There is some opposition to the revenue bill

OUTLOOK FOR IRON.
A General Feeling That Change for the
Better is Beginning-Reports From
Several of the Pennsylvania
CenIers Are Hopeful


Several of the Pennsylvania
Ceniers Are Hopeful.
PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-THE follow
ing dispatches regarding the present de-
preston of the iron trade have been received
here:
Reading-The feeling among the iron men
here is of unusual hopefulness While the
general voice is to the effect that the trade is
unusually dull and stagnant, there are none
who think that this condition will last, and all
predict a revival with fair spring and sum-
mer trade. The present depression is usually
attributed to lack of confidence, which, how
ever, is regarded as causeless, and will, in the
manufacturers opinion, soon pass away, to be
followed by replenishing of the present de-
pleJed stocks. There is general faith in the
present condition OF the country. and no fear
anywhere OF anything in the nature of panic
or long-continued stagnation of business.
1ork-john W. Steacy, speaking for the
York Rolling Mill, the Columbia Rolling Mill,
Columbia, and the Aurora Furnace at WTights-
vile, SAYS: "The prospects for the future are
good. The spring weather opening will give
good market in the coal and oil regions for the
class OF goods the rolling mills manufacture.
FOR the furnace pig iron product the prospect
is good, because the stock of iron at the fur
naces is comparatively small. The large stock
OF southern pig that was unloaded at the sea-
board and in other points in the East last fall
is nearly all gone The Pennsylvania pig al
ways holds its place, and there will be boom
soon, as it has touched rock bottom"
Lancaster-The Penn Iron Works. of this
city, manufactures bar iron and railroad sup
plies. MIR. VIM. B. Middleton, manager of the
works, said it had been exceedingly dull during
the winter. Instead of employing 800 men as
they ought to do, and have done, and working
them day and night turn, they are now only
running $50 men on day turn There is no
activity at present, nor IS their any indication
of its coming. Dr. All. Peacock, one of the pro-
prietors of Peacock Thomas Furnace. said:
During last September and October there was
some activity, but the iron trade has been very
dull all winter. Within the past week or two it
has been looking up, and prices are now ad-
vancing slightly. There is an increasing de-
mand Just now not only in the East and West,
but in the South. 1 think the outlook is more
encouraging at the present than it has been for
some time"

Special Telegram to The Dispatch.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Greek drama
had a good illustration at the Lyceum Theater
this afternoon. Sophocles Electra" was the
play. The performers were pupils of the
American Academy of Dramatic Arts. They
spoke a condensed English translation, and the
manner of the representation was IN a free and
unslavish imitation of the Greek methods.
The performance was pleasant qualification
of curiosity. 1t was easy to laugh irreverently
at the chorus-to let their posturings suggest
the love-sick maidens i'll Patience" and their
woeful outcres recall the wail1ngs of the wake
scene in 1.-THE Shaughraun"-but they made
the sightlIest pictures, and their training of
the difficult exhibition had left no trace of
indecision or aw1wardness Franklin H Sar-
gent and Henry c. Demille the directors of
the school, and David Belasco, who had super
intended the stage, were fully complimented
by the calls. They had done their work
worthily and with an excellent result

THE BEAVER FALLS DAM.
II Will be Rebuilt, and Work is to Com
meuce at Once,

BEAVER FALLS, March ll.-Preparations are
now being made to rebuild the dam across the
Beaver river north of town. When this dam
was in existence, some years ago, it was used
for the purpose of creating a slack water for
the Erie canal and gave good boating stage
of water to Rock Point, seven miles north of
this place. When the canal was abandoned it
was allowed to get out of repair, and some
years ago, during high water, it was swept
away.
The rebuilding of it will give Beaver Falls
one of the finest water powers in the country,
and will also create body of water seven miles
in length that can be used for pleasure boats to
and from Rock Point, Homewood and other
points north. Work will be commenced as soon
as the weather permits.
