THE EECALL OF TSUI
THE CHINESE MINISTER SUM
MONED HOME,
And Diplomatic Circles at Washington
Arm Greatly Excited In Consequence
fcfSenator Blair Is Held Illamable
An Interaational BuBipas.
Washington, D. C, Aug. 12. Diplo
matic circles are considerably agitated
over the announcement that Minister
Thui, the Chinese representative to thia
country, is about to be recalled, owing
to the Chinese Emperor's displeasure
at the prominence which the minister
took in the negotiation by which Count
Mitkiewics and other shady speculators
proposed to establish iltt international
bank in China which would absorb all
the railroads, telegraph lines, etc., of
the orient.
The proposed recall of the minister
comes so soon after China's rejection
of ex-Senator Blair as United States
minister to that country that the two
events are being linked together. Min
ister Tsui was mainly instrumental in
having Blair rejected, and nB a result
the friends of the ex-Senator have for
some time been longing to retaliate by
having the minister recalled The
State department officials have shared
this feeling to a considerable extent,
and as a result Mr. Tsui has had a hard
diplomatic lot since he had Blair de
posed. The opposition to him took form
a short time ago in recitals of
his connection with the Mitkiewics
bank bubble, which were forwarded to
the Chinese foreign ofllce. The recitals
amounted to charges of reckless par
ticipation in wildcat schemes with dis
reputable speculators.
While it is not known that the re
citals were sent by the State depart
ment or had other official sanction,
they at least had sufficient official
indorsement to secure recognition from
the Chinese foreign office and from the
Emperor himself. Under these cir
cumstances it is generally believed that
ex-Senator Blair had n hand in Mr.
Tsui's present complication nnd that
they were given active nl though not
official help from the State department.
It is understood that the Emperor
has directed an investigation Into the
Chinese hank scheme, which if pushed
may revive some of the interesting Va
garies which Count Mitkiewics laid
before Col. Elliott l Shcpard, Wharton
Baker, Minister Tsui and others. The
Chinese minister has been a great social
favorite here. His ball last winter
was one of the events of the social sea
son. He is to be seen nightly making
the rounds of Dupont circle, pushing
the baby carriage of his girl baby nnd
followed by a mob of women and chil
dren, who at times have to be re
strained by the police In their eager
ness to see a Chineso father and baby. '
Mr. Tsui has been one of the most
American of diplomats who have come
from China in recent years, and his
departure will be regretted except
among the friends of ex-Senator
Blair and among State department
officials.

Rockfokd, 111., Aug. 12. Schwein
furth is reticent about his proposed re
moval to Keokuk, and will not say
anything further than he has not de
cided to remove, and whether he is
contemplating doing so or not he inti
mates is his own business. One of the
apostles who has been to Iowa looking
over the ground has returned, however,
and is more communicative. He is
evidently somewhat discouraged, and
says the object of his mission had pre
ceded him, and everywhere there was
a marked objection to the establish
ment of Schweinfurth's headquarters
except by those who. wanted to sell
land. The people wherever he has
been have given him the cold shoulder.
If he should find a new location and
move his institution the people of this
section would not go into mourning.

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.
A Medical Library On a Xn Han A
ftot-el Electric ltdail.
St. Louis, Aug. 8. Librarians
in other cities would stare with
envy could they see the list of
books Which the public library will
carry Into its rteW quarters in the Poly
technic bulldirig, when it Is finished.
When the new library was first pro
posed, Librarian rVed M. Crunden had
an Idea by which he thought he could
get for the library the most complete
medical library In the. country. He
offered all the medical societies
of the cily the priviliges of the
library for their members on
condition .that they turned over to him
all their books to go into the cases ns
the property of the library. Each oi
the societies had an immense number
of valuable books, which W-ere poorly
cared for, and they jumped at this
chance, as Mr. Crunden thought they
would. Medical books are very costly,
as every young doctor who tries to buy
them knows, and the lot that Mr.
CrHnden has thusobtaincd could not be
duplicated for a hundred thousand
dollars.
The proposed belt line around Forest
Park is meeting with favor. The
board of public improvements has to
decide whether or not it shall be.and all
of the members of the body want it.
The only question is as to the company
that shall have the franchise. It Is
suggested, to dispose of that obstacle,
that the right to build the line be sold
by the city at auction. It would bring
several hundred thousand dollars, no
doubt There are plenty of electric
roads to the park, but it is so big, and
so much of it has purposely been left
as nature made it, that most of tl c
people who go out there never see one
third of it, and leave it, after a short
walk through the accessible parts of it
with a very wrong idea of its propor
tions. At present, only those who
drive through the park in vehicles un
derstand fully its beauty and extent,
and a bolt road around it would admit
everybody to this delightful knowledge.
The wheelmen of St Louis have just
originated two novel plans for making
the bicycle conspicuous in this city as
a vehicle that can be both picturesque
and useftil. There are over two thou
sand wheelmen here now, ana wncn
t they enter into ttny scheme unitedly
they make it go. To show that the
' wlleel can produce great spectacular
, fffccts' tt score ?r more of.!.b?Jrs
' laVe gpt Up a rocket corps which takes
long night rides On the smooth roads
around the city, the wheelmen dis-
. chanrinir Roman candles and rockets as
they go, a sort of flambeau battalion
on cycles. The line of wheels, as they
whirl down a long hill at full speed on
a moonlight night, each one sending
up to the heavens a stream of fire, is a
most dazzling sight. They parade
around the parks in this way, and dis
band at the club house. A militarj
organization the wheelmen have es
tablished is designed to show that the
wheel may be of use in time of war. In
the drill, the boys carry heavy loads,
nnd practise mounting and dismount
ing with their burdens.
The courageous wife of Ed. Noland,
the former treasurer of Missouri, who
has just gone to tho penitentiary for
embezzling State funds, is keeping a
boarding-house here and making a very
good living for herself and her twin
children. As soon as the State elec
tion is over a movement will be started
here to get Gov. Francis to pardon No
land, on the ground that he and his
family have already been punished
heavily enough for the crime.

