Better Trade Outlook Reported From
Many Localities.
MANUFAMURERS’ OPINIONS.
me'y Say That a. Revival Is Probable.
Mills Resuining Work on the Strength
J the Hoped For Improvement.
One Dividend Passed.
Chester, Pa., July 28,—The Chester
Pipe and Tube mill was started up sev-
eral weeks ago on one-quarter capacity
after an idleness of several months. Or-
ders have just been posted for starting
another set of furnaces and to run them
night and day, thus giving employment
to three times the number of men who
- were employed last week. The Chester
Times has interviewed such prominent
manufacturers as William E. Trainer,
Richard Wetherill, William S. Blakeley,
Charles Roberts, W. W. MacFarland,
J. C. Fender, D. G. Stokes and Freder-
ick Boldt, the largest in their lines, in-
cluding cotton, woolen, iron, steel and
other industries, and they all predict a
bright outlook and say there has been
a growing improvement in their busi-
ness for weeks. The proprietors of mills
which have been making but three days
per week for two years say they expect
to be running full time by September.
Negotiations are going on here for the
purchase of a site for a mill that will
give employment to 300 families. Cap-
ital is now being subscribed for a dime
savings bank and trust company.
Confidence Causes Resumption.
Norristown, Pa., July 28.—The mill of
the Sterling company in Bridgeport re-
sumed today.
of the company, said: “We have re-
sumed after a shut down since the first
of the month—not because of a rush of
orders, but because we are confident of
an increase in trade. We expect to be
busy shortly.” The company’s chief
output is cassimeres.
Ashley P. Hunter, secretary and man-
ager of the Norristown Woolen com-
pany, was sanguine of an ultimate im-
provement. The company manufac-
tures a fine grade of cloth for men's
wear. Mr. Hunter said: “The advance
in prices, owing to the increase in du-
ties, may halt buying to some extent,
and I would not be surprised to see a
temporary lull. But," he continued, “as
prices gradually adjust themselves to
the new order of things there will come
improvement, and our business will be
benefited.” Asked what would be the
increased cost of a suit of clothing as a
result of the advance in price that must
necessarily follow the higher duty, Mr.
Hunter said that a fine, heavy winter
suit would cost from $1 to $1.25 more.
This, however, was on the assumption
that the wages and prices of five years
ago will be restored, something that he
does not anticipate.
The Conshohocken mill started today
on a large order.

Search Is Hopeful.
Philadelphia, July 28.—Theodore C.
Search of the J. B. Stetson company,
and president of the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers, said: “I am cer—
tainly looking for good business this
fall, and I am sure there is renewed
confidence all along the line. An im-
provement is already noticeable in the
hat trade, in which I am directly inter-
ested. We are now receiving larger or-
ders and for higher priced goods than
for several years past, and that is what
tells the story to us.”
A Large Plow Factory Resumes.
Louisville, July 28.——The, Avery Plow
factory resumed operations today aft-

A Passenger From inanilla “'ho Think:
I It Is Irrepressihle.
San Francisco. July ill—Among the
passengers on the s‘eamer China from
the orient was 'f-l. D. Levinsohn, the
representative. In New Zealand of one
of the largest sugar factories in Manil-
la. Mr. Levinsohn has just come from
Manilla, where, he says, the insurrec-
tion of the natives is still in progress.
"From present indications and from all
I could learn during my sojourn in Ma-
nilla," he said, “the Spanish authorities
will never be able to subdue the insur-
rectionists. It is a common report in
Manilla that the papers are not allowed
to print the truth. They are all under
a press censorship. It was credibly re-
ported in that city shortly after a recent
engagement that the natives had killed
60 of the Spanish soldiers and lost only
2 of their number. As soon as the rainy
weather sets in, which will be very
shortly, you may have some further re-
ports of hostilities, and the victories will
be on the side of the rebels.
“A regiment of Spanish soldiers came
into Manilla from the interior during
my stay in the city, and they were the
saddest lot of men I ever saw. Some of
them were shoes and others did’ not.
Many were more or less distressed for
the want of proper clothes.”

