THE AMERICAN IRON AND STEEL
AssoCIATIoN.-The annual me citing of
this association was held in Philadelphia
on the Goth of November. Samuel j..
Reeves, president, IN the chair. The sec
retary, j. M. Swank, submitted a statisti-.
cal report, embracing general review OF
the iron trade. 1t states that the present
financial crisis has deranged the whole busl-
ness, the prices Of iron having declined,
reaching in some lines far below the cost OF
production. At the beginning of November
fully one-third of the furnaces and mills
were idle and by the end Of the month
half of the furnaces will be blown out
The rail mills are bare of orders, stocks o.
Dig iron are accumulating with no sale al
any price. Thousands of iron workers
are out of work, and those EN-.
ployed have accepted reduction
Of fifteen per cent. in wages
Under the circumstances it is proper to
consider whether it is wise to longer con
tinue the arrangement for the importation
of foreign iron, twice repealed by congress
within four years by reducing the duties s
An increase of duty on pig iron from $6.o'
to 80 per ton and proportionately in othel
| classes would be o wise measure OF relle
by congress. Better reduce the revenu
than have cold and hunger in the house
of American workiDgmen.

THE MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA
BOUNDARY LINE.-The Maryland and
Virginia boundary commission held final
session in Barnum's City hotel, Balti-
more, on November Goth. After discus
sion continued through the two days the
commission concluded to report to their
respective principals at the coming session
of the legislatures their inability to agree
upon any settlement of the matters of dit
ference as to the boundary line between
the two states, Maryland and Virginia.
The members of the commission on the
part of Virginia, are General Henry A..
Wise, ex general of the Confederate army,
and formerly governor of Virginia, United
States minister to Brazil, member OF the
United States congress, &C., and William
Watts, who were present. and Col. DeJar.
nette, who was not present; and on the part
of Maryland, ex-Attorney General l. ID.
Jones, L. L. Waters, and W. j. Aydelotte,
state senator elect from Worcester county.
The commission has been in existence
several years, have held number OF con-
| ferences, examined vast amount OF docu-
mentary and other evidence which has been
submitted to the commission in elaborate
papers by Mr.. Jones and General Wise,
presenting the views Of their respective
sides. At one time last year several COM
promise propositions were made by each
side, and it was hoped, but vainly as II
turned out, that they were on the point Of
agreeing upon an adjustment of the dis.
pute.
The dispute, it will be recollected, is as
to the true boundary line between the
eastern shore. of Maryland ane
!, the eastern shore of Virginia, ant
also as to what is the true western
boundary line of Maryland and eastern lint
of Virginia, which includes the question q
!. to where the line should be drawn alonl
the Potomac. 1t is not likely any ill-feel
ing can be engendered between two state
SO closely knit to each other by ties Of Of
fection and interest as Virginia and Mary
: land. but still it were we'll this matter wa
settled on basis satisfactory to the pee
,, pie of both states, and it may be that tn
! reports which will be make by each CON
mission to the legislature of the state it ha
represented in the negotiations will thro
: such light upon the question as will lea
the way out of the difficulty and enab
!, the legislatures of the two states to Ia
