we protect ourselves against it great deal
OF harm will be done to many of our indus
trles. Ihey have, understand, started
factory tor making watches, which they
propose to sell at so cents apiece. Ihen
tney are turning out nails and articles OF
that class. They are now spinning cotton,
and the wages paid to the laborers IN that
INDUSTRY ls l believe, about 81 cents a
week. What can we do against that?
Ihey have only some 10000 splndles. ana
IL is curious thing that they don I put In
more. However, as soon as they nnd
that they can manufacture and export to
the United States, of course they Will do
1t. AS soon as they begin to appreciate
their advantages you may be sure that
they Will make use of them.
THE new tariff bill has more than
doubled our importations from Great
Britain, especially in woolen goods, and If
Great Britain can with it's higher priced
labor do so much in the United States with
ner manufactures, what may we not ex-
pect from Japan2
1T Is simply question whether we
want TO bring the status of our wages down
to that in Japan and expect our m chanlcs
on the top of that to send their children to
be educated in our schools.
"Of course there is great deal to be SAID
against leyyIng duty on goods IN excess
of the difference in the cost of produ cIion,
but heretofore the cost OF production has
been based on labor in Great Britain. But
what are we going to do in the case of
Japan? The condition of the people IS
peculiar. The rate of wages and cost of
living is a mere trife compared with ours.
Are we to be gu ded by their rate OF wages
and cost of living?
at is important that action be taken in
the matter promptly. Probably the most
practical thing to be done would be for
Congress to appoint committee to go to
Japan and look into the matter and study
the question. There should be little delay,
for whatever is to be done would necessa-
rily take some time to carry out. Our sal
vation In that respect lies in the fact that
1t will take Japan some time to get In a
position to do much exporting"
Samuel Newbauer, secretary OF the Met
ropolltan Match Company, believes that
the only salvation is in an increase in the
duty. "As to Matches" he said last night,
1.-The duty is altogether too low as 1t is. A
small reduction in the price OF Imported
matches would knock out the match
making industry in this country alto
gether. The Japanese have been sending
in matches for some time of certain kinds,
and, with their low wages, could, with
very little trouble, manufacture all kinds
and land them here at prices that we couiu
not compete with. Our only hope is in
Congress, and something should be done
quickly to bring the matter to its atten-
ton

CLIFTON ON HIS MUSCLE,
The English Gentleman From
Burlingame Whips AL
Hess.
Suspected He Was Duped-Sequel of a
Flying Trip to Stockton by
Special Train.

Talbot Clifton of Burlingame donned his
warpaint last night and in consequence the
scalp of AL Hess, the racehorse tout, dan
giles from his belt.
In the billiard hall of the Palace Hotel
the following story was told:
For some time Clifton has been enam-
ored of Stockton lady, who, he was led
to believe by Hess, reciprocated the pas
sion. Clifton, however, overstepped the
bonds prescribed by society in some fash
ion, and according to his friend Hess he
found himself in a disagreeable position.
o ne money would be needed in the nego-
tlations for peace, and Clifton must pros
trate himself at the feet of the young lady.
1t was necessary to do this at once. So
Clifton chartered a special train and be-
fore many hours found himself in Stock
ton. The special train cost him $516, so
the story goes. Arrived in Stockton it did
not take Clifton very long to find out that
he was the dupe of somebody. That per-
son he firmly believed was Hess and he
laid his plans accordingly.
Last night Hess appeared at his rooms
in the Palace Hotel and without much
formality told Clifton that it would take
quite further sum of money. Clifton ap-
parently acquiesced, and invited Hess in.
The unwary horseman stepped inside and
Clifton Immediately locked the door.
Calmly rolling cigarette he informed
Hess of his suspicious and that he pro-
posed to give Hess sound thrashing then
and there, and he did.
When Hess came out his face was COW
cred with blood, his head was full of
bumps and his clothes were in dilapi-
dated condition.
Mr. Clifton was without scratch, and
that is all there is to the story up to the
present time.
According to Mr.. Hauser, friend of
Lord Clifton's. and who accompanied him
on the famous flying trip, there was no
lady in the case.
''Hess induced Mr.. Clifton to charter a
special car to Stockton to see about some
ser last night. "Afterward Mr. Clifton
suspected that his leg was being pulled,
and meeting Hess to-day told him to come
to his apartments. When they met there
Mr.. Clifton told Hess what he thought of
him and punished him pretty severely.
"But there was no woman in the case; it
was mine. or an alleged mine,' added
Mr.. Hauser.

MEMBERS CONFIRMED.
One Hundred Candidates Pass the
Archbishop at st. Pau1's
Church.

There was a grand celebration at st.
Paul's Catholic Church yesterday after
noon, when 156 candidates were confirmed
by Right Rev. Archbishop Riordan. The
majority OF these were little girls ranging
in age from to l3 years, but there were
others just seeking confirmation who were
well past their childhood.
Assisting the Archbishop were Fathers
Connolly, Casey, McGinty, Mulligan,
O'Grady and Very Rev. Father Prender-
CAST. The music was by the st. PauPs
Choral Society. under the leadership of
Mrs. Amelia Quinn.
At the conclusion of the confirmation
and after Archbishop Riordan had in
voked solemn benediction, 100 boys were
enrolled into the League of the Cross.
Before administerin the pledge the
Arch bishop made brief address upon the
evils of intemperance. "If boys" he said,
were brought up in the good old-fash-
ioned way there would be little danger for
them. but now they have too much lib
erty. If the strenuous efforts which are
put forth to stop this liquor curse seem un-
called for, we have our warrant in the
Bible. Not only the Old Testament but
the New cries out against intemperance. !"
The boys were then enrolled in the order
and a grand rally of all members of the
League of the Cross was announced for
next Wednesday night.

WILSON'S OBLIGING TARIFF
Comparis on Of 1t With the Schedule

Comparis on Of 1t With the Schedule
1890 of Mr.. Mckinley.
Two things help 81. E. Reynall Of Kobe,
Japan, in his business. One is the Wilson
tariff and the other a favorable rate from
the Canadian Pacific. The difference be-
tween the two routes amounts to 25 cents
per 100 pounds, easily, on an average to Mr.
Reynall. says Mr.. Burns; and if the prod
ucts of Kobe's factories could come here
and compete even if the tariff were go per
cent higher, the inference is that their net
profit is at least so per cent to Reynall and
his agents. Mr.. Burns says that Is about
the present profit.
Take look at comparison of the Nc
Kinley and Wilson tariffs on some OF the
articles brought to this country now from
ReynalI's workshops. Mr.. Burns says he
can lay down cutlery and surgical instru-
ments in this City for half the price now
asked for similar articles in the trade.
The following bears him out:

TWO SIM ALL FIRES.
One of Them Believed to Have Been OF
Incendiary Origin.

One OF Them Believed Co Have Been OF
Incendiary Origin.
A fire which the authorities believe to
have been of incendiary origin started last
evening in the building at the southwest
corner of Twenty and Bryant streets.
The building is two-story frame, owned
and occupied up to few months ago by
Paolo Caribou. The property is now In
litigation and the present owners are un-
known.
The fire started in stable in the rear Of
the dwelling, and as the house was unoc-
cupied it is believed the blaze was started
accidentally by tramps. or perhaps inten-
tionally.
The fire communicated to the adjoining
dwelling on Twenty-sixth street, owned
and occupied by M. Kerchen, and bef ore
it was subdued about $1,000 damage in all
had been done. The alarm was turned in
from box 285.
The alarm from box 327 was for fire in
the residence of Thomas Ward at % Boice
street. About SIS worth of damage was
done.
