A Better Process Discovered— Erection

of a Government Plant Must Also Be

Considcred-^Amerlcan Goods PoorlyPacked—Disappearance of the NavajoBlanket—Depew and Hemphill.

W a s h in g t o n , - Jan. 1 1 .—[SpeCidi.j—

Another big contest will be fought in this congress over the subject of armor

plate for the battleships. This contest came very near defeating the naval

appropriation bill at the close o f tbe

last congress, and it was not until the morning of tbe„ 4th of March that a compromise was reached which the

conferees of the two houses accepted. This compromise did not, as it proved, provide armor for the battleships. The

two steel concerns capable of making

armor refused to accept the price fix­ed, and the navy department did not have authority to procure the armor at a higher figure. Then It was prot posed that an effort should be made by the government to establish its own armor plate factory, as it now haa its own gun shops nnd navy yards. While preliminary steps looking to this action were taken nothing definite was done beyond receiving communications, In­vestigating sites and making estimates aq to tt^e cost of such a plant, Now the price of armor Is higher than It was before, owing to the general ad­vance In prices. Another and better process for the manufacture of armor ha^ b&3'^r6lljttfl, and the contest. In­stead Of oeing over the price orhrmor which now protects the battleships, to­gether, with the advisability of estab­lishing a government plant, will have added the question of a new kind of armor. Injected into the government plant proposition Is a very interesting contest for the location of such a fac­tory. Every iron producing region Is a candidate for the location of the plant. I f the government should decide to make Its own armor plate, then would follow a vigorous c^tentlon among the cities which claim to have facilities for manufacturing the plate.

S h o u ld l'ttclc G ood* B e tte r ,

Consul General John Goodnow of Shanghai, in a import to the state de­partment, has Called attention to the flTct that American- mnde goods sent to China'are badly packed and that mer­chants aud manufacturers often never receive a second order because the goods have been damaged by this fail­ure on the part of the shipper. It not only hurts tlie man making the ship­ment, but American trade as a whole. It would seem that Americans who are seeklug a foreign market have a great deal to learn in this regard. While in a large toyshop In London last fall the proprlefeorLcalled my attention to one very large ro(Tnv-4 iud said: “That all came from your coulrtry. Your people are beating the .Germans In the, manu­facture of hiany articles, especially for children.’^ He pointed out toy bedroom sets, parlor and kitchen furniture and playthings of the sort that have always delighted American children. Some of these articles were being unpacked, and many of them had to be seftt to the re­pair shop. “ I do not undetstand/' con­tinued the merrlmut, “why your people will not pack their goods better. They make superior goods and sell cheaper than the Germans, but the condition in which they are received here is very discouraging to continuance of trade.

I \(e ship goods to all parts of the eqrth dtid p ick them to carry without Injury. Your people would do w*U to acquire

the same proficiency.’*

Hnyoift ma^Uet*.Several western congressmen have

ln^'tbelr possession some gadulne Na- vhj(£ blankets,’ and some arthy officers are llkowlse fortunate In possessing an article that haa about disappeared. If

, known that sUch alleged blankets are now on sale, but men from the

i wpst tell me that such 4 thing as a Navajo blanket made of the yarn spun by the squaws of tho tribe and dyed

Is becoming a ihing of the past. It cost* $75 and up­ward; and lt is worth It as a curioalty 9nly. r i t wap not many years since M t a buffalo codt'could b® bought for

^THE FACTORY SITE MATTER

Not Yet Definitely Settled—Proposi­tion Hinges on Land G ran t by

Ocean Grove Association.The members of the factory committee of

tho board of trade are stUl hopeful of loca t- Ing the plant of the Symphonlon Manufac­turing company In this city and are work­ing with that end in view. The present de lay is due to a desire to1 ascertain what the Ocean Grove association will do In the mat­ter.

