shades Of faith like a thunderbolt and
q variety of explanations were given
and discussed throughout the day
Secretary of the Commonwealth David
Martin said he knew nothing beyond

acquires additional significance from
the fact that 1t comes in the midst OF

election to the senate.

A GIGANTIC PROJECT.
Attempt Being Made to Unite Warshr
Interests Into Great Syndicate.


Cleveland. Oct S---An evening paper
says; "One Of the most gigantic pro-
jects for the combination of capital in
the history of the country is being en-
gineered in this city.
1T is nothing less than an attempt to
unite the war ship building interests
and the armor plate and gun making
interests of the world into one great
syndicate, whose factories shall be To-
Gated near Cleveland. Men of interna-
tional reputation In the financial and
manufacturing world are in the deal.
All summer foreigners Of wealth and
rank have been quietly visiting CIeve-
land. Their going and coming has been
kept as mysterious as possible.
1T is believed that every ship build
ing, gun making and arnor plate maxi
ing firm in the United States has been
in the negotiations. The projectors
claim they can raise capital of $500, :
100000. One of their fond dreams,
which may or may not become a real
ity, is said to be the securing of canal
from the great lakes to the sea all on
United States territory The yards for
building warships could then be located
on the lakes.
Among the Clevelanders who are in
the zeal IS SdlQ TO DG Col. 0yIOn Il.
Herrick, and Robert Wallace, president
of the Cleveland Ship Building Com
pany. DR.. Calling, the famous inven-
! tor of guns, has been here in conference
with other men in the deal. The for
eigners who visited the city were taken
to the Otis works and examined the big
| plant carefully. Armstrong, the inven-
] tor of the sAs~ which bears his name,
I has also been here. Andrew Carnegie
is one of the men in the negotiations.
The new combine may need his armor
plate factory. Robert Wallace is now
in the west with several'of the foreign
ers who visited Cleveland. Before he
returns he will stop in San Francisco
and the proprletors Of the Union Iron
| Works, which built the Dattleship Ore
! gon, will be approached as to whether
| they will come into the deal. Some
time ago, Murray A. Werner Of Pitts
burg, promoter who has engineered
many deals for Carnegie, was in Cleve-
Hand, and took up the great project with
local men,"
Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 3.-The gigantic
combination of warship builders alleged
to have been practically consummatec
| at Cleveland, is pooh poohed by every
one here supposed to be connected with
the scheme. The Carnegie company Off.
