CHICAGO, May 7.-After trying for sew
eral months to learn just what Mr. Baker
wants In the way OF an appropriation for
the lair from congress, the board of control
decided yesterday to send General St. Clair
to W Washington to look out for the interests
OF the national commission. From the
start 1t has been thought that congress
would deal more literally with the fair if
the commissioners and the directors worked
together for one bill. 1t was believed that
II two separate bills were brought before
congress, with the directors working for
one and the commissioners for another.
the members of congress would become
confused, and thereby have an excuse for
voting against both. Two bills would in
dicate that the two boards were not work.

will be presented.
st. Clair to Go to Washington.
The commissioners did not decide to
male separate fight for funds until after
the. conference with the directors yester-
day afternoon. Some of the directors
waited TO postpone the attempt to get the
bill passed until the next session of con-
gress. That Was what convinced the board
Of control that it was time to begin hust-
ling for funds. Resolutions were adopted
last evening declaring the Importance of
going to Washington without delay and
putting the whole subject of congressional
legislation in the hands of General St.
Clair. He will go to Washington early
next week and ask for hearing before
the Durborow committee in the interest of
the national board.
Will Take 1t in Silver Half Dollars
"rhe directors have relieved Mr.. Baker
OF any further work in that direction, and
put their interests in the hands of Lyman
.J. Gage. Mr.. Gage will go to Washing
ton next week. He also expects to meet
the Durborow committee. General st.
Clair is drawing up a bill for the nation
al commission now. 1t is thought that his
bill will call for an appropriation of about
50, 600 in silver half dollars, large part
of which will be for the maintenance of the
departments Mr.. Gage will stand firm
for the 5000, 900 bill that he outlined last
week when in Washington.

1t is an undoubted fact that al
overwhelming majority ofthc wooden
manufacturers of this country are
opposed 10 any charge of the present
tariff on wool and woolcns. The
Boston journal Of Commerce has just
published an expression of opinion
Oh the subject from a large number
of well known woolen manufacturers
in the New England States. The
journal of Commerce sent out circu-
lars of inquiry to representative men
engaged in the wooden industry. No
account was taken of politics in the
matter.
These questions were not sent to
the signers of the recent memorial to
Congress petitioning for free wool;
nor were they sent to the more PROM

President Hill, of the Great North
ern Railway, which is now being
rapidly pushed TO its Pacific terminus
at Seattle, was banqueted the other
evening by 100 of the leading bust
ness men of Seattle. In his speech
he said: THAT the Great Northern
Road would carry more freight with
a ton of coal than any other road;
that Seattle was SEQ miles nearer
Chicago than San Francisco and that
the real values of the world were
such as arise from agricultural, tiIr-
Der and mineral resources; that Seattle
had all of these things and would
therefore prove a valuable partner to
the road" Mr.. Hill Is doing Il good
work and asking no government aid
either. lie is opening up a rich
country along his new line which
promises TO be a favorite route TO
the Pacific in the Dear future.

Teiecranhr at Sea.

A pet project of Wizard Edison is that
Of ~telegrapay at sea. And he would

graphing from moving trains has al
ready soi7ed the question of induction,
and Mr.. Edison conceived the idea of
applying TIE same principle to the tele-
graphing from n ship to another at
sea. Thirty miles is the limit to the
distance of connection, but thirty rliles

The specifications for this wonderful

reduce to the minimum the cartlI's ab-
sorption, electric tclcgraphing or sig
mailing betwecr distant points a bc

use of wires connecting such distant
points.
This discovery Is especially appli,a-
BILE to tclcEraphing across bodies OF
water, thus avoiding the use of sub
marine cables, or for communicating
between vessels 1T sea and points on
land. but it is also applicable to cleo
trio communication between distant
points en- land, 1t being necessary, how
ever, on land, with the exception of
communication over open prairie, to in
crease the elevation in order TO reduce
to the minimum the induction-absorb-
ing effect Of houses, trees and cleva-
tons in the land itself.

whesc recent declaration that "what
the wooden manufacturer of the United
States rsw needs before all else is a
period of entire rest from tariff agi-
tatioa" was conclusive proof of the
position held by the Association on
this subject. The attempt Yves made
to get a perfectly free and men,
partisan expression of opinion on this
great industrial question. The sac
cess which attended it is significant.
Thiriy-five firms, representing what
/ might be called The rank and file of
the New England wooden manufacture
ers, responded. Thirty-two OF these
expressed themselves in the strongest
terms against any me dling with the
wool tariff at present. Twenty-eight
firms declared that they were sub
stan.ialiy satisfied with the present
ttrin: four firms suggested revision
in certain particulars i'll the future:
only three firms were willing 10 al!ew
the work of the Congressional tariff
thinkers to go on. The same idea
expressed in the declaration Of the
Association OF Wool Manufacturers is
uttered again and again. One FROM
inent manufacturer declares: The
pIesen: tariff on wool is all right as il
is. and any modification of it at this
time would unsct:lc prices and be a
great damage 10 the lahOring men.
The Springer bill, if il should become
a law. wouiJ he a curse TO the nation
and especially to labor Another
SAYS: I'VE don't think best to make
any changes now. TO open the ques-
ton would be injurious TO the wool
and woo,cn interests at this time
A third declares: 1--WE are perfectly
satisfied with the present tariff On
wool. and do not want any portion OF
it modified. nor the law repealed.
Give us Temporary rest. No icgisla-
ton whatsoever on the subject" \
fourth firm states its opinion W th
equal tcr>caess: I'VE do rot care 10
have any change in the present tariff
law, and consider the Introduction in
to Congress of Mr.. S%pringer's bill as
injuGicious and harmful TO industrial
int e 1t would be easy TO give
a score more OF the same
tenor.
Under these circumstances it is
useless for Mr.. Springer and his free
trade allies TO attempt TO delude the
people into the belief that the repre-
sentatIves of the American wooden
manufacturing industry are favorable
to tariff revision Oh the lines of the
Springer free wool bill. The mi
facturers whose sentiments are pub
lishcd in the journal Of Commerce are
business mcn OF ripe experience who
give employment at American wages
10 many thousands of operatives.
Their opinion. practically unanimous,
is that all the WOODEN industry of thu
United States needs is TO be let alone.
Woolcns are cheaper TO the consumer
under the Mckinley tariff than they
were before: The vast wool growing
industry of tie nation is protected.
and the prosperity of the wooden
manufacturing interest is regarded as
assured if the present tariff is lett ur-
changed.
The action of the free traders in
the House of Representatives is a
deliberate attempt TO wreck a grea
American industry for the purpose
of gaining temporary partisan capital.
