EXPLORERS OF THE SOUTH SEA.
SIR George Ae1neS Has n Letter
FrOEa norchareNinb

From BorchGreYinI>
London. Feb A letter has been re-
ceived by Sir George Newnes from the ex-
plorer BorchgrevinE. who is now sailing
in the ship Southern Cross to explore The
unknown regions around the South Pole.
1t is dated Hobart Town. Tasmania. the
last port touched by Borchgrevink, and
where he cut loose from civilization for
perhaps several years
'All has gone well so far. Our voyage
out was quicker than l had expected The
Southern Cross proved herself equal to nv
expectations An excellent discipline rules
on board, and | venture TO believe also a
very good feeling among officers and men
We have had magnificent reception
here in Hobart. The Tasmanian govern
ment has been very courteous indeed We
leave now with the best of hopes for the
success of the expedition which have the
honor to command.
Excellent work has been done on board
during our way out in regard to maps,
geological collections, etc. Over sixty
characteristic specimens of birds are placed
in the Hobart museum for keeping until
our return. They are very well preserved
and will have a great value for the British
Museum

Of the voyage from London to Victoria
Land

DFMAED FOR STEEL CARS.
Carnegie Company Has Order:

Carnegie Company Has Orders
Amounting tn SG,0o0.O00.
Pittsburg. Feb. 1.-THE Carnegie Steel
Company has booked contracts for steel
freight cars amounting TO about $4,000, coo.
One order from the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad was for 1900 steel hopper and
gondola cars. The Baltimore and Ohio
contract is worth almost S2,oC0. 900.
The orders show the remarkable changes
from wood to the metal car as a freight
carrier. That the day of the wooden car is
passing railroad men say is evident from
the action of the leading trunk lines in
specifying that all new hopper, gondola
and fat cars for mineral traffic shall be OF
steel construction. The Pennsylvania. Ohio,
West Virginia and Illinois lines have been
the first to adopt the steel car for coal
and ore.
The new industry is so promising that
the Carnegie Company has decided to
make steel-car building one OF the prin-
cipal branches of its business. and Will
invest millions in additional steel works
rolling mills and shops. The demand for
the steel cars is such that orders have been
given to the Carnegie Company before its
plant is in operation.

Philadelphia, Feb. 4.-The latest trust

turers and jobbers of plumbers supplies.
About fifty of the largest concerns in New
York, Philadelphia. Chicago. st. Louis.
Boston. Cincinnati, and other centres OF
the trade have agreed to enter the syndi-
cate, which will be incorporated with a
capital stock Of $50, Gee, eco. 1t is intended
to have the trust in working order within
one month.
Among the concerns actively interest
ed in bringing about the combination are
Dimick. Fink & Co.; F. N. Dubois, Col
well Lead Company, Leroy Shot and Lead
Works, j. L. Mott iron Works, Ronalds &
Johnson Company, of New York; J. B.

lished as Senator Hoar affirms our duty
to be. 1t might mean, probably would
mean, foreign protectorate. Perhaps the
minority Senator's would welcome this, but
there can be no doubt that it would give
an enormous advantage to our chief rival
for industrial supremacy. Germany and
America have entered into a sharp struggle
for the worlds markets with England
doomed to third place. Something of the
possibilities of Philippine resources and
commerce we may guess. That they are
enormous is beyond ali doubt, in spite OF
the ignorance displayed BY so gifted an
attorney for the opposition as ex-senator
Edmunds. Germany would consider them
a tremendous advantage. That we cannot
afford TO surrender them for no adequate
reason is affirmed by the National Manu-
facturers' Association and by leading
business men. The only fear expressed by
the opponents of expansion is that of Mr..
Bryan-that the Filipinos might immigrate
to America and enter into competition
with American labor. If we consider the
prosperity that is bound to come to the
Philippines under the influence of Ameri-
can institutions, capital enterprise, and
energy; the ease of living there, and the
natural hatred Of colder climate by the
natives; the increased demand for labor
with the development of mining, agricul-
ture. and other interests, we are not likely
to believe in the fears of a Filipino in
vasion of this country. On what ground,
then, can we hesitate 10 accept a respon-
sibility the rejection of which would plunge
the Philippines into domestic war, with
the danger of having apother foreign yoke
on the necks of the people, and TO our
own industrial and commercial loss? The
minority Senators still harp on the techni-
cality OF lack of constitutional authority
for what has been done before-an objec-
ton that is at the very best problematical,
and which has been dismissed as worthless
by Justice of the Supreme Court If, by
any chance, the Treaty should not be rati-
fed with the first vote the people will re-
quire clearer reason than has been of
fered yet for the opposition, and they have
d right to demand il.