When th6 case was first taken up for con­sideration the committee called upon Mr. Bradley and laid the subject before him. He gave it his consideration and decided that it was a good thing for the town. Ac­cordingly he made a liberal contribution of land In the vicinity of the proposed factory site. Messrs. Appleby and Wlnsor were then visited and they responded with a do­nation of land to hefp along the scheme. This gave the committee ground to work on and they then appealed to the associa­tion for a grant of land near the Steiner plant for the proposed factory site.

At the annual meeting of the association held recently this request was refused, but the matter was referred to the real estate committee of the association, with power to act. It was then stated that the appllca* tion had been refused foi* two reasons, first, because the amount of land given by Messrs. Wlnsor and Appleby was not in proportion with what was -asked of the as­sociation, and second, that the association was not entirely satisfied with the financial status of the cohipany.

The committee then decided to endeavor to overcome these obstacles.' Another In­terview was held with Messrs. Wlnsor and Appleby, and the matter was laid before them, resulting In their donating four more lots than they had at first decided to, give. This was considered very liberal on their parfrand was said to be satisfactory to the association. Henry Stelnbach, a member of the factory committee, then made a very thorough investigation of tbe financial con­dition of the cofepany, with the result that a moat flattering report was made. These facts were communicated to the association committee, together with the request that; they decide at once upon the application be fore them, but up until yesterday no reply had been received.

Mr. Gratz, t|ie president of the Sym­phonlon company, Is said’to be a very lib­eral and fair minded man. He has met the committee half way on every fair proposi­tion and Is very desirous of locating ber^ Other towns are after the enterprise, how­ever, and the company has placed a time limit upon the local committee. I t is be­lieved that tlie association will contribute the land desired, but the delay Is detrimen­tal to the committee In their negotiations. These gentlemen have done everything In their power and If the scheme falls It will be through no fault of theirs.

Passengers Returning From La Gloria

Claim tho Place/ls^a “ Virgin-Wild­

erness,” and Tlijjr the Colonists Are

Threatened W ith Starvation and Tor­tured by Mosquitoes.

For several days rumora have been cir­culated to the effect that tbe new town of La Gloria, In Cuba, did nol measure up to the expectations of the colonists who re­cently went there from New York. On the steamer Ollnda, which reached New York yesterday, were two passengers, Robert Hall, a business man of St. Joseph, Mo., and J\. A. Betancourt, whose stories, as given in the Mall and Express, were to the effect “that men, women and children are threatened with starvation and are tor tured by mosquitoes in a swampy district, where they are located In tents. The colon­ists told Mr. Hall, he says, that they were induced to go there from the United States by a New York company on representa­tions that have not proved correct. Most of them have spent all their money, and are appealing for aid to reach the states again. The ground is virgin forest, and some colon­ists alleged that the company had only an option on It. ’

ThlB morning’s Herald prints a lengthy cable account confirming the stories of the above named gentlemen. The Herald says that their investigations some time ago re­sulted In much uncertainty as to the abil Ity of the company to carry out Its prom-

es..The colonists are said to be holding indig­

nation meetings over the matter. The Yar­mouth excursionists say they wore told be­fore leaving New York that everything was ready for them, but they are living In tents without floors. Transportation facilities are reported as meagre and provisions scarce. La Gloria is five miles inland from Viara. As there are no teams the distance haa to be walked. Tha first half mile Is said to be over corduroy road loosened by rains. Then comes two miles of opep, grassy plain, over the entire extent of which there Is said to be from 6 to 12 inches of water. The remainder was through a wide cut In the woods, where the ground was covered with one foot of water and tho foothold was 6n branches and trunks of trees recently felled. | SZZZ • ;2[Owlng to the rains the transportation of the colonists1 baggageistored at the landing is impossible. So far there has been no sickness ilor deathB, but the colonists suffer from exhaustion.

T ie question that Is uppermost In the colonists’ minds Is that regarding the valid Ity of the company’s title and the allot­ments to subscribers. Tbe company claimed that it owns 40,000 acres. The land registra­tion olflce at Pnetbo Principe shows they only have 10,400 acres. They have optionson~other landB^____

Bernabe Sanchez, said to be the largest and richest planter in Puerto Principe, told the Herald correspondent that the land company In question is in arrears to the amount of 15,000, due for the La Gloria property, and says that under the Spanish law title may revert without foreclosure under suoh circumstances.

