MATIC TUBE
 SERVICE LIMITED

Washington, December 15.-It is not feasible at the present time for the gov ernment to purchase to install, or to operate pneumatic tubes. This is one of the most important conclusions reached by a commission appointed by the Post master General to inquire into the feasi- bility and desirability of the government purchasing and operating pneumatic tubes in the cities where the service is now installed, which was today transmitted to Congress by Postmaster General Meyer the conclusions of which he approves. The commission, however, recommends the desirability of further Investigating the subject of governmental ownership of the pneumatic tube service in five or six years. The pneumatic service is in operation at present in New York, Phila- delphla. Boston, Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati The conclusions of the com mission are as follows:
 That pneumatic tube service Is an important auxiliary for rapid transmits sion of first-class mail in the larger cities and performs a function not at present obtainable by other means. lHdt IL ls dNdhoDio AoA special delivery mail, first-class mail of local origin for local delivery, supple mentary closlngs of first-class mail for dispatch by train and for advance dis patches of f1rst-class mail from trains for city delivery
 'afhat registered mail should be sent by tube whenever security and celerity can be combined.
 That pneumatic tube service appears to be still in an experimental condition, although progress has been made toward the establishment of a fixed standard of machinery.
 That with the above reservation the regularity and efficiency of the tube service is commendable.
 That the companies should be required to complete their contracts without un- due delay in order that the effect of full and complete systems may be ascer- tained.
 "That the present contracts will not expire for nearly eight years and that the period should furnish opportunity for perfecting the systems and for observing the effects upon the postal service; that during that period other methoos of trans portation may be developed which may affect the question, and that it is desira- ble to renew the consideration of the question of governmental ownership in five or six years"

TARIFF COMMITTEE
 CATCHES A TARTAR
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.)

Mir Schwao about a letter which had been referrel to by a previous witness.
 This letter was written by MT. Schwab to Henry Prick, May 16, 1S99 and stated that rails were being made for less than S12 ton, or nearly $7 less than the cost in England. In the letter MT Schwab predicted that the Carnegie Steel com pany, of which he was then president, " ould be able to increase it's net earn ings to $3,60o,0OO a month, and said 1t could sell all of its surplus production abroad at a profit nearly equal to the profit on domestic sales. MT. Schwab upon being questioned said that the Beth lehem Steel company, of which he is pres ident is not affiliated with the United States Steel corporation, but he said he was a stockiolder in the latter corpora tion. The steel magnate said that the letter in regard to which he had been questioned had been prepared at MT. Tricks soliciat ton, and was written in an optimistic vein.
 Mr. Sehwab gave a detailed statement of the cost of making pig iron and steel rails, which indicated the present cost of manufacturing pig iron is $14 ton, as compared with $S a ton in 1899, while the cost of steel rails today Is $A ton, as compared with SIP a ton nine years ago.
 Reduction of Tariff.
 Upon resuming the stand at the aft ernoon session MT. Schwab replied to many questions bearing on the advisa- bility of reducing the iron and steel tariff.
 MT Schwab stated that in Germany the cost of producing pig iron is from $9. 50 to SIP a ton, while the cost of conversion Into steel is about the same as in this country. The cost of manufacture in England is a little less than in Ger many.
 "If the tariff on steel should be con- siderably reduced would the steel bus mess be seriously affected?" asked MT. Hill of Connecticut steel rails as cheap as they can be made anywhere" replied MT. Schwab '"The cost of manufacturing steel depends on two conditions: the cost of material in the ground, and the cost of labor. If these conditions are the same as else where we don't need the tariff, but if the cost of the transportation or labor or something else is greater here we need tariff for protection"
 Mir. Schwab claimed that he was not aware of any understanding between the United States Steel corporation and the German Steel syndicate and the English Rail syndicate. He said that there was not as much competition between the domestic steel manufacturers in the home market as in the foreign market

It is, there- fore, a high national duty to bring to justice this villiier of the American peo- pie, this man who wantonly and wickedly and without one shadow of justification seeks to blacken the character of repu- table private citizens and to convict the government of his own country in the eyes of the civilized world ofewrong- doing of the basest and foulestS kind, when he has not one shadow of Justification of any sort or description for the charge he has made.

Schwab Is Frank.


