of labor have been in numerous cases du-

more broadly every week for larger puy-

The iron industry waits, because the
possible production for the year has pech
practically ordered. while neither buyers
nor sellers regard contracts at curr s,,t
prices for next years business as quite
safe. Bessemer pig is shade weaker'

burg. The demand for bars Is the pest
for a long time, and contracts LOT tne
buildings and railway bridges are sun
pending. The coke output has risen, ana
il the largest known for years. Anthra-
cite coal is sold at &l5 in New lorh
harbor. or 20 cents below the circular,
and conservative estimates make tne
years output 100000 tons. The only
noteworthy feature in the minor metals

4 CZAR-RULED HOUSE.

The Sneaker of the House is the great
est autocrat in America under the rules,
and if he happens to possess Reeds tenn
sacrament he can give the Car of Rus
sxia uoints. To show the great power
which he exercises we quote from MI.
VIM. II. Curtiss letter in the Chicago
Record:
aThe discipline of the Republican ma
iority of the House of Representatives
and the autocratic power of the Speaker
were never exhibited SO thoroughly as
now. when the great foot of the car Is
placed upon the resolutions recognizing
the belligerency of the Cuban insurgents.
There is no doubt that 80 per cent OF the
representatives on both sides of the hall
would vote for those resolutions If they
had a chance to do so, not because they
have any particular interest in the sue
cess of the revolution, but because the
sentiment Of the country has been SO
aroused in behalf of Cuban liberty that 1t
- good politics to. do 50. The mail OF
nearly everyAC Congressman daily contains
letters from good people and influential
poIiticians in his district begging him in
the name Of humanity to do something or

thing in. behalf of the oppressed Cubans
and the patriots who are fighting for their
liberty. SI'his7 isa particularly struc Of the
women 9f the country. The business sele-
ment, tire bankers, the merchants. the
manufacturers are frightened for fear we
will have war, but. those who have no
particular interests at stake have gone
crazy over the Cuban problem, and are
upplauding every word that j. said In
behalf OF the Insurgents and denouncing
every word that is said, against them.
regardless of the results. No one feels
this sentiment so much as the members
Of the House of Representatives, and
their political future is largely involved
I'm it. Nevertheless. they obey THE Speak
er and accept his dictation as absolute.
They kick in the cloak-rooms. and
sometimes when they get out in the cor
xi1ors they declare they will not stand
