ABANDON THE EXHIBIT
The Home Products Display Not the
Anticipated Success

The board of directors of the Merchants
and Manufacturers association last even
ing decided to permanently close the Hall
of Industry and abandon the home products
exhibition on July 1st. This step was taken
after mature deliberation and through the
lack of appreciation on the part of local
manufacturers. During Its five months
existence the exhibition has been visited
by not less than $4,000 people and some of
the exhibitors have received substantial
benefits from their displays. The board
of directors expected that the practical
method of bringing the home manufac-
trred article directly to the notice of the
consumers would appeal to the manufac-
turcr as the strongest advertisement for
their goods and for that reason entertain
ments and attractions were inaugurated
to bring the public to the Hall of Industry
and make the exhibition popular. The lat
ter efforts were successful, but after many
appeals have been made to manufacture
ers 1t was found they failed to realize the
advantage of making an exhibit. A spe-
cial committee consisting of Directors Her.
ron, Burnham and Secretary Zeehandelaar
was appointed to secure new quarters for
the association.
The secretary was instructed to prepare
an invitation to the National Educationl
association to hold its next meeting In this
city.
The following new members were elected:
H. Newmark & Co., Samuel Stein. Chas.
W. Palm & Co., Thomas Pascoe, r. o.
Johnson and J. A. Harrington.

SNAP SHOTS AT THE CONVENTION

FURTHER, that we are encouraged by the
evidently increasing sentiment in favor of

tist Young Peoples union, Y. p. S. c. e.
and the education of the children In our
public schools in regard to this effect Of mar
cotics ana alcoholic liquors and in these
"signs" we can see the sure oh-com.ng of
the triumph of our cause
l. II. Commack of Whittier then ad-
dressed the convention. He said that he
objected to the supporting of war according
to the Prohibition platform, which is in
hearty favor of supporting the government
in the present contest, and pledges it's ad-
herents to that end. 81 am persuaded, !"
said he, that General Sherman knew what
he was talking about when he said War is
hell am content to call 1t such. but I
cannot endorse an endorsement of war if
that is what 1t meant, for the first and last
reasons. 1 believe God can attend to his
plans of vengeance better than or congress.
SO decline to meddle with Gods business"

A brief response to this address was
made by Rev. T. A. Cowan of Pasadena, In

nacks interpretations. ProhilDtionists in
sst upon non-reslstance for personal inter-
ests, and at the same time upon the mos.
aggressive assertion in favor of principles
and the rights of humanity, therefore a war
for self interest Isl essentially wrong. but
a war in behalf of righteousness and hui
manity is essentially righteous. Believing
the present war to be waged In behalf of
humanity, it deserves our most hearty ap-
proval.

DEMONSTRATING Reception to
the Delegates

Los Angeles may well be proud of her
chamber of commerce. proud of it's mag
nificent display Of fruit, vegetables, cere-
ais, etc., which can be produced in such
variety and such perfection in no other
state in the union, and proud of its Sec
retary and manager, Frank Virgins, who
has done so much toward its upbuilding.
With the purpose of extending courtesy
to the many Endeavorers still in the city,
Secretary Virgins arranged a reception in
their honor. which was given last night.
The rooms were gorgeous in their artistic
decorations. In the main hall fifty large
flags were arranged in various ways about
the walls and ceiling. while the great tables
of fruit were further beautifed by pro-
fusion of choice flowers, and great Jars of
gladioli; rare dahlias and striped grasses
were placed effectively about. The men,
bers' club room was exquisite in its drap-
ings Of fishnet, studded with pepper leaves,
scarlet geraniums and dainty little white
chrysanthemums, and a handsome large
table in the middle of the room held pro-
fusion Of rare blossoms. The directors
room, where the refreshments were served
was gay In the colors of Old Glory, with
bunting arranged from the ceiling
and across from wall to wall, and a great
flag suspended in each corner. On the table
were sweet peas in careless profusion and
vases of pink carnations and white roses

paid for his extra labor in the constant
babel of expressions complimentary.
Everything was admired, from the big
stalked onions to the elephant, and "Old
Arizona" the turtle which has been a
resident of the chamber for eight years,
| received his share of attention. "a.

London. May ga dispatch from Mad
rid to the Central News says that Senior
Sagasta in an interview with a Central
News correspondent last evening said that
as matters stood at present a naval en-
gagement in Cuban waters was extreme
ly improbable and in all likelihood would
be indefinitely postponed.
The current rumors of fighting were un-
:. founded, he said. Admiral Cervera's s
. squadron was safe in the harbor of San
/. tiago and would remain there while the
ships were coaled, cleaned and gotten
into trim This work would be carried
out leisurely in pursuance of a well-de-
> fined plan agreed upon by the naval au-
thorities. There would not be fight at
Santiago the Premier said, unless Ad.
miral Cevera desired it
The Americans would find the Santiago
forts and the ships in the harbor very
different from those destroyed by Ad-
miral Dewey's squadron at Manila, over
!. which victory the Americans are Growing
20 loudly.
The Americans. he declared, would not
fight when the odds appeared against
them and when they faced guns of equal
caliber of their own. They dare not at
tack Santiago and If the Americans are
awaiting a naval battle before they at
tempt an invasion of Cuba they will need
Q considerable amount of patience.

ALLIANCE A cHIMERA.
Prof. Goldwin Smith Sees No Pros
pcct of a Successful Agreement.

Prof. Goldwin Smith Sees No Prox-
pcct of a Successful Agreement.
Toronto, May 26.-Prof. Goldwin Smith, writing
on the proposed Anglo American alliance, fails to
the wisdom practicability Of it, There are
sixty millions roughly speaking, Of genuine An
glo-Saxons and about an equal number Of Irish.
Highland or Welsh Celts. French, Germans, Scan
dinavians, negroes, Jews, and other people Of
miscellaneous origin, with a corresponding d.
versity of ideas and tendencies. He asks what
would be the commercial basis between protec-
ZIONIST America and free-trade Britain, and con.
cludes that without definite objects no such al
lance or combination could be held together.
He secs in the American Constitution an objec-
tion to an. alliance. In Great Britain there is
continuity Of policy, while the Washington Gov
ernment is completely changed at the end Of each
Presidential term. HowAcould the British cabinet
adapt its actions to these rotations? There would
be serious danger Of divergence, which would
make relations worse than they were before.
British need of support in China and American
need Of sympathy in the war have produced an
improvement of feeling. The vague talk Of An
glo- American alliance will presently find its way
into the same Limbo as the vague talk of imperial
federation which has been general for years with
out leading to any practical result.
Writing on the war, Goldwin Smith predicts
victory for the United States over Spain He says
II Admiral Cervera has locked himself up in San
tiago harbor it seems that he has repeated the
error of his Spanish predecessor at Havana when
that port was taken by the British. He probably
feels that he has chance in battle.
The thing which makes the issue of the war GER
and resources, is the rottenness OF the Spanish
service, and perhaps even more the vast superb
ority of Americans in mechanical skill, which is
how the decisive factor in naval warfare.
