To Shut Down.

MILWAUKEE. Wis, June 30.-Francis
Hinton, manager OF the North Chicago
rolling mills, at Bay View, says that the
works will shut down tonight and remain
closed until the disputes are settled. The
mills generally employ about l 300 men, but
nearly 400 have been idle for some time.
PITTsBURG, June 30-There is no change
Ia the iron situation this morning, Both
sides present Arm front and when the day
turns 90 of this evening all the mills in the
West but twelve, operated by non union
men, will close down for an indefinite pc
Rod. A dispatch from Youngstown, Ohio,
reports the mills in the Mahoning Valley
preparing for protracted suspension. Not
wlthstanding the discouragng reports re-
ceived by the mill men, they do not seem to
be worried. Almost all who were spoken
to believe that the suspension will not con-
tlnue longer than two or three weeks. A
shutdown is always necessary at this time
of the year for repairs and stock taking.

NOTWITHSTANDING Col. 1ngersoii's mis-
lake at Chicago, the republicans still have
great faith in the effectiveness OF that oia-
tant infidel, and had him as one of their lead
ing speakers at their grand ratification
meeting in New York last night. He: too,
it seems, thinks is one more possible
victory under the bloody shirt, for the most
CT his speech was upon his own text
"Wten every man in the country was
bloodhound, pledged to aid in catching hu-

Presidential election should ever enter the
head of Virginia democrat, all that will
be required to dispel it will be for him to
