PiTrsiiriton, Pa., August 27.?The
coke manufacturers were in a very good
humor this morning. This was caused
by the general opening of the coke
regions. For the past week it has been
impossible to get any coke out of the
regions, and, as a consequence, most of
the blast furnaces have not been turning
out any iron.
Oil account of the general shut-down
the shipment of coke will bo exceedingly

ilitlerout otlices where the coke is sold
showed that all the companies were
shipping as much coke as possible.
Mr. Magee, the general agent of the J.
M. .vhoon maker Coke Company, in
speaking of the eoke shipments, said:
"The entire coke regions have been
opened up, and tilings are lively. 1 supI>oflo
that altogether one thousand cars
will he sent out to-day, and probably as
lunch, if not more, to-morrow. During
the entire week I suppose the shipments
will amount to at least eight hundred
car loads a day on an average. The first
through train from Connellsvillo to
l:niontown went throttgh last evening.
The Southwest branch of the Pennsylvania
Railroad hits also been opened up,
anil there is nothing now to prevent
shipments. Of course, the railroads will
he pushed.somewhat, but the coke will
get out all the same. There is considerable
activity in the regions to-day, on account
of the railroads running in theii
empty cars. Lust week it was impossible
to got cars, and the coke which wiu
piled up will now be put in the ears for
raipnicnt."
Another gentleman speaking of the
coke tdnpnienta, Haiti: "They will In

New York, August 27.?-Henry George i
held his firnt Cleveland and Thurman
ratification meeting to>night, and, besides
himself,' William Lloyd Garrison
was a 8|>eaker. The spirit '
of the meeting was embodied in
a line upon a canvass buhind 1
the speakers,"Free Trade," "Free Laud,"
"Free Men." Mr. Garrison said the Republican
party, content to dwell on the
issues of the past, stood on one wide,
while on the other was the Democratic
party bewildered.
Said Mr. Garrison, among other utter- j
ances: "We have no desiro to conceal ^
that our attitude in one of absolute Free H
Trade. * We war against the spirit of ^
protection, which is a relic of despotism j
and monarchy." ^
Speaking of Mr. Hlaine, Mr. Garrison q

A DAKINU FOOTPAD.

by a .Hun. ])<
Cincinnati, August 27.?Particulars of CI
a highway robbery which was perpetrated
about 10 :.'10 o'elook Saturday night
! were developed at police headquarters f0
yesterday. The victim of the festive jn
i footpad was Miss Mollie Acklin, a middle-uyed
woman, employed at the board- Xt
ing-liouse 113 Smith street. LastSatur- Ha
day evening she and a couple of lady ftf
friends started out, intending to take a w
ride on .the Walnut Hills cable road. y<
While standing at Sixth and Walnut m
streets waiting for a car they were met 0(
1 t?Im tirnnnuml to norom
panv them, ami wore permitted so to do. \\
The men, according to Miss Acklin, n,
looked and acted like gentlemen, but OJ
this it seems, one of them, ut least, was jj,
anything; but. jj
Boarding a car the party went up to tc
Keldliaus' Garden, where a dance was &
in process. As there were three men c(
and the Hume number of women the t(
party split into nairs. After enjoying ^
themselves at Feldhaus' until about 10 w
o'clock, Miss Acklin, being desirous of
reaching home before it grew late, pro- a
posed starting in that direction. As no C1
ear was in sight at the time one of the
men proposed walking, at least part of |,
the way, until the car should catch up
with them.
At the garden some talk was indulged f,
in about pocket-books and how women ?
carried them, Miss Acklin having dis- /
played her purse, in which she had
twenty-one dollars and a check fur
thirty-eight dollar* on tho First National
Hank of llillsboro, Ohio, and which was
rendered rather bulky by the fact that j
tho most of the money was in silver. ?
No doubt thinking that there was much j,
more in the pocket-book than there jj
, really was, the eoveteousness of her jj
companion was evidently groused, and v

