S3Ea 'C TRIALHIF THETARIFF. Malilon Chance's Views of the Ef , feet of the McKinley Bill on vGovermneiit Eeienues, HE HAS m FEABS OF A SHORTAGE. A.-PMladelpuian Talks of Shady Business X'3Ietiiods That Have So Damaged His City Late. THE EXCITEMENT OP TARPON FISHttG. Chats With rjttstagtrs and Visitors on Intercstuiff Selects. Mahlon Chance, the representative of the American Tariff League, is at the Slononga hela llouse He is getting ready for the b'a'ttle in 1892, and came to see what effect the McKinley bill is having on the local in dustries. 5K Chance says the League is non-partisan and some Democrats belong to it, but so far it has been allied -with the Uc publican party, as it favors protection to American manufactories and workmen. Concerning politics, Mr. Chance said he thought the President's trip had helped the party more than himself. At present he thinks Harrison is the strongest man, but there is no telling what will happen before the convention meets. The question of a deficit in the Treasury in July as a result of the McKinley tariff is beginning to worry some people. It is claimed that so many articles have been put on the free list, and on others the duty lias been advanced, that there is danger of thercvenucs falling below the needs of the Government. "When asked for his opinion on this subject, Mr. Chance said: Has Xo Fears of a Shortage. "When the Mills bill was before the coun try President Cleveland sent a message to Congress warning the country of the big surplus in the Treasury, and he recom mended a tariff that would cut it down. He claimed that with a low treasury the ten dency to extravagant expenditure would be re3uced and the Government would be more economically administered. .Mr. McKinley has carried out this idea, and now the Dem ocrats are howling about a deficit. Yerily, some people are hard to please. I don't think there is the least danger about the country running short, and at the end of two years when the tariff shall have been adjusted, there will be plenty of money in the Treasury. The tariff has not cut off im portations and won't. The foreign manu facturers always have a surplus. They have their home market, and their aim is to get rid of the overproduction in America. It is better for them to Ehip these goods to the United States at a low profit, or none at all, than to keep them at home and thus depress the local riarkct. The Custom House reports at Ke w fork show no decrease in imports. At present goods from abroad are piling up in. the countrv, and the effect of the McKinley bill lias been to lower prices in general ranker than advance them as predicted. The country is being flooded with tin plate, but this will fall on when the American manu facturers get to work, and after the duty 'goes into effect in July. The Necessities of I.lfe Cheapened. "In Xew York I am told that the prices of kid cloves and articles of that kind have gone up, but there are people ho will w ear nothing else but imported good, be cause'fashion has set the style. It only shows that the tariff has advanced the lux uries which the rich will have anyhow. The real necessities of life, if anything, are cheaper, and are going down. Carpets, cot ton and woolen goods, iron and steel are as cheap to-day as before the tariff. The duty has, however, benefited the farmer, the man who has been complaining the most. "Few people realize how the tarill has re duced prices from time to time Bolting cloth is something that is not made in America. The price of this article has re mained the same, but take any class of trade where American competition has been built up through the tariff, and the prices have rone downward steadily. Free trade would knock even thing helter-skelter until the foreicn manuiacturers had driven the home producers into bankruptcy, and then rates would go up witit a jumpJ At one time we were at the mercy of these people, and thev .never failed to exact the highest prices, and we had to pay thein or go without the goods. This was true of the tin plate business when the dutv was knocked below a competing point, and it will apply to other industries in the memory of people wjio will stop a moment to think. 1 think we will be able to make ns good tin plate in America as thev do in Europe. It will take some time before we can turn out as fine tin for cans, etc., but the tin plate required for roofing purposes, paile. and articles of this kind can be made here as cheap as abroad, and it will give ad ditional work to our idle men. Ono reaturo Hitherto Overlooked. "Here is a feature that has not been noticed. In 1881 a tariff was put on cut nails. Before that time we paid a high price lor tnem uoroau. under tne pro tective duty Americans went into business all oi cr the countrv. The market was soon glutted, and the price dropped to a nominal sum. It was soon apparent we had too many nail mills for the demand, and some of tlfem shut down. Xow it in lound these mills can be utilized in making pig bar for tin plate, and as soon ns the business is started thej will be able to resume work. This point demonstrates that a tariff cheapens prices, and develops new industries in the country. "As for the revenue question under re ciprocity the Goernnient has the privi lege of putting on the duty on sugar im ported irom a country with whom a treatv has not been made. This law mav be ap plied to sugar from Cuba, if it is necessary. The dinner of the League in Brooklyn a short time ago only pnncs what Americans can do. Outside of the coffee, which came in under reciprocity, everything was made and grov n in America. The best people in "cw York were present and they told me they nc cr sat down ton more elegant ban tine":. I remember one gentleman trijd to buy a bottle of imported champagne, but the caterer" told him he couldn't hae it for f 1,000. The tariff was made a big bugaboo last fall, but its wisdom will be demon strated after awhile" TAEPON FISHING IN