AMERICAN goods are finding wider
market as result of the Wilson bill.
Confirmation of this fact is found in the
following significant dispatch from Lon
don on Monday: "A lockout of en-
ployes in the Leicester factories is i'm
minent. The trouble is due to a reduc.
ton Of wages made necessary by the in
lux OF American goods, which are flood
ing England. The British manufactur-
ers declare that their trade will be gone
entirely unless the payment of lower
wages enable them to meet the Ameri,
cah competition" Leicester is one Of
the great wooden manufacturing centres
of England. American hosiery, carpets
and other fabrics are also finding good
markets in other sections of Europe in
competition with home products. The
new tariff law is speedily yindicating
Itself.

tariff wars, but they are sometimes as
costly to the participants as would be a
gunpOwder contest. If the market for
beef and pork Is to be curtailed those
who find themselves injured will have no
difficulty in fixing the blame where il
belongs. The sugar trust senators were
originally responsible for the differential

also responsible for the defeat of the
house bill to repeal the differential duty.

and they entered the carriage and drove off.
While Mr.. Carnegie was waiting for Secretary
Herbert he talked 10 a Tribune reporter He
said quietly:
Il don't know that there is enough interest In
my visit TO warrant your putting 1t in the papc-.
When ex-Presldent Harrison here you said
that called upon him. ! went down only to pay
my respects as | now am doing 10 Secretary
Herbert" Then Mr Carnegie changed the sub
jeci and said: Il see that The Tribune is solid
IN It's support Of President Cleveland's message"
Then he stopped When asked what he thought
about it, ne said enthusiastically:
Il. was just right 1t was an able message
and found an cello In the heart Of every loyal
American. 1t is deserved 10 be supported as
1t has been. ] think it is just what the Ameri-
can people want"
DO you think that there is going to be a
war"
NO. There is danger of that England
has too much at stake 10 risk "A brush with US.
II Will be settled by arbitration. but | think
that there will be a good deal of talk before 1t
T. settled. England would not be allowed to
declare war on US. The European Powers would
compel her TO submit TO arbitration. We have
issued our proclamation and we intend 10 stand
by IT, We would not be true sons Of Britain AZ
We did not attempt to boss every person and
everything in sight In this century ii is the
ar going TO boss the matter right through.
DO you think that this talk about war
will lead TO any change or Improvement in our
Navy or coast defences?
"Eow. ! don't car to go into that. This
matter has brought the equipment and size Of
our naval feet into On acute comparison with
those Of the Old World. and perhaps we have
suffered by the comparison. We nave been
shown that our cocsf Notifications are not
Strong But the remedy Cor this lies with Con
gress. and do not care to predict or suggest
anything"
Al this stage Of the conversation Mr. Carnegie
met Secretary Herbert and they vent of for
