TWELVE PAGES TOTING TJCNYN THEIR PLATFORM. One of the singular features of the late attempt to rusli free silver coinage through Congress,' is the repudiation by prominent party men of the policy formally adopted by the authoritative body of their party as its platform. The Democratic Senators not only voted for a measure in known opposition to the stand of tliPir candidate but they actually voted down the Demo cratic platform. The amendment to the free coinage bill proposed in the Senate, made as a proviso, that silver dollars should be coined only mder conditions -to assure their parity with gold, the language of the proviso being identical with the language of the plank on that subject in the Democratic platform. Seventeen Democratic Sena tors voted down the platform of their party; and only five of them voted to maintain it. This leaves sundry prominent Demo crats in a very parlous condition. They an all wont to turn up the nose of scorn at independents who decline to be bound by party bonds; and one of them has in dustriously made political capital by trum peting abroad tbc assertion, "I am a Demo-1 crat." But w hat more certain test is there of a party man than fidelity to party principles and what more authoritative declaration of party principles than tiiat made by the national convention of the party? So that the leading Democrats who have repudi ated their party principles in the futile effort to force free silver coinage on the country will go near to being thought lit tle better than the hated mugwumps, and an awful shadow of doubt is cast whether David Bennett Hill is a Demo crat afterall. This spectacle informs us that party loyalty is regarded by the leaders as excel lent tics for the binding of other people, and incidentally affords data for an esti mate of the exact value of party platforms. Finally it affords a contrast in the fact that the Democrats swear by a tariff plank which denies the principles of Jackson, while the one plank that declares sound principles they promptly repudiate. TRAIN ROBBERY NOW. The reign ot lawlessness in a changed form demonstrated itself yesterday In the shape of the news of the train robbery in the Indian Territory. Four men board a train, 'xchanize shots with five mn on tha train bold enough to offer a feeble resist ance, finally obtain possession of the ex press car, blow open the safe and ride off with 550,000. This is a new form of the various indica tions of the failure of the law to compel obedience simply from a long-settled pre sumption that people will obey it without compulsion. That may be the case in some parts of the country. But the Indian Territory is infested with lawless gangs, and this very quality of looseness in en forcement of the law is making their law lessness profitable. Hardly any attempt at train robbery in that section has failed to reap a harvest throuch the combined in action of the law and pusillanimity of peo ple who permit robbery to go on under their noses for fear of getting shot. It might be presumed that, in a section where train robbery has been as frequent, officers of the law or railroad corporations would organize guards for the trains. If Pinkerton guards were of any value in actual fighting there wonld seem to be a field for service there. But the general disposition to do nothing is almost as marked in the case of train robbery as in the misdeeds of more respectablo and in fluential law-breakers. There Is need for a universal public as sertion that the laws must be enforced against all who break them, even if the people have to resort to extraordinary methods to get them enforced and the law breakers punished. 8FECIMEX FKEE TRADE FALLACIES. Burgess McLuckie's discovery that the McKin ley bill was "a gigantic conspiracy," because, as he supposed, -while decreasing the duty on billets whose price deter mined tlio wages scale it increased the duty on beams and other things to make up the profit to the Carnegie Company, was one of the two arguments leveled against the tariff at the Congressional in vestigation. The other came from Con gressman Bynum. Mr. Bynum reiterated the remark that as prosperity in the iron and steel business was very great in 1879 1880, and importations of iron and steel were also very extensive in those years, therefore prosperity in the business went hand in hand with importations. This, argued the Congressman, kills the idea of keeping out the foreign product Now, mark what befell these two anti protection points. "Witness McLuckie was shown to be proceeding upon utter