STEEL AND IRON TRADE.

More Hopeful Feeling Spreading
Among Eastern Manufacturers.
New YORK, Feb. 2l.-The Iron Age,
to-day says: In spite of the continued
low prices of iron and steel products. a
more hopeful feeling is spreading among
Eastern manufacturers. This is due prin-
cipally TO the fact that costs have been
steadily crowded down, until now makers
feel that they are partly safe in their own
territory, This applies to pig iron as well
as to steel. In the latter the basis is upon
hearth furnaces, which has become the
salvation Of the Eastern maker. Pig iron
for this purpose is being delivered at a
low price, while cheap melting scrap has
been available in quantity in their terri
tory, The result is that, with modern,
improved practice, open-hearth steel can
be produced il ths n et r est yg.-.-
close TO the price at which Western and
Bessemer can be laid down in the Eastern
markets. This is phase of recent de-
velopments which has inspired so much
confidence that considerable improve
ments in rolling mill and steel plants are
either under way or are in contemplation.
The current week has brought little
that is sensational. In Bessemer pig
Pittsburg records the sale of one 10000
ton block at $40, but has done relatively
little in steel billets or wire rods. On tho
whole the market is steady.
The advance IN the prices of rough iron
pipe seems to have had the usual effect Of
causing buyers to test the sincerity OF
sellers by keeping out OF the market.
In metals an advance in tin is noted,
Copper is weaker, while lead has de-
clined under the pressure of moderate
sales.

PORTLAND (Or.), Feb. 22.-Only one
more day remains of the active session of
the Oregon Legislature, and unless q
United States Senator is elected by to-
morrow night, Oregon will have but one
Representative in the upper branch OF
Congress for the next two years. Dolph's
strength is gradually melting away, and
it is now practically settled that he can
not be elected. He lost two more votes
to-day. which brings his vote down to 81,
or 8 short of majority.
The opposition say they are working
in the interest of no particular candidate,
but their fight is anything to beat
Dolph." They say they stand ready to
vote for any one else the Dolph men may
put forward, but their opposition to
Dolph is firm and determined.
George II. Williams received the entire
opposition vote to-day, with the excep-
ton of two. He is looked upon with
favor by many of the Dolph men, but
they feel it incumbent upon them to vote
for the caucus nominee as long as there is
chance of his elec ion.
At 10 O'Clock tonight the Dolph men
caucused TO decide whether to prevent an
election or name man upon whom the
opposition will unite, the result of which
is not yet known. In the event of break
from Dolph or decision on part of his
supporters to name man, the support is
liable to 60 to George III. Williams, Gov
ernor Lord or c. W. Fulton of Astoria.
The Populists have decided to take no
part in the fight. One ballot was tax en-
to-day with the following result: Dolph,
81; Williams, 80; Hare (Pop.), 10; Raley
Oem.), 3: Smith, /; Fulton, /; Lord, |;
absent, 3.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-It is positively
denied at the Navy Department that any
report has been received from Admiral
Beardslee, commanding the Pacific sta
ton and now at Honolulu, condemning
the character of the work at Mare Island
Navy Yard or that Secretary Herbert has
ordered an investigation of the affairs al

1t is also said that so far as the depart
ment is informed the work done at this
yard is fully up to the standard else
where.

phla's starboard engines broke down on
the trip to Honolulu. the Secretary him.
self has stated that Admiral Beardslees S
report made no mention of any such mis-
hap, but attributed the delay in the pas
sage mainly to inferior coal.
AS for the Boston, which is also cited
as an example of bad work, it is said that
the vessel has been lying at Mare Island
navy I ard Tor months out of commits
sion, although ready for service and in
good order, simply for lack OF men to
make up crew.
The Bennington is being held at Aca-
pulco, according to Admiral Ramsey, the
Chief OF the Navigation Bureau, not be-
cause she is not i'll perfect order, but be-
cause this is convenient port at which
vessels may be ordered at short notice to
proceed either south or to Central Amer
lea or across the Pacific,
AS for the Yorktown, which is said to
be suffering from leaky boiler tubes, it is
said that this is probably true, but it is
not IN any sense reflection upon the
character of the Mare Island work that
the tubes should leak after the vessel had
crossed the Pacific and had been in hard
service on foreign coasts.
In the Senate Navy Affairs Committee
a resolution was adopted by unanimous
vote to-day recommending the increase
OF the navy as provided in the naval ap-
preparation bill now before the Senate
Committee on Appropriations.
The committee agreed to report an
amendment to the naval bill for an ap-
preparation of 100000 for the dock yards
at Mare Island, and another providing
that officers of the navy detailed for shore
duty shall receive sea pay while perform
ing this duty.

DOUGLASS LAST LETTER.

