would put an enormous sum of money
into the hands Of those who may use
it for their own benefits.
Delegate Stein again spoke and said
that he believed that the Assembly
should vote for anything that 1t con-
siders is right. We clamor for munic-
ipal ownership and how are we going
to secure it, If we do not issue bonds?
Delegate Thomas then remarked that
the Democrats and Republicans SEEM
ed to be arrayed against each other and
urged that the ordinance be discussed
from a nor-partisan point Of view.
Delegate OLeary later offered a sub
stitute motion that the matter rela-
tive to the ordinance be laid over until
the next meeting and it carried by a
vote Of IL to I.
During the discussion Delegate
Hecker made the following statement:
The $415, 200 Of old bonds it is pro-
posed to take up and substitute in their
stead the same amount of new bonds.
and in addition the $4,000 to be
known as the electric light bonds,
making the new debt $4,000. and
none of it to be paid until ten years
have elapsed. We have been paying
the old debt at the rate Of about $780,
900 per year, thus reducing principal
and interest. It Is my understanding
that the old bonds are all ten-year
bonds, and, as car be seen, are all
practically due. No n seems to want
their bonds cashed, although the great
err part are very much overdue, and
why should they want them cashed or
exchanged from a higher to a lower
rate of interest? So it seems very evil
dent that the holders of city bonds are
not urging redemption except in re-
gard to the compromise loan of 1860,
which bonds bear a rate of 3 per cent.
interest. The old and new PROPOSE
\ lions when analysed and compared
will stand about as follows at the end
Of ten years: Old debt, SALE, 900; in
terest paid in ten years, reckoned at s
per cent, which is too much, would
amount to $168, 900; debt at the end of
ten years, $115, 600. New debt, $780,
600; interest paid in ten years, $204,-
900; debt in ten years, $50, 900; saving
of interest, old plan, $4,000; differ
ence in debt at the end Of ten years,
1896, 900. The old bonds will not av-
erage in rate of interest Over 5A per
cent. interest, and If SO. then the
$147, 900 would represent the interest
to pay instead of $168, 900, and this
would show a saving under the old
plan of $4,000"
The resolutions submitted by the
Legislative Committee, recommending
that the Assembly hold a convention
in the near future for the purpose Of
nominating a labor ticket. was next
taken up and discussed. On motion
the resolutions were received and filed,
after which the Assembly adjourned.

Will Not Warrant Any Increase in
Appropriations.
HARRISBURG, Pa, February 49,
State Treasurer Beacon has completed
the distribution of school appropria-
lions for the current fiscal year end
ing May 31st next. This Is the first
time the school districts have been
paid before March list since the ap-
preparation was increased to $4,000, 900.
The State fiscal officers estimate the
State revenues for 1900 at $12, 49,
44S.5 so, or about $500, 900 less than the
receipts for 1899.
MIR. Beacon says if business con-
ditions continue as good for five years
as they have for the present eighteen
months, the State will be able, under
the present revenue law, to meet its
obligations, but that even the present
conditions will not justify any increase
of appropriations. He believes it
would be a mistake to change the
present system of State taxation IN
Pennsylvania. The large increase in
the State revenues the past year over
the previous twelve months have en-
abled the State treasurer to settle
promptly all the claims against the
Commonwealth.

-
PITTSBURG, Pa, February 49,
Charles E. Macrum. former United
States consul at Pretoria, South Afri-
ca, left for Washington tonight at 10
o'clock on the Baltimore and Ohio
road. Before leaving he said:
II do not withdraw a word of my
charges against the Br. ish officials in
South Africa. If / am called upon, I
am prepared at any time to testify to
them and furnish evidence of their
truthfulness."
Mr.. Macrum is evidently delighted
over the effect of his statement made
public last week. and says that al
though he is not acquainted with Con-
gresham Wheeler, of Kentucky, who
introduced a resolution in the House
asking for an investigation of his case,
ne will call upon him tomorrow or
next day. The ~ex-consul says he is not
going to Washington on any special
mission, but wants to be on the ground
to give his testimony should it be
needed.

ain with Information.
PARIS, February 1.-THE sensa-
tional newspapers OF Paris publish a
story with regard to a sub-chief Of one
of the bureaus of the ministry Of ma
rine named Philip, who is said to
have been discovered in an offer to
furnish Great Britain information re-
lating to the freighting OF vessels for
the Transvaal in French ports. It is
alleged that il the letter containing
his proposal he asked $4,000 francs in
return for the information. 1t is also
alleged that the letter was seized on
the strength of information given
through DR.. Leyds, whereupon M.
Philip absconded.
The Nationalist journals insinuate
that he received timely warning from
the French government and was thus
enabled to escape to England
DR.. Leyds, however. denies the part
attributed to him in the affair, and
b British embassy a issued q for
NAL reputation of any relations direct
or indirect with Philip.
According to the Journal Des De-
bats, Philip has gone to the United
States, where he formerly lived and
where, it is said, he became bankrupt
as the result of his unfortunate man
agement Of his business as a picture
dealer.
The method by which he was trap
ped recalls the Dreyfus affair. He re-
ceived a letter inviting him to meet a
yelled lady as in the notorious case Of
Lieut.. Col. Du Patty De Clam, at a
well known cafe. Here, according to
this story, he indiscreetly revealed his
designs to the yelled lady, who imme-
diately informed the departmental
commission, which promptly proceeded
to investigate. Before action could be
taken, however, the bird had flown.

