STEEL RAILS DROP So.
Now Selling for the Lowest Price Ever
Known in America.

Now Selling for the Lowest Price Ever
Known in America.
CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-Steel rails are be-
ing sold at the lowest price ever known
in America. The steel rail pool has
collapsed and $18 ton was asked for
rails in Chicago Tuesday and in Pitts
burg the rate was $l5.25 a ton. Mon
day the price in Chicago was $28 and
in Pittsburg it was $25.
The sensational break of So a ton
within "a hours is the result of a secret
meeting Of the rail pool, held in Pitts
burg Monday. All the members were
present. No agreement could be
reached and President J. w.
Gates of the Illinois Steel COM
pany hastily returned to Chi
cago and called a meeting of the
directors of that company. AS result
of their deliberations he notified HI. c.
Prick, chairman of the Carnegie Steel
company, that the Illinois Steel COM
pany was unable to come to conclu-
sion and had postponed action. Two
hours after the message reached Pitts
burg the prices quoted were being
asked in Chicago.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has

that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the

constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatments Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the

Spanish Detachment Practi-
cally Wiped Out by an In
surgent Dash.
Battle Lasted Two Hours, the
Troops Losing One Hun
dred Killed.
Cubans Also Successful In
an Encounter Just Out
side Havana.

CINCINNATI. Feb. 1S.-The CONNER
cial Tribune's special from Havana
says: A detachment from General
Garcia's column made dash upon one
of Colonel Renso's encampments near
.Matanzas last week and in two hours
defeated the Spanish, inflicting a loss
of over 100. The Spanish had been
sent out to destroy a camp Of pacificos
and had encamped for the night. The
insurgents fell upon them about mid
night, and, though greatly inferior in
numbers, the surprise was SO complete
that they routed the Spanish COM
pletely.
One of General Arrangements bands
was defeated in this province last Sun
day, Is miles out from the city, by a
band of guerrillas under Major Rio.
The insurgents were outnumbered, but
they fought fiercely and the Spanish
1oss was double that of the Cubans.

POPS FOR PlCKLER.

Two Fusion Votes Cast for the Republic
can Candidate for Senator.
PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 10. Two ballots
were taken for United States senator
during the day, and two Populists
voted for Picker. The vote on first
ballot was: Picker 81, Kyle 80,
Goodykoontz 20, Plowman 10, Kellar
2, Palmer 1. On the second ballot
Picker lost one Populist vote and Kyle
gained one. Senator Stewart took Sem
ator Morgan to task for voting for
Picker and implied that the latter had
accepted some of Mark Hanna's money.
A war Of words followed and Morgan
declared he would vote hereafter to
suit himself. The anti.Kyle forces
have announced that they will refuse
to further caucus.

other men of prominence.
Cecil Rhodes, when called, read a
long statement which, he said, covered
the whole ground, and recited the
grievances Of the foreigners against the
Transvaal government. "After long
efforts" the statement continued, "the
people there, despairing Of redress by
constitutional means, resolved to seek
by extra.constitutional means such
change of government as could give the

than half the land, nine.tenths Of the

THE PIE HUNTERS PRAYER.

Blessed be thy name o Hanna!
Thou art great and good and altogether
lovely. Thou art first in the minds
and thoughts Of them who labored and
were heavy laden in thy political vim
yard and are seeking their reward.
Thou art first in the cOntemplations of
them that labOred in thy mines and are
seeking more reward. Thou art first
in the considerations Of their children
that hunger and are not appeased.
Thou dispenseth the postoffices unto
them that steal and do not get caught;
Thou art great in thy bounty on cleo
ton day and small in nothing but
wages to them that labor under ground.
Thou liftest thy unassuming head in
humble guise and causeth rains to de-
sCend In America and pestilence to
appear in India. Thou sayest "let
there be crops here" and there are
crops. Thou sayest 'let there be famine
there" and there is famine. Thou say
est "let sugar go up" and it goeth up
high; and we join with good brothers
Rockefeller and Havemyer to chant thy
praise. Give us now our daily pie and
thine be the power and honor and
glory, both In heaven and upon earth
Amen.

is THERE A JOB IN lr2

The cases against the officers of the
Bank Of Hutchinson came before the
court to fix its place on the docket
Tuesday. There were some develop
ments which make it appear rs If the
settlement for fifty cents on the dollar
had virtually carried with it an agree
ment for a final dismissal of the crimi-
nal prosecutions.
A question came up about continn-
ance and Mr.. Williams, attorney for
the defendants, urged that 1t had been
agreed that the cases should be cOntln-
ued. Fall then asked tor an order to
get the books Of the bank for the iufOr
nation they contained as eftecting the
states cases. Upon this Williams
flashed out hot reply that "he would
not get possession Of those books and
he might depend on that" Then the
cases were passed except that Of Cook
the cashier, whose case was continued
to the December term and G. NJ. Will
liams and Scott L. Winnie were &C
copied by Judge Simpson as suretles on
bis bond for $1,000.
There has been much talk that it was
virtually agreed among those with
whom the destiny of the cases rests,
that since the fifty cent settlement,
they are TO be continued from time to
time until with time and neglect they
are worn out and will finally disappear
from the docket. Does this remark of
Mr.. Williams, regarding the books, in
dictate any agreement entered intO2 Is
the prosecution running a bluff and
making appearances Of prosecuting to
appease the public, while through
agreement they allow the cases to be
deferred till after election, and from
then till eternityg
Thievlng, robbnS, defrauding bank
ers are too numerous for the commu-
nifty to allow them to buy immunity
from the law by putting up few thou
sand dollars and paying the depositOr's
claims at fifty cents on the dollar.