JAPAE’S 33231232.
The London Newspapers Appear to Think
That It May Mean War.
London, July 23.—The.St. James Ga-
zette, commenting upon Japan’s protest
in the Hawaiian annexation matter,
says: “According to European usage it
amounts to a. threat to resist the trans-
fer of the archipelago by force and is
equivalent to warning the United States
that they must give up their views as
to Hawaii or prepare for war. It does
mean just so much in the mouth of Ja-
pan, though the Americans do not seem
to think so. But they have such odd
ideas of diplomatic language that they
are no great authorities."
The Pall Mall Gazette says: “We have
said from the first that it is no concern
of Great Britain whether the United
States annexes Hawaii or not, but Ja-
pan’s protest should give the American
jingoes something to think about. It
remains to be seen whether American
opinion will ratify the annexation pol-
icy. If it does, the matter will become
important, for Japan has a powerful
navy, and if it does not, Secretary Sher;
man, and at any rate President McKin-
ley, will think twice before inviting the
Japanese navy to do the mischief it un-
doubtedly could.”
The Globe, after referring to the "cyn-
ical insolencé of the American minister,”
says: “Should it be our misfortune to
engage in a quarrel with our kin beyond
the sea, we must seize Hawaii imme-
diately, but the state of things against
which it is necessary to take precau-
tions now is the by no means remote
contingency of a. war between the Unit-
ed States and a European power, able
to take Hawaii, which would then be-
come a strategic point of great impor-
tance against ourselves. If Japan ad-
vocates or commutes her rights, it is
the clear duty of this country to inter-
fere, even at the risk of another abusive
dispatch from Sherman.”
A PESTHOUSE ATTACKED.
Alabama Men Fire Into a Building In
Which \Vas a Smallpox Suffer-er.
Birmingham, Ala., July 28.—There are
now 28 cases of smallpox here and more
are developing daily. All the sufferers
are under guard at the pesthouse on
Red mountain, tw0 miles from the
town. The most rigid measures have
been adopted by the health authorities
to stamp out the disease.
A case of smallpox which developed
in the city jail at Bessemer was moved
to the pesthouse near that town. A
mob Went to the place and fired a hun-
dred shots into the house. Guard, nurse
and patient fled, and the latter has not
since been seen. The mob is supposed
to have been made up of citizens who
objected to the presence of the pest-
house.“

THE NEW TARIFF LAW.
It Wentlnto Effect After Midnight of
Last Friday.
SECRETARY GAGE’S OPINION.
It Will Be Taken to the Courts For Final
Adjudication—An Enormous Amount
of Money Involved—Saving on
Beer Stamps, $183,000.
Washington, July 27.-—The secretary
of the treasury holds that the new tar-
iff act was in effect at the beginning of
the day on which‘it received the ap-
proval of the president and therefore
'became operative after midnight on
Friday, July 23. Assistant Secretary
Howell today sent the. following tele-
gram to collectors of customs:
“Department holds that new tariff
law covers and includes all customs
business of July 24.”
Later in the day a formal circular of
instructions covering more fully the de-
partment’s views on the subject was
printed and mailed to all customs col-
lectors. The opinion of the attorney
general has not been requested on the
matter, the department holding that
the question is of sufficient impor-
tance to justify it in taking it to the
courts for final determination, indes
pendent .of what the views-0f the law
officers of the government might be as
to the merits of the case. Senator Alli-
son was at the treasury department to-
"day, and in the course of a conversation
on the subject said that in his opinion
there was no reasonable doubt that the
act covered all of the day on which it
became a law. This also is the view of
all the prominent officials of the treas-
ury department, including the collect-
ors of customs at New York and several
of the leading ports of the country.
The Amount Involved.
Sufficient data upon which to base a
close estimate of the amount of duties
involved have not been received, but it
is stated roughly that it probably will
be between $100,000 and $200,000. The in-
ternal revenue department probably
will save even a greater amount by the
new ruling than the customs branch of
the service. During the five days from
Tuesday, July 20, to and including Sat-
urday, July 24, the internal revenue
stamp agencies sold approximately $5,-
181,800 in beer stamps alone. and of this
amount it is estimated that not more
than one-third, or $1,727,266, reached
their destination before the act went
into effect. The saving to the govern-
ment on these sales of beer stamps
alone is expected to aggregate not less
than $183,000. Commissioner Forman
today telegraphed all stamp agents to
settle only on the basis of the increased
rate of 71/; cents per barrel, and it is ex-
pected that these instructions will ap-
ply to all cases where the stamps were
not actually affixed to the packages be-
fore the new rate became operative. No
figures as to the amount 0f cigarette
stamps disposed of have yet been re-
ceived, but it is believed that the sales
have been abnormally large. As the rate
of tax on cigarettes, speaking general-
ly, was increased 100 per cent, or from
50 cents per $1,000 to $1,.the inducements
to tobacco manufacturers to lay in a
large supply were even greater than in
the case of the brewers.
For a. Rioter’s Life.
Chicago, July 27.—-Mrs. Mary G. Jones
of California, who is known in labor cir-
cles as “the mother of the American
Railway union,” is in the city on her

