Britain Mar Have a Merchant and Manufacture Exhibition. LONDON, Oct. 23. British merchants and commercial bodies are watching the programme of the Philadelphia Commercial Congress with unfeigned interest. The exhibition of foreign samples collected for the benefit of the home manufacturers 13 regarded as striking proof of American commercial alertness, which the papers are urging the London Board of Trade to adopt. Curiously enough, the Board of Trade this very week is opening an Intelligence branch cf its commercial department, whose chief, Llewellyn Smith, Is now in Philadelphia as an active participant in the congress. This department is the outcome of a report of a parliamentary commLs.on urging the necessity of collecting British and foreign diplomatic and consular reports, hitherto scattered through the various government oillcee. thu3 rendering them available to the manufacturers. The acting manager of the deparement said to a reporter of the Associated Press: 'The reports of the immense collection of samples of foreign goods at Philadelphia are a perfect surprise to us, though Parliament once granted the sum of 100 to enable the consuls to make a elmllar collection. How far we shall be able to follow the example I do cot know, but as a member of the Board of Trade I cannot too highly praise American enterprise In this direction."

It Is reported that he went to England;, where he succeeded in obtaining possession of certain papers which his father had deposited in a place of safety some years ago. These are very important documents, and will throw a new light on the deposition and death of Abdul Aziz, the causes which led to the abrogation of the Turkish Constitution and the outbreak of the Itusso-Turklsh war."

With him were Under Secretay of State Joseph Pope, Chief Astronomer W. F. Kin?, who surveyed the line for Canada, and Secretay Goroon. Sir Louis Davies said to a reporter: "I cannot speak at length about the work accomplished In England, as It was confidential. As has been published, a temporary arrangement has been agreed upon and in so far as it will prevent local friction it is satisfactory. The modus vivendi does not foreshadow what the permanent solution of the dispute will be. It was absolutely necessary for u? to come to some understanding, for we had the miners there and the situation was becoming intolerable. The Joint high commission will arrange the conditions on which the question can be settled. Canada only wants what arbitration will give us. We are not grasping or seeking concessions.

