AStar reporter met Representative McCreary at the Riggs House this morning. He had just come trom Kentucky, and expects to be in Wash- ington for a week. “We have suffered from a drought in Kentucky,” he said, “and Iam afraid the crops will not be quite as good as usual. Otherwise the State is Progressing rapidly, business 1s active in every Une and the State is being developed. All the Southern States are developing wealth and enter- prise. Northern and English —_capital 48 coming down there. Fully five hundred miles of ratiroad have been built in Ken- ‘tucky during the past year. The report of the | Failroad commissioner, that came out just before Tieft home, snows this. The State has great min- eral wealth; the coal’ fields are more extensive than those of Pennsylvania, All the eastern part Of ‘the State is rich in minerals, and the railroads are being built in the development of these riches, meriieky: Produces just 40 per cent ofthe Lees le country, @ lange per cent of the whisky, an Tthink, there are no better horses than We raise It ts quite wonderful tue way FHE SOUTH 18 SPRINGING FORWARD. Iwas impressed yesterday as I passed through West Virginia with the sight of a burning well, the flames shooting high in the air, They had ‘struck natural gas, and it nad been burning in & big biaze, higher than this celling, for a week. I oWn a plantation down in Alabama, and I take an interest in Watching the development of that State. ‘Therets great and increasing wealth there. It 1s admirably situated, rich with minerals, and well supplied with water. All through the central part ot the State you can dig a Well @ little way down and yet an abundance Everybody knows of the rapid developm-not going on down there. ‘They have their mountains of fron and mountains of coal close together, ‘Whe same conditions exist near the borders of Kentucky, only the iron mountains are in Virginia and the coal in Kentucky, but they are close together in the same way.” PROTECTIONISTS SCANCE IN THE SOUTH. Vhat effect is this development of the South going to have on the tariff? Will it make protectionists of the people down there?” asked ‘Tae Stax reporter, ‘No, it Will not’ make protectionists of them. ‘The term protection has a broad meaning. The people throughout the South want the tariff re- vised and reduced. ‘The place where the strongest “protection” sentiment 1s expected to be found 1s right about Burmingham, Ala,, where all the iron manufacturing 1s On, Mr, Martin represented “that “district in’ the iast’ Con- gress, and voted with Mr. Randall, It was thought that he represented the sentiment of the peopie of Lis district. He lived in Birming} and it Was supposed that they would support But when he went in for the nomination be was defeated on that issue. He had some strength in the city proper, but the people came from the mountains and ‘the valleys and the byways and Deat nim. The majority of the people ot the coun, try demand that tbe tariff shall be redyced; 20 that the revenues will not be more than énough, as We say 1n our platform, to support the govern- ment “economically administered.” Congress must make such a reduction Luts winter, THE PROGRAM WHEN CONGRESS ASSEMBLES. “Do you think you will be able to do so?” asked ‘Tue STAR. ‘Yes; I think we shall pass a bill this winter. A Dill will have to be handied in caucus. A caucus Will be held shortly after the meeting of Congre: at which the outline of a bill will be presen and discussed.” “Tuts OuLlhe was prepared at the conference with the President recently?” inquired the re- porter, Me delleve so,” wasthe reply. «The general outlive was prepared.

A member of the opposition couid take up a day ina speech and then send for an expert on glass, or iron, or steel, and take up Ume in interminable uearings.” OUR COMMERCIAL KELATIONS WITH THR SOUTH AMERICAN KEPUBLICS. Another thing Judge McCreary said he hoped this Congress would do was to take action to bring about closer commercial relations with the republics of Central and South America, “This is one of the most tmportant things that demands the attention of Congress,” he sald. “All tho-e governments are trying to follow us. ‘They are all republics except Brazil, That is the only empire. Thelr natural aMiuities are with us. We snould ave extensive commercial relations with them. They are no longer insignificant governments, ‘The distribution of the trade now fs out of the natural channel, Like Peru, for instance, they are much closer to Us as a people tan Wwey are vo the Eaglish, Yet England’s trade Wii them last year “amounted 0 $8,000,000, While ours Was les tan half a million. Take (ue Argentine Repubile, Germany's trade with that Country was $29,000,000, ours Was only $4,000,000, ‘This 1s thing tust Congress must look tuo, 1 hope the President will make some revoimeuda- ons on the subject In bis message, and that Con- gress will act.” Judge McCreary called on the President during ‘the day. ‘The L-Street Water-Main.

Mr. E Kurtz Johnson, the chairman of the committee, presided, and Mr. Frank B. Noyes was secretary. ‘OL Berret_ and Mr. Kilbourn, of the executive committee, were present, and there was a general interchange of views in regard to the best plan of 5. work. “(here was great interest manifested, and the opinion Was expressed that all the funds needed would promptly be subscribed. Owing to the fact that the arrangements had not been sum. ctently perfected to form an idea of the amount of money needed, Col. Beret was unable to give any estimate. It was thought that probably $10,000 would be required. ‘The chairman was, by resolu- ton, réquested to furnish each memiber of the committee With & subscription-book, and to place One in each of the offices of the dally papers, in Willard’s Hotel, and at any other points which he may deem proper. It was stated that owing to the limited ‘time allowed for completing the ar- Tangements, that collectors would be expected to Teceive the tnoney when the subscription is made. ‘The committee intended to do a strictly cash busi- ness. The next meeting of the committee will be ‘held at Willard’s Wednesday evening. ‘A PROFOSED INDUSTRIAL DISPLAY. Mr. C.8.
