Business

OAKLAND. Aug. 2O.-A large beet
sugar factory may be established at
Crockett, Contra Costa county. The
proposed site is where the Starr flour
mills stand, agents of the California Beet
Sugar Refining company have been in
terviewing farmers in that vicinity
An investment of 81, SOC, 900 in the en-
terprise is contemplated, it is under
stood. The location under consideration
is favorable for transportation by rail
ard water of raw and manufactured
products. The site was selected for the
Starr mills for that reason.

cry have been arranged and that as soon
as the site is selected work will COM
mence. The new factory will handle
beets from the bay counties. If the raw
product is to be ready in the season of
1898 contracts with the farmers must be
made soon.
The Starr mills property belongs to
George W. McNear, who, it is said, has
become interested in the beet sugar en-
terprise. Mr. McNears represen ia tives
in this city neither affirm nor deny the
report that he has taken first place
among the organizers of the company.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.--A state
ment prepared by the treasury depart

history of trade relations with Japan,
the United States is entitled to be con-
sidered as serious competitor with
Europe. A recent British report from
the legation at Toxic reviews the for
efgn trade of Japan during the past
year. In the supply of machinery, rails
nails and pig iron the United States as
sumed leading place. The British re-
port pointed out that the American rail-
way builders were likely to receive a
great many orders during the next year.
An unusual demand for metals textiles
and raw materials is noted. going TO show
the growth of manufactures in japan.
Our own statistics sustain the truth of
the British report, the treasury depart
inent statistics showing there has been
great increase in our exports to Japan.

VETERANS REUNION
Made Memorable by Presence of the
President

TROY, N. Y, August 20-Great pre-
parations were made to entertain the
visiting members and friends of the
Army of the Potomac, who gathered
here today for their annual reunion
The city is ablaze with decoration.
and every hall and available space has
comodation of guests.
President Mckinley and Secretary
Alger arrived at $3.50 and were met al
the station by AdjutantGeneral TIL
linghast, and Governor Blacks Mill
tary Secretary, Col. Treadwel1. There
was a big crowd and plenty of cheering
but the President refused to speak
and was driven at once to the Troy
House, which will be his headquarters
At 10 o'clock he was taken with party
to see the great color factory with over
two thousand girls and women en-
ployed at work.
The President and escort went across
the river to the Watervliet arsenal
where the interesting work of shrinking
a gun jacket upon gun was witnessed
A national salute was fired and the guard
turned out, and President Mckinley ex-
pressed his satisfaction a the busy ap-
pearance of things. AS the party crossed
the river, every whistle within mile of
the city water front blew a salute.
Following closely upon the arrival of
President Mckinley, the various army
corps composing the Army of the Poto-
mac met at the headquarters heretofore
esta ablished for them and held business
meetings.
r1,A d. s,, g \ !
and the Army of the Potomac was one of
the largest ever seen in Troy. Nearly
1900 guardsmen were in line and about
1000 survivors of the late war. Three
National Guard companies of Troy acted
as escort to the Presidential party, and
Governor Frank S. Black and staff.
The annual election of officers of the

A STRIKE IS CONTEMPLATED
TO INCLUDE EVERY BRANCH OF
LABOR
Vending Action Of the Conference
the Coal Miners Will Continue
the Struggle
Associated Press Special Wire.