penalty for certain acts performed dur-
ing the labor riots in California in 1889.

acter was given by Rev. William H.
Pierson.

great excitement in the audience, who
applauded so vigorously that, the pres-
ident threatened to clear the gallery.

Philadelphia, July 26.—Gustav Hin-

' THE KAISER’S. SETBACK.
English Comment on the Vote on tho‘
. Law of ASsociations Bill.
London, July 27.—The English‘news-
papers devote a good deal of space to
the situation in Germany and record,
with thinly disguised satisfaction, the
defeat of the emperor on Saturday in
the Prussian diet over the law of asso-
ciations bill.
The Globe says: “The struggle in
which Emperor Vv’illiam has just been
defeated is a conflict between himself
and his people. It is to be wished rath-
er than coniidently anticipated that he
may have the wisdom to accept his
discomfiture with dignity and good tem-
per.”
The Pall Mall Gazette says: “The vote
is a significant rebuff, but Frederick
the Great always had. his way, and Wil-
liam the Greatest must not lag behind.
The little facts that there is no Fred-'
erick the Great now, that universal suf-
frage exists in Germany and Prussia,
and that people will talk nowadays,
don’t count.”
The Westminster Gazette says: “The
kaiser has had a very nasty check in
his own country. It is a strong protest
against the attempt to place power in
the hands of oificialdom at the expense
of civil liberty.”
The St. James Gazette says: “The
Germans will stand a good deal of dra-
gooning, but there are limits. They
won’t be treated like Russians and
Turks.”

London, July 27.—-The Standard pub-
lishes a long account of the conference
between Mr. Chamberlain, the colonial
secretary, and the colonial premiers
and announces the abandonment of the
Pacific cable scheme. The St. James
Gazette comments as follows: “The
substance of the whole thing is that the
colonial office and the colonial premiers
have decided to leave matters about as
they were.”
No Pardon For Mrs. Maybrick.
Washington, July 27.—The British
government has again declined to in-
terfere in the execution of the sentence
of Mrs. ~Florence Maybrick on the
ground that there is no reason for a
change of judgment in the matter. The
last effort to secure at least an amelio-
ration in the conditions of her confine-
ment was made by Embassador Hay,
who had some correspondence on the
subject with the foreign office.
Consumptives In Southwest.
El Paso, Tex., July 27.—There is a
growing‘ sentiment against consump-
tives flocking to the southwest, and the
desire for sanitary measures against

gaining ground. Thousands of con-
sumptives from the north and east
come to the mild and dry climate of the
southwest every winter, and since their
disease is known to be infectious the
people are in dread of it.
