GOOD RESULTS OF THE FAIR.
Profitable Advertising for the Philip
pines.

Washington, Aug 1S.-Colonel Clarence
r. Edwards, chief of the insular bureau
of the war department, returned. this
morning, from St Louis. where he went
to attend the Manila Day exercises at the
Fair. He finds that the presence of the
honorary commission there. including
substantial Filipinos who know the
country thoror ghly. has had much to do
in interesting American capital in Filipino
investments. Some time ago a Toledo
manufacturer who had to buy copper
came here to inquire about establishing
plant in the Philippines and he was sent
to st. Louis for conference with the Fill
pinos themselves. with the result that his
plans for considerable investment have
now been completed. Other American en-
terprises in electrical railways. mining
and sale of agricultural products have
been attracted by the Fair. ard these
experiences, in Colonel Edwards opinion
go far to justify the expense to which
the inSuar treasury has been. The Gov
crnmcnt believes that it practically made
a sale of its plant in Manila. Its estah-
liShment was a war necessity at tn" time
but ir the present unsettled conditions i.
was thought unwise for the government
to engage in private business, and so 1t IS
being closed.
