The A. Booth Packing company have
purchased of the ST. Paul Warehouse
and Elevator company, of which c. H.
Bigelow is president, the site Of the
old elevator on Third street, opposite
st. Peter street.
This is the most important deal in
realty consummated this year, and one
which will make ST. Paul the central
distributing point in the Northwest for
the product of another concern of ma
tional repute. Following close in the
wake of the big deal by which Swift
& Co. became identified with ST. Paul
comes the announcement of the pur
chase Of one Of the most valuable
pieces of business property in the city
by the largest packing and canning
company in the world, and the further
announcement that the property will
be improved to the extent of 100000.
The details of the transaction have
not as yet been made public, but it
was stated last evening by c. W. Turn

guaranty fund with the owners of the
property, and as soon as the title was
looked up the property would be paid
for in full. Mr.. Turner declined to state
the amount involved In the tranSac-
ton, but it is understood that the prop
erty was secured at quite a low figure.
Mr.. Turner informed the G o b e last
evening that the report in an evening
paper that the stipulated amount for
the purchase of the property was $780,
600 was without foundation, but he de-
clined to make public the purchase
price.
The Booth company will erect large
warehouse on the site to facilitate the
better handling of their Northwestern
business. Mr., Turner said he would
be unable to tell just how soon the
work on the new building would COM
mence, as it was their intention to DO
away with several branch houses In
the Northwest and central1ze their
business in St. Paul. w. V. Booth, the
general manager of the Booth conf
pany, will arrive in the city tomor-
row, when the details OF the purchase
of the property will be agreed upon
Mr. Turner stated that their ware
house would be one of the finest In the
Northwest, and would cost in the
neighborhood of $780, 900 when complet-
ed. They would have the finest re-
frieerator accommodations in the coun-
try.

has been under consideration and to a cer-
tain extent accomplished. In accepting the
nomination made already by the Democratic
organizations outside of New York county,
this committee has adhered to its position
that it represents a Democratic body But
it denies wholly the assertion that the or
ganization known commonly as Tammany
hall is, under the domination of Richard
Croker, either representative body, Demo-
cratic organization or a political agency, to
which any citizen of New York can intrust
his interests in the government of the greater
city. The defeat of Tammany is the triumph
of Democracy. The defeat of Plattism is the
triumph of that type of Repub.ieanism which
had its origin with the men who nominated
Abraham Lincoln for the presidency of the
United States. In uniting with the Citizens
Union to defeat at one stroke Richard Croker
and Thomas c. Platt the great body of vot-
ers for whom this committee speaks mas
taken the obvious course.
The leaders of the United Democ-
racy and the Democratic alliance, who
first nominated Henry George, were
furious this morning over their deser
ton by him. but the George leaders
say these organizations will remain in
line A meeting held tonight by men,

test against the committees action did
little but cheer for Henry George. AT

er, millionaire lawyer, was nomi-
mated to take the place on the Tam
many ticket vacated by Jacob Rupert
Jr.. nominee for president of the coun-
Gil, who resigned.

candidate for mayor, is preferred by

It is not thought the building of the
plant will be started before next
spring.
At the present time the Booth COM
pany employs thirty-five men, but,
with the increased business, they will
be enabled to handle in their new
building, their pay roll will be greatly
increased. There will be no manufac-
turing done in their new building, 1t
will simply be used as a Northwest
ern storage and distributing point, for
points north and west of ST. Paul.
The A. Booth Packing company
claims to be the largest concern of it's
kind in the world. They have thirty
one branch houses in the United States
and many establishments all over
Western Europe. The European houses
buy largely of American canned goods
which is demonstrated by an order
ton canning factory for 10000 cases
Of canned goods, or forty cars of
American canned fruit. They own
fifteen fast boats on the great lakes
who are engaged in earring the freight
of the Booth company between points
on the great lakes. They do, they
say, the largest express business OF
any concern in the United States,
their fresh goods requiring rapid tran
sit. and being always shipped by ex-
press. The Booth company onws three
of the largest canning factories in the
country. The factory at Baltimore
emnlovs several thousand men. and
the pay roll amounts to $1,000 day

even worse than the correspondents de-

been unpaid since last March, but the

a European coalition to turn Great
Britain out of Egypt, the evacuation
of that country by the British tEapps
was probably never so remote as 1t is
now. Indeed, signs point to the pos
sible deposition of the khedive of
Egypt, whose attitude lately has not
been as submissive as the British
agent and minister plenipotentiary
Lord Cromer, desires, in which event
a British protectorate will inevitably
follow. Russia it is said. has effect
ually snubbed the French efforts to
make the Egyptian question a Euro
pean one.
The difficulties in West Africa, be-
tween the British and the French,
which were foreshadowed in dis
patches to the Associated Press on
Oct. 2, and which have been brewing
since 1889, are assuming the form of
the French expedition consisting of 500
soldiers and 1000 carriers, which has
started from Porto Novo, on the coast
of Dahomey, for Mikki, whence it pro-
ceedS to the Hinterland of Lagos, ac-
cording to reports; but it is said that
this movement is really to reinforce
the French troops, which are already
occupying Mikki, and does not augur
well for a smooth settlement of the
disputes, among which is the question
of the ownership of Mikki, and it is
possible the diplomatists will awake
to find themselves saved the trouble
of negotiations, by serious events on
the spot, for it is known that the Brit
ish colonial authorities are taking act
i've steps to prevent the French force
from encroaching upon British terri
tory. Further trouble may be added
to the situation by the fact that the
French officials are said to have
pressed natives of Lagos and their ca
%n he cynr too Of fI,n
AS Lagos is a British colony, this ac-
tion upon the part of the French is
not likely to pass without strong pro-
tests, at least.
Thus far, the Marquis of Salisbury,
or Mr.. Chamberlain, the secretary of
the state for colonies, who is generally
credited with being the power behind
the throne, at the present moment, has
not shown a sign of yielding an iota of
the British claims in the Hinterland,
and the authorities at Lagos have
been preparing for some time past to
circumvent the French plans. They
have already sent numerous reinforce
ments of troops and gunboats to the
front, and on Friday they ordered
Capt Frederick Lugart, thoroughly
experienced officer of the royal Niger
company, who has served in the Af-
CHAN war, the Soudan campaign and
the Burmez expedition, in addition to
seeing much service in Africa, to go
to the front. All the steamers from
Liverpool to the west coast of Africa
are taking officers, troops and large
quantities of munitions of war.
In addition to this attempt to colo
niaI expansion upon the part of the
French in West Africa, France is ap-
parently preparing to swallow the
kingdom of Siam. The Temps, organ
of the French foreign Office, enumer-
ates the points in difference Wth Siam
in such manner as to lead to the be-
lief that the French government in

has reported to the state department
by cable that he has met with COM

the vice consul had gone to look into

was ill-treated Taking advantage of
a treaty provision that affords protec-

cases, Minister Barrett demanded re-

Mr.. Barrett accompanied the commits
