Ter, chief OF ordnance. made to the sec,
rstaTy OF var in October for the fsca
year ending June 80. 1892. has been is
sued In pamphlet form, and the following
is the full text of the portion relating to
Rock Island arsenal;
During the fiscal year ending June 80,
1901. visduct was built over the rail-
road tracks in Rock Island, the frequent
passage of trains and the switching OF
cars at the bridge end having delayed
traffic and rendered it dangerous. The
iron work vas supplied by the Ph0nix
Iron company of Pennsylvania, while the
stone and wood work YVES done by the
United States, as owing to the facilities
1t vas fouLd to be more economical to do
1t thus than to let it out by contract.
The visdurt is thorough span OF 100
feet, reached from the island by the old
bridge, raised to an inclinatian of one in
IS and continued by two As foot Orders
laid ct the inclination. Full details OF
the construction are given TO appendix.
Repairs were made to the draw mech
anism OF the main bridge Proposals
were called for Aug. 22. 1891, for the
drilling required to remove rock from the
channel leading in'o the water power
pool The proposals stated that about
lO,OOO holes, averaging three feet il

The average cost of drilling by hand the
kind OF rock for which the electric drill,
were used was about 90 Der foot. The
tn hand pump with leather valves or
| dinsrily used wore out rapidly, anC
pumps Of galvanized iron, with a bulle
| OF marble for valve. replaced them
| with great advantage,
The excavation was made to increase
the channel that had been cut through
the ledge at the head Of water-powe
pool in former years, from widths of 10,
10 $50 feet TO width Of 600 feet, and u
| deepen the channel throughout to fou
feet. The general depth of the old chan
mel Was four feet, but there were deposit
in 1t that required removal. Further de
tails are given in appendix.
Work on the erection of the few build
ines still required to complete the plan
for the arsenal has been totally suspend
ed on account Of the failure of congress
to make any appropriation for continuing
| the work.
| The manufacture OF field and siege ar
tillery carriages has been transferred t
this arsenal, and the plant therefor is be
ing established. A small appropriation
for additional machines and fixtures ant
some improved facilities for proseeutin

equipments for the army is already es
tablished at this srsensl.

Wool market.
TBradstreeerkl

The movement in wool continues active
and prices are firm. Stocks are heavy in
all markets, the bulk Of the clip having
passed out of the hands Of growers. The
demand for feeces is strong. The manner
In which they have been put on the market
is a subject Of general comment. The
grower has learned a lesson from the low
prices received last year, and has put his
wool up better, and in consequence has re-
ceived an equivalent advance. Manufac-
turers have been quick TO note the change.
In delaine woods there is a good movement
at unchanged prices Unwsshed woods
sell well The quantity which has come
forward In this combine is larger
than usual. Combing woods are be
ing bought quite freely. Large sales
Of Texas woods continue TO be reported. A
quiet trade is noted in California woods
The receipts of territories are large. and
the seaboard markets are heavily stocked
with them Holders are firm in their de.
mands, and buyers have taken them quite
freely. In pulled woods there is more DO
ing. New lambs wool is coming forward,
and manufacturers are giving this branch
of the market more attention. Since the
Iondeu sales closed buyers have shown a
stronger disposition 10 take Australian
woods. These woods are cheap al current
prices. A fair is noted for carpet
woods. The cholera report IN the last IS
expected TO have some effect on this branch
of the market, as woods from the Mediter-
renean may be refused entry.

