HeIigoland.

Eightr three years ago the islet of He'll
goland was captured tTCm the Danes by
British feet under Admiral Russell and
seven wears later it was formally ceded to
Great Britain by the Treaty of kiel. To-
day the representative of her majesty will
withdraw from it, and it is expected En-
peror William will drop in on his way
home from his visit to the Isle of Wight,
to inspect his newly acquired possession.
The opposition which at first manifested
itself In England to this surrender of even
so small and insignificant portion Of
British territory Was >n0rt-llyed. The
fact that the islanders were German IN
everything but their allegiance deprived of
much Of the weight that it might other
wise have had the objection that they had
not been consulted in the matter.
This OF lection, moreover. has been fully
met by provision IN the agreement bill
securing all their immunities to them and
giving them the optic Il OF electing to re-
main British subjects.
The appeal TO sentiment based on Brit
ism dislike to any eesSIon of British terri
tory met with little response when it be-
came evident that the advantages secured
in East Africa as part OF the Bargain
were of immense value.
1he recognition OF Sne BRUSH protector
ate ovar Zanzibar. the delimitation of the
spheres of action on the mainland. ana
above all. the establishment Of cordial and
mutually helpful relations with Germany
were quickly seen to be wonderfully cheap
at price; and 50 dislike of the bargain soon
vanished.
In Parliament the bill giving effect to
the treaty met with little real opposition.
the chief objection TO II being that raised
by Mr.. Gladstone and supported by Mr.
William HarteourE, that treaties involving
the cezsion of territory 5 ould Sc effected
By the crown on the responsibility of
ministers, and not by legislation Mr..
Gladstone contended that the procedure
adopted in this case practically divided
with the house Of lords a control which
had alwavs devolved On the house Of com
mons. 1t was pointed out, however. that

Of the time. lust now it is demonstrating
that the SIT tariff ON steel rails is "a howl

shows that in 1897, when prices were low
in Europe and high in America, the diff

plants in England and America was quite
small. In England SS70 was paid in
wages for 81 tons Of production; in the
United States sl2O5 for Al tons. Since
then. IS everybody knows, says the Tri-
bune, English wages have advanced and
American wages nave receded materially,
until now under the Duquesne schedule,
as published, American wages would be
considerably less per ton than English
wages.

A Mountain of Salt.

From the St. Louis Republic.
 Amass of %, 1000, 900 tons of pure, solid, compact rock salt, located on an island 1855 feet high, which rises from miser- able sea marsh on the route from Bras hear to New Iberia, up the river Teche in Louisiana, is one of the wonders of the world. How this island, which con tains over 300 acres of excellent land, ever came into existence in such local ity is matter of conjecture. Vegetation is prolific and the scenery is beautiful and varied. In the center of this island, |, which is the only solid spot in the vast expanse of sea marsh for miles around, rises Salt peak, the largest body of ex- posed salt in the world. Having never been surveyed, it's rock extent IS as yet unknown. However, Engineer Brown, who has visited it, says that there is not less than 9O,0O0,0O0 tons of pure crystal salt in sight. The dazzling clearness of Salt peak forms striking contrast with somber lagoons, bayous and salt marshes which surround it on all sides.

AN ONYX DEPOSIT.
Description of the Prescott, Arizona,
 Mine Recently Uncovered.

Description of the Prescott, Arizona,
 Mine Recently Uncovered.
 Denver Republican.
 "There is wonderful onxy deposit about twenty-five miles from Prescott" said an old Arizona prospector yesterday to q Republican representative. 'It is on the old Black Canon stage road, and, although all the old-time prospectors have passed over it and camped upon it, its value was not known until recently. There is stage house near the place, and one day the stage driver was talk ing about marble palaces and bright stones which he had heard of. An Irishman who had listened to him said that there was a stone back of the station which was finer than anything he had mentioned. He went out, got piece and polished it on grindstone. The stage-driver was surprised at the result and still more SO when he found it to be onyx. He and the Irishman filed on the deposit and since then it has changed hands, through purchase three times. It is now being developed by wealthy capitalists of Los Angeles. The onyx is considered of better quality than that found in Mexico. It occurs in layers like blanket vein and not in boulders. Some of it is so transparent that one can read paper through it and as it's color is very rich we expect Arizona onyx to become famous.
