National w. G. t. U. Convention Here
| Next Year.

From the Union Signal.
1t has been decided that the national con-
vention for 1900 will go to Washington, D. G.
This Is the choice of a large majority of
the state presidents for a number of rea-
sens. 1t Is the consensus of opinion thai
having been TO the middle west last year
and to the far west this year, We should
go east next year. Washington is very ac-
cessible. especially to the southern women,
which cannot be said of many other places
The thought is to call the convention for
November 3d. let the executive meetings
occupy the first two days as usual, and
the convention proper be in session the first
week in December. This will enable mos;
of the delegates to spend Thanksgiving at
home, and allow them to be present at the
opening of the United States Congress
which bridges two centuries. We can thus
celebrate the close of this wonderful nine
tenth century and make an impress upon
the first year of the twentieth century, viz,
1901. Our twenty-seventh annual conven-
ton should be worthy of the notable time
in which it is to be held, the notable city
where II will be entert aimed, and the nota-
BILE work which the organization is called
to do. Already the fine new opera house
Lafayette, has been engaged for Its SEES
sions and for headquarters. All energies
should be bent toward making the progress
of this year surpass that of any other in
the history of our organization. Indianapo-
lis Milwaukee and Pittsburg were next in
the hearts of the women. who are believing
that time cannot kill true love and that
these cities will renew their hospitable pro-
posalS to the national convention.

BIG TRUCK AND BIG TEAM.
How Heavy Cables for San Francisco
Street Cars Are Transported.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
San Francisco is the home of the cable
road and it contains the biggest truck
for hauling the big cables used for street
railway traffic and the largest team of
horses ever put together to draw a single
Dad. The numbers of cables in use in San
Francisco, and the frequency with which

on a single line. These front wheels are on
two separate axles, and the team has two

wheels to be moved independently of each
other, and in case of need they may be
turned at opposite angles and made to serve
as an additional brake to the truck The
Fulton street cable is 81 coo feet long, and

Great Boom in building.
Remarkable as the year now closing has
been in the building trade the showing OF
the last few days has been more wonder
full. Already the hundred million dollar
mark has been passed. and the enormous
figure of S150,0o0,o00 in new buildings
planned for The Bronx and Manhattan
alone is likely to be reached. Structural
STEEL continues to hold its high price while
all building material is from 20 to - per
cent higher than the normal figures. De-
liVeries to local contractors have been post
pcnsd indefinitely by the material men, and
1t is estimated by those familiar with the
situation that orders already booked will
keep manufacturers busy for six months to
come The taxes in both Manhattan and
The Bronx never have amounted to as
much as they do this year. but. despite
these hardships. the building boom grows.

Hungarian Peasant Ball.
Once each year, on its last night the

in one of the larger assembly halls, and
amid scenes which bring back thoughts of
their former homes, give themselves up TO
the pleasures, games and pursuits of the
rollicking, care-free peasant of the land
for which they fought and bled. So it
happens that the Hungarian peasant ball

Colts Increasing Popularity.
Public golf in New York city has DEM
onstrared its success far more than the
most sanguine expected last spring when
it was decided to increase the playing ia
cilities of the Van CorIandt links from
nine to eighteen holes. This unlocked for
success and the increasing number of
players will undoubtedly lead to the lay

will be on the opposite side of the city from

MONROE DOCTRINE VS.. GERMANY.
1t Forms Bar to Purchase of the
Danish West Indies.

A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says:
The German government has definitely
abandoned all idea OF acquiring the Danish
West Indies, either by purchase from Den
mark or otherwise. The German embassy in
Washington has left no doubt that any such
attempt would be looked upon by the Amer
leans as an unfriendly act and as a serious
infringement of the Monroe doctrine.
The reports representing that Denmark is
negotiating to sell the islands to The United
States are said to be either entirely prerna-
ture without foundation.

startled Mr.. Hoar that he forced Mr..
Foraker to repeat the statement 4
second time so that there should be no
Misunderstanding of his meaning. As
the ADMINISTRATIONS designs in the mat
ter have all along been the element Of
doubt. and it being feared that it allow
ed to get root too firmly imperialism
might become a permanent policy of our
republic, the anti.imperialists have
waged a firm warfare against the insidu-
Gus and dangerous principle and finally
have forced a declaration of the
administrations position. This -is
on the presumption that Mr..
Foraker spoke by the book, and no
doubt he did or he would not have beer
SO positive about his statement and
further explained that there we're good
reasons why the administration could
not and should not declare itself on that
point at this time. He said these rea.
sons could not be given now. This is no
doubt correct, for it it we're known by
certain European powers that we we're
not going to take absolute and per-
manent possession Of these islands these
powers would have taken an entirely diff
fsrent attitude towards the islands than
they otherwise have done. This needed
to be guarded against until the treaty
was ratified and We acquired all the
right and title which SpaiD had to give
and which these foreign countries have
heretofore recognized as absolute as they
have made no protest to our acquisition
OF a title understood to be absolute.
