FACTS ABOUT ALUMINIUM.

Aluminium as a metal can never take the
place of iron and steel in machinery or
structural work which requires rigidity
and strength.
The pure aluminium metal can be sol
dered, but not as readily a. most metals,
and is not capable of as high polish as
gold, silver or brass.
Aluminum's tensile strength per square
inch is but 5000 pounds, while that Of
steel is 5000, or three times as great. It's
tensile strength is only about that Of cast
iron.
One Of aluminum's most valuable quail
ities is that it does not oxidize or rust, and
this quality will render it valuable for a
great variety Of purposes where great
strength is not required.
An alloy Of 20 per cent copper, = per
cent nickel and 7 per cent. aluminium has
fine yellow color and takes high polish.
These alloys viii undoubtedly be largely
used in the arts n the future.
A cubic foot of aluminium weighs l6s
pounds, while cubic foot of steel weighs
400 pounds. Il has but little rigidity. but
great ductility, and hence can be rolled into
sheets, drawn into very iEe wire and beat

but il has not.

RAILWAY QUESTIONS.

AUSTIN, Tex. July 1O.-The complete
text of the series of questions put to the
railways of the state by the state COM
missioners is as follows:
l. What is the average rate per ton per
mile by steamer and sailing vessel for
ocean transportation?
! 2. What IS the average rate per ton per
mile for railroad transportation in the
! United States?
| 3. What is the ocean rate of transporta
/ tion per ton by steamer and sailing yes
sells from New York TO the coast cities of
| Texas?
4 What is the local rate per ton from
the coast cities of Texas to common points
! in Texas?
s. What is the rate per ton by rail from
New York City to common points in
| Texas?
g. What are the rates per ton by rail
between the coast cities of Texas to com
mon points in the Indian territory, Kan
sas and Nebraska?
Z. What are the rates per ton per mile
between the following ng-named points and
common points in Texas, to-wit: kansas
City, St Louis and Chicago?
s. Can merchandise be carried as
cheaply from the coast cities of Texas to
the northern boundary of Texas as from
Kansas City, ST. Louis or Chicago?
9. A radius of 1000 miles from New
York as center and a radius of 1000
miles from Galveston as a center are found
in the southeastern part of Minnesota. In
view of this what can the Texas railroads
do toward giving an outlet to ocean
transportation for the territory nearer the
Texas coast than to the eastern cities OF
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and
Boston?
10. The people of the western states and
territories ana their commercial and polit-
ical representatives are giving all the aid
they can 20 secure deep-water harbors on
the coast of Texas and an outlet to the
sea by way of the coast of Texas, so as to
be relieved from the cost of longer railroad
haul to the eastern cities. What can the
Texas railroads do to aid them, and what
will they do?
H. II the rates on the shorter lines
should control the rates on the longer COM
peting lines why do not the rates from
points within radius from the coast of
Texas control the rates on the longer haul
to eastern cities?
l2 What is the difference between the
rate received by Texas roads on through
lines and that received by Texas roads on
freight originating in and destined to
points in Texas2
When the roads representatives had
been furnished with copy of the above
some one sprung the question: When
should these answers be made" After
some discussion the time was fixed at
seven days, and all officials present agreed
to have their answers sent In at the ex-
piration of the week

WASHINGTON, July 10.-During the last
congress resolution was passed Instruct
ing the president TO negotiate with Mexico
and Great Britain to prevent the entry of
Chinese laborers from Canada and Mexico
into the United States. From the diplo-
matte correspondence just published it
appears that while Great Britain received
the proposition favorably, and referred il
to the Canadian government. the Mexican
government was unable to cooperate. for
the reason that an article in the Mexican
constitution guarantees every man a right
to enter and go out Of the republic with
out passports.

FAILURES,

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 10.-The Falls
City National bank went to the wall this
morning. The bank made an assignment
TO the Mechanics Trust company and
closed its doors. The liabilities are S431,
30O The assets are 81 ,223, 900 (nominally).
From the beginning of the financial panic
last year the bank has been on the ragged
edge, and has been carried along by the
clearing house. Depositors will be paid in
full and stockholders will receive about %
cents on the dollar
NEVADA. No, July 10.-The Citizens
bank, of Nevada, closed its doors this
morning. The failure caused great con-
sternation among depositors and business
men. The bank claimed capital stock Of
100000. a notice was posted on the front
door of the bank, stating that the stock
holders Of the bank hoped to pay all
claims against the bank at an early date.
The bank claims a surplus of $4,000 and a
fine building The failure is attributed TO
the stringency of the money market and
slow collections All the county funds are
locked up in the bank. The amount of
the liabilities cannot be ascertained.
The failure of the Citizens bank forced
to the wall its three branches in this
county. They were located at Bronough,
Walker and Sheldon. The institution, it's
branches included, was capitalized for
500, 00O' but of that amount only SOS, 400
was paid in. 1t is impossible at present to
obtain an estimate of the assets and liabil-
tiles of the concern.