misin formation. The McKinley bill did not in crease the duty upon any of the Carnegie Company's products. In place of increas ing the duty on beams, as the witness all the time thought, it reduced the duty on beams nearly twice as much as the reduc tion upon billets. Thus the "gigantic con spiracy," while a fine sounding phrase, simply collapsed when it came to the fig ures. Next, as to Congressman Bynum's point. KHe forgot, or probably was not aware, thai 1879-1SS0 was an abnormal period in the history of the iron trade. The country was just recovering from the prolonged effects of the panic of 73. Everybody had Ifor years been economizing notably the Jrailroads, which got along as best they could with little or no extensions and as few and inexpensive repairs as possible. But economy brought means in good time. The country in '79 awoke to simultaneous demands all over it for iron to build new roads, to repair old ones, to furnish new car equipment, and so on. All the Ameri can mills and furnaces were not able to supply this sudden demand, nor was the stock on hand in England. Hence prices rose enormously for a short period; and then dropped back again. Speculation helped the flurry. All thisled to importa tion. Everyone who was in the iron busi ness at the period Congressman Bynum talks about will bear witness to the ab normal, feverish, fluctuating and specula tive condition which essentially distin guished the trade in 79 and 80. Following upon the extraordinary de mand of that time came the extraordinary American investments of capital in new iron and steel works, and in extension of the old ones, to supply that demand. For Congressman Byrum to argue now that because the stock on hand and facilities for manufacture in 79-'80 were so inade quate to the sudden demand then, there fore it is a good thing for American indus try altvnys to have foreign iron and steel coming in, has the true inconsequential ring of free trade fallacy. In 79-'80 the English article did not displace American iron. Our home mills could not then turn out enough to meet the sudden demand. But our mills have since been multiplied ten fold, and are now more than equal to the demand; and every pound of foreign iron or steel sold here now is a pound taken from the product which Americans could turn out, and a cause of loss in place of an evidence,of a healthy state of things in the trade. A FOREIGN LABOR IDIOSYNCRASY. The fact is reported that an ocean steamer on her last outward voyage car ried in her steerage some 250 Italian laborers who have accumulated a com petence of 5400 to 5(500 each and now re turn to their native land to settle down and enjoy their opulence. The same trait of coming to this country, earning a little money and going back to their own coun try, where a very little is wealth, has been noted with regard to the Chinese. Some people are disposed to make it the ground of serioufe complaint against both races. The complaint has a rather slender foundation. If the Italians and Chinese do nothing worse in this country than to earn a few hundred dollars each and go back to their own country as retired capi talists they will do the United States little harm. The total of money that they take out of the country in a year will be less than the total spent by a single summer's wealthy excursionists to Europe. More over their influence on this country,' so far as this practice is concerned, is summed up in the fact that they have given value received for all they take away. The money must have been earned in pro ductive labor. Neither the gesticulating Roman, nor the childlike Chinaman, ob tain their wealth by extracting it from the public by jugglery extortion. Moreover Americans have gone to foreign countries to make fortunes much larger than the Italian and the Chinese piles, and have come back to enjoy them. We do not think that the United States can make this a ground for indicting these races. That the concentration of large masses of ignorance in the shape of imported labor is a danger; that one of the races re ferred to is turbulent and the other secretly vicious; and that both are cheap labor, may be good reasons for regulating their immigration. But their habit of earning a little money and going home to enjoy it presents on the whole a satis factory and easy way of disposing of them. PALMER'S LATEST YIEWS. It is a notable and prominent fact that it makes a vast difference to some gentle men or pretensions tatesmanship which party is pinched by labor troubles. The rampant partisanship of