Habhisbubo, Feb. 17. The Governor and his Secretary of Stats, Hon. William are notnpon the. same intimate terms of a year ago, and there are olonds in the first Demoo ratio Cabinet in twenty five years.

The talk In certain close political oirolat here today is that Stenger is about to resign, having been requested by Governor Pattison to do so. Mews of It first crept out in the Jefferson club few days ago and has become a piece of com mon property. The warmest feeling has by no means prevailed between the Governor and Secretary of State einoe the close of the Legls lature's extra session The trouble has two oauses. It la well known that Stenger, and Col. MoClure, editor of the Philadelphia Ttmes, are warm political friends.

They were fellow townsmen, living almost next door in Chambersbnrg for many years, and certain alriotures cast upon the administration by the Valley Spirit, whioh Is Stenger's organ in the Cumberland and whioh strictures MoClure and Hensel were quick to make use of, were part of a ooncerted attack upon the Governor's policy. Again there is a strong suspicion here that Stenger's ooaviotlona in regard to the eall for the, extra session were backed up by Senator Wallace, and the editorials on the subjeot in MoClure's Timet it was openly stated on the floor of the House, were, In large measure, colored by Stenger. MoClure'e disagreement with Gov ernor Pattison resulted over the latter' pertinent refusal to permit the Pilgrim Father of Philadelphia politioa to shape and diotate the membership of the cabinet. Pattison selected Stenger two weeks after his election. That far the thing was all very well.

But when the announcement same of Cassidy's appointment to the Attorney Generalship, the storm broke over the ex Controller's head. Pilgrim Father MoClure wanted Furman Sheppard, Hensel wanted Malcom Hay so did Hopkins. and ths Timet was loud for its man, loud for any man but It may not be gener ally known, but the resentment evidenoed against MoClure for his share in fighting Pat tison in the chair, after his enthusiasm to get him there, was so great that at the late Demo. torney General' offioe, familiar with thing there, ha been gtvan the grand boaa.

17. There was a large gathering of representative: manufacturers of the United State in the room of the Honse Way and Mean Committee yesterday for the purpose of presenting protest of iron, and ateel manufacturers nnd iron ore producers against the enactment of the Morrison Tariff bill. Before the hearing representatives of the various industries met nnd organized, ith B. F. Jones, of Pittsburg, as ebair and J.

D. Week, of Pittsburg, secre tary. PBOTBST Or IRON IHTRKSTS. I The chairman of the delegation soon the committee was called to order presented the protest, whioh waa read by Seoretary Weeks. It set forth that any reduction of duties would seriously affsct labor and; that iron and steel now yields little or no profit on the capital invested.

A sufficient time had not elapsed since the act of 1883 to ascertain what the consequence be if a for a ohange existed. It would not accomplish the rsduction of the revenue whioh was sought because of the extreme difficulty of a correct interpretation, for the plainest and most sim ple tariff law at oast was dlmoult of interpre tation and application. A great was offered by the Morrison tariff bill for un dervaluation and frauds on the revenue. The provision that no artlcls in the metal schedule should pay over fifty per cent, ad valorem was a diatinet invitation to under vuluation and the possibility ot fraud was greatly increased by the four standards of comparison the act of 1883, the twenty per cent, reaucuon or the pressnt bill, the provis ion that ths duty shall not exoeed fifty per cent, ad valorem ai.d tba act of March 2, 1861. There were already euffioient elements or disturbance and depression in busi without agitating the tariff question, ths evil effects of whioh could not be foreseen.

In conclusion, the protest Bays "the ap parently indicates the purpose of. lmposiog permanently European conditions of labor npon the workingmen of this oonntry, conditions against which foreign laborer revolt, and which they seek this country to esospe. The maintenance of an American scale of wages for Amerioan workingmen ia essential to the good order of our aociety, the stability of our institutions and the general prosperity of the country, and this involves the maintenance of the Amerioan polioy of proteotion to home industry." UBOBIBO MEM SARD VBOM. President Weihe and Secretary Martin, of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, made forcible and earnest speeches, protesting against ths bill and deploring the present agitation, on the ground that the reductions, if made, will reduce wages and increase the idleness and distress among the workingmen, that many Iron and steel mill are already idle, and that the number must Inoroase ir the rate are out down. They attributed the present depression in some branches of Iron and steel manufacture in part to inoreaaed importation of foreign scrap an other iron under the lower dutiee imposed by the not or last Maroh, but mainly to tne con tinued agitation and uncertainty whioh pre vail on or to nostue attitude the majority in the House.

Said ane them; "In behalf of tba workingmen we are hern to pretest against any further reduction, for low wagee follow lo tariff, and in the name of labor we beg yon fairly to consider to is subject nnd the in ta rests of the workingmen and their families. Strong protects against the bill were also made by representatives of the lead indnetry, one or whom said "Pass Ihu bill and you may a wall take your mapa and blot therefrom the great silver and land mining region of Colo redo, Utah, Idaho, yjevada, Mew Mexico and Arisona." Mr. iJraper, of Maaaaobuaetts, in behalf of the Amerioan manufacturere of tex tile machinery, made a forcible argument againat the proposed rednctioneon maebiasry Messrs.

Nothing has been permitted to pass him by. Young Gordon espeoially became the object upon which the Times11 superb sewage system was run.

With Amerman from the Houss Gordon was always welcome to Cabinet session and the Governor was frequently seen in his room at the Bolton House where Cassidy also appeared. There daily bulletins from both legislative bodies of the extra session feeling, and as the situation over the failflre of apportionment grew and more gloomy, other means were adopted to turn publio attention. The Humes Sinking Fund Bill, framed in reality by Cassidy's pen, was the oae solitary and happy relief offered, and to it the Cabinet with its annex fastened itself. Humee became the administration aposlle forthwith. With Stengernnd Gordon he carried the explanation of the BUI over the State and great efforts were made to turn the tide.

But it would not turn. The victory of 1882 was far too rapidly becoming the rout of 1883, and fast npon tba Impending public condemnation came the leak of administration secrets through the Timet. It was toe much but the Governor never showed a sign. Hoi baek riding, Suequshanna sunsets, a bear hunt in the wilds of Sullivan county and the State militia inspection made a cool man out of him.

The State depart ment has not. reoeived any information corroborative of the report that Prinoe BUmark had returned the resolution of condolence of Herr Leaker's death to the German minister with instructions to return them to Congress.

The secretary is inolinsd to doubt ths truth of the report in view of ths mot that neither he nor the German minister here has bssn informed of any such action by Prinoe Bismarok Rs Friend of the Uealted tattasv NbwYok, Thew York Stoats Zeitung says in rsgard to the return of the Iiaakar resolution by Prince Bismarok, that there is little doubt that Bismsrok is not a friend of the United States, and probably he looks down with a sort of oontompt upon the oooduot of political affairs in this country, and we regret to say that there I cause enough' for holding such views. He evidently relished the opportunity whioh gave him a pretext for an expression of his contempt.

Perhaps he thought to be thus able to influenoe the Ger man nation againat tha United States, whioh has proven a harbor of refuge for them against the misery at noma, we aonot whether ne will succeed in thus influencing ths German neenle against the United States. We should not Ave Bismarok any cause to think that he had any justification the contempt by treating his insult with indiffer ence.
