National Transportation Association.

CHICAGO. Ill, Aug 20.-The National
transportation association, composed of the
various boards of trade and commercial
bodies of the United States, completed a
two days session to-day The association
was organized last winter for the purpose
of protecting the shipping interests of the
country against the railroad corporations
and of securing better rates and
transportation facilities. Seventeen
commercial exchanges and freight
bureaus were represented. The
principal discuss on to-day was on uniform
bills of lading, about which there was such
4 bitter fight between the shippers and
railroads last year. when the latter were
defeated in their effort to force upon the
merchants an iron-clad, non-negotiable in
strumeut The shippers insist upon having
4 voice in the construction of Il bill of lading
designed for general use, and they have
recently agreed ON a form that does not
conflict with their interests. How best to
bring about the adoption of this form by the
railroads was the question under cOnsidera-
tion to-day. II was finally decided to APP
point Committee TO lay the
matter before the various traffic assO-
Citations i'll the hope that an amicable
agreement may be reached. The committee
as appointed consists of President Il. 5.
Grier of Peoria. Frank Barry of NliTneapo-
lis. c. \. Osgood of st. Louis, George NJ.
Lane of Detroit and William H. Young of
Baltimore. Another committee was
appointed TO draw up PROPOSE
ali through rates on the sums of the locals
via the lake ports The committee on recip-
rocal service was directed to issue printed
report for circulation among the members.

Gala Day at Clarksville.
Special to the Gazette.


GAINESVILLE, RED RIVER COUNTY,
TEX, Aug. 20.-Yesterday was a field day
here. it being the occasion of big barbecue
and Democratic rally. Several thousand
people were present, and all manifested
great interest in the speaking. which was
indeed interesting. The speakers were
Hon. D. s. Culberson, NJ. c.; Hon. jim
Clark, state senator from this district, and
W. A Shaw of Dallas.
Mr. Clark spoke first, and for an hour or
more ably discussed the political issues of
the day The principal part of his speech,
however. was in defense Of the alien land
law.
Next came Farmer Shaw with the fun
so characteristic of him. His speech was
full Of wise counsel as well as of wit 1t
was well received and had the applause
due it.
Then came ''Uncle Dave" who welded
the sword of argument as he is wont to do.
He gave it 10 the third party, who took
their medicine well. and then silently stole
away If Democracy had enough such
fearless defenders as Culberson, her power
would increase.
In the evening meeting of the Demo-
cratic executive committee was called by
A J. Martin, chairman, and thus ended the

Pushing Work on the New Ships


There is some very active work being done
on the ships for the new Navy now building
at the Cramps yard, in Philadelphia, accord
ing to the statements of Mr.. Nixon, one of
the assistants of that establishment, who was
at the Navy Department yesterday. He said:
"The first frame will probably be raised on
the triple screw-ship to-day if nothing unfore-
seen occurs. After that is up we are ready to
rush the others along in hurry. The most
expeditions work is being made on the armored
cruiser number two, the New York, 8,100
tons. She now has all the appearance of
ship, all her frames aud the greater part of
her planting being in place. She is getting
into such shape that we are looking forward
to date for getting her off the ways into the
water. Unless there are some faults In the
castings, or other such unavoidable delays.
she ought to be launched in four months. /
should say that one half of her hull work has
been done. The two battleships are, of
course, not SO far advanced. Their keel
blocks have been laid and we shall start very
soon on the first steel work. There are now
about $500 men employed on these four ships,
but we shall increase this number to 1000
just as soon as the work progresses far enough
to give that many men something to do''
