8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALIL, TfiURSD;lY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1896. AMERICAN WooL MATE UNSALABLE How an Industry Was De- stroyed by Democratic Free Trade. WOOLEN-MILLS CLOSED. Seventy-Five Per Cent of the Factories Went Out of Existence. MEN THROWN 0UT OF WORK England, as Usual, Reaping the Ben- efit of the Disaster in the United States. The circnlar of Justice, Bateman & Co., wool commission merchants of Phila- delphia, dated September 1, contains a review of the wool industry which possesses more than ordinary interestat this time. It is not surprising that the wool business during the past month has been the dullest on record in view of tive fact that over 75 per cent of the woolen machipery of the United States is either entirely stopped or running on short time. The sales of domestic wool during the six months follewing the defeat of the Dingley bill have been less than any average month’s seles under the McKinley period. Although the American clip is known to have decreased over 100,000,000 pounds since the repeal of the McKinley duties, the supply of all kinas is to-day in ecxess of any previous period. The excessive importations of foreign raw wool on the one hand, aud the decreased employment for American mills on the other, have both contributed toward the surplus; the quantity daily thrown out of use by the closed mills being equivalent to just that much increase in the supply, and the longer the mills remain closed the larger the sur- plus becomes. Wool warehouses are full to bursting with stock for which there is no sale. The shortage in the domestic clip was con- sidered a sure guarantee of higher prices, but, owing to the closed mills, there are millions of pounds of wool, most of which is 1n the Territories, for which there are no buyers or commission-houses who care to take it uniless cash advances are not required. Wool in London since the McKinley dutles were repealed has advanced over 9 per cent, while wools of the same kind and quality in America have declined over 42 per cent. As ihe gold standard for measuring values pre- vails in both places it is evident that these price fluctuations in opposite directions are caused Dby the removal 01 the wool tariff, dar- ing the existence of which prices in London for over twenty-five years averaged 51 per cent lower than for the same kind of domestic | wools in the United States. Now, instead of being double the London price, American wools are 9 per cent below the London price, and are being exported because, for the first time in our history, they are unmarketable here. So much for less than two years of free irade. What hae William J. Bryan to say to this outcome in view of his speech in the second session of the Fifty-third Congress on the Wil- son bill, when he said: Speaking for my it 15 immaterial in my opinion wheiher the sheep-grower receives any benefit from the tariff or not. Iam for free wool in orger that our manufacturers unburdened by tax upon foreign wool, and unburdened by s ilke tax upon nome-grown wool, may manafacture for a wider market. Relief to the wool market may come through speculatiun growing out of u restoration of confidence resulting from McKiniey’s election and the prospect of the restoration of wool du- ties within a year thereafter, or it may come through the export of the surplus to Europe. A moyement in this direction has already be- un. ' fhiere has been returned_to Europe recently by one of the largest Messachusetts mills about 2000 bales of Austrulian wool and as much more has been shipped by other parties, including 500 bales of French scoured wool. The first 10 30 back to Europe of course wili be the imported qualitics that are well known and popular thero. It is not improbable, how- ever, tuat important shipments of American wool will also be made, notwithstanding the disfavor with which experimental shipments have been received. The Yorkshire Factory Times, under date of July 24, contains the following: AMERICAN WOOL ON THE ENGLISH MARKET. The Yankee, ever on the lookout for anything that benefits himself, has a weakness for screech- ing out when in fair fight he s beaten. It appears that Mr. Claude Meeker, the American Consul, has reported 10 his Government that the stuff which | the Yauxee calls American wool is_not meeting with that due appreciation which Brother Jona- than fondly imugined it would. Of course, it is not the material which is at fault: 1t is the stupid Eng- 1ish wool sorter who does not know how to handle it The fact that the stuff_can scarcely be called hair, and yet may notbe designated wool, and is thus not at ail sultable for the purposes of the | Bradford trade, Is a secondary consideration. What the Yankee is annoyed at is that, notwith- standing the manufacturer in America dves not see his way to pay the price asked for by growers, the English buyer is no less cute. ‘Chere has been we are told several hundrea thousand pounds of American wool upon the Engiish market, which was sent back 1o the land of the Starsand Stripes becanse the prices asked could not be realized. THROUGH GREAT FORESTS The Members of Hoke Smith’s Commission Finally Ar- rive Here. Traveled 1000 Miles by Wagon and Rode on Horseback Over Eik Trails. C. 8. Sargent of Brookline, Mass., chair- man of the United States commission to examine and report on the timber regions of the West, the National parks and reser- vations, arrived here yesterday after a