A lody of police arrived promptly and now matters are comparatively quiet. vacati' For the week ending July 1st, tlio production of anthracite coal was 692,611 tons, against 656,228 tons for the corresponding week last year.

The plan which seemed to llnd most favor with tho interior committeemen was that of Chairman Cooper for a remission of the two tickets to primaries, lioth sides agreeing beforehand that that which received the majority of Republican suffrages should be unitedly supported. If tho Independents refused an offer of this sort, it was argued that they would be placed in the position of rejecting harmony, when placed within their reach, and the result would lie to niuke the Regular ticket stronger before the people than ever. Some of the Committee are opposed to any advances whatever, contending that the Independents will agree to nothing, and that the light may as well be squarely drawn first as last.

Reports were in circulation that his injuries were dangerous, but wo are assured that this is untnio. So far as production goes, says the Mining Record, the companies have their business well in hand and are absolutely masters of the situation. Their unequalled facilities for mining coal in large quantities give them the power to meet and satisfy whatever demand may arise; a fact clearly shown in the operations of the past two or three weeks.

How long the market will continue taking coal at this rate may be a question for consideration ; but. so far, there seems to be no falling off in tho demand worth noticing. It may be that when the orders booked in June are all tilled, we shall hear of a diminished demand for coal. Then it will be in order for tho companies to shorten production and give notice of a further advance in prices, to tako effect August 1. From that date to the close of the season, there will bo small noed of " managing " the trade- -it will manago itself ; the only fear will be that in cases of strikes or other interruptions to the business, coal enough will not be produced to supply the wants of tho communitv.

Two A lllow at Pennsylvania's Iron Interests— REFRIGERATORS hi tlio Battery I'ark this morning. Reducing the Steel Kail Duty. Hatters Get Their Demand. Washington", July 8.—The chief topic of conversation to-day at the Capitol has been the action of the Senate Republican caucus last night, which decided to make amendments to the Internal Revenue bill that will, if adopted, reduce taxation in the neighborhood of $40,000,000. It was incorrectly said in despatches sent from this city late last night that the caucus had decided to reduce the tax on tobacco below the figure fixed in the House bill. Senators Cameron, of Pennsylvania, and Mahone of Virginia, are the only two Republican Senators who have declared themselves in favor of large reductions of the tax on tobacco. There may he other Republicans who will vote to reduce the tax, and Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, has hope that the amendment proposed by him to-day, fixing the tax on tobacco at ten cents, will be adopted. The decision of the caucus was to reduce the duty on Bessomer rails from $28 to $2° per ton, abolish the duty of twenty-five cents levied upon all sugars in addition to existing rates,by the act of March 3, 1875, to protect the sinking fund; to adopt the McKinley amendment imposing the same duty on every article made of hoop iron, or of which hoop iron is its chief compound part, as is now paid on hoop iron, and to pass the knit goods bill without amendment While there were some differences of BEST MAKE, By telogruph to the Gazette The Indian Contingent Ordered to Egypt.

The plan which seemed to llnd most favor with tho interior committeemen was that of Chairman Cooper for a remission of the two tickets to primaries, lioth sides agreeing beforehand that that which received the majority of Republican suffrages should be unitedly supported. If tho Independents refused an offer of this sort, it was argued that they would be placed in the position of rejecting harmony, when placed within their reach, and the result would lie to niuke the Regular ticket stronger before the people than ever. Some of the Committee are opposed to any advances whatever, contending that the Independents will agree to nothing, and that the light may as well be squarely drawn first as last.

So far as production goes, says the Mining Record, the companies have their business well in hand and are absolutely masters of the situation.

How long the market will continue taking coal at this rate may be a question for consideration ; but. so far, there seems to be no falling off in tho demand worth noticing.

Two A lllow at Pennsylvania's Iron Interests— REFRIGERATORS hi tlio Battery I'ark this morning. Reducing the Steel Kail Duty. Hatters Get Their Demand. Washington", July 8.—The chief topic of conversation to-day at the Capitol has been the action of the Senate Republican caucus last night, which decided to make amendments to the Internal Revenue bill that will, if adopted, reduce taxation in the neighborhood of $40,000,000. It was incorrectly said in despatches sent from this city late last night that the caucus had decided to reduce the tax on tobacco below the figure fixed in the House bill. Senators Cameron, of Pennsylvania, and Mahone of Virginia, are the only two Republican Senators who have declared themselves in favor of large reductions of the tax on tobacco. There may he other Republicans who will vote to reduce the tax, and Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, has hope that the amendment proposed by him to-day, fixing the tax on tobacco at ten cents, will be adopted. The decision of the caucus was to reduce the duty on Bessomer rails from $28 to $2° per ton, abolish the duty of twenty-five cents levied upon all sugars in addition to existing rates,by the act of March 3, 1875, to protect the sinking fund; to adopt the McKinley amendment imposing the same duty on every article made of hoop iron, or of which hoop iron is its chief compound part, as is now paid on hoop iron, and to pass the knit goods bill without amendment While there were some differences of BEST MAKE, By telogruph to the Gazette The Indian Contingent Ordered to Egypt.
