Mr.. FooTE's CoMMITTEE.-The proposition of
Senator Foote to appoint a committee of thirteen,
to whom to refer all the compromise propositions,
WILL it is supposed, says the Baltimore Sun, OF the
18th inst, pass the Senate to-day. A correspond
ent Of the Philadelphia North American, in allu-
ding to it, says; ...
Various conferences have recently beenheld inre-
gard to the organization of the proposed committee
which have resulted in an understanding that the
following gentlemen shall compose it. and be elect
ed whenever the resolution is carried: Northern
Whigs--Mr. Webster, Mr.. Phelps and Mr.. Cooper
Northern Democrats - Mr.. Cass, Mr.. Dodge of
Iowa, and Mr.. Dickinson. Southern Whigs-Mr.
Bell, Mr.. Berrien and Mr.. Mangum. Southern
Democrats-Mr. Mason, Mr.. Soui6 and Mr. Foote.
There was general concurrence of opinion on all
sides that the influence and position of Mr.. Clay
peculiarly pointed him out as the most proper per-
to preside this committe. When it was
sgnilied to him that such was the desire of ma
jonty of the Senate, he readily acquiesced
1t will be that the name OF Mr.. Calhoun is
| excluded from the committee. The views which he
expressed on two recent occasions forbade the hope
of any conciliatory disposition on his part, and j
was therefore, considered more prudent to encounter
his opposition in the Senate, than to embarrass the
deliberations of the committee by Improbable ant
exciting discussions.
| Whatever measure they recommend, it is thought
will pass the Senate by large, if not over
| whelming vote, and will meet with the same sue
cess in the House.

MANIFEST OF THE CALIFoRNIA REPRESENTA-
TIvEs.-The evening edition of yesterdays Plea
yune has the following " 1t will be seen by the
congressional proceedings of the 18th nst that the
U. ). Senators and Representatives elect from Cal
ifornia have addressed long document to Congress,
communicating copies of the State constitution,
their credentials and formal request for admission
into the Union. They express the astonishment
and regret with which they have learned the exist
ence OF an organized, respectable and talented op-
position to the admission OF the new State, and
ter at length into history of the territory, the
ganzation of State, the population and other mat
tiers pertaining to the subject. The address is a
clear and forcible statement of the grounds upon
which California presents her application for ad.
mission into the Union. According to its state
ments California contains 107, 900 inhabitants
nearly double the amount necessary to secure her
ADMISSION into the Union. Of these 10000 are
American emigrants, the remainder being Califor-
mans and foreigners The address is manly in tone
and sentiment, and concludes as follows"
'This people request admission into the American Union
as State. They understand and estimate the advantage
which will them from such connection, while they
they do not highly compute those which will be

When the application was objected to gently,
they insisted upon entering, till they were

COPPER ORES AND MANUFACTURERS.

There are now three large copper smelling
establishments in the United States lone at
Boston, one in New York, and one at Bati-
more. The furnace at Baltimore requires S.
600 tons ore annually. The Boston works
about the same. The annual consumption
of smelted copper is 5000 tons of which the
Lake Superior mines furnish 4 ,OOO. 10
Until the year 1912, the town of Swansea,
in Wales, possessed monopoly of the copper
trade.
The copper ores OF Chill and Cuba, the late
Australian discoveries, have constituted new
sources of supply.
England manufactures $4,000 tons of refn-
ed copper annually the county of Cornwall
alone furnishes ores for Il, 900 Ireland,
North Wales and Devonshire, for 200 more.
Her own mines therefore supply $4,000 tons,
and foreign mines 10000 tons Great Britain
exports $4,000 tons refined copper annually,
India is her largest customer, France next,
and then the United States, In the year
1914 we imported from England BIAS tons
and in 1916, 2,l71 tons-being over million
of dollars its value annually.
II is believed that the Superior mines can
supply the American market, though it j:
doubtful whatever the market can ever be
glutted, the demand increases the cheapnes:
of the material. uf
The mines CT Chill will probably rival in
productiveness those of the Lake Superior re-
gion.-Free Press.
