PITTSBURG, Pa, December Is
The National Tin Plate Company,
chartered under the laws of West Vir-
ginia, organized to-day in the office of
W. e. Tustin, Bissell Block, this city.
The nominal capital, $1,000, was in
creased to $5,O00,000, and several
wealthy men stated they would take
all the stock, so that none will be
placed ON the market. ]. c. Mcdowell,
treasurer of the Philadelphia Company,
also recognized as representative of
the Standard Oil Company, was elected
treasurer of the company, with the fol-
lowing board of directors: Ezx-Gover-
nor James A. Beaver, Bellfonte, Pa;
Wheeling, and A. B. Daily, Pittsburg.
A site and cash bonus has been offered
the company on the Monongahela river,
above Pittsburg, but the donners were
informed that the directors were not
ready to take up the matter of location.
1t is not quite settled whether the COM
pany will sell their patents or operate
under royalties. 1t was admitted that
several offers were under consideration.
Ex-Governor Beaver said Of the pro-
ject:
I'VE have not quite settled what
course to pursue. Several years ago l
took UP the Rogers patents, erected an
experimental plant in Bellefonte, and
satisfied myself that the process will
make a great saving on the present
system of making timed plates. 1t
also makes better quality of plates. :"

"Delagoa Bay is the residence OF Herr

eral for the Transvaal and consul for

1T is openly asserted that Pott has

Gals and the German forwarding
agents.
If Delagoa Bay is closed the Beers

Wholesale Grocers Meet.

CHICAGO, December 2S.-A special meet
ing of the Wholesale Grocers' Association,
called by President H. d. Lee, was held
here to-day to take action on the alleged
hostile position toward jobbers assumed by
the Glucose Syrup Refining Company,
known as the Glucose Trust. Representa-
tives of many of the largest wholesale gro
Gerry houses in the West and South were
present when the meeting was called to
order. The cause of the action on the part
of the wholesalers was a circular issued
by the Glucose Company year ago noti-
flying the jobbers that the cash discount
would be abolished and the guarantee of
goods withdrawn after January l, 1900 The
wholesalers declare they hold themselves
responsible to the retailers for the condi-
ton of the syrup and other goods sold and
they expect the same consideration from
the manufacturers. A vigorous protest
against the action of the Glucose company
will be made before the wholesalers submit
to the order.

PARIS, December 28.-The pubfica-
ton by the Lokalanzelger, Of Berlin, oa
the secret treaty between Germany
Portugal and Great Britain providing
for the partition OF the Portuguese
colonies, meets with no credence in
official circles here. A foreign official
said to a representative OF the Asso-
ciated Press that their adyices from
Portugal and Germany left no doubt
that the publication was largely inven-
ton. They could not believe Portu-
gal would sign treaty stripping her
self Of her colonies and so far-reaching
and harmful to Portugal
Notwithstanding the denial OF the
French foreign Office. 1t is believed in
other quearters that an agreement be-
tween Great Britain and Germany may
exist outside OF the understanding ar
rived at between them this year as an
outcome of the negotiations to build q
telegraph line connecting Cape Town
with Cairo.

Mason, of the assay office, has not yet

ancy between Wall street announcements

pers covering the Goldman, Sachs & Com
pany shipment of S1,550000 were filed. I'm

LONDON, December ga dispatch
to the Daily Mail from Pietermaritz-
burg, dated Saturday, December 23d,
says:
Every day reveals some new facts
regarding the strength of the BoerS po-
sition at Colenso. Thanks to the SER
vices Of continental officers, the char
acter of the campaign has changed. We
are no longer fighting foe who relies
upon guerilla tactics, but what we have
to deal with is rapidly becoming a dis
ciplined army, enjoying the advantages
of knowing the country and of select
ing the scene of contest without the
burdens of cumbersome commissar-
lat.
1.-THE Beers have converted the hills
near Colenso into fOrtresses of i'm
mense strength. Everywhere they
have splendid trenches, many of them
bomb-proof. Tramway lines permit
the shifting of guns with astonishing
rapidity. The main positions are con-
nected with the outlying positions by
underground passages and the forts
proper bristle with machine guns, that
command the approaches. Probably
mines are laid.
Zone hears little nowadays about
Boer shells not bursting. Observers of
the Colenso fight say the Boer she'll fire
was very effective. This is due large
ly to the fact that the distances are
marked off with white paint.
"The enemy's discipline is improv-
ing. The trenches represent great
manual labor, for which the Beers have
keen dislike and the way in which
they restrain their fire when our troops
were advancing is another proof of
improved soldering"

