SCRANTON PLAYERS WON.
Defeated Dunmore's No. l School
Football Team Saturday.

The football game between the No. /
Dunmore school team and a picked
eleven from Scranton at No. 5 grounds
Saturday afternoon, was remarkable
for the numerous alterations in which
the players became involved and the
number of blows exchanged. The Of
ficials of the game enforced their au-
thority and with some trouble man
aged to subdue the turbulent players.
A. the lineup ii was seen that the
Dunmore team was outweighed at least
twenty pounds. Dunmore won the toss
up and chose the goal. On the kick
off the ball was caught by Coalter,
who when tackled, lost the ball. The
Scranton team by moss plays worked
to within ten feet of the goal where
they lost the ball on downs. Dunmore
then, by alternately rushing Coalter
and Cowles through the center carried
the ball to the center of the field
when they also lost the ball on downs.
The Scranton team then worked the
ball down the field until finally when
but five seconds Of the half were re-
manning, they forced Nealon through
the center for touchdown. Nealon
then kicked a goal which closed the
first half, the score standing TO in
favor of Scranton
In the second half Dunmore had the
field and Scranton the goal. Dunmore
kicked off the ball being caught by
Grimes who made a run of ten yards
before being downed. Coalter went
through center for three yards; Cowles
center for eight yards; Brown center
for five yards when it was Scranton's
ball on downs During the last rush
Turnbull and Gallena were slightly in
jured and Brady and Moran substitute
ed.
Nealon was sent through center for
ten yards; Grimes right and eight
yards and Nealon center for five yards.
In the next play the Scranton team
tried to execute a double pass, and
funbled. Moran got the ball and made
pretty run of 40 yards. Coalter then
kicked the ball which was caught by
Swift who made a run of twenty yards
before being doWned.
The lineup of the two teams were

UNITED STATES.

The only important field left in the
United States to foreign manufacturers
Of tin plate is that occupied by the
plate used in manufacturing articles
for expectation. The law permits a
payment of 80 per cent. of the duty
paid on imported tin plate to persons
who use the plate in manufacturing
articles which are exported, and eX-
porters of coal oil, canned meat and
similar articles utilize considerable
quantities of tin plate in the manufact-
ure Of their cans, used in exporting
these domestic products. This con-
sumption of tin plate for the manu-
facture of articles which are in turn
exported amounts to about 1875 900 900
pounds per annum. In 1897 the amount
of tin plate re-eXported was l39, 246, =
$50 pounds and for the fiscal year just
ended about 137,S97,570 pounds. De-
Quoting these drawback" eXporta-
tions of 1898 from the total importa-
tions of that year 1t will be seen that
only 33, ,764,I15 pounds of foreign tin
plate went into domestic Consurhption
in the United States during the fiscal
year 1898, against an average domestic
consumption of nearly 500, 900 900
pounds per annun, prior TO the begin
ming Of the manufacture OF this arti-
Gle in the United States.
Having almost completely supplied
the home market for tin plate, our
manufacturers are now beginning to
turn their attention to the foreign
market, and during the past year have
made small but promising beginning
in the expectation of their domestic
production of tin plate.
The following table shows the expor-
tation of American tin plate during
the past nine months:

BOOM In THE TIN
PLATE INDUSTRY
MANUFACToRY TO BE EsTAB-
LIsHED AT PITTsBURa.
Interesting Figures Regarding the
Industry Which Bids Fair to Be-
come One of the Most Prominent
in the Country-Imports and
Manufacture of Tin Plate from
1889 to 1898.
Special to The Tribune.

Washington, Sept. 25.-The announce
ment that the former owners of the
largest tin plate establishment in the
world have disposed of their works at
Swansea. Wales, and are about to es-
tablish a mandatory in the vicinity
of Pittsburg adds interest to some fig
ures Just compiled by the treasury bu-
reau of statistics regarding the tin
plate productions and importations of
the United states during the past de-
cade and including the fiscal year just
ended.
Tin plate, as Is well known, was not
produced in any considerable quanti-
ties in the United skates prior to 1891.
The tariff act placing a duty of 2.2
cents Wer pound on tin plate was en-
acted Oct. 1, 1890. and the govern
ment statistics of tin plate production
cover the period beginning with July
/, 1891. The production in the fiscal
year erding June so, 1892, was 73,646. .719
pounds; in the following year, 99,Sl6,-
202 pounds; in the fiscal year 1894, 139,-
223, ,4s7 pounds; in the fiscal year 1893,
1873, SOLOS pounds: in the fiscal year
1896. 207,22S.62l pounds; in the fiscal
year 1897 446, ,9S2, ,063 pounds. and for the
fiscal year 1898, is estimated by eX-
perts at 64OoOO,0OO pounds. the official
figures for the year being not yet avail
able. Meantime the decrease ir impor-
tations of tin plate has kept pace with
the increase in domestic production.
The imports of the fiscal year 1891 were
1.036. 4S9 04 pounds, being much above
the former average by reason of the
desire of importers to anticipate in i'm
portations the tariff rates imposed by
the act which went into effect during
that fsal year. Those of the fiscal
year 1892 were 422.176202 pounds: those
Of 1898. 62S, 425. .9O2 pounds; those of 1894,
Asa, 100 S26 pounds; of 1895, 5OS,03S.93S

1t will be observed that in each year
since 1892 there has been an annual
increase of about so per cent. in pro-
duction of tin plate in the United
States, and that since that time there
has been steady fall in importations
until those of 1898 were but about one
fourth Of the average annual impor-
tations prior to the date at which the
manufacture of this article in the Unit
ed States began.
The decrease in the amount OF mon
ey sent out of the country in the pur-
chase of tin plate is even more strongly
marked than that relating to the i'm
portation. The value of tin plate i'm
ported in 1889 was s21, ,222, ,653, while
that for 1898 was but $500, 14S being
but about one-sixth of the amount
sent out of the country for this purpose
in 1889.
The following table shows the value
of tin plate imported into the United
states by years from 1889 to 1873, Lni
the average value per pound. 1t will
be observed that the annual price per
pound has fallen over 81 per cent. since
1891.
