IRON Az sTEEL
Market Dali, and sm Waiting for
Something 10 Turn Up.


PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. 1.-THE
American Manufacturer in its weekly
review will say tomorrow:
The iron and steel situation through
out the country shows nothing moro
than a general dullness. and the same
old waiting for something to turn up.
At no point is there anything special
noted by our market correspondents
this week. In the eastern market trade
is reported as being of disappointing
character.
At Philadelphia the activity noted
recently suddenly stopped. and large
amount OF promised business Is being
held up. A great deal in structural
iron is expected In the west, the mar
ket Is still awaiting for the expected i'm
provoment. The most activity shown
IS IN merchant steel, as the makers Of
agricultural implements are now ar
ranging for supplies. Pig iron in the
ChicaGo market shows a little more
life than st did some time ago. Southern
brands are little weaker. Louisville
reports much better feeling in pig
iron. 1t seems that some extremely
low prices are still being taken for
Bessemer steel. Wheeling reports quite
low figures In that line, but generally
speaking, the furry shown recently has
subsidized. There are no new develop
ments shown in pool matters.

Special Dispatch to the Intelllgencer.
WESTON, W. Va, Jan. 1.-THE cleo
tlon contest cases are progressing here
extremely slow,on account of the many
frivolous objections and other dIlatory
tactics Of counsel for the contestees. It
is their intention to delay as long as
possible to the end OF the cases for the
purpose of retaining in office the DEM
ocrats who hold the positions.
With this end in view. they have re-
sorted to all kinds of unheard OF
moves for the past few days, culminat-
ing yesterday IN most tlagrant and
unwarranted onslaught on the county
court, and particularly Judge Jasper
Peterson, who has been such faith
full and constant servant OF the people
that he has been nominated and elected
again and again against his expressed
Will and over his protest. This it,was
hoped would so mortify and embarrass
him that as matter OF delicacy, he
would resign, which he first determln-
ed TO do, but later decided 10 remain on
the court.
The evidence Is now but fairly begun
and the case promises 70 be a very vol
luminous one. Prosecuting Attorney

the governors messagewhich by a hitch
IN the arrangements was read in Wheel

Members generally have not had time to
read It.. so that their Views concerning 1t
are not to be had to any extent, Those
who have read It comment on the fnan-
cal showing which they regard as better

warrant.
The balance Of tho state funds in the
4trlsury October 1. 1896. IS given as $685.
gSo It Is believed that If all obligations
had been met there would have been no
fIch balance, more likely deficiency.
Again the estimated balance at the end
Of 1898 is put at $541 ,997, but 1t iS thought
that this Is not to be looked forward to
with great confidence. The probability

condition of the state, and what the Re
publican party has to start with In as
suming the management Of affairs. In
the item of criminal charges there is a
deficiency of $4,000.
The governor recommends the creation
OF the Office Of state insurance commits
sioner, something which should have
been done long, ago. He recommends
also that che school book question be
taken from the legislature and handed
over to the counties for them TO work
out their own salvation, a reform urged

make rs much money out OF II as posi-

The correspondent was with them last

writes, have arrived here and have had
interviews with the princess, 70 whom
they laid some propositions relating to
engagements TO sing at those places.
They dIned with the princess, but she
declined their offers for the present.
Her brother Eben Ward, who was
staying in Cannes, is expected here, as
the princess telegraphed for him.
"The next few days might bring mat

However, nothing the princess says

OH, IT'S YOU TALKING !
The Pretrndor to the Spanish Throne
Makes n Few Remarks.

Mnkea n Few ltemhrl6E
VENICE, Jan. 14.-Don Carlos, the
pretender to the Spanish throne. has
made the following statement TO The
Associated Press reporter, here:
II do not wish, as a SpanIard, to
remember the insults addressed by the
American senate to my fatherland; but
a politician ought not to forget that
friends never insult. Spain has two i'm
meuse Corces--an admirable people who
desplse all material considerations
when the national honor IS Involved
and heroic army, which continues the
glorles of It's immortal history. Sup
ported by these two elements Spain IS
strong enough to affirm her independ
cnce and maintain her sovereignty.
Mediators are out place where there Is
a government worthy the name. II Is
this which Spain lacks aud It is due to
this that the United States ilouts her.
But the Spanish people who conquered
America and who are as courageous as
their governments IS weak and short
sighted, stlll exists. One should never
be the provoker, hut must be ready to
defend ones self against all. Spain can
do thig"
