Colonel George R. Davis, the we'll
known Republican politician and Treasurer of
Cook county, Ills, passed through last night
on his way home to Chicago from New York.
Colonel Davis said that the annexation within
the city of the suburban townships surround
ing Chicago would bring I'D .he population to
q round million. The political effect of annex
alton would result in increasing the Republi-
can majority in Presidential year by
l,500. and in local elections by about 5000.
Representative Joe Cannon, he said, was as
likely to be elected Speaker of the next House
as any other candidate. Joe Cannon's knowl-
edge Of parliamentary procedure was pro-
found, and he possesses calm, evenly balanced
and judicial mind, which admirably qualities
him for the office. He would be the choice OF
all the Western men and goodly proportion
of New Workers. Apart from personal consid-
erations, his occupancy OF the Chair would be
of more advantage co the Republican party
than IL either Mckinley or Reed were
there. Mckinley was cut out by his
knowledge of affairs and business qualifications
for Chairman of the Committee Of Ways and
Means, and in no other position could Tom
Reed better serve the interests Of his party
than in his old position on the floor. He pos
sessed the qualities Of a leader, was skilled in
the conduct of business, and it would be ex-
would fill the bill SO we'll Colonel Davis said
that he felt assured the Worlds Fair would
be held in his city. They possessed advantages
that other cities had not and besides it was but
bition of importance, since other large cities
had had their opportunities in that direction.

ern Land and Improvement Company, has been
offered the management OF the new Chaleroi

sidering the proposition. Mr.. Alexander built
Jeanette, and to say this is enough. No better
compliment to his ability can be paid. he has
built more than one town, and bids fair to build
many more, Chaleroi among the number. Mr..
Alexander said yesterday that the site selected
opposite Bellevernon for the glass works and
new town is the finest he has yet seen. He re-
grets that the big item crept out through the
columns of The DISPATCH a little ahead of
time, as the company was forced to pay more
for certain pieces of property.

Peecham, Of Roanoke, Va, General Manager

crow about extensive additions to the Clarke
mills. Mr. Witherow verified the statement

being put into iron speculations as was gener-
ally supposed, and estimated its proportion