 Schwab Is Frank.
 Mrs schwab answered all questions asked him with gratifying frankness. lie said that the price of steel ra1ls was axea bv most of the American manu- lecturers at BPS in 1895 or 1S96; that III 1898 during the "steel war" this price was not maintained, but that folloW- ing the "waT' 1t was again agreed to maintain the price at BPS. Since then no manufacturer has attempted to lower thls price for fear of precipitating another conflict.
 Referring again to foreign countries MT. Schwab said
 "The labor conditions in England are the worst of any manufacturing country in the world' He said that the Ger man government does more than any other for it's manufacturers, and that the steelmakers in that country are further advanced in the methods of manufacture than those in other countries.
 'Is the tariff balanced between pig iron and rails?" asked Representative Hill.
 "The differential between rails and rolled steel products Is fair" stated MT. Schwab replying.
 MT Schwab declared that the average manufacturer is entitled to a profit of 15 to 20 per cent and that the most suc-
  per cent net profit He said that the prices on billets and steel bars vary ac- cording to the cost of production. MT Schwab stated that the railroads are not in favor of a reduction in the price of steel rails He said the small con- srmers as well as the large ones are in favor of maintaining a uniform price on structural steel
 Per Cent of Product.
 He testified that the United States Steel corporation manufactures from 40 to 40 per cent of the steel produced in this country.
 Does that include the production of the Tennessee company, the purchase Of which was consented to by the Presi- dent?' asked MT. Clark, of Missouri.
 No. 1t does not; although don't know anything about the President consenting to the purchase" replied MT. Schwab.
 Giving many valuable arguments in fav- or of reduction in the tariff, Frank W.. Taussig, professor of political economy at Harvard university, argued that certain raw materials should be admitted free; naming coal, iron ore, lumber, hemp, flax, corn, barley, oats and wool. He said it would be a wise move to reduce the duty on woolen clothing and sugar. Referring to MT. Schwab's testimony, he said he thought the same watchful- ness should attach to MT. Schwab's tes- timony today as to the letter he wrote to MT. Prick in 1899. He was little biased then, and I think he is little ased on the other"
 Professor Taussig declared that it is a question whether, in the end a protec- tive tariff works a benefit to the country at large.
 Robert Gilchrist, representing St. Louis and New York interests, urged that the present duty on ferro-manganese, used in the manufacture of steel should be retained He said that this article can not be produced sufficiently in this coun- try to supply the domestic needs.

NEW RECORD MADE.
Cardinals and Dodgers Play Game
 With One Ball.

Something that seldom occurs once a season happened at Washington park the other day, In the game with the St. Louis team. Only one ball was in play during the entire game. The sphere started to get pounded all around the lot beginning at o'clock, and held out for nine rounds The Cardinals and the Dodgers slapped the horsehlde all over the place, but 1t always came back for more Gen erally a dozen balls go outside the park in a game. but not the pill that was put In play by Umpire Klem, It was fouled around in the usual way, but always came back in time. The sphere was whacked to the clubhouse gate by Maloney for home run, ana after the umpire looked 1t over to sec If 1t was damaged the ball went right back to the pitcher again. Tim Jor- dan also smacked it good and hard when he foulcd few up against the right field bleachers. but the good ball that it was still insisted on re- maining inside the lot. and was look ing for more when the game ended
 It would be great thing for base ball clubs if only one ball was used each day of the season. Of course this would put number of park em- ployes out of work. The boy who blows the whistle when the ball Is going over the fence would lose out, and the small and big boys who get In when they bring the foul balls back In the park would raise a big howl Umpire Klem said 1t was the first time ne had ever been In a game where only one ball was in play.
 Tt looked as If would have to take the ball out In the eighth in- ming" said Klem, "but I saw the pill was game and always coming back looking for more. In order that the ball might get a record came to the conclusion that it would be wise thing to let the pellet stay In the game until 1t went down and out I, will hardly happen again for years and l would like to find the one who has the ball just to keep it as sou venir. Wilhelm has the ball tucked away in his trunk by this time, I sup. pose, to give 1t a needed rest"

GREAT CONTEST DUE.
Strong MaIley and Howe & stetson
 Mines Preparing for Third Gamo.

Department store amateur baseball has taken sudden upward jump this season. It has never been better rep- resented since ths days of tho old league. when the four big houses in the city, ths Edw. Malley Co.,, Gamble & Desmond, Howe & stetson and Mendel & Freedman put fast ball teams on the field. Representative from both Howe & Stetson and the Edw. Malley Go. endeavored to perfect arrange ments for a dry goods baseball league the present season. but 1t could not he accomplished. Failing this, Howe X Stetson and the Edw. Maley Co got together and arranged to play series of championship games. The first of these was played at West Rock park grounds and resulted in a hardly won victory for the Malley people, to l the second game of the series was won by the Howe & Stetson team by score of 4 to at Lighthouse Point, the third game of the series will be played on Friday afternoon, August 14th at Lighthouse Point. Both teams have been doing excellent work during the season. and considered from an anna teur bs, 4hall standpoint are decidedly above the average. Pitcher Cullen for Howe & stetson's has succeeded in pin ming down some of the fastest teams around the city and Pitcher McCormao for Malley's has registered an equal number of strike-outs. Tho Malley team beat Brown-T Thomson to on their own grounds at Hartford on Tn- dependence day, later at steeplechase Park they played tie game and Brown Thomson only won out by one run in the ten innings, to 4 Howe X Stetson were defeated by the strong Clinton team only on score of to O. The deciding game of the series which will he played at Lighthouse Point will attract a big following from both houses and should be the star cham pionship event In dry goods baseball of the season Both teams are busy perfecting tho lineup for the cham plonship game
