senator Gray,s Argument ON the
Tariff Hin,


WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The Tariff bill
was taken up in the Senate this
afternoon, the pending question be-
lug on Mr.. Vests amendment reducing
the duty ON tinplates from 2 10 cents TO
l cent q pound (the existing rate), and
Mr.. Gray continued his argument against
the proposed increase In support of the
amendment. HiH opening ramarks turned
upon the marked decline in the price of
tin-plato for the last 10 years, and quoted
from David II. Wells Recent Economic
Changes" attributing tina. remarkable
steRdy decline" to the reduction of the
cost Of metal tin to the improvement in
the manufacture of iron and the substi-
tuition of steel for iron plates, and to
new processes In the manufacture OF tin.
Mr.. Gray argued against the proposed
increase Of duty. He pleaded the cause
of the owners OF small canning factories
in Delaware, Maryland New Jersey and
other states, and asked that the increased
taxation should not be taken out of their
pockets for the benefit Of bloated syn
dictate formed TO establish q manufacture
not nov existing, and whsre the work
waa to be done by imported Englishmen
and Welshmen.
Mr.. Gray put the Imaginary case of
tin plates coming into this country
entirely free Of cost and asked what the
Senator from Rhode Island and the Pitts
burg syndicate would sayRs to admitting
it, They would say ION the principle for
which tbey arc now contending) that it
should not be admitted; that free tim
plate was not blessing, but this reverse.
What sense, he asked, was thess in that,
what Justice, what fairness, what polit-
ical economy And that was the princi-
pie on which they were working.
In conclusion Mr.. Gray, appealed to
Republican senators, in Coda name, to
raine some portion of the peoples bar
den, instesd of increasing it; snd said
that il they did they would find the glad
faces Of their constituents welcoming
then--s reward which should be suti-
oient for the public servant wDo had tiled
faithfully to discharge his high trust and
duty.
The question of the prices OF tin plate
for the last 10 years was brought up
again by the reading OF telegram re-
ceiyed by Mr.. Gray from New York
firm of tinmakers, giving the price Of
case Of tin in January, 1880, at SO, and
in January, 1890, at $3.50.

An HncendiarY Fire discovered by
n Dog aud QIticuiy EXnmguished.
There 10 every indication that some
miscreant built fire in the cellar Of
Samuel Fellheimer's cigar store, No. 308
Market street, last night week, with the in
tention Of burning the house down. 1t was
discovered about 10 o'clock and at 1908
an alarm was sent out from box No. ~ ut
the city hall. The services of the FIRE
department were not required, as the
blaze, which had not made much head
way, was extinguished by about SO
buckets Of water.
There is O double cellar under The
store, with brick wall pierced by door
making the division. The fire originated
In the front of the rear cellar, which is
filled with tobacco boxes and cases and
other inhammAble material. A doos and
window in the rear of the cellar, which
are always left open until the store Is
closed, were shut when the fire was dis
covered. The door was blockaded with
boxes and the window fastened down with
stick, the evident intention being to
keep the fire smouldering until the store
had been closed and the family had re-
tired.
About 10 o'clock the attention Of
people in the store was drawn by the un-
easy bowling of young spaniel belong
ing to Mr.. Fellheimer, which was in the
back yard. On going to lind the cause
OF the dogs uneasiness smoke was dis
covered coming from the cellar and on
bursting in the door the flames broke
out. They were extinguished as has been
stated. The incendiary doubtless entered
from the yard and escaped the same way.
The engines attracted q large crowd OF
people TO the locality and Mr.. Fellheimer
is grateful to the police, Chief Engineer
Robinso2, and few friends who assisted
in keeping the crowd back and putting
ont the irs without material damage
iIom it or water.

ran MIsoALoULArIoN EXPLAIN 70


Telegraph Wire system.
The trouble ir regard to the alleged
excess of expenditure in the construction
of the Gaynor system OF police telegraph
is explained in the following manner.
When the bids were first asked for il was
stated by members of City Council to
the representatives of the various COM
peting companies that there existed in
the city about 10 miles OF fire alarm
wires. 1t was upon this basis that the
GGynor representative based his oompu,
tation Of IL miles of police telegraph
wire. Now it turns ont that there are
nearer 90 miles OF fra alarm wires in the
city. The new systems require slightly
more than half the length OF wires OF the
fire alarm which would accordingly re-
quire the construction of more like % or
rs miles Of police telegraph line con-
atruction instead Of 10. In addition,
since the arrangement of location OF
booths upon which the successful bidder
raade his computation the police COM
nnittee has placed additional boxes over
Third and Eleventh street bridges which
extension alone adds two or three miles
Of wire to the original plans upon which
the contract figures were based.
In regard to tho much discussed ques-
ton of the stables in connection with the
new police telegraph system what is
mainly desired 10 that the city own its
own stables for the obvious reason that
the connecting wires be permanently
placed at one location and the expense Of
continually changing and tearing up at
the within of the owner who may rent the
stable be saved to the city. All thinQs
considered, the general opinion is ex-
pressed that the best location for the
stables would be the old tumble-iown
structure Of the city tax building on s xth
ntYeet between Market and King.