Senator Voor hees In his speech on the Homestead out break vmo a ri'r!ni il'nstratinn of this fact, and it -was carried to a length of demagogy which repelled rather than convinced the public Senator Palmer was deemed to nave taken a more digni fied tone, and yet expressed more radical ideas in declaring that manufacturing establishments employing large bodies of men were public institutions, and that it would be destructive of freedom "if em ployers have the right of dismissal at pleasure." Tet it is recalled that on a certain occa sion in the Senator's own State there was an opportunity to express these views which SenatorPalmer omitted to improve. The case of the Spring "Valley mines is comparatively fresh in the public mind. It is only three years since the miners were offered the option of semi-starvation pay for hard work and absolute starvation with no work at all. The sufferings of tho miners -in resisting a reduction to wages lower than the lowest laborer gets at Homestead was a topic of national dis cussion. But all the talk did not-preyent them from being starved into submission. There is not on record anywhere the fact that John M Palmer declared that the Spring Valley mines were a public in stitution, or that wm. L. Scott, the pro prietor of the mines, had not a right to re fuse his men work at advanced wages. It may be possible that the fact that W. L. Scott was a Democrat of national in fluence affected Senator Palmer; but it is certain that it required a labor trouble in an industry that is generally reputed to be owned by Republican capitalists, and the opening of a Presidental campaign, for him to develop principles that take him far along the road to Socialism. It is also clear that it is a factor of vital weight to some statesmen which party ox is gored. A NEW CHICAGO PLEDGE. The people who will not permit public agencies to accept large sums of money for public purposes unless the conditions exactly suit them are multiplying rapidly. The laboring men who are anxious that the city shall repudiate a completed con tract and return Mr. Carnegie's gift, which the city has not got, but which is in the hands of trustees, are discounted by the attitude of the combined societies of Chi cago. These organizations want the "World's Fair to refuse the Government appropria tion on account of the Sunday closing clause in the appropriation Dill, and pledge their "individual assistance to secure the money necessary from the patriotic citi zens of Chicago." If the Chicago societies (presumably German) have a matter of five or six million dollars about them to give to the World's Fair, they will doubtless enable that body to decline the appropriation. But it must be remembered that Chicago has been persistently begging this appro priation on the ground that it is impossible to raise any more money in Chicago. If the Sunday closing proviso should disclose the presence of 55,000,000 for the Fair in Chicago, which Chicago's representatives have asserted strenuously was not there, that rather narrow-minded enactment may assume the aspect of a public benefit. But in view of the nature of Chicago pledges, it will be necessary for the "World's Fair directors to see the money in hand before they throw away the Govern ment appropriation. There have been numerous pledges in connection with this World's Fair business. One was that Chicago would furnish all the money her self, and the subsequent proceedings rob the repetition of the statement, when made as a threat, of all its terrors. Then, too, it was asserted that there were indi vidual pledges of something like 58,000,000 to the "World's Fair stock, but the latest returns indicate that about half that sum is the maximum of collectable assessments. Remembering these things, the latest proposition for raising numerous millions does not contain any assured prospect of cash. The Dispatch regards the absolute closing of the Exposition on Sundays as unwise and unnecessary. But that fact should not provoke the supererogatory demonstration of the length to which peo ple can go making fools of themselves under temporary excitement. THE CHILEAN' CLAIMS. There is an intimation that the Chilean trouble is not over in the report, that comes by the roundabout route of Santiago and back that the United States Govern ment has expressed its intention of push ing the claims of the sailors for damages in the "Valparaiso riots, "when the time is ripe." That proper damages should be claimed for the assault on these sailors, is unques tioned; but it is well for