THE BAYVIEW DIFFICULTY.
MILWAUKEE, June 1.-The mill men at
Bayview, near Milwaukee, are out, and
the strike has actually begun. A meet
ing of the men last evening was attended
and speeches and enthusiastic applause
was the general order. This morning the
Merchant Bar and Irish plate mills were
stopped, and the rail mill is now the
only one that is running. The demand
for iron rails has been, and is, very light,
and the prospect is that long strike will
follow The puddle mill was stopped
last Saturday evening; not on account OF
ihe anticipated trouble, but because there
is an over supply Of puddle bar on hand,
sufficient to run the rail and merchant
mills from three to six months.
A GLOOMY OUTLOOK.
WHEELING, w. Va, June 1.-The iron
and nail mills of this city and vicinity
shut down this evening for an indefinite
time, the proposition having been refused
to sign anew scale of wages for the en-
ployes, which would take effect to-mor-
row. The Whitaker sheet iron mills
signed the scale this evening, and Will be
the only mill IN operation tomorrow. By
this stoppage 5000 men will be thrown
out of employment here. Both parties are
firm, and the outlook is gloomy in the
extreme.

PoRTER's RESTORATION.
WASHINGTON, May 31-Gen. Logan ex-
spects his minority report on the Porter
case to be approved by Senators Hawley
:and Harrison, and says that Senator Haw-
ley informed him that he is in accord with
its main proposition. The majority re-
port, which accompanies the bill for the
relief of Fitz John Porter, recites the
history of the case, the courtmartial and
subsequent board of review, and alludes
to the memorial Of Gen. Porter, hereto
fore published, and concludes as follows:
"The action of President Arthur in remit
ting the unexpired portion of the sentence
of Gen. Potter is based upon review of
the present application of Gen. Porter for
restoration to the army from the objection
that congress would be revising the
sentence of the court martial. So
much of the sentence as the president
has power to act upon having been by
him RENTED, it now remains for congress
to perform that act Of justice which the
report of the board emphatically recon-
mended." The report concludes: "Hav-
ing thus given reasons for our conclusions
we have the honor to report IN accordance
with the presidents order that in our
opinion justice requires at his hands such
action as may be necessary to annul and
set aside the findings and sentence of the
court martial in the case of Gen. Fitz
John Porter, and to restore him to the
position Of which that sentence deprived
him, such restoration to take effect from
the date of his dismissal from the service.
Sewells' bill authorizes the appoint
ment of Fitz John Porter to the position
of colonel in the army with the grade and
rank held by him at the time of his dis
missal from the army, providing he shall
receive no pay, compensation or allow
ance whatever for the time intervening
between his dismissal from the service
and his appointment under this act.