At the New York offices of the Cuban Land and Steamship company the stories of the returning passengers are discredited. The treasurer claims to have letters show­ing that the colonists are pleased with the land in Cuba, but he admitted he has never been to see the new town. He says supplies ate being regularly sent.

As a number of Asbury Park and Ocean Grove people have already sailed for La Gloria and othera contemplate doing so this week, the above stories have created considerable local interest.

THE CENTURY QUESTION

Oarpenterb* Union'Discussed W h ich One We Are L iv ing In —How

They Decided.Last night a score or more members of

the local Carpenters' and Joiners’ union wrestled with the much discussed question, “What Are We In—the Nineteenth or the Twentieth Century? ”

The leader on the affirmative side* was J. Bassett, while the negative forces were led by Henry P. Gant, '

Neither side appeared anxious to advance their arguments, and Chairman Yetman bad to urge the participants to start the de­bate.

There is no doubt In the mind of E. D. Darling that we are now living In the twen tieth century. He claimed it waa ridicu­lous to argue any other way. The merry smile that overspread tbe countenances of bis fellow mechanics showed they evidently did not believe the same way. Then Mr, Darling proceeded to read some history about the fifth and sixth centuries which he claimed would enlighten the doubters, but they were not so easily convinced. Mr. Darling said It was no use to be led by a French cad and sensational newspaper's in the matter, and said that while he had doubts about-the question at one time, they had all disappeared and he was satisfied we were now living In the twentieth century.

William Hulsbart and W. R. Hill ad­vanced Rood arguments to show that they, bfilleve we are still in the nineteenth cen­tury.. Then Mr. Bassett took a few minutes to show that the arithmetic he studied at school years ago failed to teach him how a century was made up of 99 years. That put the opposition to thinking, but still they held out that they were right. Mr. Bassett read the definition of a century, viz, “A period of 100 years, reckoning from any starting point.”

Arguing further to support the negative, Mr. Darling instanced tbe fact that last night ended at midnight, and then a new day commenced, but he failed to see that the twentieth century could not begin until the present century is completed, at the end of the present year.

Mr. Gant offered no argument, because he believes we are not yet In the twentieth century. The vote taken to decide the question showed that five men in the room thought this is the nineteenth century, while eight stuck to it that It is the twen­tieth. Five other members in the room did not vote either way. It Is likely they would have , voted with the, nineteenth century men had they expressed themselves.

At the meeting of the union tomorrow night a topic for the discussion next Wed­nesday night will be selected. Questions of local Interest and of Importance to the la­boring man will be selected, so that the members can more easily express them­selves.

Cabinet May Be Reorganized. London, Thursday.—It now seems to be

accepted that the cabinet will be reorgan­ized In the near future. There Is strong de­mand for Lord Roseberry to take the helm, but Roseberry Is said to have no de­sire to join any coalition ministry. The Chamberlain organs are trying to blame Balfour for the present troubles, the lat- ter’s ineffective defense of the government’s conduct of the war having furnished the opportunity. However, the storm, which is likely to burst over the head of Chamber- lain, Is only deferred and can only be avert­ed by some big and decisive victory in South Africa.

Red Bank’s lilg h tlne Contract.'The commissioners of Red Bank have

given a live-year contract to the Shore Electric company to illuminate their streets. They will pay *80 per year for oach arc light and 118 for each incandescent light. In return for the concession of agreeing not to give a franchise to any other company dur- lng the next five yoars the company will allow the town a rebate of 5 per cent, from the above prices and will also allow the same rebate to private consumers. Tho re­bate, it is said, will lie equal to a franchise tax of 5 per cent, during tho life of the con­tract. The town will get $200 reb:ite per year, while the rebate to private consum­ers will be as much more. At tho expira­tion of 'the new contract, which goes into force next month, the town may buy the plant if it so desires. Red Bank has been paying $7,800 per year forlighta.

