BALFOUR IS THE MAN UNLESS HE DECLINES. CROfTICS OOtMiPLIAlIN OF HIS INODCLP : FBR'BNICIISM ONLY ON HIS DB JOIJINI1NG IS CHAMBiBRiLAIN A J'OSSilBILaTY. " London, March 8. The question Salisbury's suocessor is beginning Of tQ arouse keen interest fwlthout && well as within the British dominions, A few toqnths ago when the, fact of Salishurys approaching retirement ifromi the D-re-(mdershSp first' ibecame known, it was j succeed to bis high ofiice. There has oeen, noweyer, a distinct cnange in tne situation during the winter, due to two developments. The first is that the strain of his "present ' duties has' three ? times .dncapacAtated the leader of . the .house :by. severe, .tout not serious afc i tacks of influenza. The second change is a distinct in crease in the' popularity and influence of Chamberlain This is due more than air else " to his dignified, though : sting ing refbuke to Count Von,Buelow. Th1 natural - inference from "the , ituatioh wouoilt be that there must" exist ia sharp rivalry between Balfour and iChamlber- j lain for the great prize. j Such is not the case. There is a strong ' 'genuine personal attachment between ;the two men. This mutual sympathy "is so potent that it precludes anything ' approaching , contest. What (must happen unless an unforeseen change occurrs, . is, therefore, that Balfour will become the next premier unless he de- clines the office. Itis Balfour's indif- feTentism1-. of wjiich 'his critics chiefly complain. If this indifference . As as strong a they assert, it is by no means impossible that he may .aeciine. tne prem3ersh5p and there Is "n'jaoum ; Chamberlain la the man fwhom the country has marked as his majesty's next choice.. UNKJUE INDUSTRY LOCATED IN ASHEVILLE The First Public Statement of the Aims and Objects of Hull and Ketchum. An industry kxf no small conseauence exists in Asheville that has received less notice, is known and alked less about than any other of equal im portance. Located sj,t the corner of Valley and Sycamore streets is a large ware house, the doors and 'windows of which are kept carefully closed to pub lic gaze. Occupying a large room on ithe ground floor of the structure is the firm of Hull & Ketchum, engaged in the manufacture of slate pencils, dustless blackboard crayons, metal workers' crayons, tailor crayons, Chaltauqua and colored crayons and talcum powder. To gain (admittance it is necessary to produce credentials, since it depends en tirely upoca (who you are, what your business is and how long you wish to stay to 'be able to enter those forbidden precincts. The word "prdvalte" adorns every door. i ' ' , You knock and presently hear the click of a heavy lock and are greeted with a 'What's your business?" through an upopened floor.

