The Cubans are a long-suffering people,
according t Senor V. de la Calle, a resi
dent of Havana, who was in the city during
the week. Senor Calle deals largely in ma
chinery and supplies, and buys his stock at
this time. He had purchased in New York,
previous to coming here, because, as he said,
"he had not heard of Pittsburg." He left
an order here for 55,000 worth of machinery,
and promised to call again nest rear.
Referring to the condition of the Cubans,
Senor de la Calle says they are the worst
governed people in the world.
"Think of it," he said, "the population
ot the island is 1,500,000, and these people
pay the Spanish Government $26,000,000
annually. They pay a property tax of 10 per
cent in addition to various municipal and
local taxes. They also pay for an army of
10,000 soldiers which the Government must
leep there to prevent an open revolt of the
people.
SA.VI3) BT THE SOLDIER'S.
"To say that dissatisfaction is rife is to
use a very mild term. If it were not for
the soldiery the people would rise and seize
the Government themselves. The authori
ties are absolutely indifferent to the wel
iarc of the inhabitants. For instance, the
great scourge of the islands is the yellow
fever. A primary cause of this is the un
sanitary condition of the shores and cities.
The outlay of a very little money in cut
ting a canal through a peninsula to connect
two waterways would flood an area of
ground which periodically dries up with
very horrible results. This is where the
yellow fever is bred and whence it spreads.
"The ardent wish of the Cubans is for an
nexation to the United States. If a
couple of war vessels and a regiment or two
were to run down and demand possession
thev would be received with open arms.
Possession by the United States is the only
hope in the heart of the Cuban for the bles
sincrsofa fostering Government, such as
they now obtain here.
ItASY SUMMER VISITORS TO CUBA.
"We have many visitors during summer,"
continued the Cuban. "Fully 60,000 per
sons visited the island last season, and the
number increases annually. This season's
crop of sugar was unasally good, the pro
portion of saccharine matter in the canes
being above the average. By a recent
improvement in the, process of making
sugar the operation has been made
more continuous and profitable. The
stalks, which arc used for fuel, are
dried by artificial meaus. as they come from
the crushers, and fed directlv from them
into the fires, llefore. the stalks were per
mitted to dry naturally, and if the weather
was damp dr-lav ensued. The climate,
though, is deliehtiuj, the temperature never
falling below K0 or exceeding i)'J.

"Brigands are numerous, and the business
of capturing rich Cubans is a profitable un
dertaking. Not lone aco a wealthy friend
of mine was captured and tnken to the
mountains. He was told to write to his
friends and say his ransom had been fixed at
517.000. He did so, and he also cau
tioned them against tryinc to res
cue him by force. He would
have been killed without doubt.
Tln-y treated me well,' he told me after
ward. 'I went for some time without food
and at length I cried: "Oh! if I only had a
cun of milk anil some oatmeal I could en
dure this." "Why, certainly," said the chief
hncnnd; the fenor can have everything he
desires."
"A whistle blew: a boy appeared, received
the order and quickly returned with ex
cellent milk and oatiiK-al. I was ell taken
carp of, but it was expensive livinc; il
con me f 17,000." The Government makes
no attempt at suppressincr brigandage.
Americans who come thre, though, gener

and the 'chevaliers d' Industrie know it."

