Annual Depression in Manufacturing Cir
cles Arrives.


cles Arrives.
PITTSBURG, juno 29.-The annual de-
preston in manufacturing circles has ar
rived. At McKeesport, with the exception
of two mills in the butt weld department,
the entire plant of the National Tube
Works company, the National rolling mills
and the w. Devices Wood iron and steel
mills are shut down and $4,000 men are
temporarily out of employment. The tube
works will resume operations next week,
but the rolling mills and the Wood plants
will be closed for six or seven weeks.
The Braddock wire works, the largest
of the plants of the Consolidated Steel
and Wire company, followed the ruling of
the wire nail trust and shut down. Both
of the Braddock wire mills are now shut
down, also the Beaver Falls mill. The
suspension at the mills, which closed
Sunday, effects 800 men, who will be idle
until August Tuesday the yearly scale
of the Amalgamated association expires
and general shutdown will follow if
decision is not reached by that time. This
will throw $4,000 men out of employment
in the tinplate mills and twice as many
more in other departments.

come completely petrified. 1t had the

Hon. E. ]. Phelps ON Arbitration.

OF the living Americans who have seen
distinguished service in diplomacy the most
conspicuous is the Honorable +. j. Phelps,
formerly our minister to England and one of
our foremost authorities on international
law. Out of his experience Mr.. Phelps has
written for the July number of the Atlantic
Monthly an article on Arbitration especially
with reference to our relations with Great
Britain. He points out how the movement
for arbitration is most excellent humani-
tartan effort productive of good in general
way, but movement, nevertheless, that
has very serious limitations; for arbitration
can, after all, be applied to only few kinds
of international difficulties. The great
agency that must prevent international diff
fereDces and difficulties is, after all, wise
diplomacy, and Mr. Phelps writes out of
his own experience in most suggestive way
concerning the real functions of the modern
diplomat.

GENERAL HARRISON ON OUR FL
NANCES.
Wisest and Strongest Craftsmanship Re

Wisest and Strongest Craftsmanship Re
CURED to Mend Existing Conditions.
Ex-President Harrison will discuss our
national finances in an article on "The Sec.
rotary of the Treasury" which will appear
In the August issue OF The Ladies' Home
Journal. He will tell briefly of the origin
of our financial s. stem; its expansion or de-
velopment; how the nation raises its reye-
nues. and disburses its moneys; and detail
the faults of our system of dnanciering.
Referring to the methods lie cessary TO main
tain our gold reserve General Harrison ex-
presses himself with evident dsspproval,
and says that 1.-The present situation would
be absurd If it were not SO serious" The
increase or the dimnution of the gold re-
serve, the ex-president asserts, powerfully
affects every interest, and the intending of
existing conditions will be a task for the
wisest and strongest craftsmanship"
The eX-presldent clearly intimates that
successful fnsnceriDg is extremely difficult
by the present methods. Upon this point
he says: If fifty dollars would suffice to
hold $4,000, 900 in the treasury the secre-
tary could not expend that small sum. He
must stand by until the gold is gone, and
then sell bonds to get it back. The result
is that the banks and the brokers are often
able to make play of the treasury. A fnan-
cial Institution, whose board transacts its
business in public, is a disadvantage"