The "machinery used- in the manufacture of slate and crayon goods was made by special specifications and is ' not open; to inspection. The plate pencils produced are; of three different varieties hard, medium and soft. The Slate in its crude form comes from Georgia and Virginia and is shipped in. car load lots and costs about $1 per ton aboard cars ait shipping point. Quite the same process as that of milling wheat im followed. The slate is tpoured into a large hopper and runs through a (pow erful crusher grinding it to powder. This powder is poured in a bolting device which screens every particle of grit, 177 threads to the square inch make a thorough cleansing of the ma terial and this is one of the features in whiteh the "proprietors ;claim: a supe riority of their " product , over ; other makers. After the screening takes place the powder is placed in a box resembling a mortar -box, and mixed with cement and w&er, making a dough-like eutostanice. iPronu there to the hydraulic press, the material is car ried and forced ' through dies as , required under 150 tons pres sure. The slate is then in pencil form and ready to be taken to the brick kiln, the dnside of which is built upon, either side with steami (Pipes that furnish the required; heat to harden the pencils. After sev-J eral hours of drying thex pencils are, ready for market. . . - v The factory is capable of 'turning . out 1200 gross of pencils a day. A sharp enlng machine has a capacity of 600 pencils per minute and i& of much in terest. From a rough, tbietee of slate we now have the finished tpendl,- which has taken about ten hours to- produce. A car load of slate which cost about $50 is worth about $3000 after going through this process. People do not engage more extensively in the (pencil business because it takes experience and plenty of capital to make the least kind of a start. Hull & Ketchum have spent six month in nothing but experiments and another six month ordering and install ing their machinery- Not a ipencil has been sold so far. (Crayons follow the same process in manufacture as the pencils with the ex ception that when the material reaches the hydrapdic press, dies to suit the re quired mold are screwed into the end of the press cylinder where the chalk is forced through under high pressure. A thorough test of -the pencils in their finished state will convince one that there is absolutely no grit to produce slate scratches. A crayon that is ab solutely dustless has been the study of producers for years. Hull & Ketchum produced and - illustrated Ijtvdth some samples to the positive conclusion that they had an artitcle that wa absolutely rt listless. - , ' aCt'prrenliaence is now toeing (carried on with European countries, New Mex ico and Central America for the sale of the goods. DISAPPEARANCE OF GREENE AND 6AYL0R PRINCIPAL TOPIC IN SAVANNAH MAY HAVE GONE TO NICARAGUA. Savannah, March 8. The disappear ance of Greene and aiGynor, now fugi tives from justice for failure to appear to answer charges of looting the gov ernment treasury, is the principal topic of discussion here. It is generally be- i lieved that they have gone to some for eign 'country. Some of those interested in the case believe the men can be found in Nicaragua. Tour correspondent was told gome time ago that Green and Gaynor had changed their securieies into cash, ex changing the cash into bills of large denomination. Gaynor is taid to have made arrangements with Nicaraguan officials by which he ' and Green will have a Share in building the IsTicaragua canal. As the extradition treaty with Nicaragua expires 'April 24 the men will be safe from arrest. TEE BLOODIEST BATTLE OF THE WAR REPORTED Oaxaca, Mexico, March 8.

Six days have been , spent in general debate upon the rural friea delivery bill in the house without a eign of objectibn from any source. Monday will be devoted to its consideration under the five minute ' " - - , - rule and then it wilj. toe overwhelmingly defeated. It is argued that the service must eventually be placed under the contract system, which is hateful to the sense of the American people, and that the 50,000 or 100,000 carriers necessary would tcompose a powerful political mar; ichine. (Beyond a further discussion on the measure today the house did nothing important . , Washington, March 8. Senator Pat terson continued his questioning . of Gen.

"I had no intention beyond what I have stated." Mr. Patterson then sought to bring out the fact that the attack -was made before the Filipinos were ready, and Gen. Hughes admitted that the Filipino leaders were absent in a conference at Malolos. He said that hostilities were bo active the next day that .there was no opportunity to attempt to heal the J breech . Senator Patterson questioned Gen. Hughes concerning the effect of Presi dent McKinley's proclamation of Jan uary 19, 1899, for the extension. of the military occupation of the United States to the entire archipelago, asking the witness if there was anything to do but to attack the Filipino forces. Gen. Hughes replied that the policy was to use only peaceful means eo long as they were effectual; but that when these were exhausted, to resort to war. Washington, March 8. A new propo sition for the settlement of the Cuban tariff question has been sumbitted by the representatives of the beet sugar states. It involves .a rebate of the internal revenue tax on alcohol to an amount approximating the loss, the beet sugar .producers think they would ! suffer by the proposed 20 per cent re duction of the Cuban tariff. One of the by-iproducts of the sugar beet Is a low grade black molasses out of (which alcohol is imade. The present tax on alcohol is $2.07 per gallon and the proposition is to p(ay Iback a por tion of that tax as a (bounty to the beet.-isugar producers thereby enabling them to reduce the price of the sugar prodiuiot to meet the ICuban price, while nnvlnfi" tVm fa mn at thp flime irvrice for sugar men onight undersell them.