ALFRED G. VANDERBILT

TRAITS AXD CIIARICTERISTICS OF THE XKAV YORK CROESIS. An Easy-Golnjr, Handsome, GoodIVatured Boy Who Fell In Love While a Senior at Yale. NEW YORK, Oct. 28. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbllt, who comes into the possession of the bulk of the famous family fortune and whose transfer of $X000.00 to his elder brother Cornelius was tho most Interestirr feature of the settlement of the vast estate, is the second living son of the late Cornelius. He Is tall, dark, handsome, and as easygoing, good-natured and Ingenuous a young man as can be found anywhere in New York's wealthy eet. The new "head of the family" derives the name of Gwynne from his mother, whose ancestors, it Is said, are to be traced clear back to Charlemagne. Alfred was reared according to the Ideas which his grandfather implanted In the mind of Cornelius. Alfred's father. Among these ideas was one that America was good enough for the education of the male Vanderbilts. Cornelius Vanderbilt believed that Yale was better, or more desirable, at least, than Heidelberg or Eerlin, and Alfred was accordingly sent to Yae. When the affable young New Yorker entered the univeisity the collegiate microscope was turned upon him to find out his weak spots, but he bore the scrutiny well and came out of the examination entirely satisfactory to his examiners. He was a youth of good though not powerful physique, with a serene, self-possessed air and a quiet face. But above all it was observed that the immense wealth behind him and the power of his name had no effect whatever upon his manners. These were simple. The spontaneity with which he fell in with his new friends and became one of them won him high ivgard among the hypercritical men of his class. His rooms were rather commonplace than otherwise, and bis dress entirely without affectation. He became popular at once. That there is something more than tradition in the matter of heredity was made plain in Vanderbllt, the college ran, throughout the four years he spent at Yale. His far-seeing policy and his precocious diplomacy changed the face of many a college dispute and prevented many a college ruction, and when he had left the school he had lost very few of the friends he had won In the beginning. In his college activities Alfred Gwynne anderbilt leaned rather to the athletic than to the studious. This was odd for one of his race, jfor he could have excelled In study, whereas there was small hope for one of his build being an excellent athlete. He was especially interest 1 in the contests of Yale at rowing, football and baseball, and many have been the dollars that he lost in backing his institutional teams at these sports. And, too, although not brawny, he was not backward in the practice of the sports he so much admired. While he was in his senior year at Yale Alfred met Mis3 Elsie French and fell in love with her. Miss French was in every way pleasing to Vanderbilt pere. She was wealthy, younger than Alfred and her family everything that could be desired. Once that his mind was st upon his first love, the future millionaire impulsively demanded to be married out of hand. This was p family trait, but Cornelius Vanderbllt, while approving unqualifiedly the choice of his son, reasoned with him calmly and extracted a promise that he would not marry until he had made a tour of the world. To this exaction Alfred, more pliant than his brother, consented, if somewhat reluctantly. He was In the very act of performing th!s promise to his father when that father's death recalled him from the Orient. As soon as he came out of the university Alfred, with his sweetheart still in his mini, began to prepare for the trip, at the end of which she would await him to be. made his bride. The party which accompanied the young man on his travels was made up of Ernest Iselln. W. P. Burden, W. F. Whitehouse and Douglas Cochrane, all friends and congenial companions. They left New York on July 6 last, and, after visiting the Pacific slope and the Alaskan glaciers, went to Japan, where they were interrupted on their course by the news of Cornelius Vanderbllt's death. Alfred Vanderbllt's affianced Is only eighteen years old and very pretty and vivacious. She is the daughter of the late Francis Ormund French, president of the Manhattan Trust Company, and will have in her own right, when she becomes of age, a fortune of about $5,000,000, no mean dower to bring even to the heir of the Vanderbilt riches. LOST MILLIONS BY MARRIAGE. Story of the Estrangement of Cornelius and IIU Father. NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Cornelius Vanderbllt's marriage to Miss Grace Wilson cost him J46.O00.000, or the difference between his legacy and that of his brother Alfred. Cornelius is the elder brother, and but for this marriage, which his father violently opposed, would have become the head of the family and his father's principal heir. In April, when the rumors of the Vander-bllt-Wllson engagement were flying thick and fast, there was a stormy Interview between father and son. Mr. Vanderbilt first pleaded, then commanded his son to give up all thought of marrying Miss Wilson,, but to this young Cornelius turned a deaf ear. At his request a meeting of the Wilson family was held, and they then were made cognizant of the violent opposition to the union of the young people. The Wilsons gave a dinner, at which the announcement of thfclr daughter's marriage In May to young Vanderbllt was made. The wedding did not take place In May. as young Cornelius Vanderbilt was afflicted with inflammatory rheumatism, and the event was postponed, at first indefinitely ami then set for the first week in August. As a last resort Mr. Vanderbilt. accompanied by Drs. Janeway and McBurney, went to plead with his son against the step he was about to take, a few weeks before the date of the wedding. Young Cornelius still was obdurate. He declared that, if need be, he would repudiate the whole Vanderbllt family. Mr. Vanderbllt arose at this juncture, his face livid with anger. But before he could speak he clutched at his ithroat and fell at his son'y feet from a stroke of paralysis. The preparation for the wedding went on and when Miss Wilson and young Vanderbllt were united in marriage on Aug. 3, the father was so ill that his death was expected. When the father regained consciousness he begged that the wedding be postponed until fall, but this request was denied. There have been many reasons advanced for the objection of Cornelius Vanderbllt to the marriage of his son to Grace Wilson. One was that the Gwynne (Mrs. Vanderbllt was a Gwynne) and Wilsons were next door neighbors before coming to New York, and -that there was a disagreement between them which never was forgotten. The Wilsons never were considered as high on the social ladder as the Vanderbilts, and this was glvtn as another reason for the objection. Rut the most probable one of all was the dlfferer.oo in age between Miss Wilson and young Mr. Vanderbllt. At the time of their wedding she was about thirty-throe and he was twenty-two. Since the marriage and before the death of the elder Vanderbilt there were frequent rumors of reconciliations between father and son. Toung Cornelius did meet his father once or twice, but that he never was forgiven for his disobedience is shown by the will. CHANCE FOR YOUNG MEN.

HAVANA, Oct. 2S.-General Lacret. the former Cuban commander, has been offered the post of inspector of prisoners and police by Senor Capote, head of the department of government, at a salary of $300 per month. Lacret replied that he was very grateful for the offer, but that he could not accept a position in which he would have to take the oath of fidelity. In spite of the fact that he badly needed the money which the acceptance of the place would bring to him. Gen. Ruls Rivera said to-day he had received no official notice that he had been relieved from the office of civil Governor of Havana, and would like to know to whom he should transfer his cuthority. The newspapers continue their comments on General Rivera's removal. La Lucha lays the blame for the whole affair an Senor Domingo Mendez Capote, secretary of state In the Governor General's Cf.binet, whom it calls "incompetent and useless." and El Cubano says the entire Cuban Cabinet should have resigned before consenting to dismissal of General Rivera. The Patrla declares it has nothing to say against "a measure adopted by responsible parties to preserve harmony in the government." Gen. Enrique Collazo said, to-day, that Generals Lacret, Rodriguez and Ma60 and others will refuse to accept positions under the American regime, as a protest against the removal of General Rivera. He also said he would propose, at the next meeting of veterans, that no member be permitted to accept an appointment while the Americans control the Island. A meeting of protest and sympathy will be held at Guanabacoa shortly. The more conservative element of the people recognize the lack of harmony which existed between General Rivera and. other authorities and say that, as Rivera refused to resign, no other course was open but to dismiss him.

