MINERAL PRODUCTS.

The Enormous Product Of 1887 in the U. s.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-Davis 7. Day,
chief of the division of mining statistics, has
submitted . summary Of the mineral pro-
ducts of the United States in 1887, in ad-
vance of the official report. The total value
is $3.50 ,345. 1t shows a wonderful gain
over 1885, and is $1oo, 100000 greater than
the output of 1885. The United States leads
the world in the production of minerals.
The principal gains in 1885 were in the pro-
duetion of metallic ores and fuels necessary
for smelling them. The production Of pig
iron alone was more than 100000 600. The
high price of copper caused q metallic ex-
pansion IN that industry. The product of
coal is the largest ever recorded. Taken as
q whole, the report showed great prosperity
for the mining industry. "The grand total
value of more than half q billion dollars"
the report says, ssresulted not only from the
increase in quantity of minerals mined, but
also from the general advance in prices in
the metals. It may be several years before
this total is exceeded, and the year 1888 will
fall considerably below it.. Among the
many reasons for the decrease this year is
the decline in railroad building.

Mr.. e. L. Henderson, of the Yellowstone
National Park, in An open letter to Rev. E.
P. Hammond, says the eruptions Of Excel
sior geyser, which began the last Of April,
still continue. There are periodical erup
tions of greater volume than Old Faithful,
and fully as regular. There are no indica-
lions of the eruptions weakening. This will
add another strong feature to the attractions
of the Park this summer.
CONGRESSMAN SYMEs pressed Delegate
Voorhees, to the wall in the debate last Sat-

Democratic and Republican parties on the
question of admitting Territories. VOORHEES,
tried to evade, aud finally refused to yield
any more of his time to the colloquy, but
Symes boldly avowed VOORHEES, knew that
every Republican member of the Committee
on Territories had urged the admission of
Washington Territory both in the 10th and
the present Congress, and that the Demo-
cratic members tied it up with other Terri
tories in the Omnibus bill. voorhees,

A Blow at Tacoma's Industries.

TACOMA, W. T., July 27.-Universal sur
prise and indignation are expressed through
out this Territory at the action of the public
land committee of the House of Representa-
tives in amending the Senate bill enabling
aliens to " mineral lands in the territories
striking coal and iron from the bill. 1t is
looked upon as a serious blow to the interests
of the territories should the house adopt the
amendments proposed by the committee.
Iron ore is needed everywhere as aux for
smelling ores of precious metals, and in this
Territory a strong foreign syndicate stands
ready to establish extensive blast furnaces
and rolling mills if they can legally acquire
iron lands. The contamination of this en-.
terprise would add largely to the wealth and
population Of the Territory and furnish
work for thousands of men.

General Order No. 8.
In view Of the period of great political ex-
element upon which the country Is now
entering, the Commauder-in in Chief deems it
his duty to call the attention Of all comrades
to the following extract frem the Rules aud
Regulations:
"No officer or comrade of the Grand Army
of the Republic shall in any manner use this
organization for partisan purposes, and no
discussion of partisan questions shall'be per-
mitted At any of its meetings, nor shall any
nomination for political Office be made"
Art. XI, Chap. 5.
Tie continued prosperity and usefulness
of our fraternity depends upon the avoidance
of even . suspicion that 1t can be used by any
person or in any locality for any partisan
purpose whatever. The members of the Or
ganization, as citizens Of their country, have
all the rights and are subject to all the duties
of citizenship. They have, and should have.
their political convictions and party afflia'
tions, and their right to advocate and pro
claim them and to differ III regard to them,
IS they do, is in no wise questioned; but f.
deity to the principles If the organization
and . due regard for its efficiency and vel.
fare, urgently demand that any and every
violation of the letter or spirit of the above.
cited rule should be s%tudiously avoided and
promptly condemned. Comrades are re-
minded that the uniform of the order should
not be worn at any political gathering, and
they are admontshed 10 d%iscountec ance the
use Of all political badges or devices in any
way calculated to associate the Grand Army
of the Republic with any political party OF
candidate. To the end that the fraternal
ties which now unite us may not be impaired
by partisan contentious, this warning is pro.
mulgated and commanders of Departments
and Posts are directed to supplement the
same by all proper methods.

Military Prisoners.

LEAvENwoRTH, Kansas, July 30.-Last
evening as . guard was escorting three
prisoners from their work to the military
prison at Fort Leavenworth, one of them
suddenly sprang upon him, and %wrenching
his gun away, dealt him . blow on the head,
crushing his skull and inficting injuries
that will prove fatal. The three then made
their escape and took refuge in a corn field.
An alarm was given and the cavalry turned
out, and with two companies of infantry the
three were driven into an old we'll from
which they refused to emerge. A rock was
dropped into the we'll which struck one OF
the prisoners on the head, knocking him
to the bottom, and the other two then sur.
rendered.

Wyoming Specially Favored.