long tour through what is left of the American wilderness. He is accompanied by Professor William H. Brewer of Yale, General H. L. Abbortt of the Engineer Corps of the United States army. Arnold Hague of the United States Geological Survey and John Muir of the commission. { I do not know that I can give yon any startling details regarding our trip or our purposes,”’ said Mr. Sargent, “‘but what I haveis at your disposal. This commis- sion was appointed by the National Academy ai the request of the Secretary of the Interior. It is the National For- estry Commission, as generally known. “We have been out since July 2 and have traveled nearly 1000 miles by wagon and made long distances on horseback over elk trails and in all kinds of country. ‘We have been in the Yellowstone Park, in the wiid timber regions of Northern Mon- tana and Northern Idaho, ascended Mount Tacoma, Mount Rainierand Mount Hood, visited Crater Lake, and also went to the wild Olympic Mountains in West- ern Washington and Oregon. Our trip finally ended by a trip throngh Del Norte County and a portion of Humboldt. ““It is mow our intention to visit the Sierras, San Jacinto, San Gabriel and other places. Prolessor Agassiz, who is one of jthe Commissioners, has not been able to be with us. Professor Gifford Pinchot of New York, whose life specialty hasbeen forestry, is also one of the Com- missioners. Heis in the Yosemite now, _where he has been for some time. He will probably visit Kings River Reservation and join us a little later. ¥ “*‘When we have finished our inspection we will make a full report. The forest fires of the Northwest are so widespread and the smoke so dense thatthere has been but one time when we could get an extended view of the connu;i about us. This was when we were in the Olympic Mountains.” Mr. Sargent is probably the greatest au- thority on forestry in the United States. He is the author of a number of books, and for a long time has stood among the leading foresters of the world. Mr. Brewer is the professor of agricul- ture in Yale College. = He was from 1861 to 1865 connected with the United States Geological Survey in California, and Mount Brewer was named for him. He ascended Mounts Shasta, Brewer, Whit- ney and other mountains, explored them nid wrote much concerning them. When he' left here he went direct to Yale, and has been there ever since. Professor Brewer said that the prime object of the commission was to de- vise means to preserve the forests from fires, theft and other depredations. He 8ays there are about 19,000,000 acres of timber in the West, of which 4,000,000 acres are in California and 4,000,000 in Oregon. ‘I have been constantly surprised dur- ing this trip,”’ said he, ‘‘to notice the wanton destruction of the great forests. I was particularly astonished to notice how Mount Shasta has been denuded. ““When I ascended that mountain origin- ally in the early sixties there were great forests about its base and reaching far up its sides. In recent years this timber has been cut and burned away. It is so else- where throughout the West. This ought not to be. “I also noticed the inroads among the redwoods, those great forest giants that ought to be preserved from wanton de- struction. They ought to be preserved as a heritage for future genersations.” Professor Brewer has not been here for years, and he is glad to meet his old Cali fornia friends again. BOTH CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC Claims of a Religious Body . Established in This City. ITS ELABORATE RITUAL. An Evangelist Will Soon Come Hither to Teach Its Doc- triges. HANDSOME CHURCH EDIFICE. Some Striking Features in the Public Worship of a Little Known Community. Local religious circles are soon to be en- livened by the advent of an evaneelist from London, who will speak to Califor- -nians about the catholic and apostolic church. This religious body is sometimes nand D. Ciprico, now serving a sentence of six years in slneo‘Qnenun for uttering forged Chinese certificates. Ciprico, it will be re- called, was a member of the Katzanen-Foss gang of certificate manipulators and opium smugglers breught to justice some months ago through the untiring efforis of Special Agent Thomas and Specinl Treasury Agent Moore. Stonehill has secured some fiity signers to the petition so far, but has Dot as yet ap- proached the Prefl&ing Judge or the District Attorney. Unless these two are secured it is not probable that the petition ifor a pardon will be seriously considered by the President. el THE “TAILORS' STRIKE SALE.” An Explanaticn of What It Is and What Brought It About. The “tailors’ strike sale” at Summer- field’s big store, 924-930 Market street, has been attracting unusual attention in com- mercial circles as well as with the citizen looking for bargains. The prices for a high grade of goods have ranged so low as to excite curiosity as to how they have been brought about. The fact appears to be thata great strike has been 1n progress in New York City among the journeymen tailors for alon g time, Thousands of people were involved during the entire period. The effect was to bring confusion and loss to the entire circle of trade in which it occurred. Goods could not. be delivered within the time limit placed upon the orders, and the orders were therefore In hundreds of in- stances countermanded. The direct con- sequence of this was that immense quantity of seasonable goods accumulated in the hands of manufacturers, which they were, of