WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-Six Members

This party set sail for the Orien last sum-
mer on the transport Mcclellan, taking
adysntage Of the kindness of the Govern
ment in giving them quarters thereon,
for the purpose OF investigating the situa-
ton in the Philippines. After spending
n pleasant summer in the islands they
determined to make an exploring tour
Of the Japanese finland sea, " TO study the
native Japanese and the commercial re-
sources Of those waters.
The inland sea is very difficult OF navi-
CATION, the channels being narrow n tor-
tuous, especially for single-scrcw steamers,
but 10 accommodate the members named

oauaht up with the party somewhere
in the Philippines, the transport sheridan
started for San Francisco with the party
on board, via the inland sea. But on Ma
aasaki, at the entrance to tho inland sea,
the Sheridan broke her tail shaft and, not
being able to get into n dock near there,
went out Of commission. Zen. Chanee
came to the rescue of the stranded Con-
Qressmen and sent the Warren. another
transport, post haste to Nagasakl ana
took them on board. They We're not dis
couraged In the least by their experience
up to date and insisted OF going through
The inland sea, 40 the Warren took them
along to Kobe, where she went ashore ana
hung up. Again Gen. Chafee sent a ship
10 the rescue, this tim' the Hancock. with
private instructions. IL Is said. TO the com
niander TO get the Congressman back TO
the United States II he had to drag them
on board.
Al any rate they boarded the Hancock,
which could not stand the weight OF such
a marty, and went aground trying to get
out of Kobe. The last Information. how
ever. IL TO the effect that the Hancock has
been hoated and is now speeding 10 san
Francisco, II she has not sunk somewhere
in the Pacific Ocean. Senator Bacon quit
the party after the Warren went ag round,
and landed In San Francisco several days
ago.
The absence Of Representative Dear
mond assures the reelection OF Represen-
tative Richardson az floor leader OF the
minority, a. he was Mr.. Richardson's only
formidable competitor.

The Iola register., 1901-11-15
MEANS THREE NEW BUILDINGS
Illinois Man Buys Business House and
Three Vacant LOts-Plans to
Build Next Spring.

A deal was closed up Monday which
is one of the largest transactions in
real estate which has taken place in
Iolafor some time, and probably the
largest transfer of property on the
public square that ever was made in
one deal. BY it Mr.. Levi Chapman, Of
Vermont, Illinois, becomes the owner
of the building at the corner of Wash
ington and West streets, formerly
owned by the Northrups, and the three
vacant lots on the north side of the
square btween the Davis lot next the
DIR. Cox building and the Parrish lot
next to North street. The considera-
tion for the property was l2, 200, and
the transaction was made through the
agency of w. b. Culbertson.
Mr.. Chapman is not a total stranger
to lola, having visited this city two
years ago with his wife, at which time
he was very favorably impressed with
our rapid growth, our factories and
the future which he thought certain,
and she was much taken with the gas.
Retiring from his farm few years
ago with plenty of means he is now
seeking good investments for some of
his money and so came back to lola
where he makes the purchases noted
above.
A REGISTER reporter found Mr..
Chipman at the fremont hotel and
asked him concerning his plans. He
stated that he would leave the decision
to his wife as to their moving to lola
to live. He thinks the only thing that
may prevent il is that their married
children live in Illinois, Asked about
his plans for the lots he acquires on
the north side he answered that when
settled weather comes in the spring he
fully expects to build two story brick
buildings on one, two orall of the lots,
Just as the business demand of the
town may Justify.
Should he do this there will be but
one vacant lot on the north side, the
corner next North street owned by j
! w. Parrish.

Smelter Combine DELAYED.

Every smelterman in lola and every
other citizen is interested in the pro.
gress of the plan to unite all the fac
tories in huge combine. 1t was eX-
pected that the combine would be an
nounced before this, and the following
from the Joplin Lead and Zinc News
may give the correct reason of the tie
lay.
The News says: "Work on the zinc
smelter combine has not been aband-
oned, despite the lack of information
to the contrary. 1t is fact that the
options which had been secured on
some of the smaller smelters were to
have expired on about November /.
A few days ago the promoters of the
combine suddenly evinced desire to
look into titles and one, if not more
of the smelters was notified that
by depositing its deeds subject to a
thorough examination, the money
would be forthcoming. Examinations
are sometimes tasks requiring con-
siderable time and in the minds of
men connected with the smelling in
dustry this is simply a movement to
gain time. 1t has been rumored
through the better posted circles at
Joplin that a meeting of interested
parties was to have been held in St.
Louis Friday, but if such a meeting
was held no trace of it could be Sc
cured. At Joplin it was understood
that the meeting was called off. 1t is
known that George b. Nicholson and
A. b. Cockerell, who have been inter-
ested in the proposed combine, have
been in Now York the past week. In
money circles in st. Louis the general
impression is that the investing public
is not taking kindly towards indus
trials and in support of this the show
| ing of the steel trust, as made in its
recent report, together with the conse-
quent drop in prices is quoted. That
being the case, the task Of the pro-
moters, in their search for funds to
carry the deal through, is made much
more difficult"
