Glass Plant situation.

After the meeting of purchasers OF
lots in the Glass Plant Addition, which
was held Monday afternoon, and at,
which nothing was accomplished, it
became practically certain that nc
understanding could eyer be arrived at
between the Trustee, Mr.. j. w. Hughes
and the promoters of the project. The
latter held a meeting Monday evening
to which the public was not admitted.
1t may be stated that the projectors OF
the plant feel that they have done all
in their power to place the plant in
Marietta and have made proposition
which they consider fair, reasonable
and just. No further concessions may
be looked for from them.
1t is useless to dodge the situation
which appears to be this: Certain
gentlemen offer to build glass plant
under certain conditions. Trustee
Hughes insists that he as the represent
ative of the lot purchasers, will not
comply-and there the matter stands.
1t will require quick and intelligent
work on somebody's part to save the
industry to Marietta, if it is not already

A Railroad Ticket.

peared at the Auditorium Monday
night in the taking comedy "a Rail

miserable fiasco of the Widow Bedott
Company on Christmas night, there
was large audience of theatre-goers
present and all enjoyed the perfor-
nance from beginning to end. The
show is full of catchy songs and spe-
cialties and the comedy work is above
reproach. The company is capable
and we'll balanced and had little diff
Guilty in getting close to their audience.

THERE is much criticism of the action
Of the House committee on Appropria-
tions in virtually refusing to allow the
Patent Office to spend portion of the
money it earns, by ignoring the
estimates of Secretary Bliss for sufic-
lent additional help to bring the work
of the Patent Office, now from two to
six months behind, up to date. The
Patent Office annually turns in to the
U. S. Treasury sum aggregating
, much larger than the total cost of
running the Office, and has in the
Treasury to its credit accrued profits
exceeding $1,000, 600 and it does seem
that it would be right and proper to
allow it to spend enough to haye its
work promptly handled

THE AMERICANS
Interested in the Proposed Dis
memberment of China.
Partition Involves the Abrogation Of
Treaties With This Country.
1t VIII he Necessary for Us to Interfere
in Self f-Defense-There is Much In the
Chinese Problem That Demands the
Administrations Consideration.

New YORK, Dec. 27.-According to a
Washington correspondent of the
Herald, Senator Morgan, of Alabama
of the committee on foreign relations,
said Sunday night that it would be inn
possible for the United States to re-
main complncent should European ma
tions undertake the edismemberment of
China Morgan said: IF par
tition involves the abrogation
of treaties this country would
be left to make terms again
with each European nation separately
in the territory to which its sovereign
ty extended. Therefore unless the
powers now ambitious for territorial
portance of American commercial rela-
tions with China, it will be
necessary for the government
to intervene in self-defense. If
the cession is absolute then American
interests must be taken care of through
the treaties between America and the
countries to which the absolute ces-
sions are made respectively. If the
territory is given up merely for time
there will be mixed responsibility
and it is good time for intervention
and the exercise of American diplo-
macy. The German occupation of a
part of China and the prospective occu-
patton of other parts by various
European nations is an effort to COM
plete a Gordon of offence to Amer
lean commerce from Vladivostock to
Marseilles or to Liverpool. That cor
don is being stretched to contract the
trade of 600, 100000 of people who have
direct trade and intercourse with the
Pacific ocean. There is great deal in
the Chinese problem that vitally inter
ests Americans and which seems to de-
mand immediate consideration from
the state department and congress-"

SECRETARY Sherman has been con-
sidering a plan for a reorganization
and betterment of our consular service,
and the result of his study will be en-
bodied in some recommendation that
will be submitted to Congress. One of
those recommendations will be that
American citizens be placed in charge
of those consulates now held by for
eigners, and another that salaries be
incr eased at the small and unhealthy
ports.