course, eager to dispose of at any price in order to get goinf again in the regular course of trade, filling new orders piling in upon them, the strike having came to an end—the strikers, it may be interesting to read again, having won the day. Well, Summerfield’s resident ageént in New York saw his opportunity, advised the house here, and they directed him to buy almost without limit. The result is that no less than $89,000 worth of the SONS OF ST, PATRICK, -They Hold Their Twenty-Third Annual Picnic and Excursion. The Mutual Alliance Association Re- union Under the Trees at Scheu(zzn Park. The twenty-third annual picnic and ex- cursion of St. Patrick’s Mutual Alliance Association of California was held yester- day at Schuetzen Park, near San Rafael. In all that goes to make up a really en- joyable outing this reunion of the Al- liance men and their friends was a grand success. When the excursionists, with the Hi- bernia band, entered the park at10 A. . everything looked propitious for a good day. The weather wasail that coula be desired, and as for the jolly party, there was so much enthusiasm and good will in the air everybody was happy and bent on enjoying the picnic. So far as the programme is concerned, there could have been no excuse for lack of enjoyment, because the comfort and pleasure of all present were well attended to. There was a long list of dances for those who preferred the waltz or quadrille to a rest under the trees, and. while the dance was at its height a crowd gathered in the athletic grounds to witness the games and contests. There was much in- terest shown in these events, and no doubt the handsome prizes had much to do with the spirit of rivalry manifested and the zest given the sport as well. The events contested were as follows: Children under eight years of age—First prize, Charles Campbell; second, Joe Noonan; third, Edwin Bates. Girls under 12 years—First, May Donohue; second, Hazel Coyne; third, Julia Ellis, Boys' under 12 years—First, Warren Red- mond; second, Joha Cullom; third, Valentine urns. Girls under 16 yun—FirnhTfluo Hanns; second, Lillie Trainor; third, Mabel Ferris, Boys under 16 years—First, M. Lynch; sec- ond, J.

Tug-of-war, married men vs. single men— Won by the married men. The success of the outing is due to the following active members of the alliance: Committee of arrangements—James A. Foley, chairman; M. J. Gorman, M. Kilday, John H. %cfimney,?n!flck Rellly, J. Leslie, Hugh F. eon. Committee on games—Thomes Alford, chair- man; Patrick Rooney, Jeremiah Griffin, P.H.

The cele- brated preacher, Edward Irving, seems to have been merely a co-worker with other nonconformists in bringing together a number of persons whose religious views agreed with his own. The body disclaims any pretensions to being a separate church, and claims fellowship with all churches having a heirarchical priest- hood. The local congregation kas been in ex- istence for some years and has now a handsome church on Eighteenth street, near Dolores. On entering the visitor's attention is first attracted by the holy water font just inside thedoor. The body of the church is fitted up with pews and kneeling-benches and will accommodate about 400 persons. The chancel is the most elaborately furnished portion of the edifice, being fitted up like that of a prop- erly constructed Roman Catholic cathe- dral. The lower choir or diaconal step, occupied by the inferior clergy, is followed by the presbyteral etepe leading to the up- per choir, which is reserved for the priests or elders. Above and beyond the presbytery is the sanctuary, having a handsome altar, sur- mounted by a tabernacle in which the sacrament is reserved for the communion of the sick. Before the altar hangs alamp which is always kept burning. To the left of the altar is the throne of the bishop, or “angel,” the Rev. William M, Pearl, and round about are cushions upon which the officiating clergy kneel during the services. To the left is also a pulpit from which the gospel is read, and on the 390- site side stands & lectern for the reading of the epistle. This church has a complete and elab- orate ceremonial, its most imposing serv- ice being the celebration of the eucharist, which they regard as both sacrament and sacrifice. In the liturgy of the eucharist are many adaptations fromm the Roman missal and from the Book of Common Prayer, besides other rites of more modern origin. The vestments used by the offi- ciating clergy are identical with those now emplo{sd by the Roman church, and are of as rich and handsome materials as can be procured. The albs and surplices are linen and the other vestments usually of silk or velvet in various colors. Incense and lights are used atall the solemn services, the lights being olive-oil lamps, no candles being burned. The solemn offices are all intoned throughout, the church having a complete musical rit- ual of its own, different from any other, except in the case of tne psalms, which are chanted to the Gregorian tones. The church is administered from Lon- don, where are seven magnificent build- ings, corresponding to the ‘‘seven-churches of Asia’ mentioned in the A‘)ocllypsl. Sixty years ago twelve ‘‘apostles” were set apart as the governing body of the church, only one of whom is yet alive. He resides in England, and though not claiming or exercising pontifical authority, is the chief ecclesiastical dighitary, - The local church, though its member- ship is not very large, is in a flourishing condition.

