scHLEY AT CHICAGO.
Says That He Wants No More Of Poll.
tics-Warmly Welcomed.

Chicago. Jan. 26.-Rear Admiral w.
s. Schley yesterday thrice declared
that he had no intention of entering pol
itics. His remarks We're calculated to
set at rest for all time the political am
bitions which some of his admirers
have entertained for him. He said that
no office, however high, would tempt
him to jeopardize the love which the
people of this country have expressed
for him.
The day for the admiral was round
of receptions, at each of which he ex-
pressed his gratitude for tokens OF es-
teen and APPRECIATION.
The demonstrations reached their ell
max in the banquet given in his honor
by the Hamilton Club last-night. Ap-
proximately $50 guests were present.
Admiral Schley arrived at $3.50 a. m.
and was greeted with tumultuous ac-
claim from thousands of people who
crowded the Baltimore X Ohio depot
and thronged nearby streets for blocks.
His reception here was the elimination
of the demonstrations In his honor
which have occurred all along the route
from Washington.
"The trip has been uneventful," said
the hero OF Santiago. But l have been
deeply moved by the demonstrations OF
the people along the route. You know
It moves me so l can scarcely speak to
see the little hands waving at me from
the small depot platforms. l love the
little ones"
Mrs. Schley seemed to enjoy the dem.
onstration even more than her dustin
gulshed husband.

LEAD ADVANCES.
Smelling Combine Adds So to the
Price-Copper Also Rises.

New York. Jan. 27.-Prices of pig
lead We're advanced 50 ton Saturday
by the American Smelling and Refin-
ing Company and notices to this effect
were sent all over the United States.
In December last. as result of con-
ferences between the leading lead pro-
ducers of Idaho and Utah and officials
of the American Smelling and Refining
Company, it was decided to reduce
prices and at the same time curtail
production. a harmonious working
arrangement was entered into by all
parties, the price of lead was cut and
the surplus stock which had accumu-
lated was greatly lessened.
The demand among consumers con-
tinued strong. so much so, in fact, that
last week it was decided to advance
prices 50 n ton. The new list prices
will go into effect at once.
In Europe better trade conditions
also prevail. Higher prices went into
effect in England. France and Ger
many last week, the advance being S.
a ton.
Monday Chairman Guggenheim of
the smelling company will start on n
trip of inspection over the various
plants of the company located in Colo
RADIO, Utah and Old Mexico.
The new price of lead will be on the
basis of 4.1 cents n pounds. or an ad-
vance of 10 cents per 100 pounds.
Producers of copper also report a bet
ter demand at present prices. Quota
tions, according to some authorities,
have been marked up Is cent n pound
during the last few days. to 111s cents,
the quotation established by the Unit
ed Metals Selling Company three
weeks ago. This price has been under
cut several times for lake copper, so
that II cents was the price generally
quoted.
A meeting of brass manufacturers
has been called for next week to take
action on the new price list. Since
copper has sold at II cents brass goods
have not been marked down to cor
responding level.

The awc-inspiring force of this volt

DIR. Bokenham's experience is that in
very bad cases of consumption the
cough has been greatly reduced. the
night sweats have disappeared the ap-
petite has improved and there has been
II gain in weight and general health. So
that even if the consumption baccili
have not been destroyed. it is certain
that their virulence has been much de-
creased that they have been brought
under control and that the patient has
felt cured. A doubt entertained by

whether II is anything but mere ex-
