NO IRON In HIS.
Story Regarding the New Rookie.
feIIer Venture Denied.

CLEVELAND, Dec. John Rockefeller will
not engage in the iron manufacturing bust
ness. That this did not leak out before NAV
be attributed to the fact that Mr.. Rockefeller
has in the present case, as is usually his
custom, kept counsel with himself, and conse-
quently the public has been gulled by men
who, according to Mr.. Rockefeller's repre-
sentative, have simply taken advantage Of
the rumors that have been floating about to
further private schemes.
L. NJ Bowers manager of the Bessemer
steamship company, which Is the name under
which Mr.. ROckefeller's business is con-
Quoted, returned today from New York city
where he has been in consultation with Mr.
Rockefeller and his closest business associates
Mr.. Bowers says: There is absolutely no
truth in the rumors to the effect that Mr.
Rockefeller is to engage in the iron manu-
featuring business Nothing is further from
his intention. His construction Of our fleet of
boats boats was done simply in order to develop
his iron ore mining interests. The stories
were started by men who had real estate or
other personal schemes to further.
The Bessemer Steamship company has
ordered another new steel steamer 37S feet
long, capable of carrying 1850 gross tons to
16 feet draft, and to cost $3.50 900. Of F w
Wheeler & Co.. of Bay City.

duties and a discriminating protective
tariff. I believe that if it is, necessary
to have a high tariff on certain prod
ucts and industries in order to foster
them, we should not hesitate at ALL On
other articles we should have the tariff
high enough to pay the expenses. Of the

Only One Rule Turned Down.

The new athletic rules proposed by the
at Chicago were adopted by the faculty at
the state university Saturday afternoon prac-
tically as reported. One of the most import
ant recommendations of the committee how
ever, was turned down for the present by
the university professors. and will not be
definitely decided until other institutions have
taken the matter up for consideration. This
rule was really resolution of the confer
ence requesting the faculties of the different
institutions to set the date for each term
and to debar all students entering after that
date from participating in the athletic contests
of the term. AS the calendars of the col
leges in the Northwest differ greatly as to
the dates set for the beginning Of the school
year, the conference was unable to settle
upon any definite dates, as proposed in the
resolution, and decided that each faculty
could better set it's own dates

ENGLISH OPINION.
The Message Looked Upon as Sound
and Able

LONDON, Dec. s.-All of the newspapers
this morning have editorials on President
Clevelands message. Most Of them regard
the message as one of rather minor import
ance, except so far as it concerns the Cuban
question, to which phase the bulk of the
comment is devoted.
The Daily News, the Liberal organ saws of
the Cuban portion of the message:
President Cleveland's argument is clear
enough. No country possesses the right TO
foster a perpetual source of trouble. and
Spain must either grant autonomy or sell
Spain, however. will probably refuse to do
anything Of the kind. Her proverbial pride
will be much hurt by Americas interference.
She will be disposed TO insist upon her right
pleases, and Europe being very sensitive lust
now on the subject of the Monroe doctrine,
Spain will probably be infiuentially supported
If she holds out. We hope she will not
prevail because autonomy is best for Cuba
and best for Spain.
