IN WARLIkE MOOD,
The Navy Department Wants to Declare
War Against Chill.

War Against Chill.
New YORK, Dec. ia special from
Washington to The Herald says the
navy department is in warlike mood.
1t was stated about the department that
the Chilians are delaying their answer
to our demand for information concern
ing the Valparaiso incident for the pur-
pose OF gaining time, so that their new
war vessel, the Captain Pratt, which
will be the most formidable Of their
fleet, is completed. The situation thus
outlined was discussed with eagerness,
and the opinion was freely advanced
that President Harrison would, in all
likelihood take measures to checkmate
Chill III this matter by sending special
message to congress within the next two
weeks, reciting the fact that an explain
alton has been sought of Chill without
avail, and proclaiming the necessity of
informing Chill that this country will
resort to extreme measures if the desired
response is further delayed beyond
reasonable and specified time.
The wisdom of this course, it is ar
gued, would be apparent. The Captain
Pratt is now building in France, and
cannot be finished in less than two
months or more. In the meantime,
should Harrison and congress cause a
declaration of war by the United States
against Chill. it would prevent France
from delivering the vessel to Chill, and
would save New York and our other
Atlantic cities from danger of lombard
ment from that source.

two golden candelabra. The work on
the candelabra was Of the same descrip-

a BIG INDUSTRY.
100000 Raised for the Ellis
and Lessig Plant.
THE ROANOKE TINES BUREAU,
Hotel, TITCERNE. SALEM VA

HOTEL LUCERNE, SALEM, VA
The fact that the Ellis s. Lessig Steel
and Iron Company, of Pottstown, Pa,
have been negotiating with some of the
prominent business men of the city OF
Salem, for the past week or ten days,
is we'll known.
At the instance of Frank A. Haywood,
who went North in the interests of sew
eral Salem land companies, Messrs. Ellis
& Lessig, of the steel and iron company,
at Pottstown, visited Salem and were
much impressed with the city as a de-
Birable location for their plant. They
found that they could get their iron and
coal cheaper and better freight rates at
this point than in Pennsylvania. They
came to the conclusion that they could
profits resulting from their business at
Pottstown.
Not only were the gentlemen from
Pottstown pleased with Salem as a de-
sirable business location, but they were
impressed with the natural advantages
of the city.
The result of their visit was a pro-
position on their part that they would
remove their immense plant at Potts
Gown to Salem, for forty acres of land
an1 100000. This was large sum Of
money for Salem to raise, but some of her
enterprising business men went to work
to raise it, and many of tho citizens put
theirs hands into their pockets and sub
scribed individually to the project
a number Of the land companies also
subscribed literally, and the Pottstown
people were written few days ago
that Salem had accepted their PROPOSE
ton and was ready to sign the contract
An answer to this communication is
now daily looked for.
In the meantime there has been great
excitement at Pottstown. The board of
trade and the city council of that place.
SO the reports say, have met and have
made strenuous efforts to induce the
Ellis IL Lessig Company to remain in
Pottstown.
On March2 tho rottstown correspon-
dent of the Philadelphia Times wrote
the Times that the Ellis 6 Lessig Steel
and Iron Company had accepted propo-
sition from Salem, Va, of 100000, if
the company would remove its plant
there, and went on to say that Just as
soon as the Ellis IL Lessig Company
would work up their stock they would
remove to Salem.
The reasons assigned for the removal
were the better facilities for raw ma
terial to be obtained in Salem.
The recent issue of the Manufac-
turers' Record has this interesting piece
of information
"The Ellis & Lessig Steel and Iron
Company, of Pottstown, Pa, one of the
big enterprises of that State making
among other things steel and iron nails,
its capacity in this line being 5000
kegs year, writes the Manufacturers
Record; I'VE contemplate erecting large
iron works in the South, probably at or
near Salem, Va. We will, of course,
want engines and machinery, but do not
want bids now, not having fully decided
on what our requirements will be-"
The business men of the city inter
ested in getting the plant to Salem are
confident that it will be removed here.
If it comes it will employ 700 hands,
and add to the population $500 people.
