CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Elaborate Plans for Its Annual Ban
Queu Next Month.

Secretary Thos. c. Watson of the
Pensacola Chamber of Commerce
( kindly entertained a NEWS repre-
sentative this morning with an ac-
count of the plans determined upon
at meeting of the board of direc-
tors held yesterday evening for the
annual meeting and banquet of that
body, which is to be held about the
10th or 18th of April. Among the
features of the event will be a care
fully prepared program of tOasts, to
be responded to by prominent MEM
bers and citizens, and by distin-
guished guests who are to be invited.
The banquet will take place at the
Escambia hotel, and, for many reas-
ons, will be an event long to be re-
membered, if none of the wise and
elaborate plans in view miscarry.
At this meeting the organizations
efficient secretary will submit one of
the most comprehensive and inter-
esting reports in the history of the
chamber, comprising complete sta
tisticul and historical review of the
calendar year 1899, gathered with in
finite patience and ability from the
most authentic sources, showing
the growth and progress of the city
and port, in every commercial and
industrial phase of its advancement,
together with a mass of additional
information of signal value and pro-
found interest, not only to the in
habitants but to the public at large.
If any resident of Pensacola i'm
agines that its chief commercial
body is back number" and of lit
tie or no practical benefit to the
community, let him prepare to be
disillusi0nized by the perusal of its
record for 1899, as set forth in the
forthcoming report. The province
of its sister OrganiZltion-the Young
Mems Business League--is to supple
ment its work and aid in every pos
sible way to promote the business,
commercial and industrial interests
of the city and port, 1t is to be earn
estly hoped that when the time
comes to celebrate the anniversary
Of the League, it can make as good
showing, in its special sphere, as the
Chamber of Commerce.

EVERY citizen Of Pensacola will
heartily applaud the wise and pro-
gressive action of the city council at
its last meeting in promptly making
the necessary appropriation from
funds on hand, as shown by the re-
port of the finance committee, for
five new fire hydrants for the exten-
sion ordered of the water mains
westward on Garden and Chase
streets, for renewing the decayed
box drains on Garden street fOr
which. after advertisement, no bids
had been received), and for the re-
construction of the fire alarm and
police call service system. The re-
QUESTION of the board of public
safety for a conveyance, to and from
fires. for the chief of the fire depart
ment, was referred to the finance
committee and will doubtless be re-
ported favorably and appropriated
for at the next meeting of the
council.

THE democrats and pOpulists of
Nebraska have unanimously agreed
upon a platform, which includes the
reaffirmation of the Chicago plat
form in toto, and which is said to
have received the full appreciation
Of Mr.. Bryan. If this course will
result in a demOcratic-or fusion
victory in that state, the price to be
paid for populist cooperation may
not be considered excessive; but a
local policy like that need not be
engrafted upon the policy Of the de-
mocracy at large. The Chicago
platform is what split the demo-
cratic party in 1896. 1t will have
the same effect i'm 1900. The pOpu-
list vote gsined by its adoption was
not enough to overcome the disaffec-
tiOn in the democratic party caused
by it. Why not have a national
platform for all democrats, whether
il suits the pOpUlists or not?

HANDLES RETURN.
Why A Jefferson County POpulist
Leader came Back.

Valley Falls, Kas,, Aug. 14.-Noth-
ing has created greater CONSERVATION
among the fusion leaders of the First
congressional district than the an
nouncement that ID. j. Handle, OF
this city, will leave the fusion ranks
and support the Republican state and
national ticket this fall. Mr.. Handle
is one of many who were not included
in the list of changes printed in the
journal last week. He has been a
Populist since 1892, when he left the
Republican party. There has been
no more prominent or active worker
in this district than he. Atthe Abilene
state convention Mr.. Handle was
second in the race for the nomination
for state auditor. In 1894 he was
nominated for county attorney while
away from home and purely without
any solicitation on his part. He
has been county committeeman of his
county for number of years. Last
year he was the choice of the Pop
ulists for district judge in the judicial
district composed of Jackson and
Jefferson counties. He withdrew in
order that Democrat, Mr.. Gephart,
might receive the nomination of both
the Democrats and Populists. Mr..
Handle is strong campaigner and
has large following of men who
believe in his integrity and have con
fidence in his judgment. His loss
will be keenly felt by the fusionists OF
the district.

