No Negroes at the Dollar Dinner

New York, ..-pril 21.-In the account
of the Jefferson dinner by the Chicago
platform democrats, in this city, on
the night of April 18th, the statement
was made and telegraphed that colored
men were pres MT. This, it is stated, is
entirely incorrect, and that no colored
man was seated at the dinner tables.
When the speaking commenced a color
ed man and his son appeared on the
platform and upon this fact was based
the statement that colored people were
present and guests of the dinner, which
the managing committee of the BAN
quet states is not the fact.

Claims for the Square Bale { a Che Test

- lIAlkls ~ tkC - EhR IRAI
The following is taken from The
charleston News and Courier of yes
terday:
To the Editor of The News and Courier:
Our attention has been drown today,
for the first time, to Mr.. Searles' letter
In your paper, dated New York, April
is. The statement made by us, to
which he refers, was written to OF
our correspondents, or agents, and was
not intended for publication. we DO
not desire a newspape controversy as
to the comparative merits or the So
called round bale, and the standard
24x54 square, or rectangular pale. since
I'VE have been quoted publicly, however,
we wish you to state that our informa.
lion came from a cotton merchant OF
the highest character in Liverpool, Hr.
John Milligan, No. z Rumford street,
that the cylindrical bale had been sold
over the counter in Liverpool at a less
price than the standard square bale,
24x54.
we may add that we have since re-
ceived information from several Cont
mental correspondents to the same ef-
feet with reference to Bremen sales.
We know nothing Of the terms under
which these sales were executed; we
simply made the statement, as 1T came
to US from responsible people.
AS to our claim that we can put more
weight of the compressed standard
square bale, 24x54, into a ship to the
net ton register than it is possible tc
put in round bales, we are willing tC
test it in our next steamer for Liver
pool by measured space and to afford
the contestants every facility for fail
play. OF respectfully.

It is said that the West Superior
iron and steel plant will be turned over
to the Lake Superior Steel company,
the new corporation that has made
deal for that plant, together with the
.J1onton Structural Steel company S
plant and the West Duluth car works.
on Nov. g. Whether the Duluth plants
will be taken over on the same date is
not known. More time has been occu-
pied in the closing details of the sale
Of the three plants than was expected.
It was expected several weeks ago that
the work of putting the plants in shape
for operation would be in progress
now. There has been no hitch of a
serious nature, however, and it is said
that it is but matter of a very short
time when the announcements will be
made Of the formal transfer of the
properties. ,..
The sale Of the plants, according to
information received some weeks ago,
and which continues to be confirmed in
high quarters, is a certainty and the
closing details are now in hand. 1t is
said that the men that are Interested
in the purchase Of the head of the
lakes plants are in close touch with
men that control some of the more
valuable patents for the use Of elec-
$tricity in manufacturing pursuits. The
Importance Of this, if true, will be
emphasized by the fact that there is
ample water power in the st. Louis
river, which it is expected will be util-
lied in the near future. 1t has been
suggested that if the Great Northern
road would make a manufacturing in
transit rate on iron and steel products
at the head of the lakes that it would
have the effect of assisting materially

in the development of the industry
here. The Great Northern is the only
trans-continental road that reaches the
iron mines and it is suggested that ii
the road would make manufacturing
in transit rate it could control vastly
bigger freight tonnage of manufac-
tured products destined for the far
West and the Orient. Under the pres
ent system the Great Northern hauls
a certain amount of ore from the Me-
saba to Duluth and gets back from the
East in it's boats a share Of the manu-
factured products of the ore, which it
transports by rail to the Western
states, or forwards to the Orient from
the Pacific coast.
The Duluth people that suggest this
plan do not profess to know much
about the intricacies Of the transparta-
ton business, but if there is any good
business reason why the Great North
ern cannot do this to it's own advan-
tage they do not see where the diff
Guilty lies. The high lake rates pre-
vailing at present for the transporta-
ton of ore, and which it is assured will
be high next year, are regarded as a
favorable condition for the establish
ment of the iron and steel industry
here. It is said that the West Duluth
blast furnace can be operated very
protitably under present conditions and
that Mr.. Thomas can, if he desires,
ship his product East at a profit He
can of course obtain a bigger profit by
his product here and in the
tributary country.
