to which all claims ordered be referred.

was greatly interested to-day in listening 10 his
views Messrs. Proctor and Cockrell agreed
substantially as to the conditions in the island,
and they agree as to the outcome of the pending
negotiations with the Cubans. Senator Cock
rell told the President that, in his opinion. the
Cubans would accept the terms of the Platt
amendment in the end. After the commission
appointed to visit Washington understands the
situation he thinks there will be no other
alternative open to them In this view Senator
Proctor concurs.

Mr.. M. B. Harlow stated that should
our people erect buildings suitable for

with one floor of any building where
sufficient light could have been OBJ
tsined. He neither purposed buying
or erecting q structure, but was anxious
to lease one. There was but one
place which met his requirements, and
that was the Mount Vernon Cotton
Factory. He found he could not lease
even one floor of that building, and
had been compelled to leave the city
reluctantly. Mr. Harlow further
stated that other cities were ready to
m set such requirements; that syDdi-
Gates were formed, buildings erected for
manufacturing purposes and money
loaned those who were ready to embark
10 such enterprises. He thought a
similar spirit should be manifested in
Alexandria. The people OF Norfolk,
he said, had offered to put up 10 sixty
days times suitable building for the
gentleman who wanted to bring his
silk factory to Alexandria. The meet.
ing adjourned after sn hour and half