BELMONT BODY
Held It's Regular Meeting in Bell
aire Yesterday-The Business

aire Yesterday-The Business
Transacted.
The Belmont Central Trades and
Labor Union met yesterday at Bellaire,
with President James in the chair.
Little business was transacted Of any
Importance, yet the meeting was one
of much interest. Credentials were
received from the BARRIERS Union, Of
Bridgeport, naming Anthony Engle-
mier as their delegate.
Local Union No. 430, of U. M. W. of
A., presented a resolution urging
their members to use their influence
against the Pittsburg papers that are
placed on the unfair list.
Owing to the resignation of Secre-
tary at the last meeting, the election
OF a new secretary came up at this
meeting. After a number of nomina-
tions had been made and also a num-
Der of the nominees declined. Owing
to this fact a motion was made for
all the nominees who would serve, If
elected, to rise to their feet. The mo-
ton was adopted and only n of the
nominees answered to the call the del
egate being Thomas Ashton, and he
was elected by the unanimous vote Of
the Union.
The next subject was the Pittsburg
papers that have been placed on the
unfair list. On this subject many
members gave their opinions and the
majority were in favor of further in
yestigation and after some discussion
it was the unanimous decision Of the
Union to communicate with the sec
retaries of the different unions, name
ly: The A. F. of w, International
Machinist Union, and Typographical
Union. In the discussion it was
brought out that the A. F. of w. have
turned down this controversy three
times, and as it is a fight between
two unions, many of the delegates ad-
vised the union to be guarded in its
sympathy until the true facts were
brought to light.
The President appointed the follow
ing on the Legislative Committee:
NJ. Davidson, James Tannihill, D. A.
Morgan, Robert Stead, J.. A. Johnson,
F. McMillen and William Bauford.
The Union also took action on the
newspapers and job printers Of the
three towns which include Bellaire,
Martins Ferry and Bridgeport. I'm
der this head many of the members
were not backward in expressing their
opinions of these papers, which did
not include all but especially those
who have said S many times that
they would join the Union but have
always failed. During this discussion
one of the delegates paid a compli-
rent to the Register for it's full and
fair report of the proceedings of the
Uaion. A motion was made that the
Secretary write these papers and ask
them if their employees objected to be-
coming union workmen. Carried.
Under the " (fare Of the Union sew

INTERESTING TALK WITH
A SHREWD COTTON MAN.
From the vicksburg DAILY Herald.

Mr. w. G. Craig, of the cotton firm of
w. G. Craig & Co., has returned from
an extended absence, during which
he travelled through the cotton manu-
featuring centers of the East, of Great
Britain, continental Europe. Mr..
Craig was seen by Herald reporter
and readily consented to talk regard
ing the prospects of the cotton hand
ling world this season. In the first
place, Mr.. Craig, during his absence,
has investigated the cotton question in
all its phases. from the fields to the
manufacturing goods warehouse.
81 found that there was very little
business in any of the European coun-
tries, except France, and that activity
is the result of the exhibition at Paris.
Thousands of people have visited Paris
and there was consequently much buy
ing created by the large influx of people
from all countries. The English spin
ners are doing very little and the chan
ces are that if an attempt is made to
force up the Price of cotton all the
mills will shut down. They can afford
to do this in view of the present supply
Of manufactured goods now in spinners'
hands.

THE GOOD OF
SPECIAL EDITIONS
The Times Will Issue One at An
Early Date.

In view of our Forthcoming in
dustrial and trade edition, we
copy the following from the pen
of Edgar S. Wilson, Mississippi
correspondent of the New Orleans
Picayune:
greater service could be done
town or county by its local press
than the publication of an October
edition containing an account of
the growth of the town and county;
its material and industrial pro-
gress; the thrift of the people
growing out of harmony, and the
diversifcatiOn of field and farm:
the number of new homes built in
the towns, the new mills and fact
cries, the better water facilities,
the putting In of sewerage, the
new churches and school-houses,
the better condition Of the farmer,
the greatest amount of hay raised
by this man or that, of the poultry
industry, of better stock and more
of it of the upward march general
ly of the people in, both town and
county. This would greatly help
the town and counties, and the
people in both town and country
would doubtless subscribe for
several thousand papers and give
more advertisements'for that issue,
and send them broadcast to adver-
tise their community. There is
not town in the state that would
not justify. in additional patron
age, the publication of an October
edition OF q home paper, and the
home paper could do its town and
people infinite service by such
publication. Nor Is this all. If
such papers are published, the
Picyaune will be glad to make a
summary of the progress of the
towns IN which they are published
from their write up of 1t, and
spread the progress and resources
of each of these communities to
the fourquarters of the globe.
And even if such edition are not
published by all the twons this
year, a strong, succinct editorial,
telling of the progress of the
several towns and counties by the
local press. would help those com
munlties every much, and be her
aided all over the world. We are
MisslssIppians; let us all work for
the upbuilding of the state, and
ever nook and corner of It.
