Chicago Men Fail to Recognize Case Of

CHICAGO, March 1.-The dispatches
from Pierre, 8. D.. saying that Charles
T.. Mccoy of that city had been arrested

Treasurer Taylor, and that Charles Fl.
Wells and d. *. Tenney of Chicago

does not know where the law comes
from under which 1t 10 proposed 10 prose-
cute him; neither does he know how he
could be guilty Of conspiracy i'm the
State Of Dakota, when as matter Of
fact he had never been there. Neither
had he ever seen Mccoy. Whatever
connection he and Mr.. Wells had with
ex-Treasurer Taylor had been i'm pro-
fessional way, and whatever informa-
tion they had secured from him, had
been i'm aprofessional manner. Beyond
this there was absolutely no connection.
Judge Mcconnell, who was in Mr..
Tenney's room at the time the interview
took place, said that he did not believe
an attempt would ever be made to Rring

QUEBEC, March 1.-The successful
tempering of aluminium, SO as to give ii
the consistency of iron, is the triumph
of #. Allard, the Lewis blacksmith,
whose re-discovery of the lost Egyptian
art of hardening copper startled the me-
chanical world three or four years ago.
He has made and hardened cannon,
which has just been tested i'm the pres
ence of Colonel Spence, the American
consul here, and number of others,
with success.
This cannon is % inches long and five

Tapping Of Rivers in the United States
Causes Mexican DrOuths.
WASHINGTON, March CHARLES E.
Wesche, acting United States consul at
Paso del Norte, Mex, has told in a
pathetic way through a report to the
state department of the sufferings of
the people of that section through
drought brought on by the diversion of
the waters Of the Rio Grande by the
agrieulturists of Colorado and New
Mexico. He recalls the facts that Mex
leo by treaty consented to an equal
share with the United States of the
waters of this river, and shows how a
vast tract of Mexican land, which for
merly produced great crops is now bar
rem as q result of the operations of the
irr gat.on companies in the upper river
and tributaries in Colorado and
New Mexico. Attention is called TO the
recommendation Of President Cleve-
land that a mixed commission be Gre
ated with power to build a great reser-
voir at Paso del Norte to store the win
ter flood waters for use in irrigating the
lands on the lower river, which for 10
years has been pade dry every sum-
mer.

SENATE is PLEASED
Action of British Parliament on
Monetary Conference a
Welcome Surprise.
WERE NOT EXPECTING
The Monetary Conference Pro
posed by Germany Almost
an Assured Fact.

WASHINGTON, March THE men,
bers of the senate are not SO much con-
cerned with domestic legislation as to
preclude their giving careful attention
to the movement in Europe for another
international conference looking to the
rehabilitation of silver. The successful
presentation of Mr.. Everett's resolution
in the British house Of commons proved
pleasant surprise to a large majority
of the senator's. The more extreme sill
yer men go further than the senators
only and still contend that the United
States need not wait upon any other
government, but a majority of them
comprehend SO thoroughly that il an in
ternational agreement can be arranged, :,
it will at one stroke remove all their
difficulties, that they, too, appreciate
the improved prospects abroad, while
still contending for independent action
by the United States.
Was Great Surprise.
Very few of the senator's, of whatever
views ON the silver question were pre-
pared for the action Of the British par
lament, for they had not considered
that the present government would con-
sent TO another conference, but now
that the Everett resolution has been
adopted some of them interpret it to in
dicate that resistance to it means the
downfall of the present administration.
Hence they find special encouragement
in the inference that the British nation
is behind the official action of its Iegis-
lature. In view Of these facts they re-
gard the conference as an assured fact
and the opinion is almost uniform that
the result of its proceedings must be
far more satisfactory to the advocates of
bimetallism than the Brussells con-
vention.
senator TelIer's Views.
Senator Teller. representing probably
the extreme views in the senate, ex-
pressed doubt whether England VIII
consent to a modification of her. cur
rency system, but he thinks that other
nations, such as France and Germany,
may make change, which is more, he
says, than has heretofore been expected.
Senators Allison, Platt, Chandler and
Hill, and others regard the adoption of
the resolution as a most propiticus
omen. Senator Allison, who was a
member of the Brussels conference, ex-
pressed the opinion that England would
make important concessions i'm case of
another conference.

PRESENT DIVORCE LAWS.

