The Ural mountains, Australia and the

of gold supply. the first yielding S200o0O00
annually. the second S37000000 and the third
S35 900 Prior to the discovery Of the rich
mines Of the United States, the total produc-
ton was only S6S,000,0o0 per annum The
fever for gold hunting. which was excited by
the finding OF the great mines of the Pacific
coast, rapidly increased the yearly produc-
ton, until in $50 it reached over Sl2e00O. 600,
and five or six years later gold bullion was
mined TO the extent of the enormous sum of
nearly S1s5, 600. This was the largest yield
of any one year, and since production has
gradually fallen away, and seems to have
finally reached an equilibrium of about

The elevation OF kheireddin Pasha to the
position of Grand Ni2ier of Turkey was not
unexpected in Constantinople. though the
career of the pasha Is like that OF some hero
of the Arabian Nights Entertainments. :
Khereddin was at the head OF the Tunsan
cabinet when he was displaced by political
intrigue. set on foot. it is alleged, bv British
agents. He was suddenly called to Constan-
tinoplc to assist in bringing order from the
financial chaos of the empire. SO favorable
was the impression which he created. he was
at once received into the intimacy Of the Sui
tan who lodged him sumptuously in one of
the palaces, loaded him with favors and sent
a yacht to Tunis for his household. Suddenly
there was an overthrow Of the cabinet and
the displaced Tunisian minister was made

call him such is of Circassian origin, tall

The House of Representatives Is entitled to
the thanks Of the country for the passage OF the
bill asserting the principle of Legislative con
question. The details of the bill, however. are
defective. but in q particular wherein it can
easily be amended II the Senate will give this
matter proper consideration. and amend the
bill so as to allow railroads to carry freight long
distances at any rate they are willing to accept
leaving the prohibitions against combination
and pooling in force the country will give to
that body and to all who vote for the bill an

able as the House to resist the seductions and
