HITCH in THE PLANS
SCHEME TO IMPORT TIN ORE
GETS a SETBACK.
MalayanI states Impose an Export
Duty on the Metal So High as
to BE Prohibitivc.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Interpretations of
pig tin into the United States in the past
year were larger than in any preceding
year, a~ggregating $1,000, 900 pounds, valued
at more than 500, O00. 600. In 1890 the importa-
tions were 35.OO0.OOO pounds. valued at about
&,0O,0N. The rapid growth in the use Of tin
in the United States. coupled with the fact
that practically none of the article is pro-
duced in this country, suggested the impor-
tation of tin in the form of ore, and the
smelling of the ore and manufacture of the
pig tin at home. ~ plant for this purpose
has been erected in the United States, End
the shipment of ore from the Malayan re-
ninsula was about to begin when the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor received
word through the reports of the United
States consul at Straits Settlements, that
an export duty of $50 a picul Q3s pounds)
had been levied on tin ore exported; the
purpose of this tax on the ore being to pre-
vent its expectation in the natural state,
and to retain for the people of the Malayan
states the profits of smelling.
Whether this will terminate the project
of importing the ore into the United States
for smelling cannot yet be told. The Malay
an states now produce more than half of
the tin which enters into the commerce Of
the world, their total shipments in 1901 be-
ing $1,000 tons, out Of a total of 8 1900 tons
entering the markets of the world in that
year. Next in Importance in the tin prod
uct of the world after that Of the Malayan
states, is that Of the Dutch East Indies,
which marketed about $4,000 tons in 1901;
Bolivia, 10000 tons; Australia, 1900 tons,
and Wales, 1900 tons. Whether the proposed
smelters of the United States will be able
to obtain ore for their new works else
where, now that the importation from the
Malayan states is practically prohibited by
the new export duty, is not known. 1t is.
however, an interesting fact that three
fourths of the worlds tin comes from parts
of the world not far distant from the Phil
ippine islands, and his fact. coupled with
the growing demand for tin in the United
States, may lead TO careful examination as
to the possibility OF tin production in the
Philippines. j. i. NJ.

WAYS OF TRUST MAKERS
AIRED IN ARGUMENTS FOR APPOINT
MENT OF A RECEIVER.
Universal Tobacco Company's Affairs
Are Receiving a Thorough Over
hauling in New Jersey.

NEWARK. n. j., Aug. 1~5-Argument in
the application of Edwin A. McAlpin and
others for the appointment Of a receiver
for the Universal Tobacco Company was
resumed to-day before vice-Chancellor Pit
ney by Attorney General Robert III. McCar-
ter. of counsel for the defendant corpora
ton. Mr.. McCarter said that when George
P. and William H. Butler, Bourke Cochran
and III. c. Wiesinger agreed to put money
into the company. which was to be financed
by Tilford. it was with the understanding
that the voting trust should exist and that
Frank Tilford and Henry r. Wilson were
to remain with them in the attempt to fight
the American Tobacco Company. But in
stead of doing so, Mr.. McCarter said, Til
ford and Wilson got out when they got
what they wanted and did not consider
the obligation they were under to others
who had joined them in the enterprise. He
claimed that the allegation of Insolvency
made by the compliments was false. He
said that the fact that the corporation
wanted more capital was no proof of in
solvency. At the close of Mr.. McCarter's
rgumen Wheeler II. ckh followed for
the defense. He began by reading the text
of the new Massachusetts corporation law,
but was interrupted by Vice Chancellor Pit
ney. "The Massachusetts judiciary is de-
generating" announced the vice chancellor,
land L don't consider their opinion any
more. Thirty years ago 1t was different"
When Mr.. Peckham resumed by referring
to the vice chsncellor's opinion of Massa-
chusets as similar sto that of the opinion
expressed by the court q few days ago re-
garding Wall street and stock imitation, he
was again interrupted by the vice chancel-
lor. who said:
You know and I know. and everybody
ought to know that stock is inflated to un-
load it on the public. 1 consider it a fraud,
and the nPODle who huV are fools The
men who initiate the stock take advantage
of the old adage All fools are not yet dead.
1t may be an old-fashioned idea, but it is
shake it off"
Mr.. Peckham then concluded his argu-
ment.

Exercised Right of Veto.

Aug. ia semi-oficial COM
munication explains that Austria exercised
her right of veto at the recent conclave,
with the view of securing the election of
a pacific and conciliatory Pope"
The election of Plus X,' says the Com
mique, who is conciliatory, yet firm, has
been received with unanimous
satisfaction, and has given ground for the
hope that no friction or political consid-
e~rations viii arise prejudicial to the sub
lime mission of the church. 1t was to our
interest that an election should be pre-
vented which, according to recent expert.
ences, might lead 10 differences which
would upset the relations of the church
and state. 1t is unnecessary to add that
the action of the Austro-Hungarian gov
eminent was not influenced by any other
povEer"

office Department, was put through the
sweating process by the postoffice inspec-
tors to-day Barrett was formerly connect
ed with the law division of the department,

Gifted through decisions handed down by
the former assistant attorney general. Bar
rett is understood to have been responsible

the conference to-day was productive of any
results so far as the investigation of the
law division is concerned.
The grand jury here will meet next week
to consider postoffice cases and it is ex-
pected hat several indictments will be
handed down. This grist is expected to be
the last. Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Bristow has concluded his labors so
far as running down illegal transactions are
concerned, and will devote himelf from now
on to preparing his report to the President.
Postmaster General Payne was questioned

person just out of reach of the arm of the
law. The postmaster general said he did
not propose TO c~riticise the course of United

in this connection.
1T is entirely out of the hands of the
department" said Mr.. Payne. I'VE have
confidence that the Department of Justice
will cause Mr.. Beavers S arrest when he is
wanted. There is no disposition to show
Beavers any immunity whatsoever. L do not
hesitate to say that Beavers will be prose-
cuted TO the full extent"
Fourth Assistant Bristow was asked If
the postoffice inspectors were looking for
Beavers. He said: IF they were looking for
him l wouldn't tell you and IL hey were not
looking for him i wouldn't admit it."