Mn-nUfl, Jan. 11.—Imports from the 'movements of tin* American commanders south iif,Manila show that Uenerul Bates nnd General Wheaton are at Perez das Marinas and General Sell wan at Silaug, all awaiting the arrival of provision wag­ons. Ueconnoissaneos have shown that 2,000 armed insurgents have retired to the mountains from the district between Xndang and Maig and* that others have retreated along the coast from Novaleta toward Bu tongas.

Nolan’s squadron of the Eleventh cav­alry drove a body of insurgents from Maig. One American was killed and two wounded. Thirteen dead Filipinos were found.

The movement largely resembles Gen­eral Schwan’s experience in the same country, except that the towns are now being garrisoned aud that'the insurgents refuse to fight, retreating southward and dividing into small bands, with the ap» parent intention of reassembling later. The plan of catching a large number be­tween two brigades has failed. About 100 Insurgents have been killed, but compar-

. atirely few arms have been taken.'The region is full of amigos, who

doubtless have been bearing arms which they have hidden. The women and chil­dren remain in their homes, and the in­surgents as they fall back release all pris­oners they have ruptured.

Homblnii's port has been opened to commerce.

London, Jan. 11.—The chief item of news thU morning is that Generals Rob­erts aud Kitchener have reached Cape Town.

Until the new commander in chief has formulated a new plan.of campaign aud a new system of tactics, and until sub­stantial re-enforcements arrive, news is likely to be conspicuous by its absence, as it is lint expected that any great prog­ress will be made.

A report was current in the city yester­day that General Hector Macdonald, when he arrives, will take over the com­mand of the Modder Ilivcr column, re­lieving General Methuen, who, it is said, has had serious disagreements with offi­cers under him.

It is known that' General Whuohope protested against the fatal night march, but without avail, and it is said that the colonel of one of the battalions was sent back to Cape Town because he and,Gen­eral .Methuen disagreed as Jo_Urn advisa­bility of u certain strategic move*

The British generals are at a standstill because of faulty strategy M in d because the forces on the spot are inadequate, aud neither defect can be remedied at once.

D lM u n te r to S u f fo lk R e g im e n t . .

Fuller details of the disaster to the Suffolk regiment do not improve the orig­inal story. We now hear nothing of the enemy giving the order to retire. The men seem to have been led up against a strong Boor position and to have been un­able to effect anything in the face of a heavy lire, whereupon two companies re­treated and the third was captured.

Again it is the same story as Storm- berg aud Magersfontein.

It is not likely that any great move will be mnde nn the British side until Lord Roberts has considered the whole posi­tion and given the generals under him in­structions.

General Buller might, if his prepara­tions had been complete, have attacked on Saturday when Ladysmith was as­sailed or on the following Sunday with­out giving any ground for the suggestion that he wished to bring off a/coup before the .arrival <;f the new /.commander iu chief. But he could not have fought yes­terday or Monday without Jeavhig him­self open to that imputation.

The Daily Telegraph publishes the fol­lowing dispatch, dated Jan. 8, from its special correspondent at Frere Camp:

‘“Firing from the Boer positions around Ladysmith beguu early today aud still continues, but the cannonading is light and irregular. Our naval guns at Chieve- ley scut three shells again this morning into the Colcnso lines.”

B u l l c r ’H L a te n i: R e p o r t ,

The war office announces that the list of British casualties at Ladysmith last Saturday has not yet been received.

The following dispatch, dated at Frere Camp Wednesday noon, has been receiv­ed from General Buller:1 “A Transvaal telegram gives the ene­my’s loss at Ladysmith on Saturday as 4 killed and 15 wounded, and this after, as is admitted, they had endured a wither­ing fire from six masked batteries and been defeated at all points.

