Leaving out Of the question the
great political growth of the United
States during the hundred years of
her existence. on looking back We are
amazed At the advances made By the
country in that period. Only . CEN
tury ago charcoal iron VAS produced
TO the extent Of about 5000 tons
yearly; twenty years later the pro-
duct vas but S. .00O tons, even Great
Britain In 17Ss produced only q, 30
tons, not 30 much O. some furnaces in
the United States now turn ont yearly.
The manufacture Of steel WAS just be-
ginning in the states; twenty years
latter only OF tons were produced in
the country. The coarsest pig iron
then cost about as much as steel rails
do now. Last year the American pro-
duction of pig iron was d .49u, s.S tons.
ana the highest price Of best foundry
pig was 81 ton. The output Of steel
rails was. in round numbers, $50 600
tons and the best price $3.50.
A single American railway now
buys more iron than both
Great Britain and the United States
made a century ago. There were
neither railways then, nor iron
bridges, nor buildings; no petroleum
pipes, for there was no petroleum; no
gas pipes, for there was no gas light
Ing even in Europe until later. Wash
6agtOn lived in an age Of darkness in
stead Of the electric light, the people
had candles costing about cents
apiece. In al the departments and
applications Of chemistry, the CEN
fury has simply created new world.
American pressed glass, which has
completely revolutionixed the supply
OF table and house ware, is an
invention Of the last sixty years.
Farming in Washington day knew
nothing OF machinery; even the
first iron plow, patented in 1877, was
q failure, for New Jersey farmers
thought it poisoned the soil. Mowers.
reapcrs and harvestcrs began to be
invented about the same time, and
even the ordinary implements were
ouch as il would not now be thought
possible 10 use. The steamboat was
practically unknown, and the railway
entirely until forty years later, an
the cost Of transportation by wagon
cnntined the area OF possible produc-
ton with profit, as TO most crops, to
the margin Of navigabie waters. In
fact, new world has been created in
this century. The old methods. tools,
products and artisans have vanished
As completely as If they belonged to
another planet.

Firemen In the Ruins.

MILWAUKEE, March 2.-Firs has de.
stroyed the building on Broadway owned by
Mrs. Bosworth and occupied by j. E. Jen-
ner j. Co., milliners. Jenner's loss is $685.
600 to $4,000, insurance So, 200. The loss
on building is $50, 0OO. insured for 800 0G0.
When the fire was partially extinguished the
four floors fell in burying dozen tiremen
in the basement below. Their comrades
quickly replied to the groans and pitifol ap-
peals for help and one by one they were
slowly extricsted, the work occupying more
than an hour. All were quite seriously in
jured end manned and two or three will
prob ably die before morning.
The fremen worked for two hours in OK
Treating the injured men from The ruins.
Shortly after midnight the body of Edward
Noonan aged 26, unmarried. was taken out

RYAN AND SPRINGER.
To Congressman Thomas Ryan
History Will Give the Credit.
Inc Purchase Of the Creek and Semi
mole Lands Includes all Of Oklahoma
Proper-Location Of Land Omces and
reclamation Of the President Will
Open 1t to Settlement.

WARRINGTON. D. c., March 2.-The Indian
appropriation bill. as it passed the house,
contains provision ra.ifying the purchase
OF the Seminole lands, and directing that
these lands, together with those lately pur-
CHASED from the Greeks, may be opened to
settlement by proclamation of the pr. sident.
who is authorized by an amendment, pro-
posed by Mr.. Ryan to establish two land
omces at convenient places. The provision
also extends the town site laws over this do
main, and authorizes the president to offer
the Cherokees the same sum for their outlet
that has been paid the Greeks and Semi
noles, and in case this offer is accepted, the
president is further authorized 10 open the
same to settlement under the homestead
laws and establish the necessary land offices.
The practic Il effect of this provision, as
may be readily seen, will be to open five
million and possibly Cif the Oherokees &C
cept the offer that will be made them)
eleven million acres Of land under the Ryan
act of 1885, at the discretion of the president
end without further action by congress. In
short, it opens Oklahoma.

OOJSCtOx 34OAI1k5n 4I1CAs
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 4.-Hon. Win
liam Holman, the willy member from the

trick on the house, which was not discov-
cred until next day. he has for several
years urged a rereal of the presumption Law
an 1 has made two or three reports from hi
Committee recommending such legislation.
Thu, far, however. the house has refused to
repsal the Law aud it still remains on the
statute book. During the cons deration of
the Indian appropriation bill Mr.. Holman
took an active part 10 the psooeed ings Sew
eral amendments were offered relating to
the disposition of Indian lards restored to
the public domain, aud Mr.. Holman made
several suggestions, which were adop:ed.
Nobody paid any particular attention to his
maneuver-, aud it was not until the printed
bill was Issued that some ons discovered
the trick. 10 an amendment relative to the
Seminole lands the little clause, (which il
hereby repealed" had been inserted imme-
diately after reference to the pre,mption
law. The eject Of this clause as adopted in
