The fifth annual convention of the National Association of Manufac- turers will be held in Boston on April 24, 25 and 26. The business sessions will be held in Tremont Temple. The convention will be called to order at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, April 24, and business sessions will be held morning and afternoon on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The concluding session on Thursday evening will take the form of a banquet, which will be tendered by the citizens of New England to members of the National Association of Manufacturers coming from outside of New Eng- land. This banquet will be held in the Mechanics' building, and will form one of the most important functions of the sessions of the Association. It will bring together not only members of the National Association of Manufacturers, but a large proportion of the membership of the New England Cotton Manufacturers' Association, the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, the New England Shoe and Leather Association, and the American Paper and Pulp 'Association, all of which have been in- vited to co-operate in this final feature of the convention. It is expected that President McKinley will be the guest of honor on this occasion, with the Chinese minister, Russian ambassador, 'Hon. John D. Long, secretary of the navy, and other men of note in public life. It is said that the Cramps paid $250,000 cash for the plant of the Charles Hillman Shin & Engine Building Co., which adjoins a part of their works and which they purchased several days ago. Lhe property is subject to two mortgages, held by the 'Clyde Steamship Co., for $50,000 and $15,000 respectively. The plant includes a marine railway, ready for immediate operation, and machine and boiler shops equipped with modern appliances, besides pattern shops and a mold loft, together with a wharf 42 feet wide and extending into the Delaware river for 155 feet. The yard lies alongside the Cramp dry docks and will be used for repair work, thus greatly relieving the main yard, and giving the Cramps a much-needed extension of facilities. The Hillman ship yard suspended operations two years ago, on the death of Charles Hillman, the founder of the enterprise. Last year a company was organized with a capital of $600,000 to float the concern, but nothing was done in the way of a resumption of work. The largest steamer ever constructed in a French ship yard, the Savoie of the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique, was launched a few days ago at St. Nazzaire. She is 533 feet long and 60 feet beam. Her tonnage is 10,500, and her engines are of 12,000 H. P.. calculated to give her a trial speed of 22 knots. She will run on the line between Havre and New York.