‘'Natives here assert that the Boer loss in one commando alone was loO killed and wagon loads of wounded. The heav­iest loss is said to have been among the Free .Staters, who were forced by the Trnnsvaalers into the most dangerous places.”

This strange dispatch is all the war of­fice has issued tonight. It makes not the slightest mention of the position or do­ings of the British forces. It may be in­terpreted to mean that Ladysmith is safe, but it is more likely intended t» pre­pare the British public for a terrible list of casualties.

General Wood to Pardon Prisoner*.

Havana, Jan. 11.—Before the end of the week General Wood probably will have issued pardons to about 200 persons now confined in the Havana prisons who have served terms longer than the board of prison investigation considers either just or necessary. Many of these have never been put on trial at all. Some have been awaiting trial for periods longer thau the maximum penalty of imprison­ment that could have been imnosei] had they been found guilty of the charges against them. Probably the 200 are not u fourth of the number similarly treated.

BRITISH CABINET MENACED.

Govern men t May Have to Sacrifice Some One to Remain In Ofllce.

London. Jan. 11.—The plight of British arms in South Africa is overshadowed foi the present by the storm which is burst­ing over the head of the home govern­ment. The Manchester speeches of Mr. A. .T. Balfour, the government lender in the house of commons, have loosed such a torrent of criticism from the press and individuals of his own party that were parliament to reassemble today it is doubtful whether the Conservative? would retain power, iu spite of their tre­mendous majority in the'last session. The pent up dissatisfaction with the govern­ment's lack of energy iu waging the war is no longer concealed.

"When such ardent ConserVntivejpapers as The Times and Globe come out’boldly with reproof, there is 110 knowing"where the agitation will end. The provincial press has already taken up the cry.

For the moment Mr. Balfour is the scapegoat, but there is a terrible rod in pickle for the .Marquis of Lansdowne. while Lord' Salisbury and other cabinet ministers will not escape unless a wonder­ful change conies over the war situation.

It is learned that the Conservative leaders privately admit the gravity of their position, but fail to see what can be done. Meanwhile they hope that suc­cesses in the field will abate the popular clamor.

Some Conservative papers go so far as to regret the extreme age of the cabinet ministers and refer to the cabinet as a body of patriarchs. M

Under these circumstances it is doubt­ful whether events transpiring between now and the reassembling of parliament will bo powerful enough to restore confi­dence in the government nnd maintain its majority.

There is the important alternative that Lord Lansdowne or Lord Wolseley may be sacrificed. It is asserted that Lord Wolseley not only disapproved of Lord Roberts' appointment to the chief com­mand of tin* British troops in South Af­rica, but allowed his disapproval to be generally known, while it is a fact that he knew nothing of the government’s in­tentions in this respect until he saw the announcement of the appointment iu the newspapers.

In olden times people used to wrap newspapers around their bod­ies to keep warm. Have you seen the modern flannel-lined

Arctic Paper Vest ?

The Value of paper in keeping out cold and damp­ness has bfeen long known. Paper is used by builders under the weather boarding and shingles of houses as a protection against sudden changes in temperature and the blasts of winter. The housewife puts paper lining or layers of newspapers under the carpets to make the floor warmer, paper or pasteboard sheathing is used on furnace pipes as a non-conductor to keep in the heat and keep out the cold.

Paper is as gppd a protection for the human body as it is for a house; a floor or a furnace pipe—a fact that is recognized by physicians everywhere.

This Paper Vest can be manufactured so cheaply as to place it within the reach of the poorest, and it is, at the same time, agreeable to the most fastidious, since it is non-absorbent: of odors. It is a perfect-fitting gar­ment, and with ordinary carey will last an entire winter.In appearance it resembles chamois or buckskin. The garments are lined with flannelet, and securely bound with cottorrTape. They are to be worn over the ordin­ary underwear or under the outside coat, and give great additional warmth, with but few ounces of extra weight. These garments enable a person to dress warmer and lighter, and to keep the body at a more even temperature, than any other clothing that can be worn.