Alfred Vanderbllt's Experience While Crossing the Continent. St. Louis Post Dispatch. Young Alfred Gwynne Vanderbllt hurried in a special train from San Francisco to New York ten cays ago, that the will of his father, the late Cornelius Vanderbilt, might be read and the world know how the estate is to be divided. On the way, from Kearney, Neb., to Chicago, he had for his guest a tramp. In fact, the tramp was on the train all the way, but young Vanderbllt didn't know It. He was carefully stowed under the trucks In a small hammock arjd got along nicely until Kearney was reached. There he was found smoking a pipe. The trainmen saw the smoke, thought it was a hot box and discovered him. Young Vanderbllt thought It was a great joke. He surveyed the outfit and asked questions. The tramp tells it this way: "What Is your name?" asked Mr. Vanderbllt. "Sam Marks." I said. It ain't, though, for my name is Bill Henderson. "Well. Sam, what Is your business?" "I'm a traveler. My health ain't good, so I like a change of climate once in a while. "Frisco Is rather chilly, especially to strangers." Then the roung man laughed as he took a quick look at me and again examined my outfit. "Who may you be?" I asked, as I closed In on him. "May I ask why you examine my outfit that way?" "Oh. I meant no offense," he said, waving off the train boys, who began to reach for me. "I'm Alfred Vanderbilt. I'm a traveler, too, and a bit of a philosopher, like yourself. May I ask you why you ride there when you might be In the car?" I nearly fell dead and them railroaders looked as though they were against It. Then I got myself together and said: "I reckon I'd had a devil of a time breaking into that car." "Oh, I don't know about that," he said with a funny grin on his face. "But we won't discuss that. This is my car and we have an extra room or two. Won't you join us for the rest of your trip? I would enjoy hearing some of your experiences." "I thank you, Mr. Vanderbilt," I said as soon as I got my breath: "but I'm more comfortable here. You see I'm perfectly safe, and d n It, man!" I blurted, "we tr tmps ain't used to this sort of thing. Besides, I would not be at all comfortable in there. I will take off my rigging and wish you good luck." "Not at all, Mr. Marks," said the young fellow. "Conductor, this man is my guest for the rest of his journey. See that he is not disturbed. I am sorry you will not join us. but hope to see you at dinner." Then he Lowed to me, got aboard and I stood there like a fool. The brakeman came along and told me roughly to tumble in and not delay the train. I dove In under the car and sung out "All right!" and off we went. We got to Omaha before I got my right senses back. To tell the truth, I don't know much about that run-in across the big Missouri. Then I received a message by the porter to come In and take dinner, but my nerves had gone back on me. I was wondering what next, when I heard this: "Mr. Vanderbllt done sent these to you all, but what fur I declare to gracious I don't know." I peered out and there stood the porter with a roast fowl, some nice biscuit, a pie which I think was bought at the station and a big red-topped bottle. I can face a porter all rlpht, so I reached out and got the things. Then I looked the colored man over carefully and said: "To eat and drink, my boy. My compliments to your master and say Mr. Marks hopes he will enjoy his dinner and a pleasant rest to-night. Well, I wish you could have seen that darky. It was the best thing of the whole trip. Once in a while, when we made a stop, the conductor or some brakeman would call on me and ask after my health. They wanted to know If they hadn't better bring out a pillow and some more blankets. I thought they were joshing, and about 30 o'clock at night I told the conductor I would be grateful for a pillow. I hope I may be struck dead if that coon did not bring me one with the compliments of his boss. Liabilities, t:t..1,OOOs Assets, Nothing. TRENTON. N. J.. Oct. 2S.-Ex-Congress-man J.

