4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JANUARY 10, 1897. SKIRMISHES N PINAR DEL RID Huts, Camps and Planta- tions Burned by the Spaniards. Mexican, Mistaken for a Cuban, Brutally Murdered by Soldiers. Titles and D:corations Bestowed by the: Queen Regent—A Toadying Correspendent’s Reward. HAVANA, Cusa, Jan. 9, —Official ad- vices received here report a number of skirmishes by details from the commands of Generals Begura, Gasco and Melguizo in which the troops suffered small losses. Official reports also give particulars of the operations of Colonels Asino and Mar- tin inthe Pinar del Rio province, the troops having destroyed a large number of huts, camps and plantations, together with all of the rebels’ resources of provi- sions, munitions, etc., found therein. Soms of the camps were stoutly defended by the rebels, many of whom were killed. The report that Domingo de la Garza, a Mexican citizen, had been murdered by BSpanish troops in Guapabacoa on the occasion of the demonstration of Colonel Fondella is untrue. The Mexican Consul here says that De la Garza was killed in a drunken brawl and that no po- litical gignificance can be attached to his death. It can be stated positively that, although the authorities here officially deny the statement that the Mexican, Garza, re- ferred to above, was killed by soldiers in Guanabacos, and that they have obtained the acquiescence of the Mexican Consul to the denial, the man wés bratally mur- dered by soldiers for no other reason than that they thought he was a Cuban. General Arolas has arrived in Havana from Pinar del Rio. .It is said that he has been ordered to proceed to the central trocha, which extends from Jucura to Mo- ron, in the province of Puerto Principe. The Queen Regent has conferred upon Senor Don Prudencio Rabell, a prominent member of the reform party and man- g director of Diario de la Marina, the of Marquis Rabell. She has also conferred the great cross for naval ment upon the Mayor of Ha- vana, Senor Don Antonio Quesada; the great cross for military merit upon Senor Don Jose Maria Salveg, chairman of the autonomist party, and the cross for mili- tary merit upon the correspondent of a certain New York newspaper whose dis- patches always favor the Spanish cause and have created a decided impression in his favor among the military commanders here, who urged General Weyler to rec- ommend to the Queen Regent that he be honored for his services in the interests of Spain. . The Marquis de Apistguia, head of the constitutional party here, who has sought 10 have General Weyler recalled to Spain, will sail to-morrow for Spain. The correspondents of the Madrid Im- parcial and Heraldo, who were recently ordered by those journals to proceed to Porto Rico and await further instructions there, will leave to-morrow. Their leay- ing Cuba is due to the fact that the papers they represent were recently seized by the Madrid Government for exposing the mal- administration in the island and urging Weyler’s recall. TRIAL OF SOMEILLAN, Prosecuting Attorney Makes a BStrong Plea for His Conviction. HAVANA, Cusa, Jan. 9.—The trial of Luis Someillan, a naturalized American citizen, who is charged with conspiring against the Spanish Government, was con- tinued at 1 o’clock this afternoon, Official dutles prevented Consal-General Lee from being present, but he sent a representative to watch the proceedings in the interest of the accused. After the witnesses had con- cluded their testimony, which contained nothing material to support the charge against the prisoner, the Prosecuting At- torney made a long speech that was full of patriotic Spanish sentiment. He said he despised those citizens of the United States who had enrolled them- selves under the flag of a great and noble nation for the sole purpose of protecting themselves in their conspiracy againata power with which the United States was friendly. He declared that if the material charges against Someillan had not been clearly proved there was a moral conviction that he was guilty and was therefore deserving of being imprisoned for life. With much yehemence he urged the judges to remember Spain’s honor above all other considerations ana to de- cide the case according to their convictions. The court adjourned until Monday. sty aetere VALIANT TEXAS RANGERS. Defeat @ Large Spanish Force and Cap- ture the Commander, NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 9.