STILL AN INFANT INDUSTRY.
Mr.. Hicks, of Piqua, Says the Tin Plate
Business Has Come to Stay.

Mr.. Hicks, of Piqua, Says the Tin Plate
Business Has Come to Stay.
James Hicks, Secretary and Treasurer OF
the Piqua Rolling Mill Company and tin
plate manufacturer, registered at the Du-
quesne yesterday. He was on his way to
New York. Mr.. Hicks says they have one
stack, and will have a capacity of 40 boxes
of tin plate per day when they begin opera
tions. They can get all the black plate
they need from their own rolling mill. He
admitted that it was true that black plate is
scarce in the United States, but is not be-
cause it can't be made here. The Welsh
certainly lead in this department, but all
that is needed in America is to generally
introduce the system of cold rolling. 1t is
not a new process, and several mills IN the
country are using the plan to roll sheets.
Mr.. Hicks thinks the tin plate men will
surprise the people in the next 80 days with
what they can do.
1t was Mr. Hicks tin plate establishment
at Piqua that furnished Ex-Governor Camp
bell so much sport during the last cam
palgn. The Governor said thev were not
making tin plate and couldn't produce it.
Mr. Hicks believes in the principle that
the man laughs best who laughs last The
Ex-Governor was in Piqua the other day,
but he didn't mention the subject of tin
plate At the Ada debate Treasurer Hart,
of the company, sat on the platform with
four new $500 notes in his pocket, which
he intended to give the Governor for cam
paign purposes if be made any references
to the Piqua plant and would prove his

No Clash Between the Committees Having
the Worlds Fair in Charge.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 22.-Edward
Walker, member of the Executive Com
mlttee and Chairman of the Legislative
Committee Of the Local Directory, and Ger
eral J. W. st. CLAIR, of the National Com
mission, had an informal talk to-day with a
number Of members of the House Com
mittee on the Columbian Exposition. Mr.
Walker assured them that there was no con-
tiict between the local directory and the
National Commission, and that the work
was progressing satisfactorily. The only
friction, he said, was personal to Director
General Davis and President Baker, and in
no way affected the work which was going
on at the rate of almost 8, coo 600
month. The local directory, he
said, conceded TO the National Commission
Jurisdiction over the installation Of exhibits
and over the ceremonies incident to the
opening of the Exposition. In view of the
strong characters of the Director General
and the President of the National Commits
sion and of the narrow line separating their
powers some friction was natural, but it was
not allowed to interfere with the interests
OF the Exposition.
Mr.. Walker and Mr.. ST. Clair explained
to the committee what had been done and
what was in progress. 1t is probable that
from time to time other gentlemen con-
nected with the Exposition will explain
matters to the members of the committee
with view Of furthering legislation pro-
posed. The bill granting Government aid
10 the Exposition to the amount of S., ,OOO,-
GOO has not vet been prepared, and, MI.
Durburrow says, will not be introduced for
some time yet. Until this is done the com
mittee will not take up this matter.

'TwAsN'T A CONFEDERATE FLAG
That Was Displayed Recently Over Texas
Postoffice Building.

fostO1nc6 Du1iQlng.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., Jan. 21.-First
Assistant Postmaster General Whitfield has
received from the postmaster at Baird, Gala
han county, Texas, an explanation of'the
Confederate flag incident. He says that at
the time the flag is said TO have been flying
over the building in which the postoffice is
located the county fair was in progress at
Baird. In honor of that event the citizens
decorated their places of business and dis
played as many flags and as much bunting
as they could conveniently obtain. In con-
sequence of the great demand the supply of
United States flags became exhausted, and
the owner of the building in which the post
office is located, in order to complete his
decorations, procured some bunting and
had his sister make "a flag. With only an
imperfect knowledge of how the United
States flag is fashioned, the result of her
labor was a complete failure except as
display of bunting. Instead of 13 stripes
her flag had only three, with nine stars in
the blue field. . But it answered the pur-
pose. and was hoisted over the postoflice
building.
This is the postmaster's explanation.
General Whitfield, however, is in posses
sion of the afidavits of five reputable peo-
pie who declare that on several specified
dates they saw the Confederate flag strung
over the postoffice building, and that they
were told by citizens of the town that it
was Confederate flag. But inasmuch as
the postmaster declares that the flag was
not Confederate flag, and was not pur-
posely made to resemble one, and expresses
deep regret that he had done anything that
could be construed as disloyal act to the
Government, he is inclined to let the Incl
dent pass.

UnaU tne lnvluaulons OF this government
for the assembling of an international
monetary conference to consider the
question of an enlarged issue OF silver
was accepted by the nations to which
they were issued. The conference assem-
bled at Brussels On the 22nd of November,
and has entered upon the consideration of
this great question. have not doubted,
and have taken occasion to express that
belief, as we'll in the invitations issued
Tor this conference as in my public mes
sages, that the free coinage Of silver upon
an agreed international ratio would
greatly promote the interests of our peo-
pie and equally those of other nations 1t
Is too early to predict what results may
be accomplished by the conference. If
any temporary check or delay intervenes,
l believe that very soon commercial con-
dltions will compel the now reluctant
governments to unite with us iii this
movement to secure the enlargement Of
the volume Of money needed for the tran
saction of the business of the world.
