TO FREEZE IT OUT.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 21.-An agent of the Illinois Steel company in an interview in this city today stated that the steel pool would soon be on it's feet again. The plan is to then make it hot for the Bellaire company that disrupted the pool by withdraw ing and cutting prices. The agent said that as soon as the pool was once more in working order the members in the territory of the Bellaire con- pany would sell steel below cost if nec- essary to freeze that concern out, the losses being made good by the poo treasury.

TALE OF TWO CITIES.
The Phoenix of Ten Years Ago, and
 the Phoenix of Today.

MT. c. R. Ingles, representing Mil waukee trunk manufactory, is busi- ness visitor to the city. MT. Ingles was comfortably settled in a spacious chair in the Hotel Adams lobby, reading the latest war news, when approached by a Republican reporter.
 Though I travel for a Milwaukee house." said he, Kansas City is my home town. Having left there shortly after the election I cannot say how the election affected business there, but throughout the east there seems to be an encouraging spirit of revival that is awakening and stimulating the dor mant energies of capital
 q was last in Phoenix ten years ago, and let me tell you that the change has been simply marvellous and shows what enterprise and cap ital can accomplish when properly applied. Ten years ago Phoenix was a typical adobe town. There were about half dozen stores and mean little one-story hotel which is still stand ing. The travel here was not large partly because of the tedious stage journey. Yes, the growth of Phoenix has been remarkable. The city was 8 genuine and enjoyable surprise, to me when 1 came in the other day. and do not doubt that the growth will con- tinue, and probably attain greater speed as the wonderful agricultural and mineral resources are developed.

MORMON TEMPLE DEDICATED.

The new Mormon temple at Mesa was dedicated by Bishop Brigham Young Sunday afternoon. The cere- mony was witnessed by large crowd of people, excursion trains being run from Phoenix and Tempe.
 A large delegation went from Phoe- nix on the Maricopa & Phoenix & Salt River Valley roads, besides many others in private conveyances. The tabernacle has seating capacity of over 300. Every seat was occupied the aisles were jammed with people and an immense throng stood on the outside. Bishops Brigham Young of Salt Lake City, and Jesse N. Smith and J. H. Willis, of Snowflake, officiated. The interest in such ceremonies al ways amounts to enthusiasm among the Latter Day saints, whenever Brig ham Young is present to address them Bishop Young returned here last even- ing and is registered at the Ford hotel

MANY WILL ENDORSE IT.
But Treloar's Joint Resolution Is No
 Likely to Pass.

WASHINGTON Dec. 21.-Congress- man William M. Treloar of Missouri is very much in earnest over the joint resolution which he has introduced, providing for an amendment to the constitution, making terms of office of the president and senators eight years and representatives four years. His resolution also provides that the president shall be ineligible for re- election. In MT. Treloar's opinion, the commercial interests of the country demand this. Under the present sys- tenn, he says, business enterprises are practically paralyzed for at least a year out of every four-six months be- fore election because it is not known which party is to dominate, and six months after, because of the uncer- tainty as to the details of proposed economic legislation. As for the doubling of the term of representa- tives, he claims that two years is not long enough for man to familiarize himself with the practice of congress
 in order to be of really valuable ser vice to his constituents. His reason for making the president ineligible for reelection is that he believes any man could give the country a much purer and abler administration if all
 thoughts of future personal profit and honor be obliterated. MT. Treloar says he desires to hear from every business man and voter in the country, regard less of politics, as to whether or not ha favorS tho nronOSpd amendmpn
 He wishes to use the letters before the committee on judiciary, and desires that they be short and to the point.

WASHINGTON Dec. 21-The status of a large part of the grant of land made by congress in 1866 to the At lantic & Pacific Railroad company un- der the operations of the act of 1886, declaring forfeited so much of the grant as lay adjacent to the uncom- pleted portion of the road, is involved in case now being argued in the su- preme court of the United States.

THE CONTESTS
were Of course the great exciting feature
of the day and the boys seem to forget all
about the fact that it was 80 in the shade
in their eagerness to excel.
The first event WAS the horseless race,
the companies catching UP the reel, run
ming 300 feet, coupling to hydrant. and
getting water.
There we're two competitors, the Hol-
linsworth & Whitney Hose Co. of Water
vile and the Eagle hose company OF
Gardiner.
The officials were as follows: Starter,
H. E. Kenney; timer. G. W. Gerow !;
judges, Charles H. johnson, Chas D.
Allen.
The H. & W. Co. was the first one to
make the trial. They got off we'll, made
a good run and got water in just 45
seconds, ami were heartily cheered by
their admirers.
The Gardiner Company came next
and attracted much attention from the
fantastic variety and brevity of their cos
tunes They were sprinters..f from Sprint
vile though, and had stream of water
on, with hiuoh, nozzle and everything
all right in just Al seconds,- beating their
competitors by single second. They
received ~ hearty cheer from the crowd
and were awarded the first prize.
The reel trials being over, the crowd
started for the lower village, where the
tubs were TO have their innings The
officials for this event were as follows
3 Timer and scorer, G. E. Gurley; judges,
". B. Allen and Geo. Leighton.
There were three entries in this event,
tho Torrent of Lisbon Falls, Hecla of
Randolph and Androscoggin of Topsham.
The latter was looked upon as the win
ner by the crowd as she has been famous
as prize winner for many years, but
the trusty tub from Topshafn was
doomed to defeat today and when the
trial was over she had been beaten by the
hustling lads of Lisbon and muscular
bumpers. from Randolph. ssThe Torrent of
Lisbon was first, throwing q stream of
176 feet IL inches, and the Hecla of
Randolph, second with q mark of 172
feet Ia inches. The trial created great
excitement and the winners celebrated
their victory in royal style.
The whole affair passed off without a
hitch and the following committee are
entitled to great praise for the results of
their labors: Howard Gooding, Charles

and Frank MoLaren.
The festivities were brought to close
this evening with bandsooncerts, fireworks