Any one with weak lungs or who is exposed to changeable or severe weather, orfwlio finds it difficult to keep warm and comfortable with ordinary clothing, should try our inexpensive Paper Vest. “ An ounce of prevention is worth a poun.d of cure.” Fiity cents spent for one of our Paper Vests may save a fifty dollar doctor bill

Factory Prices for Pianos.

The smooth argument of “factory prices” is indulged in in all trades. Probably more often in the Piano trade than any other, for many small dealers use it continually. “Factory price” is the price at which goods are sold in large quantities at the factory— the expression can only be used in this sense. It

does not include in Pianos any incidental charges for transportation, cartage, insurance, tuning, stool and cover, etc. To contend that goods are sold retail at wholesale prices is simply a very foolish fabrication.

Lowest retail price is possible only by the com­bination of buying large numbers and selling large numbers. Of course you can only buy in large num. bers where there is a large output, and I think we do not have to argue with you to prove that we can practice this economy better and on a larger scale than any other dealer on this coast.

The test: Go to any small agent’s store or room where he may have a few pianos stored, and find the price of a real piano there, if he has one, then compare his price with our price. This is all

we ask.

D an g e ri an d AdvaMtnarea—1T ell*H ow Standard O il W as Orffanlaed,

Washington, Jan. statement hasbeen received by the industrial commis­sion from John D. Rockefeller in answer to questions propounded by tho commis­sion.

"The first combination of different es­tablishments In the oil industry in which I was Interested,” Mr. Rockefeller says, “was the union of William Rockefeller & Co., Rockefeller & Andrews, Rockefeller & Co., 6 . V. Harkness and S. M. Flagler about the year 1807. The cause leading to its formation was the desire to unite our skill and capital in order to carry on a business of some magnitude and impor­tance in pjaee of the small bu&iness each sephrdtely had carried on. As .time elapsed and the possibilities of the busi­ness became apparent we found further capital to Im necessary, obtained the re­quired persons nnd capital and organized the Standard Oil company, with a capital of $1,000,000* Later we found more cap­ital could 1 e utilized and found persons with capital to interest themselves -with us and 1ncieased our capital to $3,600,- 000; As ti e business grew tbe markets were obtained at homo and abroad, more parsons ami capital were added to the business and new corporate agencies were obtained and organized, the object being always tho same, to extend our business by furnishing tho best and cheapest products.

The Standard and the R a ilro ads . "The Standard Oil company of Ohio, of

which I wis president, did receivo re­bates from railroads prior to 1880, but received no special advantages for which it did not give full compensation, The reason for rebates was that such was the railroads’ mothods of business. A publi* ratQ was made and collected by the ralj- road companies, but so far as my knowl­edge extends was never really retained in full. A portion of it was repaid to the shippers aa a rebate. Much depended upou whether the shipper had the advan­tage of competition of carriers. The Standard, being situated in Cleveland, had tho advantage of different carrying lines as well as of water transportation in summer nnd, taking advantage of those facilities, made the best bargains possible for its freights- For various rea-

. sons sufficient to the railroads it obtained contracts for special allowances on freights. Those never exceeded, to the best of my presont recollection, 10 per cent. But in almost every instance It was -discovered subsequently thnt our competitors had been obtaining as good •nd in some instances better rates of freight than ourselves,

“No percentage of the profits of the Standard came from ndvantagA-given by railroads at any time. Whatever advan­tage it received in Its constant efforts to reduce rates of freight was deducted from the price of oil. The advantages to the Standard from low freight rates con­sisted solely from the low price of its product. I know of no instance in which the Standard ever received from any railroad any Income for oil shipped over Its tracks by any of the Standard's com­petitors. It seems that some such ar­rangement of that nature was entered in­to by one of our agents in Ohio, but when notice of tliis agreement was brought to the office of the company for which it was it was promptly repudiated and the.

, money received—some small amount, I think under' $300—was refunded. And this was done not because of any action In court or judicial opinion, but promptly as soon as reported.

