E She offerings ol copper on the New York Metal Exchange have been sur prisiualy small of late, and tho sup ply s said to be daily becoming less. and it IS thought, will scarcely suffice to supply manufacturers for two months longer Exports from New York have been enormous during the past two months, amounting, m matte, casks and pigs, to ,452, ,230 pounds.
 The Engineering and Mining Jour- nal says of the French Syndicates op- erations: It evidently has fagora- ble conditions every where to fayorits corner. IL is said that it now controls the output of the following producers;
 Cape Copper Company, $500 tonsi Namaqua, 1,500 tons; Betts Cove, 200 tons; Vigshaess, 2,00o tons; Rio Tinto, 25,000 tons; Tharsis, 11,000 tons; Ma son < Barry, 1000 tons; Calumet a Hecla, 25,000 tons; Boston < Montana, 10000 tons; Anaconda, 25,000 tons; Tamarack, $500 tons; Qaebrada, 1000 tons; Arizona, 5000 tons, and Panul- cillo, 5000 tons; total, 127, 300 tons. ! To these may be added the Copper ! Queen, Ariz, which Tn 1887 produced nearly 2,S00 tons; tue Old Dominion, 
 say 650 tons. The Parrott, Mont, say 4,500 tons. The Orferd Copper Com pany, which represents most of the output of small mines and a large part of the Canadian output. Probably also the Quincy, of Lake Superior, and some of the other lake mines, besides the Calumet X Hecla.
 All tbe electrolytic copper made Tn this country is now frmly in the grasp of the Syndicate.
 Ihere appears, in fact, nothing to prevent prices here from being ad- vanced to any figure the Syndicate may wish, but it is supposed the poli- ey will be to make fixed rate of per haps 16 or IT cents to manufacturers and induce them to come in and take their supplies at an early date.

A comparison ofthe printed laws of Montana and Arizonais not calculated [ to make members of the Fourteenth Arizona Legislature feelproud ofthelr achievement in producing the new [ "Kode" The laws of Montana, bound 1 in leather, annotated, and printed on superior book paper, are sold for two dollars. Snide copies of the laws(9 of Arizona are rated to cost purehas- CTS ten dollars, and as consequence Arizonans seldom get peep at the "kode, and, therefore, are not troubled by mental hustle of legal perplexitles enacted by the immortal Fourteenth. Our statutes, happily except copies distributed by direction of law to Ter ritorial officials, are resting topsy tur- wy in stowaway room in Prescott, where rays of glimmering light reach, presumably, through a crack in the roof; and it is well tis so, that spscu lators in the dead volumes of prosti- tated reams may pocket loss.

 The prize fight between our cham pion John L. and the English expert Charley Mitchell, which occurred near Creil, France, on the 10th, was chiefly notably for the fact that Sullivan failed to knock Mitchell out, and for the amount of punishment which the latter took with seeming indifference. although tie tactics which he pursued of lodging and falling to avoid Sulh vans blows showed more discretion than valor. Four times Mitchell was felled like an OK by the sladge hammer blows of the American champlon, but each time came up smiling, which So discouraged Sullivan that in the latter rounds he fought with less spirit, and at the end of the 39th round, rain hay ling made the ground soft and slip pery. and there being no hope that a ! decisive result would be reached, the seconds declared the fight 8 draw Mitchell landed several good blows on lSulliyan's face, but none were of a very damaging character MitcheA's l partial success will doubtless oncour- age others thirsting for gore and no tQfiety to fhallsnge Bostons pet. ---.-.---.---=..-----
 The Star is still harping upon homc rule in the Territories, and at the same time stultiGes itself by approv- ing the administration of Cleveland who ignored the Democratic platform, which he accepted as his wade mecum and promised to give effect to the GOV enent which 1t contained, that "The selection of Federal officers for the Territories should be restricted to citi- zens previously resident thereof. Hughes in tavoriug the re-nomination i ot Cleveland ignores the principle, III such case, that governed Andrew Jackson, who made 1t rule of his life not to trust man who had once de- eelved bim.

ular governor-general Canada ever
had, who has since his residence III
Canada been viceroy OF India. has
resigned that post, and Lord Lans-
Towne, the present governor.general
OF Canada, will succeed him in May.
Tho laster has proved a success; in
fact, England has been most felicitous
in her appointments to Canada of
late years. Lord Stanley, the new
governor.general OF Canada. is heir to
the greatest estate in England, and
though only fairly successful as colo
nial secretary, he is represented as
man OF high character. India's new
viceroy will receive $125,OOO year,
with yearly allowance OF $65, 900.
1t is always consoling for taxpayers
in this country to read such facts.

