MORE TROTBLE WITH TIN.

1t is just as we feared Up hobs again the
spectre Of the Crime Of 1890. Bobs up too, at
this of all times, just as the big drum beats and
the little flies squeak and the COnsecrated
Apostle Of Tariff Reform promenades out Of the
White House and the chief cOnspirator in the
aforesaid crime goes in to take his place. Truly,
this is to greet the coming. speed the parting

Ghost Of Banquo leading the march of Blrnam

Tinplate, of course; nothing else could be so
iniquitous. Tnplate. which may not. might not
must not. ought not, should not could not, would
not be made on Yankee soil. Tinplate, the plac
ing of a tariff on which to promote its manu-
facture in America was the cOnsummate crime
of all the ages, before which the Partition Of
Poland. the treason of Arnold, and even the
striking of Billy" Patterson. seemed venal
Tnpate, the shbboleth by which the elect of
the Golden Club were to be distinguished from
the excommunicate Protecionsts. Tinplate, by
the placing OF q tariff upon which Mckinleyism
marked itself with everlasting rcprobation, and
by the demand for Free Trade in which the good
ly company of the Tariff RefOrmers made their
calling and election sure
1t is from Swansea that the tidings come:
Swansea in South Wales 1t was from Swan
sea that our Tinpatc chiefly came before the
Crime Of 1890 But thai hapless town re-
ports that its trade in that commodity with the
United States is steadily declining. 1t declined
no less than - per cent last year. In 1893 il
was 3,-42 tons week In 1896 it was only
1,1OG This year three figures will express it.
Nor is that all. nor yet the worst There are

and let us hear once more the good old story.
that Tinplalc cannot be made in the United
States. ana that an industry cannot be created
through Protection. only don't tell that tale in
Swansea. Let us hear again that tariff
Tinplate could have no other possible result than
the raising Of the price of tinware To the Ameri-

Ras Alula WAS one Of the greatest OF the Abys-
snian chiefs tributary TO King Meneek. and IT

married the daughter OF Ras Area. He finally rose
to the rank OF chamberlain. was made Governor OF
Tigre, and gained the title OF Ras. His death at
the present time is serious blow 10 Menelek as

Menelek could rely upon. The only other Abys-

The reports OF Ras Alula's personality are TO the
effect that he was OF middle height with a choco-

An Eventful Voyage Ending in a

Two bows named Elmer Gibson and

their res pective homes last Sunday morn

They said they would be gone but few
hours.
Yesterday afternoon Captain Spilane

up the boys in the Oakland estuary.
1t seems that after leaving their home
the boys visited the water 'front.' hired a

about half way across they lost their oars.

they used in steering tue craft.

A Policeman and a Safe
Cracker Exchange Shots
Through a Door.
Lively Fusillade in South San
Francisco Hay and
Grain Barn.
Burglars Make Big Haul From
Kiefer's Cigar Factory on
Clay Street.

An exchange of shots through door
between Policeman C. Buckley and safe
cracker at an early hour yesterday morn
ing resulted in no damage to either
party.
Between 1 and 2 o'clock Buckley
reached the corner of Fifteent and Rail-
road avenues, South San Francisco, and
saw the figure of a man standing in front
of John Slumpf & Sons hay and grain
store.
Thinking it was Policeman George
O'Connell, whom he had left on the cor
mex few minutes before. he called out:
What did you come back for, George? 2"
The supposed George did not reply, but
darted off into the darkness. Buck ley saw
that something was wrong, and, hearing
noise in the Office he tried 10 open the
door.
There was a safe.cracker inside, and
Buckley was nearly perforated by a bullet
that was fired through the door at him.
He quickly pulled his revolver, and he
and the safe cracker kept shooting
through the door till their re- voIvers were
emptied. Buckley then forced open the
door, but meantime the safe-cracker had
made his ESCAPE.
Buckley found that the safe, which was
an Ola one, naQ Deen forced open. The
knob had been broken off, and the rest
. was easy. All that was in the safe was
, $12 counterfeit money and 81 so in good
coin which the safe-cracker had taken
away with him.
The job was reported to police head
quarters yesterday morning by Lieutenant
Bennett and Detectives SiIvey and Crock
EFT were detailed on the case. 1t is

young men who made an unsuccessful!

Fog 0bscured a View of
the Greater Portion
of the Racing.
Prompto, a Silent One, Dropped
in Winner of the Open
ing Event.
Dr.. Sharp Easily Beaten by San
Mateo- Oonley Landed With
Daylight in a Hard Drive.

From a spectacular point of view the
racing at Iugleside yesterday was an igno-
minious failure. A heavy fogbank rolled
in from the ocean just before the horses
were called to the post for the first race,
and only at intermittent spells did it lift
long enough to get an obscure look at the
horses. a sickly grin overspread the
faces Of favorite players when Prompto,
a Is to shot, galloped in winner of the
opening event. and it gave way to a
corpseIike look as one after another of the
first choices finished back in the fog.
After Prompto the winning horses were:
San mateo, to l; Daily Racing Form, 6
to l; Daylight, 3 to 1, and Chic, 10 to /.
ALI were fairly well supported with the
exception of The latter FLY.
Twelve two-year-olds started in the
opening five-furlong scramble. Hermoso
opened an even-money chance. but receded
when heavy play forced the ODDS
against Eddie Jones down from fours to
s to 5. Both Hermoso and the latter colt
were knocked out of the race at the start,
caused by Glenower stunt bling and
throwing his rider. At the end Prompto
a good looking colt by Racine, won easily
from VaIencienne, 20 to l shot piloted
by Holmes. The winner had II. Brown
in the saddle.
W. B. Sinks colt, DR.. Sharp, was the
warmest sort of favorite Tor The six-fur-
long run that followed. San Mateo is
sued from the fog i'll front and led him
past the judges eased up, three lengths to
the good. Mercntio was a close third.
The winner was to in the ring.
Daily Racing Form grabbed the next
event and decided fve-tnrlong sprint.
An cratic actor at the post, Gray, who
had the leg-up, finally managed to get a
flying start and was never caught, beating
ont the to favorite, Free Lady, over a
length in :0l%. Catawba, with Conley
In the saddle. ran an excellent race fin
lshing good third.
By Holly took the purse for the mile
and furlong run, with Daylight ex-
tended to the last pound at the end BY
Palomacita. Song and Dance was backed
down to 10 favoritism. and, as usual
gave his entertaining exhibition at The
post. He finally got away with the
bunch, but appears 10 be false alarm,
never cutting much of a figure. Conley
on Daylight, ran second to Palmerston
until the stretch was reached, and then
assuming the lead got the decision from
PaIomacita in hard drive by q head.
Colllns pulled out of the bunch opposite
the paddock, securing show honors
The final event on the card went to
Chic carrying the coIors OF Jennings &;
Co. The filly was allowed to run prac-
tlcally loose, and in 4 drive the last furlong
overlook Woodland Bale and downeG ner
half length. The winners odds receded
IN the betting from to 10 to Coupon III,
the to favorite, was unable to finish
inside the money.
