INSINCERlTY
Charged by Mr.. Mantle, Of Montana.
Declares That the Dingley Tariff
Bill is a Political Measure Which
1t Was Never Intended Should Be-
come a Law.

washington. April 9.-In the Senate
to-day Mr. Gallinger (Rep., y. H) READ
a letter from the general secretary OF
the Armenian Relief Association, ana
added that while he would not suggest
wavs and means for the foreign rela-
tions committee. yet he sincerely hoped
,bat some method would be devised TO
check these Turkish atrocities.
Mr.. Mantle CRep., Mont) was then
recognized for speech on the fesolu-
tion re-committing the tariff bill to the
finance committee. In opening, Mr..
Mantle spoke Of the recent utterances
of President Cleveland before a mis-
sionary gathering. derogatory to the
West. and declared that within a radius
OF five miles from Carnegie Hall, New
York. where Mr.. Cleveland spoke,
there was more poverty, ignorance,
squalor. starvation, crime and Grim
inals than in all Of the silver States
combined.
Speaking on the tariff, he said: "The
Mckinley law was a strictly high pro-
tective measure, so high that some Re-
publican Senators now on the floor Of
the Senate doubted its eXpediency and
would, if the Republicans were fully
restored to power, oppose its re-enact-
ment. But the Dingley bill was not a
measure designed for projection or rev.
enue. It was political measure and
it was framed without due consideration
to Western interests.
"There are some Republicans" eX-
claimed Mr. Mantle, willing TO sacri-
flee the principles of the Republican
party so long as a measure affords pro-
lection to certain interests"
Mr. Mantle closed by expressing the
hope that the finance committee would
remodel the Dingley bill by combining
protection and bi-metallism.

THE IRON AND STEEL MARKETS.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 9.-The Amer
lean Manufacturer will say tomorrow:
The iron and steel market is not In
the furore shown this time last week
It seems that everything is in wait
ing condition, holding back to see tne
full results of the declared advance IN
Bessemer steel. OF course the only
changes have been in the direction OF
higher figures, but these are few, and
generally the market is about where 1t
was last report. The steel arrangement
is still the main question in the trade,
and it seems that it has not yet been
accepted by all concerned. There are
many who declare that it cannot be
made effective, but at the same time

hold. Grey Forge pig iron is quoted at
$40. .75@11OO; No. l foundry $12. 75G

Notes Concerning Wheeling and other
Interstate Clubs.
One Of two Island sites will be chosen
for the park, and the contracts for the
improvements may be let before the
close of the week. The grand stand
will seat 1900 persons, and the bleach
ers 500. On account of the delay oc-
casiOned by the settlement of the
ground question, it is likely that Wheel
ing will open the season in Washing
ton, Pa, and come home for a series of
games after taking three from Curran S
aggregation.
There will be no exhibition games in
Wheeling before the opening of the
regular season. Capt. Jack Darrah
went to Steubenville yesterday. He
may secure the Steubenville grounds
for practice work for the Wheeling
players.
Season tickets will soon be placed On
sale. The price will be $3.50 which
will make the price of admission to each
game a fraction less than 20 cents. It
is expected that they will go off with a
rush when they are offered to patrons.
Six of the eight Interstate clubs will
have gray uniforms. Wheeling will be
novelty in black suits, with white
trimmings. The cap and belt will be
white, with the letters Wheeling in
white across the breast.
Make Ryan, of Cincinnati. according
to the Enquirer has forwarded his
terms to the local management. Ryan
is over six feet tall, and is a Cracker
jack in all that familiar slang express
sion implies. He will probably be Sc
cured to hold down the initial bag.
The Wheeling club. exclusive of bat
teries will probably be made up as fol-
lows: Ryan, first; Darrah. second;
Whaly, short; John Wagner or Shaw.
third; Gallagher, Violet, Kerr. outfield-
ers. Several other players will be tried.
and there will be at least half dozen

After the poor material is weeded out.
there will be twelve regular players on
the team, including an extra catcher.
and three pitchers.
