IHE department of state at Washing
ton has received a carefully prepared es-
innate made by the National Millers'
Association, of France, giving the pros
pective wheat crops of Europe for 1891
According to these figures France will
have wheat deficit of 10, 221 900 hec-
tohtres; which will require the expendi-
ture of $4,000, 900 francs for importa-
ton. The estimated amount of foreign
wheat to be furnished Europe is 1l4.-
100000 hectolitres. The milIers are
'endeavoring to create the impression
that the supply is good in order to buy
eheapiy. Commercial Agent Griffin
adds in his report that all hope of relief
from South America has been abandon
ed and even the Argentine Republic is
not mentioned as supplying the wheat
deficiency. All Europe is looking to-
ward the wheat fields of the United
States and building hopes upon our har-
vest. as their bread must come from
America.

A Young Widows Enterprise.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 14.-Mrs. Lucy
Pratt, young widow, yesterday sold
forty-five square inches of her cuticle for
800. A strip of skin, nine by five
inches, was cut from her body by sur
geons and.grafted on. to the leg of William
A. Daggett, a railway mail clerk, who
was injured in the railroad accident at
Port Costa. His right leg was terribly
burned and the wound would not heal,
and as last resort skin-grafting was re-
sorted to. w. G. McGregor, fellow
clerk of the sufferer, volunteered to
make the sacrifice, but when he learned
the amount of skin needed he backed
out. Mrs. Pratt is one of the trained
nurses at the hospital for children. The
operation was successfully performed.

a STATEMENT prepared at the General
Land Office shows that during the last
three months of the fiscal year just
closed there were issued 81, 29S agricul-
tural patents and 77S mineral patents.
The number of mineral patents issued
during the entire year was 2,O2S. The
Agricultural patents issued during the
last quarter of each of the last three
years are given as follows: In 1886, g.
ass, in 1887, 5000; in 1883, %, 700.
The issue during the last three months,
was, therefore, nearly equal to the
number issued during the nine quarters
as stated above

The Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.) fav-
ors the importation of negroes from the
South to take the place of the Poles and
Hungarians in Pennsylvania. ''Such
change would serve several good pur-
poses, it adds. "It would be relief
to the congested black districts of the
Southern States. 1t would be giving the
work to race already in the country,
instead of bringing undesirable races
across the ocean" Well, let the Inq,ar-
@ convince the protected operators in
coal, iron and steel that negro labor is
cheaper than the foreign acticle, and it
will be in fair way to bring about the
change.

The Ohio Democratic convention
says the Pittsburg Post will probably get
through its business to-day "wednesday
without much of a jar on candidates or
platform. The loud talking and strong
claims of the ti-Campbell men is to
prevent the entire disintegration of their
forces. If Campbell has 500 delegates
in his favor, and there are 700 in the
convention, the problem is one of easy
adjustment. The idea of Campbell
Withdrawing in the interest of harmony
is absurd 1t would create discord and
bitterness instead of harmony. The
crowd from Cincinnati opposing him is
a dead weight in the party. There will
probably be nice work requisite TO reach
an agreement on the silver coinage sec
ton of the platform. The free coinage
party is out in strong force headed by
Congressman A. j. Warner of Mari
eta, while Congressman Harter of
Mansfield urges a more conservative
course-that the party may not be en-
barrassed next year by premature or
radical declarations this year. The
challenge of the Republican party in the
nomination of Mckinley, that the bat
tie shall be fought on the tariff issue,
will be accepted with hurrah. In a
few weeks nothing else will be heard in
Ohio. 1t will submerge all other ques-
tions, political, personal and factional.

Soper Resigns.

. Tie resignation Of Daniel Z. Soper,
secretary OF state, which was announce
ed from Lansing Thursday morning,
fell like tliunderbolt upon the Mich
igan democracy, although it was well
known that ho was emincn.ly unfit for
the position lie occupied.
Specific charges were fled with the
governor against Soper, Wednesday
evening, accusing him of misfeasance
in Office, such as buving an unnecessary
and enormous quantity of paper ut high
rates, sending out great quantities of
Michigan manuals, annotated statutes
and other publications without securing
pay to the state, and lastly, for threat
ening his deputy with dismissal il he
refuse to give him $500 of his annual
salary.
Upon receiving these charges Gov.
Winans summoned the thrifty secretary
to the executive Office where the charges
were read to him, and upon ocdnowl-
edging his guilt. his resignation was
promptly demanded. 1t is said that
the state is out about 81, 700 on Soper's 6
peculations.

A Halr-Rreed Decision.