to secure it. In this he was no doubt t(
abutted by his companions, as walking
down Gilbert avenue the couples man- j|
aged to net about a square apart, one v
beiuu in front and the other behind ..
Mis* Acklin and her companion. J
When the Tower of Klsinoro, or Eden J,
Park entrance was reached, the young
man who was with Miss Acklin miked
her to take the other side of the sidewalk,
otiering a trivial excuse for his ^
request, which, however, the lady complied
with. While she wus in the act of 'o
stepping across in front of him, the fel- g
i low dealt her a stunning blow on the ti
. back of the heud, knocking her down d
. and rendering her for the moment tin- o
. conscious. This accomplished, it wan t
, but the work of a second to secure her p
, poeki'tbook and disappear in the dark
uess, up the side of the hill into the
park.
(hi recovering consciousness, the ladv I
, screamed, therebv attracting several ?<
, persons, one of wnoin pretended to be c
, a detective, but did not make any effort
) to pursue the fugitive thief. * Aside
from the loss of her money, which was
H all she possessed, the uufortunate woman I
t was severely bruived about the head, i

The KflTecU of the Democratic Free Trade
Policy on the Iron Intereat*.
New Sthaitsvillk, O., August 27.?
The mincre and furnace men in the great
Hocking Valley owe no thanks to his
heftiness, Grover Cleveland, that they
have done fairly well during the past
few months. All that the present Administration
could well do was done to
oppress the various industries of this section
that Mere slowly recuperating from
the effects of previous strikes and dissensions
between the miners on the one side
and the coal operators on the other.
Prior to the famous message of Mr. Cleveland
business in the Mocking Valley was
in a most healthy condition.
There was a fair murket for coal, and
eleven large furnaces were in full blast,
giving employment to an army of workingmen
at fair wages. The elleet of Mr.
Cleveland's order to the National Congress
to pave the way for England to
dump her pauper products into the
United States had a most depressing effect
upon all interests in this valley,
where a vast amount of money has been
invested in building up those large establishments
that gave huudrcds the'
means of earning good wages. While i
iron was uot bringing a big price in the
market, there was a small proiit in it,
especially where vast quantities of ore
was on hand.
This free-trade manifesto of 0rover
Cleveland, however, most effectually
kicked the underpinning out, and as a
result iron went tumbling down in price
until nine of the eleven furnaces in the
valley were compelled to close down.
The owners of the furnaces could not
see their way clear, and instead of investing
lartfe sums in ore, closed up
business. While it is generally believed
that the Mills bill will prove a dead letter,
capitalists arc nut disposed to invest
any more money until the tariff question
is decided, as it will be at the No|
vember election.
| The two furnaces now in operation
I will use up what ore is on hand, and
then probably close until after the
election. One of these furnaces, the
"Bessie," turns out a special brand of
jron used largely by tho stove manufacturers
of the country, both East and
West, it is known as "silicon iron,"
and its only rival in the world is made
iu Scotland. Under the existing tariff,
the Hocking Valley win compete with
Scotland on this grade, but should the
Mills bill become a law, llockini; Valley
would he completely shut out of the
Eastern market, as the bulk of the iron
goes to Philadelphia, New York, Connecticut
and other points in the Eastern
States.
Superintendent Orton, of the "Bessie,"
states that never since the building
up of tho iron industry in the Hocking
Valley ban the supply of ore been so
completely used up. jThe two furnaces
now in operation have on hand a sufficient
amount of ore to keep them in blast
until October I. At the present moment
iron is tending upward, but the demand
1h light, as no manufacturer will load up
with a heavy stock and trust to the Sherilfs
unloading him in Btho event of
Cleveland's re-election. As Superintend
cut Drum very pertinently put it, the
election of Mr. Cleveland would, in the
nature of things, give the no-called tariff
reformers the .Senate at an early day,
and then men who have their good
money invested in furnaces would have
to hustle to get it out. The furnaces
would have to close, or wages would
have to be scaled down to meet the reduction
in the tariff, and this would, of
necessity, reduce the price of mining.and,
in fact, all labor connected with the
making of irou.
How do the furnace men regard the
present stand taken by the Democratic
party? When questioned, the Democrats,
who are in a majority, have but
one reply: "We are Democrats but not
free traders." Early in the season,
when the tariff question first came to
the front, there, was a strong disposition
on the part of these men to regard the
matter as a campaign lie gotten up by
the Republicans, but the passage of the
Mills bill by the Lower House of Congress
had the effect of opening their
eyes very wide, ami now many reluctantly
admit that the Democratic
policy is loaded, and aimed directly at
tliein. The situation is now well understood.
Henry Qeorgc had many friends in
this section, while othcj$ were disposed
to cast their fortuues with the Union
Labor party. The Advocate, the organ
published by iinnry ueorge, has (juito a
number of readers ljer<\ but his pronounced
Free Trade proclivities have lost
hi in all, or nearly all, the substantial supporters
iu the mining sections in the
State. lloth Democrats and Jiopublicans
say that side shows like the Prohibition
party, the George party and the United
Labor movement will not cut much of a
caper in the coming contest, but the
issue will be fought between the Republicans
on behalf of Protection and the
Democracy for tariff reform, i. e., Frco
Trade.
The "Winona," at Gore, tho only other
furnace now in blast,started un about
two weeks since, after being idle for a
number of weeks. The company owning
it, the Columbus \locking Valley
Coal and Iron Company, also control
the "Bessie," and will keep the same iu
bloat until tho present stock of ore is
exhausted. Whether it will close about
October 1 or continue depends largely
upon the tone of tins market. It is safe
to say, however, that no move has yet
been made toward laying in a supply of
ore and other material necessary to a
continuation of work after October 1.
Mr. J. II. Ferguson, the .Superintendent,
confirmed all that Mr. Orion had
said in regard to the continuation of
work, lie believed that there would bo
no general revival of the iron trade un
I til the question of protection to American
industry ha?l been settled at tho
polls. There might be ft temporary demand
for small quantities of iron, but
all of the manufacturers were timid, and
bought only for the present use.

