man Tarifr Bill.
Berlin, Dec. 14.-During the debate OF
the third reading of the tariff bill in the
reichstag yesterday it was evident from
many speeches delivered by members
of the majority that the bill is aimed
chiefly at the United States; this was
clear even when the United States was
not named, for it was understood that
the term abroad" referred to Ameri-
ca. Last night DR.. Paasche, national
liberal, made pointed reference to the
United States which most Of the news
papers this morning failed to print The
Deutsche Tagess Zeitung, the leading
agrarian organ, however, publishes Dr.
Paasche's remarks in heavy faced type.
They are doubly interesting since they
disclose the governments future with
regard to future treaty negotiations
I'VE expect" said DIR. Paasche, that
the government will undertake a thor
ough going revision of all treaties Civ
ing the most favored nation advantages.
Promises of this kind were made to us
in committee. We have absolutely no
occasion to concede anything to such
nations as are glad to take what we
give other countries without making us
any concession in return. The United
States has introduced the limitation Of
the most favored clause; we have every
reason to act in precisely the same
manner ~,se F

San Francisco, Dec. 14-"In memory
of John w. Mackay, I christen the
Pacific cable. May it always carry
messages of happiness
With these words, Lucille Gage,
eleven-year-old daughter of Governor
Gage of California to-day christened
the trans-Pacific cable and breaking
bottle of champagne over the shore
inaugurated new era in the CONNER
cial development Of the Pacific coast.
The landing and splicing of the shore
end, which is to connect the main land
with Honolulu, was accomplished with
out hitch and was witnessed by nearly
10000 people. Ideal weather prevailed,
there being scarcely any surf.
The steamer Newsboy, carrying six
miles of cable, steamed close in shore
early this morning and by life saw
ing boats crew sent a rope to which
the cable was attached ashore.
While the cable was being spliced to
the land end, Mayor Schmitz delivered
a short speech, congratulating Clarence
H, Mackay, president of the cable COM
pany, on the successful beginning OF
the work. He also spoke of the impor-
tance of the undertaking and the bene-
fit to the world at large that would
result from its completion.
Mr.. Mackay thanked the mayor and
those present.
Governor Gage. on behalf of the state
of California, paid a fervent tribute to
the late John Mackay. The formal ex-
ercises closed with cheers for the cable
and all those taking part in it's land
ing.
Refreshment tents were erected on
the beach and while the cable was be-
ing spliced Mr.. Mackay served cham
pagne and other refreshments to a
large number of specially invited
guests. Mr. Mackay also sent the fol-
lowing telegram to President Roose-
welt:
ST have the honor to inform you that
the end of the Honolulu cable was sue
cessfully brought to shore this morn

| When the splicing was completed late
| in the afternoon horses were hitched to
the end and the cable was drawn
through the conduit to the cable sta
ton, At the same time the steamer
Newsboy steamed out to sea five miles
and anchored the cable with balloon
buoys 1t was picked up by the cable
steamer silvertown and taken aboard
The splicing to the main body was COM
pleted tonight, and the Silvertowr
headed for Honolulu at sevon-kno1
speed.
Several tests were made as the cable
was being paid out by the NeWsboy
and it was found to be in perfect con-
dition.
A portion of the cable was cut uI
into small pieces for souvenirs and dis
tributed by President Mackay among
! his special guests.

The tug William e. Cladwisfl with

the state, and Springfield, Mass, There.
is very little space and facilities for.
their landing their cargoes, therefore
the work is much delayed.

