GENERAL LEE WILL RETURN.
Consul-General Lee says the rumor
That he may not go back to Havana
because Spain objects to him has no
foundation in fact. He certainly would
have heard OF il If there were any truth
In the idea His relations with General
Weyler have been cordial. and when
they parted they exchanged photo
graphs bearing autographic expressions
of friendship. There can certainly be
nothing personal against him and Off
cally as Consul-General OF the United
States in the present position Spain
could hardly take exception to his per-
formance of duty. General Lee says he
is in this country solely for n vacation
after five months hard work in Havana
during the hottest time of the year. He
is going to Richmond on Monday and
Will visit several other places in Vir-
ginia. After Il trip to West Point to see
his son, cadet there, his leave will end
and he will report to Secretary Oncy
his readiness TO return. Whether he will
take his wife TO Cuba with him will de-
pend entirely on the state OF the coun-
try at the time he returns.

TONEOF TRADES 1MpoyING.
Reports from ScnrIy Every Rrnuch
arc Eucnmrarfn-

New York, Nov. 27.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Last weeks disappointment at the
lack of demand in general lines con-
tinueS, the intervention OF a holiday
having made trade Quieter and the
volume smaller. AT some points of dis
tribution there is no change in the situa-
tion. Mild and unreasonable weather
prevents more active distribution OF
Clothing and heavy goods, and the vol
ume moving is smaller Where bust
ness has been more active il is due TO
filling in orders and 10 demand for holi-
day goods. Confidence is n REVEAL of
demand, which has not yet appeared
was responsible for the starting up of
some mills and factories. which are dis
satisfied with their prospects. The most
encouraging reports are of an improved
tone of trade and favora BILE outlook for
1897.
r. G. Dun 6; Co. will say tomorrow in
their Weekly Review of Trade:
When the rush or orders after cleo
tion slackened many began to thnl;
business dwinGling. But subsistence OF
deferred orders is not decrease of busi-
reSs. Disappointment is observed i'm
the iron and steel industry, because va
rious combinations have been and arc
still retarding orders by prices which
buyers believe cannot be maintained
and the same is true i'll boots and shoes
and in few branches of textile goods.
l;ut business is on the whole enlarging.
and the employment of many more
hands will extend purchasing powers.
The settlement of the window glass
controversy, starting many thousand
hands, and the collapse Of some import
ant iron combinations with the same ef-
feet, give promise of more business.
Broadly speaking. the gain has been
greater than anybody expected, and It
is not surprising If a small part of ii
is in excess of the present consuming
demand.
Reports from all parts of the coun-
try show clearly the enlargement of
trade. not at all points in the same
branches. but everybody helped by a
more confident feeling. Monetary diff
culties have vanished as if by magic
and banks with an uncomfortable large
supply of idle money are hunting bor-
rowers, as the bank deposits. s37, 900, COO
in two weeks, indicate something of
the amount of funds recently boarded.
Cotton has gained only a sixteenth
after its considerable decline, and the
remarkably heavy movement puts the
spectators for an advance in constant
difficulties, and yet there is all the time
to be remembered the fact that the cron
was nearly one month earlier than
usual. Nevertheless the fact aDpears
that Northern mills are taking less cot
ton than in previous years. and the de-
mand for goods is evidently disappoint-
ing. ]t cannot be said that prices i'm
this department are the hndrance. for
even with some recent reduction I'm quo
tations the sales of staple cottons are
comparatively small.

ALBERT H0CE'S machines
They Have Been Designed to Set and
Distribute Type.
THEIR SPECIAL QUALITIES
Inventor Says They Aro Different from
Those Now in ESQ and win RcvOlu-
tionizs the Work Of Setting
Typo in Small Offices.

In the Scranton office of Special Pen
sion Examiner Il. r. Hoge in the Fed
eral building there rest two pieces or
complicated looking contrivanceS which
have attracted the attention of recent
visitors to the Office. The two objects
are models of typesetting and type dis
tributing machines on which patents
have recently been secured by the eX-
aminer's brother, Albert $. Hoge. The
models are not working models, but If
what Is claimed for them by the invent
or lis half true, the invention bids fair
to create a new era in the method OF
publishing newspapers in small towns.
The models are chiefly of wood, there
being several hundred pieces of this
material in each machine, and in addi-
tion there are numerous brass wheels.
in the Office when a Tribune reporter
called there yesterday. He claims that
when the working models are cOmplet-
ed. the machine that sets the type will
not be more than twice as large as
Remington typewriter and that the dis
tributing machine Will be not more than
twice as large as it's mate. Each ap-
paratus Is operated on the same prin-
ciple as a typewriter and can be manu-
featured to sell at about 5000 for the set.
Similar typesetting machines, which.
however. should not be confused with
the expensive linotypes which are run
by power. cost from 81 200 each and are
large and very heavy.
Figures. measurements and other
data are being prepared and will soon
be furnished by a Scranton draughts-
man who will work out the drawings
from which the working models are to
be built. The patents are owned jointly
by the inventor and his brother, Pen
sion Examiner Hoge 1t is their inten-
ton to organize u company at once for
the manufacture of the manchines.
1t is a curious fact that for several
months after the inventor began work.
ing on his models he did not know that
typesetting or linotype machines We're
in use. He began the work fourteen
months ago, at which time he had fin
ished his term as prothonotary of Nir-
ginia county. He claims, however, that
the field for which his machines are ad-
apted is not occupied by any similar
invention.

Among the radical changes made in
its government was the division of the
Pacific jurisdiction into the Pacific and
Northwest jurisdictions and the Allan

New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania,
all of the New England states, and the

Gil of this jurisdiction will meet in
Scranton on May 10 next for organiZa-
ton.
An effort was made by the delegates
from the Pacific jurisdiction to abolish
the insurance feature connected with
the organization. but this was not
agreed to. a compromise was finally
arrived at by which the insurance busi
ness will be carried on by a separate
organization to be known as the Young
Mems Institute Insurance association.
A lecture bureau was established and
one day each year was set apart to be
known as "Y. NJ. ]. Day" Constitu

alarming capacity for jealousy. 1t is
full of touch and good humor from be-