THE DESPEKATE EFFOB
Of Cleveland to Retrieve tf
Diplomatic Reputation
OF HIS ADMINISTRATIO
Falls Very Flat?The Bluff Moknji/

Nk\v Yobk, N. Y. August 27.?T1
Tribune says: The President's despt
ate attempt to retrieve the diplomat
reputation of his Administration re:
ders a review of its Canadian polic
timely. When he entered upon office
transition stage iiMhc relations of tl
United Suites and the Dominion was u|
preaching, The fisheries clauses of tl
Treaty of Washington had proved a
unsatisfactory and inequitable arrangi
mentso far as American interests wei
concerned. An exhorbitant price fc
inshore fishing rights had been exaete
by the Halifax arbitrators. The awar
of $5,500,000 was paid under pn
test, and when the period which it en
braced had passed tliero was no dispc
sition on the part of the U nited State
to reopen negotiations for a renewal c
the contract. Experience had deuioi:
btrated that the Canadian inshore fish
eries were not worth as much to Aineri
can fishermen as the privilege of free en
try to the Kew England market wast
the Dominion fishing fleet. According
ly, notice was given to the British Gov
eminent of the abrogation of the fishei
ies articles. By act of Congress am
President Arthur's proclamation thes
articles wcro to lapse on July 1, 18S5
The American iishing fleet had knowi
for two years what would happen, am
were not only fully prepared for tin
change, but very eager to have thci
home market protected against thei:
nmiiiiliiin ri vi!In.
This was the situation when the i'resi
dent was inauguuited. Congress ha<
abrogated thefisheriesarticle; Presiden
Arthur had proclaimed the change o
policy, and American fishermen wen
delighted with the proBpcct of sccurinj
relief from the burdens of an inequita
bio treaty. What was the first diplomat
ic act of the new Administration 111 thes<
circumstances? Secretary Bayard havinj
been approached by the astute Iiritisl
Minister affected alarm on account of tin
revision to the Treaty of ISIS in tlx
middle of a fishing season. lie grate
fully accepted an offer from Canada foi
a temporary extension of the inshore
fishing privileges, provided the Presi
dent in his first message would recom
mend a settlement of the lisheries dispute
by arbitration. The British Min
later was thus allowed in the first in
stance to dictate a passage of the ines
sage relating to the fisheries. The ab
rogated clauses were continued in force

