china Will Retallate.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 22.-The Chinese
community here has received what is
alleged to be genuine copy of an
imperial proclamation requiring that
on or before the 18th day of the fifth
moon of the present year MAY 15),
all subjects of the Tai Tszng Empire
tChina) now residing in the United
States of America return home, and
instrncting them that upon applica-
ton to their COnsuls free transporta-
ton will be provided them from any
part of the United States to any part
of the Chinese Empire, except the
provinces of Tuong Tung. whose Cit
liens, because of superior numbers,
are required to pay half-fare.
The proclamation, while 1t embod-
les no threats, broadly intimates that
the Chinese Government intends to
speedily retaliate upon the American
export trade and American residents
In China for the lOng-continued out
RACES upon the Chinese in this coun-
try. The design, if carried out, will
destroy an annual export of S90.000.-
600, and expose 5000 Americans to
the terrors of imperial prosecution.
Most of the 5000 Cinnamon in this
country are expected to obey the
proclamation.
Prominent Chinese residents of
Chicago claim that no information
concerning the proclamation has been
received. and the truth of the report
is doubted. Advices from New
York and Washington are to the
same effect.

A benevolent Quaker induced him

short relapse into drunkenness, but
an eloquent confession restored him
to favor and he lectured at various
places in America with great success.
In 1858 he was engaged by the Lon
don Temperance League to lecture
two years in the United Kingdom,
where he drew large crowds by his
earnest, and, by turns, amusing and

State of Trade.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Feb. d.
The industrial situation In the New
England and Middle states is stronger
than six days ago. AS many as 10, 900
men that were idle a week ago are
either employed or are instructed to
report for work. Wages generally
have been advanced from 8 to 10 per-
cent. Meanwhile orders have been
crowding In from travelling agents
from distributing centers, and from
buyers generally, and the indications
point to a more active March than a
year ago. All kinds of building ma
terial will be contracted for next
month at about last years prices. No
further advance is likely to take place
in iron, steel or lumber. a fact which
is regarded with much favor by
builders, projectors, investors and
others. 1t was apprehended a short
time ago that between the advanced
cest of material and the higher price
of labor, together with the movement
OF an eight or nine hours day would
work to the disadvantage ofthe build
ing interests and to the spirit of en-
terprise generally. But thus far no
unf4vorable results have been realiz-
ed, and the spirit of confidence exists
In all directions.
Manufacturers generally are well

bination anticipates a settlement in
few days. The bituminous coal in

percent in consumption with an i'm
provement in price.

light machinery report quite an en-.

light appliances. The manufacturers
of small machinery for railroad Shops
machine shops and small manufacture

The demand for finished iron and

owners are filling orders at 81 60 to

for nails; 81 90 for plate iron; 3.5 to

production agreed upon Is nearly ABB

ED. REPUBLICAN The House

case between John Y. Graham and
James Green of Caroline county. The
case was reported q tie and so far
neither of these gentlemen had occu-
pied a seat in the House. The ma

Elections, signed by six members,
was that the case was tie and that
according to the constitution the
Speaker of the House of Delegates
should issue warrant for a new
election. The minority report made
no recommendations. but reported
that two ballots had been cast up for
Green. the Republican candidate. with
simply the name Green. and one for
Graham, the Democratic candidate.
with only the name Graham, conse.

ballots. Graham would have one ma.

The Morrison Bill.
Philadelphia Press.

Pnllndelpnla PreSS.
James w. Swank, Secretary of the
American Iron and Steel Association,
was found in his Office to. day husily
comparing the new Morrison tariff
bill with the old Morrison tariff bill,
and he did not seem particularly we'll
satisfied with the results he arrived
at. He said:
"This new bill. / find, is much
more sweeping in its reduction than
we were led to believe would be the
case by the newspaper reports. Mr..
Morrison does not seem to have gone
along in his former sweeping hori-
zontal 30 percent indiscriminate style.
He seems to have made an effort to
exercise some discretion, but to my
mind ne has not succeeded. / find,
in going over the bill. that the duty
on steel rails is reduced from SIT to
$3.50 per ton.
THAT is ruinous and the manufac-
turers certainly cannot stand 1t. Then,
too, pig iron and wrought. cast and
scrap iron are cut down from 1912 to
$500. Iron ore, the duty on which is
rs cents per ton, is placed on the free
list. If the bill becomes law in its
present shape the effect of these re-
auctions will be most severely felt.'
SIS relief granted in any instan.
ces ?"
"In none that / have discovered.
The tin-pIate industry needs relief
very badly. yet none Is afforded and
the duty remains the same as at pres
emit cent per pound. The cotton
tie manufacturers ought to be aided
in some way, but the duty is left at
IS percent. The manufacturers of
sheet tin fare no better, although the
duty on the material they use is al
ready too low to be protective. But
the most Objectionable feature of the
bill is contained in the clause. which,
l have been informed. has been in
serted at the end of the metal sched-
ule.
ut provides that after December 81
no duty on iron or steel shall exceed
so percent of the foreign value. This
is practical abandonment of specific
duties and will work great harm. 1t
means practically this. that the
cheaper steel rails, for instance, can
be manufactured in England. the less
will be the duty imposed upon them.
Therefore. the danger of competition
is greatly increased"
"What will be done to oppose the
bill?"
"Whatever is done will be with
concert of action. I would like you
to say for me that 80 far as I have
heard, and I have information from
many sources, the bill will be Oppos.
ed firmly at every step by the iron
and steel manufacturers. There is
no intention in any quarter. as has
been rumored. to accept any of the
rates offered in the Morrison schedule.
A committee Of prominent manufac.
turers has already been selected to 20
to Washington to oppose by all the
legitimate means in their power the
passage of the new tariff.
