MAKE THEM NEARER HOME.

Mr.. John r. Young of the firm of
Ellis-Young Company is Of the opin-
lon that the earthen cups used in the
Herty method of collecting the crude
gum from pine trees can be manufac-
tured nearer home with distinct adj
vantage to producers in the matter of
freight rates, and Mr. III. &. Steele,
president of tho Ludowici Tile Com
pany, recently established at Liberty
City, may be approached with the sug-
gestion that his plant begin the manu-
facture of them, provided the clay that
Is to be used in the tile be suitable
also for the cups.
AS Mr.. Young explained. Liberty
City is near the center of the naval
stores section of Georgia and Florida,
and as consequence the cheaper
transportation would be quite a saw
ing to the manufacturers.

WILL REPORT ADVERSELY.
On Resolution for Investigating
Virginia's Constitution.


Washington, Dec. 2.-Elections Com
mittee No. of the House decided to-
day to report adversely on the resolu-
ton offered yesterday, proposing that
the credentials of Garter Glass, elect
ed to the House from Virginia, be in
vestigated. The resolution was pre-
sented with a view of having an in
quiry made into the new Virginia con-
stitution as regards alleged disfran-
chisement of voters.
The. committee decided that no ac-
ton was advisable at this session, in
asmuch as full delegation from Vir-
ginia and from other states, which
have adopted new constitutions, will
present credentials at the beginning of
the next Congress. Therefore, the COM
mittee believes it is best to let the case
of Mr.. Glass pass for the session.

CRITICIsE THE MESSAGE.
Not What English Papers Expected
of Roosevelt. fh

London, Dec. 3.-Some OF the London
morning papers regard President
Rooseyelt's. message as disappointing
inasmuch as he adopts. cautious and
conservative policy, rather than a
revolutionary one in dealing with the
trust question and the tariff.
On the whole, however. while care
fully examining the message in detail,
there is not much disposition on the
part of the press to strongly criticise
it. The general impression is that
President Roosevelt has been influence
ed by the warning echoes of the last
elections. and that he seeks to attract,
rather than attempted to compel. the
support of Congress.
A leading paper says: 1.-THE message
is more remarkable for the lofty ideal
ism Of its language than for any bold
ness in its specific communications. /"

SILVER Is DOWN Low.
In Mexico Situation Is Town Against
Country.


City Of Mexico, Dec. 1.-THE premium
on New York Exchange ranged around
les and 1859 to-day. There was little
business done. although most of the
merchants regard silver as having a
small chance of permanent recovery.
The dominant topic in business and
financial circles is the gold standard
and how best to get the country on a
gold basis.
In one respect the struggle outlined
over the gold standard is one of city
against country. The large farmers and
planters it is said fear the gold stand
ard, even though the present dollars
are retained and given an artificial
Value, will cause a rise in the wages
of their Iaborefs. and hence they are
strong partisans of silver.
Every drop of cent in the value of
silver means a heavy loss to the rail-
ways and other large corporations.
