SUPERIORITY or AMERICAN IRON.
American iron workers have
once more shown their superior
ity over those of other nations in
a recent competitive contract for
furnishing vaults for safe de-
posit company in Buenos Ayres,
the capitol of the Argentine
Republic. English, German and
American makers were invited
to compete for fur nishing a
vault, to weigh 100000 pounds
and accommodate $1,000 safe de
post boxes. The quality of the
metal used as we'll as the method
of construction proposed were
submitted to the closest scrutiny,
and the decision was that the
American offering was far and
away the strongest, most clever
ly constructed, and in every way
the best. So the contract was
given to the American company,
the Remington & Sherman
company, The sum In
volved is about $50, 600, and for
this the Argentine firm will
secure one Of the largest and
strongest plants Of the kind ever
built, as we'll as one that will in.

WITHDREW HIS RESIGNATION.

WITHDREW HIS RESIGNATION.
County Attorney Phelps, who
cut a wide swath some weeks ago
by filing his resignation with the
county auditor, on account of the
aliegedly deficient salary con-
nected with the position, found
out the sentiment of the people
and probably Of the members of
the county board before the
board met on Friday last and
very wisely recalled the docu.
ment, the only evidence, aside
from an amount of escaped wind
that would do credit to Sockless
Simpson, that his resignation
was ever contemplated.
MIR. Phelps is doubtless a good
attorney. We accept this view
as correct purely because of his
employment as legal advisor of
the county board at an enormous
salary last year. But we opine
that his resignation was purely
a "bluff," thinking the board
would raise the amount of his
salary grab rather than lose his
services, and that the withdraw.
al of his resignation was due to
other causes than those 80 gener
ously ascribed by those Duluth
papers, which call a spade by
any old name.
MIR. Phelps fit has passed.
Now let him get down to bust.

is stated that there is nothing under

to master the game, and no doubt his
great engineering skill will aid him.
With the other Havana passengers
Gen. Ludlow was released yesterday.
When Gen. Ludlow was told that he
would have to go to Hoffman island
he was very much surprised. He said
that he thought the quarantine had
been raised. Mrs. Ludlow, who is stay
ing in Flushing, was not at the pier
to meet him, as she had been notified
by wire that her husband could not
land.
Gen. Ludlow will remain in New
York until Saturday, when he will go
to Washington. He will return to
Cuba within a few weeks.
In an interview yesterday he said:
Il am glad to say that the feeling of
Cubans toward Americans whether
the military representative or others,
has greatly improved during recent
months. The suspicion and distrust
with which perhaps large number Of
them regarded Americans for so long
time after the military occupation
was established, have given way in great
measure to a confidence and cordiality
They are convinced now, 1 think, that
our purposes are honorable and friend
ly and limited to the organization and
development which are essential pre-
cursors of the establishment of a stable
native government. They see that our
conception of the task in hand was
truer than their own, and the most in
fuential and intelligent are now con-
tent to have US work out the most of
the problem before entrusting the con-
duct of affairs wholly to them The
more we do the less there will be for
them to do, and the more auspiciously
Will the republic start upon its career
The organizing of "a civil government
is proceeding prosperously throughout
the cities and towns of the islands.
In Havana, of course we have had
for some months a complete municipal
organization and administration, but

| ever is exercised no more than is
deemed necessary. Among the final
| preparations for the full assumption
OF authority by the Cubans, will be

New York, Nov. SIT was in the
mind of Gen. William Ludlow. mill
tary governor Of the city of Havana,
to step foot on the soil of the United
States directly the steamship Havana
was locked at her pier at the foot of
Wall street, Tuesday afternoon.
Gen. Ludlow has long been known
as an autocrat and one who usually
carried through his points regardless.
He can do pretty much as he pleases
in Havana. OF course. he hasn't any
authority in New York, but he asked
the officials in Washington to fix it so
that he could land at once.
OF course, the federal authorities
have no control over quarantine regu-
lations, that being wholly a state af-
fair, but it was supposed that sufficient
pull might be exerted to save Gen.
Ludlow the "a hours on Hoffman ISL
and.
But it wasn't. When the Havana
reached her pier at p. m. yesterday,
only one passenger landed. The 9TH
ers had been sent down the bay to be
theld day longer to make sure that
they had no yellow fever germs con-
cealed about them.
Gen. Ludlow therefore suffers exactly
the same fate as Gen. Fitzhugh Lee.
who really could have escaped the de-
tention, there being no question about
his being immune. But Gen. Lee would
no. ask DR. Drummer, the health officer
of Havana, for one of those tickets
permitting passenger to land at
once. They are not friendly.
Perhaps the relations between DR..
Brunner and Gen Ludlow are also
strained. DR.. Drummer belongs to the
navy, and the army rather resents
this. Life on Hoffman island is not
exciting. 1t lacks the comforts of
home. Gen. Lee. says the most excit-
! ing occupation there is playing mum
| blety-peg, and he was sure that if he
stayed there a week he would be the
champion long-distance mumblety-peg-
ger in America in the heavyweight
class.

the laborer," and that is only at noon.
ana II is safe to say that we cannot
work as well when we are deprived of
the privilege of smoking. We will see
that the street commissioner and the
republic an party will notice this" the
city laborer said, "at election. and he
may be sorry for it before he is many
days older"
The Spy man investigated the state
ment and found out that it was the
truth. It seems almost too bad that the
men who labor for the city should be
obhged to give up their pipes because
the city commissioner should think so.
for it is fact that a man addicted to
smoking can do better work when he
has chance to get a few puffs at a
pipe than when he is obliged to keep
his pipe in his pocket and think about
it.
1t has been demonstrated several times
and even in the army, when every
thing that is loaded into an army wag-
on is carefully weighed, tobacco is given
preference. The soldier has his chance
to smoke and men who lead armies in
every country on the globe recognize
this fact.