Governments as well as individuals to act within the limits of reason. The ridiculous nature of these claims was made known by the State De partment some time ago. The Chilean Government having declined to entertain them until they were reduced to an approx imation of reason, the United States de clined to exchange further notes on the matter and declared its intention of push ing claims as stated above. This is the statement made by the Chilean Minister of Foreign Affairs. It happens to be the case, that the United States in its own action has afforded a measure of damages which by no means.fixes the amount due to the mobbed sailors, but shows the excessive character. For having had a half-score of Italians lynched in its jurisdiction the United States paid 525,000; for the killing by a mob of some scores of Chinese the payment was about 5150,000. The total paid as damages to the Italian victims was half the lowest individual claim of sailors who were beaten by a Chilean mob. The total paid-for the lives of scores of Chinese was equal the highest individual claim in the Valparaiso list Che total of the claims of two million dollars is far in excess of the ability of Chile to pay, and is wholly out'of proportion to the measure of puni tive damages prevailing in the United States. To push such claims would be danger ously approaching the policy of Mr. Mark Meddle, who offers the other characters in the" play a chance to kick him in order that he may recover heavy damages. Let the claims be contracted to something within reason, and then it will be proper policy for the Government to urge them. AMATEUR pugilists have one marked ad vantage over amateur actors fiqma public point of view the former punish one another and tho latter the spectators. Tins is an age of ingenuity, and few op portunities are lost of making money at the expense of individuals or tho nation. A new and fraudulent industry has been started by a Chinesalawyerwho lias profited by Western civilization to an extont that enables him to turn out bogus certificates for a consideration to admit Celestials who arc ineligible to land in this country under the last restriction bill. Special facilities for a sun bath were provided by the brief but brilliant sun shower in the city yesterday afternoon. Seeing that Russia is ao far away and hfti so many ills to look after there it no wnpdr.thfit connry v:,: b" !! to ro rnt to participate in the International monetary conference. Now that it is known Just what nations wish to be represented, it might be a good plan to set about selecting a place for the conference and conferees to attend it. It is said that the Government has se cured a coaling station on one of the Gala pagos Islands. As this group of islets is situated directly under the equator one must draw the line at thinking of them this weather when cooling stations are more de sirable subjects for tho imagination. Bismarck appears to be one of the men who most enjoy speaking the truth when it is disagreeable to someone else. Harritt can hardly be described as willing, but it is understood that he will manage to overcome his coyness sufficiently to accept the Democratic Chairmanship if it should be offered to him. Inhabitants of Mount Etna have more than their fill of troubles, the lava is running over. When the Democratic party notifies Adlai Stevenson of his nomination he will perhaps notify the country of his identity which came to light apropos of the nomina tion. It looks as though train robberies will not end until the millennium begins. There is little use in expecting Pitts burgers to pay any attention to politics while baseball is absorbing enough to make 93,000 people pay to see tho game in 45 days. There was something very striking about last night's lightning. INTERNATIONAL 1MINGS. Baron Hirsch has just turned over $35,000 to the London hospitals, which he had won on the turf this season. Emanuel Lasker, the chess player, who recently defeated Mr. Blaokburne, the English champion, is only 24 years of age. Mr. and Mrs. Rtsscll Harrison are occupying the President's Cape May cot tage, and passing the season quietly and en tertaining only a few guests. Miss Ella L.

