When she was goiag down the steps she pat her hand on my shoulder and asked me to think it over; that Mr. Dimond had put her in such a position that she was forced to do what she wes doing. Any owe belping her now she was willing 10 pay $500 and even would not stop &l $1000, and asked me if I kmew any one who had been with her husband if I would not try to nd out something about her husband and she would pay me. She did not say howmuch. She said: *“Of course ina case like this, Mollie, it would seem your duty to help the woman and not the man.” Isaid: “It is a matter of indifference to me.I am not going to help ou or Mr. Dimond.” She did not try to make me admit thatl had been intimate with Mr. Dimond.

C., Feb. 11L.—Noth- ing of much consequence has been done by the war fleet during the day. About noon the Amphitrite came up to the city and anchored off the Custom-house pier, where she still lies. An officer from the New York cams up to town yesterday and made contracts for coal for all the fleet, and the Amphitrite will be the first one to have her bunkers fiiled. The New York, WORK BEGUN, Maine, Columbia and Marblebead lay within a cable’s length of one another to- day untit nearly dark, and then they re- sumed their position of last night. During the day they placed tarzets for exercise of the secondary batteries, and they practiced with these to-night with the aid of their searchlights. The same work was done last night, and itis said that during the practics to-night a seaman on the Maine was injured, but the name isnot given aud the report is not rully substantiated. Itis no longer adoubt that the fleet is now actuallv engaged in its blockade work. The Vesuvius is looked for hourly, and from unofficial sources on shipboard it was learned that the Dolphin may re- turn to Charleston from Jacksonville as a blockade-runner. Neither the Indiana nor Massachusetts had joined the fleet late this afternoon, though” both are due here. Captain Chester of the Newark arrived in the city with his family during the day, and it is supposed that his ship, which has been coaling at Port Royal, will join him to-morrow. — HAWAILAN CEMUS ATATISTICS, Plenty of Argument Against Annexa- lion in These Figures.

Inside Price Still Believed to Be $17 Per Ton and the Biggest Demand Is Satisfied, CHICAGO, TiL, Feb 11.—The war of the steel rail giants did not undergo any change in this market to-day so far as the selling price is concerned, but the hostile lines were arrayed as strongly against each other as on the first day of the week. fact is that the present necessities of pios verous railroads in the steel rail line have been satisfied in a large majority of cases | by the contracts recently made with the Carnegie and Illinois Steel Companie: The Carnegie price for steel rails any- where was to-day $17 a ton. At th. tempting figure the following orders have been placed : Twenty: cago. Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad; 20,000 tops to the Atchison, Topeka and Sauta Fe, and 1400 tons to the Chicago, Hammond and Western.

Racing Season of 1896 Gr.ater Than Ever—Eastern R:iroads Charge | for Wheels, { ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 1i.—After a cam- paign marked somewhat by some unusual acrimony and the injection of an issue political rather than technical, Isanc B. Potter of New York to-day was elected president of the League of American a vote of 155 to 115 for Sterling Elliott, the present head of the | organization and the principal opponent | of Mr. Potter. For first vice-president, A. Cressy Morrison of Wisconsin was re- elected and Frank C. Kirkiker of Paterson, N. J., was elected second vice-president. For treasurer the result was entirely | unexpected, J. W. Clendening of Irving- | ton, Ky., being elected over . Kestom- | latsky of Iowa by 141to 124, Clendening | was Elliott’s candidate. Fred Adams of Massachusetts, J. Van Ort of Pennsyl- vania and G. L.