had a narrow escape from maltreat-

cannot be confirmed from other sourc-

Italy will thus have four or five war

Every one has heard of Horace Gree
ley's handwriting and of the peculiarities
which made it famous. For complicated
and bewildering obscurity 1t stood unsur-
passed. The vagaries Of his pen in trav-
cling over a sheet OF paper bore, as it
seemed but chance resemblance to
words, and could only be translated by
those whom long practice had qualified for
the task. The following story relates an
incident in which one Of his letters was
made to serve a purpose precisely the re-
verse of that intended by the author:
ga reporter whose work was not up to
the standard required by Mr.. Greeley was
discharged. The letter of dismissal was
written in the EDITORS usual style, and
bore his well-known signature. It oc-

be advantageously used as a reco,nmen-

MANITOBA WHEAT
Heavy Export Business Is Being
Done Daily.
PRICES ARE MUCH F1RMER
Considerable Pressure Will Be Taken
OFF the American Markets
In Consequence.
Spacial to The Journal

Special to The Journal.
Winnipeg, Man, March 20.--The largest ex-
port business in grain ever known here has
been done within the past ten days and mil
lions of bushels have been sold to go to
Europe.
G. r. Grove, president of the Winnipeg
Grain Exchange, and the most prominent
grain man in Manitoba, said to-day: .'Ths
business done for ten days past in Mani
toba wheat for export has been the largest
IN my experience. Sales have been made at
steadily rising premium and to-day orders
were received for 500, coo bu Manitoba No 1
hard wheat. at relatively the highest price
paid this season. This means much for Mani
toba as the accumulated wheat will be cleaned
up to a great extent, and this at fair prices
American grain men are greatly interested
in this Manitoba wheat matter and several
from Minneapolis have been up here lately
looking the ground over. The selling Of large
quantities Of Manitoba wheat should relieve
the pressure on American markets to some
extent, as this wheat has been competing with
American wheat in foreign markets for
months, and has been pressing for sale at &c
to &c under American wheat OF late the
difference has narrowed until Manitoba wheat
is to-day only about 1c under American wheat

SCARCITY OF METAL
This Is Felt Keenly by Consumers
of Foundry Iron.
MILLS HAVE A BREATHING SPELL
Purchases of Foreign Material Are
Confined 10 Small Lots
ONLY.

New York, March 2O.-The Iron Age
says:
Stray consumers Of foundry iron are feeling
the scarcity of metal quite keenly ard are
forced to pay several dollars per ton premium
for what they must have Immediately. But
OF the whole tonnage which goes into the
cupola, the converter and the open hearth
furnace, this is an almost ininitesimal per-
centage, the great mass Of iron which is be-
ing melted being delivered on old contracts
at fair rates. The same is true Of STEEL In
times like these, perspective is distorted and
much is made of comparatively trivial cir
cumstances. 1t would, of course, be rash to
deny their significance, which is that our
home consumption is enormous and that is
slightly outbalances production. The balance
would quickly swing in the other direction,
however, II consumers got it into their heads
that prices are abnornlally high. While they
are remunerative, they are not unreasonable
nor is it likely that the shortage now SO
keenly felt will last more than sixty or ninety
days
The markets for foundry iron have been
fairly quiet during the week, the only move
ment Of consequence having taken place in
Chicago, where malleable-iron founders have
purchased about $1,000 tons Of pig iron for
delivery during the second halt On the other
hand, it has come to the surface that one
large melting interest, while professedly eager
Aol ulOfe lTOu, LAS already purchased CODSld-
erably more than is necessary to cover con-
tracts for goods Sold In some instances re-
quests to delay deliveries have been received,
but in every case this has been the result Of
the discovery vs the part of the foundrymen
that the furnace company will not grant I'M
reasonable time for payment, but that thirty
days from date of shipment means that and
nothing else.
So far as foreign material is concerned
purchases OF only small lots of Scotch pig
iron, steel billets, wire rods, shapes and
sheets are reported. The markets abroad have
run away, and the foreign steel works profess
to be unable to deliver promptly. Except pos
sibly in structural material where large con-
tracts have been again placed, the new ton
mage coming into the market is only fair in
volume. We are going through q breathing
spell, very welcome to the mills in their con
gested condition. Prices are Strengthening
In nearly all branches and for small lots
and prompt delivery considerable premiums
are being paid. Merchant pipe quotations
have been raised during the week.
