 Newgate prison is soon to become thing of the past, and London will be bereft of an- other of it's old landmarks. A body of arch- itects has just been paying it last visit to note the peculiarities of it's structure. The original building was in use for the confne- ment of prisoners of rank as early as 1916. It was rebuilt two hundred years afterwards, and again after it's destruction by the great fire in London in 1866. Just before the Cor don riots of 17S0 it was reconstructed, and the interior being burned in that disturbance was shortly afterwards restored. In 1857 it was altered to bring it more in accordance with the humane spirit of the age.
 The San Francisco Bulletin says that the proposition of the southern Utes to sell their reservation in southwest Colorado and remove to a reservation in Utah, west of the Colorado line, is a shrewd business maneuver on the part of the Indians. For strip of land 6f- teen miles wide and nearly one hundred in length they ask $50, ,00O, 200, ,000 sheep and g, 900 each for their five chiefs, besides per mission to hunt in the LaSalle mountains The Utes only number about five hundred, are lazy and worthless and will not work since an agency was established, from which they draw rations. The LaSalle mountains are said to be rich in minerals, but from which prospectors have been kept away by the hostility of the Indians, who have way- laid and killed several parties attempting it.. The great copper corner isn't doing well, that is, for the cornerers. Nearly all the great copper mines of the world were induced to cooperate, selling their output to the sym dieate at price considerably higher than the market rate and sharing in the profits ob- tained by fixing the price to consumers near- | ly twice as high as it had been under the un-
 restricted operation of the law of supply and | demand. Having monopoly of the worlds supply, the syndicate could make it's own terms and gain enormous profits, but the con- sumption fell off and the syndicate accumu. lated immense stocks, for which it could find no market Now it is reported that the sym
 dicate has refused to buy more copper, the market is demoralized and the great monop oly is breaking up.
 Ii Hung Chang, the viceroy of China, and | the most powerful man in the empire, de- clares that he will advise the emperor to ex ! elude Americans from his country. The l Worcester Spy makes the following appfo priate comment upon this declaration: And our government will have no right to com plain. We have, in defiance of treaties, de cided that Chinese will not be received ir
 this country, and China has submitted to the
 exclusion, because there was no help for it
 but not without feeling the insult and in
 tending to resent it. The action which thu
 viceroy proposes would seriously interfer. with, if it should not entirely destroy, oul
 direct trade with that country. which would
 be 6 considerable loss, but not more than Ii
 deserved for the arrogant and offensive char
 aoter of our legislation as regards that na tion.
