The Rolling Mill Crisis.

CINCINNATI, May 30.-The rolling mill
operatives to-day presented to all the mill
prOprietOrs of this district a new scale of
prices, being the same as in June. 1891,
and an advance of fifty cents per ton in
the mills using ore fife. In every instance
the scale was rejected, the mill owners
claiming that the operatives are bound
by the contract made in 1881 not to pre-
sent a scale of prices but to continue at
the scale in force in June, 1881, until a
scale was agreed on at Pittsburg. There
is no probability that the owners will re-

RESTING ON THEIR ARMS
NO MORE FIGHTING TO BE DONE
IN TONQUIN TILL JULY.

The French to Take the Offensive When
the ReinfOrcements Arrive-France,s
Need of the Vatican's Friendship
Other Events of Interest in Foreign
Chimes.
PARIS. May 30.-No serious fighting is
expected to occur in TOnqnin before the
middle of July, when the French will be
ready to take the offensive. In this CITY
the most intense interest is manifested
IN the present situation, and the
warlike impetuosity of the people is
apparent on every hand. In the cafes and
on the bOulevards the one topic of CONVEX
sation is the warlike clouds which the
people picture as gathering on the horizon.
An inspiring evidence that the old time
enthusiasm of the French is not dead is
reported from the Faubourg St. Honore
Where knot of WOrkingmen in their blue
blouses stood drinking in the words
OF the fortunate pOSseSsOr of CODY
OF LIE .SOGE, who was reading a late
dispatch from the seat of war in
IOnquin, which stated that Gen. Bouet
intended to hold his position in the face
of any odds that the Chinese commanders
might hurl against him. 1.-The old guard
dies but never surrenders," shouted the
speaker, with patriotic flush of pride
lighting up his swarthy features. |1Vive
la France" answered back the crowd
in shout which rolled down the Fau-
bOurg until it lost itself in the drowning
hum of the Boulevard dies Caprecines. It
is but an incident, but it shows how little
it would take to fan the country's love of
glory into a dangerous fire should the
triple alliance or other inimcal demon
stration furnish the pretcXt for war.
ROME, May 30.-Le JOugndL de Rome,
commenting on the more friendly attitude
which France has shown recently to-
wards the Vatican, says that a rupture
between France and the Vatican would
deprive France, in the face of the triple
alliance, of a great source of strength.
She must choose between open war with
the Vatican and breaking with atheisticaI
Radicalism.

Cuba's Surplus of silver Do11ars

HAVANA, May 30.-The confusion aris-
ing from the depreciation of Mexican sill
yer dollars is we'll illustrated bv the fact
that at Caibarien wholesale merchants
receive it at its nominal value, retail mer-
chants for 80 cents and the railroad office
for 80 cents, while at Remedies some take
it for 80 cents and others for 50 cents.
At Camajuan it passes for eightv-five
cents only. The Mexican siver dollar was
originally imported as convenient
means of paying gpatrOcinadas or eX-slaves
the small wages prescribed for them by
law, but the coin began to be imported so
laVlshly that traders are now at loss
what to do with it.

Joseph Pulitzer, Esq:
MY DEAR SIR earnestly desire to
see you successful i'll your new enter
prise, and am confident that the energy.
enterprise and ability you have displayed
in the other fields of journalism will COM
mand success in this large field to which
you have extended your labOrs.
With us this is the off year; we have no
elections of any kind this fall, and there
is absolutely no political agitation in our
State, except such as arises from being
interested spectators of the political con-
fiicts in other States. | feel strong con-
victiOn that the political tides which set
in in favor of the Democratic party last
year Will continue until the party shall be
triumphantly successful at the next Presi-
Dental election.
The tariff issue connected with the gen.
eral subject of revenue reform will neces-
sarily be an important question in all
future political contests until it is settled
upon the doctrines of the Constitution
and the principle of sound political econ
Omy.
We may be some time reaching solu-
ton of the question, but as the public
mind comes to be enlightened it will not
be satisfied with any tariff that has not
for its leading purpose the raising of reve-
nue. for the government; nor with the de-
tails of any tariff law in which the duties
laid upon foreign merchandise shall be
above the revenue point.
With my best wishes for your success,
and also for the success Of the cause we
both so earnestly support, / am, truly
yours, j. +. MCDONALD