Its KOcts on a lonns Englishman at a
Trading Tost Out Wjpst.
"Way back in the 70's," said Mr. T. B.
.Montgomery, at the Monougahcla, last
evening, in a reminiscent mood, "there
was a lot of tourists scattered over the
"West, who came to hunt the buffalo and
see the country. They were for the most
part healthy younc; Moods who traveled in
style, and whoe outfits were gorgeous.
They were always welcome guests at the
frontier posts, and some of the stories with
which our boysplied them made the hair on
the heads of their doting mammas stand on
end when re' old with the usual embellish
ments. But there was one particular partv
which journeed to Texas and the Indian
na'ion that will reniembtr their trip as long
as they live.
"It was a cold, raw night, early in No
vember of "71, that word was brought to
Captain I) . of the Tenth Cavalry, com
manding a small, one-company post" in the
Indian Nation, that a party of touri-ts liijd
arrived and desired to see him. Hurrying
on his cloak, 1) cime out to them and
was met with 'Bee; pardon, I am sure, but I
am Lieutenant Orsfall, of Her Majesty's
East India contingent service, don't yon
know, and desire the hospitality of the post
for the night." D made them heartily
elcome, saw that man and beast were pro
erly cared for, and then sauntered down to
the 'sutler's shop' for a drink. The only
drinkable on hand was some Tarantula j ,iee
whisky that the boys used to say 'would
make a man run ten miles to chew his
youngest child's ear off.' and a decoction of
sonic kind of bitters made to evade the law
against selling whisky in the Nation, which
was even worw? than this whisky. The com
maudunt and his guest walked over to the
rouirh board that answered for i bar, and
faced the sutler or post trader, a tough
looking fellow.
"'What will you have, Lieutenant?" in
quired his host.
" 'I'll take a little hock," said the Eng
lishman. "Hock be blowed' said the trader;
you'll drink whisk v, t at's what you'll
Urink, and be glad to"get it, too."
"Ursfall's hairstoodon end when he raised
the glass to his lips and he took a fit after
he had swallowed half of it. Fear of the
tradei compelled him to finish the drink,
and tht-n he swooned. He was carried to a
hut and put to buJ,
"Next morning lie came across Buck
Stanton, the post interpreter, cleaning an
old smooth-bore. After watching him a
moment he said: 'I don't suppose you can
compare at all with us in marksmanship,
jouknow." 'I don't know," said Stanton;
"give us a specimen of your English shoot
ing." " 'I spent last summer with my friend,
Lord Itoss, at his manor," said the
Englishman. 'His Lordship walked out
one morning and put up a bull's eye;
walked off 25 yards, wheeled, fired and took"
it; 25 yards more; the same; 25 more, the
same; walked off another 25 yards, complet
ing 100, and took it again."
" That's good shooting, sure,' said Stan
ton, 'but when I lived down in Paolo Pinto
county, Tex., I ucd to amuse mvself the
same way at times, only I used a live mark.
I used to cinch a saddle on a mustang early
in the morning; ride off in the prairie;
lasso a buffalo bull; Ret down and picket
him to a mosanito bush. Then, walkins
off exactly 10 yards, I wheeled, fired
I nnt 4nnir ttift hull's nvp rnlVkrl in
25 yards, the same; 25 more, the same; 25
more the same; then walking the remaining
25 yards, completing the 100, 1 stnek the
gun in the bull's mouth, and blew the gun,
bull and all to kingdom come, Lieutenant
Orsfall."
"The Englishman walked away with a
look of disgust and astonishment over
sprcadinc his features and when he met old
Colonel Gucrson, the commanding officer of
the Tenth, sometime afterward, and told
him that Stanton was a 'deuced vulgar fel
law, vou know," he meant every word ho
said."
GBAirrS FEALTY TO FEUKDS.
now Ho Reinstated the Son of an Old Com
rade In Office.
"Of the most prominent traits in General
Grant's character," said Colonel T. K.
Matheson, of "Washington, at the Duquesne
last evening, when the conversation turned
on the late President, "was the steadfast
manner in which he stuck to his friends. I
can recall a case which illustrates that. In