A statist in the New York Tribune

A statist in the New York Tribune
has been counting up the present
population of this country. He takes
the census of 1880 as his starting
point, OF course, and has to calculate
three elements of increase. That of
European immigration is definitely
known. The immigration from
Canada and Mexico can be guessed
only. He estimates the annual in.
crease of the population by births
minus deaths at 2 ger cent, which is
q very low percentage. He thinks
there are at present 62.523, 597 resi-
dents of the United States. and that
there will be over 81, 900. 900 at the
next census, to be taken two years
hence. The Philadelphia American
has also been figuring on the subject
and thinks the Tribune's estimate
falls rather below the facts, but not
much below. At any rate the coun.
try more than maintains it's prepon.
derance over all the rest of the Ameri.
can continent, and is still! farther out.
growing any OF tho great nations OF

does not include any provisions
concerning the Behring's sea trouble
or commercial reciprocity. The treaty, it
may also be added, does not contemplate
the admission OF fish into tho United

has had the influence of good
home training but turned out
an awful scrapegrace. When he was
sixteen he ran away from home, and was
not heard from for several years. He
landed in Kentucky peuitentiary, con.
firmed thief, and served term OF two
years for burglary. A few months ago he
returned, and was treated as a prodigal.
not only by his father. but wealthy friends
OF the family, who hoped to reform him.
Mrs. Henrietta Owsley philanthropically
invited him to her handsome home and
sought to influence him for good through
her sons. One morning Mrs. Owsley dis
covered that her house had been bur-
g'arizcd OF many small articles OF jew

fected through the rear door. A
description OF the thief tailed with young
Tascott. Mrs. Owsley refused to prosecute.
Burglares in the wealthy residence district
on the West side continued, and young
Tascott, who all this time had been room
ing at Mrs. Wick's as Mr.. Scott, was os-
tensibly pursuing with increased industry
the vocation of reporter on a morning
newspaper. The burglaries and the sup

with equal suddenness the night of the

The Blizzard Fatalities IN Dakota.
From the statistics which tho Mitchell
Daily Republican has gathered. the follow

n storm Of Jan. IL 10 learned. Grcu.
art were sent to the county treasurer Of
each one OF forty three counties in South
Dakota with q request for the exact facts
have been received from nearly all Of these.
Those counties not responding facts al
ready published show not to have suffered
any such loss. This j. the summary:
Auora county. deaths; Brown. l; Bon
Homme, 10; Brule. l; Beadle, 9; Buffa-
10, none; Campbell, 3; Charles Mix.
!; Codington, none; Clark. 4; Dawson,

Sphinx. 4; Sully. none; Sanborn. 4; Turner.
8; Walrath. none; Union. none; Yankton, 3.
It will be seen that the total loss of life
south OF the seventh parallel is exactly
lO5, and this compromises the bulk OF
mortality in the whole of Dakota. for the
reason that in the north half the storm
came up at night or very early in the
morning. while it reached Aberdeen about
IL o'clock a. M, Mitchell at 1920 and
Yankton at 1:2O p. m.
When we consider the area covered by
the storm Of January IL. and realizes that
out OF a population of nearly $50, 900 in
the counties named there were but 1O5
deaths, the outrageous accounts of disas-
ter becomes apparent to even Dakota's
bitterest enemies. The losses in stock will
all short OF 1900 by q most liberal esti.
mate. the heaviest fatality being in Doug.
las county, where 500 are reported as
missing, and the next heaviest in Aurora,
200. In the other counties where losses
occurred the number ranged from three to
100.
