Manufacture Of Tin Plates VIII be
Started.
The Necessary Iron Ores Are to
be Found Close at Hand and
Tin Can be Had From Tasmania
Cheaper Than Eastern Manu-
facturePs Can Get 1.-THE Pa
cific Coast Uses $1,000 Tons of
Tin Plate Annually.

SEATTLE, Sept. 19-William Price
of McKeesport, Pa, is here represent
ing the heavily capitalized company of
Pennsylvanians who are to erect and
operate steel plant at Port Angeles.
Mr.. Price states that work will be
commenced within sixty days and
pushed to completion The prime OBJ
ject of the large plant which will be
erected will be the manufacture of tin
plates. The process will be started in
a blast furnace and ended with the
shipment of high-class tinpates to their
destination.
From the conversion of the ore into
pig-iron, the product will be sent to
the open hearth steel plant, where it
will be turned into bars. The rolling
mill will reduce the bars to plates OF
the requisite thickness and the plates
in turn will pass through several baths
to remove the oxide of iron. The next
step toward turning out a finished
plate is to dip the plates in melted
tin, and the finishing process is to pass
the plates through rollers which polish
the deposit of tin. The tin that will be
used will be imported from Tasmania,
and can be laid down on the sound
for much less than in the Eastern
manufacturing towns of the United
States.
When it is considered that the Pa
cific Coast alone uses 81, 900 tons of tin
plate annually" said Mr.. Price, IAN ex-
cuse is offered for the building of
plant for its manufacture. At Iron
dale above Port Townsend, they start
ed in a little blast furnace, using char
coal, and it could not last. 1ron-that
is. good iron-is the result of mixing
and blending different ores. These
ores are all here in Washington, but
the mines have not been developed.
Our idea in going to Port Angeles is
to be near the ore, the coal, and at the
same time be near points of consump-
ton. In selecting Port Angeles we find
all of these requisites. Our first iron.
until local mines are developed, will
come from Barclay Sound, B. c., but
the other ores necessary to first-class
finished pig will be mined near Dun
genneSS."

VOLUNTARY EXILES.
Two Guatemalans Come Here Till
Trouble Blows Over.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19.-Among
the passengers on the steamer Colon,
which arrived from Central America to-
day, were two prominent citizens OF
Guatemala, both of whom have thought
it expedient, for political reasons, to re-
main for awhile away from the scene
of hostilities in that country.
The best known of these voluntary
refugees is Manuel Morales Tobal who
finds himself embarrassed by the fact
that while Minister of Agriculture I'M
der Barrios, he is cousin of Prospero
Morales, the revolutionary leader. He
obtained leave of absence, his resigna-
ton, on account of illness, being re-
fused, and came to this country, osten-
sibly to place his daughter in school.
His companion is Francisco E. Tole-
do, a lawyer who was one of the re-
Gently deposed Congressman, and with
Aledo de Leon was imprisoned for three
days by order of Barrios, after the
latter had proclaimed himself dictator.
He is an avowed sympathizer with the
Tevolutionists, and expects the ulti-
mate success of Morales, who, he says,
is favored by most of the generals in
the demoralized army of 10000 men.
However, he does not deny the consti-
tutional power of Congress to extend
the Presidential term. He describes
the situation as chaotic, and will await
the result of the revolt in this country.
AS the steamer left Guatemala before
the recent stirring events, already re-
ported in these dispatches, they had
nothing to relate in the way Of news,
except to confirm the published ac-
counts of the dissolution of Congress,
and the proclamation of a dictatorship
by BarrioS.

LUETGERT HAD A FIGHT.
Defense Will Probably Open Up on
Tuesday Afternoon.

