The entire production of copper
in the United States during the cen
sus year of 1889, as given by Mr..
Charles Kirchof, special agent, was
226 O55, 1852 pounds. To this great
quantity the South contributed but
1914 pounds. Had all the refrac-
tory ores in sight carrying copper
and gold been reduced this small
production would have been many
times multiplied.

The model for the statue of Queen
Isabel, on which Miss Harriet Hos
mer has been at work in her studio
at Rome, is almost completed. The
Queen is represented in full royal
robes, stepping down from her
throne, with her jewels in her out
stretched hand. The figure is full
of grace and strength, and the robes
have been most skillfully draped by
the artist, giving a pleasing outline
from every point of view.

Now that the Massachusetts
prohibitionists have nominated a
negro on their State ticket, it re-
mains to be seen if he is strong
enough with his race to draw them
from the Republican party and cause
them to vote for him. If he can, the
g. o. p. may as well prepare itself
for a defert, and the continuance of
Democratic rule in that State for
some time to come.

In Washington county, Illinois,
the people are in high state of ex,
citement over a bitter fight between
the church and the saloon men.
The church folks determined to
stop Sunday beer picnics and closed
all the saloons. Sunday night about
fifty masked white caps visited the
residence of Dir. A. Morgan, pillar
of the church and called him out.
He went. but carried his Winchester
with him and commenced pumping
lead into the crowd, when they fed
precipitately. Jno. Teabeau was
met by two of the white caps and
badly beaten, and now the fight is
very bitter and more tragedies are
expected.

TIE FIGHT on TEE TERMINAL.
IL is Claimed to be on Account or Us
Western Freight Facilities

IL is Claimed to be on Account OF It's
Western Freight Facilities
/ The recent attacks in New York upon
/ the Richmond Terminal system are inspired,
/ it is claimed. by the officials Of the system,
/ by the great western trunk lines who are
! eudeavoring to cripple and break down the
| Terminal system to prevent its putting
/ into effect It's plan of carrying the western
/ business Of the Gould lines BY the Georgia
/ Pacific railroad, the Ocean Steamship Com
pany and the Central Railroad Of Georgia.
1t is asserted that the trunk lines are already
beginning 70 feel the competition with the
Richmond Terminal, which Is now carrying
an immense amount Of western frelghts.
Il was stated by one Of the officials that
fifty carloads of freight were shipped from
New York during July by the Ocean
Steamship Company and delivered via the
Georgia Central and the Georgia Pacific 20
the Miss 1uri Pacific at its eastern terminus.
The Richmond Terminal claims 1t can
ship freight from New York 10 Kansas City
and all points west and south Of that by its
steamship and southern route as cheap as
any Of the western freight lines out Of New
York can afford TO d. 1t. This, it claims,
is why the attack is being made upon 1t.
A MORNING News reporter who visited
the offices of the Ocean Steamship Company
yesterday TO verify the statement that
western freights are now beng sent by this
line, found it TO be true. Fourteen car
loads Of western freight were received
Monday from New York by the steamships
City Of Savannah and the City Of Birming-
ham. The shipments west from New York
by this line in July far exceeded fifty car
loads, though exact figures could
not be obtained The western shipments
are increasing rapidly, partly owing to the
approaching busy season as we'll as TO the
extra exertions Of the Gould -Inman combi-
nation. The traffic arrangement by the
Ocean Steamship Company and the Central
railroad with the western lines have been
in effect for two or three years, and tbg
business has been steadily increasing since
the arrangement was made. Shipments are
made as far est as Utah. The principal
points to which shipments are made, how
City. Omaha. 81. Joseph, and
Springfield, ri. The shipments cover
almost the whole of the western aud south
western territory nearly to the Pacific
coast. Missouri, Kansas. Nebraska, Arkan-
sas and the Indian territory are the largest
recipients OF freights west by this CON-
bination OF railroad and steamship
lines.
Boots and shoes and manufactured goods
are the principal articles Of shipments. The
eastern manufactures are now being
shipped west TO supply tine fall trade. A
large amount Of heavy machinery also goes
west via the Ocean steamship line.
As it Is undoubtedly true that the Ocean
Steamship Company and its southern rail-
road connections are drawing heavily from
the traffic of the western trunk lines. there
may be some foundation for the statement
that the fight which is being waged against
the Richn ond Terminal is backed up by the
western trunk lines
