why the Paris Ran on the Rocks.

Captain Frederick Watkins of the
steamer Paris, which was wrecked on
the Manacle rocks, on the southeast
coast of England, has given an explana-
tion of the causes which led to the
disaster. In statement made to the
Board of Steamboat Inspectors, Mon
day, he said:
II regret to say that the casualty
was owing to an unacoountable error
on my part. 1t is about one hundred
and thirty-one miles from Cape de
Hague to the Lizard, and the run be-
tween these points would, / calculated,
occupy six hours and fifty -four
minutes. Unfortunately, l reckoned
the time on this basis for coming up
with the Lizard from twenty five
minutes to eight p. M, when abeam of
the Casquets, instead OF from twenty
two minutes to seven, p. m., when
abeam of Cape do Hague, and the
vessel was thus really eighteen miles
ahead of the position was acting upon.
In addition, the thick weather over
the land had obscured the Lizard
lights.
II attribute tine stranding to the
above cause, and take upon myself full
responsibility for it,"
This is surprising admission, coming
from veteran sailor, who has followed
the sea since 1851, held a masters
certificate since 1866, and made hun
dreds of voyages across the Atlantic
Ocean. successfully weathering many
great dangers.
The board, as a penalty, suspended
Captain Watkins license for two years.
While his statement is entitled to
respect, it will not be surprising il
many people receive it with incredulity
and incline to the belief that there
we're other reasons for the strange mis-.
hap.

Amply protected by heavy tariff,
the manufacturers of tinplate in this
country refuse to grant an increase of
wages to their employees. Meanwhile,
the consumers of tinplate pay for the
plate they need in their business, a
sum equal to the market quotation at
Liverpool, plus the tariff and freight
charges. Where the striking tinplate
workmen are benefited by this tariff
remains to be seen. Whore the con-
sumers are pinched is plainly apparent.
