HIGHTARIFF WANTED
Glass Workers Send Out Petitions In
dorsing McKinley's Bill.
TO SHUT OUT ENGLISH CUT WARE.
The Attempt to Organize a Builders
League Unsuccessful.
LABOR HAPPENINGS OF YESTERDAY

The American Flint Glass Workers
Union will take hand in the tariff agita-
tion. Yesterday the officers of the associa-
tion in this city sent out thousands OF
petitions to the different local unions
throughout the country, in regard to the
Mckinley bill. The petitions were ad-
dressed to Congressman and Senators. and
were sent to the local unions for the sigma
lures of the members of the organization.
In the petition President Smith requested
the secretary of each local union to secure
the names OF as many members as possible
and forward the petition with the names TO
the Congressman Of the district, asking him
to present the names when the tariff bill
comes up in the House. The petition inn
plores the Congressman to support the bill,
and to use all means at their command to
have it passed in its present shape. In
speaking of the matter Yesterday, President
Smith, of the association, said
"The proposed Mckinley bill would
make material increase in the tariff on
glassware, and we would like to see it
passed. The schedule drawn up by Mr..
Mckinley is an improvement on the present
law, and it would be OF great benefit to the
glass trade il it was passed. The glass Dusi-
ness in this country has reached such
stage that 1t is not necessary to import any
thing. We make as good cut glass in
America as can be turned ont in any Of the
old houses in England. The factories at
Phillipsburg and New Brighton, in Beaver
county, can hold their own in cut glass with
any factory in the world.
"Four-ftths of the heavy cut ware trade
in this country is supplied by the domestic
manufacturers. Fine blown goods and bot
ties are still being imported in large guam
titles, and if we had tariff high enough to
make the importation improbable we would
kill off this trade. AS natural result
there would be more work for the American
cut glass manufacturers. We can do just
as good work as the Europeans, and there is
no good reason for any cut glass being i'm
ported into this country. The factories
competing with the English manufacturers,
in addition to the two mentioned above, are
at White Mills, Philadelphia; Meriden.
Conn; New Bedford, Mass; Toledo, o. and
Corning, N. j. We will not only sign Pc
titions for the bill, but will do everything
we can to have it passed."
The agitation about the tariff on tin plate
has been somewhat allayed by the announce
ment that, under the new bill, the duty on
all gauges of tin is about ~ cents pound.
Eastern sheetiron manufacturers asked for
a uniform rate, and under the change the
schedule is perfectly satisfactory to the
Western members of the Tin Plate Associa-
tion.

WOULDN'T RELEASE THE BIRD.
A Desperate Struggle to Preserve Part OF
the BigeIow Menagerie.

Desperate Struggle to Preserve Part Of
the BigeIow Menngerie.
Hon. John O'Neill started out yesterday
in buggy. with Hoaky Dermion, to convey
Roger" the bald eagle he had donated to
Mr.. Bigelow's menagerie, to Schenley Park.
The eagle took one glance at the blue vault
of heaven, and then spread his wings for
flight. This was not in accordance with the
programme laid out, and Messrs. O'Neill
and Dermion attempted to restrain him.
The bird made vigorous fight, and the
struggle in tn. buggy scared the horse SO
that he ran away.
The gentlemen were in dilemma. IF
they attempted to stop the horse the eagle
would escape, and if they allowed the horse
to keep on they might both be killed. They
decided to stick to the bird of freedom. The
horse kept on along Forbes street, nearly
overturned the buggy in ditch, and several
times grazed ireplugs. the eagle screaming
and fighting all the while. Finally the
horse became tired and stopped, and the
bird was secured, but not before it had Bit
ten Mr.. O'Neill in the calf and taken
chunk out of his pants. The eagle was
placed for the present in one of the vacant
farm houses in the Park.

GLASS MANUFACTURERS TO MEET.

The Carpenters' strike Has Pra cticnlIy Par.
nlyzed the Window Business.
A general meeting of the window glass
manufacturers throughout the country will
be held in Chicago. Wednesday next. 1t is
expected that every manufacturer In Pitts
burg will be at the meeting. The most i'm
portant business to come up will be a dis
cussion on the outlook. Efforts will be
made to prevent the market from breaking.
The manufacturers think the market will
go down if something is not done quickly to
prevent it.
The carpenters strike in Chicago and
other places has practically paralyzed the
window glass trade in the West. When
building operations cease, jobbers are una
BILE to sell glass, and the manufacturers in
order to sell their products must necessarily
cut prices. So far nothing has been done in
this direction in the present case, but it is
expected daily. At the meeting efforts will
be made to stiffen the weak-kneed manu-
facturers and show them the necessity of
sticking out for the card rates.
1t is also getting near the time for the an
nual meeting before going out of blast, and
the next seasons business will be discussed.

be Decided in This Way.
Rev. d. E. Kempshall, Judge Wilson
and DR.. w. H. Roberts, three of the COM
mittee of five appointed BY the General AS
sembly of the Presbyterian Church, to
look into the constitutional methods by
which the question of revision can be set
tied, met in the parlors of the Anderson
Hotel yesterday. E1-Justice Strong and
DR.. Seftwich were absent.
DR.. Kempshall, who hasn't any doubt
in his mind that revision will come, said
that the committee had discussed the various
plans and had prepared report to be read
at the General Assembly meeting in Sara
toga. In the meantime the press and peo-
pie must be patient, Ior nothing will be
given out until then. DR.. Kempshall be-
lieyes that more than two-thirds of the pres
byteries will favor revision, of those that
have already voted, the vote stands about
126 to 60. He holds that when any changes
are made in the doctrines of the church, it
should be done by a two-thirds vote, hut
mere questions O. government and rules
ought to be decided by the majority.
The report will be submitted to the other
two members Of the committee for their ap-
proVal or disapproval.

LETTING THE CONTRACTS.
Meeting of Directors Of the Pittsburg and
Birming ham Road.


The directors of the Pittsburg and Bir-
mingham road met yesterday at the Du-
quesne Hotel, and let the balance of the
contracts for the electric road. Murray
Werner was present, from Rochester. The
directors couldn't decide what system they
would adopt, but it is understood they are
holding the road for a local company. The
road will be put IN shape first, and then the
system will be selected.
Mr.. Werner said the contract for cars had
not been let, but without doubt Gilbert, of
Troy, will make them. There will be 80 of
them, 30 feet in length, just 2 feet larger
tnan the traction cars in use in the city, and
they will be so made that any system can be
applied. The Standard Underground Cable
Company gets the contracts to furnish all
the roads OF the syndicate with insulated
wire. This includes the Rochester, Louis
vile, Buffalo and local roads.
The Rochester end of the syndicate also
met, and finished up some business that had
been neglected. R. w. Clay, Horace Ma
gee, T. De Witt Cuyler, of Philadelphia; j.
N. Beckley and II. Huetchford, of Roches-
ter, and H. Sellers Mckee and Murray
Werner were present. Mr.. Clay said all the
bonds had been placed in the East, and the
electric system was being pat in. He thinks
there is money in the street railway busi-,
ness, but he added that much depends on
what is paid for it in the first place.