FLOHEDA. H. Ik II. Dabus Thinks It Glorious Sport, and Exhibits a Specimen. B. L. IL Dabbs, the photographer, has on exhibition in a downtown Show window in immense fish which he captured after numerous days of fishing in a Florida river. "It is the most exciting sport one could vish," says Mr. Dabbs. "When you get one of those tarpons on your hook you are compelled to work several hours before you hac him bagged, and your line is liable to snap at any moment. Comparativelv few oTthc fish are captured, on account of their great stniirgk-s .itter being hooked. When a mail sum-eds m making a catch his name is registered, and lie becomes somewhat of s Ipro. In one case while on mv excursion I worked with a fish an hour, and then broke my rod. After that I worked an hour with a broken rod, and at last the line was snapped and the fish got away. "After a fish swallows the bait the first thing it does is to leap 10 or 15 feet into the air, and many a timo.it throws-the bait aiidtwhookrcleax"cut-of itsi (stomach. Sometimes they -will make a-nuinberof such jumps. I hooked one that leaped 15 feet into the air five times inxapid succession. Since this was my first trial at tarpon fish ing I consider myself very lnckyat having landed a fish. Tarpon fishing'" has only been in vogue for a few years, and is rapidly growing in popularity. I believe that be fore many years it -will be one of the" most popular of sports." YANKEES HOT PROTECTED. South Americans Dave a "Wholesome "Tear of English ITaf Ships. W. J. Robinson, who represents a Cin cinnati chemical company, is registered at the Anderson. Mr. Rpbinso'n travels ex tensively through South America and has just returned from Venezuela. Hie did not go to Chile, hut he finds that the South Americans generally sympathize with the insurgents. A gentleman in, Caracas told him that Balmaceda was attempting to curtail the personal liberties of the peo ple. He torbaae tnem to De on the streets after 7 o'clqck in the evening and they were , driven by the police into their musty houses. He imposed a tax on all families for the sup port of his own. To cap. the climax he in sisted on military service -from everybody, and frequently large business .houses had to close down because the proprietors and clerks were forced to join the army. ''Bal maceda was anxious to establish an absolute monarchy with himself as the chief figure. He has failed so far, and 'the rebellion of the people stopped him. He maintains his grip on the army through his generals, whom he appointed from the ranks. Theyare superior men, and Eeem to hold the soldiers as Napoleon did, by sheer force of wilk South Americans think the war should be stopped and that Balmaceda be deposed from the Presidency. "The rights of the Americans are not re spected in South America," continued Mr. Robinson. "I remember, about 8 o'clock one evening, I was walking on the streets of Livingstone in Guatemala when u big policeman stopped me. He wanted to go throush my clothes at once, hut I wouldn't allow that and was taken to the guardhouse The Heffe Palitico, a pompous man, quea tionod me. " 'Arc vou an American?' he asked. " To,''l replied, 'English. '"Ah, senor, he answered quickly, 'sorry to have disturbed you. Hope we have" not put you to any inconvenience,'' and then heeave general orders thrft I was not to be molested at any time. If I had' said I was an American, 1 would have been flogged. The English protect their subjects abroad, but the hapless Yankee must take his chances. Why, an American was whipped in Guatemala' during Cleveland's term. He demanded an indem nity, but it was never paid. An English man named Magee was flogged at San Jose. John Bull sent- two warships to the port, and the commander plainly -told the Gov ernment that if ?oO,000 was not paid in a certain time to indemnify Mageej- and de fray the expenses of the trip, that he would blow up the town. The money was forth coming at once. "Travelinc throuch this countrv is not very pleasant as it is done on mules. The saddles are made of boxwood, and are not very satisfactory. The next time I make the trip I will take an American saddle with me." LAKE STUBGEON HEN INVESTIGATE, They Object to Being Accused of Selling 1'olsoncd or Damaged ITlsh. C. J. Ivielscn and "William Schoenemann, members of two "firm's of smoked sturgeon dealers of Sandusky, came to the city yes; tcrday to investigate the poisoning cases and sec that their firms get a fair show in the business. They visited The DrsrATCir office last evening, and Mr. Nielson, who acted as spokesman, said: "We are sending very little smoked sturgeon to Pittsburg, as a local man has been monopolizing the trade bvsellinc 4 cents cheaper than we can. He buys stur geon from Baltimore, which is cheaper than lake sturgeon. 2fon& of our fish is found where people have been poisoned. "W. B. Knolle, who told the local dealer I refer to that he sold lake sturgeon, told us to-day that it was only a joke. "We don't like that sort of a joke, though."" " EIVEHMEN TALK ITEEBOAT. They Indorse the Ideas of Chief Brown on This Question. The Pittsburg rivermennow comeforward to indorse Chief Brown's idea of a fireboat. "I think I voice the sentiment of the men on the river when I indorse Chief Brown's ideas," said Captain Sneathen. "Such a boat would be more powerful in saving valuable property belonging to mill men, glass house companies and individual property holders, than more expensive engines. Several disastrous fires on the river would have been stopped had we had the boais." Peter Sullivan, well-known as an engi neer largely interested on the river, corro borates the above, and adds that it would be an easy matter to supply water to the engines in time of a drouth by runningpipes at stated intervals into the uptown mains, and to use the pumps on the fireboat to keep up the supply. BEECH CHEEK EXTENSION. Talk of Continuing the Clearfield Road Into Camhria County. James Kerr, of Clearfield, is