English Press Opinions.
London Aug. 29.—The West-

action of Mr. Cleveland has assist-
ed largely to change public senti-
ment towards the Sherman act.
His waiting policy allowed the
country to pass through such
bitter experiences that it is not
surprising to find a strong opinion
in favor of the reversal of the pol-
icy which has landed the country
in difficulties. The effect upon busi-
ness will be felt instantly.”
The Pall Mall Gazette (Wm.
Waldorf Astor’s conservative daily)
says: “When confidence and credit
are restored J)y the repeal of the
pernicious Sherman act the status
of fiscal reform in the United States
will become easier.”
Carter Harrison’s Knock-Down.
Chicago Ills. Aug. 29.—Instead
of reductions in wages Mayor Car-
ter H. Harrison believes in reduc-
tions in other directions. He today
announces that he has ordered his
agents to make a general
reduction in rents. • “I have
done so” said Mr. Harrison
“because times are hard and money
is scarce. I hope my action will
be the means of the relief of those
who are embarrassed. I believe
that a general reduction in rents is
in order and it would be a good
thing if landlords and agents gen-
erally would follow my example.”
