BUSINESS BREVITIES.
BIO COAL CONTRACT. A contract
for 140,000 tuns of Nova Scotia coal has
been closed by the Canadian Purine
railway with the Dominion Coal com
pany. This Is 40,000 tons more than the
Canadian Pacific used last year, and
Indicates that the roud expects to have
considerable traffic this year. The
tlrand Trunk has contracted for 130,000
tons from the same company, 70.000
tons in excess of last year's contract.
Of the whole amount. 100,000 tons are to
be delivered at Montreal and 110.000 at
Purtlund, Me.
ANTHRACITE TRADE. The an
thracite coal trade, while very quiet,
Ik as Hi m as a rock. Quite a good deal
of tonnage was contracted at the April
1 prices. This Is being moved and will
probably lint be cleaned up before the
lust of the month. There Is enough to
meet all demand, and for this reason
very littlf new business is being offered.
This creates the impression of a dead
lock. The production thus fur this year
to June 1 will be 15,750.000 tons. During
! the fdrregpoiidtna; five months of 1SM5
- the production was lli.MOO.noo tons, or
,'ivi I milium moil', i Herein lies
: the se:ivt uf the mobility at the present
lime. It Is probable that the month of
June will run three and one-hall' million
' r. ...... -.ii uiiu uuviuuilll
million tos for the six months. On a
.busls of 45,000,000 per year this would

A Philadelphia Lftu r'-U's. Idea of
l brill and How It Worked.- -'
Over In Philadelphia dwelt n yountr
law student who fell In love as he was
about to be admitted to practice, says
the Now York Journal. The jrlrl's
father also belonged to the profession
and was reckoned pretty smart, an
: riiiiauoipiiiii lawyers go. The old fel.
low gave a partial consent to the young
man's pleadings, but concluded he
would try the student and see if he was
worthy to be his son-in-law. Ho lie
said:
"The case of Clank against Blank has
been on the calendar several years. It
has been tried, appealed, decision re
versed, tried again and comes up ugaln
for argument at the next general term.
J am counsel for the plaintiff. I have
, had the ease four years but now I turn
It over to you. Here are tho pnpers;
. see what you can do."
The young- man took tho papern and
went to work with a vim horn of love
for if he won the caso should he not
also win the bride? At last life seemed
to him worth the living, lie studied the
case thoroughly. He consulted tho au
thorities and was loaded and primed for
a brilliant argument when the court
convened. He made his plea and won
, the case without any trouble.
i With u heart overflowing with jov
' he returned to his prospective father-in-law
and, slapping down the papers,
he exclaimed:
See here, sir: the rasp IS won! These
are the proofs. 1 What you tried for
years to do I have accomplished at a
single term of court. Now, may I have
your daughter?"
The old fellow looked up with a smile
upon his face as he replied:
"I think you a fool and you can't have
my daughter. But I will just give you
a little gratuitous advice: It Is true I
had the case for four years without
winning It, and it Is also true that I
made thousands of dollars out of It.1
But you have gone and settled It; and
what have you made? About $C0. No,

SOME WARM WORDS IN THE HOUSE
Mr. Walkt-r Interrupts Mr. DuUtll j
and the Latter RelortsWitk Interest, j
luimigratio- Question Dispone of. I
The Corliss Bill Agreed To.
Washington. May 20. The last but ,
one of the general appropriation bills
the one which provided for fortifications
and other works of defense occupies
the attention of the senate today, and
was passed before adjournment. It
curries nearly eleven millions of dollars,
about five million more thun It carried
when It passed the house. The princi
pal Item of increase is the one of $:t.H5,
000 for gun und mortar batteries. There
was little or no controversy over nny
of the provisions contained In the bill;
that a rather Important discussion was
precipitated bv an amendment offered
to the bill by Mr. C.orman (Dem., Md.)
This amendment proposed to authorize
the issue of one hundred millions of
treasury certificates to Indebtedness,
bearing three per cent. In order to meet
the expenditures called for by the ap
propriation bills of th present session,
the agregate of which Mr. Gorman put
ut $JO0.OHO,000.
The amendment was opposed by Mr.
Sherman (Rep.. Ohio) who declared
that never befcre hud BUch a proposi
tion been mude to meet the current ex
penses of the government in a time of
profound peace, and who argued that
the proper course for the senate to pur
sue was to take up the tariff bill passed
by the house In the early part of the
session, leave olt the free silver
amendment, which the senate had at
tached to it, and then pass it with such
additions as might be deemed wise, in
cluding a tax on tea and coffee. He
Faid that he would tear up all the ap
propriation bills rather than make such
a confession of bankruptcy. Mr. Gor
man argued that the deficiency In the
treasury could not be met in any other
way thut that which he proposed. At
the close of the discussion the amend
ment was laid on the table by a vote
of 12 to St.
