NO FEARS ABOUT oVeR;PRoDUcTIoN,

PHILADELPHIA, December, 6.-Secretary
Swank, of the Iron and Steel Association,
in commenting upon the,iron situation
says:
What of the future? First, there will
be no panic nor the semblance Of it. The
sensational and stock-iobbing newspaper
cannot create it. Next importations OF
iron and steel must from this time decrease,
as our low prices will help us to retain tue
home market. Next consumption
OF many leading. iron ana stee,
products y is still - aeuye, anu
this consumption is likely to iconhnueit as
the county ssRsssal Ssss
adjusted upon lower plane, redhctfons in
the prices of fuel and iron ore and IN the
wages of labor may be expected to follow:
All are necessary, but workingmen Will
find some compensation in the lower prices
at which they can buy the necessaries OF
life. Finally, this is o big country, we
have the best money in the world and plen-
ty of il, we have had good harvest, the
balance OF trade may be expected to be
soon on the right side, and no Congress
will dare to re-enact the tariff OF 1916 or
ANYTHING like il. We will soon be running
along as if nothing had happened, but wfth
smaller profits than have characterized tire
last three years.
1t is rather remarkable that the iron and
steel owners of this country should im-
port in ten months this year, 10000 tons
steel rails; $4,000 tons steel blooms, and
49,, 600 tons pig iron, while at the same
time our shippers have exported bread
stuffs and provisions less last year by $780,
coo 900 than during same time 1881.
Outside of steeI.rails there is no serlohs
as. to ,.oyer-Production Tor
months TO come. The extraordinary re-
0uirements of the country cannot be sud
denly arrested nor easily met. The iron
industry is in vigorous health and is likely
TO so continue for long time to come.

BosroN, December 6.-Mrs. Langtry had
very warm reception at the Globe Theater
1t was not boistrous nor over.enthusiastic,
but 1t was cordial, Society did not turn out
en- masse, but it was we'll represented. The
theater was packed: Every box and every
seat was filled, and the Hobbies had the
usual contingent of first night habitues and
the r'men about town." Mrs. Langtry
chose TO make her bow in IAN Unequal
Match" The first act dragged heavily
until the time approached for ahe entrance
of the long heralded beauty, when there
was q rustic in the audience, an adjusting
her appearance. She bowed gracefully in
acknowledgement Of very hearty round
OF applause, and at once went on with her
lines. Then the audience sat still and
studied. . They watched her every move
and followed her every tone and utter.
ance. They had heard that she was very
beautiful woman and a poor actress
They were coolly determined to decide for
themselves. As the play proceeded there
seemed to prevail an impression that Mrs.
Langtry had not got full credit in New
York for her dramatic talent. She acquit-
ted herself very successfully and her efforts
were warmly applauded. At the end of
the second act she was honored with very
enthusiastic call, and as she came before
the curtain q perfect flower garden con-
fronted her. Six handsome baskets of
choicest flowers were sent over the foot
lights amid the plaudits of the entire audi
ence. The play was handsomely set but
the support was only fairly good.
When Mrs. Langtry arrived at her hotel,
later, she was serenaded by a society of
English gentlemen, to each of whom she
was afterward Introduced The affair was
very successful and very select. The Lily"
has every reason to be pleased with her re.
Ception in Boston.

WESTERN IRON ASSOCIATION.
A Meeting Held at Pittsburgh - The
State or the Trade.

PIrTsBuRsH. December 6, - A special
meeting of the Western Iron Association
was held this Afternoon for the purpose OF
considering the state of the trade. There
was a large attendance OF Pittsburgh manu-
facturers, while the representation from
mills outside Of this city was only fair. Re
ports showed that while prices were low
stocks were not accumulatingr and If
the manufacturers were not so eager to put
their stocks on the markets prices would be
better. The steel trade, they said, was
also looking mp, and is was STATED that
since the reduction, orders had been placed
for OOOOO tons of steel.rails. -.
The report of the Tariff Commission next
received consideration and was discussed
at length. Mr.. A. NJ. Byers, one of = the
most prominent manufacturers present,
stated after the meeting that iron manu-
facturers generally expressed themselves
as satisfied with the report as whole, but
not with certain portions OF it, especially
the recommendation for a reduction on
scrap. which they consider too low. = The
steel men are very much dissatisfied, and
say the reduction will enable England to
compete with them, even in New ,Gork.
Before adjournment committee was
appointed to obtain signatures OF manufac-
lures calling general meeting, at which
the Tariff Commission report will be con-
sdered and some definite steps taken
either for or against il.

AN ELePEMENT SPOILED.
An Astute Detective RadeIy Interferes
With Cupid's Works.

