The Metal or the Future.

A small man with black hair and
beard and eyes that glow like Goals
of fire has come here from st. Louis to
organize stock company for the pur-
pose of extracting aluminium from
clay banks, says the New York 7rt-
Jufle. His name is Guyton, For
several years he has devoted himself
assiduously to the discovery of a cheap
method of producing the metal of
the future as he calls it, and now he
sees millions in an electromagnetic
process of extracting it from its COM
pounds. Whenever a man wants
money for enterprise he comes to New
York. The city is always oyerrun
with schemes and Schemers. Said
Mr.. GuytOu to me yesterday: Seventy
years ago mineralogists didn't know
of the existence Of such metal as
aluminium, yet it is more widely
diffused through the crust of the earth
than any other mineral. 1t is to be
found in every clay bank in America.
The trouble is it is never found alone,
but always in combination with one or
more of two hundred other substances,
such as corundum, ruby. sapphire, and
so forth. When first produced, in 1928,
it cost its weight in gold; it costs now
about half its weight in silver Its
chief use is for the production of alloys.
1t is almost as malleahle as gold, is an
excellent conductor OF electricity, and
is not readily acted upon by any
ordinary acid Its great cost prevents
its use for a thousand and one pur-
poses for which i, is better ADAPTED
than any other known metal. The
sources from which it may be derived
are so abundant, and the uses to which
it can be applied are SO numerous, that
it is destined to become the most inn
portant OF all metals-s uperseding
iron itself. Aluminium is the metal OF
the future

She numbers among her customers
many well-known men, and, between
making inquiries about their health at

the uewsbOys who seek to enroach on
her monopoly of the corner, she is
kept pretty busy. A blessing goes

WASHING TON LETTER.


WASHINGTON, April bth, 1851
The President is at last getting a
httle breathing time, now that the
Senate has adjourned and the office
seekers have been notified that he
proposes to take his own time in
making the rest of the appointments.
The total oumber OF appointments
to date is slightly in advance of the
number made by Cleveland during
the same time. A large number of
important positions remain to be
filled, and they will be, just as soon
as the'President can get an oppor-
unity to decide upon the right men
for them. Among these places may
be mentioned that of Minister to
Germany and China, the Public
Printer, Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office, Commissioner of
Indian Affairs and Supt. of the
bureau of Engraving and Printing,
for each of which there are a mum

pared to confirm him. At any rate
it is thought they are to be given an

Costly Chinese Collins.

All Cheoug. the Chinese artist in
wood, who is now busily at work upon
the fancy wood casing Of the new
Chinese council rooms, when told by
the New York Suns Chinese represen-
tative of the costly coffin of Mrs. Doc
tor Hitler, of Wilmington, Mass, and
her eccentricities, said that that was
nothing.
at is said he, "a very common
custom in China for thousands of years
past for rich men and women to have
not only their own coflins, but their
parents and their sons all ordered in
one batch at wholesale rates, together
with their funeral garments, as well a.
cooking utensils and other provisions
for the other world.
As to the cost of that coffin at Will
mington, SAID All Cheong, laughingly.
that was nothing compared with a
rich mans coffin that he once made at
Canton. China. 1t took him and two
other artists just three years to finish,
and the price paid for the material
alone was over 5000 teals, or $500,
and the work nearly $4,000 more,
which in this country for the same
work would probably be about five
times as much, making material and
work NJ about $4,000.

The Rush for Oklahoma.

At noon on the 22d of April will
begin a scramble and scuthe that
may not end bloodless over the
Oklahoma border. The land open
by proclamation to settlement com
prises less than 100000 acres,
equal to but 4, 900 or 10000 quarter
sections. To sieze upon this there
are eagerly waiting, at Purcell on
the northern boundary, and on the
Kansas border, former boomers and
prospective settlers estimated TO
number between $4,000 and 10000.
1t is impossible all of these may be
accommodated in the limited par
alellogram to which they are now
restricted. Under the decisive action
of the soldiers the territory is APP
pareutly free Of occupants, the
"boomers" having been induced or
forced TO retire, SO that, as far as
appearances 20, it is free scutfie,
But il is definitely understood by all
parties interested that the peace Is
only apparent, and that the former
"suuatters, the men who have under
the long fight suffered the real hard
ships, and really forced the opening
of these ccded lands, will make a
stubborn, and if necessary, desPer,
ate contest TO retain possession Of
their claim in opposition to the new

by right of applications filed. As
both factions are equally determined
it is hardly to be hoped there will
be an amicable adjustment Of differ
ences, even under the eye Of the
troops that may be at hand
It is pretty well attested that the
"boomers," meaning those that were
driven from their located claims,
have formed a league among them
selves to stand by each other for the
retention of their original claims,
against the more recent corners.
These men will have advantage Of
the others in knowledge Of the
country, and in the dark hours Of
the eyentful morning can make

tings," aud 50 gain such benefit as
may attach TO getting first on the
land. The men with patents must
proceed more deliberately, as they
will be at the necessity of determin-
ing their claims by survey; and it is
when they find the other fellows
stuObornly in possession that the
resort to Remington logic aud Colt
argument Is likely to make serious
matter Of this business Of acquiring
new homes.
If the men will be ruled by good
advice, and leave the settlement of
conflicting interests TO the govern
ment, justice will be done, though
individuals may suffer some little
hardships.-Inter- Oceaa.

All this however is merely the
opinion of some who think they

with resolution of thanks, adopted
by all the Posts of that city, for the
appointment of Corporal Tanner as
Commissioner of Pensions.
Considerable comment was caused
here by the action of the Senate on
the day of its adjournment in re-
gard to a resolution Of Senator
Stewards expressing the sorrow Of
the Senate at the death of the Illus
trlous English Statesman, John
Bright. Everybody thought the
resolution would be passed unani
mously, AS this country was under
deep and lasting obligations to MIR.
Bright for the fearless manner in
which he stood by the Union during
the rebellion. Great, therefore, was
the surprise when it was decided to
refer the resolution to the committee
on foreign affairs, on the ground
that It's adoption might establish a
precedent which would possibly
make trouble iu the future. There
Is not likely to be another John
Bright soon, and therefore most
peope think the fears of the Senate
were groundless.
Before the Senate's adjournment

They have them in Europe as
well az 10 America, and in Eng gland
they have them most and worst of
all-trusts being the subject Of re-
mark. They call the salt trust a
salt union in England, but it is a
monopoly, just the same. They
have no tariff duty on salt over
there; it is, or can be, imported duty
free; but this freedom of importa.
ton does not abate the evil of the
monopolistic union.
Let us reflect upon the meaning
of a few figures. Since the salt
union of England went into opera,
ton, which is less than two years
ago, the price of common rock salt
has risen from Sl.25 to 1915 per
ton, and the finer grades have been
raised 1875 per cent. This is not
because of any scarcity of supply
for the home demand, for more than
100000 tons yearly are exported
from Cheshire alone. 1t is the re-
suit of a monopolistic combination
in a free trade country. Since the
moderate duty of 9 cents per 100
pounds was levied at our ports upon
imported salt the price of the home
made product has fallen from three
to 90 cents per barrel. Clearly, the
tariff is not a tax upon American
salt, nor is the absence of Il tariff
any protection against the action Of
monopolistic combinations in raising
the price of English salt.
