Bull and Stallion Fight.

A shorthOrn bull and valuable stallion
got into quarrel at Wellsville. Ohio The
stallion. which was Clydesdale and a
beautiful animal, displayed considerable
pluck, and for few minutes the struggle
was simply terrible. the earth being torn
up for yards by the huge animals. All
efforts to separate the brutes were futile
and the battle continued undated for ten
minutes. when the bull gored his adver-
sary in vital spot. killing him instantly.

COAL IN BURMAH.
Many Square Miles OF Fuel There, But II
Is Not Easily Accessible.

Many Square Miles OF Fuel There. But 1t
Is Not Easily Accessible.
During the past year decentralization
Of the mineral resources of Burmah has
been continued. According to the last
annual administrative report the coal
fields in the Upper Chindwin district
and the country between the Myittha
and Yu Rivers have been examined.
The total area of the coal field in this
part of the country is estimated by the
London Times at It's square miles. II
consists OF two portions, the more yalu-
able one, near the river, measuring
about fifty-five square miles and the
other about 40 square miles. The coal
occurs IN tertiary strata of very regular
bedding; the seams numerous, but the
majority Of them are not thick, few ex-
ceeding three feet and one measuring
ten feet The coal is of excellent
quality, hard and bright, and makes ex-
cellent fuel. The average of eleven an
alyses of Chindwin coal shows q per
centage of fixed carbon of 49, 90. Some
seams. however, show as high a per
centage as $3.50. A syndicate has taken
q lease of six square miles of these fields.
The borings at the Thayetmyo coal
fields have been stopped, and it is IN
nh041 tHSJ Will De taken up again. Inc
Thingadaw coal fields have been leased
to syndicate and boring operations
have been started In the northern
Shan States coal has been found near
Lashio in isolated basins varying in ex-
tent. 1t occurs in tertiary sandstone
surrounded by silurian limestone. The
outcrops are difficult to examine, being
situated in the beds below the water
level nearly the whole year round. In
the Lashio coal field there Is one seam
of at least thirty feet In thickness This
has been specifically traced for more
than two miles The coal Is not of the
first quality. being very hight and liable
to crack when dry. In the Nommra
basin there are numerous coal seams,
ranging from six feet to eight feet in
thickness. In several of them the coal
is of very hard description; but it Is,
comparatively speaking. poor, the per
centage of fixed carbon not exceeding
thirty-nine in any of the eleven samples
tested 1t may now be considered
proved that coal occurs in the Northern
Shan States in workable quantities OF
such quality as TO give fair fuel, but 1t

Shan States are crossed by a railway

smeIters of Monterey.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 29.-Advices re-
eeived by the bureau OF American republics
indicate that the remarkable development
of the business of smelling lead ores in and
around Monterey, Mexico, continues una
bated.
Previous to the treasury decision making
the lead contained in certain descriptions of
Mexican ore dutiable at IL cents per pound,
the expectation of mixed silver and lead ores
from Mexico into the United States amount
ed to over 100000 tons year. The ore for
merly sent into the United States to be
smelted is now treated within Mexican bor-
ders. Smelters already in operation IN
Monterey have daily capacity OF oOO tons
of ore. Other works IN course OF construc-
ton will make the smelling capacity equal
to nearly half a million tons per annum. Ii
is confidently expected that even tins enor-
nous capacity Will be doubled in the next
eighteen months. The shelters will use
nearly 1850 tons of limestone and lOO,OQO
tons of coke per annum.
It is calculated that the labor employed in
this industry involves a distribution of at
least 5000, 900 year in wages to Mexican
workmen, and the wagon and railroad
freight on the ores is estimated to amount
to S5,OOO,0O0 a year. The industry Will
further add to the resources of the country
by opening up to profitable working hun
dreds of low grade mines, the ore from
which could not previously be made to pay,
owing to the absence of a home market and
the enormous cost of transportation.

Rain nv Concnssion.

WAsHNeros, D. c.. June 27.-General
Dyrenforth, special agent of the agricultural
department, having in charge the expert
ments for producing rainfall by conclusions,
said that the time and place of max
ing the test would not be made public.
While the test would be made in Kansas, he
was advised that if the exact locality and
time was made known the experiment would
be impeded by a large crowd. He does not
want to be hampered by a crowd, and furth-
ermore said it would take an enterprislng
newspaper to catch him. Should the bonn
bardment produce rainfall, he said, he would
Immediately proceed to Santa Fe, Haskell
Some time ago the commissioners of that
county extended an invitation to make the
experiment there, claiming that section
would probably be in need of rain about
July. Today large petition from the citi-
zens of that county reached the department
emphasizing the request of the commits
sioners; so if the experiment proves sue
cess the Haskell county section will be IA
vored with a shower. The general showed a
petition from Crawford county asking him
to visit that county, but judging from the
weather report he concluded that rain IS not
needed there, and he desires to expend the
appropriation where it will be of the m ost
benefit. Should the slight appropriation
something IN the theory he says he will give
them ram in Haskell if he is forced to stand
the expense himself. A car will be engaged
and will contain the gas manufacturing and
| electrical apparatus, and will probably &C
cOmmodate his corps of assistants. 1t Will
go by way of Chicago and Kansas City,
thence into western Kansas.