Arthur, wiis reversed before tin

The President carried out Secreturj
ihyurd's compact with the Uritish Min
ister, but the Semite rejected by u deei
hive vote his recommendation lor arbi
tration. The season of 18S(> opened wit!
the Treaty of ISIS in operation, aud th<
first series of outrage on American com
mercc occurred on the Dominion sea
board. Congress passed a Retaliatioi
measure without division on party lines
The President made no attempt to en
force this legislation during that season
nor in the following year, although ai
many as four hundred American vusseli
were boarded, seized, harassed and sub
jected to expense or annoyance on tin
Dominion seaboard. He met Congresi
with a complaint that the retaliatory
powers were inadequate, ami the dec
juration that diplomacy was the onli
remedy. The .Senate promptly enlarge?
those 'powers in 1887, Democrats am
Republicans voting as one man. Thei
was witnessed a strange spectacle. Tin
Administration exerted all its inlluenci
for months to prevent the passage of any
Retaliation measure. The Belmont am
Manning projects were brought for wart
apparently tor thu express purpose o
blocking legislation altogether on thi
subject. This manoeuvre was defeated
bv the passage of the Senate bill in tin
House largely by Republican votes.
The Administration having been twi?
armed with authority from Congress

dredsof American vessels had been but

it made a humiliating treaty of Burreude
without securing reparation for wrong
suffered by Amerh an citizens or for in
suits olFered to the American flag. A
the same time it had loaded Canadiai
corporations with gratuities worth mill
ions of dollars to thorn in their warfar
upon American commerce and railway*
Thin is the Administration that sudden
ly bounces upon the scene like a circij
clown in the stripes and spangles of th
American flag, shrieking that it will rc

King wood, N. J., August 'JO.?-Robert
ie Garrett's friends made up their minds
several weeks ago that the Brevoort
House was no longer a proper place in
N which to care (or him. llis ease was be*
^ coming extremely critical. There was
no doubt he was insane. The noise of
;c pasaing wagons, and the hustle and ex*
dtement of the hotel were too great, and
an endeavor was made to secure a quiet
retreat. Mayor Hewitt, who has been a
good friend ?>f .Mr. Garrett, advised that
a visit bo made to Kingwood. There is
here the absolute quiet of the forest.
10 The Mayor's estate at Kingwood, just at
,r. the upper end of New Jersey, is se.,
eluded by nature, and distant from set*
lc tlemcnts. The nearest village to King0*
wood is Sloatsburg, in New York Suite.
?y Word was sent to New York last week
a that things would be all ready for tlieui
by Monday, and it was, expected here
t>- bo made to-day, but the family were 1
10 anxious to get Mr. Garactt out of the I
? city sooner ttian that, and it was decided
to make the trip Sunday. To avoid pub- j
lie curiosity it was decided to remove
'e Mr. Garreti very early Sunday morning. 1
>r The party reached Hingwood all right, t
j ami those who came up on the train say <
. that Mr. Garrett stood the trip very t
" well. There were physicians and keep- t
? ers with him. Once out here, Mr. Gar- t
i- rett was taken to a room on the second i
^ story of the house, to the left of the t
main entrauce. 1
18 A reporter drove up the dark, hilly 1
>f road that passes through the Hewitt es- t
i- tate, and, winding past the Mayor's t
i- brightly lighted house, leads between i
i* busin s and thickets to the old Miller s
- house. A kindly faced man came into
0 the reception room. Mr. Garrett, he e
said, was very sick, but they counted on t
- his being better here. }i
"We hope to bo here for several ii
1 months." the speaker added. "Mr. c
u (iarrett himself wanted souieth ug like g
>. this, and we got it for him. Tin- hotel o
i was too public and the streets too noisy. Ji
e for him, uud only his family and friends e
r are at hand." ' li
r A moment after this there came a t:
noise from overhead, ami a husky voice
> shouted: p
1 "Yes, Robert Garrett is here, and he is c
t alive." r
f Just as the sound ceased there were s
- heard other voices, as if the attendants hi
i were making assent and endeavoring to '1
calm the excited man, hut he was not w
calmed, ami there rang out a cry of c
"Murder!" followed by the words, "Ah! w
Robert Garrett. Yes; Robert Garrett is tl
here and alive, too." Again the voices tl
of the attendants were heard, but their si
words could not bo made out, and then w
there was a laugh, or something like it, tl
and one could hear Garrett pounding us 11
if on a table with his list, calling a meet- ti
ing to order. Then he uttered a series k
of sentences incoherently and rapidly, c:
hut he ended with the words: u
"1 will close with these gentlemen tl
now." Then his hand falling on the \\
table or wall emphasized his seuteuce re- u
- pouted again, I will close with tliese n
: gentlemen," aw if lie had been negotiat- fa
ing a Hale or transfer of Baltimore & Ohio ii
interests. His removal seems to have y
excited him, and he is violeut, at least
in language. tl

