A GOOD MOVE.
From the Reese River Revellle.

From he Reese River Reveille.
Representative Willard of Eureka
last week gave notice of concurrent
resolution demonstrating against the
passage of Senator Stewart's last min
ing bill. This move is good one,
and shows that MIR. Willard, who is
a practical, hard-working miner, IA
miliar with the character of the
veins and mineral deposits of east
ern Nevada, is wide awake to the
bad effects which would be sure to
follow the passage of Senator Stew
arts bill. We have already express
ed ourselves on this subject, which
is one of great importance not only
to the miners and prospectors, but
to all classes of business men
throughout the country.
The plea of avoiding litigation,
which is the one set up in favor of
the bill, is very plausible one, but
will not bear examination. Ii that
really was Senator Stewards object,
he could have framed bill to ac-
complish the purpose without plac-
ing the entire mineral wealth of the
State in the hands of a few men.
Small, square locations, with the
corners clearly defined, instead of
the present mode of claiming veins
on their length, would avoid all dis
putes quite as effectually as Senator
Stewards plan, whilst it would leave
a chance to others besides the first
prospectors who might strike n nav
district. The passage of such bill
would greatly check the settlement,
of the vast mineral regions now about
being explored, because experience
has shown, that the extent of paying
ground in each of our mining dis
tricts rarely if ever exceeds the limit.
Of two such locations as Senator
Stewards bill allows. There being
no inducements left for any one after
the first locations were made, the
natural result would be that the
newly discovered country would Ii,
idle in the hands of poor prospect
ors, or would pass into the hands o
rich companies which would care fo
nothing but their own immediate
interests. A few cabins, black
smith shop, store, and perhaps ;
whisky mill would be about the ex
tent Of the settlements likely to TAX
place in districts organized unde
provisions Of Stewards bill. Thi
might do in Mexico but not here.

After some discussion, the Gov
ernment accepted the condition with
this modification:
Except, if in the course of time
these two nations should spontane-
ously agree upon sovereign, ETC.
Don Fernando refused to adopt
any reservation on that point. He
also demanded that certain amend
ments should be made to the Span
ish Constitution before accepting the
throne; but the Government at Mad
rid objected to submitting that ques-
ton to the Cortes until after his
election as King. These negotia-
tons occupied several months, and
were once or twice suspended ntire-
ly as hopeless, but renewed by
friendly Intervention. Finally, they
were broken off altogether, and the
causes already stated were assigned
as the reasons of the failure. But
persons who are familiar with the
facts, attribute
THE RUPTURE
To another and very different mo-
tive. At one of the last meetings
between Don Fernando and the
Spanish Minister, at which the
Countess della was present, His
Majesty inquired what would be the
eventual position of his wife should
he go to Spain. After putting the
question he withdrew, leaving Mad
am and the Minister to settle the del
icate point between them. The Min
lister stated that she was at liberty to
name any title, distinction or dota.
tion. adding that she would always
be the first lady of the place, to
which the Countess replied: $50 fan
so good; but his majesty desires my
position to be as clear as possible
What / wish to know is, what viii
be my part on great ceremonials lik,
the opening of the Cortes or Other
corresponding OCCASIONS" The air
of this inquiry was evident. ana
THE MINISTER
Was not taken by surprise. He re
joined that she might be made
Duchess, or grandee. or have an,
other title, but as "Queen-never
never !"
This took place on the 18th o
July, and when the conferences wer
going on there was perfect under
standing that the refusal of Do
, Fernando to take the throne woul
involve the most grave complies
! tions, and probably the war which
still raging for it was then know
that the Spanish Government il
= tended to turn to His Majesty's sor
in-law. the Prince of Hohenzollerr
if the negotiations completely failed
As soon as it became certain ths
L there was no probability of inducin
Don Fernando to go to Madrid unles
Il the Countess dEdla was recognize
e rs Queen, the offer was made to III,
e henZollern. So it may be said tn;
great European war, with all i
!; vast consequences, is to be attribu
d ed to the unsatistied ambition of

A hand that il loving. bold and leal,
And free for friendly clasp:
A hand to give and hand to gain
To steady the pillow, To reap the grain,
Or 10 guide the ship o'er the raging main.
An honest hand for a friend To hold
With grip both fond and true;
A hand that Is mightier far than gold.
And ever ready 10 do;
A hand for the weak 10 grasp at need,
That often tolls for a scanty need,
And manfully works for a noble deed.
A hand that is blackencd with labor's

And bold in the cause OF right:
A tender hand by the couch OF pain,
Its touch by love made light;
A hand for woman TO loving cling,
To make on the anvil the iron ring,
To level "A throne or crown king.

would be impossible. He proceeded to
argue generally against changes. Each
reduction, he said, has failed to bring
about an increase of business to com.
pensate the Department. The shilling
rate produced fl30,00O; the six penny
rate f93,0OO; the three penny rate
only E47,0OO. The total cost Of the

contract was f833, 900; total receipts,
1858, 900; loss, f47O,OOO, Mr.. White
understood the postoffice had a surplus
of FL 100000, which might be applied
to a reduction Of the ocean rate. Mr..
Gladstone opposed the resolve, and beg
ged that the matter might be left to the
discretion of the Government. Mr..
Seeley secuted the Postmaster's Gen
erals estimate of losses. He had reason
to know that the Government at Wash

and England should be ready to meet
it. The resolve was defeated, and a
substitute embodying Mr.. Gladstone 8

BROOKLYN, May 3.-The extensive
establishment Of John II. Prentiss, well
known hat manufacturer on Raymond
street, was totally destroyed by fire to-
night. The building occupied two
blocks and form the largest manuiac
tory in the United States. The fire
broke out shortly after eight o'clock in
the afternoon and spread with great
rapidity. The flames illuminated the
city for miles around. The building is
completely demolished with all the
valuable stock Of hats and the material
for their manufacture. The firemep
worked only to save the adjoining pro-
perty. The loss on the building is
about $4,000, and damage to the con-
tents is estimated at 100000. Nearly
every insurance company in New York
is interested in the insurance. One hun.
dred and eighty hands we're employed

Proof manufacturing company, caught

Enforcing the Ku.Klux Law.
The Times Washington special says
The first step towards the execution Of
the Ku-Klux law will probably be the
issuing of proclamation by the Presi'

short time, calling attention to the pro
visions of the law and his purpose to en-
force it promptly and thoroughly when
ever it may he violated. There is con-
siderable evidence Of good moral effect
of the law in suppressing the disorders
at the South already exerted.
