NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-R. q. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review of trade,
say: The past broken week has not
been one of great activity, and the year
opens with some reaction in most OF
the markets. The Reading strike has
become more serious than expected.
The miners committee claims there
are 10000 miners and 49,
600 railroad men out, and
though the statement is plainly
exaggerated as to railway hands, sus-
pension of mining appears nearly COM
plete in Reading, as in Lehigh regions.

stoppage of supplies of coal threatens

have been weaker, though corn is still

An increased demand for good bonds
appears, but the share market has
been weakened by western war rates,
which spread and grow more bitter by
the strike of coal miners. The year

cordial character to President Cleveland,
thanking him for the present OF COPY OF
the constitution OF the United Sta ties, sent
by Mr.. Cleveland to the pontiff on the oc.
casion OF the latters sacerd otal Jubilee

exceedingly pleasant. The surprise came
when the cardinal informed the President
that it was his distinguished honor to con-
yey to him a letter from Pope Leo which
contained the high estimate the head os

for the President. In it the Pope speaks of
the great distinction OF receiving from the
ruler OF a free people q gift which he had
never expected to be sent him, and expresses
his appreciation OF the appropriateness OF
the volume a present. In conclusion
the pope renews the assurances of his
thanks to Mr.. Cleveland wishes him peace
and prosperity and prays for the Ameri-
can people and their country. the perpetu-
atty OF their institutions OF liberty. and
the plenltude OF Gods favor.

Dependent Pension Bill,

bill known as the dependent pension bill.
Some verbal amendments were m ade to the
first section relating to the claims OF de-
pendent parents, but none Of them mate

substitute was adopted for the second
ton OF the bill. The su bstitute pro
vides a. pension for all persons who

pension Tor all persons who are SO years

pensioned for their services equally with.

according to their per diem idea. The
amendments were adopted by strict

Fear the Red Man.

The citizens OF Lake county, Montana,

A mass meeting was held, and COMMITTEES
OF five chosen to draw up and circulate a
petition to the secretary OF war, asking
that troops be sent to the Ashley valley
to aid the settlers in repeling any attempt
OF the Indians to lay waste or retard
development. The Indians most dreaded
are the Kootenais at Tobacco Plains. Ii
they make war they will find allies in
the Blackfeet and other tribes. It
was only through the cool heads of a few
old timers that the Kootenais were not
cleaned out on or about March 10. If In
