liar evidences of superiority Of exhibits at
the Antwerp exposition, which has just
closed. have already been delivered. and the
same Is true of the awards made at the
exposition at Lyons during the present
year. The delay in the matter of the de-
livery Of the worlds fair medals is at
tributable, in a measure, to the rejection Of
the st. Gaudens design on the score Of
national modesty, and much valuable time

MR.. CLEVELAND SAYS NO.
He VIII Not Take Any Personal Part
I'm the New York Fight.


Wash. Correspondence New York Herald.
There have been important political de-
velopments in Washington within the last
day or two.
Chief Of these has been a general order
from President Cleveland directing the Lead
ing government officials to cancel their
campaign engageme nts and to remain wholly
cut Of the political contest until further
orders.
Another positive statement is made that
the President will not write any letter in
the New York campaign. Both develop
ments are recent and Numerically opposed
TO last weeks situation.
The long list of campaign appointments
for the administration officials published
In the Herald was obtained directly from
the men most Interested. Up to that time
every administration utterance in public or
private, had been of enthusiastic PARTISAN
ship, and indicated active campaign efforts
The publication of the list and the fore
showing of extensive administration cam
paigning which it made may have called
the situation TO the mind of the President
and reminded him Of the similar situation
during his first administration when he
refused to allow his officials to do active
campaign work.

nual report Of Gov. L. c. Hughes to the

social advancement of the people and the
absence of distress prevalent in other Sec
TONS 1t shows that the two previous years
of drouth resulted in a loss of so per cent
Of range cattle in the territory, but was fol-
lowed later by a general recuperation Of the
stock industry.
The closing Of the silver mines caused
by the low price Of silver resulted in in
CT eased gold production and development

the governor, that Arizona will become q
larger gold producer than any other terri
tory or state: The gold output was $2.OSO.-
$50: silver. 81. 100 sOO. and copper, As. 500
pounds.
Governor Hughes stamps the proposed
withdrawal Of troops from Arizona as un-
wise suggests encouraging younger In
dams to take allotted land in severalty
and says no greater or more fatal mistake
could be made by the government than to
return Geronimo and Chiricahua Apaches
to Arizona, where their presence would be
fraught with great danger.
The statehood question Is discussed at
length. and admission of the territory to
statehood through an enabling act is sug-
gested.

STRIKE OF CLOAK MAKERS.
Nearly Ten Thousand Men and WO-
men Quit Work.

NEW YORK, October "a general strike
of the cloak makers of this city, numbering
nearly 10000 men and women, was begun
today. About 1900 finishers and operators
will be forced out of work within day or
two by the strike. They will only work
long enough to finish up the work that the
cloak makers left in the shops. The strike
committee has agreed that no settlement
shall be made with the manufacturers until
the latter have signed bonds, giving real
estate security. for their good faith. 1t was
further agreed that no union man shall
commence work until all Of the manufac-
turers had come to terms.
There was considerable opposition to this
movement. its principal antagonist being
JOS. Barondess, who holds that under this
rule one obstinate manufacturer can keep
10000 men out of work forever The So
clailstic element, however, wanted a general
strike and they held d majority.
The object of the strike is to abolish the
present systm of piece work and substi-
tdte the adoption of a time scale. The gen.
eral demand Is for SIS weekly wages and a
nine-hOur work day.