1873 the term of a "Western Senator ex
pired, and before leaving "Washington he
secured a position in the Postoffice
Department for his only son, a
bright young fellow whose only
failing wa's an indulgence in an occasional
spree. Marshall Jewell was then Post
master General, and he had appointed the
boy. After a month or so of work, he went
on a spree, and under its effects resigned
bis position. "When he had straightened
up and realized his trick his heart was
broken; out of money, out of place, with a
wife and child to take care of, he didn't
know where to turn. All at once he
thought of General Grant, and off he went
to tiic "White House. His acquaintance
with the attaches readily procured him an
audience with the President, to whom he
made a clean breast of the whole affair.
" 'Can you stop drinking?" asked the
President.
" 'Yes, sir," replied the young man.
'"Will you promise me not to touch a
drop of anything intoxicating for a vear?"
" 'Yes, sir," came the answer. Taking a
card, Grant wrote: 'The Postmaster Gen
eral will please reinstate Mr. to his
clerkship in the Postoffice Department. IT.
S. G." He handed this to the son of his old
friend, and told him to be a man.
"The vouns man was soon in the Postmas
ter General's office. The official slowly read
the card. 'There is no vacancy," he said. 'I
have filled your place. However, put an
application on file, and it will be consid
ered in its turn.' The clerk returned, in a
dejected mood, to the "White House.
" 'He said there was no vacancv, did he?'
said the President, 'and told you to file an
application, eh? "Well, you can't file that
wite and baby ot yours, can yonv tirant
took the can! and wrote on the reverse side,
'You make a vacancy or I will."
" 'The President of the United States can
have my resignation if he desires it," said
the Postmaster General, testily, when the
message was handed to him, 'but he can
not put you in this department while I am
at the head of it'
The now thoroughly discouraged sup
pliant for office once more returned to the
White House and told Grant what the Post
master General had said.
" 'Take this young man over to the Navy
Department," said the President to a clerk
whom he called from an adjoining room,
'and say to Secretary Robeson that I desire
his appointment as clerk." This time the
appointment was made.
"There was a Cabinet council next day,
and Grant asked for and was tendorcd and
accepted the Postmaster General's resigna
tion. The clerk? He kept his promise,
and is to-day a respected, sober man."
H00SIEES F0S BLAME.
Such Is the General Feeling, According to
an Old Soldier.
Colonel "W. IL Tucker, of Indianapolis,
was at the Union depot last night. He is
a member of the Union Veteran Legion, and
was going to Beading to prepare for the en
campment there. Asked how the President
was regarded in his own State, Colonel
Tucker said:
"Well, I would rather not say anything
about that. I would rather uot see printed
what I think is the opinion now held ot
President Harrison among Indiana Repub
licans I can say, however, that I think he
is making a mistake in seeking a second
term. I am opposed to second terms on
principle, but I most decidedly think that
Mr. Harrison should not push the issue. He
has given us a good and clean administra
tion, to be Eure, hut he will make a mistake
if he seeks a renomination. Tho people
want Blaine, and if he will accept he will
be the next President of these United
States."
Fruit as a Routine Diet.
"The abundant fruit crops have knocked
the bottom out of the wholesale grocery
business," said a traveling man for a local
house yesterday." I have just returned
from a regular trip, and this time last rear
I had booked 200 orders for a general line.
This time I booked none. The country
people are chock full of fruit, and are liv
ing on it as much as possible. They are
buying very little meat, and making the
fruit take the place of the regular diet.
They buy a little sugar and coffee, but that
is all. Collections, also, are slow, and tho
business, taking it all around, in a poor
conditio"."