The Cnnncil OF Women Considers a Most
Important Topic.
WAsHINaToN, March l.--Complaints
against the present system of divorce
laws was the burden of the days session
of the national council of women. The
entire days session was devoted to this
theme and number of interesting adj
dresses were delivered before q crowded
hall. The discussion was led by the Of
fetal report of the committee ON divorce
reform, read by Bottelle DIETRICH, Of
MassaehusetSs. 1t embodied replies re-
celyed from number of state
governors who were asked to call
the attention of Legislators to
the status of divorce laws. and
to appoint committee to consist of an
equal number of men and women to
consider tho matter. The question, the
report said, was one vitality concerning
the happiness and welfare of 20. .OOO, 600
peoples of whom half are of the female
SEX, and added:
siaeuId Consider the Significance.
woman should thoughtfully consider
the significance of the fact that 81 of
these mascu.ine servants Of the people
made 10 response to this just request of
representative women. Only two,
Greenhalge of Massachusetts, and
Brown of Rhode Island, promised to do
all in their power to carry out the re-
quest. The governor of South Carolina
wrote that the state had no divorce
laws and its people were better
satisfied than their neighbors
whose states have divorce laws. The
report said that the fact that 23 states
have appointed bodies of men to tinker
with dsyorce laws, without appointing
any women, ought to show women i'm
what INIT nation the men of the United
StakeB hpld their opinions. The officials
serving the interests OF the United
States cherish frank contempt for
woman's opinions and wishes, was the
conclusion expressed in the report.

IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Zig PNrchasss OF Bessemer Give Strength
to tine Market.

/ 4 !. :.
Zig Purchases OF I3essemer Give strength
to tine Market.
CLEVELAND, o., March THE Iron
Trade Review this week says:
The buying of Bessemer pig iron by
the leading Pittsburg interest as noted
last week has continued, and the ad-
vance OF this metal to &I0.25 Mt Pitts
burg is the most significant develop
ment of the week. 1t il estimated that
from 70, 900 to $4,000 tons Of Bessemer
iron have been taken i'm these purchases,
sufficient to give decided strength TO
that market. Comment on these trans
actions among the interests affected
runs to their bearing upon the future
prices of Lake Superior ore and Connells-
vile coke. They are interpreted as con-
firmation of the view taken for some
time that coke contracts after April /,
and ore contracts after May I, will be
on higher basis, and, therefore, as far
as Bessemer pig is concerned, the lowest
price has been touched, the same state
ment applying also to Bessemer steel
products generally. The period Of un-
certainty as to the course of the market
for foundry and mill irons in the spring
months seem to have about run its
course, and later developments strength
en- the belief that the present time offers
advantages to the buyer that will not be
duplicated when consumption by mills
and foundries broaden, ais is counted ON
in the second quarter of the year.
About $4,000 tons is involved in con-
tracts recently made, and those pending
car works are buster. The 5000 cars of
the New York Central, 1000 of the
Pennsylvania and 1000 Of Western
line, besides smaller orders, give much
improved outlook, and some bar iron
contracts have been made in conse-
Uuence

Superior Duluth mills ground 1883
barrels against 43,6OO the week before,

more mills are going the present week

The West Virginia Congress-
man Succeeds Postmaster
General Bissell.
WAS CLEvELAND's OWN CHOICE
Appointment Made Without
the Request of Wilson or
His Friends.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The presi-
dent has nominated William L. Wilson
of West Virginia, to succeed Wilson s..
Bissell as postmaster general.
Mr.. WILSON'S RECORD.

William L. Wilson is best known to
the country in connection with his re-
cent tariff work in congress. He has
been tariff student since he first en-.
tered congressional life, in 1882, but il
was not until the present congress that
he became chairman of the ways and
means committee, and as such the off,
cial leader of the Anajority in the house.
Prior to his first election to congress, in
1882, he had taken little part in politics,
except in being a delegate to the Demo
cratic national convention at Cincin-
matt, and subsequently, an electoral
large from West Virginia. Early in
1852 he was chosen president of the
University of West Virginia. This would
have fixed Mr.. Wilson's sphere of work
had it not been for. q political ruction
and party split at his home in Charles
ton, w. va, which was settled by the
opposing factions uniting ON MIR. VIII
son. The campaign was hot one. Mr..
Wilson finally won BY nine votes. He
was then reelected to six successive
congresses. He received good commit
tee appointments from the first, going
on Judiciary, appropriations and ways
. and means. His experience shortly
natter the war as q professor Of law in
sColumbia college equipped him for the
work ON the Judiciary committee.
Leader I'm Four TariR Fights.
In the four congressional eras of re-
cent tariff changes-the Morrison bill,
the Mills bill, the Mckinley bill and the
Wilson bill--Mr. Wilson took leading
part. He did much of the work in con-
strncting the Mills bill, and he and Rep
resentative Breckinridge started ON a
successful tour Of platform speeches
throughout the East, endorsing Presi-
dent Gleyeland's tariff EsNision naAs-
sage:
During the Mills-Crisp contest for the
speakership, Mr.. Wilson cast his lot
with Mr.. Mills, and when MIR. Crisp
won, he designated Mr.. Springer chair
man of the ways and means committee.
When reelected speaker, however, Mr..
Crisp named Mr.. Wilson chairman Of
the ways and means, and in this capac-
ity he framed the measure which was
the basis Of the present tariff law.
The Presidents Own Choice.
The fact that President Cleveland in
tended to appoint Mr.. Wilson to the po-
sition has been known for several days to
the most intimate friends of Mr.. Wilson
and himself. The selection is one which
the president made OF his own motion,
without any ..urging from Mr.. Wilson's
friends.
