IF Japan wins, which she certainly will,
the Japs will so rise in public estimation
that her princes and other mobiles will be-.
come notable catches. American heiresses
who are seeking for titled mates should
make note of this, for when this cruel
war is ended, the titled Japanese young
gentlemen will no doubt be on the qui
vive for wives, and as the object with a
good many girls appears to be to have a
nobleman for a husband, it will make no
difference whether they are Italian, Ger
M IN, English, Australian or Japanese.
Tney do seem to draw the line on Chinese.

THIS tinplate business is really very
confusing. Down to year or two ago
we were informed, ten thousand times a
year, with all the solemnity of cocksure
omniscience, that the manufacture of
tinplate in this country was entirely out
OF the question. 1t was physically i'm.
possible, intellectually absurd, spiritually
incompatible with the genius of American
institutions. There was something in the
soil, or in the climate, or in the cut of our
clothes, that prevented it. To attempt it
was folly. To enact law favoring the
establishment of such an industry would
De criminal. When the Mckinley bill
was passed, and under its protection
numerous alleged tinplate factories were
opened, we were told by the same infalli-
be authorities that ''it was fake" The
largest factory comprised only a man, a
by and a melting pot, There wasn't a
sheet Of American-made tinplats in the
market, and never would or could be. If
there were any called such, it was i'm

The men who reported the sucoessfl
making of thousands of boxes of Amerl-
can tinplate were no better than bunco-
sueerers. The thing simply could not be
done, and there was an end of it. Now,
however, we have 50 high free trade

declaring that tinplate manufacturers in
Wales are greatly disappointed at the
lack of vitality and expansion in this

constant addition to the domestic (Ameri-

Towns was yesterday engaged in a lengthy
consultation with the relatives of young
Henry Aims, of New York, who was shot
and killed by members of the Seventh
regiment during the riotous disturbances
at Halsey street and Broadway, with a
view to bringing an action TO recover
damages for the loss of the young man S
life, making Mayor Schieren and the city
of Brooklyn co-defendants in the case,
Counsellor Towns believes that the law
which makes the city responsible for dam
ages to property can be made to apply in
the case of loss of life as well.
Late yesterday afternoon deputy sheriff
who tried to prevent the cutting of the
wires at Maspeth was pinioned against a
trolley pole while the work was being
done. A crowd of d hundred men gath
cred and threatened violence. The section
box was also smashed. The crowd was
becoming very unruly when Sheriff Dobt
and Captain Metphin with force of
deputies charged the mob The mob
scattered and again formed about the truck
house, which is used as a headquarters.
When the wires had been repaired the
crowd once more became threatening, but
was driven TO the truck house. Two ar-
rests were made, Justice Schumacher
discharged the two strikers, but held the
deputy.
During the evening the deputies cleared
the avenue several times, and once were
Obliged to fire some shots before the
strikers would yield. None Of the shots
were fired at the crowd. Stones were frN-
quently placed on the tracks, and some
were thrown at the cars.

TIE passage of the Nicaragua Canal
bill by the United States Senate leaves
the lower house in position to decide the
fate of this important measure. Five
weeks of the session remain, and it is not
probable that the Democratic leaders will
consider it either practicable or expedient
to force the bill through the House.
There is, however, a strong force of public
opinion behind the measure in the South,
il the Pacific States and in New England,
and both parties are committed by their
National platforms to the general policy
of opening waterway between the Carb.
bean and the Pacific. 1t is barely posi-
BILE that Congress which has conspicu-
ously demonstrated its incompetence in
dealing with large public questions may

Queer Things the Northern Soldiers Sent

 Tho greatest harvest reaped by tho principal express companies was during the late war of the rebellion, when ev- erything was sent and received by ex- press, no matter what the cost. The writer of this sketch had varied and somewhat tedious experience in the busi- ness during that prOtracted disturbance, and was witness to many scenes of som Der and many of a humorous character. These were mostly seen i'll the returns from the scat of war just after battle.
 Sometimes after victorious Federal action, or the capture of a rebel town, the officers, as we'll as the men, made a practice of sending home trophies they had captured. These often were house. hold effects of comparatively little val uc, and cost tho recipients at home q large tax for express transportation. Sometimes live stock was sent, consist ing largely of dogs and donkeys, some times a singing bird, or fowls of pecul- jar breed.

BAD FREaHT WREcK.
One Man Killed and Two Tramps Badly
 .0~E Injured.

".# Injured
 OSwEGO, N. Y., Aug. 26.-A bad wreck occurred at. Pulaski, on the Rome, Water town and Ogdensburg railroad, resulting in the death of Walter Sisson of Yonkers and the serious injury of two tramps, names unknown.
 A freight train of fl cars, Conductor George Cotter, bound from Norwood to Suspension Bridge, broke in two pieces while going at high rate of speed. The break occurred between two gondolas which were sandwiched in the center df tho train. The sections came together while going down steep grade, telescop- ing both gondolas, throwing 13 other cars down an embankment and tearing up the track for considerable distance.
 The injured tramps were found pinned beneath a truck. Sisson was not found until the wrecking train began to clear the tracks. It required IS hours to per- form this task. Sisson's body was fearful ly mangled, his back, arms, legs and shoulders being broken in several places. From letters found on him it was learned that he was a draughtsman by trade and had been tramping about year. He tray eled alone, the tramps who were injured not knowing of his being on the train The damage caused by the wreck is esti- mated at $15, 900. The Sunday excursion from Oswego to the Thousand Islands was sent via Syracuse. Sisson's remains were shipped to Yonkers. The injured tramps are being cared for at Pulaski.

