MEXICAN TOBACCO.
Promises to Supplant the Cuban and
Sumatran Products.

From the Manufacturer.
The Mexican tobacco industry is in
a thriving condition and will supplant
the trade in Cuban and Sumatran pro-
ducts. Tobacco is indigenous to parts
of Mexico, and several native varie-
ties are still cultivated. but i'm Vera
Cruz, where most of the tobacco is
grown, stocks must be replenished re-
peatedly by Cuban seed, as the plants
deteriorate rapidly. The climate of the
gulf states of Mexico is similar to that
of Cuba, and they are in the same
latitude. Recently the Isthmus of Te-
huantepec has come to the front in to-
bacco raising. The soil there is deep
and fertile, just the thing for tobacco
culture, and without fertilizers yields
excellent crops. Throughout Mexico
the average yield of tobacco on fair
land is over 1000 pounds per acre, and
on poor land nearly half that amount.
During 1896 the total product was over
100000 pounds, and In 1897 it was
somewhat larger.
In 1896 the United States imported
s2s, 900 worth of Mexican tobacco, raw
and manufactured. In 1896 $2S7 900
was imported. In 1896 this tobacco was
worth 27 cents pound in New York.
while the importation in 1897 brought
40 cents per pound in the same market.
What the Cuban planters have lost
the Mexican growers are in a fair way
to gain. Were ii not for a prejudice
in the United States against Mexican
tobacco, whereby most of it Is sold as
Cuban, the imports would increase
enormously. This prejudice is gradually
disappearing, but at present the bulk
of the Mexican crop goes TO Amster-
dam, Hamburg and other European
ports. 1t is said that a voyage improves
the tobacco and gives it certain sea
tone" Mexican cigars brought by sea
to New York command as high a price
as the best Cuban cigars.
The output of Mexican tobacco is
likely to increase largely in the near
| future. as its commercial possibilities
| are attracting capital. especially in the
| southern provinces, where the soil is of

Camp Alger. Dunn Loring, Va, July
2e.--General Graham has ordered a
general parade of his corps for Sat-
urday, Aug. 6, and Secretary Alger has
consented to review it. General Gra-
ham was promised that his whole corps
would participate In the campaign
against Havana. AS there Is mighty
little likelihood of there being any
campaign against Havana and conse-
quently no opportunity of winning dis
tinction General Graham has deter
mined upon the next best thing to
show the war department that he has
been a star performer as the presid-
ing genius of a camp of instruction
and equipment.
When Secretary Alger sees the par
ade next Saturday and compares II
with the procession of raw recruits
that passed before the president and
himself on June 20 he will undoubtedly
award unreservedly the encnmums
which the corps commander seeks.

CUT TOO MANY CAPERS.
Why an EIoper Was Mistaken for a

CINCINNATI, o., Sept. %. - Dispatches
have been published from Marietta, o., in
timating that Hans Henry Capers, of New
York and New Orleans, who eloped from
Atlantic City last week with Agnes Perry
of Philadelphia, might be Frederick r.
Moore, who is wanted in Boston for alb
sconding with $4,000 while assistant teller
of the National Bank of Commerce. Mr.
and Mrs. Caper are spending their honey
moon in Cincinnati and have certainly es-
tablished their identity The trouble arose
over the unfortunate resemblance sof Mr.
Caper to Moore, and this suspicion was
strengthened at Marietta by Caper's ex-
travagance. The eloping couple were mar
ried at Marietta last Saturday and the
bridegroom had more money than the aver
age applicant for a marriage license He
was lavish with his means there, as he is
here at the st. Clair Hotel. Since their ar
rival here Mrs. Caper has written her
mother, at Philadelphia, and told her she
was married and happy. The bride has also
written her father, who is a surgeon in the
army, stationed at Knoxville, Tenn. The
bride is only sixteen years old and pretty

POPOCRATS BOLT.
Will Nominate Chicago Platform
Ticket at New York TO-Night.

