ANOTHER SHOT AT HANNA.
MIR. Aidrish Is Surprised ut the Lack Of
Political Sagacity on Part Of the
Mckinley Leader.

EVShtutey I-cuueT.
Washington. April 2.-Referring to
Mark Hannas charge that his state
nent as to the preference of the Illinois
delegates to the Republican national
convention was untrue, Representative
Aldrich this evening said:
This Is too absurd. | had given Mr..
Hanna credit for more political sagac-
ity than he really seems to possess. II
the interview is authentic. which hardly
seems possible, and / am sure he will
make haste to correct Ii I'm any event
Ask any one from Illinois and New
Hampshire-any one who Ia qualified to
speak-and you will find that Mr.. Han
ma Is wrong and that my claims are cor
rect"
Congressman Lorimer, who was stand
ing by, said:
II do not claim to know anything
about the condition in New Hampshire,
but ] do know something of the situa-
ton in Illinois. | happen to be one of
the delegates to the St. Louis conven-
tion and know that I am for Cullom
We have also elected nine other gentle
men in Chicago as delegates to st.
Louis, who are also for Cullom. know
that the delegates elected from the
Twentieth, Congressman Burrelrs dis
trict, and the delegates elected from the
Nineteenth district, represented in con-
gress by Mr.. Wood, are for Senator Gull
lom for president. If Mr.. Hanna makes
the statement that Mckinley has more
than four out of the eighteen and Gull
lom less than fourteen of the eighteen
| already elected. he is talking about
| matters with which he is not familiar.
The claim made by the Mckinley men
that large majority of the delegates
| from Illinois will not be for Cullom and
that they will support Mckinley has
not been very considerably backed up
by the results already obtained ana
when the Illinois state convention shall
have adjourned Mr. Cullom will. with
out any question, have the large major-
ity of delegates from Illinois. the pre-
vious statement of the Mckinley men

EXPERT OPINION.

Pittsburg. Pa, April 2.-The Ameri-
can Manufacturer I'm its edition tomOr-
row will say concerning the iron and
steel trade:
when 1t was announced few days
ago that the makers of bessemer steel
had united In an effort for higher rates
and had decided that $50 per ton should
be the minimum rate for billets, the
trade was, to say the least. very much
astonished. This matter remains the
principal tonic In trade circles during
the week. 1t Is yet rather early for
even the best informed to predict what
the effect will be. 1t Is the general
opinion that if the plan succeeds the
entire iron and steel trade will be ben
efitted. Certain 1t Is, however. that the
pig iron market has already felt to
some extent the result of the movement,
as bessemer has made a material ad-
vance. Aside from the bessemer move
ment the trade generally shows moth
ing new. Finished lines remain about
as they We're, and even pig iron Is un-
moved, except in the case of bessemer
This is the principal objection made
to the sudden advance in steel. It is
argued that owing to the amount of
finished stuff now on hand. the ad-
vance will be some time in reaching the
finished product, meanwhile the finish
er must suffer The general opinion Is
that the next few weeks will see some
interesting times in the iron and steel
trade, as things are now in condition
to be affected by comparatively little"

100000 on HIS PERSON
Yet No One Molested Him Along His
Trim

Yet No One Molested Him Along His
Trip.
A unique character is Col. J. II. Burns,
who, with 81 900, coo in his charge. made
a trip from Chicago to New York city
last week. He was in charge of IL Wells
Fargo express car in which $1,000, 600 in
gold and trifle of $4,000 in silver was
packed to transfer FROM the sub treasury
in Sun Francisco to the sub-treasury in
New York. Il. d. Warwick helped Colo
mel Burns guard the money. At no time
during the trip. which was carefully kept
secret, were the precious contents of the
car lacking their vigilance.
Colonel Burns has guarded so much
Government money in its transit across
the continent that he couldn't count it in
lifetime-not if the sixty five years he
has already spent on earth was certain to
be doubled. In the years 1SS5-'96 he
guarded over $40.000,0 900 in coin trans
ferred from San Francisco to Washing
ton-S30, 600, 900 in gold, and $4,000, 600
in silver-weighing in all $50 tons, and
involving forty nine shipments. These
forty nine trips across the continent and
back again are far from being the extent
of the COloners travels as guard of
treasure. For thirty years, more or less,
he has been in charge of money in transit.
He was for II long time chief of guards
for the Southern Pacific railroad pay car,
which traversed Arizona and other bad
lands, where train robbers abounded,
carried nearly always from 100000 to
$780, 600. "Did the robbers ever bother
your the Colonel, was asked. 81 never
lost II cent of all the millions entrusted
to my care" said he, in a quiet sort of
way-not with any suggestion of self
laudatiop, but in tone simply intended to
let the fact be known. "But was badly
scared one time while travelling fromKun-
sas City to st. Louis OH the Frisco road.
Two corpses frightened me--not because
they were corpses, but because | was
afraid they weren't / can't say what
made me suspicious, but expected to see
the sides of those rough boxes flap down
any moment and II couple of robbers come
rolling out with their revolvers in their
hands. sat watching those boxes for
many weary hours with n carbine across
my Knee and IL brace of revolvers near at
hand. But after all, it turned out that
they were sure enough corpses.n

rife and revolver competition, and the
other bars and me tails tell of the Colonel's
powers on other fields of martial activ-

TENIPERING BY ELECTRICITY.
Drills Treated by the Fluid us Effective
rs the Best in Use.


From European sources now comes n
more definite report of the experiments
carried out by NJ. YauX, of Strasburg, in
the presence of n committee of engineers.
1t appears that drill tempered by cleo
tricity penetrated through pieces Of steel
quite as quickly as drill of the best
quality of steel tempered in the ordinary
manner would have done, and n circular
saw tempered by electricity severed bars
Of iron with n remarkable degree of ease.

being repeated five times on the same bar,
with no alteration whatever observable
on the edge of the shears, and IL simple

as easily as if it had been a piece of