Four hIontbs More Anyway.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 29.-After the
cabinet meeting Secretary Foster made the
following statement in regard to the silver
questions:
After full and careful consideration of
the law relating to the coinage of silver,
Secretary Foster finds that the act of March
8, 1891, requires shat the secretary of the
treasury shall, as soon practicable, coin
trade dollars and bars into silver dollars.
He also finds that $4,000 has been apDro-
praised for the recoinage Of subsidiary silver
coin into such denominations as shall best
serve 20 give it circulation. There is con-
slant demand for small coins, principally
dimes, which the minis have not been able
to supply, and the secretary of the treasury
has decided that his first duty in this matter
is to obey the directions of congress. Con-
gress has ordered the coinage of trade dol
lars and bars into standard silver dollars
The coinage of trade dollars and bars in
this manner will transform what cost So, OF, >
795 into So, 14S. 2s1 standard dollars. The
secretary finds that it will require perhaps
four months to perform the work of coming
them into standard dollars and recoining
the subsidiary silver. Therefore the ques-
ton of the continued coinage of silver dol
lars as heretofore Is not practical one at
present.

Henrv ward Beeoher.

BEcoKIxS, n. Y, June 26.-The monu-
nert to the memory of the late Henry Ward
Beeeher was unveiled with imposing cere-
monies on the seventy-eigth anniversary of
the birth of the noted divine.
In accordance with the proclamation of
the mayor the day was observed as public
holiday.
Large crowds of people have been coming
from New York over the Brooklyn bridge
and by the ferries in the morning to partic-
lpate in the event. The program was under
the auspices of the monument committee
and the Brooklyn park commissioners. The
monument stands in the green plot in front
of the city hall, about fifteen feet from the
coping and midway between two immense
floral urns- 1t is the work of Soul ptor ]. Q.
A. Ward and its cost will be $4,000. OF
this two thirds has been subscribed.
The statue proper, which is of bronze, is
about nine feet in height and rests on a
granite pedestal, which in turn has sub
base having three steps, making the total
height OF the monument about eighteen feet.
Mr.. Beecher is shown standing erect in an
easy position his head turned slightly to-
wards the left. He is represented wearing
the cape overcoat which BroOklynites and
others so we'll remember. In his left hand
he holds the familiar Kossuth hat.
Leaning against the right side of the pc
destal IS the figure of a negress in an atti-
tude OF sorrow, the impression to be con-
veyed being the grief of the colored race
over the loss of such an earnest worker in
the cause of abolition. At the left of the
pedestal are the figures of a boy and girl,
the former lifting the girl upward in his
arms while she places a string of flowers at
the feet of the statue.
Mr.. Beecher's attitude is one of fearless
ness, but at the same time the bearing Is
suggestive of his genial character.

tIOn OF Wind and Water,

WATERLOO, Ia, June 26.-Reports were
received by the Illinois Central officials in
this city of terrible wind and rain storm
which prevailed along that cOmpany's lines
from Stoney Lake to LIE Mars, distance of
hfty-six miles.
All the towns are considerably damaged.
-Four persons were dEoEned at Cherokee
and four at Correctionville.
The railroad depot at Calumet was blown
down, and much damage to town property
is reported.
Sutherland. O'Brien county, a small sta
ton on the Chicago d Northwestern railroad,
hfty-five miles from Calumet, is reported to
have been wiped out, over forty buildings
being blown down.
The wires are all down and it is impossl-
sibie to obtain accurate information except
through the reports transmitted to the rail-
road officials
The day had been the hottest of the seas
on. 80 IN the shade. although the sky was
obscured by clouds most of the time. The
excessive temperature was due to hot winds.
1t Is thought the hot winds will not do much
damage to crops owing to the moist condi-
ton of the ground from recent rains. Corn,
by actual measures, grew over three inches
during the day before the storm.

LONDON, June 29.-Gungunhama's ENJOYS
are the lions of the town, society turning to
the savages and their queer ways as relief
to the strain of certain events. Hulukulu is
especially funny. When shown hippopo-
tarnus the other day at the geological gar
den he wanted to kill the animal, which is
much detested in Gungunhama's country.
Hulukulu is much impressed by the beauti-
full women who have been among his aristo-
cratic visitors, though he remarked to the
interpreter that they ought TO drink milk.
it being the Gus tom in his country to fat

Wales will have a personal interview with
the ENJOYS after they have been introduced
to the queen.
Although the ENJOYS are above suspicion
of cannibalism, they nearly frightened red

earnest way in which they regarded him and
some clumsy attempts at familiarity. Apart

