CRAIG-Y-NoS NOT SOLD.
Put Up at Public Auction and Revert
ed to Owner-NO Offer over
Reserve Price,

London, June 19.-Craig-y-Nos cas-
tie, the residence in Wales of Adelina
Patti Baroness Rolf Cederstrom) was
put up at auction Tuesday afternoon
at the mart, this city. Craig-y-Nos
was bought in for $4,000, after dra-
matte scene caused by false bid Of
100000, which was the reserve price.
Nine. PATHS reasons for disposing of
one of the most beautiful country
seats in the United Kingdom are said
by her agents to be two-fold. In the
first place, she desires to spend a good
part of each year in Sweden, with her
husbands relatives, and, in the second
place, she finds that the Welsh climate
does not thoroughly agree with her.
Her life, in the future, will be spent in
the country of her husbands birth.
The first bid on the second sale was
100000. 1t was increased by thou
sands and five hundreds, considerable
rivalry being manifested. At e45,000
a deadlock was reached and all other
bidders retired from the contest. Mr..
Lumley announced that the least the
property could be sold for was ESQ.,.
900 and that nothing less than the
latter sum would be considered. Still
the bid of R45,000 was not increased
and Mr.. Lumley announced that under
the circumstances he was compelled
to buy 1t in for the owner, and did SO
by offering price above the last re-
corded bid.

CABINET MEETS.
Session spent In Discussion OF q
Number of Important
Topics.

Washington, June 19.-The cabinet
meeting Tuesday was without i'm
portant feature. There was desultory
discussion of the Chinese settlement,
the situation in the Philippines, Cuba
and Porto Rico, but nothing OF mo-
ment developed and no action was de-
cided upon. The president is prepared
to issue his proclamation declaring
the abolition of duties between the
United States and Porto Rico If the
insular legislature at the eXtraor-
binary session called for July 4 pre-
sents facts to him to sustain the claim
that the revenues under the Hollander
tax law make the island self-sustain-
ing. The cabinet believe that the Chi
nese settlement is close at hand. In
talking of this settlement, Secretary
Hay suggested that the amounts vol
UNFAIRLY paid the American mission
aries by Chinese provinces should be
deducted from our aggregate claim
of $25 100000. The general sentiment
of the cabinet seemed to favor this
course, but no action was taken. Sec
rotary Hitchcock reported that deci-
sion of the courts in the suit to enioin
him from proceeding with the opening
of the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache
reservation in Oklahoma probably
would be rendered in a few days. I'm
til the court acts nothing further will
be done. ...
Secretary Root laid before the cab
met reports from Gov. Gen. Wood
showing most satisfactory condi-
ton of affairs in the island. These re-
lated mainly to the progress that has
been made in the matters of munich
pal government, establishing the
schools, general improvements, sani-
tation and the bettered condition OF
the inha hifants of the island.

undoubtedly the largest and finest
herd Of thoroughbreds in southwest

lack OF pasturage, the animals are In
good condition. The herd comprises
about eighty thorough "eds, seven Of
which were imported from Scotland
and twenty-seven purchased in Cana
da by Mr.. James Waters. About
fifty animals will be catalogued for
a great sale TO be held on the Fair

Philip Allen, Jr., is President.

The Northwestern Tow company, of
Iowa aud Minnesota; The American
Pulp and Fiber company, OF DEBORAH,
Iowa; the Cellular Insulating com
pany of Cincinnati; and the Kelly
company, of Mineral Point, have
been merged into one company, and
organized under the laws of New
Jersey, as the Union Fiber company.
The capital stock is $1,000 900. The
completed here last week, by the cleo
tiOn of board of nine directors and
the officers. Phil Allen, Jr., is Presi-
dent, A. G. Brown, of DEBORAH, Sec

Treasurer.
The consolidation means the remov-
al Of the Kelly company plant from
Mineral Point in the near future, but
both Mr., Kelly and Mr.. Allen are
large shareholders Of the consolidated
company, and Mr.. Kelly will be act
i've in its management and control.
The Office of president Is one more of
honor than of labor, and the duties
will In no way interfere with Mr.

