STEEL RAILS DROP ~.

Now Selling for tho Lowest Price Ever
Known In America.
CHICAGO, Feb. ll.-Steel rails are be-
ing sold at the lowest price ever known
in America. The steel rail pool has
collapsed and $lS q ton was asked for
rails il Chicago Tuesday and in Pitts
burg the rate was $l5. % a ton. Mon
day the price in Chicago was $26 and
in Pittsburg it was $25.
The sensational break of $S 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.
cage and called a meeting Of the
directors of that company. AS a result
of their deliberations he notified H. G.
Prick, chairman otthe Carnegie Steel
company, that the Illinois Steel COM
pany was unable to come to a conclu-
sion and had postponed action. Two
hours after the message reached Pitts
burg the prices quoted were being
asked in Chicago.

Gov. Lee has sent a special. message to
the legislature calling attention to the
fact that on an estimate OF expenses be-
tween now and the 1st VI July there
would be a deficit In the state treasury
OF $16S,0Oo and that he was opposed to
the practice Of issuing revenue warrants,
and he called upon the Legislature to
give the matter careful attention and de-
wise some way-f increasing the revenue
50 that the obligations OF the state may
be met and it's credit kept unimpalred.
He stated that the condition ofthe treas
ury was a heritage from the preceding
administrations. Gov. Lee evidently
believes in the principle OF pay as you &c
Many Of the appropriations made 10y the
preceding Legislature have been over
drawn by the late incumbents for the
time the funds should have lasted. For
instance Gov. Sheldon nearly looted the
contingent fund Of the governors office,
leaving very little to conduct the
business OF the office Through II legisIa-
tive session and up to the end of June
naxt. The new auditor it seems is going
t. be very impecunlou5 too with popullst
officials, the following incident being
an example: The governor was .naugu-
rated Oh January 3. On February 5 he
went into the auditors Office to draw IA
months salary. Tie deputy auditor
would only draw Il voucher for salary
from January 3 to 81. The governor, II
is reported, quietly tore up his receipt
and remarked to the deputy that he
could draw on NernIil non for what funds
he needed.

HOW u STANDS.
luban General Interv ewed on the Pro
posed Reforms In Cuba.

posed Reforms In Cuba. -
New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE World
publishes an interview with General
Maximo Gomez, dated Jan. 20, 1897.
General Gomez says in part
"Spain will not grant any real re-
form. We no longer ask concessions
from her. Even were SPANS propos-
ais bona fde, nothing could tempt us
to treat with her.
1--WE are for liberty, not for Spanish
reform. We are for Cuba, not for
Spain. am disguised with this talk
Of reform. Does Spain think we have
forgotten the lessons of the past:
Home rule in its broadcast sense is
independence. That is the kind of
home rule we want. If you ask, would
we accept home rule with a Spanish
captain general, l would answer most
emphatically, No We want nothing
from Spain. We do not want her cap
tain general or her glory, if she has
any remaining, mo- her care"
do you believe tne United States is
rendering aid to SPAIN
Uncle Sam Not a Cuban Ally.
That is a delicate question:" he
answered. Il hope not. Still, l will
speak plainly and with candor. 1t is
certain hat the United States has not
been our ally. If the government at
Washington owes anything to the cause
of liberty !; if it favors the struggle for
freedom now going Oh here, it has not
shown it, even by so much as an ex-
preston of sympathy
Gould you materially increase the
size of your army if you had plenty of
arms and ammunition
II could march into the province of
Havana with $1,000 men in a month";"
replied General Gomez, land that
would mean the almost immediate
freedom of Cuba, for one Cuban is
as good as two Spaniards. More than
that, l am convinced hat with 90, 600
men properly armed and equipped and
supported by artillery, the Spanish
army could be driven from Cuba
within three months"

Movement at st. Cloud May Resolve It.
self Into Liberal md "Orthodox."
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Feb. l1.-Another
conference has been held by commit
tees representing the Congregational,
Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist and
Unitarian churches, at which the pro.
posed consolidation of these churches
was discussed. 1t was decided that
the committees should report to their
respective societies the ACCESSIBILITY of
consolidating, and suggest that the
new union church have no regularly
formulated creed, but unite upon the
following declaration: 1--WE believe in
the fatherhood of God, the brotherhood
of man, and in the life, teachings and
character of Jesus Christ"
A committee consisting of one from
each OF the five churches is to be ap-
pointed, which is to draft the plans for
the proposed Union church and have
the selection Of the minister. The diff
ferent church societies will meet this
week and Vote upon the matter, and
the subject will then be reported to a
general meeting Of those who signify a
willingness to join the movement. 1t
Is doubtful whether the orthodox will
be able to get together, and there are
those who think that the result will be
that the liberal and the orthodox ele.
ments will divide, and there will be
two churches, instead of five as at
present.

Supposed the Cru ser ve.uvius viii Try

CHARLESTON, 5. c., Feb. 11.-Ranged
in a line with intervals Of a mile or
more, five of the finest ships of the
navy are at anchor to the south of the
main entrance of Charleston harbor.
In the line are the New York, the
Maine, the Columbia, the Marblehead
and Amphitrite. 1t looks very like the
Inauguration of the blockade, but as a
number of ships are expected to join
the fleet it is not thought any vessel
will make an attempt to come in. The
Massachusetts, and Indiana are on their
way here, and the speedy little dyia.
mite cruiser Nesuvius is heading this
way. The theory here is that the We
suvius will be put into Hampton Roads
and then will come out in the night
and will, with every precautjon for
secresy, proceed down to try to run the
gauntlet.

IN A PACIFIED PROVINCE.
Pinar del Rio Insurgents in Better Con.
dition Than Ever.

Pinar del Rio Insurgents in Better Con-
dition Than Ever.
HAVANA, via Key West, Feb. IL
The various reports and statements of
Captain General Weyler announcing
the p%acification of the province of Pi
mar del Rio and the almost complete
disappearance of the insurgents in that
part of the island are far from being
borne out by facts. AS a matter of
fact the insurgent forces in Pinar del
Rio seem better off than at any previ-
Gus stage of the campaign. In support
of this assertion it is positively known
that at least 5000 insurgents, under
well known leaders, are at present un-
der arms in various parts of the prov
ince. In addition to these is a strong
body of insurgents which seems to have
mysteriously disappeared from the
neighborhood of Havana. Their where
abouts is known to be
Causing spaniards Considerable Anxiety.
The friends of the insurgents intimate
that a big surprise is being prepared
for Captain General Weyler when he
tries to return to Havana.
General Gonzales Munoz is upon the
point of returning to Spain on leave of
absence and his example is to be fol-
lowed by several other generals in
March. These officers. the friends of
the insurgents claim, see absolutely no
chance Of glory in Cuba and consider
able danger of disgrace, to say nothing
of disease and wounds. Consequently,
their enemies add, seeing that the in.
surgents must eventually triumph by
the machete or otherwise, they are
adopting the policy Of rats when the
latter become aware that the ship
which harbors them is upon the point
of sinking,

Hunting the Wild Goat.
The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat IA it unfortunately called, is a
species OF < game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not so much because
of the difficulty OF killing the
animal, nor because OF It's actual
rarity. 1t is II stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t ia not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually. among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out OF ten.
