TO WORK to most advantage the iron ore

To WORK to most advantage the iron ore
of Pennsylvania, little of that from MIS-
souri, or Michigan, or from abroad, has to be
mixed with it. AS there is heavy duty on
foreign ore, the importation OF that Is prac-
tically prohibited. The Missouri and Mlchl-
gan nine owners have now reduced their
output so as to raise its price, and the scar
city of it prevents the Pennsylvania IRON
makers from working to the extent OF their
capacity. Aud yet members OF Congress
from Pennsylvania persist in their Oppose
tion TO the removal of the duty on foreign
ore, though, but for their opposition the ex.
listing tariff, the cause of the trouble alluded
to, would be reformed, and the iron manu-
facturers ofthe State be enabled to employ
full complement of hands. The most re-
markable thing about this whole business is
that the opposition referred to is not con-
fined to the republican congressman from
Pennsylvania, but also includes Mr.. Ran
dali and all the other democratic members
from his State

Correspondence in the Kelley Case.

From the correspondence submitted TO
the Senate yesterday in the case of Hon. A.
NJ. Kelley, appointed minister successfully
to Italy and Austria Hungary, it appears
that Mr.. Kelley himself advised the govern
ment that the views he had expressed in re-.
gard to certain acts of the Italian govern
ment made it eXpedient for him to resign
his commission as minister to Italy. He was
then appointed minister to ustria-Hunga.
ry, but was stopped on his way at Paris by
the refusal of the Austrian government to
receive him. That refusal was based ut first
upon the plea that Mr.. keiley's wife was a
Hebrew, the assertion being made by Count
Kalnoky, the Austrian premier, that "the
position of foreign envoy welded to a
Jewess by civil marriage would be untena-
BILE, and even impossible, in Vienna" This
objection, Mr.. Kelley Gays, 'disdaining
even the ailectation OF respect for mod
ern ideas of freedom, is repeated at every
step in the correspondence with per.
sistence which discloses either the pur-
pose Of deliberate and gross insult to
the American people, or d desire to
mask under false reason, avowed
though disreputabie, q true reason too dis
reputable to be avowed." The State De-
partment replied to the Austrian minister
denying the right of a foreign power to pre-
scribe religious test for an American Office,
whereupon Count Kalnoky changed his
ground, declaring that the objection to Dir.
Kelley was now based upon want Of polit-
ical tact evinced on his part on former
occasion, in consequence of which friendly
power declined to receive him, and upon
the certainty that his domestic relations
preclude that reception of him by Vienna
society which we Judge desirable for the
representative of the United States" To
this declaration, the Secretary of State
replied through the secretary of legation at
Vienna, Mr. ]. Fenner Lee, announcing
that by no act Of his nor with his consent
"can the government of the United States
be placed in an attitude of supplication for
favor or become petitioner for recognition
on terms prescribed by any foreign power"
This expression, he adds, meets the full
approval Of the President

THERE IS talk in some of the newspapers
about the uncertainty OF the political action
of Senator Van Wyck, Of Nebraska. There
is nothing ito" such talk. The Senator re-
ferred to may invariably be counted on as
voting with his own party, and that, too,
whether his convictions lie that way or not.
He occasionally, when inspired by sincere
convictions, blurts out his disapprobation of
some of the acts Of The republican party as in
the case of the South American commission,
and, that OF the land grants to certain Paci.
ic railroads, but when the time for voting
comes his convictions retire, and he is al
ways "Charley at the t-hole."

Courts of Justice to inquire and report what
is the effect of the election of a judge for a
corporation court where there is no vacancy
and where the term of the present incum-
bent does not terminate until January 1st,
1887. This point is raised in consequence of
the election of Judge of the Corporation
Court of Manchester prior to January 1st,
1886. The constitution provides that Judges
shall 60 into Office the 1st day of January
succeeding their election, and Judge French's
six years will not expire until January,
1887.

FROM WASHINGTON

Especial Correspondence Of the Ale1a. GAZETTE.
WASHINGTON, d. G., Dec. Is, 1885.
Senator Riddleberger, in talking to a
friend this u morning, said he had seen in the
newspapers, and heard talk about bar
gains for his seat in the Senate, but that
possession of seat in the Senate was worth
forty possible seats in that body, and that
he, thought such bargains would be more
effective two years hence, as many changes
might occur during that time. He also said
aluding to the instructions of the Virginia
democratic Legislature to the Virginia Con-
gressmen to vote for the Blair educational
bill, that it would be more appropriate to
instruct Mr.. j. II. Tucker to stop his oppo-
sition to that bill, than to instruct him,
Riddleberger, who had already voted for it,
to vote for it again.
A democratic member of the House from
one of the Southern States says the number
of applicants for Office under the new al
ministration and under Congress, though not
really greater than ever before, seems 80 to
!. the democratic congressman, as their in
huence for the former has never before been
so sought after.
Congressman Barbour, when asked this
morning what attitude he would assume at
this session towards the bill for free bridge
across the Potomac at or near Georgetown,
Sdlu uo "ouiu Hot oppose Sucn Dill, and
never had, and that his only object in the
matter was to preserve Alexandria, interest
in the aQueducs of the Alexandria canal.
That secured, he said, he would favor as
many free bridges as were proposed.
Tbeopponents of the civil service law in
the House, and there are great many of
them collectively, though few individually,
are exerting their combined influence upon
the Speaker to put men of their way of
thinking on the Judiciary committee, so
that bill, if not for the repeal of that law,
at least for radical notifications if it, may
be reported and passed.
Congressman Gibson, of West Virginia,
says there will not be prolonged debate on
the report Of the committee on rules, and
that vote on it will probably be reached
by Thursday evening. Same ten or fifteen
members, he thinks, will probably speak
upon it. himself among the number. and
that the debate, though short, is likely to
be spicy, and that during it Messrs. Randall
and Holman will probably receive some
hard knocks. He says the new rules will
be adopted, and that he looks upon them as
a second emancipation proclamation, the
bene6ciaries being the members of Congress
and their constituents. He says one of the
reasons for the strong opposition 10 the
old rules was the action of the appropria-
lions committee of the last Congress, owing