-
SYRACUSE, N Y, Sept. 29.-The dele
gates of the Chicago platform Democracy,
at a meeting held at the City Hall, late last
night, to organize a bolt of the regular
Democratic ticket should the platform of
1896 be ignored, was split nearly even by a
bolt among it's own members. Dissatisfied
by a ruling of Chairman Henry M. McDon-
aid, of New York, half or nearly half of
the delegates, followed the lead of Calvin L.
Keach of Lansingburg and quit the hall
after meeting at which disorder prevailed
to an extent that the presiding officer was
powerless to control and motions and coun-
ter motions were lost in maze of parlia-
mentary entanglements. There were 1874
delegates present at the calling of the con-
ference, out of the $50 entitled to seats, on
the basis of three to each Senate district.
Resolutions were introduced providing that,
in the event of the Democratic state con-
vention ignoring the affirmation of the Chi
cago PLATFORM the committee on organiza-
tion. consisting of enc member from each
Senate district, meet within forty-eight
hours and select candidates for all places
on the state ticket and secure signatures
to place such candidates in nomination.
Discussion of the resolutions led to much
bad feeling and finally, on the chair de-
claring motion to table the resolutions
lost, Mr. Reach and his followers took UNI
bragg and bolted the conference, and those
who remained adopted the resolution.
Another meeting was held to-day, after
the report of tire regular committee on

the instruction of the conference which
requires that full ticket be nominated

SENATOR CHANDELIERS VIEWS.
He Thinks Spain should Surrender All
the Philippines.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The reports
from Manila that Aguinaldo would to-day
hold a grand ceremony to proclaim the Re-
public of the Philippines, with himself at
the head, has not been made known to
Agoncillo. head of the Philippine delegation
here He said to-day, through his secretary
and interpreter. Mr. Lopez. that reports of
more or less important character had come
to them ever since they had landed, but
they were without official verifcation as to
any of these steps and this largely ac-
counted for their inactivity, as they desired
to know exactly what resolutions and pol
icies had been adopted by the Philippine
congress. They looked for a cable at any
time in response to inquiries which would
show just what the present status of af-
fairs was.
Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire. who
is taking a personal interest in the Philip
pine question, and General Greene who ac-
companied Agoncillo on his trip here, had
a long conference with him to-day. Senator
Chandler said afterwards that there was no
doubt the President would receive the dele
cation, the delay being due to the desire
of the delegates to get full information on
the condition of affairs at home They had
come a long way and the senator felt they
were in a position to give the authorities
here much intelligent information on the
people and the affairs of those with whom
we are now brought into such close rela-
tions. When asked to sum up the desires of
the Philippine delegates Mr.. Chandler said:
"The first and most essential purpose is to
have the treaty Of Paris-the final treaty
which will stand for all time-contain an ar
ticle terminating absolutely the sovereignty
of Spain over the Philippines. 1t is not
alone the termination of Spanish sovereignty
over the Island of Luzon or Manila that
they desire, but the end of Spanish rule
over the entire group of islands. And it is
conceded that if Spanish sovereignty is to
be brought to an end over the Island of
Luzon it should also be brought to an end
over the whole archipelago, for 1t would not
do to dispossess Spain of the Island Of
Luzon and still leave her free to transfer
adjacent islands to Germany or other for
eign powers. The disappearance of Spanish
rule from the Philippines being assured, the
next purpose of the FfIipinos, 1 gather
from their delegates, is to have an oppor-
tunity to try their capacity of self-govern-
ment, under American protection, If need
be, during the TRANSITION period, or if that
seems inexpedient then they want this
government to assume the direction and
control Of affairs by annexation or such
other method as may best meet the condi-
tion Of affairs. They seem to feel satisfied
that the question of future rule can be
solved without difficulty after the first great
end of terminating Spanish rule is brought
about"
