statement that Charley Mitchell, the
English pugilist, would sail for America
on the steamship Teutonic, which leaves
England next Wednesday.
Mitchell intended coming over en- the
Majestic on her next western voyage,
but as Jack McAuliffe's fight with Jim
NV Carroll was so close 10 hand 1t was
found necessary to make change IN
order to allow McAuliffe plenty OF time
in which TO prepare himself for the
fight.
Now that the Columbian Athletic
Club is In difficulties which may result
in calling the proposed fight between
McAuliffe and Carroll of, Mitchell may
be obliged to change his programme.
Ir talking over Mitchells chances
with Corbett, Mr. Bartholomew had
this to say:
"You can rest assured Of one Thing
and that is that Mitchell will be In the
best possible shape when he enters the
ring with Corbett.
II have been down to Brighton,
where Charley is living, several times
lately, and l tell you that he was look

cupy It's Atten,ion-An IntimAtion As
TO the Next Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, d. c., September s
Swedish iron, hops and curIed nslr were
the various subjects discussed oeiore
the Ways aud Means Committee to-day.
n. A. Gilbert, OF Cleveland, represent
ing the Shelby, Ohio, Steel Tube Com
uaLy, appeared first TO argue for the re-
moval OF the duty on Swedish hollow
steel bilets and blooms. he explained
that this Swedish steel was used for the
manufacture OF bicycle tubing. Ihls
tubing, until the Shelby Company was
started was manufactured only at Blrm-
ipgham, England. The process was pur-
chased by the Shelby Company in 1891,
and the Industry started. The Sweed-
ish steel used, he said, has peculiar
properties which enabled 1t to oe colu
/ drawn for the formation OF seamless
tubes. 1t was produced nowhere else IN
the world. Over two million feet OF THIS
/ tubipg had been manufactured by THIS
| frm ont OF this Swedish raw materials,
/ on which over S3S, 200 of duties had
/ been psid under the regular steel sched-
ule imposing a duty of lie cents per
mound. Inasmuch as this class OF steel
was not produced in this country,
Mr.. Gilbert contended that the
duty imposed an unnecessary
hardship on the country. AS The duty
on the finished PRODUCTS but Z Ter cent
al valorem, while that on his raw
material amounted TO 40 per cent, be
thought it was only fair that ne and his
foreign competitor be put on an eqnal
footing. at this point Chairman Will
son asked a question, which might De
taken as a significant indication OF the
line on which the new tariff bill Is tc
be framed.
'If the Swedish ore were admitted
free OF duty, the steel blooms conlu ot
manufactured here. and that would
Fobviate the necessity OF placing blooms
on the free list?" ~
Mr.. Gilbert did not think the blooms
could be manufactured here.
