Phelps, Dodge & Co.,, of Nos.

"0ur European advicss, ' Mir. Phelps added, "ars rather meager, and until matters calm down soms- what, no judgment can amount to much. The copper output has been very large--far in excess of the de- mand-and this fact has hampered the Societe des Metaux, but l don t think that thls great cry of overstock has 50 strong foundation as is pretty gen erally supposed. It was the same way when the furry in tin came. Every body said the market was flooded, but when people went right ahead and filed their orders 1t was found that the stock was just about normal"

 The Brooklyn Elevated and Union Elevated roads of Brooklyn are sx- psrimsntlng with crude pretroleum a, fuel, and it is said they will come to a conclusion within the next tea days either ts push the experiments further or abandon them. The petroleum is stored in the tender, and is fed to the fire frem small pipe that throws a continuous spray of the fluid combined with air.
 "Ws are watching the experiment very closely" said President Frederick Uhlmann, of the Union road, to a re. porter, flor if it proves successful we shall adopt it on both our roads. There has been plenty of talk about substituting petroleum for coal as fuel on Locomotive engines, but l have nev- sr known It to be used successfully ex- cept in Russia It IS used on all the railways there. The expense of rail- ways in great cities in the matter of ashes alone is very large, and especial ly so when thsy arc elevated roads. In addition to this tho dirt and dust caused by the use of coal IS nuisance. The use of crude petroleum would re- ducs the cost for fuel about one th,rd.

Alaska Paid Tor.


 The United States paid S7,500,0o0 for the Territory of Alaska, and at the time there was much unfsvorabls criticism regarding the expediency of the purchase. It was objected that the territory eas not needed, and that 1t was mere waste ef money. But we are beginning to reap the fruits of this purchase, The money received by the Government for tho seal fish cries is already $7,000,000, while aa indirect revenue has accrued of S3,- 100000 more. Thus, as a financial ventura, the purchase has proved a good one If that country should prove to be filled with minerals, es- pccially gold and silver, the wisdom ei tbc purchase would become more ap- parent. There are many indications of the existence of gold there and a thorough exploration of the region ought to be made, Besides, timber is abundant, and as we are rapidly con- suming ours nearer home, the time is near when it will bs necessary to draw supplies from the Alaskan fer ests for our own use.-Bankers Mag azine.

Keeping Eu:ter,

Mrs. ksdzie. of the Kansas State Agricultural College, writes ill the Manhattan lndustriaIist:
 About the end of last May, for the sake of experiment, l buried in the ground jar containing twenty pounds of butter. The hole was made almost elght feet dsep. l designed to have the top of the jar SIX feet below the surface of the ground. The but ter had been packed in layers with salt bstwesn, and a thick layer of salt on top. Over it was turned plate somewhat larger than the top of the Jar, and this was tied down with a cloth. The first of this month the jar was dug up and opened. The butter was as firm and yellow as when packed. It had no sign of raneidlty, and the only evidence it gave of beng old butter was the very decided packed butter taste it was found to have.
 To person accustomed in the East. ern States to packing summer butter for winter use, it is good butter. Much depends on taste in this matter but in polnt of perfect sweetness as applied to butter, thls jar full, made and packed eight month ago, is just as sweet as that made last week.

The silver Problem.

The opponents of larger coinage of silver are alraady manifssting some unsasiness about the effect which the admission of the new states will have on what IS called the "&ilvsr question. :" It is taken for granted that all of the eight new Senators will favsr the un- limited coinage of silver. The Senate has heretofore bssn the barrier to an increase of ths silver coinage, but a considerable number of members of that body favor 1t. Should the addi- ton of eight more western Senators give the supporters of a larger silver coinage the majority, there is every reason to believe that majority of the house would also favor it.-Atlan- ta, (Ga.) ], Journal.

 The troubles of the copper syndicate have called attention to the prevalence eftrustS :. Y, .r,",ifops. When Mr Blame said that there were large number ia England quite chorus of denials were made, and there were numerous arguments to show that the trust was essentially an American institution. The London Iron and Coal Trades Re view gives list of some of the more important combinations to maintain prices and restrict production. The list is admittedly incomplete, but among the articles affected and con trollsd arc steel rails, copper, lead, tin, zinc, salt, coal, dynamite, wire, screws and window glass. The countries of Europe having the greatest number of trusts are Great Britain, Germany, Austria, France and Belgium, the two first named having the greatest num- bar, and being also interested in sev- sral international syndicates It seems obvious that Mr. Blaine is good deal more truthful than hls critics,

The reports of the recent fire which destroyed the beautiful and costly gate of ths imperial palace in Peking de- clared that the young Chinese Emps- TOT was greatly alarmed, while the ssethsayers held it to be an evil omen.

 In school district Tn London there were many parents who reported no children in their families. In order to find just hew many children were thus being kept from school, the school authorities got two monkeys, dressed them gaily, put them in wagon, in which was a brass band, and started for the district. At once crowds of children appeared and followed the wagon, which drove to neighboring park, when ths school officers went among the children, distributing can dies and getting their naaes and ad- dresses. They thus found that over sixty parents kept their children from school; and as a result of the msnksys, the brass band and candy, about POO little boys and girls have been set at study.
