Ringing with manifest destiny
throughout is the paper furnished by
General Thomas Jordan to the
Forum on this subject. The writer
reminds US that since, the foundation
OF our government there never has
been an acquisition Of territory to
the United States that was not
ffaught with immediate commercial
advantage. Among The last public
utterances of that far sighted states-
man 10 whom we owe the acquisition
of Louisiana, Thomas Jefferson, was
this: The addition of the island of
Cuba to our confederacy is exactly
what is wanted TO round our power
Has a nation to the pointof It's utmost
interest"
I The United States already con.
sunles much the largest part Of all
that Cuba produces for expectation,
notably sugar. Moreover, excepting
only Great Britain and France, this
island, with a smaller area than the
State of New York, furnishes more
of our foreign imports than any
other country. That, too, although
scarcely Is per cent. OF the generous
soil Of Cuba has as yet been brought
under cultivation. The grinding
colonial policy Of Spain has been 10
squeeze this rich island for revenues
till there is little encouragement for
the development Of her magnificent
resources. But once this glorious
island was oar own, with all the
money it produces flowing to us in
stead of going to Europe, and with
ten times as much added to it, the
United States would be in very
truth the richest nation Of modern
times.
General Jordan speaks of the
great and varied mineral wealth
awaiting the tonch Of, industry here.
He is satisfied that Cuba has gold
field. She has also copper. lead,
iron, asphalt and petroleum. OF
the geographical and political neees.
sitv that exists for making Cnba
ours General Jordan writes:
aCuba so nearly touches our
shores and is SO manifestly Of our
own geographical system that no
American statesman may leave its
immediate future out OF his earnest,
ifEnot anxious, consideration. Any
maritime power that should occupy
it could readily make q mare
cIausum of the Gulf Of Mexico, for
Cape San Antonio, its westera eks
tremify, is separated from Cape Ca
toche, on the coast of Yucatau, by
little more than 100 miles of sea-.
way, while Cape Hicacos is only 100
miles distant from Florida, the
larger part Of the distance being
HlIed By the Bahama banks and
islets. Thus. maniiestlY. this gree t
island dominates not only the Gulf
Of Mexico, but all the approaches

to the track of our commerce by
water with Mexico. and, what is Of
still greaterimportance, to the trade

superinto ndent Garden xpfaiHs the Source
otth6 Rctcnt Troable.
A feporterhad ataik with Mr.. John
Garden, Secretary Of the Wheeling EIec-
trical Company yesterday, concerning
the condition Of aiairs at the Electrical
Company's plant. He said that the
stories Of long delays that could have
been avoided are unfair and unkind.
The company has had phenomenally
bad luck this spring. First, the power
house was removed from the old site.
That took time and caused Q shortage OF
power for several weeks. When the en-
zines we're piaced upon new foundations
and were IN what seemed to be the best
shape, one Of them broke down without
the slightest warning. That engine had
been thoroughly repaired and was In as
GOOD condition as possible when the
break occurred. When It gave way,
there was another engine connected
with it inysucha way that the strain OF
the breaking engine strained the other
one, and in o few days the second one
gave way. These misfortunes followed
each other in rapid succession without
apparent cause. Everything seemed to
20 wrong, no matter how great care
was exercised. About the time the
power plant was gotten into shape again,
the wires began to give trouble. Wires
would break at. the most inopportune
times and under the most annoying cir
cumstances Just before the rain on
Tuesdaynight q wire broke on the main
street bridge. Men were put to work
brasingit, but the rain came on and the
work had to be put off whole day.
Complaints were made about that job
not being repaired promptly, but the
company was doing the:best it could.
- CONCERNING the loose wires, Mr.. Gar
den said: 'TIhe exPan5t0n IN hot
weather lengthens them, and the slack
has to be taken up. When cold weather
comes again, the contraction shortens
them, and they must be adjusted again.
We have q lot Of men at work now TAX
ing up the slack, and hope to have
everything right soon.
fPeopie will complain Of the cars be-
ing stopped half an hour at time,
Wien, In fact, they are not at o stand
still more than o few minutes. To have
die cars stopped annoys no one more
than the people who manage the plant
We are always anxious to keep the wires
charged and do the best that can be
9TH ere has been some talk among
people who do not know about the
trolley wires being worn out. These
wires are made Of hardened copper and
will be in good condition for FIVE years
vet, at least. Wires will break some
times, even If they are new, and the
fact that wires are down in Wheeling
once in o while has no bearing upon the
condition OF the lines.
1--WE are doing al in our power to get
matters into shape, and II our luck ever
changes, we will be all right again"

Although the conditions Of trade in
every branch OF glass manufacture lack
the animation that should attend 1t at
this time in the season, there has been
n moderately increased demand within
the past week for goods in some INES,
caused probably by the desire to have
special orders completed to meet re
ouirements which might occur during
tfe summer shut down, though there
are goods in most of the regular staple
lines in ample stock at nearly all the

The reopenng of the foreign markets had the
effect that might naturally have been expected.
The advance that was scored yesterday was
promptly filed with stocks, and before the first
hour was ended to-day the reason for the advance

that. Europe had any stocks to SELL for its specu-

other holders of stocks. who do not have to de-
pend even on cable communication, were sellers.
Realizations were natural on an advance of about
. per cent but the reaction was not more than
l2 per cent 1t is worthy of notice, perhaps, that
st. Paul. and Chicago Burlington and Quincy
held the first places. Both stocks opened
strong and closed at practically their
lowest points, with decline OF l-2 per
cent. Rumors of important developments in the
railroad situation were not verified but settle
