IlMoDERN POLITICAL CHICANE
Cleveland Opposed Because He is the
Apostle Of 1t.

WASHINGTON, June % Cleveand's
friends have taken alarm and have been
compelled to acknowledge that there is a
great and growing opposition to his nemin-
alton on the part of southern and western
men. The tactics to which the Cleveland
forces are resorting to break the force of
that opposition, or to at least explain it,
are not well calculated to add to his
strength or to promote harmony in the
ranks of the party The Cleveland hero
worshipers maintain that the only OPP
position to him proceeds from disappoint-
ed office.seekers. If the Cleveland men
believe this they are self-deceiyed The
southern and western men, who are the
most earnest in their opposition.to Cleve,
land S denomination, are for the most part
not office-seekers. They are opposed to
Mr.. Cleveland because they do not believe
in his political doctrines and because they
believe him to be the most conspicuous
apostle of modern political chicane.

TIN
The American Product is Placed on the
Market.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, June 4.-W. W.
Stewart of the Temescal tin minas has
Just placed on the market the first Ameri-
can tin ever offered in commercial guam
titles. The shipment includes POI bars
of pig-tin weighing about ffty-six pounds
each, and this with the quantity sent here
for exhibition, makes about seven tons.
This quantity is to be offered first in the
San Francisco market, and what is not
taken here will be shipped to the east
The most of this tin will possibly be
bought and consumed here, supplying
plumbers timers, and those who create
the demand. 1t is elaine that in a few
months the Temescal mines will be abund-
antly able to supply the entire American
market
Considerable correspondence about this
supply has been exchanged between Mana
ger f. NJ. Robinson of the mines and the
Eastern tin-plate manufacturers. The
mines in question are said to be the rich
est in the world, and the managers claim
their future production will be limited
only by the market Large steam mills,
furnaces, etc, are IN process of erection
now, and an immense establishment will
soon be completed
According to present plans, said Mr..
Stewart, 1.-THE mines year hence will be
capable Of turning out 2, 800 tons of tin
year, with an almost unlimited capacity
for increase. The importance Of this pro
duct will be seen when it is remembered
that the highest annual product OF the
world has been 10000 tons and the average
is about 9, 900 tons