ALLIANCE COOPERATION

TOPEKA, Kan, July 10.-A convention
of the representatives of the several busi-
ness organizations connected with the
Farmers Alliance has been called to meet
in this city Aug. 90. The call is signed by
Senator Peffer, DR.. McLallin, editor of the
Advocate; w. T. Wrightmyer, secretary
of the National Citizens Alliance; j. B..
French, secretary of the State Farmers
Alliance; Fred 2. Bailey, treasurer of the
The call includes the Alliance exchange,
the mercantile branches of the order, the
cooperative fire and life insurance COM
pany, the Mutual Protective association
and number of minor organizations.
The OBJ ject of the convention is to secure
cooperation between the several organiZa-
tions and instead of employing agents and
lecturers for each to make one the recog
niZed representative of all.
The convention will also take steps to
broaden the cooperative feature to the AL
lance and will endeavor to extend it to all
mercantile branches. The Mutual Bene
fit association is an organization, the
avowed purpose OF which is to fight mort
gage foreclosure suits and secure to debt
ors all delay which the technicalities of
the courts will permit. Where a mort
gagor who is a member of the association
is in imminent danger of foreclosure the
association defends him in the district
court In case of defeat it is carried to the
supreme court, thus securing a delay of
fully two years, the court being that far
behind in its work.
The object of this is to give the debtor
more time and enable him TO accumulate
enough to hquidate his Indebtedness in
case the supreme court decides against
him, as 1t is expected that it will.

THE MOL AND TRIAL

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, July 10.-The
Noland trial is attracting very little local
attention. Noland's wife and children
were present yesterday and are in atteu-
dance again today holland is in the best
of spirits and seems confident The ex-
animation of witnesses wRs completed
this -morning. The state summoned a
large number who were not called to
testify. The state made no attempt to
prove that the defendant had lost money
IN poker playing, nor was an attempt
made to prove fraudulent intent The
whole of the evidence was to the effect
that NOland's books were NOS kept right
and that there was a shortage. The counsel
for the defendant laid stress on the fact
that the money had all been paid back.
He raised point this morning that when
the legislature met and it WAS necessary
for NOland TO make settlement. there
was no shortage The point was overruled.
\ number of bankers of different cities of
the state were called to prove the correct
ness of their accounts with holland.
The jury in the holland case sent word
to the judge at 1890 that he need expect
no verdict tonight. The court thereupon
adjourned until o'clock tomorrow. It is
expected that a verdict Of guilty will be
returned. 1t is known that nine OF the
jury favor conviction.

PETER ON INGALLS,.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 10.-A morning
paper publishes an interview with Sena-
tor Peffer, in which the new senator is
quoted as follows:
Ex-senator Ingalls, is one of the best
friends have. don't think Mr.. Ingalls,
will ever get out of American politics, but
at the same time | don't think he will
continue politician. Mr.. ingalls, is now
on the right track. | don't know any one
who can do Kansas and the people as
much good as he."
Senator PETER intimated that ex-Sena-
tor Ingalls,, while not in the letter, was in
the sense a third party man. The senator
delivered quite an eulogy on his van
quished rival. THE farmers have no
strong mind to write for them," said he
"Mr. Ingalls, will supply a great need in
this respect. l don't think he viii follow
along the old party lines, but he will con-
tinue working for the people. He IS
mixed up in the general revolution in
American political matters along with all
the rest of us, aud he will do lions
share of the work of reform. Kansas can
not afford to lose Mr.. Ingalls,. l would
sooner have seen him reelected than to
have been given the senatorship myself
Personally Mr.. Ingalls, is a warm, true
hearted man. quick to perceive and ready
to act: good friend -

MIMIC WAR.

Boston, July ia naval battalion
from the ships of the White Squadron
today attacked and captured Deer Island
The island was defended by seven boat
loads of marines and naval troops, and
after fierce battle of half an hour the
island was taken and its defenders carried
back aboard the ships as prisoners. The
garrison had two field pieces. The attack
ing party consisted of twenty-eight boat
loads. Shortly after noon the signal for
the attack was hoisted to the mainmast OF
the Newark.
Immediately clouds OF smoke belched
forth from the secondary battery guns OF
all the war ships, and under cover of this
bombardment the line of battle closed IN
upon the island. The guns upon the war
ships kept up a rapid firing, with the view
of disconcerting the men on shore. The
battle was short, but most exciting. The
defending troops, though they made gal
liant fight, were soon overpowered, and the
invaders brought them back to the ships

After the bank closed he gave up the
