AMERICAN TIN.
Views Of Welsh Manufacturers on the Loss
OF Business.

LONDON, Oct 14.-Colonel Conger OF
Ohio. who is president Of the American
Tinp!ate Company, spent fortnight in
Wales examining the various tinplate
plants, and goes home convinced that
within two years the United States will
make oil the tinplate required and at less
cost than the average market price in the
last FIVE years.
In an interview Colonel Conger said: IF
America should not produce single ton of
pig tin 1t will be no disadvantage to her, as
of the 81, coo tons produced in 1891 Cornwall
produced 5000 tons, Australia 5000 tons,
Saxony 1900 tons and the South Sea Islands
the remainder. We can produce the plates
rs cheaply as Wales can. We can get the
tin In the South Seas at an equal advantage
with England.
"The chief question is workmanship and
wages. The metal-workmen In Wales are
paid the highest wages received In Europe
for similar work. yet we pay double the
wages paid there. There will be no diff
Guilty in getting plenty OF men.
"The smartest manufacturers In Wales
are removing their plants to America, which
Is good move for both countries, relieving
the over-production in Great Britain and
giving US experienced men and the business
we need" The Welsh newspapers, COM
menting on Congers visit, say: The tin
plate Industry has failed to take root In the
United States, IN spite of the Governments s
nursing and coddling, and the people there
are beginning to see that while the tariff
has severely hurt Wales 1t hurts the tin-
consumers in the United States much more.

IMPORTED COAL.

Decision tf the Treasury Department on
Duties on Foreign Coal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-In view Of the
difficulty of classifying imported coal as
either "bitumiu uous," containing less than
90 per cent of carbon and dutiabe at rs
cents per ton. and "anthracte," entered
free of duty, such difficulty arising because
of slight variations either in the percentage
of the carbon actually contained in the
different samples of coal taken from the
same mine, the Treasury Department sug-
gests to the San Francisco Collector that
coal mined in region known to abound in
anthracite coal and similar to that which
has heretofore been admitted free of duty,
may in the future be classified as "anthra-
cite," if the quality Of fixed carbon con-
tanned therein as shown by analysis shall
not fall below 88 per cent

Canals Run by Electricity.


There have been many propositions for
the disposal OF the Ohio canals. but the one
contemplating the use Of electricity as the
motive power, the same as Is used for street.
cars, is considered the most practical, and
1t Is certainly one Of the most novel sugges-
tions of the times. 1t mas been proposed at
times to abandon the canals and sell them
out for right-of-way to railroads. At other
times 1t has been proposed to widen
them so as to make it possible 10
convey ships from the great system Of
lakes to the system of river navigation that
could be reached from the Ohio River. Ii
poles are stretched along the canals the
same as they are now along the street rail-
ways and rapid transit established from
Cleveland to Portsmouth 1t would certainly
be great invention, and the public works
of the State would become q formidable
rival of the railroads. A rapid system OF
navigation from Duluth to New Orleans
may be among the possibilities Of the
future, and If such is the case the system
of great lakes and the Mississippi River
and its tributaries will be connected by an
electric canal system through the State OF
Ohio. What time that would be for ex-
cursions!

The Awful Crime of an Unknown Chinese i

The Awful Crime of an Unknown Chinese in
Los Angeles,
Los ANGEL Es, Oct. 14.-Intense excite
ment prevails among the Spanish-Ameriean
population over the atrocious murder OF
boy of the name of Fernando Quijada, son
o. Francisco Quijada, well-known farmer
and property-owEe of this county. The
lads body was discovered in cesspool in
Chinatown last evening and was to-day
identified. The Coroner's inquest showed
that death had been caused by strangling,
1t is believed that the boy was enticed by a
Chinaman' into an opium joint and there
murdered. The identity of the murderer is
believed to be known, and the police are
making dlligent search for him. The
Spanish-Americans threatened for awhile
TO make trouble in Chinatown tonight un-
less the murderer was produced, but finally
contented themselves with holding an indig-
nation meeting Meanwhile the Chinese
have offered reward for the arrest OF the
murderer, and the police are taking every
precaution to prevent trouble. The result
of the Coroner's inquest shows the crime TO
have been one Of the foulest ever per-
petrated in this city.