Gut De Maupassant's friends are still hoping that he may recoi er his reason.butif the diagnoses of the doctors are correct, he will spend the remainder of his days in an asylum for the insane. Levi K. Fuller, Republican candidate for Governor of Vermont, has been a mem ber of tho Estey Organ Company since 1886, having been in its employ as engineer and machinist for six yeais prior to thatdate. M. Jules Claretie, the French play wright, has written a new piece called "L'Americaine." It is the story of a sonti mental Yankee, nn enamored Frenchman, and an American Irish nurse. The play is said to be very lively and clever. Dr. Ludwio Fulda, the German play wright, was born 30 years ago in Frankfort-on-the-Main. He was educated at neid el berg, and began his literary career in Berlin. Fulda's reputation was first established by his one-act play, "Unter Vier Augen." TnERE are 12 memorial kindergartens at work in San Francisco, and six of them were started by Mrs. Leland Stanford. To put them on a permanent basis she has now set aside $100,000 as an endowment fund. She had given $60,000 for these schools pre viously. The one opened tn 18S4 by Mrs. Stanford was the first memorial kindergar ten in the world, it is said. METAL TIES MUST GO. The Pennsylvania Railroad to Return to Wood After Many Tears' Trial. Philadelphia, July 15 The officers of the Pennss'lvanla Railroad Company have come to tho conclusion that the metal ties which they have been experimenting with for the past 15 years are of no account, and they have given orders that all that are now in use shall be taken up and the old style of wooden ones substituted. About 15 years ago the company com menced to make experiments with metal ties. From that time uu to the present they have been placed at a half-dozen different points along the line of the company, and they have utterly failed in all tho important points in comparison with the wooden ties. The officers found that it wns impossible to keep these metal ties in line, especially in places where there was a curve. These ties, while not answering the purpose of the wooden ones, were also more expensive and did not afford the same comfort or elastic ity of that given by the wooden ones. The Heading Railroad has been experi menting with metal ties for about one year, and the officials of that company are loth at the present time to give any opinion as to the efficiency ol this kind of tie in compari son with the old wooden ones. Nevertheless they seem to meet with the same trouble the Pennsylvania Railroad has encountered. That Is, that the metal ties will not take hold of the ballasts, and it is impossible to keep the ties in line. A EEPOKT ON FISH CTLTTOE Prepared by the Pennsylvania Commission for Governor PattUon. Habrisbuho, July 15. A meeting of the State Fish Commission was held here yes terday. A report was prepared for submis sion to Governor Pattison. In this report reference is mado. to the great increase in the output of shad from tho River Delaware during the years 1S90 and '9L The report recommends an appropriation for flshways in the Juniata at Milleistown and Clark's Ferry, and Shamokin in the Susquehanna, and appeals to the Maryland Fish Commis sion to abolish the fish baskets In tho 14 miles of the Susquehanna's course through that State. The output of the fish has in creased from 300,000 in 1SS5 to 2,500,000 in 1891. At present applications are in lor double tho amount of trout fry that can be propo gated. This year's applications will foot up 5000,000. It was decided to send a committee ot three, consisting or H, C. Ford, President; Vf. L. Powell, Treasurer, andLouis Strenber, of Erie, to the meeting of the United States Fish Commission In Washington to-morrow. At this meeting the subject of an exhibition of all the States in tho fish line at tho World's Fair will bo discussed. HE MAY BE AT SEA. The Only Explanation a New Tork Man JIas of His Brother' VV hereabouts. New Yobe, July 15. Since William G. Vollroer, a youth of 18 years, disappeared from his home at No. 103 Fourth street three years ago, nothing has been heard from him by his family, which now resides at 2135 Lex ington avenue. His brother, Benjamin A. Vollmer, has been advertising for him for some days, but has not been able to learn anything of his whereabouts. Not one ap parently has seen or heard of him since lie fert his home, ono morning in September three years ago, without saying where lie was going or bidding goodby to any member orthe family. His brother Benjamin-believes that he is all rfcrht. He bases this bcliof on the fact that his brother 'Is a sailor, and that in all likelihood he shipped in some vessel which is traversing foreign seas. For two years before his disappearance the young man was engaged as cabin boy on the schooner Ida Haines, that called between New York and Southern ports. Firing the First Guns Chicago Tribune.!

