Expected ANY Day Now-Mason Says
the ONCE of Assistant District Attorney
Comes Under Civil Service Rules and
He Doesn't Propose to Be Euchered
Out of Anything He Can Hold On To-
Making an Effort to Retain His
Place.

II was semi-officially announcer in
July that Harry Bone OF Ashland would
take the place of Rankin Mason as as
sistant district attorney on the first OF
September. The change did not take
place on the first. The month is almost
gone ard Rankin Mason is sill in the
office. a good many people in this city
have been interested enough 70 wonder
and inquire why the promised change
has not materialized. 1t was rumored
that informs ton had leaked out at
headquarters 10 the effect that somebody
had spring a combination on Mr.. Bone
and was holding up his appointment.
The gossip was taken up. filtered down
through Oklahoma and reached Nlcnita
by letter from an Oklahoma man VINO
expects TO hold a federal position IN the
territory. What the supposed comolna-
ton was could not be learned, but it was
no doubt the little claim set up by MI.
Rankin Mason that the position proper
ly belonged under civil service clasSlfca-
ton, ana on that theory he would base
a good healthy effort 10 hold the Joo-
Mason wants 10 hold the place under
civil service order and is making hsnt
for il. This, along with the fact that
Attorney General McKenna has been on
on a vacation for several weeks, explain
the delay in the appointment OF a Re-
publican in Masons stead.
Mr.. Lambert, who has been here for
week attending the federal court, said
yesterday that he expected Mr.. Bone
appointment upon any day now. He
does not give the rumor OF fight on
| Mr.. Bone the credit Of even doubtful
| notice A Democrat would about as lief
| give up mis- life as give up an Office, and
! Mr. Mason is the traditional Democrat.
Mr. Bone is in town, and when the
| question of his appointment was brought
I'D with him, he manifested about as
much concern in the matter as man
would in the offer of an ordinary DEM

PROFESSOR As a PUGILIsT.
Ogeechee the Scene of an OLD Time
Fight with Fists.

sylvania, Ga, Feb. H-Prof. J. Currey
Thompson. well known in this part Of the
political vineyard, had a personal encoun-
ter yesterday afternoon at Ogeechee, with
w. w. Waters, a young democrat of the
Thirty-hfth district. i'm which the former
is said to have come out second best.
Thompson is a prominent populist and
some time ago had his school license taken
away from him by the board of education
on account Of charges made by the school
commissioners. He created much ex-
citement at the time. Thompson wrote a
number of newspaper articles in which he
attacked the members of the board very
nercely. Young Waters father was a
member Of the board, and this old contro-
versy was the cause of the fight yester-
day. Waters knocked Thompson down
and beat him, but as they were unarmed
neither was seriously hurt, though it is
thought the matter Is not ended. Thomp-
son ran red hot populist paper in Dublin
about a year ago.

WAGES cur AT sTEEIToN.
The Reduction Result of the SLASH
In the Price. of rails.

Harrisburg. Pa, Feb. 14.-A no.
tice OF 10 per cent. reduce
ton was posted at the works or
the Pennsylvania Steel Company. at
Steelton, Pa, yesterday afternoon. II Is
to take effect March /. The reduction.
which was unexpected. affects about 5000
employees. The explanation that the re-
ductlon Is made owing to the reduced
price for the product accompanies the no
tice. II places the wages of the men at
about the same scale that existed from
April, 1893, until August 1896 during
which period the company's affairs were
In the hands Of receivers. No change In
operations rs looked for al this time, as
the company Is well supplied with orders
secured In the rush Of the last ten days.
President ~. @. FELTON, in speaking OF
the reduction, said the company was COM
PEELED to make it in order 10 meet the fall
In the price OF rails, brought about by the
collapse of the steel rail pool. He was not
able TO say how long the reduction would
remain In force, but expressed the hope
that trade conditions would soon warrant
the' restoration of the old wages.

Plttsburg, Pa, Feb. 14-British makers
of iron and steel products are alarmed at
the invasion of their home markets by
American manufacturers. II is stated that
tin plate bars have been exported to ths
Welsh timed plate mills for several
months and that soE1e of the tin plates
imported recently were made out of Amer
lean steel. Bessemer steel billets have
been exported, and one Pittsburg firm Is
reported to have been recently shipping on
an order for 10000 tons of billets which
have been landed on the west coast of
England at a price II shi.lings below the
local price. Other forms of iron and steel
exported extensively are hardware, me-
ehanical tools and various form of ma
chinery.
Wages I'm American mills are more than
double the wages paid In English mills
for similar work. 1t is claimed that the
higher cost Of labor I'm the United States
has given to employers a greater incen-
tive to introduce labor-saving machinery,
and that the labor cost per ton In Ameri-
can mills Is so low as compared with the
cost in England, by reason of the larger
output per day, that the cost per ton ia
actually below what 1t is at the most
favored mills in England, and almost as
low as In Germany.
