This was David e. Hennessy, chief
superintendent of police. He was 80
wears of age. and lived in New Orleans
from childhood and had studied these
Sicilian brigands ana bandit Italians as
no other American had. More than
one crime had been brought to the
Italian door by David C. Hennessy and
more than one son Of Eneas wears
letters to-day because OF this officer.
Among others he captured that cele-
brated Italian outlaw Esposito and
shipped him back to the theatre of his
crimes and the scene of his subsequent
execution. Fer this, among the rest,
was he loathed and hated by the Malta.
But life Is not all serene and uniform
among the Italians in New Orleans.
They have their two factions-the Pro-
vanzanos and Matrangas. These
Italians, or a large portion. work a.
stevedores on the docks, and these dock
workers are of the two clans named
Frequent are the fights and broils that
occur between members OF these two

States must forever remain dependent
upon the Welsh syndicate" for tin
plate. Perhaps they will give heed to
what the London Times says on the sub
lect That great journal Is always ready
to stand up for British rights and inter
ests, but the columns can not be bought,
even by so rich a syndicate as the one that
controls the tan plate industry Of Wales, &c
protect their American monopoly by the
publication IF false statements.
On June % the Times, referring TO the
fact that sixty delegates from the giu plate
working districts Of Wales were going to
the United States in order to inquire into
the prospects of profitable employment
here, and TO the statement made that
American agents In London were buying
the latest Improvements in tin plate ma
chimes, as well as offering double wages to
tin plate workers, said Should the
delegates report favorable upon the pros
poets for tin plate workers IN the United
States, ii is not unlikely that there will be
so large an exodus to America as 10 lead
to great portion of the trade hitherto
mOn0pohzd 10y Wales being transferred
to America. Hitherto the idea has been
that ID was impossible 20 manufacture tin
plates ia America owing to atmospheric
conditions; but tin plate makers who ac-
companied the Iron and Steel Institute
delegates to America reported that there
was nothing except the want of skilled
labor to prevent the successful manufacture
of TIN plate in America
How are the democratic osans going to
get around this testimony? They can not
say that the London Times is in favor Of
the Mckinley bill OF that it is in the en-
ploy OF the manufacturers OF tlis country.
Certainly the tin-plate makers who ac-
companied the iron and steel institute
delegates to America ought to know more
about the production Of tin-plate than the
penny-a-iners employed by the organs to
write down the tin-plate industry in
America.
OF course it will make the organs sad to
note the prophecy Of the Times as to what
will take place if the tin-plate delegates
report tavoranly. We repeat the words,
II is not unlikely that there viii be so large
an exodus 10 America as to lead 20 a great

Not only that but II is a trade of which
Wales has long had monopoly. This Is

RECIPROCITY WITH SPAIN.
Tax on Flour TO be Largely Reduced
Great Britain's Jealous Efforts