He feelingly and eloquently referred to the league’s past and itsfuture. (It was important that officers of the soundest judgment be selected. He said there was one man in the assembly that met all requirements and stood above all others. He continued in an impressive ive thousand tons to the Chi- | tone and then presented the name of Isaac | B. Potter of New York as a candidate for president. As the name escaped his lipsa tumult of applause resounded throngh the hall William Kempton, chief consul of Ohlo, | fotlowed, and in a few brief remarks nom- inated Sterling Eiliot: amid ereat ap- plause. He said Mr. Elliott’s record spoae for itself, and no nobler man could be found for the office. W. H. Tucker of Pennsyiv. sence Second Vice-President W. F. Palmer said to a representative of the United As- sociated Presses: “Tne lllinois Steel Company to-day sold rails for $18 per ton. We understand some of the Eastern mills have offered | them in this market at $17 per ton.” Do you look for the dissolution of the iron ore pool as a result of the rail and billet pools going to pieces?” “It is safe to say, speaking generally, that there is no such thing to-day as a pool in the iron and steel business. have nothing to do with the ore pool. Although $18 was the price officially given by the lllinois company for to-day, the inside opinion is that what rails were sold for to-day by the Western concern were at the Carnegie price of $i7. The sreference for placiitg orders witu the Lili- ois company would only be given b Western roads when the price was cut to the Carnegie quotation. The iact that there is no agreement among the companies operaling the iron | mines in the Mesaba and Vermillion ranges and in the Mahoning mine region, covering the output of the mines or the selling price for 186 as proof that there will be no izon ore pool this year. The agreement is not maae until tke time for lake navigation ap- proaches, when lake rates are fixed, and | upon them are based the price of ore. It is believed the big cut in the finished prod uct of the mines, which is likely to re- main through the year, will havea ten- dency to disturb the market in the raw material when the opportunity for a profit- able export business in the mill product in competition with English and Con nentai mills, is taken into consideration, e WESTERN MEN 10 SECEDE.

Unable to Pay for Street Im- provements The'r Preperty Is Mortgaged. Forec osure Drives th: Old Man Crazy and Now Hs Life-Partner Is a Muniac. STOCKTON, Car., Feb. 1L—A pitifal sight was to be seen this afternoon at the dwelling of David McLaughlin near the foot of Main street. In the kitchen a number of ladies from the neighborhood nad gathered round, and in their midst, bald firmly by two persons, with her back upon their laps, lay gasping and strug- gling an aged woman, who had become & raving maniac from the ioss of her home, which she and her husband were com- pelled to mortgage to pay for street im- provements, and which was taken away from them a few months ago. In the kitchen were two officers of the law, and at the front gate a hack had drawn up waiting to take the poor woman to the madhouse, while her husband had preceded her, for he, too, was driven insane by the loss of their home and was committed to the asylum some two months ago. The McCues owned four lots at the northwest corner of Channel and Aurora streets, which was their home place, and four more “east of the raiiroad.” The husband made his living by means of a horse and cart. He sold manure, and they got along very frugally. TFinally, they were ordered to improve the streets in front of their property, and to do so a mortzage had to be clapped on the lots. The interest could not be paid. The debt grew larger and larger, and at last every- thing went. Obliged to quit the spot which had been their home for some thirty-five years, they sought shelter elsewhere. The husband soon found it in the madhouse, for he went crazy brooding over his loss. Mrs. McCue obtained & new home at her brother’s house, but she conld not help worrying over the change in affairs. Yesterday she grew worse und would go outinto the back yard and throw herself onto the ground. Last night she sang and danced and screamed ana stamped with ber feet up and down the sidewalk in front of the dwelling, and this morning the same performance was repeated. Both husband and wife are now in the asylum. gt Sl JOSEANS ¥ISIT STOCKION. 84N Mayor and Counciimen Inspect Model Strect-Roller.

The object of the San Joseans’ visit to s city was to take a look at the new street-roller. Agent Maggard has been in San Jose trying to sell that city a roller similar to the one he sold 10 Stockton, and he suggesied that the officials of that place visit this city to look at the machine, knowing that the Stockton street oflicials would praise it. San Jose is now making extensive street improvements and the only rolier that the city owns is a six-ton hor-e machine. lhis morning the San Jose officials paid & visit to toe Sheriff's mu- seum cf curios, being shown around by Chief of Police Kingsbury.