WASHINGTON, July 26.-The House has
passed q bill with amendments permitting
Wyoming Territory to select, protect and
lease its school and university lands, and the
Senate has concurred in the amendments.
In the discussion in the House on the bill,
Toole, (Montana,) offered an amendment
that other Territories be included. Holman,
chairman of the committee, said if the
amendment prevailed the bill would be laid
aside for the present.
Carey, (Wyoming,) said he believed the
measure a wise one; that he had framed the
bill with great care, and that, as amended, 1t
Is strongly endorsed by the land department.
That while hs would be glad to see it made
applicable to other Territories he was not
willing to delay its passage nov, as this
might defeat the measure finally; that he
had labored three years to pass such q bill,
and that it would enable his Territory to
select, protect aad lease for school purposes

Natural Gas Not Permanent.

A Pittsborg special in the Chicago tribune
quotes selwynn Taylor, . prominent local
mining engineer, as saying:
"Within " years At furthest, coal lands
will be selling for what they were con.
sidered worth before natural gas was Thought
Of. This will be due largely to the failure
Of the gas fields to supply the demand ~ n made sas
upon them. Gas, like oil, will in time ex-
haust itself. New fields may be opened,
but taking all in all I think the outlook Tor
coal was never so bright since natural gas
came in use. 1t is not published, but oil the
large gas fields are playing out. Murrays-
Vile has seen its best days, and all the wells
in the Beaver and Ohio Valleys are going.
The prospect for fields large enough to take
their places in case o ftotal failure are net
bright by any means. The big natural gas
companies recognize this as q fact, and are
e%xpending thousands Of dollars on . process
for making fuel gas. This Is significant. In
my Judgment W. years will see the end to
natural gas as q fuel"
This opinion has caused considerable IN
e~asiness among holders of natural gas stocks.

AS TO THE TERRITORIES.
General Harris on Recognizes Their Right to
Admission.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 27.-A thousand
Hoosiers, principally from the northern por-
ton Of the State, paid their respects to Gen:
Harrison to-day. In the course of his re.
marks Gen. Harrison referred to the legisla-
tive apportionment, and the application of
Washington and Dakota Territories for
Statehood.
He said the apportionment of our State for
Legislative and Congressional purposes is
known to be unfair. It was intended to dis
eliminate against the Republicans. I hope
the time has now arrived when the sense of
justice which possesses our people will teach
men Of all parties that party success is not
to be granted at the expense of injustice to
any of our citizens. When the Republicans
shall secure the power of making the appor-
tionment I believe the experiment of seeking
party advantage by public injustice will not
be repeated. There are other questions af-
fecting the suffrage. There are in the North
west several Territories organized under
public law with defined boundaries filled up
with brave, enterprisjng and intelligent
young men from all the States. Several of
these Territories have been for years pos
sessed Of population, wealth and all the re-
quisites for admission as States. In South
Dakota there are nearly half q million of
people. For years they have been knocking
for admission to the Sisterhood of States.
The Territory has more people, more miles
of railroad, more post offices, more churches,
more banks and more wealth than any Ter
r:tory ever possessed when admitted to the
Union. Our people are called upon to take
part in a Presidential election, and the intel
ligent and patriotic people of Dakota are de-
prived Of any participation. They are de-
prived Of their appropriate influence in the
Electoral College only because the prevail
ing sentiment is Republican. If we appro-
prlately express sympathy with the cause of
Irish home rule, shall we not also demand
home rule for Washington and Dakota? The
day when men can be disfranchised or shorn
of their political power for opinions sake
must have an end in this country"

TIE Congressional immigration investi.
eating committee, with Guenther as Chair
man, which.hAs been looking into the Castle
Garden and other immigration abuses with
IN evident purpose to get at the bottom Of
some of the infamies connected Herewith,
has been rewarded by the discovery Of . ter
rible state of affairs, especially as relates 10
Italian immigrants, the greater portion of
whom are brought in IS contract laborers
and live as vilely as animals. They also
disclose evidence of the fact that there are
secret societies in Germany, and especially
in Bavaria, formed for the purpose of send.
ing discharged criminals to the United
States, and while 1t could not be established
these societies were government affairs, 1t
was stated by Paul Wolff, Washington cor
respondent Of the Stats Zeitung, that Royal
Counselor Bauer is President of one of these
societies., and Prince Regent Luitpold was
honorary member of another. This is . nice
state of affairs-inaking the United States
not exactly q penal colony for Bavaria, but
shipping their worst criminals here after ex-
piration of sentence. Over 1000 marks had
been expended in shipping these infamous
characters, and tbs larger the family the
better, to the United States in 1886, and it is
still continued. This is one way the coun-
try has boon suPPlied with Anarchists and
the like, to breed their kind and spread the
virus of laziness, discomfort, intrigue, muir
der and Anarchy in America. What the
United States, and the States, need to do
right away is to enforce the present immi-
grafton laws against imported paupers, GRIM
inals and contract laborers vigorously, and
strengthen the laws wherever they are weak.
In the meantime punish quickly and to the
uttermost every demonstration by the Anar-
chists, and break up their organizations.
The statement that there are 5000 armed
and organized Anarchists in Chicago is .
menace that calls for prompt and effective
measures TO break up and disarm these
sgroups'' before they strike. Chicago, ILL
nois, and the Republic cannot afford that
they shall continue.