Real Consnmers Tfero Not Injured.
The Tin Plate "Consumers"" associa
tion, an orgauization whose object.-, and
purposes we took occasion to expose
some time ago, has been more than or
dinarily active lately in its crusade
ngainst American industry. Seeing
some ch?nce for success in their nefari
ous occupation in the fact that a bill
lias been introduced Hi the House of
Ucprcscntativcs providing for the re
peal of the McKinlcy duty on tin plates,
Its members have taken advantage of
every opportunity to spread misleading
reports about the status of the tin-plate
industry in the United States. With
this object in view a circular was re
cently sent by the secretary of the
association to all the leading tin
plate consumers" of the coun
try, asking what effect the increased
duly had had on their business. It
was expected, of course, that the
answers reccired would be full of
statements that the prices 'of tin pails,
dinner cans and other articles used by
the real consumers, the people, were
higher, nnd that these nnswers would
then form admirable campaign litcra
aturc for the Free-Trade members of
Congress to use In the battle between
Protection and Prcc-Tradc. Hut, for
once, our friends, the importers, have
Dverstcpped themselves, as will be seen
from the following answers already rc
;eivcd and printed in a iccent issue of
the association's locnl organ.
EFFECT OF THE M'KlNI.EV DUTV.
Louisville, Ivy. It has decreased our
profits.
Indianapolis, Ind. To reduce our
profits.
Washington. The effect has been to
reduce our profit?.
Kaltimorc. A decrease in profits.
Haiti more. A great addition to the
cost of manufacture, which is mostly a
dead loss to us, ns prices are no better.
Philadelphia. To decrease profits.
Rochester. Increased cost of raw
material, with no advance for manu
factured goods.
New York City. To increase the
cost withont giving or enabling us to
get an increase in the selling price,
etc.
So we were right after all, when we !
claimed that the burden of the duty, if
any burden there would be, would fall
not on the real consumers of tin plate,
but on these so so-called "consumers,"
middlemen and importers, whose prof
its have largely been made by charging
a -I" ""-- s$

the highest possible prices, because
they feared no domestic competion.
Ileie, then, we find disclosed the real
animus of this association's at
tack on American industry. I'ut
we do not even believe
that there has been so great a burden
on these men who use tiu plate in their
business; for statistics show that prices
in country nave not advanced in any
proportion to the increase of duty,
Welsh manufacturers having- ljwercd
their selling prices tocnterour market.
Whatever increase there has been, how
ever, has resulted in lowering the
profits of the importers, and the work
ingman's tin dinner pail is no dearer.
Isn't it about time for the Tin PJatc
"Consumers'" Association to disband?
American Economist
Trouble In nn KuclUIi Colony.
The fact that the colonists of British
Guiana have sent a dispatch to Minister
Lincoln at London askin him to in
terest himself in behalf of relieving
them from oppressive colonial regula
tions, shows tnat even in that out of
the way section of South America the
United States is recognized as the
guardian of American rights. Of course
Minister Lincoln cannot officially in
terfere between Great Britain and her
subjects, hut the appeal thus made will
have the effect of attracting American
attention and sympathy toward our
fellow Americans broiling under the
hot snn of Guiana, and burdened by
oppressive exactions similar in char
acter, if not in form, to those which
provoked our own Revolution.
The Claimant's Statement.
The statement which Mr. Cleveland
made for publication when informed of
his nomination was characteristic in its
grotesque conceit It is marked by all
the pretentiousness of the most self
satisfied politician in America. "I am
confident," complacently announces
the claimant, "that our fellow coun
trymen are ready to receive with ap
proval tho principles of true Demo
oracy" thoso "prlnoiplo" helnt. of
conrw, thg- irilYOtiitod by Groyer
Cleveland and embodied in the Con
federate free trade plank of the Demo
cratic platform.
It is inconveivable in the claimant's
eyes that "there should be any lack of
harmony and active effort" in the ef
fort to hoist him once more into the
Presidential chair. Mr. Cleveland
cannot sec how any Democrat enn fail
to support him. His egotism is so in
tense that he makes this statement
bluntly, without the faintest idea that
he is making himself ridiculous before
the whole country. It is quite within
the bounds of possibility that those un
rivaled knife wielders, the members oi
tho II ill-Tain many organization in this
Stale, insulted, defeated and contempt

