COTELL SCORES ONE.
A Peculiar Remark That Favors the
Defense.

AKRON, o., June 30.-Romie Cotell
spent quiet Sunday and came into
court with much composure. The cross
examination of U. N. Hickey was taken
up and the defense made quite strong
point i'll securing the admission of a
conversation witness had with the pris-
oner, after his confession.
Cotell had been asked how he could
stand it to attend the funeral of the
people he killed. He had answered
that he was not sure he killed them at
that time that he did not know he
killed them until Detective Doran told
him so.
This bears out to some extent the de-
Tense of a confession secured by hypno-
tism and the prisoners counsel will
make the most of it.

A Scale Conference May Settle the Dispute
and Work Resume.
YOUNGSTOWN, o., June 30.-Prepara
tons are being made by all the rolling
mills here and through the Mahoning
valley to shut down at the close of the
night turn by reason of the expiration
of the wage scale of the Amalgamated
association. Both employers and the
employees are hopeful that at the adj
journed meeting of the scale conference
to be held here on July 8 an amicable
agreement will be reached on the wage
scale
A gentleman largely interested in the
iron business said: "if business should
improve and the price of iron advance,
the manufacturers would be more than
willing to share the increase with the
employees, but with the iron business in
its present condition they can not see
their way clear to do it. and if the adj
vance of 90 cents per ton for pudding
is insisted upon, the only thing left for
mill owners to do is to keep the mills
closed until business improves or the
old scale is signed. The manufacturers
will probably sign the same scale in
force the past year, and if iron is adj
vanced in price they will pay increased
wages"

by the Agricultural Department.

American Trade with Norway Reviewed
by the Agricultural Department.
WASHINGTON, June 30-The Amsri-
can trade with Norway is reviewed in a
bulletin issued by the agricultural de-
partment. 1t forms the seventh of the
series relating to the extension of for
eign markets for American agricultural
products. The bulletin says the prod
ucts of Norwegian agriculture are not
sufficient to meet the requirements Of
the population, and food stuffs have to
be imported in considerable quantities.
The leading feature is a detailed sta
tistical review of Norway's foreign
trade, attention being given to the char
acter and sources of imported merchan-
disc. The total imports, exclusive of
precious metals, in 1894 were valued at
500, 205,2 10 and the exports at $32 1884,
$50. The principal agricultural imports
are rye and rye -four, wheat flour, cof-
fee, sugar, pork, bacon and hams, hides,
tallow, wool, cotton, wine and lnseed
and rape seed oils.
The principal exports are fish, lum-
Der and manufactures of wool. Fishery
and forest products together constitute
more than two-thirds of the entire eX-
port Norway's trade with the United
States is largely i'll favor of this coun-
try. Our leading exports to Norway
are pork, bacon and hams, hides, tanned
and raw; grease and tallow, wheat and
wheat flour, petroleum and parafiine oil
and machinery. The principal articles
received in return are wood pulp and
fish
