MORE DUTY ON FLINT GLASS.

Pittsburg Manufacturers Say Their Business
is Not Sufficiently Protected.
WASHINGTON, January 19.-At a par
tial hearing before the Senate Finance
subcommittee on the tariff of the repre-
sentatives of the flint glass trade, the
manufacturers were represented by Messrs
D. C. Ripley and George w. Blair, Presi-
dent and Secretary of the American Flint
Glass Association, and w. S. Smith, Presi-
dent of the Flint Glass Workmen's Associa-
tion, appeared in behalf of the workmen.
All of the gentlemen are from Pittsburg.
The Finance sub Committee requested the
glass representatives to prepare briefly a
statement of what they desired and submit
it in writing, which they did to-day.
They state that the flint glass industry is
insuficiently protected. To cite number
of cases relating to glass shades, globes,
tumblers, wine glasses, etc., they compare
importers and manufacturers prices as
follows: Opal shades at importers prices
are 81 % per dozen; cost to American manu-
faeturers, 81 O5 per dozen. Table tumblers,
importers price, "a cents per dozen; cost to
American manufacturers, AZ cents. Ger
man stained lamp chimneys, foreign, 16
cents per dozen; American, 80 cents. In
connection with these figures, the committee
say:
In this schedule the committee will easily see
what extreme odds are against our trade, and
while we do not expect fully adequate protec-
tion we trust that you will appreciate the
gravity of the situation. We respectfully re-
quest that you grant as duty 20 per cent ad
valorem on the accompanying schedule, includ-
ing sections 100 and ITO (Which relate to fancy
glassware, cut bottles, etc.. This rate duty
will not, by any means. give us full relief, as
you can readily see but it will help us very
materially and is perhaps all we should ask for
at present. We believe specific duty on these
glass goods would be the principal method of
affording relief. In regard to cut glass
ware and shades we would call your
attention to the fact that this branch of the
glass industry has been on the wane for several
years. Such long-established houses as the
NJ eriden Flint Glass Comgany and the Boston
and Sandwich Glass Company having gone out
of the business and both their plants standing
idle, fact largely if not wholly. due to the
low prices at which imported goods have been
selling in our markets, the difference in i'm
ported and American prices being entirely due
to the difference in the wages paid in foreign
and the wages paid by our own man.
ufacturers.
The statement is signed by Messrs. Ripley
and Blair for the manufacturers, and Mr..
Smith for the workmen.

A LIE OUT SOMEWHERE,
Two Famous Artists Can't Agree az 20
Which Slapped the Other.

rBY CABLE TO THE pIsPATCH.l
LONDON, January 19.-I have received a
copy of letter sent to the editor of Inde-
pendence Beige, in which the artist William
Stott denies the version given by Whistler
to their row at the Hogarth Club Whistler,
who is a small man, and not of physique
that would be ordinarily thought powerful
one, says that he slapped Stott thoroughly
and threw him out because Stott had called
him liar and other things. Stott, in his
letter, says that Whistler proves the charge
made against him by his version OF the
affair.
1t was Whistler, says Stott, who was
slapped and otherwise injured, and Stott
gives him credit for taking his lesson more
gently than he could have hoped. Stott
writes from Paris, so that if Whistler wishes
to slap him any more as punishment for
his last accusation he will have to make a
journey. The location would be favorable
one to bring off the duel which has been

LONDON, January 19.-Frank Millet,
whom everybody in America knows, isgoing
home in few days, and on Thursday
lot of artists and others assembled
at the Art Club, where they
fed him very lavishly, and expressed
their sorrow in concert. Alma Tadema, Sir
James Leighton, President of the Royal In
stitute; Alfred Parsons, James R. Osgood,
Edwin A Abbey, Colin Hunter G. Carr
and John Sargent were among those who
made speeches bewailing Millet's departure,
but congratulating the English artists on
the temporary diminution of the competi-
ton that was grinding them down.
Mi1let, who divides his time between
America and England, working hard in
both places, has been detained here this
year by numerous commissions for portraits,
that of Lord Sudley among others, and by
work upon his next years picture for the

