KNIFE DUELS IN SPAIN.

From the Anglo American Magazine.
The frequency of bloody knife ducls
in the cities of Southern Spain is
something appalling to foreigners.
Among the lower classes every man
carries a murderous knife, the blade of
which is usually twelve or fourteen
inches long, and of razor-like sharp
ness. 1t is called a faca. The entire
man and boy population carry whistles,
pito de Carretilla. These whistles are
used for the purpose of announcing
that a street fight with knives is about
to begin. Everybody within hearing
when a whistle blows rushes to the
scene and is sure to witness the seri-
Gus manning if not the killing of one
or both Combatants. Statistics indi-
cate that for every 100000 inhabitants
there is an average of one death per
day resulting from these knife duels.

at least an equally large volume of
business with the first half of the
year"
From another article in the same
paper it is learned that there are 2SS
tin plato mills in active operation in
this country, an increase of eight dur
ing the quarter ending June 90, 1899.
OF these mills, 272, or nearly % per
cent, are owned and operated by the
American Tin Plate company. These
mills of the trust have a producing
capacity of 100000 boxes a year.
MACHINERY PROBLEM.
Mr.. Torbet says there is a serious
question as to whether or not ma
chinery can be secured for a new tin
plate mill within a reasonable length
of time. as the trust has secured con-
troll of the total output of all the man
ufacturers in the country, save one, for
the next five years. As this one in
dependent factory must supply the
needs of all mills not in the trust and
all mills that may be erected it is
apparent that there will be some diff
Guilty in having an order filled out with
any degree of despatch
This question with the others Will
be answered by Mr.. Torbet in the re-
port which he has promised to pre-
pare for the board of trade. He hopes
to have it ready in time for the MEM
bers to thoroughly digest it before the
sessions of the board are resumed in

The exclusive announcement made
in The Tribune of last Wednesday that
the new Young Mems Christian asso-
citation building will be erected on the
Blair property at Washington avenue
and Mulberry street was confirmed
yesterday by an official announcement
made by the officers of the associa-
ton that the Blair property had been
secured in exchange for the old Young
Mems Christian association site on
Wyoming avenue and that the bonus
of $4,000 referred to in The Tribune
has been guaranteed by the property
owners of Washington avenue, who
feel that the erection of a handsome
association building in their locality
will be a great benefit to them.
The trustees and directors refused
to make any final decision until un-
animous action can be had. Several
propositions We're entertained, but the
present transaction is the only one
which seemed to command universal
support from all concerned.
A SPLENDID SITE.
That the present site will be a splen-
did one for the purpose is evident.
Bein corner lot, it will give what
the association must have for the pro-
posed new building, with its dormi-
tory features so permanent as q source
of revenue and means of usefulness to
many young men.
The copy for the prospectus of in
structions to architects who propose
to compete for the new building will
be issued Saturday and will contain
the list of requirements for the build
ing.
a cafe, drug store, barber shop and
doctors offices will occupy part of
the first floor. The rest Of the space
being taken for well arranged rooms
for a work for boys.
The association officers reception
rooms, etc. will be on the second floor.
The third floor of both front and rear
buildings will be occupied by the class
rooms of the John Raymond insti-
tute of Manual Training. The upper
floors will contain 100 rooms for men,
THE HALL AND GYM.
Both the hall and the gymnasium
will be on the ground floor and will
| be two stories in height. A splendid
| natatorium, baths, bowling alley, etc.
| will occupy the basement. The build.
| ing will be equipped with elevators
| and will possess, among other inter.
| csting features, roof garden which
| will, no doubt, be a popular summer
| evening resort with the members. Il
is understood that a great canvass FOL
the balance of funds needed will b,
conducted through the summer anC
vigorously pushed during the early
| fall.

Secretary u. Il. AthertOn of the
board of trade yesterday received
letter from l.. *. Torbet, the Chi
Cago man who wants to locate tin
plate factory here, in which he en-
closes some interesting data concern
ing the tin plate industry and pro-
mise to further comply with the sec
retary's request by forwarding in the
near future a detailed statement of
the condition Of the trade, the cost of
plant and other such Information
that the board would likely desire.
Among the data forwarded ycster-
day were some clippings from the Me
tai Workers. the recognized organ of
the metal trade. Thcy show that
Scranton lost a good thing when it
did not accept Mr.. Torbets offer made
five years ago to establish a tin plate
factory here.
July /. 1898, tin plate sold for $3.50
per hundred pounds; Jan. ], 1899, it
was selling for $3.50. At present it
sells for $i.O5, and it is hard to get at
that.
INCREASE IN PRICE.
Commenting on the remarkable in
crease in the selling price of tin and
other metals, the article says that
these conditions are brought about by
the natural laws of supply and de-
mand. and further on states: "Judg-
ing from present conditions, there is
no likelihood of lower prices this year,
while, on the other hand, they may go
still higher as scarcity develops in 9TH
cr lines. There Is no sign of any
check in the consumption of products