—A special from Key West, Fla., says: The Texas Rangers in the Cuban Army have distin- guished themselves again by defeating a large force, capturing a provision train and making a prisoner of the commander of the Spanish escort. The fight took place last Friday, judg- ing by the date of the letter reporting it, near Osalario in Pinar del Rio province. The detail of 300 Spanish cavalry escort- ing the train was halted by a sudden fierce fire from a hillside. It was too steep to charge and the Bpanish replied as best they could, taking shelter on the opposite side of the road. Hardly had they done this when they were fired on from the rear, the Texans, who numbered only 160, ambushing both sidesof the road. The Spaniards then re- treated down the road. The Texans therenpon came out from one side, and with shouts for “Cuba Libre,” dashed in pursuit. When they were well out of their shelter the Spaniards turned, poured in a hot fire and then charged. The *‘Lone Star’”’, boys met them and the shock was terrific. Men were unhorsed, norses thrown down and men and beasts mixed, The second detachment of Texans came up at this moment and the Spaniards again retreated, capturing a lieutenant named Stone and placing him in the rear to prevent his comirades firing on them. The Texans, enraged at this, charged with such fierceness that they could not be withstood. The Spanish troops then ell back in disorder and Stone was recoy- ered. i Captain Pavinia, the Spanish com- | o’clock this evening the jury | $10,00. mander, fell from his horse wounded. He was instantly surrounded by the Ameri- cans, put on a horse and taken off the field before his troops could rally and suc- cor him. The Texans then went back to the train and carried it to Colonel Roger- ro’s camp in the hills. SENSATIONAL CASE DISPOSED OF. Mr. Kirkpatrick of Rochester Ac- quitted of the Charge of Imper- sonating an Officer. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Jan. 8.—At 5:30 impaneled to try the case of Rev. M. D. Kirkpatrick, who was under arrest charged with im- personating an officer, brought in a ver- dict of not guilty. The arrest and trial of Pastor Kirkpatrick had been one of the most sensational affairs that has ever at- tracted the attention of the police of the city. The man implicated is pastor of the Sec- ond Universalist Church, and a man of more than local reputation. On the 19th of last December Mrs. Aonie Adwen, who lives in a plock on Exchange street, com- plained to Officer Shane, who patrols that street, that she had been accosted by a man who represented himself to be & de- tective, and asked her to allow him to go with her to her room. When she refused he threatened to ar. rest her. She said the same man had on two previous occasions done the same thing. While the woman was talking with the officer the very man of whom they were speaking walked almost in front of them. Mrs. Adwen recognized him and pointed him out as the man who had caused her so much trouble. Officer Shane followed the man and stopped him and asked him what he meant by stopping women on the street and asking to be allowed to go to their rooms. He declined to state his motive in doing this, but at last said he wasen- gaged in getting up a series of sermons on the immorality of the city and that he was looking up the disreputable joints in the city for the purpose of getting mate- rial for his lectures. He then gave his card to the officer.” Three days afterward he was arrested on the oharge of imper- sonating an officer. The woman was not in court when the case was called and the prosecution swore they had reason to believe that the de- fense had spirited her away. There was plenty of excitement, but it was found that through the blunder of the officers the woman had been allowed to remain upstairs in charge of the matron. There was & loud laugh at the exvense of the of- ficers, The case was called Friday morning and occupied the attention of Judge Ernest all day. This morning it was taken up again and finished late this af- ternoon, when the jury brought in a ver- dict on the first ballot of not guilty. The defense practically amounted to a charge of conspiracy against the minister. There is talk of bringing charges against Lieu- tenant Zimmerman and Officer Shane tak- ing them before the Board of Police Com- missioners. Rev. o GENEEAL BOOTH'S EEPORT. Reviews the Work and Prospects of the Salvation Army. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 9.—In General Booth’s annual report on the work and prospects of the Salvation Army he says “that while we have not accom- plished all expected from us in this dark England of ours, we have gone beyond all expectation 1n other dark corners of the earth.” Perhaps the United States is one of the ‘“other dark corners’ to which he for the next sentence reads thus: irue that we have been so far thwarted with respect to the over- sea colony part of our scheme—the one link wanfing to complete it, by the selfish- ness and greed of men.” This is followed by the suggestion that a final effort wul be made from which much is expected: *'I have still, however, one generous offer awaiting further in- quiry, which is not likely to be affected by selfish and ignorant prejudice. Should that prove another disappointment, I must reconsider some of the generous offers that Lave been made elsewhere.” The reference here is understood to be an offer of land in Rhodesia which the General received some time ago from Cecil Rhodes, who has been & hearty supporter of the Salvation Army in South Africa. The trouble in the staie of affairs in Rbodesia has so far stood in the way of action in this direction, AL 48K5 FOR A RECEIVER. The Shores Iumber Company of Ashe land, Wis., Assigns. ASHLAND, Wis,, Jan. 9.