STORY OP A LEAD PENCIL. Thlrtr Million Pencils Made In One Year In One Factory. New York Tribune. An Industry for girls that Is seldom exploited, but one whose results millions ot feople are daily teetingr. Is the putting ot eids Into pencils. Although no Implement Is more familiar than the pencil, few people know how It Is made or where its component parts come from. The following interesting facts given yesterday by John Walker, of the Joseph Dixon Crucible Company, Jersey City, to a Tribune reporter make one feel that In the manufacture cf even so small an object a big field geographically, historically and geologically has to be covered. "The pine or cedar, the former for cheap pencils, the latter for more expensive ones," said Mr. Walker, "arrives at the factory in small blocks or slabs, a little longer than a pencil, a little wider than six pencils, and of proper thickness. If they are to be colored they are first dyed. All are treated to a process which removes the essential oil and which seasons them perfectly. "The source cf supply for the cedar Is Florida, and so great inroads have been made upon the forests for the manufacture of pencils that the wood Is becoming exhausted. The name 'lead pencil' Is a misnomer, and halls from the sticks of lead which were the primitive pencils. The 'lead Is graphite or plumbago, and comes from the province of Quebec or from Ticonderoga, the latter having the largest mines of the kind on this continent. "One factory turns out 30,000.000 pencils a year. The graphite Is first reduced to an impalpable powder by grinding. Water Is then added, and the substance is run through mixers In a fluid state, in order to combine with It whatever quantity of clay may be necessary to give it the grade desired. The more clay, the harder the lead, and vice versa. After this mixing has been done, which is performed entirely by machinery, the mass is taken from the mixers and run through filter presses In a way to exclude the water and reduce it to a doughy consistency. In order to make the mixing still more thorough, this doughy mass is then passed through dies, by which Is meant plates with numerous rmall perforations, under great pressure; from which the lead as I shall call it, in deference to common phraseology Issues in tiny rods or wires, in general appearance not unlike the lead that is put into the pencils, but. Instead of being dry and brittle, being still In a moist cr soft condition. "The material receives this treatment repeatedly through dies with apertures of different diameters, until finally, when the mixing has been satisfactorily completed, and the mass Is In proper condition. It Is passed through a set cf dies of the exact diameter of the lead that la to go into the pencil. Deft fingers take the product In this condition, straighten out the leads and cut them to lengths of about three feet. At this atage it is still ccmparatlvely soft and pliable. After being cut the leads are allowed to dry, and are then cut to the required pencil lengths and packed In crucibles and burned for several hours In order to extract the last degree of moisture that remains, and to bring the lead to Its final condition. The leads are now ready for inserting in the wooden cases, and are sent to the girls' room. The slabs of wood are put through a machine giving each six grooves, square or round, and at the same time smoothing the face of the wood. "The girls are seated in groups of three, with slabfl. 'leads' and glue pot before them. The first girl takes a grooved stick in her right hand, and six leads spread fan shape In her left, and with one motion fills the six grooves. The next girl coats a grooved strip with hot glue and hands it to No. 3. who takes the filled strip from her other neighbor and lays the one upon the other. The filled ar.d glued f trips are piled together and left In a press to dry. After that they are evened ofT under a sandpaper wheel, an " cut Into single pencils, when they are shaped and varnished, ready for the market" JACK'S fJUIEVAXCES. How lie Mnken Them Knnnn to the . Captain of the Ship. Washington Star. There Is now but one way for the enlisted man, bluejacket or marine, who has a kick to register. He must show his hand and tile his complaint in hU own person or name, verbally or 'n writing. If twenty, fifty, a hundred enlisted men have a common fjrievance. they must present that grievance n delegation to the commanding officer, or In the form of a written bill of complaint, with their signatures attached to It in the order of their relative rating. In most cases the method of presenting grievances in delegation at the mast is resorted to by the enlisted men of the American navy of to-day. The man with the individual grievance occasionally puts his complaint in writing and addresses it to the secretary of the navy. Commanding officers are compelled oy regulations to forward all such complaints to the civil chief of. the navy with, however, whatever indorsements thereon they elect to make. It's generally a moderately bad Job for an enlisted tnan to write a narrative of woe to the secretary of the nnvy. Such a chap doesn't frequently find his after career in the navy one long dream of peace and quiet. Enlited men who have drawn up unreasonable complaints even complaints not entirely unreasonable and thus addiessed them, have generally shed quite some saline tears in their hammocks afterwards over the foolishness of the act. It seems reasonable to suppose, too for human nature is the same on sea and landthat no bluejacket or marine can possibly add to his sumtotal of comfort or happiness aboard ship by more or less bluntly informing the civil head of the Navy Department that the commanding officer of the yuhI on which he mttm Im an unjuat

A Syracuse dispatch contradicts the impression which has prevailed since the death of the author of "David Harum" that Mr. Westcott's family obtain little or nothing from the book. It was announced that he sold It outright for a small sum. He died before it was published, leaving his family almost unprovided for. There hate been many suggestions that the publishers should pay something to hts heirs In view of the unexpected and phenomenal sale of the book. Now, this disaptch says that thy have done so without making any fuss about it, and have already iald over $11.18.20 to the family as royalties, and that a considerable further sum will reach them, as the book is still selling fast. If this is true, the publishers have afforded a new illustration of the substantial Justice so many publishers have displayed. The guild has had to endure a good deal of fault-finding, and some members of It have been greedy enough, but it is to be doubted If they were ever as black as they were painted. A modern publishing firm of good standing generally has prl iclples of Justice or policy that make It deal fairly, even where there Is no bond that can be enforced. Bishop erly 111.