NEW YORK, December 2S.-Actual
charge of the affairs of the Produce

to-day by Edwin Gould and Gen. Sam

president, respectively, of the reorgan-
lied committee. They were at the Off
ces of the company all day examining

pertaining to the administration of the
company up to the time of its suspen-
sion. There will probably be meet
ing of the stockholders tomorrow and
likely as not the new executive COM
mfttee will be named. 1t was said on
good authority to-day that some of the
committeeman who resigned Wednes>

to have made assurances that fully So

Beers scampered back into the hills.
The British patrols sighted the enemy
in force on the extreme left. Nine
Beers were killed in a skirmish that
followed and six Boer wagons were

Immense Ore Shipments.

CLEVELAND, o., December 2S.-
The Marine Review says:
An output of 1S,500,O00 gross tons
of iron ore is to be credited to the Lake
Superior region for the year 1899. Off
cial returns from dock managers at all
the shipping ports show a total move
ment by water of 17,901,95S tons, to
which will be added 500, 900 to 600 900
tons of all rail shipments. The great
increase in lake commerce during the
past year will be understood when it
is noted that the ore movement alone
is 80 per cent. in excess of 1898. The
total movement, lake and rail, in 1898
was 14,024,673 tons; 1897, 12,469, 1888
tons, and in 1896, 9,934,S2S tons, so that
there has been almost a doubling up
OF shipments in four years.

4 Flat Denial.

BERLIN, December 2S.-Regarding
the statement by the Lokal Anzeiger
that a secret Anglo-German-Portu
guese treaty exists for the division Of
the Portuguese colonies in South At
RIGA, the correspondent of the Associa-
ted Press is able to assert on the high
est authority that the story is a pure
fictition and is in all is claim without
foundation in fact. The high official
who authorizes this denial made the fol-
lowing declarations:
There is no objection to stating that
the understanding had between Great
Britain, Germany and Portugal refers
only to Africa and leaves Asia wholly
out of the account. 1t is quite certain.
however, that Germany under no con-
sideration, would conclude such a bar
gain with Portugal as the Lokal An
zeiger sets forth. Any one with the
slightest political sense ought to see
that these tiny eonclaves in the midst
of British India are the last colonial
possessions Germany would dream of Z"

SAN FRANCISCO, December Is
The Examiner says there are over
sixty vessels, each carrying from a
hundred to over 1000 tons Of coal,
bound from New Castle, Australia, to
the Hawaiian Islands. From the same
Australian port to San Francisco there
are about twenty vessels bound with
similar cargoes. The diversion Of this
supply of coal from this port to Ha-
wall has caused a scarcity of fuel and
a consequent increase in price in San
Francisco.

NEW YORK, December ga dis
patch 10 the Tribune from London
says:
The announcement of the Berlin
Lokalanzeiger that under the secret
stipulations of the treaty Germany will
take Portugal's Asiatic colonies and the
territory north of the Zambesi and
England Delago Bay, is the most
startling news of the day.
The authority is not official. and the
statement Of concerted action by the
two powers against French and Rus
sian occupation must be accepted with
reserve until the foreign offices con-
firm it. The alleged payment of 25,-
100000 marks for Germanys share in
this territorial trade also seems doubt
full.
Some disclosure Of this kind
Has Been Expected
in diplomatic circles for several weeks,
since the necessity for shutting of the
supplies of arms and ammunition from
the Transvaal has become apparent
with the prolongation of the war.
While the Russian press forecasts
the occupation of Herat as the first
consequence of their occupation of Dell
agoa bay, the French journals are Curl
Gus to know what the Washington gov
eminent will do regarding the seizure
OF American vessels by the British
navy. Whatever that action may be
reports that Mr.. Choate has interviewed
in the matter are
Premature and Unfounded.
The British prize courts will without
doubt be allowed to do their work pre-
cisely as the American prize courts
operated during the war with Spain,
and questions of contraband OF war and
neutral rights will be ordered in due
course. Russian and French rumors
that all neutral powers will intervene
if England takes effective measures for
closing the back door against the en-
trance of contraband OF war into the
Transvaal are colored by the general
belief that there is a secret agreement
with Germany relating to any emerg-
ency which may arise on the east
coast.