A LOOK AROUND. I hate been rather surprised to find how many people join with me in my protest against the way East End people are dealt with by the Adams Express Company. Al though 1 called attention to this only yesterday, I have had several messages and notes on the subject from people who desire the matter investigated. '1 hese people also complain that an extra charge is imposed on them for the delivery of goods at their houses. The Dispatch will be pleased to take up this and sundry other kindred pub lic nuisances, and see why it is that Pitts burg and Pittsburgers should receive muoh, worse treatment than other cities and peo ple of other cities. Adams Express Company has always had the reputation of being a well managed and more or less obliging corporation, and I believe that when theirattention is called to n flagrant and apparently needless imposi tion it will be remedied. The telephone company Is also an offender. It has for some time given poor service and its old instruments are in some cases almost worthless. This is certainly trne of tho telephone in The Dispatch office. It is almost valueless as a receiver of mes sages from any distance. There are other sources of bother to the public which need looking Into. There is the oab and hack servico for example. No city of any pretensions in the country has as poor a system of public conveyances, and in few places are tho charges so extor tionate. There are but three places in Pittsburg or Allegheny where yon are at all snre or getting a cab without long delay. The standi at the Union station. Fifth ave nue and Smithfield and East Liberty station are usually able to give you some kind of conveyance, but at the Ft. Wayne station the only cab stand in Allegheny City and at the Pittsburg and Lake Erie depot on the Southside, the chances nre decidedly against getting a hack or cab under from 20 minutes to half an hour. If there is any regulation of charges by Councils U is inoperative and valueless, and the rule is for a driver to charge all he thinks tho passenger will stand. The congressional committee which looked into theHomesteadmattermadea decidedly favorable Impression here both on those who were summoned before it and thoso who gained their knowledge of its operations from the reports in the newspapers. It was admittedly much above the average in in telligence, in application to business and In the comparatively fair and free manner in whicli it sought to get at tho bottom of the whole business. I have talked with a num ber of those most concerned on each side, and none of them made a complaint except as to one passage at arms in which the tariff was sought to be attacked unfairly by one of the Democratic members. The men who composed this committee seemed to realize the gravity of the situation and tho danger of attempting at such a time to gain a nar row partisan advantage from a deplorable state of things outride of political lines and not due to political causes. It is safe to say that the country, the big, calm, deliberative body of citizens which forms the bulk of the population of the Union, is In no temper to permit parti sanship in regard to the labor troubles which are now at hand or which are coming into view on the horizon. The greatest weight in this country in public affairs Is that which is in itself lmDonderable the public sentiment of respect for honestly applied law. No aggregation of selfish, self interest can stand before it either mas queraded as something else or in its own nakedness.

The Famous Washington Strnctnre Does Not Lean Like the One In Pisa. Washington, July 15. There is consider able speculation just now ovor the statement that the Washington monument, 55") feet high and 59 feet square at the base, is per ceptibly lying from the perpendicular. Custodian Hawkins, who is in charge of the shaft, ays: "The monument is inclining, Dut it has done that ever since it was built, and the direction is just now to tho southwest. Come here and 1 can show you Just how It behaves." Mr. Hawkins produced a chart of the movement o. the monument for the month, and said: "The shaft has a slow and toler ably rcgularycarly movement, whioh seldom exceeds oue-liundredth or an inch. It travels round In a circle. Then there is also a daily movement, somewhat circular, swinging around from day to day between one one-thousandth and one one-hundredth of an inch each way. A strong, steady wind has some minute effect upon the incli nation of tho shalt, but the principal move ment comes from the effect of the sun's heat upon the stone. "strange to say, the foundation has risen instead of lowered. The movement is meas ured in thousandths of an Inch, and is wholly imperceptible to anything but a leveling telescope, hut It Is reassuring for the patriotic mind to know that the monument is growing." FOE LAND AND LIBEETY. Enthusiastic Cubans Will Try to Secure Tbrlr Country's Freedom. Philadelphia, July 15. A large and en thusiastic meeting ,of citizens of Philadel phia of Cuban birth, who aro interested in working for tho independence of their na tive country, was held last night at Odd Fel lows' Hall, Broad and Spring Garden streets. The opening atldress was made by Gonzalo de Qnesada, who acted in the place of Senor Marti, delegate of the Cuban Revolutionary party, who is in Tampa, Fla., on a mission of special importance. Senor de Quesada was followed by J. A. Lucena, or this city. Secretary or the cluo. Senor Lucena was engaged in the rovolntion or 1669, and was captured by the Spanish Government and sent to Spain, with a lire sentence of Imprisonment.