—Because of an application made yesterday in the Cireuit Court yesterday for a receiver for the Bhores Lumber Company E. A, Shores and his sop, E. A. Shores Jr., made an assignment this morning to ex-Governor U pham, who filed a bond in the sum of $200,000. The Shores Lumber Company is the largest in this city, owning a fleet of boats. Both father and son are inter- ested in several mining and lumber enter- prises here, but it is said the assignment will not affect the solyency of these com- panies. Tle receivership application was made by a stocknolder, the Chequamagon Lumber Company. Governor Upham says the assignment was forced by the pressing of several small local claims, due to ill feeling. Mr. Shores Sr. places the assets at $155000 and the.liabilities at el sl Charged With Robbing His Clients. FORT SCOTT, Kax, Jan, 9.—Judge Jobn McDonald, a prominent lawyer of this city and a leading Kansas Populist, being an ex-member of the Board of Par- dons under Governor Llewelling, is ckbarged by his partners, Judge McCleav- erty and Hill, with embezzling $7000 or $8000 belonging to the irm and poor cli- ents in Crawford County. The money he secured from the Pittsburg Coal Mining Company in a number of damage suits brought by the survivors of miners who lost their lives in the terrible mine explo- sion at Frontenac, Kan., in 1888, B T Suit of Linbor Unions. LOUISVILLE, K., Jan. 9.—The labor unions df Louisville, headed by Cigar- meakers’ Union No. 3, this afternoon, through their attorney, ex-Chief Justice Hargis, broughbt suit against the Louisville Street Railway Company, the Mayor and the General Council, to force the city Gov- ernment to take away the streetcar com- pany’s franchises and force the reduction of fare to 2 cents, the placing of conduec- tors on cars and ve!tignles on the plat~ forms to protect motormen in winter. S d s i ZLiederkrans Society Banguet. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 9.—About 500 members and guests sat down to the banquet to-night of the Liederkranz Society, which is celebrating its fiftietn anniversary. Mayor Strong was present, and answered to the toast “Our City.” August Elegel, the German Consul-Gen- eral, responded to “The German Father- land.” Carl Schurz spoke to *Our Mother Tongue.” The President’s health was drunk, and all rased a glass of wine to the memory of the late William Steinway. Erni iy aresy An Exciting Execution. BROOKVILLE, Kv., Jan. 9.—Robert Laughlin was hanged here this morning for the murder of his wife and niece last February. The mob pulled down a fence inclosing the scaffoid. Noone was hurt, but considerable c_:xeiumem prevailed. SEMATOR PROCTOR WSITS MekILEY Three New Cabinet Possi- bilities Swing Into View. Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island Declines the Treasury Portfolio. Sherman Can Be Premier If He So Desires, and Will Probably Take the Helm. CLEVELAND, Oxo, Jan. 8.—Major Mec- Kinley had many callers from many parts of the country to-day and conferred with 2 number of prominent Republicans. His most conspicuous visitor was Senator Red- field Proctor of Vermont, ‘who arrived this afternoon from Washington and left {for the East on a late train to-night. Sen- ator Proctor lunched with Major McKin- ley and Mr. Hanna, Colonel M. T. Her- rick and C. G. Dawes at the Union Ulub in this city, ana then had a conference of several hours’ duration with the President- elect and Chairman Hanna. Bpecial at- tention was given to the New England situation, As an outcome of the interview with Benator Proctor three new Cabinet possi- bilities have swung into public view. They are ex-Governor John D. Long of Massa- chusetts, ex-Governor Dillingham of Ver- mont and General William F. Draper, one of the most active of the Massachusetts Congressmen. Ex-Governor Long and Mr, Draper are well kuown and ex-Governor Dillingham has a wide acquaintance 1n New England. Ex-Governor Long served in Congress with Major McKinley and General Draper is one of New England’s successful men of affairs. The chances are that one of these men will be selected for the Cabinet. Senator Aldricn of Rhode Island, who is talked of in connection with the Treas- ury portfolio, is hardly among the Cabinet possibilitles at present, for the reason that it is thought he could not be spared from the Benate, it is expected he will be charged with the management of the new tariff bill in that body. Major McKinley was informed to-night that the Ohio electoral college would call on him Tuesday next. General George B. Williams of Wash- ington was among Major McKinley's callers to-day. