pipe is taken from the press and placed
on the machine. Both ends are then
dressed and smoothed up The socket
which comes from the press imperfect
ly formed is smoothed up and solidi-
fed by this machine and the pores fill

A heated colloquy between Senator

ator Pasco was the feature of the dis
cussion. Senator Chandler said that
Senator Pasco was unwitting!y and un-

deception had been practiced upon
the senate. Senator Pasco demanded
the withdrawal of the statement, but
Senator Chandler insisted that it was
correct and refused to withdraw 1t, al.
though he disclamed any intention to
reflect upon Senator Pascos honor.
The resolution probably will be called
up again to-day.

plea for delay in disposing Of the Ha-
waiian question until after the con-
clusion Of the war. A number OF

Think II a Hard Task.

LONDON, June 14-The Madrid cor.
respondent of the Times says: 1.-THE
opinion here is that a land attack
upon Santiago de Cuba will prove a
much harder operation than is COM
monty supposed. The country to
be traversed presents great natural
difficulties. To arrive at Santiago an
expedition must cross the range of
mountains called Sierra Cobre, in
which there are many positions easily
defended by comparatively small
forces, especially against an enemy
which is sure to be decimated and de-
moralized by yellow fever and dysen-

LETTERS DEAL COLLAPSES.


CHICAGO, June l4.-All interest on
the board Of trade yesterday conferred
in the doings Of Joseph Letter and the
results Of his famous big deal in
wheat A tremendous slump in prices
was generally attributed to immense
sales for him. According to one au.
thority Mr.. Letter ordered all his
trades closed out at the opening
Of the days transactions in the
wheat pit and 1t was stated that
at least 100000 bushels of wheat
were liquidated for him in the Chicago
market alone. Fifteen minutes before
the closing bell rang on change the
tickers had a report that Letter cash
wheat would be trusted. 1t was said
that the bankers who had made adj
vances on it had agreed to take care
of it 1t is the opinion of many that
all of Letters immense profits have
vanished in the past few days, because
of the big decline in wheat which he
had left this morning, for which he
paid very high prices, while he was
holding the market up to sell his big
lines.
