The TeIeEraphers' Strike.
MILLS SHUT DOWN.
Overproduction Causes Cessation OF
Work I'm Many Steel and
Wire Plants.

New York, April 17.-John W. Gates,
of the American Steel & Wire COM
pany, was seen in reference to n dis
patch from the west which stated that
a number of the constituent concerns
in the main company had suspended
operations. He confirmed the state
ment and said that 12 of the mills in
the constituent companies have been
shut down. They are located at
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Joliet. ILL.,, Wau-
kegan, ILL.,, DeKalb. ILL.,, Newcastle,
Ind, and Anderson, Ind. Mr.. Gates
said the cause of the closing down
of the mills was overproduction. Mr..
Gates said he was unable to state
when the mills would resume opera
tions, as they first would have to as
ton. When asked as to his view as
to the trade situation and outlook,
Mr.. Gates stated that the shutdown
of the mills was the best evidence of
the current situation. Mr.. Gates made
another statement later. in which he
said that the 10 mills which had been
closed had a daily capacity of from
5000 to 1000 tons. He said that slack
business was an additional reason for
the suspension of operations. The best
information is that the mills will be
closed indefinitely. 1t is said that as
many as 1000 men, boys and girls will
be affected by the shutdown.

SENATORIAL COURTESY.
The Gentleman from the south Gave
Why and the Senate WAS
Adjourned.

Senator Pettus, of Alabama, is the most
owl-like member of the senate. He is so
ponderously solemn that he is unconscious.
ly humorous.
: Mr.. Pettus will be so years old next July.
He belongs to the old school of southern
statesmen now fast disappearing. 1t is easy
to see, in the dogmatic manner in which he
lays down the law to his senatorial col
leagues, that he has been judge. He speaks
with great deliberation, at the rate of about
six words a minute, and each word is en-
phasized by the waving of his chin whislers
His gestures are confined to wide sweep of
his arm from his body and an inverse mo-
ton. Everything he does or says is serious.
Even when he wants the senate to adjourn,
he goes about it in way that is the very
quintessence of solemn dignity. For in
stance, the other afternoon, when Mr..
Spooner was talking on the Quay case, Mr..
Pettus arose.
II should like to ask the senator to give
way for motion, if he pleases,"' remarked
Mr.. Pettus, uttering each word as if the
fate of the nation depended upon the an
swer.
81 will agree to anything the senator
wants me to-" replied Mr.. Spooner smiling
y, except to vote against my convictions on
a constitutional question"
II am not asking You to do that said
Mr.. Pettus, still mysterious, "but / want
you to give way to a motion"
"Well, what is it?" asked Mr.. Spooner.
at is to adjourn" answered Mr.. Pettus,
ip his melancholy voice and without a
lmile.
Every member of the senate laughed, and
the motion to adjourn was carried.-Wash-
ington Post
