Isig wire ana Nail Combination.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 2.-The American
Steel and Wire company, in other
words, the consolidation of the entire
American wire industry, seems to be
an accomplished fact. One of the
strongest indications in support of the
conclusion is a sudden and marked
stiffening in the price of wire and nails,
which has come generally this week.
The biggest undertaking that the iron
industry of the world has ever wit
messed may be, said. to be successfully
completed. This huge concern, with a
i capitalization Of $s7,0OO,OOO, all repre-
ssenting property, owns all the establish
ments in the country with which wire
rod mills are connected. 1t is no mere
pool Or trust, but an absolute absorp-
ton of the property of the concerns con-
solidated, and the former owners who
now hold stock, cannot dissolve the
combination by any withdrawal.

Gotham Gets a Taste of Winter.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-This is the cold
est day of the season. The temperature
registered 5 degrees below zero at s a.
m. today, drop of % degrees since
yesterday at 2 p. M. The East and
North rivers were full of ice and the
ferry boats We're much delayed on this
account. The surface and elevated rail
roads ran behind time and local traffic
was considerably congested. Trains
from the north, northeast and west
were all late in arriving. Boston is still
shut off from communication with the
outer world, except by occasional tele-
pliong message. At the hospitals there
are many cases of frozen feet, fingers
and limbs, and the surgeons are kept
busy fixing up the bones broken by falls
on the slippery streets. An ice gorge
is forming in Long Island sound at Fort
Schuyler, threatening, to interfere with
navigation. The Hudson river at Sing
Sing is frozen over, and if the cold con.
tinues another "a hours, teams and pc.
destrians will be able to cross safely
from shore to shore.

pired term of Isham G. Harris and who

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 30.-The two star

the senate investigating committee yes

@. Otis of Hamilton county, who claims
to have been offered bribe to vote for
Senator Hanna, and Thomas @. Camp
bell, attorney, who acted as the legal
representative of Otis. There was
nothing in the testimony of either wit
ness to even indicate that Senator
Hanna, Major Dick or Major Rathbone
had any connection with General Boyce,
through whom it is claimed the alleged
negotiations We're conducted. In fact.
Attorney Campbell, who came all the
way from New York to testify, took
occasion to say he did not believe Sena-
tor Hanna was interested in or knew
Boyce Moreover, Boyce himself had
declared to Campbell that he did not
know Mr. Hanna and that if his per-
sonal wishes were consulted he would
prefer to see him defeated. Campbell
produced a roll of bills in denomina-
tions of 500 and $40, aggregating
$1,750, which he claimed Boyce had paid
to him during the negotiations. Camp
bell said if Boyce returned to Hamilton
county he would he glad to return the
money, otherwise he would use part of

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The house of
representatives Monday buried the
Teller resolution, declaring the bonds
of the United States payable in silver
under an adverse majority of 30 votes.
The Republicans were solidly arrayed
in opposition with two exceptions, Lin
ney IN. O., who voted with the Demo
Gratis and Populists, and White IN. O.,
the only colored member of the house,
who answered 'spresent" when his
name was called. The desertions from
the Democratic side were McAleer (Pa.)
and Elliott Is. o., both voting with
the Republicans against the proposition.
Speaker Reed. although it is not custo
mary for him to vote, had his name
called, and amid the cheers of his fol-
lowers, went on record in opposition to
the resolution.
The vote was reached after five
hours of debate, under special order
adopted at the opening Of the session.
The limited time allowed for debate
and the pressure of members for an op-
portunity to be heard was so great that
the leaders on both sides were COM
PEELED to farm out the time by minutes.
This detracted much from the eontin-
uity of the discussion, but it also in a
measure intensified the interest in the
galleries, which were crowded all day,
and the combatants on the floor were
cheered by their respective sympa-
thizers.
Senators Listen to Arguments.
Many of the senators from the other
end of the capital were also present to
listen to the arguments. The majority
under the leadership of Mr.. Dingley,
who made carefully prepared speech,
sounding the keynote Of the opposition,
assumed the position that the last
clause of the resolution, was really a
disguised paragraph for the free coin
age of silver, while assaulting the DEM
ocrats, who under Mr.. Bailey main
| tanned that the defeat of the resolution
was another step in the direction of the
establishment of the gold standard, to
which they alleged the president aud
Secretary Gage had irrevocably com
mitted themselves The debate was
fast and furious, but no sensational in
cidents, beyond the Kissing OF Rhe:l
| (Ky.), when he said that as the ''autho1
of the crime of 49, the hottest place i'll
hades would be reserved for the present
| secretary of state. The vote on the res
olution was, ayes, ls2; nays, 1S2.
