AMERICAN COMPETITION
Proving Too Severe for Scotch Makers of

Proving Too Severe for Scotch Makers of
steel. Machinery. Etc.
Washington, d. c., January 1.-THE
effect of American competition upon
Scotch industries in the three great
lines steel, engines and machinery and
leather goods is set out in a report to
the bureau of foreign commerce of the
State Department from United States
Consul Fleming at Edinburg. He
bases his report upon a review OF the
years trade prepared for publication in
a Scotch newspaper by experts in the
lines named. The opinion of the ex-
pert in the case of steel is that the
Scotch steel maker has allowed his
plant to get behind the times in ca
pacity, while the American steel
maker has made such enormous strides
in production that his extraordinary
success seems to threaten the trade OF
the world.
Touching the introduction abroad of
American locomotive, experts are
quoted to show that the American ma
chine, while sold at lower price than
the British locomotive, is inferior in
durability and other desirable quail
ties and is being gradually crowded out
by the latter. This is said to be the
case in Japan, particularly where the
British and American machines have
been tried simultaneously, for some
time past. The consul, in quoting. Lii 8
opinion, adds that as the Midway Rail
way Company in England MS just or
dered twenty American locomotives, it
would seem that the managers are not
specially apprehensive that the Ameri-
can machines cannot pass the British
tests.
1t is admitted that the Americans
and Canadians still retain the bulk of
the important trade in agricultural ma
chinery and have practically a mon

ELKINS HOLDS ALO0F.
The Senator Has Not Started for Charles

Special to the Register.
Washington, January 14.-In spite
of persistent newspaper reports which
have been circulated throughout the
country, to the effect that Senator
Stephen B. Elkins will proceed to
Charleston to take an active hand in
the fight for Republican supremacy in
the Legislature, it can be positively
stated that his present intention is to
hold aloof from the struggle until it
is settled in favor of one party or the
other, and then possibly to come in
and aid in choosing the nominee.
One report published this morning
was to the effect that he had already
set out for Charleston. Upon inquiry
at his home here it was found that he
had left the city for Baltimore on pri-
vate business.

determined in the Monroe county case:
first, whether or not the Secretary of
State did his duty; second, whether
Via or Logan was legally elected.
The first was covered in the resolution
before the House; the other would be
determined by the committee on privi-

The developments in the House to-
day further complicate the situation
While the Democrats believe they
have elected a sufficient number of
Senators and Delegates to give them a
majority of three on joint ballot, they
have virtually abandoned all hope of
having a majority because of the I'M
scrupulous manipulation of power by
the Republicans for partisan ends. The
seating of Democrats from Monroe

COLCORD'S MANIFESTO

The lengthy manifesto of ex-Gov-
ernor Colcord, as Chairman of the Re
publican State Central Committee,
has caused nothing more than a quiet
ripple of laughter where it has been
read.
The assertion that the silver issue
will not be before the people Of the
State next fall is the statement that
everybody, even Republicans, are
laughing at. Every act Of he two
great parties for a year past indicates
to the most casual observer OF events
that it will as before be a live and
hetlv contested issue of the great
fight of 1900. The Presidents mes
sage openly declares for the gold
standard. In fact it is about the only
positive assertion made III it, and the
State Democratic Conventions of last
fall all declared EN- phatrCallv for free
coinage at the old Chicago platform
ratio. A man who cannot discern
with these signs in ront of him that
there is going to be a fight on the
money question III this State and all
over the union next year, should, in
justice to his party, resign from the
Craftsmanship OF the Central Commit
tee at an 1arly date.
The fight over the never dying and
ever present silver question next fall
is as certain as the coming of the
next eclipse or the rising of the sun
tomorrow. The silver forces OF Ne.

BEEF PRESERVER HEARD.
Inventor of the Powell Process Ex-

of Inquiry.

Washington, April 10.-Alexander B.
Powell, inventor of a process for pre-
serving refrigerator beef, told the court
of inquiry Saturday that his system had
been tried on six carcasses only. He
had an agreement with Armor & Co.,
but they did not get the contract. His
process, he said, involved no chemicals,
but was a sort of Immigration. Mr.. Pow
ell gave it as his opinion that no refrig-
orator meat could be kept more than IL
or 20 hours. Maj. Lee concluded the
reading of the reports of officers fur
nished as evidence by Gen. Miles. Near
ly all denounced the beef as unfit for
use and all agreed that it was not de-
sirable ration. The court decided to adj
here to its decision not to call the list of
witnesses submitted by Gen. Miles. Gen.
Shafter probably will testify early this
week and the outlook is for the closing
of testimony by Saturday next.
Maj. Gen. William r. Shafter, accom-
panied by his aid, arrived here Sunday
afternoon from California to testify be-
fore the army court of inquiry into the
beef charges, having been summoned
here for this purpose.