Assistant Attorney-General Shields
OF the Interior department has decided
that Jane Waldron, who is the daughter
OF whi father and half-blood Indian
mother, WAS born citizen of the
United States and that her claim that
she is an Indian by virtue of being born
OF an Indian mother, cannot be allowed.
Neither can she longer he permitted to
draw rations and nnnuities, as such,
from the government nor can she re-
receive lands in severalty. It is said at
the Indian bureau that this case practi-
cally decides from 500 to l 900 similar
cases in all parts OF the west. In many
cases, however, the right of half-blood
to be regarded under the law as an In
dian is acknowledged in a number OF
treaties.

The keweenaw Copper
Deposits

Deposits.
A peninsula called Keweenaw Point.
jutting into Lake Superior from the
southern shore toward the northeast, is
famous as the center OF vast copper
mining industry. Last year the mines
produced no less that 105, ,586. 900 pounds
of refined copper, and it is estimated
that during next year production will
be increased by at least 20 per cent.
Mr.. +. b. Hinsdale, who contributes to
the latest bulletin of the American
Geographical Society an article on the
subject, has much that is interesting to
say about the numerous prehistoric
mines which have been found in this
region. These ancient mines, judging
from their extent, must have been work
ed for centuries. Who the workers
were, no one can tell. They seem to
have known nothing of the smelling of
copper, for there are no traces of
molten copper. What they sought
were piaeesthat could be fashioned by
cold hamnering into useful articles aud
ornaments. they understood the use
of fire in softening the rocks to enable
them to break away the rock from the
masses Of copper. They could not
drill, but used the stone hammer freely.
More than ten cart loads of stone ham
mers we're found in the neighborhood
of the Minnesota mine. In one place
the excavation was about 80 feet deep,
and at the bottom were found timbers
forming scaffolding, and large sheet
of copper was discovered there. In
another place, in one Of the old pits,
was found mass of copper weighing AZ
tons. At another point the excavation
was 26 feet deep.
In another opening, at the depth Of
Is feet, mass Of copper weighing over
6 tons was found. raised about 5 feet
from its native led by the ancients, and
secured by oak props. Every project
ing point had been taken of, so that
the exposed surface was smooth. Who
ever the workers may have been many
centuries must have passed since their
mines were abandoned. Their trenches
and openings have been filed up, or
nearly SO. Monstrous trees have grown
over their work and fallen to decay,
other generations of trees springing up.
When the mines were rediscovered.
decayed trunks Of large trees were lying
over the works, while heavy growth
of live timber stood on the ground

The Immlaratlon Problem.

i
Secretary Foster deals vigoro usly
with the immigration evil in his annual
report. Analysis he says, "of the
staten ent of arrivals during the last
fiscal year shows that an increase pro-
portion OF immigrants is coming to us
from those classes and those countries
of Europe whose people are least adapt
ed to, and least prepared for, citizen
ship in free republic, and are least
inclined assimilate with the general
body of American citizens"
Secretary Foster thinks the laws al
ready enacted have accomplished some
thing, but he admits certain obvious
and fatal weaknesses" which have pract-
ically broken down the legal restrict
IONS of immigration. These are: ~
in the worst and most important classes
of cases, namely. criminals. ex-convicts,
polygamists and illegally assisted
immigrants, the law supplies almost
no means of ascertaining the facts. (2)
An increasing number of aliens is now
landing at Canadian ports and ent er-
ing the United States by rail, owing
to the increasing efficiency of inspection
nt our seaports. Secretary Foster is Of
opinion that the regulation of immi-
grafton should begin at the place of de-
parture.
The Secretary says: Plainly the pro.
cess OF sitting immigrants
should at least begin abroad, to
be completed and not commenced, at
the United States port of arrival. Some
system of investigation or certiAcation,
consular or otherwise, in the country
where the intending emigrant resides,
is belived to be entirely practicable,
and such system, supplemented by
continued vigilance at our ports OF
entry, ought to prove effective to the
desired end. Considerations OF human
ity as well rs of efficiency require that
aliens of the prohibited classes shall
not be permitted to come across the
ocean to our ports only to be sent back
penniless and stranded.
With regard to the entrance of immi.
grants surreptitiously by way Of Cali
ada Secretary Foster suggests an
international arrangement for uni
form system Of seaport inspection, or q
more effective inspection along the
Canadian border. Other absuses,
particularly the systematic deportation
of criminals and insane to the United
States, will be treated in o future com.
munication to congress.
1t is no longer possible to shirk OF
neglect the serious problem OF immigra-
ton. Secretary Foster has recon.
mended the only feasible method Of
regulating immigration, that is, by
investigation and certiHcation at the
place of departure. The emigrant and
not the immigrant, should be prevented
from coming to this country. With
congress rests the duty Of giving force
and effect to Secretary Fosters sensi'
ble recommendation.