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 9.—The gossip connecting the name of Benator Aldrich of Rhode Island with the Secre- taryship of the Treasury is but a passing compliment to a man who is in every way fitted for the place, and who could fill it with great ability., Mr, Aldrich would not accept the secretaryship were it offered to him. This statement can be msde on absolute anthority. The latest name to be considered In connection with the treasuryship is that of Senator Cullom of Illinois, and there appears to be some ground for this talk. His position, while in the Senate was quietly discussed by his colleagues this morning, & number of whom advised that it would be well to keep Mr. Cullom in mind. It appears fo be practically settled that Senator Bherman is to be Becretary of State. He will leave for Canton Tuesday evening in response to a request from the President-elect, conveyed, it is under- stood, Thursday by Mr. Osborne, who was in the city for a. few hours on that day. Benator Sherman does not care to leave the Senate, but has intimated to some of his close friends that if M:r Me- Kinley insisted on drafting him into the service he would not feel that he could decline. Major McKinley will return from Cleve- land, where he is now, to his Canton home Tuesday night, and will have a conference with Mr. Sherman the next day. Every man of prominence who has recently re- turned from Canton brings with him the impression that Mr. McKinley has settled upon Mr. Sherman for his Premier, and that that Senator will accept when the time comes to give & final decision to Mr. McKinley’s requ B NATIONAL DEMOCRATS CONFER. Leaders Resolve to Keep the Party in the Political Field. CHICAGO, I, Jan. 9.—General S8imon B. Buckner of Kentucky presided over a conference of the leaders of the National Democratic party this afternoon in the Auditorium Hotel. A call of States brought responses from seventy-five rep- resentatives from Missouri, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota and In- diana. On taking the chair Mr. Buckner declared that the National Democratic party inaugurated at Indianapolis should follow its programme and begin a cam- paign of education at once which woald prepare the people for its services and win from them a strong indorsement. He could see no means of reconciling the Democracy and believed there could be no corsolidation so long as the old party stood on the Chicago platform and advanced its doctrines. Thomas B. Buckner, who spoke for Mis- EL , moved that Washington’s and Jef- ferson’s birthdays should be celebrated by the party assembling on those days in each State and perfacting the organiza- tion. This proposition met with unani- mous indorsement. The National Com- mittee was also asked to print last night’s speeches and the Indianapolis platform for general distribution. A motion to continue the party 1n the political field was carried enthusiastically. Sl HANSBROUGH THE WINNER, Will Again Represent North Dakota in the Benate. BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 9.—Senator Hansbrough will again represent North Dakota in the United States Senate. At the Republican caucus to-night sixty-six Re- pnblicans were present and it was known long before a ballot was taken that Hans- brough wotld win, Robinson and all of the other candidates except Francis hav- 1ng witbdrawn. The fatter, in fact, merely remained in_the field so that his friends from Cass County and Far.o could give him a complimentary vote. When tbe ballots were counted it was found that Hansbrough had received 48 votes, Francis 15, scattering 8. Hansbrough will be formally chosen United States Senator on Tuesday, January 19, —_—— DUBOIS' CH NCES IMPROVE. Idaho Demoorats and Populists Sl Unable to Pull Together. SALT LAKE, Uragm, Jan. 9.—In the Idaho Legislature the Democrats and Populists have determined to caucus sepa- rately, and there is little prospect at pres- ent of the breach between them being patched pp. The Dubois men are sanguine and all ifidications point strongly to their success. The Democrats have absolutely refused to support Claggett (P.), and some of his own party have gone back on him, so that to-night he is considered practically out of the race. Johnson is urged by the Democrats, but only a few of tga Populists are satisfied with him, and 1t looks very unlikely that the Democrats and Populists can agree upon any candidate. Neither Angell nor Cooper, Papulists, can command even the support of their own party, all of which goes to improve the chances of Dubois. e Judge Nathan Goff for Attorney-General. WHEELING, W. Va., Jan. 9.