Reasons For Standard** Saoceas,“I ascribe the success of the Standard

to Its consistent policy to make the vol­ume of Its business largo through the merits and cheapness of its products. It has spared no vxpeuse in finding, secur­ing and utilizing the best and cheapest methods of manufacture^ It has sought for the best superintendents and work-

. men and paid the best wages. It has not hesitated to sacrifice old machinery and old plants for new and better ones. It has placed its manufactures at the point where they could supply markets at the least expense. It bus not only sought markets for its principal products, but, for all possible byproducts, sparing no expense In introducing them to the pub­lic.

“In my judgment the advantages from industrial combinations are the advan­tages which can be derived from co-op- eration of 'persons and aggregation ol capital: .-.Much tliqt one man cannot do alone two^can do. 3t is too late to argue about advantages, of Industrial combina­tions. They are * a necessity, and if ’Americans are to have the privilege of extending rtieir business in all the states of the Union and Into foreign countries aa well they are a necessity on a large scale and require the agency of more than one corporation. Their chief ad­vantages are command of necessarycapi­tal, exteSslon of limits of business, in­crease of numbor of persons interested In the business, economy in the business, improvements nnd economies which are

* derived from knowledge of many inter­ested persons t>f wide experience, power to give the public nn improved product at leas price and still make a ,profit for stockholders, permanent work and good wages for laborers. I speak_from my experience in the business, with which I have been intimately acquainted fot1 about 40 years. ^

-- -— D angers to the P ub lic .- “Xhe dangers are that the power con­ferred by combination may be abuBed, that combinations may be formed for Bpeculatlou in stock rather than for. con­ducting business and that for this pui> pose prices may ^temporarily raised in­stead of being lowered. Combination Is necessary* and its abuses can be mini­mized, otherwise our legislators must ac­knowledge their incapacityL;.to deal with the most important instrument of indus­try. ..Hitherto most legislative attempts have been an effort not to control, but to (Mptroy. Hence their futility. L^Regarding industrial combinations, I wBuld suggest federal legislation under Jyhjch corporations may he created and ffiguiatod if thqt_ bo possible. In lieu th#reof stato fegfslatlon es nearly uni- roira as possible encouraging comblna- Uottl of persons and capital for the pur* jpQS* of carrying on Ipduatrios, but per- ffliraog state supervision, not of d char-

*° hamper industries, but sufficient tfr.prtvent frauds upon the public,”

PEPPERED BY BULLETS.

Red D Liner’* Experience In Venein- elnn Wntera.

New York, Jan. Tl.-r-The Red D steam­er A. U. Thorpe, Captain Hansen, has arrived, and Steward John Olesen had the following story to tell of the sister ship .Maracaibo of the same line, which is making her maiden trip:

“We met the Maracaibo in the port of Curacao while on our way home. She is also nn her way home and is due to ar­rive here on Jan. 18. All of her lifeboats are riddled with bullets, and her super­structure was also struck'>5ntnumbL*r of times. She sustained this damage about two weeks ago in tbe harbor of Maracai­bo, Venezuela. General Hernandez, the insurgent, held the town, nnd General* Castro made up his mind to capture tho city.

“The harbor of Maracaibo is a small, crescent shaped body of water. Castro and'his gunboats, one of which was th*- Negro, started to shell the town. The Maracaibo was in the line of fire. Men, ami women took part in the fight both with the insurgents nnd with the attack­ing party. None of the heavy artillery wns aimed over the boat, but she was raked fore nnd aft by rifle firing. Two women and a man were killed on the pier to which the Maracaibo was tied. Sixty bullets in all struck the Maracaibo. One of t!u»m struck a port and went through, perforating a mattress. Another hit the iron deckhouse and rebounded, wounding Captain Hopkins in the hand. None of the crew was hurt, as they were ordered to keep below and Were only too glad to obey. The lifeboats will have to be replaced.”

.. A MyNterlouH Rnllrond.

