MUST USE THE BEST TIN
Architect said TO He Discriminating
Against American Article In
Call for Bids.

BOSTON. Jan, 9.-The National Associa-
ton OF Builders, through it's officers here,
has entered a protest to the Treasury de-
partment in Washington In relation to
what 1t claims is discrimination against
American-made tin.
They say that the supervising architect
of the Treasury department has invited bids
for the erection of the building Of the
Bureau OF Standards in Washington. and in
placing orders for tin roofing makes a
requirement which compels the use Of for
eign tin, inasmuch as the charcoal iron
plates called for are not used by American
manufacturers of tin.
WASHINGTON. Jan. .s.-Mr. Taylor, the
supervising architect o. the treasury, has
recently received a number OF protests
from building contractors against his ac-
tion in STIMULATING for the use Of charcoal
tin for the roof OF the new Bureau OF
Standards building to be erected N this
city. aa
Mr.. Taylor says that during the last six
months he has stipulated that charcoal tin
should be used In roof construction Of gov
eminent buildings, for the reason Il was
the best tin o~btainAble. and hat he shall
continue to do so.
He is not certain whether tin of this
character is made In this country or not
but Is inclined to think that IL is not
Nevertheless, he believes 1t is for the best
interests OF the government that it b
used.

WI CRITlClSES EXCLUSION
Considers Anti-Chinese Laws Are
Carried out as Never Contem-
plated by Congress.

VICTORIA b. O., Jan. e.-Copies Of in
terviews given to a Chinese paper by WI
Ting ex-minister from China to the
United States, were received here today.
The minister Is quoted as saying that
the exclusion laws Rsatnst Chinese are car
ried out In a way never Intended by the
American Legislature. The higher officials
do not mean, that they shall be 80 carried
out. but the execution OF the-sxclusion law
is left in the hands OF customs ~ofhciais,
who enforce the law in a way which is
injurious to both America and China. HI
said the application OF the law to Hawaii
and the Philippines is ridiculous, as the
circumstances there are entirely different
to those prevailing In the United States.

ARRESTED FOR OLD CRIME
Men Accused of Train Robbery Are
Captured ON same Train

LA CROSSE, wis, Jan. Passenger and

vile, four men. who are believed to be
four Of the six who robbed the Burlington
train at that place, we're left at Savannah,
ILL.,, by the train last night, and were taken
to Mount Carroll, the county seat, where
they were. arraigned on the charge OF hold
ing up the. train.
The story of the findings of clews and
their subsequent capture is interesting.
Detective Charles White, after a three
months search. located the man from
whom the. robbers bought the boat which
was found sunken with sand in the river,
near where they bad temporarily buried
their booty. = .,.->t- r
The boat vas purchased at La Crosse and
the robbers,s so the detective found. went
dOwna'the river in the skin, taking four
days to make the trip. and. we're Joined
at Dubuque by two, which made the party
six in number. 49, s- a. .a- w. -
One OF. these robbers wore a pair Of shoes
just purchased In Dubuque, and he was the
one who surrendered ana served 10 Identify
the gang, and which led subsequently, to
their arrest in, Louisiana a few days ago on
another charge.
II develops from the story Of one of the
robbers that the dead -rshber had been
killed by their own party. 1t appears that
they had a secret code of signals which they
were to use. me-. 49, ..I.-
The dead fobber, in coming around the
train, did pot give the signal, and was
shot by one Of the robbers. He was not
killed, however, for after the safe had
been blown open, and the robbers unhitehed
the engine. they put the ounde man
on board. -" ;ta
One of the party is said to have said:
Can you talk yet He replied. Yes
whereupon one Of the party shot him
through the head, killing him instantly.
They then had a discussion as to whether
to burn the body in the fire box, but deci-
ded to throw it out Of the engine cab, which
they did.
They then abandoned the engine and got
into the skin, went across the river, buried
the money and sun the boat. Several half
dollars which fell from the pile of $4,000
they secured were found in the box in the
sand. 49,.

ADVANCE PRICE OF WHISKY
Louisville Distiners Decide on Two
l. and Ons-HNIf Cents Increase
-'sr - on Old Spirits. .,

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 9.-All WHISTLES
of 1899, 1900, 1901 AMI 1902. were advanced
2h cents a gallon today by the local dis
%tillers. Whistles Of the '99 output which
have been on the market for six months
without a bid being made for them we're
snapped up in lots OF five to fifty barrels.
The scramble for '99 goods was one Of the
~livliest ever seen in this city. Several dis
t~illeries which had sold their product
bought it back at higher prices, in the hope
OF a further advance.
The passage of the outage bill is largely
responsible for the activity of the market.
For the last month whisky has been in a
state Of uncertainty. Rectihers n whole
sale houses have bought no more goods
thar they actually needed for immediate
use. Thu advance caused general surprise,
as It was not expected to come so soon
and distillers believed prices would remain
stationary for several days. II the. demand
continues, a further advance is probable