of Indiana.
HE DEFENDS THE MILLS BILL

Help Mr. Cleveland Animig
1'roti'ctIon Democrat*.
I.vdia-.vapoms, August 27.?Ex-Senator
Joseph K. McDonald delivered an address
here to-night in the criminal court
room. The meeting >van under the
auspices of the Hendricks club, and was
very generally attended by citizens of
both parties. The Speech is regarded as
the key note of the tariff reform campaign
in this State.
.Senator McDonald begun by quoting
from President Cleveland's tariff reform
message to Congress. lie touched upon
ho surplus in the federal treasury uml
juoted from the federal constitution to
?how that the.only power of the Government
to levy a tax is for its legitimate
expensed, incurred for the general
rr.oil. He then took up and considered
he Mills bill at length, promising .that
te would speak to some extent from the
Juliana standpoint. In reply to the
:harges mado by the Republicans that
he wool clause of the bill was framed
n the.interest of the South, the speaker
uid:
".So far from this being true with refernee
to,the wool and woolen tarills and
he changes proposed, if they discrimilate
against any section of the country,
t is against the nouthwest and the I'aitic
Suites. There have been changes
oing on from the very foundation of
ur Government in regard to what may
>e termed the wool centers, that are
rrespcctivo of tarill' provisions. In the
arly history of our country, New Engniu
was the centre of the wool production;
then it shifted to the Middle '
tales; then to the West, and linally it
asst'd the Mississippi river, and in \o- '
ated in the Southeastern States aim teritories
and in tlie States of the Pacific
lope" .Senator McDonald quoted from
tatistiesto sustain this point in view,
'he interest of Indiana, he declared, 1
as in cheap wool in order to have
heap clothing. Hereafter Indiana
ouId raise sheep for mutton rather i
mil for wool. The speaker declared
jat free wool would injure neither the
lieep raiser or the laborers engaged in
ooli'ii mills; that on the contrary, ,
?ey would be benefitted. He dwelt '
pou this point at length, and illus- i
ated it by citing the boot and shoe ,
lather trade, which is doing a large ,
xport business, but stil has spare man*
facturing capacity, being able to (ill '
le orders with only eight months j
ork per year; and he declared that i
fitli a small reduction in the cost of j
iw material would enable our nianu- :
icturers to build up a foreign trade sufcient
to keep their shops busy the (
ear through.
The Senator continued by saying that 1
lie custlv plants for the manufacture of <
otton fabrics in New England and those
jr the manufacture of iron in Pennsyl- <
auia were lar removed from the source
f the raw material; depend upon the
iritl* for their existence, and kept up
lie price of their respective products,
t may be safely asserted that the future ;
uccchS of the manufacturing enterprises i
11 the United Suites will turn very greaty
upon the question of cheap raw maarinl.
elu-an plants and ehean imiehin
ry. Our natural advantages m the nrouction
of cotton ami our mineral re- '
purees ought to furniHli us with cheap
aw material in at least the leading ariclesof
manufacture; but cheap plants ,
nd cheap machinery can only be secur- .
d by relieving the articles necessary to ]
ie tised in the construction of the :
lurdensome taxation which they at ;
iresent are subject to.
lie denounced the charges that the
Iills bill was drawn under tlie influences
f the Cobden Club in British interests 1
s demagogy, and proceeded to show
ihat commercial results Great Britain
lad achieved under her Free Trade polcv,
ami added: "From these facts, I :
now very well that as long us Great
Iritain can be permitted to monopolize
he carrying trade of the world and the ,
uurkets of the world outside the United
itateg, she is perfectly willing that we
hall amuse ourselves by trading jackets ,
vitli each other inside of our :
ines; but that if some day, as 1
ie undoubtedly shall, we break
hrough this crust of protection and ener
into eoinpetiti6n with her in themar:ets
of the world, then we may expect
hat she will throw every impediment
tossible in our way. The opportunity
8.presented for our doing it now; if it
>e allowed to puss by it may be years beore
it is presented again in any form so
avorable."
He closed with an eulogy of the Dem
icrutic National ticket, and charged that
iencrul Harrison is not, us claimed, a
riend of the workingman.