—In an in- terview this evening Hon. N. A. Scott, National committeeman from Virginia, confirmed the report that Judge Nathan Goff of this State would be the Attorney- General in Major McKinley’s Cabinet. ‘When questioned as to the correctness of the rumor placing Judge Goff in Attorney- General Harmon®s place, Mr. Scot. said: *The report is bqumeI correct. Judge Goff has been asked 10 take the Attorney- Generalship and has accepted.” CHICAGO’'S BOLD BANDITS. Three Armed Men Beat a Saloonkesper to Unconsciousness, Rob His Till and Make Their Escape. CHICAGO, I, Jan. 9.—Three men armed with revolyers held up a saloon in State street, Chicago’s busiest thorough- fare, at half-past 8 to-night, knocked the proprietor unconscious, robbed the till of the day’s receipts, walked out the front door and escaped, I The saloon was well filled with cus- tumers when the thiee robbers enterea the place. The highwaymen walked up to the bar and ordered the bartender, Alexander Lewis, who is also proprietor of the place, to hand over the contents of the money-drawer. Lewis refused and was reaching under the bar for his pistol when he was struck on the back of the head with a revoiver and fell to the floor. Oneof the men ran behind the bar and empted the cash-drawer of $50 into a little sack, while the other two kept the terrorized crowd from giving the alarm. When all was ready the men backed out slowly, and mingling with the throng in the busiest part of Chicago’'s Bowery made their escape. The whole transac- tion occupied less than five minutes. — SEKIOUS TROUBLE 1BREATENED. Striking Miners at Eutland Wrought Up 10 @ Desperate Pitoh. OTTAWA, IiL, Jan. 9.—The situation at the Rutland village coal mine is prac- tically unchanged. A crowd of miners gathered on the principal street this fore- noon, and, after being addressed by an agitator, who advised bloodshed, ad- vanced upon the mine. The troops, un- der Lieutenant Hardin, waited until the miners had advanced within 100 feet of the buildings, when he commanded them to halt, and was instantly obeyed. After hooting at the guards, the mob returned to the village, a quarter of a mile distant. The miners are parading the streets almost constantly, and nearly every one of them has & weapon concealed upon his person. The miners were part- ly quieted at noon by a promise from Manager Hakes of the coal company that he would probably settle the question of their wages and grievances on Monday. Sauads of sympathizers and miners are expected in Rutland from surrounding towns to-morrow, and serious trouble may oceur. e 4 S GOTHAM CLUB ATTRAOTIONS. Features of the Seeley Dinner Which the Police Interrupted. NEW YORK, N. Yy, Jan. 9..—At to-day’s proceedings in the hearing of the charges against Police Captain Chapman for raid- ing the Seeley dinner Belle Moore, who danced ‘at the Grotto in Chicago during the World’s Fair and who is the principal witness. for Captain Chapman, testified that she had been asked by Theatrical Agent Phipps to dance withoat tights at the dinner, but refused. She admitted that she had afterward written to Mr. Phipps offering to do her regular dance in costume, Lottie Morton, a singer and dancing soubreite, said she performed at the din- ner and that after doing her turn some of the guests pulled her about the room, but took no liberties with her. Minnie Renwood, who appeared at the dinner, made a travesty on Trilby, de- scribed her costume and the part she took. An adjournment was taken until Tues- day. Sl DECLINES APROFFERED BENEFIT Herrmann’s Widow Says She Can Make Her Way in the World. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 9.—Many of the friends of the late Professor Herr- mann lately sent to his widow a letter expressing their sympathy in her be- reavement, and offering her a testimonial benefit performance. Yesterday Mrs, Herrmann replied, thanking the signers of the letter but declining the proffered benefit. * I appreciate their kindness,” she said, ‘‘but as long as I can make my own way I prefer to do it. Leon Herrmanm, my husband’s nephew, has arrived now, and we shall resume our tour scon. The managers of theaters in which my hus- band was booked this season have all been very kind, and have written me their willinvness to give me and Leon Herr- :}Bnn the same time and terms they gave im. ‘1 shall try to keep my home at White- stone, but our private car and my hus- band’s horses I shall dispose of.” iRt No Truce in the Warfare. TOLEDO, Oxro, Jan. 9.