MONTREAL, December G.-Nliss Jessie Raf-
fenburg is the pretty daughter of leading
citizen of Muskegon. Mich. She was en-
amoured OF young Montreal man named
Joseph Roch, Who had been temporary
resident OF Muskegon. She was fifteen and
lovable and Joseph loved her, but the pa
rents forbade the pair 10 meet, therefore
clandestine cOartship followed. One day
early last week Jessie quietly took the train
from Muskegon and came East. Joseph
was suspected of knowing the reason for
her sudden departure. He would not take
the agonized parents into his confidence,
and two days afterward. he also suddenly
disappeared. He did not get away as quietly
as he liked, however. c. NJ. King, deputy
sheriff and detective, OF Muskegon, boarded
the same train and came on with the young
Lochinvar TO Montreal. Joseph was quite
taken aback when he saw that the detec-
tive was OH the train, but was in absolute
despair when the Montreal police arrested
him. At first he refused to confess any
knowledge of Jessie's whereabouts, but at
length he admitted that she was awaiting
him at hotel in Sarnis, where he was to
have ioined her. Sarnia is Just opposite
Port Huron, Mich, and Roch would have
ioined Jessie there had he not noticed the
detective shadowing him. Jessie has been
sent home 10 her mamma by force OF the
law, while Joseph mourns that the astute-
ness of the detective has despoiled him OF
pretty and loving wife.

Der 20 James Bradley, q negro, living at

ton, when two women came from Hyde

Bradley's wife, and each exhibited a child
OF which be was alleged 10 be the father.
These developments broke of the marriage
and threw Bradley into q fit OF rage
and despair. He went to the cotton

himself into the half filed box in which
the cotton is packed into bales. When the
laborers returned the box was filled aud

The select Committee on Civil Service

could not help thinking that II the Repuo-

well as they had worked in spots, he would
have gone in by q couple OF thousand

THE GOLDEN WEST.
The Chances for Making n Fortune In
Arizona and New Mexico.

Special Dispatch 20 the Register.
WASHINGTON. December 6.-I met Mr..
J. D. Whitman, frequent contributor to
the REGISTER on agricultural topics, at the
National Hotel, to day, and he told me he
was looking up some reports and surveys
in the Interior Department for the infor-
nation Of himself and some friends who
were about starting on a tour Of investiga-
ton through Arizona and New Mexico.
Mr.. Whitman thinks that section is the
promised land for people who want to go
into the cattle or mining line, or those who
are seeking an equable and mild climate.
With good society and good water
two things, which an obsery-
ing philosopher once said, would
make hell habitable) he is OF the
opinion that a man could live as comfort
able and happily in some portions OF these
territories as in any portion OF the world
and get along faster than in any other oil
our far Western divisions. II the emigrant
found a ranch unsuited to his ability, he
could try mining, and between them both
and the miscellaneous business which Is
springing up between the main Industries
OF that locality, earn q competence. IIhe
system of artesian wells, Mr. Whitman
thinks, is eventually bound to reclaim that
portion of these territories now lost for want
of irrigation, and with that want supplied
be considers it the best grazing ground on
the continent. .-.A..,
As to mining, he spoke less confidently
but seemed to think there were yet good
many unbound opportunities there in that
direction. Perhaps it is a mere question OF
opening enough Oritices. When ex.Mar-
shal Ward Lamon came back to Washing
ton from Colorado the first time, he told
me he had "grubstaked" every fellow out
there who was out of a Job, and they were
all working on shares for him. When en-
quired of as to the results up to that juno

A PosToFFIcE FIGHT,
Patriots Who Are willing TO Become
Postmaster OF PArkersburr.

Special Dispatch to the Reqister,
WASHINGTON, December 6.-I telegranbed
You, day or two since, that the question
OF the Parkersburg pOstoffice incumbent
was attracting some attention again. Char.
lie Scott, who has been smiling through
the delivery windows for the past four
years, will have to get his commission re-
newed in the course Of the next few weeks
If he is going to remain in office, and this
has been selected by the opposition as the
best time TO make q dash on his works
The tight has been going in desultory
sort OF way for the past year, and for that
matter ever since Scott Supplanted James
Boreman, brother of the Ex-Governor, in
the office. The Boremans have never rest
ed quietly under the new dispenSation,
and they are said 20 have the sympathy
and aid Ot Old-timers in the party like ex-
Governor Stevenson, Judge John Jackson,
and John Hutchinson. Per c0atra Scott has
had the help Of the younger set, such as
SCO6eld, Tony Nroman, Van Berkey ct al.
When ! was here last winter a man named
Davidson was put forward by
The FOREMAN Party
for the place, and came down here chap
eroned by ex-TreaSurer John S. Burdett
Davidson was a cousin or other relative of
John S, and John S. was a cousin OF Roam
ing Robert Burdett, and Roaming Robert
was valued friend aud employe of Frank
Hatton, Assistant Postmaster General,
and publisher of the Burlington Haweye.
Through this mingled chain of consan-
guinity and journalism il was hoped that
the favor of the Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral might be reached. There was a weak
link somewhere, however, and Scott stayed
on. Curiously enough, the present move
ment works in the same way. l.. w. Skin
ner, WHO now takes DayidsOn's place as an
applicant, is a relative OF Hatton s-wife'S
sisters husband, | belieye-and it is hoped
that IL Hatton will not love him as brother
he will at least love him as a brother-in-
law. Skinner is represented as competent
and efficient. He came to Parkersburg
from Marietta, o., about eight years since,
and has resided in Prrkersburg, employed
rs an accountant by one OF the large oil
companies of that city.