The ~AIauvaises Terres," as the old
French fur-traders called them, are in
Dakota, Wyoming and Northwestern
Nebraska, between the north fork of
Platte and the south fork of the Chey-
enne River, and cover an area of about
90, 900 square miles. They are de-
scribed as one of the most wonderful
regions in the world. Biologists hold
that during the miOcene period a vast
fresh-Water lake covered this portion
of the American continent. As these
lakes drained off, after the subsistence
of the plains further east, the original
lake-beds were worn into canyons that
twined IN every conceivable direction.
Here and there abrupt and almost per
pendieular portions of the ancient beds
remain in all imaginable forms, some
resembling the ruins of abandoned
cities. Towers, spires, cathedrals,
obelisks, pyramids and monuments of
various shapes appear on every side.
DR.. Hayden, the earliest explorer of
this region, says:
Not infrequently the rising or setting
sun viii light up these grand old ruins
reminding one of a city illuminated in
the night as seen from high points.
The harder layers project from the
sides of the canyons with such regular
ity that they appear like seats of some
vast, weird amphitheater.D
These lands are entirely unsuited for
agriculture, and with rare exceptions
are of little value for grazing. They
are. however, one OF the richest treas
uries of fossil remains to be found any
where. The soft clay deposits are in
some places literary filed with the
bones of extinct species of the horse,
rhinoceros, elephant, hog, camel, a
deer that strongly resembles a hog,
saber-tOothed lions and other marvel
GUS creatures.

Knirhts of labor Convsns.

COLUMBUS, o., June 27.-In the large club
room of the Neil house were gathered the
members of the executive board of the
Knights of Labor. With them were the
master workmen and secretaries of the prin-
cipal locals" not only of this city, but from
different parts of the state. The proceedings
are being conducted with closed DOORS
Right Worthy Foreman kaYanaugh and
others of the participants, insisted that the
purpose, of the meeting was simply to take
measures for increasing the strength of the
order in the Buckeye state but it is pretty
generally understood that tho real object Is
to decide what action. if any, the order
should take in the present political cam paign
in Ohio in view of the refusal of Secretary
Foster to reinstate the Knights of Labor who
some months ago were dismissed from the
bureau of engraving and printing.

GOOD SIGNS.
Soundness of the Commercial
Situation.
Gold Still Going to neutrality-suspicious.
Markets Have DecliRed-GeneraI
Level OF Prices Down Per Cent
Exports Exceed Imports.

NEW YoRK, June 2s.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says:
Signs Of improvement in business grow
more frequent and distinct, though there is
nothing like radical change yet.
The hesitation which has prevailed during
the year gives way but slowly to increased
confidence. the more slowly because of few
failures in woolens at Philadelphia and in
leather and shoes in the east. Yet the
soundness of the commercial situation is
generally recognized and the hesitation
is rightly attributed mainly to uncertainties
regarding the demand for gold from Europe
and the financial situation there. Hence,
dispatches announcing the settlement of the
difficulties in the London market are re-
garded with satisfaction. While gold con-
tinues to leave England for Russia, the
banking institutions of western Europe are
well supplied.
In this country the treasury disbursements
have been enormous. One point OF danger
is the still exceedingly strained condition OF
credits.
Reports from other cities are, on the
whole more encouraging than q week ago.
| Trade is fairly good in the east, very good
in the northwest, but tritie duh, though
/ healthy in the west. The dullness in the
west is caused by heavy rains. Southern re-
ports are less encouraging.
|
almost every direction, but without panic or
excitement. Transactions have been rela-
/ lively larger in cotton than in any other
week, with a fall of only sixteenth to 99s
| cents for spot.
Wheat declined IL cents, the fall being
resisted by the damage by storms and by the
large export demand.
Corn declined 114c; oats, 41@c; pork, SOC;
| lard and hogs, a fraction each; raw sugar is
| &c lower and wool sold at concessions. The
| general level of prices has declined more
than per cent during the past week.
| Iron shows some improvement; tin
| yielded a shade; lake copper is bought only
| as necessities require; lead is unchanged
/ and dull; the coal market is quiet. Yield
| ing prices for wool encouraged larger con-
sumption, and though sales at small prices
| are fairly well held, the manufacture Is dis
tinctly encouraged by larger sales than
usually seen at this season of some products,
| though in other directions the demand is
/ still scanty.
Gold experts continue, not only because
| there is q large excess of merchandise i'm

No Extrndttion of Embezziers.

WASHINGTON. D. c., June 29.-The de-
partment of state has been informed that
the German government has declined to sur
render True w. Hert, the defaulting en-
ploye of the Welsbach Incandescent Light
company, of Philadelphia. There is no ex-
tradition treaty with Germany covering
Hert's offense, and. while the German gov
eminent was willing to surrender him with
out a specific treaty stipulation, it was only
upon condition that this government would
recognize demand by the German govern
ment for the surrender of escaped criminals
whose crimes we're not covered by existing
treaty. Of course this condition could not
be accepted, but in the meantime this govs
eminent has been in communication with
the government of Great Britain and it is
hopeful OF securing Hert in the end. He
was within British jurisdiction-at SOuthamp-
ton-where extradition proceedings were be-
gun and the German steamship officers in
reference prevented his arrest there. The
fact transfers part of the responsibility for
Hert's escape to the British government and
IT is probable that they will cause the Ger
man government to return the man to Eng
land, where his case will come within the
extradition now in force between Great
Britain and the United States.
