WASHINGTON. April 10. Opponents Of
the ratification Of the Chinese treaty are
decidedly encouraged over the prospects
since the treaty Was taken up in executive
session Saturday. They have been led to
believe that many republican senators will
assist in opposing ratification and are not
without hope OF assistance from the demo-
cratic eide. The faot that a tWo-thirds
vote Is necessary to secure tho ratification
OF the treaty is favorable TO the opposition.
They will first Try 10 defeat the treaty.

tion could delay consideration until the

Deficiency in earnings to meet
The Sons of Delaware.

Two or three weeks since we pub
lished the manifesto of the progressive
part of the Sons of Delaware" in Phil
adelphia who claimed to represent
much the larger interest of the Asso-
citation. This week we have a counter
statement to represent the conservative
element, which is as follows:
DEAR SIR -
The Annual Report of the Treasurer
of the Sons of Delaware showed that
the expenses of the present house
would be $4,000, while our income was
S1610. 1t was my duty as President to
call attention to the impossibility of
dividing larger sum into a smaller
amount, and suggest that the only
solution of the situation seemed to be
increase of dues, or else mOve to less
expensive quarters. If the latter was
thought best, speedy action must DO
taken, as notice must be given before
January 3lst to landlord.
l learn that less expensive and de-
sirable quarters can be procured in the
BetZ Building, where suite of three
rooms are offered for $1,000 rent, ,includ-
ing light. heat and service. There is a
| Cafe in the building. We use only the
first and second floors of the present
headquarters, and pay rent for the
whole house. We will not lose what
has been expended for repairs improve
ments, as the amount has been de-
Quoted from the rent.
Personally, 1 am willing to stay in
our present quarters and pay dues
equal TO what is charged by other first
class clubs. But in order to OBJ
tain an expression of opinion from all
the members, I addressed each circular
on the subject, and have received to
date responses from twO-thirds of the
entire membership with the following
results Over seventy per cent. favor
removal; fifteen members favor staying
and increasing the dues; while ten re.
plies are indefinite. These facts will
be laid before the Board of Governors,
and their action duly announced.
Faithfully Yours,
|. LAYTON REGISTER,

Our Home Industries

1t is c0nsoling fact to know, during
such depression in business as the press
gives us from our larger cities, and the
country at large, that Smyrna's indus.
tries are doing so well. They are af-
fected to degree as might be expected
and of course can't extend their busi-
ness, but under the prevailing circum-
stances they are doing exceedingly well,
and are kept busy filing orders.
Then again it is gratifying to see our
labOring classes largely employed.
They mean a great deal to our com
munity aud give it a business thrift
and enterprise which keeps Smyrna on
the upward march. The employed
look bright and happy and can be seen
going to and from their business places
with a spirit OF energy that means so
much TO them,
A visit to a few of our industries shows
that there is progress reported on all
sides
The shirt factory is now employing
20 girls who are turning out 80 to 40
dozen shirts day. They are working
on full time and have orders for ali
that they can turn out.
The Hose factory reports much
better showing than two months ago.
There are 65 knitting machines going
all the time and are turning out 900
to 400 dozen pairs of stocking a day. At
present they are working over full
time and having a rush of orders. OF
course they don't know how long its
going to last, but are hopeful of steady
| work.
The new photographer MI. Lawrence
seems to be meeting with pleasing sue
cess. Orders are coming in all the
time and the work he sends out seem,
to be meeting with popular favor. Hi.
group pictures are exceedingly fine
bringing out prominently the feature,
of each individual. Now is splendiC
opportunity to get a club or famil,
groups taken and get just as satisfac
tory results as you could get in Viii
mington or Philadelphia.
1t is soon yet TO forecast the severn
phosphate manufacturers and dealers
but from certain indications there i
evidence that 1894 holds out goo,
promises to them. Smyrna should holt
its place as business centre for al
these industries.
BY an article In another place, it will
be seen that Smyrna is to have an
other industry probably the largest il
the State-a canning factory to b,
located at Smyrna Landing. This will
give us three to furnish employment t,
our citizens next summer.

Increasing Fire Losses.

The recommendation of Governor
Flower, of New York, in his annual
message to the Legislature of that
State, that efforts be made to see if the
enormous waste by fire cannot be
diminished, will strike every well-in-
formed observer as timely and prac-
tical suggestion. He urges the passage
of more stringent building laws, the
compulsory Investigation of fires by
properly constituted local officers, and
that only duly qualified persons be per-
mitted to Introduce electric light or
power wires in buildings If the Legis
lature OF New York will investigate
this question and pass some laws that
will check the annual FIRE waste, it will
confer greater benefit upon that State
than it can by the enactment of almost
any other kind of legislation.
Some steps will have to be taken,
certainly, to stop the annual waste, or
the prosperity of the country will be
seriously affected 1t is growing a a
much more rapid rate than the wealth
of the country increases. In 1875 the
losses by fire in the United States
amounted to SIS, ,1O2, zS5. In 1888 the
total passed the 100000 1000 mark, and
from that figure has increased until ten
years later, or in 1893, the recorded
losses reach $1SS, ,S56, $40, or an in
crease of nearly $37, ,OOO,O over 1892.
During the past nineteen years the
aggregate property loss by fire has
reached the almost incredible total OF
81 ,95S. .196, ,344, and, although an in.
surance ofabout 81, 100000, 900 has been
paid to property owners, this insurance
has to be made up from assessments on
other property, aud so becomes q tOtal
loss to the country PhiiG. Press.

