The Nation, He Says, Is Higher Than
the House of Lords.
LONDON, March 1.-Mr. Gladstone enter
ed the house Of commons at $3.50 p. m. to-
day and was loudly cheered.
The premier took his accustomed seat be-
tween Sir VIM. Vernon Harcourt. chancel-
lor of the exchequer. and Mr.. John Morley,
chief secretary for Ireland.
So soon as Mr.. Gladstone was able to do
so he entered into a whispered consultation
with Sir VIM. Harcourt and seemed to be
very much in earnest in regard to the sub
ject Of their conversation. Mr.. Gladstone
frequently consulted a small document
which was handed to him by the chancellor
Of the exchequer. The premier adjusted his
pince-Dez and seemed to read the paper
handed to him without any difficulty.
In the meantime, Lord Rosebery. the
secretary of state for foreign affairs. took
front seat In the peers gallery.
The entrance Of Lord Rosebery attract
ed much attention and caused considerable
comment.
After the questions had been disposed of
the speaker, the Right Hon. Arthur Well
esly Peel. put the question that the house
Of lords amendments to the local govern
ment bill be considered.
Mr.. Gladstone then arose and addressed
the house, speaking in full. resonant voice.

laughter)
When Mr.. Gladstone was again about to
resume speaking he said: ITO continue
the process would be loss Of dignity to
both houses and the government has de-
cided to stop the operation and take de-
cided course"
Mr.. Gladstone then reviewed the action
of the house of lords in the past and said ::

"In regard to the present bill, the gov

THE IRON TRADE.
How Recent Big Sales of the Ore Are
Regarded.

Regarded.
CLEVELAND. Ohio. March 1.-The Iron
Trade Review this week says:
The feature of the week in iron was the
purchase of large blocks of Bessemer ore
by the Carnegie Steel Company and other
buyers. making the total thus far bought
for 1894 delivery something less than 2,OOO.-
900 tons Prices are on the basis establish
ed by the recent Norris sales, discouraging
to the seller and giving little satisfaction
to the buyer. since s.. 80 for Gogebic Besse-
mers and prices proport'onately low for
Nermiliion ores mean that Bessemer pig and
the whole line of steel products are to be
on free trade basis for months to come.
and that 1abor's hardships are to be pro-
lonSed. with no immediate promise of better
things.
Viewed from another standpoint these
large sales for the primary material have
an aspect less discouraging. The basis of
cost having thus been fixed for furnace
men they may in turn be able to stimulate
more generous buying for future needs
among their customers. Outside the ore
market the week has developed few
changes.
