the Iowa Miners union was in session here
today. The committee was addressed by
Mayor Hlllis and Alderman Wllklns In re
gard to allowing enough coal to be mined
to keep the water works going in this city.
But the executive committee refused this
request point blank. It Is held by the
minors that to allow a little work would
lead to a general disruption of the strike.
The coal strike Is putting some of the manu
facturing plants In a hazardous position.
Without coal they can do nothing. A brief
run by burning wood would tide the matter
over a few days , but the managers know
that they must have coal within a very short
time.

CLEVELAND , May 22. The convention of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers resumed consideration of the
scale question today. When Secretary Kll-
gallon's attention was called to the fact that
what was claimed to be the tcale in all
Its details as adopted by the present conven
tion had been published In Pittsburg this
morning he said : "It Is Impossible. Wo
have not completed the/ scale , nor can we dose
so for a day or two at least. It may be
that the Pittsburg papers have gotten hold
of last year's scale and printed It under the
Impression that It was the new one , but I
am perfectly sure that nothing has been
given out as to the result of the work of
the present convention. "

DULUTH , May 22. A very unusual iron
transaction has just been closed hero be
tween the Minnesota Blast Furnace company
of Duluth and a leading Pittsburg steel
maker. The latter has bought front the
local Iron company about $30,000 worth of
Bessemer pig Iron , to be shipped at once ,
all rail , to Pittsburg. There will be be
tween three and four full tra'n ' loads of Iron
and the first lot has already gone forward.
Satisfaction is expressed at the price. Thin
sale Is directly due to the coal strike In the
east , but It Is the first time that any coke
company so far west has b en patronized by
eastern manufacturers.

rolled on HIP roster of the senate or liotibo
shed more or less radiance on the scone.
But to come down to the candidates ,
though some of those already mentioned
think they are In It. Lincoln and Lancaster
county come to the front , as u.sual , with
more men that want something than any
other part of the state. For one olllce they
have two aspirants , for both Frank Ale-
Clunky and li. L. II. Austlm want to be
superintendent of public Instruction. In ad
dition , there Is I. M. Huymond for gov
ernor. R. B .Moore for lieutenant governor ,
and Hilly Hamilton for attorney general.
Bvery one of these prospective candidates
was on hand last night , and right In the
swim at least they were surrounded by a
small sea of humanity.
Of the other alleged candidates for gov
ernor , there were present at the meeting
Jack MacColl , Tom Majors , John Peters ,
George 1' . Uemls , 12. K. Valentine and W.
J. Broatch. The only one who failed to pill
In an appearance was A. B. C'ady.
Every announced candidate for the'-liom-
Inatlon of lieutenant goveinor was person
ally on hand to watch out for his own In
terests. There were Orlando Tofft of
Avoca , K. M. Correll of Hebron , C. M
Miller of Fairmont , and Tom Cr.ine of
Douglas. Editor Coirell expressed himself
confident of taking In the pilze unless Sen
ator Tefft should fool him.
Of the live candidates for secretary of
state , four were on deck T. J. I'lckctt of
Ashland , .1. C. F. McKesson of Emerald ,
A. H. Cruzen of Curtis , and Captain C. 1C.
Adams of Superior. The absentee was Cash
Fuller of Imperial , who was too bn y sell
ing real estate to leave Chase county.
There didn't seem to be many candidates
for auditor around where Gene Moore was ,
and he was quite promiscuous. Tieasurer
Hartley was In much the same condition ,
and there was the same scarcity of candi
dates noticeable for treasurer.
For attorney general there were a couple
of announced candidates on hand and a
number of them were concealed In the
brush. W. S. Summers , the present deputy ,
was not slow to dcclate that he wanted
the place , and neither was W. S. Hamilton
of Lincoln. Up to a week ago It was said
that J. L. Mcl'hccley of Mlnden wanted
the job , but his organ has lately declared
that It was authorized to say that Mac-
would decline every offer made to him.
Still Mac was on hand lost night.
Colonel Itussell of Schuyler. Jake Dew of
Tecumseh and J. U. Sutherland of Teku-
mah were cliculutlns around the ciowd try-
Ins to ascertain what their chances were
to secure the nomination for commissioner
of public lands and buildings to succeed
Gus Humphrey. A couple of other people
who also have tllelr eye on that Job , S. .M.
Bailey and M. J. Abbott , were not visible
In the throng , but their friends were there.
A. 1C. Goudy hopes to succeed himself as
superintendent of public instruction , but
there are other people Mshlng for the same
place. Mr. Goudy was looking after things
himself and on the same mission were L.
L. H. Austin of Lincoln , Frank MclMusky ,
also of the capital city , and c1. G. Pearse ,
superintendent of schools at Beatrice.
That completes the list of state offices to
be filled the coming fall , but It doesn't
cover all the candidates who were on hand
last night. Kvery congressional district
had one or more men present who wanted
to sit In the house of representatives , and
there were two or three senatorial as
pirants mixed up In the crowd. John L.
Webster was one of the latter , but he al
lowed himself to get lost when John Al.
Thurston began an address to the assem
blage.
It would hardly do to overlook the fact
that Cuptain Phelps Paine and J. H. Ager ,
who ought to have been Interred long ago ,
were again on earth for a season.

ST. PAUL , Alay 22.-Speclal ( to The
Bee. ) This evening Rev. Bishop Charles 11.
Fowler , D. D. , LL. D. , of the Methodist
Episcopal church , gave his great lecture in
this city , at the House of Hope Church , on
AbrahamLincoln. .
Long1 before the time arrived for the lec
ture the large auditorium was packed full.
The presence of so large an audience was a
fitting tribute to the eminent ability of the
bishop , and a testimony of the high regard
in which he Is held by the people of the
northwest.
The meeting was presided over by Gov
ernor Nelson , who. In Introducing the
speaker , said : "It affords me great pleasure
to Introduce BO great an orator and to have
the pleasure of hearing- his great lectuie on
Abraham Lincoln. "
He has frequently distinguished himself
on national occasions ns an orator of superb
power , but it Is safe to say that his lecture
on Abraham Lincoln is the master-piece of
his life. Its lofty thought , historic data ,
diplomatic Insight , burning patriotism ,
spontaneous wit , vivid word painting ,
classic diction and thrilling diumatlc effect ,
lift It Into the llrst rank of American plat
form eloquence. ,
On this occasion he spoke for over two
hours , without notes , holding the people
spellbound.
Ills words were repeatedly greeted with
storms of applauSe. He said In part :
"God's prophets have the right of way.
They come with divine authority. They
kindle a torch that many centuries cannot
quench. They utter a new evangel , or
open a new door , or conquer a new foe.
plant n new republic , or found a new civil
ization. They servo most , and , therefore ,
are greatest. The world cannot foiget
Abraham , or Moses , or Leonldas. or Cln-
clnnatus , or Pericles , or Paul , or Richelieu.
or Cromwell , or Washington. Mankind will
never forget our addition to this llttla croup
of heroes , Abraham Lincoln , who had the
faith of Abraham , the leadership of Aloses ,
the courage of Leonldas , the gentle con
tentment of Ctnclnnatus , the statesmanship
of Pericles , the massive Intellectual force of
Paul , the political Rtiguclty of Rich
elieu , the Integrity of Cromwell and the
patriotism of Washington.