SALT LAKE, Feb. 22.-A special from
Butte, Mont, to the Herald says: Ellis
p. Passmore of this city to-day received a
letter written by Frederick Douglass two
days before the latter's death. The letter
is as follows:
CEDAR HILL, ANACosTA I'd. c.,
February l7Lh.
"E. p Pa8Smore-M DEAR SIR: /
cannot say am much elated by the VIC
tory by the Republican party, though [
am glad that the Democratic party has
met with defeat. l have my fears that
the victory OF the Republicans may
make them even little more indifferent
about protecting human rights, under
the Constitution, than they were when i'll
power before. Ii is TO the shame of the
Republican party that it could protect the
rights OF American citizens everywhere
but at home. 1t made no earnest effort to
see that the Constitution was obeyed in
the Southern States and the balIot-box
protected. The fourteenth amendment
declares that when any State shall de-
prlve any of its citizens of the elective
franchise, representation shall be re-
duced, etc. No attempt has been made
to enforce this provision by the Republi-
can party or any other, yet all swore to
support the Constitution. l have not de-
clared for any particular candidate for
the Repu Dllcan nomination in 1896, nor
do see any need of such declaration at
this distance of time. The man likely to
get it will be from State which the Re-
publicans may think it difficult but i'm
portant to carry. Old Mr.. Availability
will, as usual, decide the question as TO
who the man shall be. Still we have
chance of getting better man from the
Republicans than from the Democrats or
the Populists. Very truly yours,

WAsHIN GToN, Feb. 22.-This being
Washington's birthday, the National
Congress of Women now in session here
chose patriotic subjects for consideration
at both its morning and evening sessions.
The morning session was divided into
two parts, assigned to patriotism as an
element in government and patriotism in
school government.
Kate BroWnlee Sherwood of Ohio rend
the report of the Committee on Patriotic
Teaching She then discussed the influ-
euce of patriotism in founding and pre- :
serving free institutions. She said, in
part: Patriotism does not reach it's
highest form on the battlefield when the
trumpets blare and the General cries
Forward Splendid is the patriotism
that leads man to die for his country in
the fore front of battle; but splendid be-
yond human speech to depict is the patri-
otiSm that leads to the martyrs stake. to
the death of humiliation, defeat and the
reproach OF men. She who leads a tenn
perance crusade is nobler than he who
wrenched Jerusalem from the Saracens.
He who tounds school is greater than
he who builds an armory. A free kinder
garten that teaches the use of hand and
eye and fertile brain is better. A training
school of industrial arts would do more
for popular advancement in a decade
than West Point has done in all the years
of its existence"
Then she declared that women are citi-
Zens, II not voters. Their interest in
moral and municipal reforms was arous-
ing them TO q sense of their duty and
power for good. She held that woman
was natural reformer, and that her in
terest should be awakened not only where
purity and temperance are involved, but

PAPER HOSIERY.
The Latest Effort to Supply the Place
of the Fabrics.

Paper gloves and hosiery are named as
among the very latest novelties. Stock
lngs which shall sell at three cents a pair
are proposed. In fact, the experiment of
making paper stockings has been going
on for several months, and the party en-
gagged therein believes that paper nit
tens or gloves would possess advantages
in their season. The goods are light and
airy and very comfortable in summer
When finished and dyed their appear
anca is similar to ordinary fabric goods.
The knitting is from paper yarns. The
paper yarns are made pretty much after
the plan of making common paper
twines, except that the former are put
through certain special processes. The
principle is that OF making a sort of nap
on the yarns. This is done automati-
cally. Ordinary paper twine or yarn
is too smooth, but good gigging up
gives the yarn nap and this imparts
softness. After the knitting has been
done the goods are placed in sizing
bath made from patato starch and tallow,
which imparts solidity and durability to
the texture.

champion middle-weight of Ireland, and
Jim Hall of Australia as the chief feature.

tors Kissed the decision.
The battle was very tame, Maher fore
ing the fighting in all but the fourth
round, and doing the most effective work.
Throughout the contest Hall was on the
defensive, and the GOODNESS with which
the sixth round was fought, which was
expected to be the hottest round, when
both men walked to their corners, called
forth Kisses from the spectators.
Maher was in perfect fighting form at
III pounds. Hall was trim at l673.
Maher forced Hall to the four corners of
the ring. and made his object the head
of the Australian. at no time during the
contest was there an indication OF a finish
contest, but Maher showed his superi-
ority in leading and couutering.

Louise e. Barnum Robbins of Michi-
gan then discussed the part played by
patriotism through the schools in form
ing the character of American citizens.
She said: 1.-The people have established
free schools and free education. If need
be, let them assume control of the text
books, and let few Jeffersons and Web
sters and Clays and Wendell Phillips be
found for the noble task of compiling in
our school books tho high thoughts of
man and God and patriotism, to be alb
sorbed by the outreaching hearts of chill
dren. With the right textbook placed
IN the school, the teachers with lofty ideas
OF integrity, honor and patriotism
placed in the schools, the children will
do homage to it as well as to grand ideas.
Teach the inspiring 'Star-Spangled Ban
ner' and Rally Around the Flag and
there will be rally, and the children
will learn to love the flag whose folds
protect them. Teach youth the splendor
OF great ideas by recounting tho num-
bered examples taught III our history"
