Statistics in the State of New York, U. S.
A. That furnishes figures which seem to
have been sufficient for even the most criti.
cal and inquisitiye free traders on this side
of the water.
No Need of Coming Here for Figures
But the editor of the Birmingham Argus
will not need, after all, to come TO America
for his statistics An ample supply OF
them is furnished by the Ria to (London),
of the date of September 10, in an article
upon sour Trade with the United States. %
1t speaks frankly in ineroductioa of the sub
lect and the figures thereto appertaining
1t says:
The effects of the Mckinley tariff upon
British trade are beginning to make them
selves felt in a specific form. For some
time past the Board OF Trade returns have
supplied conclusive evidence that in certain
directions we were suffering from the pro-
hibttive duties which came into force in
the United States two years ago From these
ngures 1t was but too easy to deduce
conclusions as to the districts, the indus
tries. even the private firms and public
companies likely to be most affected. Now
we have to deal not only with general sta
tlstics. but such ugly facts as the proposed
liquidation of the old firm of Sir Titus Salt,
Sons & Co. aud other similar troubles in
the Bradford district and elsewhere. But
the Salt business is not the only one in the
Bradford district that has come to grief re-
Gently, and in die other cases the protec
Zionist policy of the United States plays no
minor part.
Then the editor proceeds to the figures
which the Birmin gham A1gsts man wants so
badly. He takes them from the latest pub
lished Board OF Trade returns, and they are
here reproduced in tabular torn:

A COOLEY GANG TRICK.

Y0ung Girl Tied to a Post and Gagged ON
Marion Street.-The Story Disbeheved by
the Police-she Is Discharged by Her
Mistress.
A servant girl in the employ of j. o. Me-
Ginness at No. 18 Marion street was the
principal figure in an Interesting little
drama yesterday. The girl is known as
Mamie Nee, and she is only 16 yesrs old
Shortly before II o'clock in the morning
she went to the cellar, leaving Mrs. McGin-
ness and her son, a.boy OF II, in the room
directly above. About 10 minutes later the
son also went to the cellar and was fright
ened nearly out of his wits BY seeing the
girl tied up to post with a rope and her
apron tied across her mouth IS a gag.
The boy ran upstairs and told his mother,
who called in q man she knew from the
street to go to the cellar and investigate.
When he went down he cut the girl loose
and united the bandage from her face.
Then she told a queer story.
Upon going to the cellar she had gone to
Q closet and was busily engaged there when
she heard step behind her. but, supposing
1t was her mistress, paid no attention to it
until she was suddenly seized by a man,
who clapped his hand over her mouth, pre-
venting an outcry. While holding her the
man jerked her apron off and gagged her
with it, after which he produced . piece Of
clothes line from his pocket and bound her
with her back to post.
Strange to say, the girl could give no
description Of the man, said she had been
unable to get q view of his face, and de-
clsred that further than as already stated
had not harmed her. How he had escaped
without going out through the house, the
only means of exit, the Young girl could
not explain, though she insisted her state
ment was altogether true.
The police we're notified and investigated
the matter. Proceeding on the assumption
that the girl was not telling the truth, they
interviewed the man who had released the
girl, who said that it might have been pos
sible for her to have tied herself, although
he was not sure about it. The officers
searched the house, but they could find no
man or any evidence that one had been
there.
Mrs. McGinness discharged the girl yes
terdsy sfter the police investigation. A |
singular point in connection with the case |
is that last Saturday an installment peddler |
visited the house during the absence of the |
family and insisted on going upstairs, say
ing he wanted to look at the jewelry. The |
girl says she prevented him from going up |
stairs, but when he left he said he would re- |
turn. She cannot identify him as her assail- /
ant of yesterday. An attempt was made to see |
the girl at her home at the Point last night.
but she was not at home. Her right name
is said to be Callahan, though she is known
as Mamie Lee. which is stepfather's name.
The police can give no further information |
on the story,
