REPLY TO ARCHBOLD.
HI. ID. Lloyd Charges Standard Oil
Company with Determination.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Industrial
Commission to-day made public an affi-
davit made by Henry d. Lloyd. author of
Wealth Against Commonwealth" in re-
Spouse to charges made by John d. Arch
bold, of the Standard Oil Company, In his
testimony before the commission. In this
testimony Mr.. Archbold commented on the
character of the book and the motives of
its author. saying that it was one-sided
and unreliable, and intimating that Mr..
Lloyd hoped to make something out of
the oil company through the prosecution
of the Rice case against the company.
All these charges are denied by Mr.. Lloyd,
who says the statements made by him
based entirely on official and court rec
ords. He charges direct connection be-
tween the Standard OH Company and the
old South Improvement Company, of Penn
sylvania, and says that occurrences since
the publication of his book indicate the
continuance to the Standard Company to
within recent times of railroad fayors
made TO the Improvement company. In
this connection he refers to the testimony
taken by the Interstate-commerce Com
mission in Boston in 1888 going to show
that the Boston & Albany Railroad is
Undertaking. cars OF the oil trust to such
an extent that in some cases half of such
shipments in Massachusetts went free"
Mr.. Lloyd also says: 1.-THE evidence taken

1900 by the Canadian parliamentary COM
mission, IL correctly reported, seems TO in
dieate that the same South Improvement

BENEFIT TO CONSUMERS
DUTY ON TEA is PROTECTION
AGAINST IMPORTED TRASH.
Graeme Stewart Gives Reasons for
Opposing Removal of Tariff-Fa-
vored Only by Exporters.

CHICAGO, Nov 17.-Graeme Stewart of
the executive committee of the Republican
national committee, said, to-day, in dis
cussing efforts that are being made to
have Congress remove the duty on tea:
Neither the importers, jobbers, retail deal
er or consumer of teas of good grade de-
sires the removal of duty of 10 cents per
pound. The only persons who are clamoring
for such change are the japanese ex-
porters and the auction dealers in New
York. These handle low-grade tea, which
is unfit for any one to drink and which, un-
der the present law cannot be brought
into this country owing to the rigid inspec-
ton provided by the revenue act. In 1898
the tea-inspection act went into effect, but,
in fact, it was a dead letter. There was no
duty on tea and, consequently, il did not
have to be entered at any customs house,
consequently, the inspection could be
lodged with ease, and thereby teas of low
er grade than the law recognized came in.
When. under the war revenue act. the tax
was levied. inspection was assured and the
grades of tea imported Immediately i'm
proved, since the trash could not come in.
This tax, contrary to expectations. did
iot iHCISdSS Tire price VI tea either 10 the
jobber retail dealer or consumer. The i'm
porter paid the tax. This is shown by the
fact that tea which before the tax was
levied sold for 80 cents per pound now sells
at "a cents, tax included. Thus the con-
sumner has been benefited both in the quail
ity of the tea and in price. We want the
tax to remain and are willing to pay 1T
solely for the protection against trashy
tea.
1.-The effort that is making TO have the
tariff removed is injuiring business all
over the country, for hundreds of mer-
chants are afraid TO buy now lest the re-
moval of the tax may hurt them. They
should be assured that no change will be
made.
Russia, the greatest tea-drinking coun-
try in the world, has the heaviest tax and
the most perfect system of inspection and
is satisfied with the law. England taxes
tea and inspects Ii. We now have a law
and system which is all that could be
asked and / think it wise to let well
enough alone. There is not an importer of
high grade tea in the country but favors
the tax 1t keeps out the 7-cent, Decent
and 15-cent tea which is redried, WORKOUT

players who went to Havana under con-
tract to play series of exhibition games.
but on arrival some misunderstanding
with the Cuban clubs prevented the carry
ing out of the terms. Finally several
games were played, but without much
profit Ten of the players became dis
gusted with the situation and returned
home. The others will stay awhile in Cuba
and arrange games with the local players