He Thought the Iron Doors in the Sidewa 'k at the Cafe Zinkand Would Open. 1 David McGnuire, 1514 O’Farrell sireet, met with an accident yesterday morning that may cost him his life. McGuire drives a delivery wagou for 8. Solomon, butcher, in the Grand Central Market, and he has been in the habit of delivering supplies at the Cafe Zinkand on Market street. He used the street elevator to save him the trouble and inconvenience of carrying the meat downstairs to the kitchen. He went there about 6 o’clock yesterday morning with the wisual supoly of meat. Leaving his wagon on the street he went round and got to the street elevator. He started it upward thinking that the iron doorson the sidewalk would open as they had always done before. Unfortunately they did not open, and Maguirefjwas crushed against them. His wagon was noticed outside, and as he did not make his appearance it was sus- chud that mmechins was wrong. A urried search revealed the true state.of matters and McGuire was quickly released from what may prove his death trap. He Wwas unconscious and it was thought he wasdying. The patrol wagon was summoned and the unconscious man was taken to the Ru- ceiving Hosiiml. Dr. Thompson found a fracture at the base of the skuil, his right side was contused and he had sustained severeinternal injuries, although no bones ap! us%d to be broken. I r.

Af er some introductory remarks by Gen- eral Walter Turnbuli, president of the ex- change, Augustus J. Bowie, M.E., will discuss the process of mining to-day as compared with old-time methods, and Alfred Ropp,*M.E., suverintendent of Selby Swelting Works, wiil speak on new and improved processes for re- ducingoresand saving the precfous metal. Both ladies and gentlemen are invited toattend this lecture, which is given -without any charge for admission. ————————— Jurisdiction Involved. A suit of peculiar interest is now being heard in the United States Ciruit Court. It seems that some months ago W. J. Virgin and others of Ashland, Oregon, instiruted legal proceedings against Kdwin M. Corliss, in the matter of certain water rights claimed by the latter. The action came up for hearing before Juu'!a McKenna yesterday on & motion of de- fendant’s attorneys to_nonsuit, on the ground of no jurisdiction. Counsel for both sides made able arguments, at the conclusion of which Judge McKenna'took the matter under advisement. He will bably render a de- cision to-day, = X HOKEYMOON TRIP ON STOLEN BIKES It Was Planned by W. H. Smith and Adelie Laura Tucker. NIPPED IN TEE BUD. Just as They Were Going to Be Married Smith Was Arrested. GRAND LARCENY THE CHARGE. The Girl, Who Is Only Fourteen Years of Age, Will Be Sent to Her Parents in Santa Clara. Instead of getting married and spending their honeymoon on a bicycle tour, Wil- liam H. Smith, alias D. Banks, is in “the tanks” at the City Prison and Adelie Laura Tucker, a pretty girl, 14 years of age, is in the matron’s room, and will be sent home to her parents in Santa Clara. ‘What brought about this unhappy state of affairs was a dispatch that Chnief Crow- ley received on Monday from Chief Minto of Portland, Or. The dispatch asked him to arrest D. Banks, a passenger by the steamer from Portland, and secure two bi- cycles he had stolen from the Overman Wheel Company as evidence against him. Detectives Gibson and Wren were de- tailed on the case, and when they got to the wharf they founa the steamer had arrived and her passengers had all disem- barked. The two bicycles were, however, on board. One of Pinkerton’s men was also on the wharf looking for Banks, as they had receivea a dispatch from the Overman Wheel Company to arrest him. They remained on watch all day Mon- day and Tuesday, in the hope that Banks would call for the bicyeles. Tuesday afier- noon an expressman drove up to the steamer with an order for the wheels. The detectives spoke to him, and he said he had instructions to take them to a lodg- ing-house at Twelfth and Franklin streets, Oakland. The expressman got the bicycles and the three detectives crossed the bay with him. On reaching Oakland the Pinkerton