READING, Pa, March 5,-Announce'
ment Is made here this afternoon Of the
failure Of the Reading Iron Works,
which operate in this city blast furnaces,
rolling, sheet, tube and pipe mills,
torges and machine shops, employing In
all over $500 hands, The firm has given
notice OF thesuspension OF It's payments,
and called meeting Of its creditors, to
be held at the Philadelphia office OF the
company next Thursday afternoon. II
Is one Of the largest establishments OF
its kind In America, The cause OF the
failure is the stringent condition OF the
iron trade.
A director Of the company said this
afternoon that, at the meeting to be held
on Thursday, shareholders will be asked
to take stock or bonds in exchange for
their claims, He added that unless this
was done, the company would DO forced
TO liquidate, and the creditors would
then get very little, The company has
Issued $3.50, 900 flst mortgage and $780,
600 second mortgage bonds, In addition
to this there Is $500,000 Of preferred
stock and $4,000 OF common. The
floating debt Is said 10 be heavy. 1t was
stated this afternoon by a bank presi-
dent that the company has sold a large
amount OF paper within the last six
months, and that some OF the Philadel.
phia banks are heavy creditors,

BERLIN, March 5.-Excepting the Tag
blaa and the Io@tSche Zcitung, the papers
here rcservetheir opinions on President
Harrison's inaugural address. Tho Ing
biaI says that the address shows an arro-
giant spirit, aud that it docs not display
particularly friendly feelings toward
other powers. The HoSsische Zeiiung
says: "Friends OF America hoped for a
more friendly disposition from Harrison
than from Cleveland. The message
hardly strengthens that hope; referring
to American claims and interests as II
necessarily supreme-a view other M
tions will not be inclined To recognize" !"
These criticisms arise from ill.iniorm-
ed expectation that the message would
contain some deliveranGe on the Samoan
dispute which would indicate the inten.
ton oil the new government TO Sreverse
the Bayard policy in direction that
would meet Germany's desires. More

the utterance OF an honest, honorable

to do his duty TO the people over whom
he has been called to preside. The tone
throughout the message Is high and
there seems 10 be tho ring OF sincerity In
