endeavoring to domineer over it
Hamlin disputed the leadership with
him, and Holmes attempted to crush
his young opponent by coarsely ridlcul-
ing his swarthy complexion. Instantly
Hamlin jumped to his feet and. point

Hamlin then continued, pointing his
finger at Holmes: Il will also tell the
member from Alfred that he is more

true to themselves and to nature and as

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY.
His Health Much Improved Since
His Sojourn in Georgia

TOWNSVILLE, March 23.-Presi-
Gent Mckinley spent pretty much the
whole of to-day in the open air, as did
Vice President Hobart. This outdoor
life in mild and dry climate is doing
much to tone up the system of each,
and to-day they showed an improving
state of health.
The Jekyll Island trip having caused
reports of a conference there, and that
Speaker Reed would be nominated for
Vice President on the ticket with Nc
klnley at the next Republican National
Convention, it can be stated again au-
tlloritatively that politics was tabooed
at Jekyll Island.
Tomorrow the party leaves here for
Tallahassee, Fla. where they hope to
escape all elaborate functions, and they
have SO notified Governor Bloxham.
Monday probably will find the President
started on his return journey to Wash
ington, the Vice President and Senator
Hanna remaining here.

ALASKAN TROUBLE.
Washington Officials Unable to Lo-
cate the Reported Collision.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Both the
State Department and the British En-
bassy, which have been giving the SUBJ
Ject close attention, are SO far unable
to locate the scene of the reported col
llsion between the American miners and
the Canadian mounted police, which was
the subject of a story brought by
miner returning from Alaska to Van
couver recently.
At one point the statement seems to
relate to the Porcupine River country,
but the officials say there Is no reason
why there should be doubt entertained
as to the rights of either party on that
river. There are two marks, one
American and one Canadian on the
river 200 miles above it's confluence
with the Yukon. These marks are
separated six miles, being in the neigh
borhood of Rampant House and under
the arrangement which both countries
have been trying to live up to pending
the establishment of definite boundary
line
The temporary boundary by which
both Americans and Canadians must be
bound lies half way between the two
marks, but the account given by this
returned miner seems to lend the I'M
derstanding that the scene of the diff
Guilty is five or six hundred miles away
from the Porcupine River, in the neigh
borhood of the Dawson TRAIL and that
it is not far from the Atlin district, in
British Columbia. The charts show
no stream by the name of Porcupine in
that section There is a Porcupine
digging, but this is said to be fully six
miles within the mark that has been
uniformly recognized as the temporary
boundary in that section.
Both sides are extremely anxious to
take such action as will prevent a col
ision between the unauthorized and
lawless chara cters and, as already stat
ed. the disposition is shown to live UP
to the modus vivendi, tacitly accepted
at the time of the adjustment of the
difficulty between the customs officers
of the two countries last year over the
eSta blishment of boundary line at
the head of the passes.
The record-union., 1899-03-24

lines are raising prices with more
substantial argument to back them
than higherEco of materials which did
not really directly affect them, SO far
as actual purchases were concerned.
Thus there is a tendency to ask more
remunerative prices In many branches
of the machinery and supply trades.
AS an instance of how the feeling has
changed, we may note the fact that one
of the largest jobbing foundries in the
East, if not in the country, has with
drawn all quotations. an example which
it is likely other concerns will be glad
to follow
In the metal trade copper has shown
a declining tendency, lake being close
to IL cents. Prices abroad have been
receding and are now SO far below our
parity that export sales are practically
stopped, the current shipments being on
old contracts This means that soon
large proportion of our supply will be
available to cover our home consump-
ton, which certainly has not expanded
in SO great degree. When present
contracts with much lower prices be-
gin to expire the situation will become
much clearer.
In tinplate a number of importation
orders have gone to the other side, not
alone for drawback plates but also for
actual consumption. The Pacific Coast
is, of course, most exposed in this re-
gard.
In some branches of the iron and
metal trades our rapid advance brings
up the question whether or not it may
not pay to reimport material duty free,
which may be done if the goods return
in the original packages.
LARGE SALES OF PIG IRON.
YOUNGSTOWN (O), March 23.-F'ur-
naces in the Mahoning Valley have sold
10000 tons of Bessemer pig iron this
week at $14.50 per ton at the furnace.
The National Steel Company bought
10000, Carnegie Steel Company 10000
and 10000 tons were disposed of to
other concerns.
| On account of being unable TO secure
pig iron in the open market in large
enough quantities to supply their mill,
! the Brown-Bonnell Iron Company has
| decided to repair and blow i'm its
| Phoenix furnace, which has been idle
| for upwards of three years The fur
| mace will produce about 125 tons of
pig iron per day.

rails spread on very sharp curve after
the engine had passed. The first class

but none seriously hurt, except the six

An OLD CONTROVERSY SETTLED.
SECRETARY ALGER HAS IS
SUED AN ORDER
Setting at Rest the Question as to
Who is Supreme Authority in
the War Department..

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The fol-
lowing order has been issued at the
War Department.:
Headquarters of the Army, Adjutant
Generals Office, Washington, March
-, 1899.
1.-THE following decision has been made
and is published for the information
and guidance of all concerned
"War Department, Washington
March %, 1899. Ordered, that here
after no chief or acting chief Of staff
corps shall be detailed or ordered to
any duty by any authority without the
approval OF the Secretary of War.
'R. A. ALGER, Secretary of War.
''By command of Major General Miles.
H. C. CORBIN, Adjutant General"
This order of Secretary Alger has
been issued to set at rest all questions
as to who is the supreme authority in
the War Department. 1t is an old con-
troversy, dating back to the time when
Jefferson Davis was Secretary Of War,
and General Scott Commanding Gen
eral of the army. The last time the
matter was brought prominently to the
attention of the country was during the
administration of President Arthur,
when Secretary Lincoln wrote a very
caustic letter to Lieutenant General
Sheridan, stating that the staff corps
Of the War Department, with the ex-
ception of the Adjutant Generals and
the Inspector Generals corps, were
under the direct control and subject
only to orders by the Secretary of War.
The order of Secretary Alger will here
after include the chiefs of these corps
under the sole control of the Secretary.
General Miles has held to the construc-
ton based upon the letter of Secretary
Lincoln.
The cause for the issuance of the
order was a recent order of General
Miles to Lieutenant Colonel Darlington,
Acting Chief of the Inspector General
Corps, during the absence Of General
Breckenridge, directing Darlington to
visit certain points in the West on an
inspection tour. The order Of the Sec
rotary did not refer to General Brock
enridge's present duty in Cuba, as he
is acting under orders issued by Sec
rotary Alger.

May Yet Be Released From Prison

ST. PAUL, March 23-The prospects
of the Younger boys being released
from State Prison are much brighter
to- day. The bill. which permits the
parole of life prisoners after twenty
years Imprisonment with uninterrupted
good behavior, was yesterday defeated
in the Senate, but to-day Senator Will
son had the bill reconsidered, and after
an amendment was adopted requiring
the approval by the Board of Pardons
of such paroles by the Board of Prison
Managers, the bill was passed by a vote
of 4S to 5. The Board Of Pardons has
heretofore strongly opposed pardon of
the Youngers, but their friends hope for
d more favorable disposition toward a
proposal to parole the prisoners.
