Picked Up by a Car Fender, She Es-

Picked Up by q Car Fender, She Es-
capped Unfnjured.
A handsome young woman on a wheel
attempted to cross the car tracks on 14th
street at New York avenue about o'clock
last evening, and in her zeal to keep her
pretty blue eyes on the two cars going and
coming on the Columbia line, the four cars
going and coming On the Metropolitan and
the two coming down 14th street, she quite
overlooked the two coming up 14th, and
the grip car on this train caught her. She
saw it when 1t was within a few feet of
her, and in attempting to turn the wheel
slipped and she dropped to the track. The
gripman had the brake on, but the car
struck the young woman, who was on her
hands and knees. trying 10 crawl away.
and the fender gracefully and pleasantly
picked her off the ground and carried her
along in security till the car stopped.
1t was a sight to make the blood run
cold and the hair to stand on end. but
when the rescuers reached the girl ana
fished her out she was scarcely rufiied. and
all she asked for was to let ner get Oh her
wheel and depart In peace. She was the
most If-possessed person in the entire
crowd, and her cheeks were as pink and
her eyes as bright AS when she went down
In the wreck. Her hand was steady, TOO.
and when she signed a card the conductor
gave her there wasn't a sign of shake in
her signature
The young lady stopped at the Oxford
Hotel long enough to wash her hands. and
gave opportunity for some ten or q dozen
polite young men to tumble all over them
selves in their chivalric efforts to straight
en- the chain guard on her wheel. and then
she hied herself away. without telling any
body except the conductor who she was.
and his car was by this time clear out to
the Boundary.

SAYS JONES WAS MISTAKEN.
Ex-President Cleveland Comments On
Senator Jones' Interview.

senator Jones' Interview.
Ex-President Cleveland was seen at ha
Bayard avenue home in Princeton by
of the New York Times. and
asked If he had anything to say concerning
the statement made by Senator Jones In
the Senate on Friday to the effect that he
(AIr. Cleveland) had said to him (Senator
Jones) that he thought the one-fourth cent
on raw sugar was necessary to the Ameri-
can refiners, and that a one-eighth-cent
rate would drive the refiners out Of busi-
ness. Mr.. Cleveland, on being shown the
statement of Senator Jones, said:
81 have no desire to enter into dispute
with the senator on this subject, but his
statement leads me to believe that he is
certainly laboring under a misapprehension
as to the character of any interview with
me on the subject. / never assumed to
know and absolutely cared nothing about
what rate of taxation on sugar would be
sufficient to either maintain the sugar trust
or to yield II profits. and everybody that
had any conversation with me during the
trpbleous time of tariff conference could
not fail to he aware of my position. have
always believed sugar to be legitimate
and eminently proper subject for tarin
taxation, and my anxiety only extended to
subjecting ii to fair tribute to necessary
revenue with as little burden to the people
as was consistent TO that purpose"

The lament Of london INDUSTRIES and Iron
that May 1897, was the smallest month on
record regarding exports of tin plate to the
United States may have been repeated
when the figures for June were published.
June was the second smallest month on
record In the first half of last year the
exports to the United States amounted to
So 622 long tons. so that the exports for the
same period this year show dech4e or
about IA per cent. The exports this year
represent tin plates shipped to packers and
others who get the drawback of SO per cent.
Of the duty plates shipped by way or the
Pacific ocean, and some few special grades
for general COnSumntiOn.

THE TIN-PLATE INDUSTRY.
Its Great Strides Since Mckinley
Opened the First Mil.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-The Times-Herald
says: American tin plate has entered the
foreign market. 1t has already captured
the home market and has driven out its
British competitors. It has seized the last
stronghold of the product of the Welsh
mines on the Pacific coast, and the manu-
facturers of tin plate have gained reduced
freight rates from the Pacific roads so they
can compete successfully with the cheaper
sea rates from England.
The shipments of tin plate to Italy and
England by the American Tin Plate Com
pany, of Elwood, Ind, on Wednesday mark
the first attempt of American manufactur-
ers of tin plate to follow their competitors
over the seas with the native product 1t is
expected that within a few years the Amer
lcan product will be able to hold it's own in
Europe even against cheap labor Tin-plate
bars are already cheaper here than in Eng
land, and the British manufacturers are
now deplOring the decline of their trade
England has been forced to seek other mar
kets for its tin plate.
The infant tin-plate industry, first fos-
tered by the Mckinley law, has grown in to
giant In hVe years When the factory
which has helped to drive British competf-
tors back across the seas, and just followed
up the victory by exporting its own tin
plate, was opened with great ceremony
Sept. 13, 1892, William Mckinley was pres
ent. He addressed those at the opening and
predicted the rapid rise of the tin-plate in
duStry under the protection given il by Con-
gress. His prediction has been borne out
in a way that not even the most sanguine
of the pioneer manufacturers dared to i'm
aSine.
From a handful of mills with a small out
put in 1892 the industry has grown rap
idly that tin plate is now being manufac-
tured in nearly 200 hot mills all over the
country. Now that the Dingley law is in
effect it is expected the first exports to Ell
rope will mark a trade with other countries
which in time will almost equal the home
market. The British manufacturers have
finally recognized that they are unable to
cope with the tin plate made in this coun-
try and they feel they have been forced out
of the field.
The only buyers Of imported tin plate to-
day are meat packers and the Standard Oil
Company. These are allowed rebate of so
per cent. of the duty imposed on the prod
uct of the Welsh mines If the tin Is made
into cans here and exported when contain
ing meat and oils. The rebate makes the
cost OF tin cans less than the figure at
ford to sell his product. There is no rebate,
however, for tin cans made for the home
market.
Within five years the imports of tin plate
from England have been cut down at least
one-half, and the business of the American
ito. Up TO the passage of the Mckinley bill
no tin plate had been made in the United
States The duty on imported tin plate
Jumped from ! cent to 10 cents a pound
under that law and the mills began to
SIXTY-NINE FACTORIES.
Under the old law the cost of labor had
been so much higher than I'm tne United
Kingdom that American manufacturers re-
