A NEW INDUSTRY.
IL VIII Keep Many Hands Busy in
PCuusylvn min

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
There have been many speculations
as to the means of support of Penn
syiVania's millions of people when the
states store of anthracite coal has
been exhausted and her iron and steel
industries are attacked by southern
competition in the same way that the
New England cotton industry has been
attacked. The establishment and rapid
growth of the cement industry in Penn
sylvania is a hopeful augury for that
future time when other industries shall
fall The Pennsylvania limestone so
long used in the making of iron is now
being used also in the making of Port
land cement. In the United States
there are now thirty factories making
cement the output being 2,25O,O00 bar
rels annually. This industry has been
almost entirely developed within the
last ten years, and the greatest devel-
opment has been in PENNSYLVANIA.
where the limestone is almost free from
magnesa and makes cement equal
i'm every respect to the imported article.
The country is now producing nearly
as many barrels of cement q year as
were imported in 1896. While the i'm
home product of Portland cement has
steadily grown from 454,S13 barrels in
1891. 547, ,44O barrels in 1892, 590G52 bar
rels in 1898, 79S,757 barrels in 1894 to
$780, 1924 barrels in 1885,. and of this guam
tity Pennsylvania produced more than
one-half. This state makes less rock
cement than other states. but Portland
cement is taking the place of rock ce-
ment everywhere. In 1894 Germany
made 13000,0 900 barrels of Portland ce-
ment and exported over 1000, 900 barrels,
representing n value Of nearly $4,000, 900
an enormous sum to be derived from a
minor industry.
The report of the geological survey of
1895 said that to meet the increased de-
mand for Portland cement in this coun-
try it would be necessary to establish
every year a new factory with a pro-
duct of 1000 barrels a day. 1t is worth
recording that the cement masonry at
Williamsport was the only work Of the
kind not destroyed by the great Sus-
quehanna flood Of 1889.

THE DEBATE GOES ON,
No Conclusion Yet Reached In the
Hawaiian Discussion.

Washington. July 1.-For nearly six
hours today the senate had under dis
cussion the Hawaiian annexation reso-
lutions. The first formal speech in
favor of the resolutions were delivered
by Mr. Petus Ucnl., Ala) His address
was strong and patriotic. AS a Demo-
crat he maintained that the question
was in no sense party issue but the
proposition was one which ought to
coTmand.in the circumstances the sup
port of men of all parties. He had
heated colloquy with Mr.. Caffrey (Dem..
Lao, iE the course of which the latter
intimated that the Alabama senator
was afflicted with senlity. Mr. Pettus'
retort was vigorous and resentful of
what he termed an insult. Mr.. Caf-
frey subsequently disclaimed any in
tention of insulting Mr.. Pettus
Mr.. Mallory Dem., Fla.) presented n
constitutional argument against the
acquisition of territory by joint reso-
luton of congress.
Today's session of the house was of
little legislative interest. \ few pri-
vate bills were passed and some confer
ence reports Of minor importance were
adopted. Adjournment was taken un-
til Tuesday.

Chicago, July Levi u. Letter has
completed negotiations with the North

In completing the details of the loan,
Mr.. Letter informed the agents of the

entirely, consumed by his speculation.

anything of interest that could be given to

able from other sources. however, strong
ly indicated that the important military
movement now in progress would be
directed against Santiago and in co-opera-
ton with the fleet under Commodore
Schley and the allied insurgent forces
Our forces were expected to speedily cap
ture the city of Santiago and the fleet or
destroy both. 1t was also intimated from
high sources that the landing expedition
now embarking at Key West might be
divided and one division sent to cooper
ate with Admiral Sampson against Porto
Rico. 1t was believed the government
had enough regulars and well seasoned
volunteers to carry out both Of these
plans to a successful issue. Transports
in sufficient numbers and capacity had al
ready been secured and 1t was the opin-