Tho Census office yesterday issued a bulletin on the subject of the colored population or the United States in 1890. The bulletin shows that tho total colored population, as returned under the census of 1890, is 7,638.36a Of this num ber 7,470,040 are persons of African descent, 107.475 are Chinese, 2,037 are Japanese, ana 58,806 are civilized Indians. Considering persons of African descent, it is seen that there has been an increase during the decade from 1880 to 1890 of 839, 247, or 13 51 per cent, as azalnst an increase during the decade rrom 1870 to 1880 of 1,700, 784, or 31.85 per cent. The bulletin says: "The abnormal increase of the colored pop ulation orthe South during the decade end ing iu 1880 led to tho popular belier that the negroes w ere increasing at a much greater rate than the white population. The pres ent census has shown, however, that the high rate of increase in the colored popula tion, as shown by the census of 18J9, was apparent only and was due to the imperfect enumeration of 1870 in the Southern States." There has been an increase In the number of Chinese in the United States dnrlng the decade from 1880 to 1890 or only 2,010. or 1.91 per cent, the number returned in 1890 being 107,475.

Tho Inmates-or a Cincinnati Hospital De visn a Novel Way to Obtain thn Llqaor. CiscraxATi, July 15. Superintendent Hendley has been trying to find out how his patients at the hospital get the whisky they guzzle. Ho was on a still hunt for a couple of weeks before he solved the mystery. Tuesday the secret was solved. A patient with a broken right arm and a companion were noticed standing with a peculiar air at the window of the annexed room to D ward, on the first floor of the Central ave nue side of the hospital. Whenever a man passed they tried to attract his attention. Finally they caught tho eve of a pedestrian and ho stopped. The disabled man began nibbing his stomach very expressively and put on a look of extreme misery. "Say," he said, "I'm dead thirsty and they won't give a man a thing to drink here. Say," and he threw out a whisky bottlo with a long string attached, so that it reached nearly to the iron fence. "Get me some whisky, won't you?" The man wns shocked. When the patient began he thought that all the fish stories in circulation about the institution were true. He had an idea that the patients were nllowod to go thirsty. As the men saw him wavering they pleaded with him, say ing they would pay for it and bless him for ever, and that it would only take a minute. They urged that they would tell no one. The outsider being ot good sense, passed on. The employe who saw the scene reported it to the superintendent, who immediately went over and ordered the men to give up tho bottle. He does not know how they got It, and thoy will not give any explanation. He Is now busy devising a way to keep the patients from getting whisky without pro hibitinir their standing at the windows. He will only take that measure as a last resort EN0BH0US SUPPLY OF TIN. Lord Thurlow Says the Mines of Dakota Will Snpply All Needs. New Yor.K, July 15. Lord Thurlow, of London, who was Paymaster General In Gladstone's last Cabinet, sailed yesterday on the City of New York.

"This country," said Lord Thurlow, "will not need to import any tin two years hence, for onr mines will produce enough tin to last for centuries. The production will save 15,000,000 a year, which this conntry is pay ing for tin plate. This enormous sum will go into the hands of the people of this coun try. "The company, of which I am the Chair man and in which New York or American capitalists are equally interested, has al ready built two of the largest and most thoroughly equipped mills in the world. Each has a enpacity to produce. 500 tons of tin a day, and this will bo increased to 8,000 tons daily should necessity demand it. "Two or tlireo other mills of similar pro portions have been planned. We expect to begin to work tho two mills already con structed by October 1 and to put tin on the market in commercial quantities. I have inspected tin mining properties in various countries, but I never yet saw such re sources as I found in Dakota." THE LARGEST IN THE WOBLD.

The'sito of the hippodrome has not yet been selected. We have three places in view at present, but do not know which will be decided upon and until we have made a decision we do not care to say much. "M. Arvenf, an efficient architect from Paris, has made the plans and specifications. The structure will be made of Iron, steel and terra cotta, and will be the largest In the world, the seating capacity being 7,000. In a month or so the whole matter in regard to a site will be settlod and work will bo begun at once.
