protested against, and resolution passed in
structing the captains of all vessels belonging to
the Association that are enrolled and licensed

ELECTIONS.
The Latest Returns from the States


The latest returns from New York indicate
that the Democratic majority in the State is
from 1000 to 10000, and that there is a Demo
cratic majority of two in the Senate. The As
sembly is doubtful.
Later returns from Massachusetts do not
greatly vary the first estimate of Governor
Clahin's plurality. The Legislature is heavily
Republican, and the anti-Prohibitonsts have
majority of nearly fifty in the House. About
twenty Labor Reform candidates are elected to
the Legislature.
The latest returns of the New Jersey election
show Democratic gain of one Senator and
three Assemblymen. The Senate now stands 13
Democrats to 8 Republicans, and the House 33
Democrats to 27 Republicans.
Returns from thirty-four towns in Minnesota
show Republican majority of 292, and the
majority in the State is estimated at 5000 to 4000
The Republican majority in Wisconsin, ac-
cording to the latest returns, will be from 1000
to 10000.
The West Virginia Legislature, according to
estimates based upon the returns of the recent
election, will stand as follows-Senate, 19 Re-
publicans to Democrats; House, 81 Republi-
cans and 25 Democrats. Many of the Republi-
cans are classed as "liberal."
Returns from Illinois, where the election has
been for members of State Constitutional Con-
vention, show that the Republicans will have
small majority in that body. In Chicago,
citizens municipal ticket has been elected by
over 10000 majority.

The Utilization Of Blast Furnace
Slbp.

At the Cleveland Institute of Civil Engi-
neers, Mr.. Crossley has recently brought for
ward some interesting facts and suggestions
with regard to the possible utilization of blast
furnace Stag, Mr.. Crossley states that blast
furnace Stag is a compound containing an ex-
cess of lime; gray Stag contains in 100 parts,
and on an average-silica 1925, alumina
22'19, lime 31'56, magnesia 4'14, protoxide
of iron 1'09, manganese trace, sulphide of
calcium 2'95; but its composition is not uni
form, and differs according to circumstances.
Several things can be done with Stag, though
its chemical composition would lead us to
imagine that it is almost valueless. 1t can be
converted into paving stones, it can be used
to obtain sulphate of alumina, illuminate of
soda, and pure silica for the manufacture of
porcelain. The author makes known plan
of his own in which the Stag, after being pull
verified, is treated with hydro-chloric acid,
which gives the silica in a gelatinous form,
whilst the alumina, lime, magnesia and iron
are dissolved. The solution is evaporated to
dryness, washed with water to dissolve the
soluble salts, and the insoluble residue is
treated with sulphuric acid, by which means
sulphate of alumina is formed, the solution of
which may be decanted off; the silica, after
washing the water, is left in pure state.
The sulphate of alumina may either be evapo-
rated to obtain the salt in solid or dry state,
or it may be directly used for the manufac-
ture of alum. By this process they will give
a product worth e3 per ton, and another
worth ct per ton. Every 100 tons of Stag
will yield 33 tons of pure silica and 147 tons
Of lphate of alumina. In some districts
certain of the rarer chemical substances are
found in blast furnace slag and might be ex-
tracted as by-products and sold to the dealers
in chemical curiosities. Scientific Re

THIRTY-FIVE YEARS.
Whnt ChnnRes Hnve Occmrred.

How singular are the changes which time brings
about Thirty-1ye years ago Mr.. Garrison was
mobbed, his press destroyed, and his life was I'M
danger The persons who attacked him boasted
loudly OF their conduct, and for many years after
wards Mr.. Garrison was man held in little esteem
by the general public, although he had always, for
pressed, the respect and esteem of good men and
women.
But now, at last, the cause he then almost alone
defended has made such friends that one Anson
Cooley thinks 1t a promising speculation to claim
a reward from the public for having as he asserts
he did rescued Mr.. Garrison from the mob which
sought to take his life.
It matters little whether he did or did not rescue
Mr. Garrison; II he did he did his duty as a citizen
and should be ashamed to make it the ground OF
begging appeals. But what announcement for re-
formers is found In the fact that during MIR Garr-
sons own life so great change has come over
public opinion that a man seeks popularity and
money by asserting that he rescued the once des-
pissed abolitionis from death at the hands of mob
IL should be added that Mr.. Garrison denies that
Cooley rescued him,-N Y. Post

Fires Last Might.

About ha,f-past six o'clock last evening smoke
was seen Issuing from the building No. 118
North Third street, west side, above Arch, and
before the alarm could be given the flames broke
forth from the third story windows, lighting up
the whole neighbOrheod. The firemen soon ar
rived at the scene, but owing to some unaccount-
able cause some fifteen minutes were allowed to
elapse before any water was thrown upon the
burning mass. In three minutes after the first
stream had taken effect no flames were to be
seen, but soon the whole neighborhood was be-
logged with smoke almost sitting in its
density. The firemen, thinking they had con-
quered, were about taking taking up their hose,
when suddenly the fire broke out with increased
force, and in q few moments had licked the roof
From that time until after o'clock it burned
stubbornly, despite the immense quantity of
water that was thrown upon it. The building
adjoining, No. 100, on the north, was filed with
queensware in crates packed In straw, and com
bustibles of this nature were scattered through
out the whole building, which was threatened
for some time but through the active exertlons