months prior to that date in 1S0I.
There is a strong ergument in thest
figures against repealing the tin plati
duty. The idea that there is any les
consumption of tin plate noxvthandur
ing 1890-!, I is untenable. It is certain
that the output of American tin plat
factories is beginning to have an ap
preciablc effect in supplying the mar

It is highly noteworthy as an cvi

noted xx-as only SJSO.riUl, 725. as against
5383,781,00.1 for the nine months prior
tc March 31, 1801. Among the more
important declines xvcre those in

to $24,8'"'2,G73: in iron and steel from

goods from S25. 131,073 to ?22,7G9.18.".:
and in chemicals from SI 2,03."., 133 to

evidence that the McKinlcy tariff is
xvorking practically and clearly to the
benefit of home industry.
Goln-r to the liravcyard.
The xvisdom of the Democratic con
vention in going back to the constitu
tion of the Sotithcry Confederacy for
inspiiation on tli3 tariff question is
fairly op.-n to question. The Confede
rate constitution is mighty good Demo
cratic nuthorily, we must admit, but
to go back to it from the present age
is a good deal like going to a gravc-
yard and digging up a skeleton to offer
as a model of anatoiiii. N. Y. Re

The Foor Western Farmer.
The free traders have been wasting
a great deal of sympathy on the poor '

ANOTHER M'KINLEY VICTORY. I
Cotton TIca Now Made Here Cheaper
Than Ever Before.
One more victory for protection and
the McKinley bill! When a heavier
duty xvas put on cotton tics made of
iron a cry xvent up that this meant,
ruin to the planters in the South. The
tariff previous to the passage of tho
McKinlcy act xvas-35 per cent, whit,
was the equivalent to from Sll to 512
per ton.
At the time the lowest price these
ties xvcre ever sold at was 2j cents per
pound. The duty under the pjjv law
was made $22.60 per ton, and yesterday
.Messrs. A. R. Whitney tCa announced
they are selling cotton ties, made of
steel, far superior to anv iron tie ever
imported, at 2 cents per pound.
To a Press reporter Mr. Whitney
said: "When the duty xvas almost
trebled they said we couldn't make
-otton tics in this country, and that we
would simply drive the planters to
ruin. As scon as the McKinley bill xvas
passed many plants have started, and
aoxv yon see the result There are
now 30,000 tons made here xvhich were
"ormerly imported, and the price is
toxver than it ever has been before.
"When cotton ties xvere entirely un
protected the price xvas as high ns six
:ents per pound. Under the 35 per cent
iuty it was two and one-half ccnts,and
noxv, under xvhat xvas called an excess
ive duty, the price is only txvo cents
per pound and a better article is pro
duced than ever before. So, instead
of ruining the Southern planters, this
part of the McKinley laxv has reduced
the cost to them of a necessity, estab
lished an American industry and given
employment to American xvorkmen."'

Quite true. The S3racnse kickers

it unt.
There is a twelve-year-old hoy in
Harlem, known to his friends as Char
lie, who, if he keeps on, will be a rail
road finnncler when he grows up. Like
all small boys Charlie is a base ball
fiend. About two weeks ago he or
ganized a club, had himself elected
treasurer, while a boon companion was
made captain. Then all of the thir
teen members went out to hustle funds
so they could purchase pretty uni
forms. The plan was a success and
fully 825 was realized.
At this point the financiering com
menced. A meeting of the club was
called and five of the boys deluded by
Charlie's statements that there would
he more money to divide if they voted
as he directed, gave their voice in fa
vor of expelling the other six mem
bers. This brought the club down to
seven.
Then a new combination was formed
consisting of the captain, treasurer
and two others, who were assured that
they were on the inside. It was four
to three, and the three had to go.
Of the four remaining, Charlie gave
one of the two a quarter to vote for
the expulsion of the other, and then
the treasurer and captain promptly
"fired" the traitor.
The club had now got down to two.
Charlie called a little meeting and said
to his companion: "You can't get a
cent, for every motion you make I'll
rote against, and it will he lost But
if you will resign I'll give vou a dol
lar." After mature consideration, the ca