. RIVER AND HARBOR RILL.
Earlier In the day a conference report
on the river and harbor bill was pre
sentde by Mr. Frye (,Rep, Me.) and on
effort was made by him to get immed
iate action on It. That was resisted
however, by Mr. Bncon (Dem, Ga.). who j
had learned that the appropriation for j
the harbor of Brunswick, Ga., has been i
struck out In conference, and who
wanted time to argue the matter before
the senate, and so Mr. Frye rather re
luctantly consented to have the report
go over till tomorrow. The only ques
tion that was not settled In conference
Is the one relating to the deep sea har
bor in Southern California. In the pre.
limlnary discussion there was Borne
sharp criticism of the disposition of
nators to adjourn congress without
attention to the grave and Important
questions regarding action.
The house disposed of the Immigra
tion iiuestlon today by passing the Mc-
Call educational test bill together with
the Corliss bill, Intended to protect the
lake cities from Canadian competition.
The latter was agreed to, 121 to 45. and
the amended bill passed 195 to 26. A
record of the vote by yeas and nays
was refused, only 36 members rl?lng to
second the demand by Mr. Fitzgerald
(Dem, Mass.) therefor. The consuhir
Inspection bill, proposed by Mr. W. A.
Stone. (Rep, Penna.) was rejected 75 to
131, He, too, was unable to get a vote
of record. The debate on the question
was participated In by Messrs. Wilson,
(Dem.. S. C.) and Danford (Reb., Ohio)
In support of all the bills; by Messrs.
McCall (Rep., Mass) and Burtholdt,
(Rep., Mo.) In support of the educa
tional test bill: and by Messrs. Mahany
(Rep., N. Y.) and Hendrlck (Dem., Ky.)
against any additional restrict ons.
The continuation of the debate was
preceded by a sensational outbreak In
the Republican ranks against the man
agement of the majority. It was pre
cipitated by the presentation of an or
der from the committee on rules, by
Mr. Henderson (Hep., Iowa) setting
aside Thursday and Friday (private bill
under the rules) for the consideration
of measures reported from the commit
tee on labor. It was opposed by
Messrs. Walker (Rep., Mass.), Plckler
(Rep.. 8. D.) I'hntrmun of the committee
on invalid pensions, and Muhau (Rep.,
Pa.) chairman of the committee on war
claims, who protested agulnst depriv
ing the house of the opportunity to con
sider and dispose of the bills on the
private calendar.-
. MR. WALKER EXPLAINS.
Mr. Walker vehemently denounced
the "leaders" and asserted that their
reign would come to an end with this
congress: that In the next house, rules
would be adopted by which business
could be transacted in accordance
therewith, or nothing would be done.
He condemned in bitter terms the policy
which prevented the government from
paying Its honest debts, denouncing it
us a shame and disgrace such as no
other country In the world labored un
der, and asserted that the same policy
had been pursued in all the congresses
of which he had been a member, by de
sign of the leaders, "although I have
been a member of congress for eight
yearn," he dramatically exclaimed, "I
get no more consideration than a dog."
Mr. Malum gave notice that In the next
session of congress no bllla would he
passed by unanimous consent, that they
must all take their chances on the
consideration of the calendars.
The management of the house was
defended by Messrs. Cannon (Rep., 111.),
Henderson (Hep., la.) and Dalzell (Rep.,
fa.) v hue the latter was speaking,
Mr. Walker Interrupted lilm to sav
"that demugogery won't go,"whereupon
Mr. Darnell retorte.a white with pas
sion, "I will not suffer myself to be In
terrupted Dy me nnpudene of tho gen
tleman from Massachusetts."
Mr. Mahon's motion to recommit the
order with Instructions to give the com
mittee on labor next Tuestluy instead
of Friday, was defeated 55 to 128, and
the order as adopted agreed to.
President Cleveland's message veto
ing the bill to pension Lydla A. Taft,
the divorced wife of a de?eased soldier,
was read and referred.
HUNTER'sTiailf WITH CRANES.
Infuriated Birds Attack nn Indianian
nnd lie Kills Thirteen.
Vlncennes. Ind May 20. While Allen
Newman, of Decker, was hunting to
day he fired upon a (look of cranes and
wounded one. When he' attempted to
capture the crippled bird It struck at
him viciously with its beak and tried to
tear out his cyeB.
