WILL SEND THE TIN HERE.
Col. Fitzhugh Says His Company Will At
tend to the Needs OF Allegheny County.


Colonel Fitzhugh, general manager of the
Pittsburg and Mexican Tin Mining Com
pany, left for New York last night en- route
to the mines at Durango. He was accompa-
MED by President j. A. Mccormick, who was
going to New York. Colonel Fitzhugh said
there were still people to be found who be-
heved that tin mining in North America was
a myth. If these people would have little
patience they would see the needs of this
country supplied by North American tin,
and a large proportion of the output compet-
ing in Europe with the Asiatic and Austria
lian mineral Already, he said, he was be-
ing importuned by merchants in Germany,
France and England for prices of the Mexi-
can tin delivered there. This was out OF the
question at present. but 1t would not long
be so.
"we shall send our first Shipments"
said Colonel Fitzhugh, ito Allegheny
county. There are 60 tons of tin month
consumed in Allegheny county and
we are going to bid for the trade. We are
now turning out ton of tin every day, and
when 1 return l shall be putting out two
tons In very short time. From then for
ward the capacity Of the plant will be in
creased up to 1900 tons annually. The
cents per pound duty to come into force in
1898 does not give any concern. We expect
under the treaty to be made between the
States and Mexico that that duty will be re-
moved as far as Mexico is concerned. The
duty Was never intended to apply to that
country, but to England and abroad. The
shipment of 20 tons being sent on here will
arrive in q week or two"

OWNED BY THE CHILDREN.
The Pupils of the First and Fifteenth
Wards Attend the Exposition.

The Pupils of the First and Fifteenth
Wards Attend the Exposition.
Yesterday was the second children's day
at the Exposition. The pupils of the schools
of the First to the Fifteenth wards, inclu-
sive, were admitted yesterday, and they en-
joyed themselves as much as did their fel-
lows on the day before. Although the
officials arranged for a certain number of
schools, the pupils of others were admitted
too. The idea is not to place restrictions
upon the children more than are absolutely
necessary. 1t was hard to keep the young
sters within bounds. They showed dis
position to investigate everything to the
bottom, and If the attendants of some of
have seen everything overrun. The appre-
citation of the children of the articles that
were rare and curious was such as to flatter
those who had caused them to be brought to
the Exposition. The snake exhibition
made by the Pittsburg High School, pleased
the boys very much, overshadowing the art
gallery and everything else that was shown
In any part of the two great halls.
In Machinery Hall there was an interested
crowd continually in the neighborhood of
the glass plant, the cigar stand, the loom
and other industries. The concert in the
evening in the main hall was enjoyable,
The selection from the opera of "The Tar
and Tartar" Introducing national airs was
loudly applauded. Next week each day will
be set apart for some nationality, when the
band will play the favorite melodies of
whatever country is being represented on
that particular day. One day will also be
set apart for the satisfaction of special re-
quests for certain music by the band.

Secretary reported that 1869 mad been turned
in as part of the proceeds from the lawn fete

Visitors to Pittsburg Exposition Can Save
S25 to $50.

Having been prevented from exhibiting
our goods at the present Exposition and saw
ing thereby thousands of dollars, we pro-
pose to give the benefit of such saving to our
customers by reducing the price of our
pianos and organs and all other musical
goods in corresponding proportion. Ali the
best pianos and organs made in America are
exclusively in our hands (H. Kleber &
Bro, 506 Wood street, Pittsburg), such as
the great Steinway, the wonderful Conover
and the charming Opera pianos with the
newly-invented third pedal, producing a
beautiful echo, ETC., and will sell them at
$3.50 up to $500 and $1,0O0-for cash or on
easy payments; also the newly-invented
piano-organ, combining the advantages of
both piano and organ, and having full seven
octaves, all tor $50. Kleber & Bros Is
the oldest and most popular music house in
this district, and their reputation for
strictly honest dealing is such that people
implicitly rely upontheir Representations and
follow their advice in the choice of an in
strument. Kleber & Bro. s warerooms are

Bricklayers Have a Set-to About the Num-
Der of Men at Work.
1t was given out yesterday at the Build
ers' Exchange that the Master Bricklayers
have COO men at work. c. G. Dixon, who
gave out the information, said that the re-
ports that they were bringing from 30 to 50
people here daily is untrue. The President
of the Exchange sent a letter to all con-
tractors, asking them to report the number
OF men working for them, and the replies
made up the number stated above. These
500 are said to be laying 800, 900 each day, or
more than is being laid in New York City.
Agent O'Brien denied this statement last
night. He said he had in his possession in
formation that would prove that there are
not nearly 500 men at work. and many of
those who are at work are Donunion men
who are incompetent to do work, as much
of the work done by them has been torn
down again and reconstructed. In regard to
the 40 non-union men who we're reported to
have arrived here from Philadelphia yester
day Mr.. O'Brien said: "It was only a bluff.
The Exchange people would not be foolish
enough to warn us when men would arrive
and thereby put us on our guard"

DIR. Hollands Return.

DR.. Holland, the Chancellor of the West

East, where he has been engaged in inspect
ing the facilities and examining into the
methods of some of the older and more
famous engineering schools. He says that
he is more than ever pleased with the out
look at the Western University, and that it
does not suffer upon comparison with any of
the older institutions. He says that if the
citizens of Allegheny county will only
stand by the school, and do for it what they
are abundantly able to do, in few years
we shall have here an institution which will
be in most respects superior to anything of
the kind in the land.
