A STRANGE CONVENTION.

AS odd a convention as ever assem-
bled will be the Society of Locomotor
Ataxia Sufferers which meets to Or
ganize in Tuxedo hall, New York city,
on May l. The object of the society
is to make a determined and exhaus-
tive search for a permanent cure for
the disease, and with this object in
view advertisements are being inserted
to get together those similarly afflicted
and to raise a fund for the establish
ment of laboratory in New York
where experiments can be made. The
best specialists will be engaged to
conduct the experiments.
1t is expected that about one hum
dred victims will attend the first meet
ing of the society, and definite plans
will then be made for the future.
Interested sufferers may apply for
further information to the temporary
secretary, Mr.. C. w. Stubbings. l2O
West Tooth street, New York, who has
spent thousands of dollars seeking a
cure but without avail He has tried
everything suggested including the one
million voltage electric treatment rec
commended by Nicola Tesla and the 800
degree baking oven, and has come to
the conclusion that will power is an
important factor in combating the dis
ease.
Most of those who attend this con-
vention will go there in filters and
chairs and other appliances for locomo-
ton.

Root talked with the President this
morning about affairs in the Philip

pinos with their arms. Secretary Root
said he had received no official infor-
nation of the purpose of the Cuban

delegation to Washington to ask a
modification of the Platt amendment
That the President would receive the
members is certain He would not
only do so, but would listen attentively
to all that was said. 1t is the opinion
in official circles that he would make
no promise but that he would give the
Cubans to understand that the Platt
amendment voiced both the official and
public opinion of the United States.

PRIEST. WHITE TALKS SALT.
Some Rather Interesting Informa-
ton Given the Industrial Com
misniOn.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE salt in
dustry of the country received the atten-
ton of the industrial commission to-day,
Archibald S. White. president Of the Ma
tional Salt Co, being the witness. He said
that the annual consumption of salt in the
United States amounts TO about 100000
barrels. of which the National company
supplied last year between eight and nine
million barrels He said that his organ
ization has taken in IS plants. Of which
six had been closed. He also stated that
the object of the consolidation had been
economical. Previous TO the combination
the competition was so sharp that there
was no profit in the business and mucn
inferior salt was made.
In the companys business. Mr.. White
said the country is divided into districts,
the head of each district being required
to make daily report. The effect of the
consolidation, he said, had been to adj
vance wages to the extent OF % to %
per cent. He did not consider any anti
trust legislation necessary, but a tax on
excessive earnings might be placed. He
thought the time would come when the
trusts would be regarded as benefactors
because of their conservation Of energy.
labor, etc.
Last year the net earnings Of the Ma
tional Salt Company had been 81 .2s7. $50,
and the company had paid a seven per
cent dividend upon preferred and six per
cent. upon. common stock
In reply TO questions. Mr.. White said
that the tariff Of 81 80 per ton on salt was
sufficient 10 prevent foreign competition
except at seaports. but that the freight
rate on American salt is so much greater
than on English salt that the railroad
companies usually get the benefit Of the
tariff protection American salt is now,
he said, for the first time in the history
of the country. beginning to find for

ENCROACHMENTS ON THE RIVER
CHANNEL.

In yesterdays Register it was stated
that Civil Engineer Lohse is preparing
a survey of the Ohio river at this point
with a view OF reporting to Major
Bixby the extent to which the channel
has been encroached upon.
No more important investigation than
this, especially to Island citizens, could
be undertaken, nor one of more press
ing need One has but to stand on
the Island side of the river and look
across to the other shore from the
suspension bridge as far up as the
bend to see at a glance the enormous
exyeut of this encroachment and the
Island.
There is no desire to complain un-
necessarily against manufacturers or
the P. C. C. & St. L. railroad protecting
their property by this coping, but the
dumping of Stag along the bank there
has gone far beyond this. Thousands
of tons have been deposited along the
shore at this point to an extent that
whereas in some parts where before
there was but space enough for one or
two tracks, there are now found several
"a regular railroad yard, in fact
all of made ground formed by the
systematic dumping of carloads of Stag
over the bank The channel at this
point is seriously encroached upon and
the water forced onto the Island side,
where it is eating into the property of
Island residents and causing high
water to do more damage than it other
wise would
If Civil Engineer Lohse will make
a clear statement of these facts to the
War Department he viii. earn the last
ing gratitude especially of Island resi-
dents and of river interests desiring to
preserve the natural channel of the
river. The Board of Trade or Coun-
Gil would do well to add the weight of
their endorsement and assistance to En-
gineer Lohse in the proper presentation
of these important facts to the author
