Up In a Balloon.

People have been going up in bal looms for years, and stage represen- tations of almost everything has been attempted, yet no stage repre- sentation of a balloon ascension has been given that we are aware of. Two break-neck batiecomedians Moore and Beeson, have originated an act they style the Balloonatic' s; burlesque gymnastics feats are per formed high in the air on trapeeze bar suspended on a balloon, the act concluding with a parachute jump from the balloon from the extreme height of the stage. This act is said to be very funny and will be seen with the Al q. Field Mlnstrels and Pantomine of Aladdin at the Opera house on Friday November 3.

- THAT BEEF PROHIBITION.
Exchange of Views Between Runyan
 and Won Biebsrstein.

Exchange of Views Between Runyan
 and yon Biebsrstein.
 LONDON, Nov. 2.--A dispatch from Berlin says that the prohibition by Ger many of the importation of American cattle has led to lively exchange of views between the Hon. Theodore Run yan, American ambassador, and Von Beiberstein, German foreign minister.
 MT. Runyan characterized the order as severe, unjust and an unnecessary retail iation against the duties imposed by the United States on German beet sugar. These duties, he said, had been advised by President Cleveland, though con gress would be certain to continue them,
 Won Biebefstein, in reply, admitted the severity of the order. He said Ger many would not barter the soundness of her cattle for prospective lowering of the sugar duty. The incubation of Texas fever, he added, was six weeks. Therefore cattle leaving the United States in an apparently healthy condi- ton might afterwards be attacked and spread the infection.
 MT. Runyan disputed this claim on the ground that contagion is propagated by insects, which are noneustent in Europe. He also argued that dead meat could not contain the germs of Texas fever,

 WAsHlNGTos, Nov. 3 Secretary Nor ton has furnished the number of cattle exported to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland during each year since 1874, together with the value of the cattle in dollars each year. It shows that the United States sent into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland only 123 head of cattle iD 1874, while in 1894 up to the presen: date the United States has already fur nished Great Britain 45,733 head. The United States sent no fresh beef into England until 1877, when 2l0,990 pounds were sent, and returned to the cattlemen of this country in payment was $4,55s ,6sS.

THE lRON TRADE.
Little Change From the Condition of shs
 Industry Last Week.

Industry Last Week.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 2,-Tne Iron Age in its weekly review of trade says the week has been uneventful, relatively speaking, and has not in any pro- nounced way furnished indications to gauge the drift for the future.
 On the whole there is more hopeful feeling, due, possibly, rather to the ab- sence of bad news than to the occur renee of favorable events. Certainly the most interesting announcement of the week is that C. F. Huntington has bought for Pacific coast delivery block of 5000 tons of English steel rails at low price. This verifies the asser- tions repeatedly made by American makers that they are in danger of losing the Pacific coast market.
 A conference of some of the American steelmakers took place, as expected, in this city last Friday. It is understood that the situation was informally dis cussed, but that no action was taken.
 In billets there has been moderate demand, with prices lowering close to $15.50 at western works. Sales below that figure were recorded.
 Wire rods are weak and are obtainabIo at $25. 25 at western mills
 The pounding of prices goes on along nearly the whole line of manufactured iron and steel. Many decline to meet present prices.

GRESHAM PROTESTS.
Hopes to Have the German Beef Or
der Rescinded.

Washington, Oct. SO, Secretary
Gresham has made a very strong rep
resentation to the German government
of the injustice of the recent order pro
hbiting the importation of American
cattle and fresh meats into Germany.
He has protested that the action was
taken without sufficient evidence of the
existence of disease among the cattle
exported from the United States or Its
contagious character or harmful Of
fects.
The secretary and the German am
bassador were in conference ut the
state department on the subject and
the minister transmitted the protest to
his home government, promising that
1t should receive careful considerations
There Is some reason to hope that our
government may be able to secure n
suspension of the order for time al

A DYING DUCHESS.
She Is Celebrated in Connection with
the Race Track.

London, October 21.--The duchess of
Montrose is reported to be dying.
The death of the duchess of Mon
trose-the red duchess coming so close
upon that of Sir John Dugdale Ashley,
is worthy of note, as it means the re-
moval of two of the most picturesque
characters ever seen on Il race course.
"Jolly Sir John" and "Mr. Manton,"
as the duchess was known on the
turf, were well nigh for half cen
fury great cronicS. The exceeding
height of the one. the almost uniform
girth of the pair, the sympathetic col
oring of her vcrmilion hair, and his
rubcund cheeks made them the cyno-
Sures of the race courses from John
O'Groat's House to Lands End.
The duchess, though maintaining i'm
mense breeding and racing establish
mentS, was not fortunate enough to
own any one particularly good thor
oughbred. Though her name appeared
annually in the entries for the classic
races it was never accorded to her
to know the extreme happiness OF
owning a Derby, Oaks or st. Leger
winner. Neither were her grace's ven
lures on the matrimonial market much
more successful. The late duke of
Montrose was scarcely the first gentle
man in Europe from any single point
of view, and the duchess rough and
ready ways and horse play manners
were overlooked, on the ground that,
like Topsy, she had growed up, though
in her ladyships case, the growth
came after marriage. Less than a de-
cade ago-the duke having shuttied off
the mortal coil-her grace Of Montrose
decided that the care of sixty horses
was somewhat of burden for WON
an of an equal number of summers
and she cut the Gordian knot by Sc
curing manager for her stable and a
husband for herself by marrying
Henry Miner, who had Mt least the
recommendation of being considerably
less than one half of her grace's age
1t is said that the duchess proposed
to NJ. Miner by sending him a valen-
tine with this single line as the
motto, celestial rosy red, lovers
proper hue" Miner was equal to the
occasion, and marriage which star
tied the aristocratic circles of Britain
in an equal with that Of the Baroness
Burdett- Coutts and Ashmead Bartlett,
was consummated. In two matters,
however, there was lack of parallel
between the weddings, in the first in
stance, unlike the baroness, the Ouch
ess did not lose the queens favor, sim
ply because she had never had any,
and, secondly, the marriage of the
duchess and the commoner was not
success, whereas that of the baroness
and the Anglo-American is classed as
among one of those made in heaven.