The infuriated' crane made such a
nolso that the rest of the flock returned
to Its aid and all set upon Mr. .New
man, who beat them off with his gun.
The fight lasted until thirteen cranes
lay dead upon the field, and the hunter
was exhausted before he won his battle.
BL00MER?0IRL'SKISS.
8ho Threw It nt a Married Man and Is
Fined 93 in Police Court.
Wichita, Kan., May 20. Mary Asch
croft, a handsome young Rlrl, was ar
rested last evening; on the complaint of
James F. Fawcett, a merchant, and
fined Sft In police court. The offense
was that of throwing a kiss over a
fence at Fawcett, who was sitting on
the porch, -in the presence of his wife.
Mill Aschcroft was out taking a spin
on btr wheal, and displaying (or the
first time a handsome pair of bloomers,
anil. feeling rather light of spirit. Khe
threw a kisM "Just for fun." as she af
terward explained to the Judge.
Fawcett s wife did not like it at all.
and to conciliate her he had Miss Aach
croft arrested for disturbing the peace
of mind. The judge held that Pawcett
was a man who knew whether his peace
of mind was disturbed or not. and as he
had sworn that it was. there was nothing-
left for him but to inflict the tine.
HANGED BY BOYS.
Juvenile Executioners Try to Hat a

Ottumwa, la.. May 20. A Juvenile
hanging took place ut Kldon, in the
southwest part of this county yester
day, and as a result a 13-year-old boy
Is lying at the point of death, and two
youths of IS and 22 years are in Jaii.
charged with assault with intent to
commit murder.
Michael Evans and Fred Dowd be
cume enraged yesterday at the taunts
of young James Spurback, and, pro
curing a chain, tied It around his neck
and strung him up to the fence. The
victim was Dually resuscitated, but, al
though still alive, it Is not thought he
will recover.
IRON AND STEEL TRADE.
Resume of the Industries From Bulletin
of the American Steel Associa
tion Product ol 1895.
Philadelphia. May 20. The Bulletin
of the American Iron and Steel asso
ciation this week In its resume of the
iron and steel trade, says: "While the
demand for iron and steel In the early
months of 18! has declined, as com
pared with the demand in the summer
and In the closing months of ISM, influ
ences have been at work which have
thus far prevented a ruinous shrinkage
In prices. In September, 18W. the price
of Connelsville furnuce coke was ad
vanced from 11.35 to $1.60 per ton, and
In December it was still further ad
vanced to 12 per ton. which Is the pres
ent quotation. Early in the present
year an understanding was reached by
the producers of Lake Superior Iron ore
which closely foreshadowed a mate
rial avandce In oron ore prices, and In
March these prices Wi re definitely fixed
for the year at an advance averaging
over 1 per tone above the prices of
1895. These advances In the price of
raw materials compelled the manufac
turers uf Bessemer pig iron to Increase
their prices late In March, and the ad
vance then Been red has since been fair
ly well maintained. Early in April an
understanding with regard to prices
was also reached by the producers of
Bessemer steel billets, by which the
price of billets was promptly advanced,
this advance being rendered necessary
by the increase in the price of Bessemer
pig iron. Other Iron and steel prices
have shown varying tendencies In April
and May. The Improvement In the de
mand for iron and steel In 1895 and the
Increase In Iron and steel prices were
accompanied by a general advance In
the wages of iron and steel workers,
coke workers and coal miners. This
advance was almost without exception
voluntary on the part of the employers
and It was also spontaneous.
"The recovery of our Iron and sterl
Industries in 1895 from the prostration
of 1S93 and 1894 was not only complete,
but It was remarkable In the magnitude
of the results that were attained. In
most branches of these Industries the
largest production ever recorded was
achieved in W95. Steel rails form the
only notable exception to the r ule of
largest production In that year.
"A summary of the leading results
established by the statistical details
to be presented hereafter is worthy of
the prominence that is here given to It,
In 1895 the United States made 9.446,308
gross tons of pig Iron, 4.909 128 tons of
bessemer steel Ingots; 1,137,182 tons of
open , hearth steel, and 6.114,834 tons
of steel of all kinds and rolled In all
6,189,574 tons of finished iron and steel.
Including rails; there were also shipped
In the same year 10,438,268 tons of Lake
Superior Iron ore and 8,244,438 net tons
of Connellsvllle coke. The year 1895
was the champion year in the produc
tion of American Iron and steel."
