READING FOR SOLDIERS.

The work of the international COM
mittee of the Young Mems Christian
Association among the soldiers and
sailors of the United States is meeting
with grand success. During the Span
iSh-American war tents We're erected
wherever soldiers were encamped,
which were equipped with good reading
matter, writing material, etc, and giv-
ing as as far as possible the comforts
of a home Young Mems Christian AS
sociation.
This work has been carried to Cuba
and Porto Rico as we'll as to the Philip
pines. At the request of the war de-
partment the committee has undertaken
to supply The soldiers about to leave
for the Philippines with good reading
matter to be used while aboard the
transports on their long journey.
They will be unable to do this unless
they are aided by their friends. They
therefore request that all wishing to
help in this movement to send late
magazines such as Munseys, Outing.
Review Of Reviews, McClures, Harpers
and Scribners and Harpers and Les
lies illustrated weeklies. Youths Com
panion, etc.
All such contributions may be left
at the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion rooms, 316 Washington avenue,
and will be forwarded promptly. As
| the ships will sail at FREQUENT intervals
| after November 5, the need of prompt
action will be appreciated.

leave the manufactures committee or
the board of trade free to recommend
that the project be given the sanction
of the board. The committee was not
willing to take any definite action In
the matter until a first class practical
man was secured for manager.
Mr.. Torbet recommended Mr.. Patton
and the latter came on here and inter-
viewed the committee. The commit
tee was very favorably impressed with
him and said he would fill the bill. Mr.
Patton promised to think the matter
over and let the committee know what
he would do Yesterday Secretary
Atherton received word that Mr.. Pat
ton would accept.
All that now stands in the way of
the committee giving the project It's
hearty endorsement is the scarcity of

No Truth in Story.

The statement in Yesterdays Repub-
lican to the effect that Superintendent
Salisbury, of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western company would
resume charge of his former nosition
on the Utica and Syracuse division, and
that eX-Superintendent Garret Bo-
Eart, of this city, would be reinstated,
is absolutely false. When spoken to
regarding the rumor, Mr.. Salisbury
said yesterday that such a story was
evidently the dream of some over
ambitious reporter, and branded the
statement as being without any foun-
dation whatever.
The first intimation he had of snch
n statement was when his attention
was called to the article in the Repub-
lican. Had the reporter made inquiries
at the division superintendent's office,
the necessary information would have
been readily given.

Good Record for Year.

A piano factory. bolt and nut works,
silk mill, shirt factory, big printing
establishment and probably tin plate
factory is a pretty good showing for
one year in the way of new indust-
ries. This is the record of Scranton
for 1899. and the year isn't over yet.
Secretary d. Il. Atherton, of the
board Of trade, says there is nothing
particular in view just at present II.

board is firting with some good things
and hopes the city will grow industri-
ally next year as much as it did this,

0fficiaI Report 0t His Stern HfJectiup VI
Oyerturcs for Peace.
Washington, Oct. "A dispatch
from Gen. Otis was received at the
War Department, this morning, giving
an account of his meeting With the
insurgent enyoys.
Gen. Otis said tho interview with
Aguinaldo's representatives Indicated
that the leaders were nannuvering
solely with view TO secure racoe-
milton of the insurgent government.
All such overtures were rejected and
the ENJOYS were informed that the only
thing tho United States will recognize
was white flag and the grounding Of
arms.
He also informed the ENJOYS that
such equalization on the part OF the
insurgents should come quickly, in
order to avoid the consequences Of
active war, as the United States did
not intend to permit any delay in the
matter.
The course of Gen. Otis is approved
at the War Department.
Secretary Root took the dispatch
from Gen. Otis over to the White
House for the Presidents considera-
tion.