authority for the statement that the Beech Creek road is to be extended from Gazzam to Patton in Cambria county this summer. Two routes are under advisement, xine of' which is via McPherson in Upper Chest township, the other by way of Bellas Landing and up the Susquehanna river. She extension - would open up a good section of undeveloped coal field and indirectly would benefit this citv. Some of the farmers are kicking on the right of way and demanding high prices for their land. The cheapest route will be se lected, and Mr. Kerr thinks 'the grangers would be wise to give the right of way for nothing. KEPT OFF OF THE TEACKS. TThy Liberty Avenue Merchants Have It In for a Hallway. Some merchants on Liberty avenue want to know whether the Transverse Passenger Railway Company cannot be made to remove Jts tracks from that thoroughfare. They say cars are only run on it semi-occasionally, presumably merely for the purpose of hold ing charter rights, and lately their ire has been aroused by some officer tellingihem thev must not trespass on the tracks while loading and unloading wagons. , A gentleman connected with "Wilson Harper's establishment states that thev were threatened with prosecution i they allowed their rigsto project over the track, though thereiwere no cars passing at the time, A CHAT ABOUT BATHING.

M. of this city and "Western Pennsylvania are actively engaged making preparations for the trip on June 15 to Cleveland, where the annual session of the National Council-will be held. The general committee having the arrange ments for the excursion in charge met last night. The business transacted was of little importance. The time was chiefly taken up hearing reports from the various sections, which indicated that from 4,000 to 5,000men will go from Pittsburg! and Allegheny, and other reports show that there is'likely to be from 10,000 to 12,000 members in line on the day of the parade in Cleveland. Pride of the "West Council in Allegheny will pay the railroad fare of their members who attend, and will take oven 300 in their delegation. Manchester Council will send over 200 members. Vine Cliff Council has chartered five Pullman cars, and will have their own band. Lescallette and other councils 'of the Southside, will take over 300 members, and he accompanied by a full brass band. Thacommanderies uniformed rank have chartered a Pullman train of 12 cars, and will be accompanied by their own "band, who will wear their new uniforms for ,the first time. Special Trains From Everywhere. 'Star of the Valley Council at Mononga hela City has chartered a special train, hav ing secured a rate of 53 50 for the round trip. The Erie councils have chartered" 18 cars, and will be accompanied by music,' and over 800 members will be in this party. Chicago will be represented by the comman dery and 600 members and accompanicd'by the celebrated Second Regiment Band; they will travel in a special train,which will be at their disposal during the entire trip. Mas sachusetts will send 180 juniors in special cars. Ualilornia, Washington, Texas antt Iowa will be represented for the first time in the coming session of the National Coun cil. A rate of 53 for the round trip has been secured from this city, and arrangements will be made to have special trains leave over the Cleveland and Pittsburg road all day on Monday, June 15 and Tuesday morn ing June 16, getting the excursionists into Cleveland in time for the parade, which will take place at 2 o'clock. All of the hotels in Cleveland have made special rates foV the occasion. Headquarters of the National Council will be at the Hallenden, which has accommodations for nearly 2,000 per sons. Advices were received yesterday to the effect that the resident committee in Cleve land has nearly $15,000 raised for the en tertainment of the'National -Council. This entertainment will include excursions to Put-in-Bay on one of the Cleveland and Detroit Navigation Company's steamers, concerts at Music Hall, pleasure trips to all points of interest in the Forest City, in cluding a view of President Garfield's tomb and monument in Lake View Ceme tery. A bureau of information will be established at the Forest City Hotel, where strangers can obtain all information con cerning me points oi interest 10 ue visueu. Most Important of All Sessions. Regarding the session of the National Council, it will be the most important ever held. There are manv nuestibns to be con sidered that affect the futufegrowth and prosperity of the order. The programme has not yet been issued, but among other things that is likely, to be recommended from the membership in this section is a consideration of the proposition to strike the word white from the constitution, or to make some provision for the admission of colored citizens. This matter was discussed at the last meeting of the Advisory Council of "Western Pennsylvania. The sentiment expressed there was that the National Council should foster an order similar to the Junior order, for the enlistment of colored people jn the same cause espoused by the Mechanics, this order to be composed in membership entirely of colored persons, and to have no connection whatever with the 7rv O. IT. A. M., except as to the similarity of the objects. A straw vote was taken, which resulted in 21 of the delegates votingin favor of such a body as against seven being opposed to it. There is a growing sentiment in favor of admitting colored people in some way, which has been increasing ever since the last session. Steps Toward Regnlatin Immigration. Some vigorous steps will be taken with a view, to enforcing the present immigration laws more fully, and amending them where changes seem necessary. The vote ordered last ear on trie change of name will be counted, but it is already known that the proposed change to "Order of' "United Americans" was overwhelmingly defeated. It is not likely that an attempt will be made to nave anotneriote tafcen tins year. .

