An Inventor Dead.

Washington, May 19.-Marion Chester
Stone is dead at his home in this city aged
81. He was born in Ohio, served with
credit in the civil war, studied theology
and became q newspaper correspondent
in this city. He invented a machine for
making paper cigarette holders and made
a contract with the Duke after
which he started a factory. Then he in
vented a machine for making the paper
straws or tubes that nave displaced the
straws used for cold drinks. The orders
from Europe as well as the domestic de-
mand was SO great that Mr.. Stone was
obliged to double the capacity of his
works.
His next invention was a method of
coloring fine china and other wares in
imitation of the celebrated 'peachblow
vase" Of the Walters collection. His fac
tory was a model and he was spoken oil as
1.-The friend of the working class" in that
he looked after the moral and social con-
dition of his working girls and furnished
a large library of standard fiction and
other works, a music room, meeting room
for debates and a dancing floor in the
building. Mr.. Stone was also we'll known
for his philanthropy in other directions.

COMMISSIONERS
HAVE AGREED

New York, May ia dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says: The
Nicaraguan canal commissioners, Ad-
miral Walker, Col. Haines and Mr.. Haupt
are understood to have settled the
previous disagreements which have so
long delayed the report of the committee
and which for a time threatened to. make
the appointment of another commission
necessary. The agreement results in their
fixing the cost of the proposed waterway
which is pronounced entirely feasible at
$125, 600, 900. 1t is believed the report will
be signed and delivered to the president
Immediately on his return from Hot
Springs to Washington.
The members of the commission had
agreed after the elaborate and thorough
consideration they have given to the sub
ject, believe that the last objection to
the beginning of the inter-oceanic water
way has been swept aside and hat con-
gress may be relied upon to promptly au-
thorize the canals construction. A modi-
fled route is recommended. In it's pre-
liminary report the commission declared
its positive belief that the canal across
Nicaragua was entirely feasible, but the
Maritime Canal company, which held the
concession and exerted powerful infu-
ences, prevented agreement to a modified
route.
The majority Of the commission, Ad-
miral Walker and Col. Haines favored
what is known as the Lull route. They
adhered to dimensions considerably
greater tina ever before proposed, both
in length of locks and in width, depth and
radius of curvature of canal, in order
that large ocean steamers and especially
warships could securely and quickly make
the trip over the divide. This, they said,
necessarily made a corresponding in
crease in the estimated cost in no way
approached by former estimates. 1t was
the opinion of the commission that of the
routes estimated for, the Lull route was
the more desirable, because it is easier
of construction, presents no problems not
we'll within good engineering precedents
and will be a safer and more reliable
canal hen completed. 1t also expressed
conviction that the dimensions and form
of construction preferred by the COM
mission would be less han the cheaper
form of construction of the other route.

Chewing Gum Combine

New York, May 19.-The Tribune says:
The chewing gum combine which is to be
known as the American Chicle company,
will be incorporated at Trenton with a
capital of $4,000, 900, of which $4,000, 900
will be six per cent cumulative preferred
stock and $6,000,0 900 common stock. The

Germs: The Beeman Chemical company,

the alegoracil figures upon the latter will
be pushed forward as rapidly as possible.
The work must be completed in time for
the opening of the Paris exposition next
year. 1t is not expected that the figure
will be cast by then in the bronze, but it
is hoped that the base will be in granite
by the time the exposition opens. The
rest of the work will be in plaster. The
most important portion of the monument,
the equestrian statue of Lafayette, will
be the work of Mr.. Bartlett, while Mr..
Barnard Will design the allegorical figures
on the pedestal.

GRAND ARMY
RESOLUTIONS
Have Confidence in Wisdom OF
the President,
CONDEMN ALL U~TTERANCES
That Have a Tendency to Create
Dissatisfaction and Discon-
tent Among Troope.
CONDEMN ALL UTTERANCES

Danvile, Ill.,. May 19.-The Illinois de-
partment of the G.. a. r. encampment
held at this place passed resolutions en-
dorsing President Mckinley. The resolu-
tons are couched in strong, simple terms.
They We're received with cheers from 1000
soldiers voices and We're passed with en-
thusiasm. Beginning with the pledge of
loyalty and support to the administration,
they add:
while we recognize to it's fullest ex-
tent the right of American citizens to free
speech n a fair discussion of all ques-
tions of public policy. we deprecate and
unQualitiedly condemn all u~tterances or
public speech from any source whatever,
which have a tendency to create dissatis-
faction or discomfort among our soldiers
or sailors OF to invite Instruction or re-
bellion among the natives or inhabitants
of our recently acquired possessions. We
therefore regard it as our highest duty to
stand unhesitatingly by the flag Of our
country, wherever it floats. We and the
men for whom we speak have faith in the
wisdom, patriotism and fidelity Of Com
rade Mckinley. the same as we did When
as soldiers of the republic in arms for
the preservation of the national union
we had implicit faith in Abraham Lincoln
and we have no fear that from any act of
his Imperialism or militarism will ever be
imposed upon the American people,"
Following this comes an acknowledge
ment of pride in the achievements of
Dewey and of the heroes of Santiago.
Then come words like these:
w look upon the resistless march of
u heroic army in our Philippine possess
sions as that civilization that has made
us free men; the sure guaranty of inde-
pendence of the individual from servility
to responsible and hearless rulers. 1t is
also free self government for the people
at the earliest moment they are fitted for
it's exercise"
The resolutions adopted at the 18th en-
campment as to the pension law are re-
affirmed.

The Welcome to Dewey.

New York, May 19.-The home coming
of Admiral Dewey has caused a boom in
the dry goods trade. The demand for
ordinary cloth and prints for conversion
into bunting has all but exhausted the
supply and converters have found it
necessary to take higher grades of ma
terial, including what is known as IS
squares. In the trade it is estimated thai
at least 100000 pieces or %, 900, 900 yards of
bunting will be used to welcome the hero
of Manila bay.