Lewiston. Ida., Jan. 11.—The Pacific and Idaho Northern railroad, now being built from. Weiser in the southern part of the state north to Seven Devils, is the most mysterious piece of railroad build­ing iu the country. It begins nowhere nnd ends nowhere. Yet over 100 miles of the finest roadbed have been built, nnd cosh is paid for everything, and only the best material is purchased. No one knows who is furnishing the cash or why the road is being built. I t is believed, however, to be the Vanderbilt connecting link between the east and west. The Oregon Railway and Navigation compa­ny is to build 37 miles from Riparia to Lewiston, and eventually this piece of rood will connect the Oregon Railway and Navigation company with the Ore­gon Short line. This will innke it possi­ble to start a car at New York city and pull it to Portland, Or., on tracks owned by the Vanderbilts.

A Doer Wnrnhlp.Savannah, Jan. 11.—A special to The

Morning News from Atlanta states that Captain Charles II. Hill, now in that city, who was an officer on the Brazilian revolutionary cruiser Nictheroy, had re­ceived a letter from Lieutenant McDon­ald Craven, who was on the Nietheroy with hint, offering him command of a converted yaejit armed with two 4.5 inch guns which had been equipped by the Boer government to prey upon British commerce on the Atlantic coast. E. A. Steyn was named as the Transvaal agent, with headquarters in Savannah, who ‘had arranged for the expedition, which was to start from the Bahamas. Steyn went to Atlanta, it i*j|tated, to induce Hill to join the ex$fftion,Hill refused. ' Investigation in Savannah fails to disclose nny clew to Steyn or any one answering his description.--

Vanderbilt May Control New Ilaven.

New York, Jan. 11.—The Tribune says: “William IC. Vanderbilt, 011 his return from a two months’ cruise to Mediterra­nean points which he begun on his steam yacht Valiant on Monday, may complete another colossal achievement In railroad financiering, the first bteps of which it' was said last night were entered upon a few days before Mr. Vanderbilt sailed. A director of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railrood company Is be­lieved to have taken to New Haven and Boston on Saturday Inst an informal of? fer from Mr. Vanderbilt* which indicates that the New York, New • Haven nnd Hartford system* may become later a part of the New York Central system.”

AMERICAN FL OU R FREE,

An-Decision of British Cabinet nomiceil to Mr. Choate.

London, Jim. 11.—Premier Salisbury has notified Embassador .Choate that thi- government has decided that foodstuffs will not be deeinedjvcnfltniband of wht unless intended fo r^h ? enemy. Tlif Americnn Hour seized by the Hritish war­ships off South Africa ,w«a ordered re­leased. The premier cnilejJ on the embas­sador yestenlay aftenun^jT^o inform him that the British government bad come to a decision in answer In the* American pro­test that would lie satisfnete^. Soon after the preniieir left a nete wa.*f. eeeived at the embjussy in whieh England formal­ly conceded the poiut raised by the Unit­ed States.

It is intimated at the American embas­sy that Salisbury’s answer is satisfactory and that there is no probability of fur­ther corn plications over the Mashona. The details nf the answer are still un­known in London, but it is understood that while Salisbury is forced to concede that foodstuffs consigned to neutrals are not contraband he .reserves numerous rights whieh will doubtless enable him to stop attempts smuggle arms for the Boers into Delngoa llay.

Its general tone makes for a peace­ful solution of the trouble^

The Newfoundland FlNhery Dispute.

St. .John's, N. K„ Jan. 11.—The Corean brought dispatches from Mr. Chamber­lain to the effect that France had ex­pressed a desire for tbe repeal of the Newfoundland bait act in return for per­mitting mines and factories to be worked vui the tieat.v coast and also a desire for important territorial’ considerations as

mpenxntioti for withdrawing tbe fishery bounties to the Breton fishermen. To this Mr. Chamberlain has declined to agree, lie advises a renewal of the modus vi- vendi this? year, as the time is inoppor­tune for settling the matter, and better terms can be obtained by Great Britain later. ^
