ion of Wilmington, chairman of the
special committee of the Chamber oi
Commerco of that city, which is niaH
1 lug a hard fight to prevent the con
fondation of the Wilmington customs
I district with that of Philadelphia. Mr.
' Mullen is In Washington attending
i
' of ,b e Chamber of Commerce of the
! United States, and the Delaware Con
1 gressmen thought It au excellent op
î portunlty to have Mr. Mullen, as a
business man of the Delaware metrop
oils, explain clearly to the Secretary
of the Treasury why the business,
rnanufacturin gaud shipping Inter
ests of Wilmington are opposed to
the consolidation. .
Although the visit to neither Pres
ident Taft nor Secretary MacVeagh
brought forth promises one way or
I the other concerning the proposed
consolidation, the members of the
Delaware delegation in Congress feel
.encouraged over the situation. The
visit to the two officials in whoso
bands any change in the customs ser
vice lies wil not by any means end
(he effort on Hie part of the Dela
| ware Congressmen to prevent the.
consolidation which, as Hr. Million ex
plained to Secretary MacVeagh, means
not only causing a serious inconven
ience and a hardship on the business
Interests of Wilmington, but
as well, the loss of prestige which it
ha staken the business and commer
cial interests of Wilmington years to
acquire throughout the world.
The Interview with President Taft,
which Mr. Mullen did not attend ho
he engagement had been made
for only the three members of Con
gress from Delaware, lasted only a
short time because the President had
arranged to attend a banquet iu Phil
adelphia last night, and it was nearing
train time when the Delawareans ar
rived at the White House. Mr. Taft
listened attentively to the protest and
though making no promises whatever.
regarding what he expects to do in the
matter promised to take Into con.
sidération- the representations of the
Delaware Congressmen before arrlv
lug at a final decision.
The real fight against the proposed
merger was made before Secretary
MacVeagh. as the matter Is in the
hands of that official for execution. He
-was very cordial in his treatment of
Delawareans, and was especially
: glad t0 a g a i„ meeI ^ir. Mullen, whom
! he knows personally. What took place
j during the visit to Secretary Mac
Veagh, which lasted more than an
hour, is prdbably better told in the
words of Mr. Mullen, who took the
responsibility of explaining to the
treasury official, the universal protest
which has arisen In Delaware, and es

failli the business, manufacturing, ship

| The people generally have protested
j against it. I told him, and as one of
I the thirteen original states, wo don't

New York and Philadelphia,
plained that it means much delay and
I that the question of lime in getting our

different from ours.
"Mr. MacVeagh replied that he had
no thought of disturbing any exist-1
Ing relations between ns and the
rest of the world, but that the inten
tion is to give us through larger
cities better information concerning
character of imports, such as smaller
cities cannot obtain.
"I replied that the interests in Wil
mington are perfectly satisfied with
the present arrangement and that to
make the consolidation that is pro
posed would have a tendency to take
away the initiatice—that is that it
would discourage the developing of!
'industries now under way and would
seriously effeet any others that might
now bo contqmplated. I told him It
