Pittsburgh Iron and Steel WORKERS Un-

clOses-U Uncertainty ut Oliver BrotheFs'
PITrsBURaH, Pa, July 2s,-The Besse-
mer steel department Of Jones & Nc
Laughlin's plant CLOSED down to-day,
throwing 800 men out OF employment.
The men fear q long suspension and the
members OF the firm refuse to be inter-
viewed. 1t 10 generally understood
that the department was cloSed on &c.
count OF a lack OF orders. 1t is asserted
that the firm has been refusing west
ern orders on account OF the financial
scare and it shut down rather than take
risks.
A condition OF uncertainty exists at
the works OF the Oliver Iron and Steel
Company, and the thousands OF en-
ployes are apprehenaive of protracted
shut down. All sorts Of rumors were
aaoat to-day. 1t was said that the firm
was going to run non.union; that q
fence was being built around the South
Fifteenth street mill, and that the ma
chinery in the various mills was being
white.leaded, that being the usual way
machinery was made proof against rust
during long shut down. David Oliver
was seen this afternoon and said that
the open and exposed partsot tho plant
were being temporarily closed until the
mills arc ready to operate. He posi-
lively refused to say anything about q
resumption with non.union men or the
withdrawing of the machinery.
The idle men at the Sligo mill, South
Side, are much worried over the con-
stant stream of colored men calling at
the mill Office. They fear the mill is to
be operated non.union. II has been
closed since July l, when the scale ran
out, and the firm has since failed to
sign tho scale. Nearly every day this
week number OF colored men have
called at the mill Office and during tho
past forty-eight hours they have been
coming in squads. The idle mill work.
ers congregate on the street, but in no
way molest the colored men. Nothing
can be learned at the Office Of the firms
intentions.

New YoRK, July est was said to-
day that the higher prices for American
stocks in London confirmed the news
published yesterday that New York
capitalists had combined with other In
terests to buy stocks here and carry
them abroad. A broker said' "The
sense Of such an operation is its best
explanation. Everybody admits stocks
to be cheap here while in London there
Ia plethora OF money. 1t is therefore
simple enough to buy stocks here and
carry them abroad. The market has
turned. London is ready to carry all
the stocks that we want to send over
there. With stocks going out and gold
coming In there is very little doubt as
TO the main movement OF prices"
In connection with this statement 1t
was said that q conservative estimate OF
stocks 10 be shipped to Europe to-mor'
row was between fifty and sixty thou
sand.
largely conferred In the reports of gold
importations. According to we'll in
formed bank officers aome very errone-
GUS reports have been published con-
cernng them. One Of these bank pres
idonts, leading member Of the clear
ing house committee, said TO O reporter
that tho talk OF bank syndicate hav-
ing been formed to import gold, or that
that tho clearing house had arranged to
assist certain banks to do 80, etc., was
not only untrue but absolute nonsense.
III any ono will study the rates OF ex-
change" he continued, "he will see for
himself that they warrant movement
OF gold this way. Now, anything that
is being done by any bank or banks to
facilitate that legitimate and proper
movement is simply aud solely an indi-
vidual matter between the bank and its
customers who import the gold"
The clearing house committee met
to-day and after the session 1t was
learned that an additional issue OF ST.
5OO,0OO loan certificates had been
authorized. 1t was authoritatively
stated that tho issue Of certificates was
directly connected with importations of
gold. Tho same statement was made
with regard to the certificates issued
Yesterday. A member Of the clearing
house committee when asked the cause
OF the issue of certificates yesterday
and to-day explained that there were
large matIrities at this time and the
banks were preparing to renew those
which could not be negotiated In the
open market. The "bears" said this
member OF the committee, might possi-
bly, use the issue Of certificates as an
argument in favor OF their pessimistic
views, but in reality 1t was good bull
argument, as it was evidence OF the
liberal spirit OF tho banks and their do
termination to take caro- OF their GUS
toners in the present financial crisis.
The sub.treasury was debtor at the
closing clearing house this morning
$4,000. and about $400,0 900 of that sum
was paid In gold.

arrive during the day and called for
very large amounts, Ono bank presi-
dent estimated the amount to be s., 900, :

GENERAL sT. oIAIR'AAREs A COURT PLAs-
TER MOSAIC OF HINsELF.
Chicago Herald,

The Chicago Tribune has the follow
ing: No sympathy is expressed many
quarterior Mr.. ]. W. ST. Clair, of.the
couucilLof administration, on account
'ottho welbdeserved beatine&hRt heEe-
ceived at tho, hands .of one of the
Worlds sFairsgatekeepers. " It appears
that General" ST. Clair, mot having q
pass or any sign Of authority with him,
attempted TO force his way through the
gate. His passage was opposed.
He then engaged in a violent quarrel
with the gatekeepers and at last
struck one Of them. The latter struck
back, as any person OF spirit would do;
he was assisted by another keeper and
they thrashed st. Clair Boundly. The
General" appealed to his associates in
the council Of administration and had
the gatekeepers discharged. Itis hard
to say in whatparticulars ST, Clair shows
to the worst advantage. He was wrong
from beginning to end, in trying to
force his way through 4the gate, in
yassaulting thei keepers, and in ask
ing for their discharge. The keep
;ers, instead ofbeing discharged, should
.have had vote OF thanks, aud ST, Clair
should be censured. Theleast St. Clair
can do when he cools down Is TO aakdor
the unconditional reinstatement of the
gatekeepers whom he caused to lose
their placea II he does this he will
show that he has some manhood and
chivalry in his composition and will go
far toward atoning for thewrongShe
has done.

ture never would degenerate to blowS.
We cannot longer tlatter ourselves
thus. Wo must in the future renounce
the privilege Of observing from PIN

The Daily NewS says: "When the
public learn how the disturbance arose
there will be a universal feeling Of in-
dignation and regret that the most
ilustrious statesman Of the age was ex>
posed to such insults aa those
flung by Mr.. Chamberlain.