CHICAGO. Sept. let came to light
to-day that Luetgert, the alleged wife
murderer. INDUCED in a fight last
Wednesday afternoon with William
Young. a prisoner confined in the same
tier on the charge of robbery. The
ex-sausage manufacturers lameness is
not due to rheumatism, as was given
out by himself and his guards. but to
the result of Young's hurting him back
wards against the pavement of the jail
corridor to save himself from Luet-
gert's big fists.
The affair started in a friendly scuf-
fle. but when Luetgert saw that his
opponent was getting the better of
him he lost his temper and began
rushing his man" Young, however,
who is quick and muscular. caught his
opponent around the waist and liter
ally hurled him backwards about TWEEN
ty feet against the tile pavement and
steel door. Luetgert had to be help
ed to his feet and almost carried to his
cell The Jail physician says the fall
wrenched one of the ligaments of the
thigh, and it may be weeks before he
fully RECEIVERS.
When the trial is resumed Tuesday,
the prosecution is expected to consume
only the morning session in winding
az, its case. The defense viii divide its
rebuttal evidence into two parts. First,
they will attempt to show that Mrs
Luetgert was seen and talked with af-
ter the night she is said to have been
murdered. If the Kenosha alibi is
touched upon, it viii be but lightly,
and this will probably be held in re-
serve The principal part of the evil
dence will be an attempt to explain
the remarkable chain of circumstances
which the State claims shows that
Mrs. Luetgert was murdered by her
husband.

SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.

Def ROIT, Sept. ia meeting of
the Detroit branch of Social Democracy
this afternoon formulated resolutions
roundiy condemning the action Of Sher-
iff Martin and his deputies in firing on
the miners, and demanded their trial
for murder. They also declared that
the Pennsylvania and West Virginia
Judges who had rendered alleged un-
just decisions in the government by
injunction" cases should be impeached.
Several extreme socialists were pres
ent and wrathfully contended that
there should be no appeal to Govern
rlent in such matters, but that Venge-
ance should be had by the people
themselves. They tried to shout down
the resolutions and denounced the
Chairman for appointing a committee
to draft them. After a long, hot
wrangle the gathering broke up with
out declaring itself.

report that the snow fell one and a
half feet deep on Skaguay trail This
means that further progress cannot be

The slippery, sliding snow. will render

to stop further progress over both Dyea

RELIEF FOR KLoNDIKERs.
Secretary A1ger Formulates Plans
for Sled Trains.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-TWO rep
resentatives of the North American
Trading and Transportation Company.
-Messrs. 2. B. Weare and Michael Cud-
ahy OF Chicago, arrived here to-day.
They came at the special request Of
Secretary of War Alger, who desired to
confer with them in regard to the ques-
ton of sending relief supplies to the
gold seekers in the Klondike country
should the investigation now being
made by Captain Ray of the army
show such measures to be necessary.
The two gentlemen We're in consulta-
ton with Secretary Alger the greater
part of the evening.
Secretary Alger said tonight that
nothing final had been determined upon
and that nothing would be until a re-
port had been received from Captain
Ray.
His report is expected here about
the middle of October.
An important matter upon which
Secretary Alger especially desired the
opinion of Messrs. Weare and Cudahy
was the feasibility of a locomotive
sled designed to draw logs and other
material over the earth. This has been
in successful operation in the logging
camps in Wisconsin, and its adapta-
bility to this work Influenced the Sec
rotary to believe that it might be put
into uIeration in Alaska if relief meas
ures be necessary. The reports of the
trading company expressed the opinion
that the sleds might be feasible for the
purpose contemplated
Messrs. Weare and Cudahy say there
are ample provisions for 5000 men for
one year at st. Michaels. and they be-
leve that if found necessary the sleds
could be used to transport the supplies
TO Dawson City during the coming
winter.

several ministers urged that the con-
duct of the police be thoroughly inves

cordingly sent to Governor Rebollar of
the Federal district for transmission
to the Inspector General, in which the
latter was informed that he must give
up his Office Immediately. He is cen
sured for not having taken proper pre-
cautions in guarding the prisoner. The
arrests then followed.
If the police authorities are proven
criminally negligent in guarding the
prisoner they will undoubtedly be Sc
verely punished and whoever took part
in the killing of the prisoner will be
held for murder.