DOWN AND OUT.
Rattling Mill Between Couple of Col.
ored Middle-weiphts

Ored Weights.
A spirited boxing match took place at
Browns Comique at . o'clock on Saturday
morning, lasting for eleven rounds. The
contestants were George Turner-said to be
cousin of the well-known Stockton mid
-weight-and William Mcpherson, both
colored. The men weighed about 100
pounds each, although Turner had the
advantage in hight and reach. Heis quick
on his feet, has considerable science and
muscle, and is a rapid two-handed fighter.
Mcpherson, though somewhat shorter
than his antagonist is powerful built
fellow, remarkably hard hitter and good
wrestler. He did most of his lighter work
with his left, and carried his right in rather
awkward position, and was very slow in its
use. But when he found an opening and
got in swinging blow with it, he did ter
rible execution.
The place is poorly fitted for match of
this kind, as the stage is narrow and the
| floor very slippery. Several times the men
| slipped and fell during the match. Medi-
um-sized gloves were used, although the
| tip had gone round that the men were to
| chosen for referee and each of the young
pugilists was attended by the usual trio OF
| bottle holders rubbers, ETC.
There was considerable heavy work done
| in the first few rounds, Mcpherson scoring
| the first square knock down by flooring
Turner in the latterS corner with terri
| BILE right-hand swinging blow which caught
| him on the right ear. Had it landed on the
head of white man the fight would have
ended in the third round. In the several
rushes and clinches that occurred, Turner
was invariably thrown heavily. The men
worked for each others heads almost ex-
clusively, but few body blows being
struck.
Notwithstanding the severe slugging that
characterized the match, neither man
showed the slightest evidence of punish
ment until the eleventh round, when Nc
Pherson rushed Turner against the rear
wall ard pasted him severely on the side
| of the head. Turner, unable to Withstand
| the terrible rush of Mcpherson, and some.
what ratified by the blow, attempted to slip
| to the floor, but Mcpherson caught him
when about halfway down with, and
rained blows on either side of his head, and
Turner dropped in heap. He lay motion
| less for some time, but was got into his
corner before the ten seconds were up. His
assistants did their best to revive him, Blu,
| when time was called he was Just able to
stagger to the center and offer his hand to
Mcpherson in token of his defeat.
| 1t was found that Turner had badly
sprained his right wrist, and there was tall
of some of the bones being fractured. Nc
Pherson was fresh at the finish, and showed
little or no signs of punishment.

SATURDAYS GAME.
The Sacramento Club Defeated by the
San Franciscos.

About three thousand people witnessed
the game OF ball on Saturday at San Fran
cisco between the Sacramento and San
Francisco combinations. A close and ex
citing game was anticipated, owing to the
act that the Capital City boys had beaten
the Oaklands on the Thursday previous,
but it proved to be all one-sided, with the
Sacramento club underneath. Hapeman
pitched very well at the start, but after the
third inning the Bay club commenced to
start the ball rolling. and it kept on the
roll pretty much during the remainder OF
the contest. 1t proved a little too much to
call on Hapeman for two games in so short
a time. and he allowed his opponents fif-
teen base-hits, some of them triples and
two-baggers.
Sylvester, Veach, Krehmyer and New
bert did the honors in the batting line for
the Sacramentos, each securing base-hit.
Levy. of the San Francisco nine, lined out
three two-base Lifts during the game, and
made q remarkable running catch from
veach's bat, which brought forth tremen-
dous applause.
During the game Krehmyer uninten-
tionally threw his bat aside. but in such a
way as to catch SWEET square in the chin,

and Then Abandoned.
A neatly-clad, bright-faced boy of good
address, who gives his name as Ralph
Gresham, called at this Office last evening
and told pitiful story concerning himself.
He is 16 years of age. He says his parents
are dead, and that he went to work on a
farm near Port Jervis, n. Y, for two men
named John Perigo and Fred. Dillman !;
that they sold their farm and started for this
coast to sell lot of horses. and engaged
him to come with them. Some of the
horses they sold at Los Angeles, and some
at Stockton, arriving with the remainder in
this city on Thursday last.
They paid for the boys lodging at the
Grand Hotel for that night, and told him to
meet them the next morning. He went to
the place designated, but the men did not
show up, and he has not since laid eyes on
them. He says they owe him for his last
weeks services, and have abandoned him
here in strange city, thousands of miles
from home and penniless.
The lad-who tells straight story and
has the address of one who has been well
reared-says he is willing to work. and is
DESTROYS of finding employment. He under
stands the care of horses, but prefers en-
ployment in private family. He prom
