handlers
are on strike, meeting was held to-
night by the men and the committee
which conferred with Superintendent
Gayley. The company's ultimatum was
made known, and out.of 400 men pres.

THE SENATE

4 Racket Abont tho Senate Restaurant.
Mr. Morgan on tho Mexican Canal Bill.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. 3.-The res.
olution heretofore introduced by Mr..
Allen (Populis., Nobraska,) relating to
the occupation Of rooms in the base
men. OF the senate wing Of the capitol
for restaurant purposes gave rise to IN
interesting debate during tho morning
hour OF tho session OF the senate to-day.
Mr.. Allen severely criticised the prac.
tice OF furnishing to the proprietors OF
tho restaurant free OF cost his furniture,
ice, etc, and asserted 1t was a violation
OF the statutes and constituted larceny
OF the public funds. Messrs. Hale (Rep.,
Maine. and Manderson (Rep., Nebras.
ka,J replied TO the observation OF Mr..
Allen and defended the existing prac-
ticcs. No action was taken on tho
resolution.
The remainder Of the day was takcn
up BY Mr.. Morgan, Dem. Alabama),
in speech on the Nicaraguan Canal
bill, in which he replied in detail to the
Arguments advanced by Mr.. Turpie,
Dem, Indiaua), in opposition to the
bill.
lIe argued against tho proposition Of
Mr.. Turpie that the canal should be
built by sections and asserted that the
cost would be three times greater to
build it than il constructed in the ordi-
nary manner.
MIR. Morgan declared that il the SEN
ator's position regarding tho possibili.
ty Of tho successful completion OF the
canal in view OF the obstacles named by
him was correct. the substitute offered
by Mr.. Turpie, providing fora survey to
ascertain the practicability OF construc-
ton was illogical.
The senator from Indiana had said
that after long search ho had failed to
find any legislative precedent for tho
bill. In this connection Mr.. Morgan
cited the action Of the government in
taking S7,000,000 stock in the bank of
the United States and tho law of 1874
providing for tho endorsement Of $780,.
00O, 1000 OF the bonds OF tile District OF
Columbia. Nothing, Mr.. Morgan as.
serted, existed or could exist beyond
our territorial limits to bridge tho power
OF Congress to regulate commerce with
foreign countries.
Before Mr.. Morgan finished his rc.
marks tho senate, at 5 o'clock. adjourned.
