The second week of December finds
the iron trade still quite at sea re-
garding the basis for business In 1898.
In all lines there is close canvass of
the situation, In view OF decisions
that must soon be made, since it is
generally believed that with all its
present quietness, the market Is not
far from a season of activity that
might rapidly dispel much Of the I'M
certainty that now hangs over the
new year In such time of transit
ion there are contradictory indica-
tions The few buyers of foundry pig
iron, for example, who have come to
the point Of closing In the past fort
night have found variety of views
among sellers. The predominant
feeling is strong, leading Southern
interests In particular, with stocks
still decreasing and orders booked
taking the output OF the, next three
m ,nths, refusing offers at cut prices;
yet there are variations of so to IS

of for next year. Bessemer pig iron

Murder Again.

Again was the peaceful quiet of
the city broken Monday morning
by the announcement that muir
der had been committed alta board
ing house near the Zenith location
during the night between Sunday
and Monday. Tbs announcement
raised a considerable commotion
among our law-abiding citizens.
Murders in Ely are an altogether
too common occurance and people
are beginning to feel that murders
are luxury that can be dispensed
with. The police worked hard
and faithfully and Monday morn
ing six were in the city jail charg-
ed with being accomplices or prin-
cipals in the crime.

animation was John Markovitch
who was the proprietor of the
boarding house in which the row
occurred. Markovitch testified
that on Sunday night he treated
his boarders to o key of beer, this
being on Dec, 10. Others came

CLEVELAND. O., Aug. s.-Every day shows the
magnitude of the approaching political campaign
here. 1t will be, in the words Of Major Charles
F. Dick. Secretary OF the Republican National
Committee, practically a national campaign"
Major Dick also said to-day:
1T is to be q national campaign. because 1t 10
in the Presidents own State and 10 the fret
State election held since the defeat of Bryan.
The campaign is further national in Importance
because its results will have a bearing on the
future of the silver question as a political issue.
II the Republicans succeed in Ohio 1t means the
death knell of the silver question.
IF the opposite happens future political bat
ties will be fought on the same subject. 1t is
national. too, because the election OF the Chair.
man Of the Republican National Committee is
at stake" .
management of the Republican party said:
"The money question will be the issue of tho
campaign. The matter of tariff will not be con-
sidered as q vital iasue. This is due to tho fact
that the Democrats are saying nothing Just
now against protection. Instead OF max
ing our hercest battle in the country, we
shall direct most of our attention to the cities.
Last fall It was the farmers who needed looking
after. Now the farmers are getting the best
prices they ever did for their produce, and we
anticipate no trouble among them this year"

THE N4VY,S NEW UN.
Nearly the Entire Naval Service Now Armed
with Six sIilimetre Ridea.

WARRINGTON. Aug. s.-With the exception of
one or Two ships on foreign stations the entire
naval service, including the marines, Is now
armed with the new 6-milimetrer rife. and over
10000 of the old 45-caliber Leo guns are now
at the disposal of the naval militia Of the coun-
try and State National Guards which may mako
proper requisition for them. Tho contract for
TO- 500 OF the new guns has been completed, and
while the service requires at least another thou
sand guns no further purchases will be made
until some improvements suggested In the pres
ent gun by the firm manufacturing them for the
Government have been tested. These are said
to render the piece of even greater efficiency,
and obyiate some OF the dangers of delicate
parts of the mechanism from breaking. Every
vessel sent TO q foreign station in the past year
has been equipped with the new rifle, and all on
the homo station are now provided with tho
guns.
Target practice reports made to the depart
mcnt show that not only has the service i'm
proved in accuracy of fire, but that the arms can
be handled quicker and fired with far greater
rapidity. The sailors find the lightness of tho
pieces a great advantage in landing parties, and
there is said TO DO no longer difficulty in handling
the guns, NJ was first experienced. when the
new weapon was introduced in tho service.
Several hundred OF the old guns have been
leaned to various State naval reserve organiZa-
tions, and there are several thousand now
stored ava at the navy yards available for the
National Guard and other branches of the mil
itary department OF States.

SUNDAY PICN1CS DENOUNCED.
bishop Fink Forbidn Catholics TO Attend an
Irish Festivity.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. s.-The Rt. Rev. Louis
NJ. Fink, Bishop OF the Leavenworth diocese.
has stirred Irish circles from circumference to
centre by his last letter. condemning the forth
coming Irish picnic, which was to have been
held on next Sunday. This letter was read in
the Roman Catholic churches Of Kansas City,
Kan, this morning.
Bishop Fink did not hide his meaning behind
soft phrases. He condemned the picnic without
reserve. forbidding all members of all Catholic
churches under his jurisdiction taking any part
whatever In the celebration.
1t has been the custom of the United Irish So
cieties of the two Kansas cities to give an annual
picnic, but until this year the affair has never
been fixed for Sunday. About a month ago, how
ever. when final arrangements were made, the
societies selected Sunday, Aug. 10. as the date
for the picnic. AS there has been no protest
until to-day, the members of the societies eX-
pected none, and this proclamation from Bishop
Fink comes as a surprise, but the picnic will be
held just the same.
The Bishop is not to have plain sailing in tho
day because, he says 1t is a viola;
a desecration of the day. But many Of his
parishioners do not agree with him, and they
propose to go ahead with the picnic, even II by
SO doing they incur his displeasure.
Bishop Fink refuses to say just what action
he Will take with those who may disoboy his
command. but it seems certain that he will do
something.
