Logan for President.

WASHINGTON, Nov 18.-The local papers
do not allow the public to forget that Senator
Logan is an available candidate for the presi-
dency. A contributor in The Republican this
morning says:
a 1.-The words of an old soldier in this morn
ing's Republican, with reference to Gen. Lo-
gan, will be echoed all over the great north
and west. Gen. Logan will draw the votes of
tens of thousands Of loyal Democrats who
fought for the union. The soldiers all
love him for his courage and devotion
to their interests. He and he alone killed
that infamous sixty surgeon bill; and, too, the
people all respect and admire a man who has
never been charged with dishonorable act
since he entered public life Honor, honesty
and devotion to his country belong to the name
of John A. Logan. He will solidify the Re-
publicans and disorganize the Democrats. I
have especial means of knowing of what I
speak, for l have seen letters from hundreds
Of soldiers who were Democrats, avowing
their determination to support Logan if he
ever was nominated for president"

IRON AND STEEL INTERESTS.
All the Mills in Philadelphia Running
on Full Time--A Reduction in the
Price of ErOn

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov 22.-The Philadel-
phia iron and steel men do not believe the re-
ports from the interior and the west mean a
general depression in that industry. Every
rolling mill in the city is running on full time,
and there is no prospect of reduction of the
working time.
At the monthly meeting of the proprietors
of the rolling mills of the city yesterday, the
price of ironfor the ensuing month was fixed
at 2 $40 per pound, reduction from the last
fixed rate in February of 2-10ths of cent
According to the schedule of wages agreed
upon in 1878 between the manufacturers and
workmen, the reduced price of iron brings the
workmen's wages down per cent This reduc-
ton will so into effect ON the first Monday in
December.

prefer to have the body brought to Washing

Success of the Ministry---LOrdR Ran
dOIph Churchill Repudiated as q
Leader.


LONDON, Nov. 20.-Smalleys special to The
Tribune says: The rapid progress of bust
ness before parliament during the week sur
prises both parties. The systematic obstruc-
tons designed by Lord Randolph Churchill
have pretty much broken down. The most
influential section of the Tories and the Par
nellites as a party have alike declined to follow
Lord Randolphs lead. The Standard con-
fesses that the ministers have reason for
something more than satisfaction, but pre-
diets coming concessions to the Irish in ex-
change for the suspended hostility. The same
journal threatens that the house of lords will
ultimately reject every measure placed
in the commons by means Of the closure.
Rumors Of cabinet changes are merely re-
viyals of guesses already months old, posi-
bic, but purely conjectural 1t is certain that
no changes will be made before the house ad-
journs, and possibly none till early next year.
SiT Stafford Northcote's malady is weak action
of the heart. not Immediately dangerous, but
threatening serious consequences if exposed
to further anxiety and worry The members
consider Lord Randolph Churchill measurably
responsible for Sir Stafford Northcotes illness.
Mr. Cross succeeds temporarily to the leader
ship The party fully expects that Sir Stat
ford Northcote will resume his duties next