But the combine struck a snag when they went to two of the wholesalers, and the entire scheme went by the board. Those who were interested have -ry little to say about it Arbuckle & Co. is one of the firms alleged to have helped in breaking the scheme. "I don't know as it was our fault," said one of the gentlemen in the office of that firm. "There was a scheme to put up the price, and we refused to go into it.

Tha Case of Deputy Constable JHofflnan Postponed a Week. USTEEDAT IN THE COUNTY COURTS Deputy Constable Hoffman, of Braddock, was brought into court yesterday on an at tachment for contempt of court issued by Judge Ewing. Hoffman was included in the Injunction issued by the Court some time ago against the strikers at the Brad dock "Wire, -Works. About three weeks ago, it was charged, he disobeyed fhe injunction and took part in several disturbances. On one occasion, during some trouble be tween some workmen and the strikers, it is alleged, he arrested the workmen, who were the innocent parties, and refused to even protect them against the strikers when he had them under arrest. On a petition to court Judge Ewing issued an attachment for Hoffman at the time, but he was not ar rested until yesterday. Jndge Ewing heard a portion of the testi mony yesterday concerning Hoffman's con duct when he arrested the workmen. He then allowed him to go until next Saturday in order for Hoffman to bring in witnesses in his own behalf. In the case of Frank Stenneweg, one of the strikers who had been committed to jail in default of paying a fine of f 500 for con tempt of court in disobeying the injunction, Judge Ewing reduced the fine io ?100. Stenneweg paid the fine and was released from jail on giving a bond in the sum of $500 to insure his filture -obedience of the injunction. - GOOD DAT FOE DIV0ECES. The Long List of People Who ilavo Tired of the Old Harness. Bubpenas in divorce were granted.yester day as follows: John Kilpatrick vs Veraie Kilpatrick; Margaret Stewart vs. Dudley C. Stewart; Elizabeth J. Bichards vs James iBichards; Frederick J. Force vs Henrietta E. Force; Elizabeth M. "White vs Charles A. "White, and E. G. McPherson vs John Mc Pherson. The grounds on which divorce is asked in each case are the common ones of abuse and desertion. A decree of divorce was granted Elizabeth J. Creese from A. H. Creese, and one re fused in the case of Aaron Henry against Rachel Henry. The latter couple are He brews and were married in New York in 1879. They came to Pittsburg, where the husband, who is a peddler, set up a house. On several occasions when he returned from his trips he found the house deserted and his wife gone back to-New York. Each time he induced her to return. Only testi mony on the side of the libellant was filed by the master in the case. Judge Ewing refused the petition and put the costs on the libellant, saying the testimony was illegal and that there was evidence of collusion. A petition was filed by L. E. Love asking that a rule be made by the Court allowing her support pending the litigation in her suit against M. D. Love. SIX NEW PETITIONS For Itchcarings in the Cases of Disap pointed Llqnor License Aspirants. Attorney C F.

They were those of "William "Walter, Homestead; C. Seyerle, Sixth ward, Titts burg; J. B. Nelson, Chartiers; Patricks. MeGovem, uBraddockr 'John Lnchsinger North 'Versailles, and August F. Muller, Seventeenth ward. Pittsburir. Attorney J. K. Duff, presented the petition of Mar tin Hallcr, of the Eleventh ward, this city. A rather amusing colloquy was heard from some German petitioners in the lobby after Mr. McICenna had presented the peti tions. Judge "White in taking the papers said he would give them careful attention, as he always wanted to be on the right side with the lawyers when it was possible. Some of the interested overheard and mis understood the remark, and gained great comfort from their misapprehension. Said one: "Judge "White says he is with us and what more do we want? It's alK right." This was given in rich German accent, and all went away satisfied, reasoning: "If Judge "White.be with us, who can be against us?" ASKING FOB A CHANGE. A Motion for the Removal of the Adminis trator of Enoch Davis' Estate Mrs. Bachel Piersoul yesterday filed a petition in the Orphans' Court asking for the removal of David J.
