"Hitherto the idea has been that it was impossible to manufacture tin-plat- o in America, owing to the atmos-pheric conditions, but e makers who accompanied the iron and steel institute delegates to America, reported that there is nothing but want of skilled labor to prevent the manufacture of tin-pla-in America."

THE COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS - At El Pa.o I Hot ll.cause Ilia Frauds Hare fireu Exposed. The wrath of the colleotor of customs at El Paso, Texas, on account of tha charges of fraud and evasions of tha customs duties on Mexican lead, dis-covered by the Utah Ore Pro- - J ducers' association given in tha telegraph column of Tub Times to-day were shown to Judge Bennett, who has been acting as attorney for tha Utah association in the matter. It but a moment for that gentle-man to show how utterly valueless were the denials of Colonel Clark, when . looked upon as evidence. It is true that the cars run into the United Status on a manifest and the numbers checked by an inspector, but it is also true that they have been run back into Mexico airain and the ore contents doctored. The official sam-ples for assay are often taken from tho ears by a Mexican greaser who can and docs salt the sample. There are a hun-dred loopholes for the evasion of tha duty, and the evidence secured by tho ore producer's association of this territory and now in the hands of the treasury depart-ment would indicate that Colonel Clark is dead onto all of thorn. Judge Bennett said that there was enough ev-idence against those custom officers down there to send thera all to the pen-itentiary. A Hnltlmore Attornment. Baltimore, June 29.

Tho assets will aggregate $050,000. A number of banks in this cityolfered to help the firm over its troubles, but it was thought best to take the step which culminated in the assignment The trustees state that the linn is forced to take this step ou account of the recent failure of Soloman Straus, a son of one and a brother of the otherand of Samuel Barth & Co. Straus Brothers & Co. were endorsers either as a firm or individually, of tho paper of Solomon Straus and Barth & Co., to the extent of $200,000. The matter is really not an assignment in what is generally understood by that term. It only means to assist the linn in liqui-dating its affairs aud paying its credit-ors in full.
