PAISLEY. Scotland, June l3.-It is ru-
mored here that an American syndicate Is
seeking a site for thread mills but careful
inquiries among the leading men OF the town
fail to elicit any definite Information. Moth
ing p stive is known.
GLASGOW, June l3.-The most careful in
quiries among the leading cotton dealers do
not Justify a confirmation or a contradiction
of the report that an American syndicate has
completed arrangements whereby it Will
shortly begin the operations Of large thread
mills at Paisley to compete with the thread
manufacturing establishment of j. and r.
Coats & Co. 1t is generally admitted that
the high prices now prevailing would ofTer
a tempting iuduccment to such an enter
prise but the opinion of those best qualified
to Judge is that the project would be ven
turesUmc, owing to the wide connection en-
| joyod by the thread manufacturers of Pas
! ley. If an opposition to the thread industry
were threatened 1t is thought that the
Americans would be more likely to begin
operations at home for 1t is known that
arrangements are almost completed for a
thread agency here absorbing the Whitman
tic (Conn) mills. As the Mile End Spool
company's works were acquired some time
ago, 1t follows that there is now only one
important mill on the other side.

Electricians Show Deep Interest in
the Grcnt Exn0sitinn.


NIAGARA FALLS. n. Y, June 13.-
(Special.) l.)-Thc twentieth annual meeting Of
the National Electric Light association, just
adjourned, was one of the most successful
in it history. More than 500 representative
central station managers and electricians
were in attendance and the papers presented
were of the highest order of merit. An
Official invitation was extended the associ-
alton by Prof, r. B. Owens of the State
university at Lincoln to hold its next
annual meeting in Omaha in connection with
the Transmissssippi Exposition and was
cordially received. The newly elected presi-
dent, Mr. Samuel insult Of Chicago, is man
of the highest executive ability aud has
more than a national reputation for his de-
velopment and successful operation OF the
largest central electric Lighting station in
the world, the Edison Electric Light plant
Of Chicago. The election of western man
as president insures that the next meeting
will be held in the west, and as the Chicago
membership is favorable to Omaha The Sc
lection of the Exposition City as the place
Of the next meeting is generally conceded.
Mr.. T.. Rosewater, who was present, wac
widely consulted in regard to the exposition
and his explanations OF che aim, scope and
resources created great interest and conf
dence. In this connection 1t may be men
toned that Prof Owens has already received
applica lions for space in the electricity build
ing from the Wagner Electric Manufactur-
ing company of St. Louis, tho Okonite com
pany, limited, of New York, the Cutter Man
ufacturing company of Philadelphia and
others. Prof. Elihu Thomson has promised

atus shown at the worlds fair and similar
exhibits are promised by Mr.. Charles Stein

tenant George Owen Squire, who was also
in attendance. has promised 60 exhibit his
syncronograph In all It's completeness. This
instrument, 1t will be remembered, tranmits
from 1900 to 5000 words per minute, with
the same casa and accuracy with which one
hundredth of that number Is now sent, and
II the careful judgment OF acknowledged
authorities is admitted, we are on the eve Of
a revolution in methods Of intelligence trans

ing else than the thorough Americanization
of ito members this achievement alone

pie. and the benefits derived would thus
be incalculable to the nation. The conVen-
ton then took a recess until afternoon,

WATCHING FOR FILIBUSTERS
Spain Notifies state Department of
Expedition About to start.

WASHINGTON. June 13.-The Treasury
department has received by reference from
the secretary of state a communication from
the Spanish minister to the effect that he
has information that an important hlibust-
ering expedition is being organized on the
coast of Florida and asks that steps be taken
to Illustrate it, No particulars are given,
so that all the action that could be taken
by the department was to communicate this
information to all collectors and masters of
the patrol fleet on the Florida coast with
instructions to be on the alert to prevent
the departure of an expected expedition.
This was done today by telegraph.
1t developed later that the department has
specific information of a shipment OF arms
and ammunition for what promises TO be
one of the most importsnt filibusterlng ex-
petitions for several months. A carload OF
arms left Jacksonville Friday morning by
the Florida East Coast railroad and passed
near Smyrna southbound. A second car
load OF rifles and dynamite left Jacksonville
Saturday morning on The regular freight
train with the probable purpose Of trans
ferring to some vessel on the east coast,
probably the yacht Valusia, which has been
engaged to transfer these munitions from
the railways TO the vessel destined for Cuba.
1t is probable that the vessel which will re-
ceive these arms will not come close TO
shore,
