OUTLOOK is VERY Blue
That Is What General Manager Nc
Kinney Thinks of Steel Trade.
NO ORDERS ARE NOW ON HAND
Railroad! Companies Arc Not Ordering
Any Rails, but When They DO Mr.. Nc
kinney Expects the Scranton Mills
to Get Share of orders.

General Manager Carl w. Mckinney,
of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel COM
pany was seen at his office yesterday
afternoon and asked by a Tribune re-
porter to give his views on the pros
poets of the steel trade. He shook his
head and replied that he was sorry to
be obliged to say that he could not
give any cheering news, but on the con-
trary that the outlook from present
indications is decidedly blue.
At present the company has no orders
at all, not for a single ton of steel and
there is no telling when an order will
be received. The railroad companies
are not buying any rails and the de-
mand for merchant hardware Is eXceed-
ingly dull. Ordinarily the market is
not active at the beginning of the year,
but then in the past it was such that
the steel companies could look ahead
and base their calculations on prospec-
tive trade.
For instance If the steel trade had
been brisk at the end of the year and a
temporary lull arose at the beginning
of the new year, the companies could
calculate that the demand would again
become lively as soon as the market
got cleared of the old year stock.
Has Been Sluggish for Months.
But the steel trade has been sluggish
and duh for many months back and it
has continued the same up till the pres
ent. Mr.. Mckinney would not make a
comparison between the expectation
for the current year and the output for
1894. All he would say was that the
Scranton mills did most of the manu-
featuring of steel rails last year for the
district east of the Allegheny noun
tains; that is they got the biggest
share of what work there was, and he
expects that the same rule will apply
| in the coming season when there may
| be any demand for the product of the
mills.
A press dispatch was published about
| week ago in several newspapers stat
ing that the Pennsylvania Steel com
pany had sub-divided an order for 80.
| 900 tons of rails among three companies
of this state. Mr.. Mckinney branded
| that dispatch as untrue and could moi
imagine how it could have originated
| Under present conditions any order
| that a steel company receives is little
enough for its own mills, and it is non
sense to think, he said, that the Penn
sylvania company would be SO gener

In order to prevent this peril, which had
been foreseen, the boatswain's lively whis-

was soon heard encouraging the men as
they worked at the windlass.

For a sumptuous velvet gown, in rich
violet shades that run into gold in certain
lights. this pearl-festooned robe is a fine
example 1t runs eXtravagantly to breadth
of shoulders, caused by the wide, spread
ing embroidered bands, from under which
wide lace stands out. In effect it is the
style of gown that Mrs. Stevenson likes,
and in which she presents regal appear
ance. Velvet is much worn for both gowns
and wraps, and if properly made, and not
too much ornamented. nothing handsomer
can be imagined. 1t is so much cheaper
now than it was few years back that it
is not such an extravaganza, either.
1t is muttered that the hoop is about to
appear. The dress skirts are made
heavy with crinoline that they are

and from running whaleboneS in the bot
toms of the gowns to fastening them on
tapes by themselves is n short step.
But. then, the boned skirts are graceful
and the hoop skirts are exactly the oppo-
site. it is to be hoped that the heavy
skirt will be abandoned, and then we shall
not need the hoop.

hight across the bay, and every heart on
board bounded with exultation under the
influence of this inspiring scene. At that
moment the Constitution rose on a higher
swell than usual, then sank with quick
but easy motion into the hollow of the sea-
and with a fearfully sudden shock struck
at the center of her keel on shoal. She
rose on the next wave, and, again descend
ing, struck with even greater violence.
She Strikes on u ShOaI.
For a moment everyone seemed para
lyzed; the cook, who was as black as
Egypt, sprang up the hatchway with eyes
starting out of his head and complexion
several shades lighter than usual
But l we'll remember that the first and
chief thought that came to my mind at
that moment was: Has the old Constitu-
tion found her grave here at last?"
The loud cry to try the pumps rang
through the ship. This being done, it was
found that the leak had doubled; but as it
did not increase beyond that degree, it was
concluded that the old frigate was In no
immediate danger, and would probably float
until we could get her to Portsmouth, un-
less the weather should again become
stormy. am firmly of the opinion, which
you may call superstition, If you please,
that if 1T had been any ether snip than the
ever lucky Constitution, this accident would
have been the end of her. All night we

about the old hulk, moored by the wharf

has been built over her to fit her for a re-
ceiving ship, but it sadly disfigures her ap-
repairs, repeated from time to time. And
yet as a matter Of patriotism, she ought
to be repaired and preserved, as nearly as
possible, as she formerly looked. 1t would
cost only few thousand dollars. Do not

Victory, Lord Nelson's flagship at the bat
tie of Trafalgar. She has been, indeed
what is called a lucky ship. She never
lost a battle, she never fell into the hands
of the enemy, and she never was disabled
by storm. Many narrow escapes she has
had in her long and prosperous career, and
she has come triumphant out of all her
adventures. Like the Constitution of the
United States after which she was named,
she has withstood every danger that
threatened, and is fitting type of the
ship of state.
OF course during her seventy-five years
of active service the Constitution often
needed to be repaired, But although the
material in her has been often replaced,
she always continued the same ship, just
as the human body is the same body of the
same person, though it's substance is con-
stantly changing. In 1880 it was decided
that the good frigate Constitution would
hardly warrant the cost of repairs, espe-
cially when the nature of modern naval
warfare was considered. She was, there
fore, condemned, and was about to be

shamed Congress, and it was decided to
repair once more the old WarshiD. She
took several cruises after that, and once

ashore, and. being old, there was every
reason why she should have left her bones
OF the coast; but, with her usual good
luck, the Constitution got off without seri-
Gus damage and returned to her native
land.
But a day came at last when no further
repairs would avail. and government
which pays little for sentiment would
spend nothing to keep up a ship which had

she had had the necessary spars and sails.

night out of the northwest; bat, as may be
seen at a glance on the chart, we were IN
der the lee of the land, and lay as snug as
possible, surrounded by fleet of schoon-
ers, which had also sought shelter under
Cape Cod.
By the next afternoon the weather had

BURIED AS A PAUPER,
Ard the United States Refuses to Pay the
 Funeral Expenses.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Assistant Secretary of the Interior John M. Reynolds yesterday decided that mu- nicipal corporation which cares for sick soldier and buries him as a paul. per in potters' field has no right to re- imbursenent under the pension laws. Had the corporation cared for and buried him decently, then the claim would have been allowed.
 The case in point was that of Ed ward HaslSins. of Co., F, tbirty-third New York infantry, who died in St. Cloud. Minn., where he had been con- fined as the result of spree. He left no property, and the city buried him as a pauper and asked the interior de- partment to reimburse it. Judge Reynolds disallowed the claim.