A Fruit Growers Suggestion.

A large fruit grower and practical
man makes the following suggestion /,
shippers Of fruit and other property
holders pay full rates for its transporta.
ton as rule, and to the last letter fulfill
the contract expressed or implied in re-
lation thereto. The transportation
company on the other hand exercises
its own good pleasure about dispatch
or delivery and often unnecessarily
subjects the shipper to loss without any
effort at remedy by compensation or
otherwise.
To my brother farmers and fruit
growers / wish to make proposition.
Let US rest this ceaseless howl at ex.
cessive freight rates for the present and
instead make a determined fight fer a
better service at present rates. Let the
shippers of each shipping point organ
ize, raise fund by assessment 10 prose
cute any transportation company
which by It's own oarelessness or
penuriousness In handling our produce
or failure ia forwarding It promptly to
It's destination, causes loss to the
shippers. Prosecute every case large
and small, and this thing Of side
tracking perishatle goods until rotten
or allowing lazy employees to throw
and bang our crates until their con-
tents are ruined will cease. am not
an apologist for the transportation com
panies, but | Hrmly believe that the
shippers are in . great measure to
blame for the reckless manner IN which
their freight Is handled"
Smyrna times., 1894-01-10
Insurance.

The question of insurance is one that
interests every business man, and vet
by the developments of the past two
weeks there is nothing of a business
nature in such an unsettled and un.
satisfactory condition as the matter of
insurance. The people complain, and
the companies seem to be in no better
humOr. Thus, the Mutual Companies
have cancelled a number of policies
and at meeting Of Insurance Under
writers of which the Stock Companies
are members, held in Philadelphia last
week, the vote as to whether they
should cease altogether insuring prop
erty in Delaware or continue for an
other year was a tie, the President de-
Gliding the question by casting his vote
to try it for another year.
The controlling matter with the in.
suTance men is of course the losses,
which have been heavy and if correctly
reported in the papers, much of it at
tributable to Oincendiaryism. Incendiary
ism is the result of depraved morals
and not a little of this outside of Der.
sOnal immortality is inculcated in bad
law and wore political methods. The
lower instead of the higher instincts
are worked upon.
To be without insurance is TO be con
frOnted with an idea that may cling
with the force Of the nightmare, that
some day, any day, all one has, may 90
up in smoke and leave destitution in
its place. We need not draw 1t; the
picture paints itself. To prevent it
coming to this, vigilance may be neces-
sary, and the necessity of every man
becoming in a certain sense detective.
But with the stock companies, should
they leave the field or continue at ad.
vanced rates, in either case it will
leave a necessity for home mutual
companies. The people will not do
without insurance..
Smyrna times., 1894-01-10
A New Canning Industry to be at
Smyrna Landing.

The LOCATING of any new factory
which will give employment to labor
and put more money in circulation is
an objective point well worth attain
ing. For several years efforts have
been made to locate large oaDnery at
Smyrna Landing. The location being
one that made it possibly the most de-
sirable point for such business, care
has been used to secure such an estab-
lishment that would not only give en-
plOyment to large number of hands,
but would do more diversified canning
than others we have.
A number of opportunities to locate
small plants were allowed to pass, and
the result has been satisfactory This
establishment will consist Of two build
ings, one 40xS0 aud two stories high,
in which will be located the cansmak=
ing machinery, and the other building,
l00x50 will be used as shipping and
storage warehouse. The buildings
will be substantial aud have double
pitched roofs covered with iron.
The Philadelphia and Smyrna Trans
poFtatiOn Company have contracted TO
put up these buildings and have given
the owners the use Of their land so
long as the cannery continues in opera
tion. The moving of the machinery OF
this plant to this point will involve an
outlay of a large sum of money, but
the owners believe the quality Of the
fruit and vegetables canned and the
lower freight rates TO be obtained, will
repay them in time.
Tomatoes only will be canned this
season, but it is proposed to run on
peas and sugar corn in addition in the
future.
The two-story building Il Is expec.
ted will be ready for can making bv
Feb. Is, 1894. This establishment will
probably be the largest cannery In the
State, and should not only be a benefit
to our town, bat also to the farmers
who have found that tomato growing
pays better than most any other crop
they can raise.