—A. M. Woolson of the Woolson Spice Company said to- day that from what he had just learned there will be no truce between the suear trust and the Arbuckles, and that the two companies will continue to overate inde- pendently of each other. It was stated yesterday by Mr. Woolson that he would not be surprised to see a cession of hos- tilities. This was met by denial from New York to-day that any compromise was contemplated. oAb Poolrooms Will Again Flourish, ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 9.—Poolrooms will again flourish in thiscity. In the court of criminal correction to-day, where ““Texas’ Tom Walsh was on trial, Judge Murphy ruled that there was no law in Missouri to prohibit or punish for pool selling. This victory of the bookmakers is thought to be only temporary, as the sitting State Legislature hus under consid- eration a law prohibiting pool selling. g Nebraska’s Presidential Electors Meet, LINCOLN, Nesr., Jan. 9.—Nebraska’s eight Presidential Electors selected on the Bryan and Sewall-Watson ticket met to-day at the State Capitol and organized by electing a chairman and secretary. Op Monday the formal vote of the Electors for President and Vice-President will be cast. It isreported to-night that instead of being four and four for Watsor and Sewall, as agreed upon, there will be six for Watson and two for Sewall. mifi i n it Two Big Liners Delayed. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 9.—The big liners—Paris of the American line and the Lucania—are somewhat behind schedule time, yet there is no cause for anxiety for their 'safety. The Lucania’s departure from Queensiown on Sunday last was de- layed several hours on account of a storm, the easterly end of which had justreache the Irish coast. Neither vessel had been sighted up to midnight, STILL DEVISING - WAYS AND MEANS A Session Devoted to Iron and Lead Ores and . the Metals, fan Bernardino Mines That Have Been Closed for Want of Protection. Reduction of Wages Alone Has Per. mitted the Tinplate Industry to Live. * o R WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 9. — The hearing before the Ways and Means Com- mittee to-day was devoted to iron and lead ores, metals and manufactures thereof. The report of Mr. Draper on be- half of the manufacturers of machinery in New England was presented without comment on their request for & restora- tion of the McKinley rates of duty on their product. W, H. Alexander of Omahs, Nebr., sug- gested the following modification ot the present paragraph in the law relating to lead ores: “‘All ores of which lead is a component part shall be dutiable at the rate of three-quarters of 1, cent per pound on the lead countained therein."” He thought this provision would ac- complish the full purpose of the revenue and be equitable to all concerned. He did not quarrel with the rate of duty in the present law, the chief features of modification being the elimination of the misleading terms, ‘‘lead ores'’ and ‘“silver ores.” John D. Davis of California said there were immense bodies of galena ore in San Bernarcino County, California, awaiting development. The industry bad been started under the McKinley bill, but had been forced to suspend under the present law. Thousands of tons of thisore had been taken from the mines and placea on the dumps ready for delivery, and if pro- tection was given these mines wounld again be worked. He advocated a duty of 1 cent per pound on lead ore. Representative Herman of Oregnn ap- pealed for a duty of 10 cents per pound upon nickel in order to allow the develop- ment of our nickel mines. R. M. Thompson, a nickel refiner of New York, said that Mr. Herman was in error regarding the prospects of the mines of the United States. He had had experts examine the mines referred to by Mr. Herman and found that they could not be made to pay even with adequate protec- tion. Stevenson Burke, presiaent of- tne Ca ada Copper Company, seid that the min he represented were developed by Ameri- can capital, and owned by a corporation incorporated under the laws of Ohio. In order to have the Government and the people of the United States get the benefit of nickel armor the company had sold to the Secretary of the Navy nickel at 11 centsper pound. Just previous to this a French company paid 22 cents for the same product. The company had sug- gested nickel armor, and desired to have its armor demonstrated. If the mines re- ferred to in this country existed they did not need protection. He m:luuted that their owners be allowed to develop them and erect refineries, H. J. Cantwell of Missouri, speaking for an association of Missouri lead miners, said the law could not be properly en- forced, and complained of the smelting of the ores in bond. Senator Carter of Montana requested and was ziven permission to prepare and present later a paper on. silver and lead ores. : ‘William A. Ingham of Philadelphia; on behalf of the Bastern pigiron association, asked for the restoration of the McKinley rates of duty on pigiron. J. N. M. Shimer of Philadelphia