COLUMBUS. O., Aus. 20.-The ma
tional executive board of the mine
workers adjourned today after issuing
a call for a meeting of organized labor
to be held in ST. Louis, August 80. The
board rejected the proposition of the
Pittsburg operators for conference,
claiming that such action would be
prejudicial to the interests of the miners
The board is ready to consider overtures
for the arbitration of the issues Of the
great strike only when these overtures
come from all the operators in the
competitive districts, which include
Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia and
Pennsylvania. The board has decided
not to deviate from the established pol
icy until the result of the St. Louis con-
ference is known. The aggressive work
in the field will be continued. The sue
cess or failure of the strike hangs on the
result of the conference, the call for
which has been indorsed by Samuel
Gompe o. the American Federation OF
Labor, and j. r. Sovereign of the
knights of Labor.
The failure to secure a general suS-
pension in West Virginia has greatly in
y tefferred with the prospects of success,
as coal supplied from thence is meeting
the limited demand. If the object of the
!, St. Louis conference is accomplished the
strike will be extended to nearly every
branch of labor in the country.
The coal operat tors, in their meeting
tonight, after waiting in vain for an an
swer from President Ratchford to their
telegram asking for conference to ar
bitrate the strike question, issued a
statement to the public shortly after mid
night.
The operators state that if the miners
leaders will agree to confer, and that If
Eo basis can be agreed upon, they will
submit the dispute to arbitration.
The operators charge Ratchford with
trying to delay settlement that he may
bring all the labor organizations in the
country to his aid, and then frighten
politicians into insisting upon a settle
ment of the strike without regard to its
merits. The operators will call upon
Ratchford to arrange at once for con-
ference for settlement or arbitration.
They say they have exhausted every ef-
fort to make an amicable settlement,
but that the miners refuse either to meet
in conference or to arbitrate.
MARCHERS DISCOURAGED
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. 2O.-Most
Of the local miners who were induced by
the marchers to quit work have returned
to the mines. The marchers are still
here but feel discouraged. One operator
stated that hereafter there would hardly
be coal miners union in this city. He
would permit his men to return to work
only on the condition that they quit the
union.

MEXICAN MERCHANTS
FEAR RUIN FROM THE FALL OF
SILVER
But Home Manufactures Are Boom
ing and the Outlook Is Not
Altogether Hopeless

| NEW YORK, August 20.-A dispatch
| to the Herald from Mexico city says:
| Exchange on New York has reached 145
| premium. In other words, it takes $2.45
Mexican money to buy an American dol
ar containing less silver than the Mexi-
can. This enormous depreciation of the
| Mexican dollar is running merchants.
They are cancelling all orders for i'm
ports and many will close their stores, as
| they cannot sell the stock on hand at
| rate high enough to replenish them.
They believe the price is unnaturally de-
pressed and Is due to conspiracy abroad.
Meanwhile home manufactures are
booming, as the depreciat ton in silver
makes a high tariff wall. Coffee, sugar,
tobacco and sisal hemp planters are
prosperous; they sell abroad for gold and
pay their laborers in silver Strange to
say the Mexican dollar buys as much
goods as ever 1t did except of the i'm
ported variety.
The government is hard hit as 1t has
to pay the interest on the foreign debt in
gold. There is some talk of reputation,
but there is no knowing what President
cent debt. paying only per cent interest
hereafter. Capitalists are f1ocking into
the country to take advantage of the
high premium and invest their gold.
The belief here is that la Dor paid in sill
yer will eventually win against labor
paid in gold. In support of this, the the
ory is pointed out that the tin mines Of
Cornwall will have to shut down because
they cannot compete with those in the
Straits settlements and Borneo, where
Mexican dollars are current. Bankers
here say a handful of men in London are
manipulating the money of the world,
which means that they are controlling
the prices of the world and that it is the
old fight of monarchy against society.
Rich Mexicans, accustomed to living
much of the time abroad, are staying at
home investing their silver in building
and improvements. All kinds of real
estate is rapidly advancing in price and
the demand for masons and contractors
is large. Attention is also being directed
to tropical agriculture.
RISING PRICES
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-Con sui Gen.
eral Joseph D. Dudley stationed at
Nueva Laredo, in communicat ton to
the state department, says that as a re-
suit of the recent fall in the price. of sill
Yer, there has been marked rise in
the price Of all commodities in Mexico.
This is true of domestic products. Rents
are included in the rise of prices. He
says there has been no corresponding
advance OF wages or salaries. Labor,
he states, stays on its silver basis.
