and pbilanthropic work. About a year
ago Mr.. Stokes finished a quarter Of a
century of labor as a member Of the
American industrial committee Of the
7. NJ G. A., and for many years he
has materially assisted the progress Of
the association Iabors in Europe.
In fact, he initiated the work Of the
2. NJ. @. A in wicked Paris about 20
years ago by making such arrangements
that the Paris association was able TO
meet in rooms of its own. The ambi-
ton of his life thenceforth was to
see the day when the Paris Y. NJ. Q.

its own in the French metropolis For
years he has labored to carry out this
project, and his efforts have at last been
crowned with success. The building

1t is stated that if the report of the
landing of the Chinese troops unop-

peaceful settlement of the disputes
between China and Japan are i'm
proved, as the Chinese fleet of trans

education, which proved valuable to
him later in life. His father was q
prominent street railroad magnate. and
young Singerly displayed such shrewd-
ness in the management of his sire's
properties that he made fortune. His
father left him $3.50, 900 worth Of street
railroad stock, which young Singerly in
= short time sold for double that sum.
In 1877 Mr.. 6ingerly bought the
Philadelphia Record, which, under his
management, became a successful and
influential newspaper. He is interested
in many enterprises and seems to pos
sess the touch that turns everything to
gold An illustration of the manner in
which fortune smiles upon him is shown
by his experience with the thorough
bred AIorello. When MOrello was q
yearling, Frank Van Ness bought him
for So, 900 and sold q half interest in
him to Mr. Singerly. AS a 2-year-old
in 1899 Morello won the $40, 600 Futur-
ity. One of Mr.. Singerly's hobbies is
the development of horses and the
breeding of Holstein cattle at his stock
farm in Montgomery county.
He has built nearly 1000 houses in
Philadelphia, and his numerous and di-
versified business interests make him a
very busy man. He has been an active
Democrat since 1856 and took an espe-
cially active part in the presidential
campaigns of 1884 and 1888. He is a
personal friend of President Cleveland
and an ardent champion Of tariff re-
form. He is president of tho Chestnut
Street National bank and the Chestnut
Street Trust and Savings Fund company
and owns among other things one of
the largest paper and pulp mills in the
United States

The LOuAsfannn Holds His Allegiance to
His state as Paramount.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-In the SEN
ate yesterday afternoon Mr. Caffery
Of Louisiana took the floor and re-
sumed his speech of Tuesday after
noon, but his remarks did not arouse
much interest. He plunged immedi-
ately into the question Of the compli-
Gated methods of refining sugar in
Louisiana. which sugar went into
competition with the sugars refined
by the trust. He commended that
the bounty provision of the McKin-
ley law prevented the extensive
refining Of sugar by the producer He
made an elaborate argument to prove
that, by virtue Of the implied con tract
made with the sugar producers in the
bounty provision Of the existing law,
the Louisiana sugar people asked no
more than was their due when they
continue the existence Of their
industry. He maintained that
q fair ad valorem rate of IS per cent
would furnish sufficient protection
both to the producer and the rehner.
He predicted that the louisiana cane
grower with the new facilities coming
Into use would in a decade be able TO
hold his own against the sugar pro
ducers of the world.
Louisiana, he said. was Democratic
state, and did not desire to stand in
the wav of tariff reform, but he in
sisted that in marching to the goal of
tariff reform his party should not
trample the form Of his PROSTATE

as prepared infringed upon his own
ideas OF what should be he should

poses The question presented is

under a revenue tariff, shall be

leagues, the fire OF Democracy still
burned in their breasts, but if
