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.

""When I was a young man," said General
Passenger Agent Clark," of the Lake Erie,
yesterday, "I -was in the habit of taking

By Members of the Order From All Parts
of the United States.
PITTSBUEG PREPAEATIONS - COMPLETE
Members of the JrO. TT. A. 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. .

COMBINE ON SWEET STUFF.
An Attempt to Form a Xiocal fengar Trust
Broken Up.
An attempt was made a few days ago by
several Pittsburg wholesale grocers to com
bine for the purpose of putting up the price
of sugar, which is now down to about 3
and & cents for the best granulated. 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. Of
course, we don't want to be identified with

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. McICenna, yesterday pre
sented further petitions for license applica

get more cases before tho Supreme Court.
They were those of "William "Walter,

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?"

trator of Enoch Davis' Estate
Mrs. Bachel Piersoul yesterday filed a
petition in the Orphans' Court asking for
the removal of David J. Davis as adminis
trator of the estate of the late Enoch Davis.
Mrs. Piersoul stated that she was a legatee
under the will of Enoch Davis. On May
17, 1890, letters of administration were is
sued to David J. Davis. Though the time
has long past no account has been filed by
him. She asserted, further, that he is in
competent and unfit to administer the estate
by reason of his intemperate habits, and is
wasting and mismanaging it.
By reason of his continual drunkenness
he is liable to jeopardize it. The estate also
is in debt and should be speedily settled to
save paying interest. She asked that Davis
be compelled to file an account and show
cause why the letters of administration
issued to him should not be revoked.

DECLINES DIXM0NT.
John Woods Hasn't Felt Mental Decay and
Doesn't Want to Bo Judicially Declared
Insane A Legal Proceeding Held to Be
Sort of Qneer.
It is whispered that the. matter referred
to in the following excerpt from the record
in Common Pleas Court No. 1 covers a story
that will, if the case be pursued to an end
ing, be of paramount interest to many peo
ple who know the parties to the suit:
And now, May 2b, 1801, comes John Woods,
by his attorneys, Klik Q. BIgham and N. W.
Shafer, Esqs , and moves tho Court to qnash
the writ and set nsido all subsequent pro
ceedings in this matter for tho following
rem so ns
First Tho commission issued upon an ap
plication unaccompanied by affidavits of
the truth of the facts therein stated, con
trary to the requirements of tho act of As
sembly of June 13, 183C.
Second Tbat tho averments of the peti
tion are insufficient to support the proceed
ing, no fact being set out therein On which
tho Court may'act intelligently:
Third That the singlo affidavit of peti
tioner is not nn td thereauirementof the
'said statute. -Tho petition is only sworn to
ca true nnucorreci romu uesLoi petitioner's
knowledge nnd belief.
Fourth That tho writ Issued without
notice to respondent or his next of kin, nor
is or was any probable cause shown to tho
Court why the proceeding should belnstt
tnted. ,
Fifth That tho commission issued im
providently, there being no rule to show
cause with service of notice on respondent
or his next of kin. IvinK Q. Biqhav,
N. W. Siiafer,
Attorneys for respondent.
The story, as related to- a Dispatch re
porter, is that John "Woods, a well-to-do
resident of Mt. "Washington, lives with his
daughter and her husband in the winter,
and during the summer resides on and
manages a farm which he owns and on
which his son, the one referred to in the
above extract, lives, said farm being in
Bethel township.
Now it is said that John "Woods has been
a kind parent and has already given the son
another farm, tho donation being made
years ago. It is also stated that the rest of
the relatives of the old gentleman have
never seen anything 'wrong with his. in
tellect, and they think he ought to be
allowed to spend the remainder of his life
in the ease and comfort which his well
earned possessions guarantee.
The case is numbered 167, June term, and
will doubtless be fullr ventilated.

Boys' Ideal,
e y - - r ,-
If your boy isn't old enough
to have well-defined tastes of
his own, he soon will be, and
it will depend on you to a
great extent whether his
tastes are good, bad or in
different. It is just as im
portant to you and to the
boy that his taste be properly
educated as it is that he is
given lessons in grammar.
There isn't much difference
between the cost of dressing
him well and the expense of
attiring him in clothes that
no boy can take a pride in.
You certainly can have no
reason for hesitating while
