NEWS PRINT PAPER W5RJJST
One Combine That "HnrtN6t Been a
t Success.
WASHINGTON, April 12, The manufac
ture o the news prinfapaper of .he coun
try was the subject of Inquiry on he
part of the Industrial Commission 'today,
John Norrts, business manager of the
New York Times, bains' the witness. Mr
Norris devoted his attention especially
to the International Paper Company, , '
"I will assert." he said. that the In
ternational Paper Company has failed In'
uvcii ca.ijci;i.ui.iuiiiii. jjciu uui lo me news
papers and to the public. The cbst of
manufacture Is greater under consolida.
tlon than under Individual ownership of,
the paper mills. The economies which
were to be obtained under the consolI-.
dated management have not been realized. '
The export " trade has fallen off, or at
least has not Increased, though that was
to be the strong feature of the consoli
dated company's effort. The promised
policy of enlightened self-interest has
been abandoned and the net result to"
newspaper publishers has been an 'in
crease of over $4,800,000 per annum In the!
cost of news print paper." j
He placed the output of news print paper,
at 526.000.000 per year. Mr. Norris said,
the president of the consolidation Is nald '
$56,000 a year, and managers' salaries were
Increased from $7500 to $15,C00.k There has
also been a vast addition to the spruce
lands owned by the company, the area
sepured in tne United states bringing the
aggregate up to 1600 square miles, while
2000 square miles are controlled in Can
ada. ' There had likewise been an In
crease In freight charges. All told, he
placed the enhancement of the cbst price
of producing -paper at $3 -per-. ton. .. .He
knew of two newspapers which were pay
ing an Increase of $150,000 annually on the
paper used by them. Mr. Norris, gave the
daliy output of news print paper at 2055
tons, of which the International Company
furnished 1200 tons, while the"" mills of the
company have a capacity of 1576 tons per
day, and says that there was a constant
increase of producing capacity .outside
that company, notwithstanding the boast
of the International Company that it
owned all paper water powers and all
available spruce lands.- ..--.
Mr. Norris attributed the recent in
crease in the price of paper to 'four
causes, namely, to the Spanish War, the
South African War, the drought of 1S99 and
1900 .and the attempt of the International
Company to monopolize the spruce land.
To meet the last difficulty he suggested
that trade relations with Canada should
be promqted in order that the practi
cally Inexhaustible pulp supply of that
country might be drawn upon.
"We should," he said, "adopt the plan
whlclTTreSldent TtfcKlnley "h-ffs-adVocated,
pi", ferpitting those --taxes which, experience
has shown jtq be most burdensome to the
Industrie's', of the people." .j, ,
He 'assents that the International Com
pany had --opposed CanadlantrecIprocIty
and that the result had beenCanadlan
reprisals ' He advocated tlieremoval of
the tarlnTon woodjnj!n..a'j in'the interest
of all classes. Z-- -

cree of the Supreme Court of Hawaii to
the Circuit Court ot Appeals. The de
cree from which it Is -sought to secure
relief Is for $55,000 on account of dam
ages Inflicted by one of" the company's
vessels In a collision with a sailing" ves
sel, but the case Is regarded of more
Importance because of the general ques
tion raised than on account of Its own
merits. The special point will be that of
jurisdiction or right of appeal from a Ha
waiian court to a court of the United
States proper.

For Democratic Nomination
for President in 1 9Q4t
MAY BE ABLE TO UH1TE PARTY
Washing-ton v Dispatch to" "Wana
maker's Philadelphia Paper Con
tains Announcement Intimated
John R. McLean Is Backer.
WASHINGTON, April 12. A Washing
ton dispatch In the Philadelphia North
American, a Wanamaker paper, asserts
that General Miles will be a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for President
In 1904. Quite a circumstantial story Is
constructed around this assertion.. It 1
said that the General and his friends feel
he can unite the Democratic party, espe
cially the conservative element of the
East, and that he will be not seriously
opposed by the fading silver element of
the South and West.
Miles has never subscribed to either tho
Chicago or Kansas City platforms, and
it has alwaya been understood that ho
was a Republican, Still, he Is one of
those Army officers without any particu
lar politics, and he could as well be tho
Democratic candidate as Dewey, an ex
Republican, desired to be last year. The
announcement caused much interest
among the officers of the War Depart
ment. There was a great deal of reticence
around Army headquarters today regard
ing the report, and General Miles did not
want to discuss It. There Is an intima
tion that John R. McLean, of Ohio, Is be
hind the movement.

The Quid Fro Quo.
NETf YORK, April 12. A Herald Wash
ington special says:
There Is a disposition in quarters not
Immediately connected with, the negotia
tions to believe that Great Britain Is
leading up to the submission of a propo
sition that in return for an abrogation ot
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty this Govern
ment will make concessions In Alaska.
There have been frequent rumors, of this
character, but It can-be stated emphat
ically that the president and Secretary
Hay will under no circumstances alienate
one foot of American territory, and such
a proposition, if submitted, will be Imme
diately rejected.
