NO New Features in the Iron Loci
- nv telegraph to The Dispatch.l

90 by telegraph % the Dispalch.l
PITTSBURGH. July 3.-The iron lockout
presented no new features to-day. No more
signatures were obtained by the Amalesmated
people TO their scale up 10 noon and there
were no indications Of either side giving In.
Manufacturers said that before they decided
10 resist The workmen'S scale they calculated
that certain firms would sign the scale, aud
they look for at least two more mills TO re-
sumo before the end Of the week. The sign.
Ing Of the scale by these few firms, they
claim, however, will have no effect 10 tue
Western Association, who are determined 10
resist The scale.
Morehead & Mclean paid oil their men to-
day and closed down indefinitely. In speak
! ing Of the lockout to-day Max Morehead
SAID .'There are some firms who cannot
afford 10 remain idle. We can, and unless
the men give in we shall not start before
November. In the present condition OF the
market il is doubtful whether We shall re-
sumo before September under any circum-
stances.
The wOrkmen appear 10 be well satisfied
with the result, aud confidently assert that
the lockout will not last very lcug. The
thirteen firms that have signed The scale ope-
rate sixteen mills and employ aboat twelve
thousand men.
A Youngstown fOhlo) dlspstch says th7.
there Is no change in the situation there.
All Of IT, outgoing trains are crowded with
iron. workers aud their families going 70 visit
friends. The manufacturers show no dispO-
sti3n TO sign the scale.

Making the Grand Tour sevenfy-five
Years Ago.

fCornhilll
Provided with passport, carriage, and
outfit, the traveller, accompanied by his
body -servant, and possibly by a courier
but the courier is not recommended
posted to Dover. There was at that time
a boat TO Calais four times a week, though
English letters were delivered in Paris
only twice a week. If Calais did not
suit him there was boat to Ostend once
week. finally, he might, if it so
pleased him, hire cutter TO Calais
Tor eight guinness. The fare to Calais for
a passenger alone WAS then half gui-
nea, and to Ostend a sovereign. In
every case, however, the passengers were
expected to present the mariners with a
gratuity. The gratuity is described as
"trifing," but it was probably as much
as fare. In fact "trihing seemed as
inseparable from "gratuity rs " little
is from "biu." But the great business
and no wonder-was with the carriage.
1t was eagerly waited for and rapacious-
ly bounced upon mt Calais. 1t had, first
of all to be valued and we may be sure
that in the valuation every regard was
shown to the owners feelings, If not
to his purse. When it had been thus
generously valued, third of the amount
had to be deposited with the custom
house officials. Such carriage might
easily have been estimated at E3OO. The
traveller would then have had to hand
over Goo as kind OF entrance fee on
making his appearance on French soil.
1t is true the money was only "depos-
tied, but money once deposited is apt,
like fallen seed, to take root Under no
circumstances could this sum ever be
recovered intact. II the traveller re-
turned within the year he was en-
titled to recover two thirds OF it.
But if he honOred France with
his presence for three years he lost
the whole OF it. This was the
"ransou Of property" in those days,
and certainly magnificent example of
direct taxation. After this there must
have seemed something tame and paltry
in the duty which had still to be paid OF
POI. on each carriage and the clearance
fees Of 40f, which, being paid generally
through hOtel-sorvant, involved ga
trifing gratuity" of l0f in addition to
that individual. Surprising the traveller
not TO have brought his own carriage,
be might hire one at Calais TO take him
TO Paris for papoleons; this carriage
would remain at his service for 6fteen
days. Or, if he preferred to go by dill
gence, he might of course do so. In
this case the expense from London to
Paris was about e5 but the traveller
was limited to fourteen pounds in the
way of luggage.