man drove the wagon to the lodging-house, and Gibson and Wren took the cars, reaching there, as arranged, as the wagon drove up to the door. A young man came out and gave a receipt for the two wheels and was promptly placed under arrest. He dented knowing anything about the wheels, Then he said he bought them from a man on Market street, San Fran- cisco, and produced a bogus bill of sale. He also denied being D. Banks, and said his name was W. H. Smith. He showed a letter of recommendatior from the Pa- cific Manufacturing Company of Santa Clara, where he had been employed. The bluff did not work, and he finally ad- mitted having stolen the two bicycles. A young girl was with kimand’ he told the detectives she was his wife. They questioned her and she said she was not his wife, but they were to be married that afternoon. She showed a marriage license, which Smith had procured in Oak- land. It gave bis name as William H. Smith, age 22, and hers as Adelie Lanra Tucker, age 19. She admitted that she was only 14 years of age. She had known Smith when he worked for the Pacific Manufacturing Company. He telegraphed to her on Monday to come on to Oakland and they would get married. She started Tuesday morui:‘f without telling her parents and reached Oakland by the noon train. They were just pre- paring to go to a clergyman to get mar- ried when the detectives arrived. Smith and the gir! and the two bicycles were taken to the City Prison. He was locked up in “the tanks” and she was placed in the matron’s room. She said she could ride a bicycle nicely, and so could Bmith, and as soon as they got married they were to start East on their bicycles, but she did not know their destination. Chief Crowley yesterday morning wired to Chief Kidward of San Jose, who had been making inquiries about the girl, that she was in the City Prison, and Kidward replied that he would take her home to-day. Chief Minto of Portland was also noti- fied of Smith’s, alias Banks’, arrest, and he sent a reply that an officer wonld leave at once to take him back there. THE SPANISH MAIN, Earliest Use of the Term of Compara- tively Recent Date, ‘We write and talk glibly enough of the Spanish Main, but when did the phrase first come into use, and what was its ex- act geographical significance? The prev- alent idea, borrowed, we take it, from the aelightful romance of ‘“Westward Ho!” seems to be that the phrase was in com- mon use among the Elizabethan sailors to signify that\ part of the great American continent on which the Spaniards had ef- fected a settlement when we first broke into the Caribbean Sea; that is {o say, from Vera Cruz, in the Gulf of Mexico, to the delta of the Orinoco. But we cannot find that the phrase was in use at that time. In the pages of Hakluyt we read of the Main, of the Firm Land (which is, of course, a literal translation of the Spanish term ‘‘tierra firma’’), of ‘‘the ainland Coast, of the Coast, of the In- dies or of the West Indies; but of the Bpanish Main we have nowhere read. Nor have we been able to find 1t in the writers of the next centur; Dampier does not use it, nor Lionel Wafer, nor the translator of Exquemelin’s *“De America- ensche Zee-Roovers’: it is not to be founa in Morgan’s official reports cf his buceca- neering exploits, nor in Rongrose’s nar- rative, nor in Sharp’s. In the map en- graved for Dampier’s ‘“Voyages” (1729) the term Firm Land is employed to desig- nate the territory now occdpied by the republics of Venezueld and Colombia. The original Tierra Firma of the Span- iards, according to Ulloa, included only the provinces of Veragua, Panama and Darien, with the city of Panama for its capital. e may be in error, and certainly we do not profess that our researches have been exhaustive, but the earliest use we haye found of the term the Spanish Main is in “The Journal of Admiral James,” lately published by the Navy Records Society, where, on November 12, 1779, the Admiral notes that he “bore away for Truxillo, on the Spanish Main,” Truxillo being the port of Honduras.—Macmillan’s Magazine. e Mother Killed, Child in Arms Spared.
