Increase of the Product and Manufacture
Shown by Special Report.
The special report of Ira Aver. special agent
OF the Treasury Department, deputed 10 ex-
anime into the question Of the production of
American tin and terne plate, is made public.
The production of tin and terne plates by
quarters for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1892. is shown in abstracts which furnish the
names and location of manufacturing firms or
companies, and include the sworn statements of
manufacturers for each quarter of the year
complete.
proper for the year, BY quarter, was as follows:
Quarter ending September 80. 1891. S26. g22
pounds; December 81, 1891. l.409. sol pounds:
March 81, 1892, 9.209, 225 pounds: June so, 1892,
$500, ISL pounds. Total production for the
year. IS .646, 719 pounds.
The production of American sheet iron or
steel. made into articles and wares. timed or
terne-coated, during the year. as shown by the
sworn statements of manufacturers received 10
date. was 4, 1913 22s pounds.
As these manufactures constitute tin and
terne plate. within the meaning of tine law il
now seems probable that when full returns of
the same are received the total production for
the year. inclusive of such manufacture, will
not fall much short of 20. DOC. 600 pounds
careful estimate shows that tine quantity of
Dlack plates produced IN the United States. and
which entered into the manufacture of tin and
terne plates during the year, was by quarters a.
follows.
Quarter ending September so. 1891, 785. SAT
pounds; December 81, 1891. l,Z00.66l; March
81, 1892, 2,132 ,052; June 80. 1892, 5.l1S, 263;
total. 9.296. 533.
To which add black plates sold to stamping
companies. made into articles and wares and
timed or terne-coated per returns TO date,
4, S2S, 22S; aggregate. IA. l24.7S1
In other words of the production of tin and
terne plates proper for the year over 6s per
cent, and of the total production over 20 per
cent were made from American black plates
During the first quarter of the fiscal year i've
firms were engaged in the manufacture of tin
and terne plates, eleven during the second,
twenty during the third and twenty-six during
the fourth. The probability il that at least
eight new names will be added to the list of
manufacturers at the end of the present quar-

Sailed Over an Earthouake.

PoRr SAID, Aug. 24--The British steamer
Clan MacGresor, from the Clyde for Calcutta,
reports an interesting incident that occurred to
her. On August 8, in latitude IS
north, longitude l6 east, which position
places her in the Mediterranean north.
northeast of Tripoli, she began to roll heavily.
The weather had been fine and the sea smooth.
when suddenly an extremely heavy swell began
to run. This lasted for ten minutes when the
cOmmotion subsidized and the steamer pro-
ceeded steadily. In very short time
the sea for great distance around her boiled
violently. The swell set in again and the
steamer almost rolled her sails under. This
lasted only few minutes, when the sea again
became calm. 1t Is the opinion of those on the
Clan McGregor that they passed over place
where violent submarine eruption was taking
place.

A FULL BOARD MEETING.
All the Commissioners Act Upon the Gar
bsge Question Today.


At the board session this afternoon the three
Commissioners were present, Commissioner
Douglass having returned this morning. Sew
eral important matters were taken up and dis
cussed. Assistant Attorney s 7. Thomas was
present
Auditor Petty appeared before the board and
stated that the inaugural fund had been paid
up today by Mr.. William z. Prall, to whom II
had been loaned three years ago. The loan was
$4,000, and the interest to date s4.3s4ss. The
interest on this fund is used for the relief OF
the poor, under police distribution.
The principal. $4,000, will be reinvested
Capt. Rossell called up for consideration the
eight-hour law, and the matter was discussed at
length: The question involved was. Did the
provisions of this law apply TO the expenditure
OF specihc appropriations under the District
appropriation bill, which became a law prior to
the passage of the eIght-hour law. In other
words, did the Commissioners have powe, to
reduce the salary of laborers who worked under
these appropriations
They unanimously decided that il was evil
dent that Congress intended laborers under
the government 10 work but eight hours and
receive full days pay tor it. and that the Dis
trict government would abide by the law.
THE GARBAGE DESTRUCTION.
Capt. Rossell laid before the board COM
municati on from Col. I. b. Ferguson OF the
National Sanitary Company of Baltimore in
which it was stated that he had read in THE
STAR the form OF contract for the inciaera,ion
of garbage in which the Commissioners stated
that so cents per ton would be given for the
destruction OF garbage provided not more than
il6 tons were destroyed in any one month. the
remainder to be destroyed free of cost
This was not in accord with the understand
ing he had had with the Commissioners.
After some discussion on the subject the fol-
lowing letter was directed TO be written by the
secretary to Mr.. Ferguson:
The Commissioners have received your COM
munication and direct me to reply that they
have decided that they cannot do anything
more than pay 81 $50 for the remainder of the
current fiscal year, from the lst Of January
next, for the conveyance in steel
carts and destruction of garbage in gross
and that they cannot make any agreement based
upon a rate per ton for such treatment With
reference to your understanding as Ia
the extent to which the Commissioners
were committed in regard to this matter
at your conference with Commissioners Ross
and Rossell. l am directed to further state
that the Commissioners are prohibited by law
to make any contract except by the unanimous
action Of the board, and therefore any propo-
sition of even a majority of the Commissioners
could not bind the board.
