WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 10.-Acting
Secretary Ncttleton has received a letter
from F. D. Neidringhaus, president OF
,be St. Louis Stamping company, in
reoly to the letter OF the secretary OF
tDc treasury of July 80 in regard to the
i,nportation of skilled labor for the tin
plate industry. Mr.. Neidringbaus says:
"Iu answer, allow me to stute that we
do not find anything in the letter of
Commissioner owen that the St. Louis
Stamping company could possibly mis-
coDstrue. 1t states that the immigra-
lion laws will be strictly enforced by
tbe department, but us to the importa-
tioa Of skilled labor, the law passed by
\ Democratic Congress and signed
by a Democratic president to en-
able the establishment, OF new
Industries in the United States is
yery clear and beyond the power OF the
Treasury Department. That the manu-
iacture Of tin plates is new industry
in the United States no one disputes.
In order, however, to decide the ques-
tion whether skilled labor can be found
for the manufacture OF tin plates in this
country, We have announced In the
papers Of the principal cities OF the
United States, and herewith renew the
offer, that we will employ any Ameri-
can lin plate roller who may apply, and
Iay them 100 per cent advance per box
over what is paid for the same work in
England. The average duty on tin
plates is claimed to be about 70 per cent,
and We are perfectly willing to give the
workman ali OF that and add 80 per cent
thereto.
"On July the union men employed
at our rolling mills sent large COM
mittcc to our office stating they were
perfectly satisfied with the wages paid
and treatment received, but that the
company should employ about three
times as many men to cut the iron than
was necessary, and also that they should
control them. They demanded that
the scale with these provisions be signed
by our company or they would lay down
tGcir work. Both the manager OF the;
mills, Mr.. W. F. Neidringhaus and the
writer, said it mattered not to them
what was done with the iron after they
had finished it il they received their
pay, and before submitting to suchRr-
bitEry rulings the company would quit
the business.
ave told them, furthermore, thatti
they did lay down their work on so
ilimsy a prctext our mills would there
after be nOn.union. They stopped work,
were paid off, and left the employof the
company.
''For the successful operation of this
new industry it is necessary to have
skilled labor fresh from the business as
it is today practiCed in Europe, but it
will not, us lar as our companyis con-
Cerned, amount to over ten per cent Of
the whole number employed. All this
company needs is some tin plate rollers
and perhaps half dozen men for pick
ling wash and tin houses to run some
patent machinery.
THE balance OF the places will be
filled by home talent. We have one
train now running on tin plates in our
old mills manned entirely by American
Young men. That crew, however, is not
sufficient for our new mills where We
will have six trains and perhaps eight
to supply, which to commence with,
some skilled labor is necessary"

LONDON, Aug. 1O.-The Mark Lane Er-
press, in its weekly review Of the British
grain trade, says: A lack of dry heat
has caused the harvest to be late, but in
few cases has it been unfavorably af-
fected. Tho next fortnight, however, is
the critical period for tho failure OF sue
cess OF tho crops. Eaglish wheat has
been in slow sale at SSa39s for red, and
40a4ls for ordinary white. Many Of the
exchanges are almost empty, and bust
ness has been extremely limited. For
eign wheat advanced slightly. In
spring grain the trade was in favor of
holders for barley and oats and corn.

Ship of tho Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany.
SAN SALVADOR, Aug. 1O.-The Pacific
Mail Steamship Company has got itself
into trouble.
It's ships have sole control Of all the
traffic between the Central American
States and the United States. The GUS
tom has been to load these vessels at
night, so rs to make quicker time, to
meet the terms OF the subsidy for carry
ing the mails.
The rates charged by this company
can countries have been much put out
over the way they are treated. As mat
ters stand, they can derive more benefit
by sending their imports to Germany
instead Of America. Reciprocity
schemes will not do any good so long rs
things remain as they are Mt present.
The Germans have seen their chance to
profit by this state Of affairs, and al-
ready many OF their vessels are loading
in Central America.
AS q result OF the strained relations
between the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company and these States, Guatemala,
Nicaragua and San Salvador passed laws
making it illegal to employ natives at
night. This proceeding was resented
by the company. The climax has been
reached by the contscation, by the Sal
yadorian authorities, Of the Pacific Mail
steamship, City of Panama, Captain
White. The seizure took place at La
Libertad. The cause OF it was that
the City of Panama left La Union
without permit from the captain OF
that port. It is said that Capt. White
in his desire to leave La Union promptly,
SO as to maintain his time schedule,
weighed anchor ut dusk. There was
lot OF goods on the dock andthe author
tiles insisted on their being shipped.
In order to dodge this work, which
would delay him considerably, Capt.
White quit the port without the neces-
sary permit.
The United States war vessel Ranger
is in these waters, and she will probably
be brought here Mt once to take u hand
in the trouble.

A BIG STORM

Meeting in Its Path.

LEON, Ia, Aug. 10.-A cyclone swept
over this portion Of Decatur county
yesterday, causing great damage. In
this town streets and yards were Uttered
with trees and were impossible. The
opera house and school house were un-
rooted and two houses in the southern
part of the town were completely de-
molished. A camp meeting held in a

had fully 5000 people in attendance.
The storm struck the grove suddenly
and in a moment all was dark as night.
The tabernacle was crushed under the
weight OF two giant oaks and all the

gale, however, no ono was killed and
only u few slightly bruised by flying
debris.
1t is feared that when reports are re-
ceiYed from the country districts they
will bring news OF loss OF life.

"Thls is the first information l have

The City Of Panama left Acapulco, July

presume that Capt, White had good
reasons for leaving the port. Possibly the
Salvadorian authorities wanted the ship
to wait until some official came down
from up the country to the shore. Cap
tain White is little Massachusetts sea

In concluding Mr.. Bullay said: "0h, it's
nothing serious at ALL The cause is
probably local, and is likely to have
come from the jealousies existing be-
tween those ports. Mr.. Blaine will
settle the matter in short order"
"Will they hold the vessel or make
her captain give bonds?" was asked.
"HoN her? No, l think moi" was the
prompt reply. "They have no forts or

have to do would beto anchor up and
leave. I'm glad she is not ashore" !"