Northwestern Tow company, operat-
ing fifteen mills, have controlled more
than three-fourths of the hax-fber
trade of the country, Mineral wool
products will be manufactured at
Yorktown, Indiana, under the super
intendency of Mr.. Kelly.
The Kelly company, of Mineral
Point, held valuable patents on pro-
cesses for the manufacture OF both
wool and faX-iiber products,
The other companies above named
were anxious TO obtain these patents
for use in the lines of business In
which they were engaged, and not
carried on by the Kelly company.
The value of the processes and pat
ents were recognized by these com
panes, and the consolidated company
Is the outcome of such recognition.
In spite of many difficulties, Messrs.
Kelly and Allen have faithfully la.
bored to build up large manufacture
ing plant in Mineral Point, and are
entitled TO due credit for their Efforts;
but conditions made it both necessary
and profitable for them to join with
the other companies.

THE CAUSE AND THE MAN.

In the recent Ohio Democratic state
convention minority resolution was
offered by n delegate re-afIirming the
Kansas City platform OF 1900, and cx-
pressing confidence in Mr.. Bryan.
AS stated In the press reports At the
time, the resolution received only six
votes out OF $50 delegates, on the sub
stitute for the platform preamble.
Hon. w. j. Bryan said In the next
issue of his paper, The Commoner,
that the mover OF the minority reso-
luton erred In including In 1t the
clause expressing confidence In Mr..
Bryan. The Chicago Chronicle re-
plies to him In the following just and
able article:
"Mr. Bryan does himself an Injustice In
suggesting that tho cause embodied In the
Chicago and Kansas City platforms should
not he made TO suffer on account OF the sins
Of an individual, meaning himself.
"The cause has not suffered ~ II result OF
any shortcomings on the part OF Mr., Bryan,
On the contrary, the cause has gained not
a little by reason OF his identification with
A. The cause hus been rcpudintod by the
Democrats OF Ohio and will he repudIated by
the Democrats OF other states, not because
Of any sins committed by Mr. Bryan, but In
spite OF all the personal virtues that he
brought TO its support. The sins " the
cause are notorious. and not even the hon
esty, sincerity and ability Of Its chief de-
..l....,
with amy other populist, socialist or sill
yer republican who Gun be named In the
position that MIR, Bryan gained In Chicago
In 1906 the whole preposterous movement
Tor IL descent to the silver basis would have
fallen into disgrace and chaos long before IL
did. He IN the one man In the who cntn-
CORY under whose leadership two campaigns
IN defense OF II demonstrated error wore
possible.
This being the case, no self.abnegaton on
the part OF the late candidate IL called for.
SO far M the movement ever had respectable
ity or plausbility or possibility of success,
the fact wns due To him and to nobody else,
with Teller or Towne or Pettlprew or TIL
man or tBlnnd or Weaver or Davis or
williams In tho lead the seriousness OF the
enterprise would hardly have survived ono
campaign,
at IL we'll to take this fact Into account,
for IL shows how probationary II bad cause
may be advanced by II good man, and how
great IL tho responsibility ofa political lead
or who takes up lightly the vagares of the
ignorant and selfish,
mir. Brynn's honesty and candor, his
great ability M IN advocate, his unquostion
AID sincerity and singlcness Of purpose and
his tremendous zeal and energy were fully
recognized In tho remarkable fact That n
cause already discroditod was by him gal
yAnized into new life and, though defeated
and again dlscredted by the sober Judgment
of the people, was nevertheless uproarlously
paraded for four years In its grave clothes
and through another disastrous campaign,
Nobody else could have done IL.
"ln continuing his embrace OF this body
~ death MIR, Bryan Identities himself so
closely with IL that the rejection OF the one
involves the rejection y, the other. He Is
the victim, however, The cause was not
worth the sacrifice.
