says: The following cablegram has
b en- received, which, IL goes with
out saying, will not be generally
y credited until confirmed by suhse-
quent advices: "News was received
in this city from London today that
Russia has practically captured Con
stantinople 10y the greatest coup de
main of the century. On Monday,
large fleet of barges and vessels
appeared on the Turkish coast of the
Black sea near Derkos, a town about
seventy miles northwest of Constan.
stinople, aud landed 1900 Cossacks
and 22,OJO infantry, They seized
the railroad along the coast from
Constantinople to linda, imme-
diately crossed the coast range and
seized another railway rom Con-
stantinople ~ Sofia, town about
sixty mites west of COnstantinOple.
This commands the two roads to
Constantinople, and gives the Rus
slams control of the narrow wedge
between the Black sea and the sen
of Marmosl. At the point of this
wedge IT, Constantinople. Thi-
movement fanks all the defenses OF
Constantinople except those round
the city and renders help from there
practically useless. 1t is said that
Russia has been accumulating bar
ges and shipping of all kinds at thu
mouth of the Danube for six months
past without discovery, and that the
whole of tn 100000 tro BPS assem-.
bed In southw stern II lssia can be
t ansported and Landed within sixty
miles of Constantinople inside of
the next four days before anything

AMERICAN TIN PLATE.
PITTsBURG, Oct. 22.-Last wc4k
w. G, Cronemeyer, of the United
Stltes iron and steel tin plate works, /,
at Demmler, Penn, sent President
Harrison box nf tin manufactured
at the Demmler works. Yesterday
Cronemeyer received the following ,
letter from Harrison, dated WASH ,
ington, October 80: "My Dear Sir:
l have your letter Of October Is,
and also box of BRIGHT tin plate,
which you send as specimen o.
product being turned out by the

but to the eye it s"ems to be emf
nently satisfactory, and thank you
for this evidence of a new industry
that hrs been established in the
United States. | cannot quite
understand how any American eau
doubt we have mechanical skill and
business sagacity to establish success
fully her manufacture of tin plate.
No other country Certainly sur
passes US in inventive genius of its
citizens or in the busine sagacity
Of its capitalists. 1t is surprising
to me that any patriotic American :
should approach this question with
a desire to s this great and interes ,
ing experiment fail, or with an un.
II accept the evidences
Of its success. 1t will be great
step in the direction of commercial /
independence when we produce our C
own tin plate. 1t seems to me S
unless it be lack of faith In /
the maintenance of the present law L
can thwart this do-irable achiev~- /
ment, / can understand, however, 5
that suoce3s should be doubled ami O
our failure accepted with satisfaction b
Id Wales, but / cannot understand (
how any American can take that Il
view of the question or why he O
should always approach every evi. Z
ience of the succe of the establish r
ment of this industry in this country t
with disposition to discredit and
regret it. IL the great experiment t
Is to fail, our own people should not '
add To the mortific .tion of the s
crime of rejoicing in it, $