asked for the restoration of the McKinley rates on pigiron and indorsed the scuemes of Mr. Ingham. J. C. Thropp of Everett, Pa., thought the present duty on pigiron was adequate now, but if a fair market and fair prices should prevail it would attract the foreign roduct then the duty would not be suf- gcient. Competition would keep the prices ‘here at a normal figure and protect the consumer. ‘W. C. Cronemeyer of Pittsburg, & repre- sentative of the plate industry, asked for an increase of from one-eighth to one- balf cent on various grades and & new clause to cover plates below No. 32 wire gauge, which were manufactured here and needed protection. . After the passage of the Wilson bill it became necessary to reduce the wages of workmen from 10 to 25 per cent. Tin- plate-makers desired the repeal of the drawback clause of the present law. Eighty per cent of all drawbacks paid by the treasury was on tinplate, great quanti- ties of which were imported because of the drawback. 2 John Jarret of Pittsburg, also a tinplate. maker, said that one of the most import- ant questions to the industry was the drawback feature. Replying to questions he said that the reduction of wages, to- gether with the decreased cost of steel billets, had alone vermitted the industry to live under the Wilson law. The work- men had paid for the reduction of the daty. R?T. Bmith of Baltimore, representing the Canned Goods Exchan:e of thatcity, argued against any increase of duty on tinplates. . Thomas Hunter of New York State, representing the sporting-gun manufac- turers of the Btate, said the domestic makers were fully able to supply the de- mands of the home market, provided they had protection. R. E. Hastings of Philadelphia, speak- ing for the workers of silver and gold leaf, aluminum and Datch metal, all used for decorating purposes, desired a duty to cover the difference in the cost of labor here and abroad. The commi‘tee adjourned until Mon- day, which will be the last day of the hearings, when various schedules, includ- ing sundries and the free list, will be taken up. ENDEAVORS’ RAILROAD FARES. Rate From New York to San Framoisco Will Probably Be $75. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 9.—It is now practically settled that the rgilway fare from New York to san Francisco during the national convention of the United Societies of Christian Endeavor, which meets in the latter city in July of this year, 1s to be §75. The passenger agents bave been consulting for the past week, but could come to r.o definite conclusion, owing to the non-action of the Western passenger agents. It may be that a rate of $70 will be agreed on at anoiher meet- ing during the coming week. Whatever the rates agreed on, tickets will give an option on all lines, including different ones going and returning. Secretary Baer has sent letters to all trustees of the united societies asking for uggestions as. topics and names of speakers, and hopes to make this the best rogramme ever arranged. The reason B oie to the Ficifis Gonst thifh yedr is to help Endeavor work there. At first it was thougnt t at the San Francisco meeting, owing to the distence, might prove less well attended than usual, but it is found that many of the brightest men who stayed away from recent con- ventions because of the crowds attending them are planning to go to San Francisco. - DYNAMITING AT TAMPA. Citizens Attempt {o Abate a Nuisance by Blowing Up a Dcm, and a Battle Results. TAMPA, Fra., Jan. 9.—The city has been full of sensations the past two days. Friday morning people whose property was injured by backwater thrown out by the consumers’ company power station on Hillsborough River attempted to blow out the dam at the old station. After- ward a regular fusillade occurred between the guards and the dynamiters. It was thought they would not try it again, but last night, as one of the guards wassitting at the east end, he taw the forms of several men peering out into the darkness against the river bank on the other side. Boon the dynamiters opened fire on the guards, which was returned, but in the darkness the shots went wide of the mark. The officials of the city were notified by wire, and Captain Jones and Officer Carter of the police force went post haste to the scene. When they arrived all was quiet, and this morning they returned home. g e i < TANNER'S INAUGURATION. Extraordinary Arrangements for the Event at the lllinois Capital—A Dearth of Sleeping Quarters. SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Jan. 9.—The State capital is filling up with visitors thus far in advance of the inauguratiop of Gov- ernor-elect Tanner on Monday. All the Indications point to an immense throng, and where one-half of it will sleep, unless the railroads can move it out of town be- fore nightfall of Monday, is a question.
