ENGLAND EXPECTS TO BENEFIT.
The New Tariff Bill May Start Up OLE
Industries.

The New Tariff Bill May Start Up OLD
Industries.
New YORK, Sept. ia dispatch
from London says: 1.-THE trade of st.
Helens, Lancashire, has been very de-
pressed for long time, and the Nc
Kinley tariff and continental comp petit
tition nave been debited with
most of the trouble. Manu-
facturers are now studying the new
American tariff bill, and some of them
declare that the plate glass trade of ST.
Helens will not derive any advantage
whatever from the trifling reduction of
duties. While the American duty OH GER
tain glass was 35 cents per foot the En-
glish manufacturer would be glad to
find customers at that price, and has
often sold for less. The duties are more
favorable to sheet glass; and In that
branch of industry some benefit is eX-
pected. But it Is the chemical trade of
the town that will benefit mostly from
the new tariff, and considerable re-
vival therein is expected, especially
on soda, the duty on which is
reduced from $50 to $780, The
Witness chemical manufacturers ex-
press like opinions, Mr. Morrison,
local manager of the United Alkali
Company, does not expect the improve
ment Immediately. He looks for the
advantage to show Itself grad ually,
and not much before the end of the
year. About 600 men have been
stopped of late in the alkali works oil
Witness about 10 per cent of the
whole. and most Of those employed
are working half time. Mr.. Morrison
expects that before long work will be
found for all hands.

of the city when the passengers and
crew noticed the approaching tunnel

lion to everything In its path, uproot-

foreit. The train and cyclone met,

little child afire, and hastily catching
them up, he extinguished the fire, but

which seems to have been purely local
was slight. Its path was not over 81
yards wide, and did not extend more
than mile.