COlOred Woman Found Burned to Death
 In an Indians Cabin.
 TRENTON, Aug. 26.-The body of Lydia M. Frame, a colored woman, was found seated in a rocking chair in little cabin near Pennington, this county. The head was tilted back under a shelf, the face burned to crisp and all the clothing ex- cept her shoes and gloves burned off. The woman had been housekeeper for Theo- dore Hogemen, a half breed, who lives in the cabin, and as she met her death Satur day night and Hogemen had notified no one foul play is suspected.
 Coroner Bower, who is Investigating the case, questioned Hogemen to little avail, the Indian claiming that he tried to extinguish the flames with carpet and was afraid to tell of the woman's death. Hoge- men and the woman were in Pennington Saturday night and drank heavily. A broken lamp found at the foot of the stairs in the cabin may bear out Hogemen's as sertion that the woman, while drunk, let it fall, the blaze spreading to her dress. A lounge, a chair and the carpet were also burned

limit Colonel Wilson vas recently trans ferred from Washington to the northeast division, which includes New York and New England.
 Colonel Wilson has had the rather unique and, for an army officer, unusu al experience of having refused to drink with two presidents of the United States. Tho first occasion was at the close of the long and fatiguing day of Cleveland s first inauguration in con ducting the details of which Colonel Wilson had an important part When it was all over the president suggested that they take a ''quiet little drink togeth- CT. A decanter of whisky was pro- duced. With moral courage not less conspicuous than had been his physical courage i'll the time of war the colonel firmly declined tho invitation of the na- tion's chief executive, saying, II can not join you ill a drink of whisky, for I have never drunk spirits and never mean to do so. The colonel therefore pledged the president s health in glass of apol- linaris. He had a similar experience on tho occasion of Harrison s inauguration.
 As before, the president, after con- graduating him upon the successful management of the ceremonies, suggest ed that they take |; drink together i'll , honor of the occasion. Colonel Wilson again declined. and drank President Harrison health ill a glass of water.
 Colonel Wilson has had rather brilliant military career and combines in a high degree the distinguishing traits of d soldier and gentleman. He was born in the District of Columbia, and is about 55 years of age. He entered West Point ill 1855, being appointed from Washington territory, and gradu- ated in 1860, joining the engineer corps. with which he has since been connected. He served with distinction all through the war of the rebellion and was sue | cessively promoted for gallant and mer- itorious service ill the battle of Gaines Mill, Va, at Malvern Hill, during the campaign around Mobile, ill the capture 1 of Spanish Fort and at Fort Blakeley Ala. His present rank is that of lien tenant colonel of engineers. Durin; | President Cleveland's two terms he h:s
 held the position of superintendent Jf I public buildings and grounds at Wah-
 ington. For four years he was supc in tendent of the United States Military
 academy at West Point

THE TRIPLE CALL DOWN.
How a Bored Irishman Silenced a Crowd
 of Self Admitted GeniaIs.

There were four of them, as genial, good natured, whole souled retailers of old wives tales as ever got together ill the smoking compartment of a sleeping car. They had all fed we'll ill the diner and settled down with the anticipation of enjoying long evening of yarn swapping. They spread themselves over as many of the seats of the smoker as they could cover and crowded into corner large, round faced, jolly look ing Irishman, who was enjoying his after dinner cigar. Somehow he wasn't amused by the stories. The narrators spread themselves, but they couldn't feaze him, and the bored expression on his face grew i'll intensity as the stories went on. The stories were not funny. Once ill awhile there was a gleam of humor, but for the most part they were just commonplace or vulgar. But they seemed irresistibly humorous to the four, who pelted their thighs and wheezed and chorttled and roared as each in turn finished his yarn.
 At last the big Irishman could endure it no longer, and he broke in:
 "That reminds me of the farmer who caught three boys stealing apples in his orchard"
 The original four turned toward him with look of expectant triumph, ready to yell at the first sign of conclusion.
 "He chased them, went on the Irish man, "and they all ran up a tree. Come down, said the farmer, but they wouldn't.
 "'Wi1l ye come down for once?' asked the farmer.
 "'We will not, answered the boys. "'Will yc come down for twice?'
 "'Wo will not.
 "'Win ye come down for thrco times?'
 "So they all came down" And with that the big Irishman wink ed at the only other man ill the com partmcnt who was not of the story tell- ing crowd The yarn spinners laughed uproari, ''y for second or two, and then went up, as the Germans say, an. stopped suddenly. They looked .,; une another for minute searching for the point, and then one said, with yawn and a stretch: "Well, Iguess it's bedtime. Good night" And the party broke up, wondering. New York Sun.

 Major Wodchouse was in New York last week and sailed for England on Saturday on board the Etruria. So far as is known he had not paid a visit to Washington while in America.
