And the threat of Free Trade has
thrown US back half a dozen years till
labor is less busy now than it was in
1889, and its earning capacity is less by
three hundred million dollars a year.
Here the suggestion naturally follows
that u consumption of goods must be
on the basis of u consumption in 1889,
at least as far as the wage earners are
concerned if they are in receipt of $780,
600, 900 less than in 1889. This being the
case, the effect OF our present importa-
tons Of foreign goods could only be
fairly gagged by comparing them with
our imports of 1889. That we are not
consuming as much as we did from
1899 to 1898 is well known, but if the
demand has fallen back to that Of 1889
then cur manufacturers will certainly
have to curtail their output very short
ly. We have, in fact, learned from rep
resentatives of several industries that
this is likely to be the case.

swINDLINe UNCLE SAM.
A Brewery is Seized for Using
Revenue Stamps Twice.

BROOKLYN, n. Y. June 2I-All
the plant OF the Abbott-Kstz
Brewing Co, at Bushick avenue,
Meserole and Scholes street, except
the real estate, have been seized by
Collector OF Internal Revenue
Kelly. The seizure included
machinery, material and manu-
featured product, worth according
to the company's estimate 5000, 900.
The value OF the land, buildings,
etc., is estimated at 100000. Col
lector Kelly did not close the
brewery. Instead he left,it in charge
of Deputy Canstant and Revenue
Officer Yates, Of New York, who
are taking an inventory OF the
property. The books Of the
concern were seized for examina-
ton some days ago.
81 found the affairs OF the con-
Germ so badly mixed up" said the
collector, "that was compelled to
make the seizure. Within a day
or two the inventory Of the stock
and material will be completed and
the company Will be bonded pend
ing other legal proceedings"
The most serious offence OF which
the company is supposed to be
guilty, is its use of cancelled
stamps. A large quantity Of these
were found on the premises, in vio-
lation of the law. Knowing the
output Of beer, and how many
stamps had been purchased at the
revenue office, it only needed the
finding of these old stamps to con-
vince the collector that they were
being used over and over again.
Collector Kelly told the reporter
that Messrs. Katz and Stein, the
managers Of the company, declared
their inability to explain all OF the
apparent Irregularities, and ap-
peared sincere in their efforts to
assist him in his investigation in
to its affairs. The Abbott.Katz
Brewing company was founded in
1867. Charles Katz is president.

Reorganization Plans Will be
Promulgated in Few Days.
NEW YORK, June 21.-The World
says: The Wall street quotation
of the $352,92l,046 OF securities OF
the Northern Pacific railway have
been seriously affected by the news
that the holders OF the stock con-
template a suit to have declared
illegal nearly half the securities Of
the road.
The suit contemplated is based
on q clause Of the original charter
of the road granted by the Uuited
States government in 1864, which
forbade the issue Of any but first
mortgages bonds. The re-organiza-
ton scheme will come to q head
quickly now because j. Pierrepont
Morgan Is here. He arrived from
Europe on the Germani.
1t is likely that the scheme will
be promulgated in ten days. Presi-
dent j. j. Hill, Of the Great North
ern, is here also awaiting confer.
ence with Morgan.

A Southern Editor Talks.

NEW YORK, June 21.-Frank P.
O'Brien, a prominent Democrat OF
Alabama, and the editor and pro-
prietor of the Birmingham Age
Herald, is in the city on business.
When a reporter talked with Mr..
O'Brien about Birmingham and
the "New South" he said:
affairs are improving in North
Alabama. In the coal and iron
districts around Birmingham there
is a slow, but sure recovery from
the depression Of the last few
years. Birmingham is the indus.
trial centre Of the State. We look
for decidedly better times soon.
Alabama's resources are tremend-
Gus. The State offers more advan-
tages to settlers and investors than
are offered by any other in the
Union.
"One OF the drawbacks we con-
tend with" said Mr.. O'Brien, ais
the lack OF home capital to develop
the natural resources OF the State.
We have to come to Wall street
when we want capital to float our
securities, and so great deal OF
valuable property in Birmingham
and in other industrial cities OF the
State is owned by non.residents.
81 do not care to say much about
the politics OF the State. Personally
/ am a sound money man, and l
believe in tariff for revenue and
incidental protection, Kolb is a
political corpse. l don't think he
will make fight for the governor
shin again."

One of the Mob.

BUTTE, Neb., June 2l.-When
court convened today the state
called Fannie Scott, the little eight
year old daughter Of the murdered
ex-treasurer, to the stand. She de-
scribed in her own language the
capture OF the party at Parker post
office and said she had since seen
one of the men, who was in the
crowd which surrounded the bug
gy, at their home, in Oneill. The
witness said the man she saw at
Oneill was dressed the same and
had eyes like the man at Parker's.
Physician who conducted the
post mortem examination on the
body testified as to the condition
of the body and the marks on the
neck of the murdered man. The
witness said that from the condi-
ton of the rope about the neck his
opinion was that death was caused
from strangulation, but thought
the position Of the rope did not in
dictate that the body had been sus.