New YoRK, July l5.-G5neral John w.
Foster, of Washington, who has been so
successful In negotiating the reciprocal
commercial agreement between the United
States AID Spain, was in the city to-day.
General Foster has had too much expert
ence in diplomatic circles to talk freely on
a subject which has not yet been given in
detail 10 the public. He frankly expressed
himself, however, about the strong Eng
lish influence he encountered az Madrid
while the various parts Of the agreement
were being considered,
"The influence of Great Britain Mr..
Foster said lis exerted to its utmost to
render abortive all attempts on the part Of
the United States to enter into any re-
cIprOcal commercial relations with other
countries. Even now England is endeay-
oring 70 overthrow the agreement between
Brazil and this country. However, Spain
was no. influenced by the representations
made by British officials. | learn from
Madrid through the press dispatches, that
the agreement will be signed Aug. l. to go
into effect Sept 1 and | think the report
Is correct can not sly with propriety
when the president will issue his
proclamation nor anything special
about the details Of the agreement
An important tax Of S. 50 a barrel has
been imposed for years upon American
-four, but that tax will be larely reduced.
The import duty on agricultural I'M
pliments has always been very high, but
will not be much smaller. II was en-
daavored on the part of Spain TO have to-
bacco included, but | had no authority TO
negotiate My instructions were based
upon the third section of the Mckinley
bill, and there was a special section Of
that bill devoted TO the importation OF to-
oacco foreign In its purpose to the gener-
al subject of reciprocity. OF course, to-
bacco had TO be excluded. The agreement
does not require any legislative action,
The lat GER body some years ago gave
authority to the officials Of Spain to enter
into an agreement Of the character Of the
one arranged. The preSi lent has his au-
thority under the third section to issue
proclamation. OF course the principal
benefit 10 be derived by the United States
by the agreement will be the Cuban ex-
port OF free sugar. For years the whole
output Of the sugar crop OF CUBA has come
to this country. Il would have been eX-
cluded probably if the agreement had not
been made. Europe has received but a
small percentage Of that product al
though the market of London regulated
the price
Mr. Foster was asked if boots a4d shoes
were inclu5ed in the agreement. He
evasivey answered that Spain manufac-
tured all the boots and shoes manufactured
in Spain, and then TUNED the converse
ton upon the exclusion of those articles
from tne Brazilian agreement. He said
that Brazil wanted to encourage a few of
her own manufacturers Of boots and shoes,
and that was why the proposition Of the
American representatives in the direction
was rejected.

Twenty Five Per Cent. Fall in the

Sympathetic Action Prevented Sol.
~ by the Operation ofthe
Mckinley Law.

Enemvs of the Mckinley tariff now
rriumphantIy point 10 present prices for
domestic woods as proof that protection
does not help the wool growers. The fact is
that no other schedule in the wool law has
resulted III such positive good TO Amer
lean industry as has ne wool schedule to
wool growing. The congress which franz
ed and passed the Mckinley bill and the
president who signed 1t were elected prac-
tically on the platform Of protection to
wool growers, as opposed to the free wool
policy Of Mr.. Cleveland and the Mills bill.
ii is important, thers FORE that the people
in general and the lrmers in particular
should understand just what effect the Nc
Kinley law has had upon the.wool growing
industry.
The trainers Of the Mckinley bill found
that the difficulty with wool growing was
not SO much that the wool tariff was not
high enough, as that defects existed in the
old law whereby the tariff on wool and
woolens was in large part evaded. They
depended upon the stoppage OF these leaks
more than upon 2 positive increase in the
duty on wool TO work the desired improve
ment in the wool situation
The reports on imports show that during
the seven months of the enforcement Of the
new tariff our imports of manufactured
wool were reduced TO $40, 089, 143 from
SIS, III, POI, for the c0rresp onding period
of the year before This means that the
demand for domestic wool was increased
by the amount necessary to manufacture
5, ga 05S more wooden goods than were
manufactured in the corresponding seven
months Of last year.
Although the dcnnd for wool in do
nestle manufacturing and the consump-
ton of domestic woods have been largely
increased yet wool rrices have this year
fallen 50 low in the world market as to
allow the profitable importation of Aus
traIiau wool over cur tariff wall for use in
American wooden mills. Consul Griffin

Prices of Au,,rsiian wool

The explanation of this fall Of 25 per
cent. in Austraiina wool is apparent in
the table. Nearly as much wool was mark.
eted during the FIRST FIVE months of our
new tariff 3 was sold during twelve pre-
cedlug mon tbs.
Although prices Of American wool have
not, on the Whole, advanced ander the
Mckinley Law, yet The benefits of that
measure TO our wool growers are none the
less real. Without il nothing could have
prevented American wool from going
down in sympathy with the worlds mark
ct. As it is the increased demand for
wool created 5y it has kept prices here
Just about up to last years level In the
face of fall of p per cent. in the worlds
market, and an increase in importation Of
wool during the first seven months of the

Mckinley 'aw was due to the fact that they
could not foresee the abnormaly low

low prices American wool would now be
much higher. When Australian wool re-
