Colonel John S. Harwood, chairman OF
the National Legislative Committee. has
been naturally urged TO continue his eI-
forts in the endeavor TO secure the estaD-
lishment of the Department Of Commerce
and Manufacture in the National Govern
nent and has APPOINTED as his sub-chalr-
man Mr.. ]. c. Simmering. OF Baltimore
who has visited Washington in the inter-
est of the passage Of such bill, and has
gotten the consent of Senator McCoIhdS
10 Introduce the bill, and the Senator has
interviewed President William Mckinley,
setting forth the fact that as there are
other departments represented in the
Cabinet. the Department of Commerce
and Manufacture should also be en-
braced. as this feature Is important TO
be looked after. As soon as this bill Is
introduced the sub-charman, Mr. SIM
mering. will make IL known to the T. L.
AS. and they will then request their ma
tional chairman Of the Legislative Com
mittee to visit Washington in its interest.
As IL requires sixty days for all amend
ments which are desired to be brought
before the convention. 10 be sent In, II
is getting near the time for the cOnsldera-
ton OF such changes as may arise IN Inc
minds OF the members, and their atten-
ton IS hereby called 10 TINS lact' because
so many members wait until after this
ideas which would be OF value 10 the
association at large. and If such changes
time and find IL hard TO even suggest
are contemplated, think over them be-
tween now and February. But. II is hard
to make any Improvement in the Consh-
tuition as il now stands. IL Is the COM
position Of wise thought and mature de-
liberation.
The list OF indemnity claims have been
quite large this year, but they have been
met promptly and to the satisfaction or
the claimants. Virginia. too, has this
year received benefits from this source.
During the past month many large claims
have been made and have been paid;
among them owen ID. Minor, $5i.2S; VIII
Wilde, $S21f: A. A. Splitter, 500; l.. G.
Younger $3.50. and others.
The II. L. AS and his friends generally
sympathize with Mr. j. II. Capers, Jr.,
one of the Board of Directors Of Post \
and member of the House Committee, In
the loss Of his left eye by an accident
while travelling on a sleeplng-car I'm West
Virginia some weeks ago. No more ac-
five or jealous member ever Joined the
II p A. ranks than Mr. Capers, and his
services have been valuable 20 the asso-
citation.
MIR. r. w. Sydnor also has the SYM
pathy OF the post in his accident. he hav-
ing been bitten by a ferocious dog. When
their papers are received the national oiii-
GERS will take action upon them ana make
final adjustment. =.

In the T. p. A. News Letter, the official
organ Of the association, the records
show gains for July to October. inclu-
sive, Of this year, 273 over 1898. This is
not only for the group OF months, but
for each month healthy increase over
the corresponding months Of last year.
The best part Of it all is the fact that
II does not apply to any particular sec
ton. but IS general. which indicates that
the membership generally is realizing the
importance Of individual work all along
the line. While this good work has been
done generally. some divisions have ex-
ceiled Virginia has been particularly
aggressive. and shows a net increase
over November, 1898, of 10. In the roll
of honor for States for members securing
applications. many names appear under
that of Virginia. one Virginian leads all
the country in securing the largest num-
Der. and another Virginian stands fourth
on the list.

travelling man wants all the improve
ments and comforts of transportation,
and the railroads want the influence Of

carnivals. and other attractions, and the
r. p. AS on these occasions realized the
necessity of taking an active part In pro-

In some cases they have had special

Post A and Virginia Division have in
creased their membership very materially
this year, and they have been very much
honored by words of commentator from
the national officers. President Saun-
ders has shown considerable zeal in push
ing forward the work done In the VIZ

Divided on the Question
Row in Conference.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. "a meeting OF
the Chicago platform democrats OF New
York state was called to order here at II: 30
a. m. today, with fifty delegates in attend
ance.
A fight was precipltated on the floor. The
antitrust and antiimperialism factions
were on one side and the ultra free silver
faction on the other. Samuel Odell OF Au-
burn and Austin Wheelock of Geneva led
the fight for the antitrust people. Thomas
w. Cantwell of Albany and Jay w. Forest
OF Niagara Falls led the silver side.
The substance OF the resolutions introduced
by Mr.. Odell declares that the opposition to
trusts and imperialism should be the para
mount issue in the campaign of 1900. The
election OF United States senators by the di-
rect vote of the people is also advocated.

GETTING ARMS TO THE REBELS
Agents I'm This Country Negotiating
for the Purchase of
Steam Tugs.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. "a morning
paper says: Three officers representing the in
surgents of Santo Domingo and two civilians,
representing the insurgents who do not like
the manner in which President Sam manages
affairs in Hayti, have been here three days
endeavoring to find vessels to carry NUM-
tions of war recently purchased in New
Haven. To avoid suspicion all the mem
bers of the party crossed the Windward
passage in small boats and embarked on a
steamship at Guantanamo, landing last week
in New York.
Those from Santo Domingo were delayed by
the capsizing of a boat. They claim that
there is little danger in landing c~ontraband
war material anywhere o the coast of
either country except near the principal
ports, as the coasts are not patroled, be-
cause neither OF the governments has war
vessels to do the work. What they claim
are needed are small steam tugs TO take out
their purchases and to land cargoes de-
posted on the eastern shores of Cuba some
months ago. The tugs have been selected
and the onry thing that prevents their sale
is a difference as to the price. which 1t is
thought will soon be settled.

NO INDEPENDENCE IN CUBA
havana Editor, Whose Paper is Sup
pressed, on the Way to WASH
ington to Make Complaint.

NEW YORK, Aug. "a. Cervantes, edi-
tor, and Ricardo Arnauto, manager Of FL
Reconcentrado, the suppressed Havana
ington to complain Of their wrongs, have
ISSUED a joint statement, as follows:
"El Reconcentrado was in existence long
before the war between America and Spain
had begun. Because of the radical and
liberty-loving policy Of the paper the Span
ish officers thought we'll to suppress the
paper, and for a time its. regular issues
ceased. 1t was only on July 81, and by
order of General Ludlow OF, the American
army that the office was finally closed. Ell
Reconcentrado was an Independent organ
and at the same time was the only recog-
nized organ of the Cuban army.
To-day there Is no independence in Cuba
and l cannot be led to believe, after my
experience as an editor, that the American
flag floats over the island OF Cuba. In
fact, many of the inhabitants still think
that the Spanish emblem floats over Moro
castle. They have no reason to know any
difference"
Messrs. Cervantes and Arnauto say they
entertain no animosity against General Lud-
Mayor Lacoste. At present Jose Martos,
one OF the editors, is serving twenty days
imprisonment in the Havana fortress, while
Editor Jose Demora OF Ell Guacamayo,
which was opposed to the methods of the
police, is also serving sixty days in the
bastile.
