Hon. Joseph H. Manley. of Augusta, Me,
Chairman Of the subcommittee on ar.
Campaign Committee, is at the Arlington
from Philadelphia. accompanied by his son
and daughter He is at the Capital TO con-
fer with Senator Hanna, who failed to go
to the Quaker City with the committee,
to act upon the plans for the Convention in
the Porto Rican bill was occupying all Of
his time.
Il have approved OF the plans which will
turn the main building Of the recent Ma
tional Export Exposition into the cOnyen-
ticn hall" said Mr. Manley last night
and think it will make a splendid audi
forum, with space for everybody and COM
fort for those who must have il. | believe
that the citizens of Philadelphia will have
little trouble in raising the remaining $50
0O0. which viii complete the 100000 Of
fered to the campaign fund Mayor Ash
bridge has the matter in hand and will
manage il successfully. As to the nominee
for Vice President. l have nothing 10 say
as to the candidates. Pennsylvania might
put forward a good candidate. as there Is
plenty Of timber in. that State"
Charles T. Schoen, President of the
Pressed Steel Car Company. OF Pittsburg
was at the Raleigh last night en- route to
the Smoky City from Europe, where he
has been travelling for the past few months
to advance the interests of his company
and has entered into negotiations with
English German. French, Russian. and
Italian capitalists. Pressed steel cars
are coming into use on all of the railroads
on the Continent" said ne. and it is a
fact that we can make them here cheaper
and ship them to Europe at better rates
than the operators can get over there.
American enterprise and ingenuity, TO-
gether with our products. enable Amcri-
cans to compete and meet home COMPETE
ton in every line and American products
are regarded as being superior to all 9TH
ers."
THE latest in Chicago is a FISH trust"
said Capt. Emil \. Kirk, of the Windy
City. at Chamberlin's last night, but you
must not confuse this fisheries combina-
ton with the Chicago River. as it will not
depend upon this stream for a supply. The
new iinny octopus is now being capitalized
for $1,000. 600. largely by Western pro-
moters. Il will be called the North Amer
lean Fisheries Company and expects 10
have the market all to itself within a few
months. The underwriters do not seem to
have become frightened by the fearful col
lapse OF the Menhaden Fish Trust. which
was no sooner organized than the lnny
agitators organized a sub marine anti
trust league and refused to be netted by
The corporation boats. but gave themselves
into the seines OF the independent fishers.
This broke that trust and it is now in the
hands Of receivers. Perhaps the new or
ganization will hire spellbinders to har-
angue the fish from the vessels and con-
vert them into good Republicans SO that
they will see good in benevolent assim-
ilation' and allow themselves 10 be assim-
Hated"