A GLASS BOOM AHEAD.
Owners of Window Houses Look for
Big Business This Season.
FACTORIES TO RESUME THIS WEEK.
Striking Minora Are Making a Game Fight
for an Advance.
MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS
Before another week has rolled by a freat
many of the window glass factories will bo
in operation. The 15th of the present
month has been fixed as the date for most of
them to start, and as that will be Thursday,
it is expected that preparations for resum
ing will be commenced to-morrow or next
day. There many be a few of the houses
that will not be fired up until after the next
meeting of the manufacturers.
This meeting will be .held in Cleveland
during the following week; with short pro
ductions and light stocks in jobbers' hands,
it is said it is almost certain that prices
will be advanced. There is little or no
glass in the hands of the jobbers or manu
facturers and as the former have filled up
largely with cheap glass they will want
better prices.
JlS EXCELLENT OUTLOOK AT PRESENT.
The outlook for the season just commenc
ing is splendid. Several manufacturers
were seen yesterday. They have not talked
so hopefully on the outlook for years. The
cause for this is mainly on account of the
fact that the stock this year is fully 100,000
boxes less than at this time last year.
There is a growing demand for glass since
Luilding operations are resuming a healthy
condition, and there is a difference in the
time of starting up the factories that will
result favorably to the manufacturers.
Inquiry was "made yesterday into the con
dition of'the local factories that have either
resumed or are about to start up. S. W.
McKee will not be ready to operate for
some time, owing to repairs which have not
yet been completed. This will be the chief
cause for detaining those who do not resume
on October 15. O'Lcary Bros, will start up
at Monongahela City on Thursday. They
will melt with coal this fire, but will con
tinue to use natural gas in the blow fur
nace and flattening oven, or at least as long
as tne luel holds out.
WHAT OTHER FIBMS ARE DOINO.
Cunningham & Co. will likely not start
before If ovember 1, but D. O. Cunningham
is already in operation, with a full crew.
Ihmsen's have started their ten-pot furnace,
using natural gas. Thev announce that the
furnace with gas producers will not be
ready yet for several weeks.
One of the tanks at Jcannette was put in
operation last week and another will be
fired up to-night. The factory of Thomas
Wightman & Co., in the West End,.will
not be in operation before November 1.
Phillips & Co. have a ten-pot furnace in
operation. George Wamhoff & Co., will
resume full time this week.
There will bo in all 1,C00 pots in opera
tion this year. This is nearly double as
many as were operated 10 years ago, and
yet the demand greatly exceeds the supply.
The workers are feeling in good trim tor
work after their prolonged rest, and most of
them are pretty well satisfied to get back to
work.
Ylrslnla Granite for Plttsbnrff.
Edward Stots, alocal architect, and James
Johnston, the contractor, have been in Man
chester, Va., inspecting the granite pro
duced at the works of Rennie & Mcintosh,
who have been awarded the contract for tho
first story of a granite front on a large
building now in the course of erection in
this city.
The object of their visit was to determine
whether to use granite or sandstone in the
balance of the building, which is to be seven
stories high. They decided in favor of
granite. It will require about 5,000 cubio
leet to carry out the designs of tho archi
tect. It is said this will be the first Vir
ginia granite used in a building front iD this
city. ,
Frelchtmen's Runs Too Xiong.
There are varied rumors of a difficulty
that may lead to a strike on the Ft. Wayne
road. The freight men are said to be op
posing the run through from Conway to
Crestline. They claim the run is entirely
too long and they are not allowed enough
time at home. One of the employes who
lives in Allegheny, said last night he had
been away from Wednesday at 1 o'clock
until yesterday afternoon. There will be a
meeting called" soon at which the matter
will be discussed and some formidable plan
arranged, which the company will unasked
to accept.
Boilers Become Manufacturers.
W. S. McCullough and R. A Robinson,
the rollers at Moorhead Brothers & Co.'s
mill, over whose positions the recent strike
occurred, became part owners in the Key
stone Manufacturing Company yesterday.
This plant is located at Thirty-third street.
Messrs. McCullough and Robinson will
rank as manufacturers in the future, and
must of necessity withdraw from the Amal
gamated Association. This fact, however,
will not release the strike of the plate mill
crew, but it will be continued by the Amal
gamated Association with the same vigor as
before.
In No Hurry Abont the Scale.
There has been considerable misunder
standing about the notices posted in the
works of Carnegie Bros. & Co., at Braddock,
relative to the desired change in the scale.
Many have thought that the firm would
notify the men immediately of what changes
were wanted. While the firm did say that
it would be ready to confer with tho men
after October 10, there is no intimation
when the conference will be held. The
present scale docs not expire until Decem
ber 31, and the new scale may not be ar
ranged for a month or two yet.
Weekly Paper Ont on Time.
The printers' strike has not changed color
in the last two or three days. Each side is
putting forth its best effort, and the fight is
evidently at its height. The large firms
say their work is being put out all right,
and the weekly publicat ons were out yes
terday on time. Still the printers are'not
losing hope, and President Prescott ex
presses great confidence in the men
winning.
A Veteran Boiler Resigns.

