Tribute of David R. Francis.

St Louis, June 4.-Former Governor David R. Francis, who was Secretary of the Interior during the second admins tration of President Cleveland, expressed profound regret when told of the death of the former President. He said:
 MT. Cleveland was truly great man and a patriot of the highest type. The services he rendered the republic have never been fully appreciated, but will be held in higher and higher estimate as days roll by. He was a democrat of democrats and understood the true prin- cples of the doctrine as thoroughly if not more than any man of his generation His taking off at this juncture is an over whelming loss to the country, as well as to his party. When in public office he was untiring in his devotion to duty and so mindful of the public interests that he was willing to sacrifice thereto not only personal friendship, but every in- terest and relation that came in conflict with his official trust"
 MT. Francis, accompanied by his wife, will depart for Princeton late today and will be present at the funeral

Tribute From Paul Morton.

New York, June 24.-Paul Morton said:
 Grover Cleveland was a most remark able man-deiberate In thought, sound in conclusion and always careful in action. He was simple a child in his integrity
 eHe was the highest type of public serv- ant and it Is to be regretted we have so few men of his sturdy character in pub lie life. He was a patriot rather than a partisan and his moral courage to do what he thought best for the country re- gardless of his party was the beginning of the independent thought throughout the United States. which is now such a factor in our national affairs

IRON AND STEEL
 BARS ARE ACTIVE RaiIread Interests Are Coming
 Into the Market FARM MACHINERY NEEDED Sales of Iron Are Plentiful at Reduced Prices, But Labor Conditions Are
 Still Unsettled In Many
 Parts of the Country.
FARM MACHINERY NEEDED

Cleveland June 4.-The Iron Trade Re- view tomorrow will say:
 Continued activity in iron and steel bars a part of the demand coming from railroad interests, has been the encour- aging feature of the week, and conditions are not lacking that considerable buying for repairs of equipment and for main- tenanee of way by the railroads will not long be delayed. Several western trunk lines have given orders for the immediate repair of track and rolling stock, and al- ready specifications for a large tonnage of iron and steel and other equipment have been received. There is an i'm mense demand for agricultural machinery and some manufacturers of agricultural implements are working night and day.
 There has been also some improvement in demand for merchant pipe, but in plates. shapes, sheets and other finished lines the volume of business is very small. Sales of iron at the reduced prices are being made at a moderate rate. Many more vessels are in commission on the lakes, but independent interests are hay ing difficulty in obtaining cargoes The labor situation is still unsettled.
 The pig iron market has been very quiet throughout the country, and no notable sales have been made. In the central west prices have been firm, but in the east, and to some extent in the south, there is a tendency toward weak ness. Although nearly all southern sell CTS are unwilling to dispose of their iron for less than $12 Birmingham for No. ,, two or three companies are understood to have sold at from $11 50 to s11.70
 Persistent rumors of low quotations on steel bars have attracted much attention and are attributed to the fact that bars rolled from old rails in the Chicago ter rtory have been sold as low as $120 per hundred pounds at the makers mills There is no evidence of shading of the recently established price of soft steel bars, which are rolled from new material, and the price of old rails has advanced so that the rerolled product cannot be sold so low as it has been recently.

Expression From Fairbanks.

Speaking of the former President, the Vice President said: Grover Cleveland was one of the ablest and most patri- otic statesmen the country has pro- duced. He devoted himself to the pub lie service with singleness of purpose and stood by his convictions on i'm portant public questions with sturdy courage that commanded admiration. among the great body of the people. He was a many sided mana man of broad and generous sympathies His influence was always for good. He was indeed the very best type of public servant and private citizen"
