Protection Makes Possible.

0The Mckinley tariff of 90 cents
pound was imposed July 1, 1891, and
since that time the tin plate production
In this country has grown rapidly and
importation has decreased in Ike
measure. Here are the figures: In
1891 the imports of tin plate into the
United States aggregated 327.S82 tons;
In 1903 they were 1890, and much of
this was for manufacture of articles for
export instead Of for home consump-:
ton. In 1891 the total production OF
tin plate In the United States was 552
tons; In 1902 It was 100000 tons. All
OF this increase was made possible by
the operation Of protective tariffs. In
1891 the average price of full weight
coke tin plate was $3.50; in 1901 It was
$3.S2.-Camden Telegram.

IN TEN YEARS
Indications Point to the Completion of
the Canal in That Time.

Washington, Feb. Sin view of the
lack of public information as to the
status of the work of canal digging on
the iSthmuS ana as to the exact amount
of work executed so far by the Ameri-
cans since they took up the task, the
American minister to Panama has, af-
ter consultation with Chief Engineer
Wallace and close personal inspection
of the route of the proposed canal, sub
mitt"d to the state department a re-
port on this subject.
The communication is practically a
brief summary of the vast amount OF
detail statistics and facts that will
eventually be produced by the canal
commission. showing the actual con-
struction on the canal accomplished
since July 1 last, when Mr.. Wallace
took charge of the engineering depart
ment
If the next six months show a pro-
gress corresponding to that of the past
SIX, it is the conviction of the best en-
gineers on the isthmus that sea level
can be constructed in | years and be
ready for large vessels by Jan. ]. 1915.
The report declares that there is no
ground for the current reports that lit
tie has been accomplished in advancing
the construction of the canal during the
past SIX or eight months.

PRESIDENT OF OBERLIN BANK
Dies and Government Will Take Up
Case Against Cassie Chadwick.

Ohcrlin, Ohio, Feb. &c. r BeckWith
president of the defunct Citizens Ma
tinnal Bank of this city, died at 1914
o'clock. tonight, after two days of un-
consciousness. during which dissoIu-
ton was expected at any moment. On
ly the family surrounded the death bed
of the banker.
Mr.. BeckWith was about S. years of
ago. On Dec. IA last, the Federal grand
jury in Cleveland returned five indict-
monts against Beckwith upon the
charge OF violating the National Bank
ing laws in connection with the loans
made to Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick by
the Citizens Nation;t Bank Of Ober-
lin. of which deceased was president.
From the day of his arrest BeckWith's
health failed rapidly as a result of Wor-
~ of his troubles. He frequently de-
cu&red during his illness that he want
ed to die. For several days prior To
his death he refused to take food in
any form. Death resulted directly from
heart trouble.
The death Of President Bcckwith may
materially weaken the cases of forgery
and conspiracy to misapply bank funds
now charged against Mrs. Chadwick.
1t was expected that BeckWith would
he the star witness in both the federal
and common pleas courts.
There is no WWay to perpetuate
Beckwith's testimony. The conStitu-
ton of the L. s. says an accused per-
son must be confronted in court by the
accusers. A deposition or affidavit
cannot be used.
An effort was made to convey the in
formation of the death of the banker
to Mrs. Chadwick, late tonight, but the
Jail authorities refused to permit it..
saving that she would learn the news
soon enough in the morning papers.
she had been told on Saturday. how
ever. that the banker was very i'll and
she expressed regret for the fact.

ordered the dismissal of the whole staff

The admiralty and the war office have
requested Governor General Trepoff to
allow the workmen to be re-employcd.
and it is hoped the factory will re-
open on Monday. The men claim they
tore down the posters because the de-

did not include their repre- sentatives.
A certain amount of agitation con-
tinues here. Printers in several estab-
lishments have struck again because
the employers refused to pay them for

THE NORTH SEA INQUIRY
Russians Highly EIated Over the Pres
ent Standing of Testimony.

Paris Feb THE close of the teStlrno-
nv before the international COMMISSION
inquiring into the North sea incident mas
been followed by rather n2tlGtaie o;' miii,.
connected with the case ana Gorfespoiiu-
ing citation on the part OF the russians SrIti s.
The French press. when Is strollsls pre-,
Russian gives marked prominence 10
statements that the Russians nave Nlrtu-
ally won their case, the usually conserEa-
tive Temps and Journal asserting posi-
tively that the majority of the court now
tavors the Russian theory that torpedo
boats attacked Vice Admiral Rojestven-
Sky'S squadron.
However, inquiry in well-informed quar-
ters does not show any real basis tor
these reports On the contrary. intlma-
lions are made that the tendency within
the court is rather in the opposite dlrec-
ton .
The reports favorable to the Russian
view appear to result mainly from the
positiveneSS of the testimony OF capt
Clado and other Russian officers that they
say torpedo boats attacked the squadron.
whereas the strongest British witness did
not swear that no torpedo boats We're
there, but merely that they did not see
The impression seemed to prevail among
the audience in the court room that the
commissioners were likely to accept the
directneSs of the Russian witnesses rath
| er than the qualified negative given by
| the British fishermen.
| However, those intimately familiar with
the commissioners say this impression is
not warranted, as the commissioners, be-
| ing skilled naval technicians, are diSpos-
| ed to differ from Capt. Clado on num-
| Der of the most important technical
points.
These pertain chiefly to his ability TO ses
| a torpedo boat at night two miles away
and his statements concerning the effects
of SearchlightS.
1t is known that some of the commits
sioners consider Capt. Clado's statements
to he at variance with the accepted prin-
ciples of naval science.
How far this will influence their ulti-
mate verdict is not yet clear. but it ap-
pears to show that the commissioners
don't share the prevailing impression that
Capt. Clado's testimony was decisive.
