per cent on $27 100000, to be applied to

Demands of Increased Navy.
Col. Charles Haywood, commanding the
marine corps, in his annual report to the
Secretary of the Navy, makes strong
appeal for an increase in the enlisted
strength of the corps to meet the addi-
tional duties imposed by the increase of
the navy. Col. Haywood estimates that
900 marines on shore are needed for the
protection of millions Of dollars worth of
Government property in their charge, a
number 300 in excess of the marines now
engaged in that duty. In addition to this,
it is estimated that about $50 more men
will be required for the new vessels now
under construction.

East Mail Wrecked.

A deliberate attempt was successfully
made a few miles west of Rome, n. y, to
wreck train No. q on the New York Cen
trail Railroad, the engine and all of the
cars on the train being ditched and com
pletely wrecked. The engineer of the
train, Nate Hager, of Albany, and two
tramps were killed. The fireman, Chris
Wagner, of Albany, and Mail Clerks Por-
ter and Nj. j. Mccarthy were injured.
This is the second attempt within three
weeks to wreck the same train near the
same spot, which is an ideal one for the
commission of such a crime. 1t is on a
heavy down grade, and trains usually run
down it at the rate of sixty-ive miles an
hour This train, not stopping at Rome,
generally goes down the grade at n great
rate of speed, and it is believed that 1t
must have been running close to seventy
five miles an hour. in order to make up a
few minutes lost time. There is not a
house within half mile of the place The
wreckcrs broke into the section tool house
and stole some tools, with which they re-
moved the fish plates which fasten the
rails to the ties. and pulled out the spikes.
Engineer Hager went down with his en-
CINE, and must have been instantly killed.
The fireman, Chris Wagner, was badly
injured about the head, and it is feared
that he is internally hurt. The two
tramps who were found dead are sup
posed to have been stealing ride on the
forward end Of the first mail car, direct
ly in the rear Of the engine.

Fear She Has Foundered.

Ii the British ship Lord Brassey, now
over 100 days out from Shanghai, has not
foundered at sea and arrives in port she
will be seized by the British Consul and
forfeiture proceedings will be instituted
by the British Government. From Off
cial documents received from the Gus
toms Department at Shanghai, it appears
that Capt. Cunning obtained a custom
house clearing by fraud and forgery in
order that he might man the ship with
inexperienced sailors. The United States
Government, too, has big claim on the
ship. She cleared and sailed from Shang-
hal without first obtaining American Con-
sular bills of health. Ten days after the
ship left Shanghai strong typhoon was
experienced i'm the China seas and the sub
sequent sighting of lot of ship wreck
age leads to the opinion that the Lord
Brassey foundered with all hands. The
Lord Brassey was one of the finest En-
glish vessels on the Pacific Ocean, cost
ing over $250,O00. The vessel is well
insured.

Season of Hating.

II. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says: In every business men now
perceive the fact that the purchases in ad-
vance of current distribution, which were
made when prices were booming, in
volved of necessity a season of hating
when the rise stopped and until the
actual demand for consumption has been
measured. Products are lower, without
disturbance or sign of panic. The more
sober estimates of wheat months ago
rose 50,O00,0O bushels or more above the
government and speculative guesses, and
now, a reputable estimate of 475,OOO,OOO
bushels excites little remark Prices have
declined about 1 cent. Corn declined
half a cent. Pork products also had rea-
son for weakening, lard 10 cents per 100
pounds and pork % cents per barrel.

men, like sensible men saw it was

from 10 to 20 per cent.
Thus it happened that while

they were going down in America.
MI. Cleveland's Consul at Cardiff

Nor, indeed, is any explanation
necessary. The facts speak for
themselves. The passage of the

sole cause of the phenomenon. It

the Ocean, and that foreign and
not American workmen are its
benefciaries.
These benefciaries, to come
down to details, are the employees
of the great Tin Plate Trust of
South Wales and Monmouthshire,
in whose interest the late demo-
cratic congress reduced the pro-
lection on tin plate from p cents
per pound to II cents, and there
by afforded a most unexpected and
undesirable answer to the vexed
question, "Who pays the duty?'
These Welsh monopo]ists have
good reason to believe that they
had been paying it themselves,
and seeing their American mark
cts steadily drift away from them
into the bargain, with the steady
multiplication of competing Amer
lean factories, they very naturally
set out, therefore, to pocket all of
that cent pound bonus
which the Clevelands and the
Wilson's and the Germans and the
Breckenbridges had kindly con-
ferred upon them but unfortu-
nately presumptious employees
would not have it. The workmen
informed the exultant Welsh mill
bosses that there would be a strike
if they did not divide the swag.
They demanded an increase in
wages, a restoration to the old fig
ures of 1874. and as the Welsh
manufacturers are prudent men,
who believe in making hay while
the sun shines and tin plate while
the duties are low, they got it.
Significantly enough, at just the
same time there was a change in
wages in the tin plate industry on
this side of the ocean, but it was
in the other direction. 1t was
downward. The 40 American tin
plate mills which have grown up
under the increased Mckinley
duty found themselves in a criti-
cal position when the vindictive
Southern politicians took almost,
half of their protection away from
them. Their managers saw that
they mnst either reduce the labor
cost Of their products or shut
down their machinery and quit
the business. They called their
workmen together and explained
the situation to them. The work