Colon, June 21.-(Special Cor.
respondence AssociatedPress) The
steamer Tyr, of the Mobile Fruit
and Trading company, arrived at
Bocos Del Toro lately, having on
board a DR.. Ross, Of Texas, who
said he came to practice there or in
one of the neighboring islands,
The steamer Tyr returned to Mo-
bile with a cargo OF fruit, but when
her commander, Capt. Rasmussen,
reached his destination, on exam
ing a locker in which he kept his
crews money and his own, he
found large amount distracted

reward of 5000 is offered.
Capt. Rasmussen also recog-
nized a photograph Of A. G. Love
as being that OF dr." Ross. The
captain returned to Bocas with the
photograph and warrant for the
arrest of A. G. Love alias "Dr."
Ross. He also brought with him
a trunk, which "Dr" Ross requested
the captain to bring for him from
Mobile. The package had no
marks, and on his arrival at Bocas
he reported the circumstances to
the United States consular agent
and to the Colombian authorities
The latter having opened it found
it contained clothing marked A. G.
Love. The authorities therefore
held him under $4,000 bond, but he
subsequently, escaped to Chiriqui
Grande, where he is at present.

article of the constitution I have the
right to see that contracts entered into
by any executive department of the State
are faithfully executed. There is a pro-
vision of the law under which, as the Gov
ernor of the State, may compel those
people to account to me for what they do.
But there will be no friction between the
Board of Harbor Commissioners and my
self relative to the ferry depot foundation
or the superstructure, although investi-
cation will be had"
These were the words of Governor Budd
last evening, when interviewed with re-
spect to the ferry depot foundation. The
Governor was confident that the Board of
Harbor Commissioners would be in accord
with him and that he would receive all the
information that he might desire respect
ing the transactions which have taken
place.
The Governor and the Governors Office
maintain discreet silence as to the result
of the recent preliminary examination of
the concrete foundation, but there are
those who maintain that this preliminary
examination has developed facts which
will lead to the most rigid investigation,
and that Engineer Won Schmidt's sugges-
ton to bore holes through the concrete, six
inches in diameter and ten feet apart, as
outlined in THE CALL this morning will be
adopted.
Governor Budd declared that he had
been informed by Attorney Coogan that he
was for certain purposes a member ex-
officio, along with the Mayor of San Fran
CISCO of the Board of Harbor Commits
sioners He has looked up the law on the
subject and is convinced that Attorney
Coogan's position is correct The only
question to be determined now is lust
bOr far 4hn icin Of Tho Ia
The law distinctly cites that the Governor
of the State and the Mayor of San Fran
cisco are members of the board for special
purposes mentioned. These purposes ap-
ply to the seawall. No contract for any
portion of the seawall can be made with
out notifying the Governor of the State
and the Mayor of San Francisco to attend
the meeting. The cement foundation for
the ferry depot is regarded as a part of the
seawall.
Speaking of the matter Attorney T. C.
Coogan, who was present declared that
the Governor was member of the Board
of Harbor Commissioners in matters re-
lating to the seawall, and that so far as the
cement foundation went the Governor was
member of the board. Mr.. Coogan was
attorney for the board for seven years and
he declares that the foundation is part and
parcel OF the seawall. Even the super
structure may be regarded as part of the
seawall.
"There is no doubt" declared Governor
Budd, after consulting the statutes, ''that
the foundation is part of the seawall.
Therefore am a member of the board so
far as that foundation is concerned. Be-
yond that, it is my duty to see that laws
are properly enforced, and l shall see to it
that IN this instance, where so much
money of the State is involved, that all
contracts are specifically complied with,
but | wish to add that between the HarboT
Commissioners and myself there is no
friction. The matter is too plain to admit
of any argument.

HaskelPs Unfortunate Experience on

J.R. Fletcher and his wife, Kitty Fletch-

bailiff in Judge Bahrs' court calls for them.
They have fed, leaving charge of swim

thousand dollars and only one bondsman,
Burnett G. Haskell, the other bondsmen,
Tom Barry, having fled with them.
Yesterday, when the cases were called in

nounced that he was unable to find his
man and asked the court to give him lit
tie more time in which to locate him. He
was on a hot trail, he said, and he felt sure

was lenient and has allowed Haskell time
to capture the fugitives or to make it cer-
tain that they are beyond his reach.

examine the work. He had no idea what
he will do regarding the inspection until
after he receives his instructions from Sac
ramento.
He was seen at his home in Oakland yes
terday and said: THE first intimation l
had of being chosen as an expert to ex-
anime the work being done on the Market
street depot was through this mornings
papers. 1 have received no official notice
of my appointment, and consequently can
say nothing about what l will do.'
There is a slight mistake regarding my
having drawn the plans for the landing, as
published this morning. When l contem-
plated trip to Europe some years ago,
the old Board of Harbor Commissioners
requested me to give them some plans for
the proposed depot, and during my travels
through Europe to pick up such good ideas
as l might encounter. l kept lookout
and upon my return blocked out the idea
and gave it to the board. did not draw
the plans, but simply gave a rough out
line"
'Did your plans, as suggested, include
concrete work as now being done?''
''Well, not exactly. L suppose many
notifications were made, but Just what
thew were | do not know, as / left the
Southern Pacific shortly after that and
know nothing about the final plans"
Mr.. Brown stated he would accept the
appointment if rendered him, but upon
what plan he would conduct the inspection
he could not say, as he had given the mat
ter no thought.