FRICTION AT TIEN-TsIN.
Several Encounters Between Ameri-
can and French Soldiers.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
TIEN-TSIN, China. Oct. 24.-The presence
of a large number of troops here. I'm con-
tiguous camps and with naturally existing
national prejudices, is causing considerable
friction and several unpleasant Incidents
have occurred. So far. however. none OF
them has progressed beyond the stage OF
incidents easily adjusted. and on all sides
there Is very evident disposition TO treat
these occurrences as the natural result OF
military conditions. One OF the chief causes
Of friction has been the number Of pontoon
bridges thrown across the river. There are
three OF these within the space OF a mile.
and as the river IL crowded with junks and
towboats some conflict has been the re-
suit Most of the trouble has occurred at
the French bridge. and twice trouble has
resulted between the French guards and
the American sentries on the boats. A few
days ago a string OF twenty junks coming
down stream was held up at the French
bridge for several hours. In spite OF the
protests OF the American guards on board.
Finally word reached the American head
quarters OF the condition OF affairs. and an
officer was sent up 90 the bridge. He found
a French sentinel on tbs forward boat anu
promptly ordered him on There was =

REPLIES TO GEN. WEYLER
GENERALS SKATER AND BRECKIN-
RIDGE DISCUSS THE CUBAN WAR.
One of the Chief Causes Of the Loss
of the Island to Spain Was the
Conduct of the ssButcher."

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. H.-General
Shafter, when asked to comment on Gen.
Weyler's criticism Of the Spanish conduct
of the war in Cuba, was not inclined 10
take Weylers assertions seriously. He said
that, evidently, Weyler was talking for ef-
feet, as every military man knew that the
Spaniards in Cuba, without the aid or
fleet to prevent the landing of invaders In
any required numbers, could not have held
the island against the Americans. General
Shafter added: 81 do not wish to talk OF
Weyler's record in Cuba, or whether he has
received just censure. 1t Is very well known
that the force of Spain in Cuba outnum-
bered by several times the force landed for
the reduction of Santiago, but there were
few to operate against the American
troops. Had the twenty-one thousand
troops stationed at other points not far
from Santiago promptly moved TO the at
tack of the Fifth Army Corps, the difficult
ties of the Americans would have been
greatly increased, but don't think they
could have been driven into the sea- 1t is
possible, however, that IL these troops had
co-operated with the three thousand that
did reinforce the troops of Santiago on the
night of July 2. in making a vigorous at
tack. they might have placed the Ameri-
can army on the defensive for a few days,
but the ultimate capture of Santiago could
only have been delayed. General Linare' $
kilograms 10 his government as 20 the con-
ditiOn OF affairs clearly indicate this. That
the fleet was necessary for the preser IA
ton Of Spanish possession an Cuba was
shown by the fact that immediately 2fter
its destruction, and the surrender of 24.o5o
of the $50 900 soldiers then in Cuba, over
lures for peace were commenced, the island
being then absolutely at the mercy of the
American army and navy. Results are more
conclusive than theories, and what Gen.
Weyler might or might not have done is a
matter which appears TO be OF very little
interest at this time"

NEW YORK. Nov. H-General Weyler's
recent declaration of what he would have
done had he remained in Cuba interests
those officers in Washington who partici-
pated in the Cuban campaign. Brig. Gen.
]. G. Breckenridge. Inspector of the army,
is quoted in Herald dispatch from Wash
ington, follows: IF General Weyler had
done differently from what he proposed
the loss of Cuba to Spain might not have
been expedited. 1t was on account of Wey-
ler's army in Cuba that the United States
determined TO do what was possible in the
cause Of humanity, which he had so great
ly abused. The plan of campaign in Cuba
was, of course. that the war was one in
volving the problem of the dominion of the
seas, and whichever nation acquired that
secured the island as surely as a ripe apple
would drop when the tree was shaken. The
course of events, as well as the military
situation, decided the contest against
Spain, and one of the prominent causes of
the loss Of Cuba was the conduct of Gen.
Weyler"
