DEWEY ON OTIS.
Opinion the Admiral Expressed as TO
the General in the Philippines.

the General in the Philippines.
Some doubt has been expressed as to the
opinion Admiral Dewey has of the ability
of General Otis to deal with the Philippine
problem.
The preliminary report of the Philippine
commission was silent on the subject of the
conduct of affairs by General Otis. This
preliminary report was made at the re-
quest of the President, to cover only GER
tain indicated points with reference to the
Philippine question, after the President
had been informed of Deweys opinion of
Otis.
Dewey made this statement in response
to an inquiry as to whether the conflict
with the Filipinos could have been avoided:
IF Leonard Wood Chat is General Wood
in command at Santiago had been in
command of the forces at Manila there
would have been no war; or, If there had

STEEL WIRE INDUSTRY,
Testimony of j. w. Gates Before the
Industrial Com N ssiOn.

The Industrial commission listened to
the testimony of John w. Gates, chairman
and managing director of the American
Steel and Wire Company. Mr.. Gates said
that while his company controlled a major
portion OF the wire product of the country,
it did not seek to monOpolize the business,
but on the contrary encouraged other op-
orators He stated that Germany was the
principal competitor Of the United States
in the manufacture of wire and its prod
ucts. and gave the details Of an effort he
had made last summer to effect an inter-
national consolidation of wire works. TAX
ing in all those of Europe The oombina-
ton had failed, he said, because of the
impossibilIty of reaching an agreement on
the share of the product to be allotted to
the United States.

he went month before the election to
work for the republican ticket THE re-
suit in Ohio was a great triumph for the
republican ticket he said II think a big
mistake is made in supposing Jones drew
most of his vote from the democrats. I
believe he drew equally from both parties.
There is a mistaken idea that most of the
vote Jones received this year will go to the
democrats next year. His vote, If he re-
tires from politics as candidate, will go
back. to the old parties in equal proper
tions. Ohio, however, is in a mixed condi-
ton politically. There is trouble in both
parties.'

GOOD WAGES IN STEEL MILLS.
Workmen in South Chicago Benefited
by Rise In Product.

CHICAGO, November 1+-Beginning Jan
uary next, steel rail workers in the South
Chicago mills of the Illinois Steel Company
will receive record-breaking wages. Owing
to increased prices of the finished product
the men, some 300 in number, Will be able
to earn from $50 20 $500 month. This IN
usual condition is due to the fact that the
company failed to readJust the sliding scale
of wages last June, and under the contracts
a new scale cannot be arranged before June
l. 1900, and cannot go into effect for six
months after that date.
w. c. Davis. vice president Of the Anal

Workers, says the nearest approach to the
wages which will be paid was in 1892, when
the price of steel rails reached So.

Something About Roads.

From City Engineer w. IL. John
ston who was called to Lebanon 20
survey the new tOwnsite, controlled
by stock company, informs us
that the people of that town select
ed local board of appraisers to
go over town and value every lot
therein. A salesman has also been
appointed to dispose of all lots
prior to the coming of the town
site appraisers.
Mr.. Johnston also says the roads
between Lebanon and Ardmore are
in such IL terribly washed ont con
dition that the people are in a guam
Diary what to do with their immense
crops. They say that unless Ard
more can do something and that
soon, in the way of fixing up the
roads they will be compelled to
trade either at Whitesboro or Den
ison. Marietta, ne says, is pulling
hard for the Lebanon trade, and a
bridge at a cost of $1,000 is to be
put across Hickory for that pur
pose. He says the Marietta peo-
pie are thoroughly in earnest and
if Ardmore remains dormant only
short time longer her trade with
Lebanon will be a thing of the past.
The road to Lebanon from Ard
more has no bridge and it does seem
that our people have struck pace
which knows no quickening, but
will sit idly by and see the trade,
now theirs, slipping by wholesale
to other towns.
