IRON ORE POOL SMASHED
FORMALLY DISSOLVED At 4 MEET
ING IN CLEVELAND YESTERDAY.
Big Interests i'm the Mesaba Range
Unable to Agree-LOwer Wages
and Strikes Probable.

CLEVELAND. o.. March 2s.-After sew
eral postponements the much-talked-o
meeting of the Bessemer Iron Association,
known as the iron ore pool, was held here
to-day. The meeting was fruitless of re-
suits. for il was decided that no effort TO
reach an agreement would avail and the
association was formally dissolved. The big
interests on the Mesaba range-the Rookie
feller-Carnegie interest and the Minnesota
Iron Company were unable to agree and
il was announced after the meeting that
the different companies on the new range
would make preparations Immediately for
the sale Of ore and for production suited
to their ideas of the demands of the mar
ket, irrespective of what might he done
by the owners of mines on the old range
This means lower prices for ore and a
greater production than would have pre-
vailed If all the companies were included in
the pool. n meeting of the producers of
Bessemer ore on the old range will be held
tomorrow and it is the general opinion that
a pool of their interests will be effected,
even though this is not certain.
1t is thought that one serious effect of
the breaking up of the ore association will
be the reduction in the wages of labor.
which in some cases has already taken
place, and in others il likely TO occur.
Strikes and labor riots are anticipated by
some. A few of the producing interests,
however. including the Rockefeller mines,
both on the Messaba range and the Gogebic
range have announced that they do not
intend to make any reduction of wages.
no matter TO what price ore may fall. 1t
is predicted that the failure of the produc-
ers to agree upon price for ore will cause
a boom in the iron business for many fur
mace owners are said to have been holding
of in expectation that something definite
would be agreed upon and they will now
resume operations.

WON'T SUPPORT HUNTER
SIX REPUBLICANS REFUSE TO VOTE
FOR THE CAUCUS NOMINEE.
Danger of Another Deadlock in the
Kentucky Legislature Over the
Election of "a Senator.

FRANKFORT, Ky, March 23.-To-day
was the first on which separate bali is
could be taken in the Legislature for a
United States senator to succeed ex-Sen
ator j. c. S. Blackburn under the ruling
of Lieutenant Governor Worthington. All
morning rumors were rife of the bolting
of six Republican members, who would
not support Congressman Godfrey Hun
ter. the Republican nominee, and of the
combination between few Republicans
and the Democrats TO elect Governor Brad
ley to the senatorship. thus causing va
cancy i'm the Governors Office and making
an opening for the Democrats. Hunter an
nounced at 10 o'clock that he would GER
tainly win on the first ballot. This asser-
ton. however. proved to be untrue. AT II
o'clock the two houses balloted with the
following result:
Standardization fres-slver Democrat,
II; Hunter. Republican, Is; Boyle, Repub-
lcan 3: Davie, sound-money Democrat,
6. Total. So.
House-Blackburn "a; Hunter, 3d. Boyle,
3; Davie. 5; McCreary, Buckner and Stone
1 each; necessary to a choice. 40
The boiling Republicans-Senators Lin
ney Rummans and Clarke and Represent
atives Nance. Baldwin and Napier-issued
a sensational card this morning, saying
they would not support Hunter because
he was illegally the nominee. They con-
cluded with the significant statement that
they were bought and were not for sale.
The silver Democrats held a caucus to-
night but did nothing TO indicate what
course they will pursue in to-morrows
ballot for senator. DR.. Hunters friends
have been bringing every possible pressure
to bear on the Republicans who voted for
Boyle to-day, and claim that two of them
will vote tor Hunter tomorrow. The
friends of Governor Bradley claim that
three more Republicans will desert Hunter
tomorrow Neither side gives names. The
nous session tomorrow and keep on ballot
ing until an election is had. The opposi-
ton will attempt TO defeaL this by ad-
iournin,y if il is found man can be
united on TO defeat Hunter on the first oal-
lot Hunters friends here have telegrdphed
to Washington that he will win sure to-

Fees of Consuls May BE Restored.
CHICAGO March 3. - The Record
Washington correspondent says: 1t is
probable that President Mckinley will re-
woke the order President Cleveland issued
on the 10Th of last October cutting down the
fees of United States consuls fer all services
rendered and abolishing consular certifica-
ton of invoices. If he does so Ii will be
worth about 10000 year to Cousin
William Mckinley Osborne. who has been
appointed consul general to London. and
about Sl2.COO year to '-Oom Jack GoWdy-
of Indiana who will hold a similar position
i'm Paris Until recently the consulate gen.
eralship at London has been worth more
than any office under the government eX-
cept the presidency. The Presidents order
cutting down the fees affects all of the con-
sulates throughout Europe. and no man
without a private income can afford TO take
those that pay only Sl500 and 81. 600 without
the fees, because he cannot live decently
IN "A Foreign country on tnat money. The
salaries of the consular corps were fixed by
Congress. with the knowledge that certain
fees were collected at each place. and the
amount is governed accordingly but if the
fees are to be cut off the salaries should
be increased in order that the representa-
tives of the United States government in
foreign lands may live like gentlemen.