SIR: If the editor Of the Times de-
sired to be honest with the public,
whom he so gracously assumes 10 en-
tighten on what is contained in the act
granting the right to establish an cleo
trio light plant, why did he so studi-
ously leave out the very first section OF
that act, in his misleading article in his
issue OF Saturday? That. section is as
follows:
Section /. Be it enacted. by the Gener-
al Assembly OF the State OF Ohio, that tire
Council of any city Of the second class,
fourth grade, that had at the last Federal
census, or that may have at any future FED
eral census, population of not less than
{, 240, and not more than 6,2o5, shall have
power, whenever il may be deemed expedl-
ent and for the public good, to construct
own and maintain, at the expense OF the
corporation, an electric hight plant, for the
purpose of supplying electric light for
streets, alleys and other public places IN
such city, and TO inhabitants thereof; and
10 construct, own and maintain such plant,
the Council of such city may issue and sell
its bonds in amount not 10 exceed So, OOOOJ,
in denominations such as the Council may
deem best, out no such bonds shall bear
more than six per cent. interest, payable at
such time and place as Council may direct,
and shall not be sold for less than their par
value.
Now Is there one word in that section
even mentioning trustees, or their right
to construct. On the contrary does II
not explicitly say the council shall
have power to construct, own aud main
tain an electric light plant?' The
fourth section of that act, so glibly
quoted by the editor Of the Times, is u
mere bungling affair, more so than his
attempt to conStrue it. He also says
do l not know that the people Of Mar
tins Ferry won't believe that we paid
our own fare TO Columbus and that he
knows that the agent received word
from his company TO proceed TO Column
bus. Now l would say as
to my fare being paid
by this agent or any one else that it is
an untruth, and l don't care whether
the editor of the Times believes it or
not, but l want TO set myself right be-
fore the people, and | can make an afti-
davit TO that effect. So will others, and
as far as an agent receiving letter
! from the firm he represents, to proceed
with the Council to Columbus, would
say that he should produce the proof,
because if anything Of the kind was
done, he knows more about IL than | do.

Carlisle stated that so far as he knew
no such investigation had been made.
he had learned OF it for the first time
when be had seen the statement IN
print.
Coming back to the chief line Of his
argument, Mr. Carlisle said that be
would endeavor to show that the prices
Of commodities In the United States
whether by wholesale or retaiO had
been
ENORMOUSLY INCREASED
by the passage Of the Mckinley act aud
by the agitation which had preceded IT,,
aud that the cost of living in the United
States had increased during the period
covered by the inyestigauon) more than
S2S5, 900, 900.
He proposed 10 show in the second
place that the rates Of wages In IL IN
protected industries ia the United
States had increased during the period
covered by the Investigation, while the
rates of wages ia Is of the highly pro
tected industries iu the United States
had fallen since the passage Of the Nc
Kinley act.
The 10 general occupants ia unpro-
tected industries were bakers, black
smiths, br.ck.ayers, cabinet makers,
carpenters, common IaborerS, farm Ia
borers. machiuiSts, masOnS, iron mould
ers, painters, plumbers, stone cutters,
t2ilorS and tiDsmithS.
The average increase Of wages In
these occupations had been 75.l00 OF /
per cent.
The IS highly protected occupations
were bar iron, boots and shoes, cotton
goods. cotton and wooden goods, cruel
bic steel, flint glass, green glass, lum-
Der, machinery, pig iron, steel lngots'
steel blooms steel rails, window glass
aud wooden goods.
In. these occupations the rates OF
wages had fallen since the Mckinley
acU an average of $4,000 OF per cent, as
against O. raise o. 75-l00 per cent. in the
is unprotected industries.
Nlr. Carlisle then went into a detailed
statement as 90 the cost OF imported
goods aud as 20 tin plates. On the lat
ter point he quoted Mr. Aldrich as say
ing that the people 0i the United States
had paid 90 the Welsh tin plate manu-
lILLNItac l- 1885 90 NN.an f'A "tA tAtA q
than they had been paying before that
time That was undoubtedly TOO true.
The Mckinley act had been bouan-
"a % lhe Welsh tin plate mOnufactur-
brs. 10 had enabled them 10 take from
the people of the United States many
millions over and above their normal
profits. The Mckinley act had paid,
not o the importer, not 20 the govern
ment. not 90 the dealers, but directly 20
abe Welsh Tin plate manufacturers,
$4,000, $50, or more than half the value
of the plant of the sos Tin plate works
OF Wales.
The Mckinley act, ss 20 tin plate,
had proved 90 be not for the benefit of
the American consumer, but OF
THIS WELSH MANUFACTURERS.
Mr. Carlisle closed his speech with
some specific statements as 10 w00.en
goods, and with the assertion that
American wool manufacturers wOuid be
willing 10 give up the tariff ON imported
wo0ilen goods If Congress- would only
give them free wool lie spoke for one

There was brief silence. Then the

"Charles has them on" was the re-
Spouse.
Then a tlred-looking young man who
had been waiting unannounced in the

away.
"She might want my boots next" he
said YEARLY. and no one knows why that
engagement is off.
