Smelters Will Be Built on the St. Lawrence River and Ore to Be Transformed Into Finished Materials. Ogdensburg, N.Y. Jule 12-lhe first intimation relative to the plans of the men who have betn in this city for the last six months experimenting with the peat in the bugs in this see tion and building expensive dredging machinery for handling the same, is now given out by the patentee, Wal ter 1. Griffin. For cighteen years, and up to last October, Mr. Griffin was a commercial agent in Europe for the United States goveriiment. He resigned to superin tend the demonstrations of his inven- tion, which is the basis of Ogdens burg's new enterprise. Capitalists here contemplate the erection of 'immense iron works in Ogdensburg equal to any works in the United States or Europe. The plan is to build on the banks of the St. Lawrence, a few miles above this eit immense smelters that will handle large quantities of ore, which can be brought from Lake Superior districts, Canada or different points of New York, and turn this ore into a finish ld product, such as structural steel, It is not the present idea to make simply iron « or steel pig. but the scheme is to turn out all the pro ducts as finishid material. Tn addi tion to this will be laboratories, work shops, machine shops dnd perhaps shipyards, as the resources that = are offered are said to be sufficient to meet all requirements the moment the work develops. This plan will involve the employment of nny hundreds of workmen. The dredging plant 'recently launch ed in Black Lake in connection with the preliminary work takes the raw peat from the bog, climinates the water produces a commercial article ready for consumption. Concerning the deposits in 8t. Law rence, Mr. Griffin says they are of average quality, with varying depth of from four to fifteen feet. There are several hundred thousand acres in this vicinity, the land now being practically worthless. Out of five tons of the crude peat as it is in the bog, four tons of water has to be re moved to give one ton of solid, hard fuel that will equal coal. Glidden Cup Automobile Test On.

Created over a Pension in England. BALFOUR'S ACTION OBTAINED AN ALLOWANCE FOR HIS BROTHER. The Latter is Incompetent--Hicks- Beach Was Induced to Swap His Pension for a Peerage, and Rest Was Easy. London, July 12.--The late Marquis of Salisbury looked well after his rela- tions. A. Balfour would never have at- tained such distinguishable euthience in public life had he not had the good fortune to be the Marquis of Salis- bury's nephew, He followed his un- cle's example by doing his best for his connections. An instance in this point is the granting of a pension of $6,000 a year to his brother, Gerald Balfour. He is fifty-three years old, and has taken advantage of the abundant lei- sure he has enjoyed to tbecome an ex- pert with the knitting néedle. He can embroider. Macrame work also comes to his deft fingers. In crazy work he is an adept. But these unusual maseu- line accomplishments would hardly suffice to keep the wolf from any man's door. Fortumagely, be has never had to make a living. His brother made him president of the board of trade, with a seat in the cabinet and a salary of $10,000 a year. Probably that office had never before been filled by a man with such little knowledge of anything connected with trade, But that did not prevent Arthur Balfour from con: sidering the project of creating a new office for his brother, that of minister of comunerce, with a salary, of $25,000 a year. This scheme, however, fell through. Meanwhile, there had been so much growling over Gerald's in- competence as president of the board of trade, that Arthur deemed it ad- visable to" shift himi. He made him president of the local government board at the same salary, with a seat in. the cabinet. the conservative resignation question arose what was to be done for poor Gerald. There are a fixed number of pensions open to former ministers, Arthur Balfour found them all pre-empted. The last one----$6000 a year--had been granted to a former chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Mie- hael Hicks-Beach. After Sir Michael had secured the pension he sold a piece of property to the government for $500,000, which was considerably more than it was worth. Notwith- standing the rule laid glown by Mr. Gladstone, when he was prime minis. ter, that the recipient of such a pen: sion should surrender it if at any time he received any considerable ae- cession of fortune. Sir Michael still considered himself justified in hanging on to the $6,000 a year drawn from the national treasury, There was no chance of getting a pension for Gerald unlese Sir Michael could be induced to give his pension up. He was offercd a peerage and ac- cepted it, taking the title of Lord Saint Aldwyn. Then he surrendered his pension, although the peerage had not added a dollar to his income. Of course, there is no direct ovidenoe that the offer of a peerage to Sir Michael was made conditional of his' relin- quishing his pension that Gerald Bal- four might get it, but few juries would hesitate to accept the responsi- bility of finding that such a bargain had heen made. Gerald Balfour applied for the pen gion the day after Sir Michael had re- linquished it, and before the public knew anything of his self-denial, Ar thur Balfour's last official get . as prime minister and first lord of the troméury, was to grant the pension to his brother, 'WHAT'S GOING ON HERE ?" ------ Asks Supposed Corpsd at An Inquest.

WHAT IS BENEFIT ---- Of Having Country's Capital in Its: Midst. Ottawa, July 12.-An interesting vigitor in the city, to-day, was B.

Mr. Ed: wards has ben on an extensive tour of the old country, and one of the ob- jects of his visit to Ottawa is to sive up the advantages accruin~ from the location here of the capital.

All Wars for Ninety Years Due to India or Colonies, He States -- Cost Almost Exclusively Borne By United Kingdom. London, July 12.---At a complimeit- ary "banquet, last night, at the Na- tional Liberal Club, the lord chan- cellor emphatically denied that the liberal party was unfriendly to the colonies, They were desirous of main tating the present happy relations for all time. At the same time they should face the fact that all the wars of the last ninety years were due lo India or the colonies. Save in the case of India the cost was almost exclusively borne by the united kingdom. Practically the only danger of collision arose by the con: tigmity of the colonies to foreign na: tions, They must always be generons |.40- the moan on the spot, 'but must not allow proconsuls to frame a pol joy for this country. As evidence of the colonies relying on their own resources, the lord chan cellor mentioned the fact of Canada taking over the garrison, and Natal bravely fighting the natives.