BROKEN BRIC-A-BRACS

Mr.. Major the famous cement man. OF New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard article
know that II IL many undred per cent better
than other cements for which similar claims
are made, but a great many do not know why.
The simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses the
best materials ever discovered and other man
ufabturers do not use them. because they are
too expensive and do not allow large profits.
Mr., Major tells us that one of the elements of
his cement costs 1915 pound. and another
81. a gallon, while a large share of the so.
cts are nothing more than sixteen-cent glue,
dissolved In water or oitric acid, and in some
cases altered slightly In color and Odor by the
addition of cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents a bottle and when a dealer
tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon
II that his only object is TO make larger profit
The profit on major cement is as much as
| any dealer ought to make on any cement And
dealer gets his his share of the benefit OF Mr..
| Majors advertising, which nowamounts TO over
5000 month, throughout the country. Estab-
| lshed in 1876

WARSHIPS IN COLLISION.
French Battleship Sinks Torpedo Boat
Destroyer and Many Lives Are
IOSt

Paris Aug, 13.--During maneuvers
of the French fleet off Cape Vincent
! asst night, a collision occurred between
the first class battleship Brennus,
flying the flag of Vice Admiral
Fournier, commander of the fleet, and
the torpedo boat destroyer France.
The France sank Immediately,
The accident was due to the fact that
the France turned to the right when
ordered to turn to the left, Details
thus far received are very
meager; but only a small portion of
the crew, consisting of four officers
and fifty-eight men, was saved. 1t is
believed that no fewer than fifty were
lost, and great anxiety is felt here.
The Faramee, which was of 3l3 tons
displacement, was recent addition
to the French navy.
1t is now known that of the France
crew, fourteen were saved. The losses
include three officers, Captain Madui

Paying off Debts to Europe and Lend

London, Aug. 13.-The Times today
prints a long editorial dealing with the
economic position of the United States
as evinced by the allotment of the war
loan, traces the progress during the
last four years of the reduction of
the American debt; but maintains that
the United States has not yet ceased
to be debtor nation. 1t refers to the
abundance of capital accumulations in
America and adds: ''Nothing could
suit the American better, among the
nom American securities, than the OBJ
legations of the British government.
mot only have the Americans con-
siderably reduced their permanent in
debtedness to Europe by buying Amer
lean railway and other bonds and Sc
cur;ties, but when, in the autumn of
1898. London houses refused to renew
masses of German bills previously
held here, the bulk, after having been
domiciled for a short time in Paris,
were transferred to New York, where
they have remained ever since and
doubtless been added to.
"The United States also lent money
to Russia.
1T has been evident for eighteen
months or two years that American
money houses possessed large funds
which they have been unable to en-
ploy at home satisfactorily and the
higher interest rates at present in
Europe attract some of this money"

HIS EYE ON AMERICA.
A Request For Protection Should He
Leave The Transvaal

London, Aug. 14.-President Kruger
at one time made a formal application
to the United States to grant him a
sanctuary in case the necessity for it
arose. This occurred, according to
Mr.. Reitz, secretary of state of the
Transvaal republic, the day Lord
Roberts entered Pretoria. The de-
tails of the event have been related to
a representative of the Associated
Press by r. w. Unger, who has just
returned from the Transvaal, and Sc
cured the information from Secretary
Reitz and others.
After quoting the secretary as say
ing President Kruger would never
take to the mountains, on account of
his age, but would retreat down the
line, finally escaping to Portuguese
territory, Mr.. Unger said that the day
the British entered Pretoria President
Kruger sent for w. Stanley Hollis,
he United States consul at Lorenzo
Marques, and Mr.. Hollis was taken
to Machadorp in special car. Mr..
Hollis was asked by President Kruger
if his government would grant him an
asylum in the Lorenzo Marques con-
sulate until he made other arrange
ments for his departure. President
Kruger expressed fears concerning
his treatment by the Portuguese gov
ernment'and wished to guard against
any possible British landing parties,
Mr.. Hollis asked for time to consult
with his government and President
Kruger assured him he would receive
a weeks notice before putting the plar
into execution.
Mr.. Unger did not know whether
