ANTi.OUAY BULLETIN.
Interesting Developments Said TO bt
Not Far Distant.


HARRISBURG. Pa. Feb. 2l.-Thcre
Is not likely TO be any change in the
senatorial situation before ThursdaS..
More than enough legislators are paired
for tO-morrow's session Of the Joint
assembly to prevent quorum of those
not paired and prevents the probable
election of a senator. The hcaduuar-
tiers of rival candidates are again open
with few of the faithful followers In
charge. Senator Quay's managers are
as active as the leaders of the Demo
Gratis and anti-Quay Republicans and
profess confidence In his reelection. He
continues to lead all the ether candi-
dates, but on full vote is thirteen short
of election.
Evan Van Valkcnburs, the leader OF
the anti-Quay Republicans. gave out
this statement this evening:
Unless he should resign in the
meantime. Senator Quny wifi only be
allowed to enjoy the privileges of act
Ing as one Of Pennsylvania United
states senators for eleven days longer,
The political 'FrlnkcnstcIns' he has
buildcd are now pursuing him hard;
they are reproducing him for the life he
has Hiven them: they will destroy him
because his failing powers can no lon-
ger supply their abnormal and per-
vcrtcd desires.
Last weeks record was made up OF
50 many victories OF the antI-machlne
that space Will not permit their re-
counting. The failure Of Senator
QuhS's Democratic side show, which
came here In charge of Joseph C. Sib,
ley, tho spectacular statesman of
STANDARD oil connections. TO do any
business with the Democratic party,
only served to again emphasizes me
fact that no Democrats will ever vote
for Senator Quay.
interesting developments are not
lar dlstdnt: the break may come any
DAY; II Is only delayed now as u matter
of expedlency."

Jump in Prices for Steel BifIcls and
Bcssemcr Pig.
CLEVELAND. o.. Feb. 2l.-The Iron
Trade Revicw'in its issue of this week
will say:
THE present market week has been
one Of sensation and excitement. II
has shown more plainly than any other
that the present upward movement in
the iron trade is to assume all the
phases and proportions of boom. \
jump of nearly 81 ton in steel biliets,
caused by sales of 1000 tons at Pitts
burGh, and Bcssemer pig iron going
to $l2 at Valley furnaces at a single
bound on sales Of 10000 tons TO the Car
ncgie Stee: company, limited. are start
ling evidences Of the possibilities OF the
situation. 1t is TO be considered that
such prices have been secured on n
comparatively small tonnage and that
mills and furnaces are shipping and will
continue for some time to ship product
sold far below this basis, but this Is
the market to-day. and every such ad
vance Will do its par, in establishing
the figures on which the business of
the second half OF the year is done.
"Details Of consolidation movements
have been actively worked upon this
week. 1t Is announced that the Nation
al Steel company's S5C.OO0.0OO capital
will be $22.GO0006 preferred and $2S.O0O.-
900 common, and allotments OF under
writing are being made, subscriptions
being double the capital. An important
development In connection with the
plans for ore supply which the large
interests are pushing Is deal for the
purchase of the Lake Superior Iron
company. the old Marquette range COM
pany, which has taken out more ore
in the past forty years than any other
Lake Superior interest and has large
and well developed reserves.
Another deal closed Is the purchase
by the Cleveland Rolling Mil company
for the fire combine of the Emma fur
mace. Of Cleveland, adding 1000 year
to the American Steel and Wire COM
pany's pig iron supply.
There is additional evidence that in
most finished products the demand that
will come with the opening Of the ac-
tive season will find the mills quite In
capable Of furnishing material as it Is
wanted"
