Col. John Hays "Pike County Bal
lads'' are being quoted in England just
now as showing what manner of man
is to represent us at St. James. If the
Briton expects to find in Col. Hay a
raw American, of the Joaquin Miller
type, who despises book larnin', he will
be mistaken. Colonel Hay has, so to
speak, lived down. his early efforts
as writer of dialect. He has in recent
years printed occasionally a poem in
conventional English, not distinguish
able from quantities of verse which ap-
pear in American and English period
icals. But he is rarely or never CLASH
fed as an American poet. He writes an
occasional piece" because he likes it,
but he belongs to the school of Glider,
Johnson and company, and is anything
but aggressive in what may be called
literary Americanism. It will be better
for the Briton not to think of Col. Hay
as man of letters at all, but as gen.
tleman of culture, polished man Of
the world, with dizziness in affairs,
with high knowledge of public usage,
who has done nothing of consequence,
outside of his history of Lincoln, SIM
ply because ''it has not been necessary
for him to hustle"

The statistical abstract of the United
States, prepared under the direction OF
the secretary of the treasury, and Just
issued by that authority, has among its
many tabulated statements the follow
ing in regard to the decline in prices
of domestic iron. The figures cover
each calendar year from 1850 to 1895.
The quotations on No. anthracite
foundry pig iron at Philadelphia in
1850 were $2O.S8; in 1864, $59.25; in
1887, $20.92, and in 1895. 1910. Bar
iron, best rolled, at Philadelphia in
1850 was quoted at $59.54; in 1864 at
$146.46; in 1882, $61.41; in 1892, $41.89,
and in 1895, $4,000. Iron rails, stand
ard sections, at mills in Pennsylvania
in the year 1850 were quoted at $47.88;
in 1864 at 1925; in 1873 at $76.67, and in
1882 at $3.50. Steel rails were not
made in commercial quantities before
the year 1867, and at that date at mills
in Pennsylvania were quoted at $166.
In 1873 they had dropped to $12O; in
1879 to $48.25; in 1880 they made a
jump to $67.50; in 1889 they had de-
clined to $29.25. and in 1895 to $24.33.
The best prices of wire nails per key
Of 100 pounds from factory. +. o. b. Chi
cago, in 1887 were 1915; in 1892 they
had fallen to $1.49. and in 1896 had
risen to sligo. The ups and downs of
these values are to be traced to vari-
GUS causes. 1t is, however. noticeable
that the downward trend has been
more steady and less erratic.

FEARS FOR THE sAMAR1A.
Long Overdue Vessel Thought to

Long Overdue Vessel Thought to
Have Gone to the Bottom.
San FRANCISCO, April 1.-THE impress
sion that the American ship Samaria,
from Seattle for San Francisco, has
gone to the bottom grows stronger day
by day as no tidings come from the
overdue vessel. The Alcalde. which
left Seattle simultaneously with the
Samaria, arrived in this port April ,.
The Alcalde's master says that on
March % he encountered a terrible
southeast gale, and after being in COM
pany with the Samaria four days the
vessels unintentionally separated.
The Samaria was laden so deep in the
water that the seas broke over her and
she wallcwed badly in the trough of
the sea. The Alcalde had hard work
saving herself and only escaped from
the fury of the storm by throwing out
oil bags which moderated the force of
the sea Immediately about her. The
Alcalde's captain is confident that the
Samaria and all her crew are at the
bottom of the sea.
