SOME ARE SIGNING THE SCALE
The Iron Strike

PITTsBURG, June 30.-Both the iron
masters and their men presented firm
front this morning, and each side said
that when the day turns went off this
evening all the mills in the west but
twelve operated by non-union men
would close down for an indefinite
period. A dispatch from Youngstown,
O., states that the mills in Mahoning
Valley are preparing for a protracted
suspension. Notwithstanding the
discouraging reports which have been
received by the mill men, they
do not seem to be worried. Almost all
spoken to believe the suspension will
not continue longer than two or three
weeks. A shut down is always neces
sary at this time of year, for stock
taking, etc. Manufacturers have used
the same arguments for years, and
always opposed the Amalgamates
Association as vigorously as at present.
Since the strike of 1882, the scale has
been signed in conference with but one
exception, and that was in 1885, when
a strike was declared. One by one
the firms signed the scale that year, and
and the strike was over and the mills
were in operation within a month.
On the other hand manufacturers assert
that their mills are in good order, and
that they could run all summer, but
that they will not pay more than S.
ton for pudding. The manufacturers
say they expect few to sign the scale,
but say that they will be small concerns
and that their signing will not affect the
situation. At noon the Amalgamated
associations received information of the
yielding of the Apollo Iron & Steel
Company, of Apollo, Pennsylvania.
This makes three firms that have signed
so far. the other two being the Akron
Iron Company, of Akron, Ohio, and
Laughlin & Junction Steel Company,
at Mingo, Ohio. The three mills en-
ploy about ]. 400 men.
Late this afternoon word was received
at the Amalgamated Association head
quarters that the Cleveland Hardware
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, had
signed the scale.

General Sheridan.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-General Sher-
idan was removed from his house to the
SwdtGra about II o'clock this morning.
The Swatara sailed at lis p. m. Gen.
eral Sheridan was safely aboard about
noon. His transfer from home to the
vessel occupied an hour. 1t was &C
complished without the slightest OBJ
stacle or delay. The general rested well
last night. He bore the removal ex-
cellently and when the vessel moved
away was in at least as good condition
as before leaving home.
A small crowd had gathered in front
OF the house to catch glimpse of the
sick man, when the Red Cross ambu-
lance drove up at the door. A few
minutes later General Sheridan was
placed on low cot, with handles on
either side, like stretcher, and brought
down stairs, from his bedroom, in the
second story, by five of his orderlies,
and placed in the ambulance. Doctors
O'Reilly and Matthews, and his
brother, Colonel Sheridan, entered the
ambulance and accompanied him to
the We ssel. Mrs. Sheridan. with Colonel
Kellogg, Mrs. Lydecker and the two
nurses entered carriages and followed

in thu ambulance on a cot, feet fore
most. On the way down, the general
convsrsed freely with his attendants.
He frequently asked the condition of
the weather and the prospects of it's
changing; how far it was to the navy
yard, and how soon they would leave
after arriving there. He appeared to
be cheerful, and did not seem fatigued
from the ride. When the ambulance
arrived at the dock, six sailors lifted the
cot out of the ambulance and carried
it over the starboord side of the vessel.
The general was then carried into the
captains cabin, which is situated on
the spar deck, and put in his swinging
cot. At l o'clock Captain MCGOWAN
took the bridge, and gave the necessary
orders for getting under way, and at
lis O'Clock. as the tide was at its
highest point, the haWsers were cast
loose and the ship swung out of her
dock amid waving of hats, from the
captain and Doctors O'Reilly and Mat
thews who stood on the deck. The ship
was assisted out into the Potomac by
the yard tug Rescue, when she was cast
loose and proceeded slowly down the
river On her way to Nonquitt.

WIsconsIn's Monuments.

GETTYSBURG, June 80. - Wisconsin
dedicated her seven monuments to-day
on Gettysburg battlefield. The exer-
cises were held at Reynolds Grove, and
few feet of where that general was
killed during the first days engage
ment. When Captain Levi Long, pres
ldent OF the commission, called the
meeting to order and transferred the
monuments to a representative of the
governor of Wisconsin, the level space
before the stand was crowded with vet
Grams OF Wisconsin regiments. Cover
nor Rusk was not present, and the State
treasurer, Colonel 81. B. Horsham &C.
cepted the monuments on be half of the
State. United States Senator Spooner
then delivered an eloquent Grafton.
The monuments were formally
presented to the Gettysburg Battlefield
Memorial Association by General
Lucius Fairchild. General Fairchild
spoke with great feeling, and many of
the veterans were moved to tears.
Governor Beaver, ex-oficio president
of the Memorial Association, received
the memorials in the name of the asso-
citation, promising to guard and pro-
tect them. This closed the formal dedi-
catory exercises, but a number of
speeches were afterwards made by
prominent Wisconsin men. The seven
Wisconsin monuments are splendid
structures, and are those of the Third,
Fifth, Second, Seventh, Sixth. Twenty.
sixth, and Company G, First Regiment,
Sharpshooters. General Longstreet, of
the Confederate army, was in attend
ance at the Wisconsin dedication this
morning, and Colonel Rerdan, of the
famous sharpshooters, was also pres
ent. The weather was splendid.

The Coffee Corner

New YORK, June 3O.-The representa-
tives of the bull clique of the coffee ex-
change said this morning that severa
of the shorts in Java coffee settled yes
terday. Three firms, however, refused
to settle and declared they would only
pay the intrinsic value of coffee, but the
clique was resolved that they should
pay the same price as other shorts, anG
If they did not Settle before noon to-day
their names WOULD be posted on the
exchange as failing to carry out theil
contracts.
Before settling time all of the shorts
had settled in one way or another and
no names we're posted. 1t is not thought
that the profits of the bulling clique
were large, as the short interest was but
small. The market closed easier.

TAXES MUST BE REDUCED.

The necessity of reducing taxation

ton of this circulating medium is so
apparent that no party dares to deny
it; but when we come to consider the
modes by which reduction may be
lnade, we find wide antagonism be-

leaders of our political opponents.
We seek to reduce taxes upon the nee
essaries Of life, our opponents seek to
increase them. We say give to the
masses of the people cheap and good
clothing, cheap blankets, cheap tools
and cheap lumber. The Republicans
by their platform and their leaders il

increase taxes on clothing and blanket:
and thereby increase their cost, main