Quite a number of additional bricklayers
have received employment at their price,

there was found to be a less number of men

out, which is 1,300 less than estimated by
the miners' officials, that will raise an im

with the exception of 12 men at Cooks.
The men employed at the Jumbo mines

Under the caption of "Rapid Transit in
Novel Dress; Double Decked Electric
Street Cars Exhibited and Experimented
With," the Chicago Herald of October 6
says:
On the invitation of George M. Pullman
a large number of Chicago representative
business men and others interested in rail
way locomotion went to Pullman yesterday
afternoon and witnessed the practical
demonstration of an Invention which
is expected to be the solution of the rapid
transit problem, viz.: the operation of a car
designed to double the carrying capacity of
street railwavs and greatly enhance the
comfort of the passengers. Two special
cars left the Van Buren street station, at
2:10 p. m., carrying:

DESCRIPTION OF Tnr, CAB.
The new car which the party was invited
to inspect is the joint invention of E C.
Sessions, a banker in Oakland, Cal., and C.
L. Pullman. It is a "double-decker" con
cern, operated by the trolley electric sys
tem. Mr. Sessions is responsible for the
upper deck of the car, while Mr. Pullman
designed the central entrance and elevated
pilot houses. In general appearance the
car resembles the double-decked vehicles in
common use in London and Paris, and it
presented a handsome appearance as it stood
on the rails of the experimental tracks
along the western edge of the city. The
new car is 32 feet long; the width
7 feet and 4 inches; height, 14 feet 9
inches. The chief aim of the inventors was
to design a car with double the usual carry
ing capacity. The new car will seat 40 pas
sengers on each deck. The car body is so
arranged that passengers may enter at tho
center of either side, where spiral stairs
lead to the upper deck. Four stairways,
combined with two at the bottom, separate
toward the top, leading to either end of the
car. The entrances at the center occupy no
more space than the end platforms on ordi
nary street cars. The lower car body
consists of two compartments, each
12 leet long, with circular ends,
scats being carried around the
ends as well as at the sides. The upper
deck is entirely covered with a canopy at
tached to the" pilot house. The car is
equipped with, electric chandelier and a
double oil lamp in eaoh compartment. Elec
tric heaters are also set in the car. Two
Westinghousc motors of 25 horse-power fur
nish the force. The car rests on two trucks
of special design, arranged with double
brake attachments and a friction brake. The
efficiency of the brakes was demonstrated by
the stoppage of the car within its own
length while traveling at a speed of 12
miles an hour. H. H. Sessions, manager of
the Pullman Car Works, is the inventor of
the brake attachment,
IT ASTONISHED THE PASSENGERS.
The operation of the motors was perfect,
giving great speed and being under perfect
control. The gentlemen present expressed
themselves as being astonished at the great
advance made in these new Westinghouso
motors and the remarkable economy in the,
power consumed, eeverai new conveniences
have been introduced on the car, such as
electric bells for stopping by signal from
the passengers and an electric diagram,
showing where vacant seats may be found
on the upper deck. The car requires the
services of three employes. The vehicle ex
hibited yesterday was finished in mahogany,
handsomely decorated and painted a beauti
ful carmine. It weighs 28,000 pounds, and
cost 53,500. Last week a large party of Bos
ton electric street railway men visited Pull
man and made a careful inspection of its
merits, departing with the promise of an or
der for a large number of cars for use next
summer.
An incorporated company hasbeen formed
by a number of Chicago capitalists for the
manufacture of this new car, and they hope
to be able to furnish an important factor
toward solving the transportation problem
during the World's Fair. The new car will
be known as the Pnllman center vestibule
street car with upper seats.
This netv motor, with street cars corre
sponding to the Pullman palace cars on
steam roads, marks a new era in street rail
roading. AN IMPORTANT LOCAL INDUSTRY.
It should greatly redound to the credit of
the Westinghousc Company that motors
manufactured by them are the first to be
placed under cars of such large dimensions,
and it showed conclusively that confidence
was placed in the motors manufactured by
that company. This type of car, on account
ot its novel features and great carrying ca
pacity, will no doubt meet with much favor
and will be placed on very many street
railways where the traffic is exceedingly
heavy, and as it has been proven by this
test that the Westinghouse motors possess
the requisite qualities for this severe service,
the result cannot fail to be of great advant
age to this Pittsburg industry in largely
increasing the amount of railway business
now being done by them.
