HAS BEEN GREAT SUCCESS.
The Work of the \. m. @. A. az Armory
Has Been Greatly Appreciated ny
Sailors of the Fleet.

The work OF the Y. III. O. A. at the
armory has been of great success. In
the three nights on which the men were
given shore liberty, IL is estimated that
over 1000 men have ayailsd themselves Of
the privileges Of sleeping at the armory.
Secretary Garland said yesterday that ths
men behaved with great respect towards
thoss in charge Of the work and spoke
again and again Of their appreciation Of
what YVES done for them. The managers
of the work did not have bit Of trouble
with the many men who frequented the
place.
During the stay of the fleet here the
armory has been filled with sailors about
all the time The game tables and writ
Ing tables have been we'll patronized and
In all over 5000 glasses Of lemonade and
as many cups Of hot coffee and doughnuts
have been served by the gentlemen in
charge Of the work. 1t has been one OF
the best things which has been done In
Portland for the entertainment of the

with ID. It has required an immense
amount Of work on the part OF the COM
mittee in charge of the arrangements, but
the work has been willingly done and the
gentlemen who have done 1t feel well
paid for their time and trouble.
The police officials say that never has
such q well-behaved Ioi of men been
the guests Of Porsland for three days, and
they attribute much of this good be-
havior to the fast that the blue jackets
have had place in which to pass the
nights when on shore.

TO MEET IN THIS CITY
MINERS CHOOSE INDIANAPOLIS FOR
NEXT YEARS CONVENTION.
Popular Vote to BE Taken on the Ref
erendum Observation-Disclosures Agree
ment for an Eight-HOur WOrkday.

PITTSBURG, jan 2O.-The national con-
vention of the United Mine Workers of
America adjourned sine die this afternoon.
Indianapolis was unanimously selected for
the meeting place next year. p. ]. Keenen.
of Illinois; H. A Lannins, of Ohio, and
John Fahy, of Pennsylvania, were elected
as the credentials committee for 1900. This
committee will meet six days before the
next convention, examine all credentials and
have a complete report ready for the open
ing of the convention.
Delegate H. B. Stumper introduced an
amendment to the constitution providing for
a referendum vote in the election of officers
The amendment was laid on the table by
vote of 115 to 100, but Immediately afterward
the following was adopted after a short dis
cussion:
Whereas, We believe that governments
should derive their just powers from and
by the consent of the governed. and as a
means to that end, we favor a popular vote
on said proposition and the result of said
vote to be adopted or rejected at the next
annual convention, and the national secre-
tary shall furnish locals with ballots for
the above purpose"
TO-days session of the interstate conVen-
ton of miners and operators was taken up
with a discussion of the two scales pre-
scented yesterday. District President Dolan
said that the miners knew when they pre-
sented the scale that they could not get it,
and the operators were not sincere when
they drew up the scale. Many operators
he said. were willing to concede the eight
hour day and the run-of-mine system 1t
was finally decided to refer both scales back
to the joint committee for revision and the
convention adjourned until tomorrow. In
the meantime the joint scale committee will
go over the scales and make a report at to-
morrow S session.

TRUST FORMING A TRUST.
Tin-PIate "COmbine" organizing a
Billet Steel and Bar Company.

CHICAGO. Jan. pa new trust" in
voiving the consolidation of important Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana plants manu-
featuring more exclusively billet" steel and
tin-pate bars, is said to have been planned
at a meeting Of representative mill owners
which was held here to-day. William II.
Moore, of Chicago who was the moving
spirit in the recent American tin-plate
deal, is credited with the promotion of the
steel negotiations though tin-plate interests
are said in no way to dominate the new
combination. The consolidated companies,
1t is said, are not to be regarded from the
exclusive nature of their product, as direct
competitors of either the Federal or Carne-
gle Steel Company's. though in some quar-
tcrs the opinion is current that, once the
combination of billet mills is effected, its
absorption by the Federal company will be
a natural and not improbable step. The pro-
posed consolidation includes plants that fur
nish very extensive percentage of the raw
material consumed by merchant mills"

some time past a feature of absorbing in
terest. Large as the production of pig iron
IS. eager buyers are found apparently for
every ton offered. Most furnaces are re-
ported booked ahead on orders and some
advances are frankly stated to be due to the
desire Of makers to discourage orders in
capable of fulfilment within any reasonable
period. A strong side light upon the strength
of iron and steel the world over Is offered
by the statement that iron in Glasgow this
week reached the highest prices noted for
ten years past. Features of the domestic
market have been gains in prices of Besse-
mer and Southern pig, steel billets, wire
rods and steel rails and in addition copper,
lead and tin are all higher.
There is a perceptibe improvement in the
demand for dry goods, particularly cotton
fabrics at New York and Boston, where late
advances are firmly held. There is also
more doing in dress woolens at those mar
kets. The lumber trade at most markets
is IN a satisfactory condition. The strength
or prices is unimpaired and advances in
white pine are reported from the West,
while IN hard woods, values and confidence
are alike unchanged.
Advices as to general distributive trade
are quite favorable. Raw wool is dull but
steady. At the London sale prices have
opened higher and the prediction is made
that present American stocks of wool will
nave TO be replaced at a considerably higher
range of values. The outlook in the boot
and shoe trade Is regarded as good and a
fair business is doing at steady prices in
hides and leather

DISTRUSTED BY CUBANS
BANCO EsPANOLA AT HAVANA Is
VIEWED WITH SUSPICION.
Payment of Back Taxes Meeting with
Such Opposition that the Order
May BE Rescinded.

HAVANA, Jan. 20. = Major General
Brooke, the governor general, has made
recommendations to Washington, it is un-
derstood here, against the collection of
taxes by the Banco Espanol in Cuba, and
is giving his attention to the matter of
taxes due since Jan. l. This question of
collection of back taxes by the Spanish
bank is daily gaining in Importance on ac-
count of the opposition the proposal has
caused. The bank is distrusted and dis
liked by the Cubans because for genera
tons the institution was Spain's agent in
forcing the collection of odious taxes and
because of its part in the Juggling of Span
ish credit during the war period Taxes
otherwise reasonable would be reluctantly
paid to Spanish taxgatherers. The system
would be too much of reminder of former
times, as the bank was distinctly part of
SPANS colonial system. The banks refusal
yesterday to honor its promissory notes is
considered to amount to reputation, and all
this tends to increase the. general distrust
of the bank and dissatisfaction with the
tax collection proposal.
Major General John c. Bates, military
commander of the Department of Santa
Clara, has arrived from Cfenfuegos to dis
department. He reports that there are %. 900
Spanish troops still at Cienfuegos, though
the transports are now leaving daily. The
last one is scheduled to sail on Feb. 10.
General Bates will be heartily glad to see
the last of the Spanish soldiery leave there
as the, city is frightfuly dirty. The Span
iards, however, are very well behaved.
Brigadier General George w Davis, mill
tary governor of the Department of Pinar
del Rio, has issued an order prohibiting
cock fighting. His action is applauded by
the best elements in the community.
The prisoners at the Preside, Havana
have voluntarily surrendered 37S knives and
other similar defensive weapons which
under the Spanish regime they carried con-
cealed about their persons as a protection
against the harsh measures to which they
We're sometimes subjected at the hands of
the guards. Lieutenant Colonel Montalvo,
the administrator of the prison, thanked
them so warmly that several prisoners wept.
-Four batteries of the First Maine Regi-
ment which had dsembarked from the
transport OLDHAM, re-embarked to-day be-
cause they did not know where to 60 Gen.
Brooke sent word to Maj Newcomb that he
had no orders and referred him to Maj.
Gen. Lee. No reply had been received from
General Lee at nightfall and it is rumored
the batteries may be returned to the United
States and mustered out
