Of ore could be depended on FOR keeping
a stamp mill at work. He was very well
pleased, and as soon as the roads are in
condition will bring in a mill.

Mr.. W, X. Lee OF Rock Springs lett

prised at the fine prospects of our camp.
He took out with him about 200 pounds
OF quartz from the different mines and il
the rock is satisfactory his company will
invest and at once commence operations.
Mr.. Lee got the prices of several OF the
best claims with the intention of buying if
the assays were favorable. The Rock
Springs Mining and Investment companv

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Secretary
Blaine s%..letter TO the Marquis Imperiali is
very strongly commended by men of all
sha6es of politics here and the opinion is
widely expressed that 1t will bring the
Italian government to a calmer considera-
ton of the matter. There is considerable
public indignation expressed at the at
titude taken in the matter by the Italian
Americans who rave long been citizens OF
the United States and are now taking
sides with the Ita!IaD government aud de
handing satisfaction. There is a feeling
that if these men are American citizens
aud rave tai en- the oqth of allegiance to
the United States, they are no longer sub,
jects of Italy whose duty it rs to take up
arms in her defense.
Ex Represent tive Farquhar of New
York, speaking OF the correspondence
published this morning, said he believed
Blaine's letter would appeal to the good
sense of every foreign nation. He said:
Italy does not want war, she wants to
bluff us out. Secretary Tracy should now
send a letter-a circular letter-tO on
tractors who are engaged in constructing
naval vessels, ordering them to hurry up
the work, completing vessels as quickly as
possible, at the governments risk for
damages and extra expense. This mere
indication that we were ready to prepare
for anything Italy might be disposed to
do; that we did not intend to yield when
we we're in the right, would put an end to
ltaly's demonstration"
The apparent inability OF the United
States to actually extend to foreigners the
protection which is guaranteed in treaties
IN case outrage Is committed for which a
state is responsible. has led to considerable
talk in diplomatic circles. 1t was sug-
gested that congress might have to
change the method of negotiating treaties,
but when this view was presented to ex-
Representative Grosvenor he very
promptly replied that no change was
necessary The United States" he
said, car always be trusted to do what is
honest and right We need not go to the
extent of revising all our methods for the
sake of pleasing countries which annually
send large numbers OF their people to
our shores" Gen. GrOsyenor added
that if the government had any right to
interfere in a matter like the Italian
tragedy, then it had an equal right to
interfere in every case where the murder
of n negro for political reasons occurs IN
the South during a federal election.
THE Italian government, said he, must
surely realize that II the national govern
ment cannot protect the lives OF its own
citizens or interfere TO punish their
%murderers, it can not do so for
foreigners"

The social Importance of the inn in
days of old is proved by the conspicuous
position it holds in our fiction and poetry.
The Canterbury Tales" of Chaucer
start from an inn, along with the motley
company of pilgrims bound for st.
Thomas shrine, to whom the genius Of
the poet has given an immortal life. Its
site and name, the Talbot" or TIA
bard" still preserve the memory of the
famous inn thus associated with our first
great English poem. 1t was not, how
ever, until the reign of Elizabeth that
the tavern attained to a permanent place
in literature, rejecting the important
place it held in the daily life Of the
people.-An the Year Round.

When one considers the size of a tor

OF parzpheruslis which Il Is required to

THAI Is found on = ship of 5000 tons,
though in reduced form.
One Of the greatest difficulties in tor
pedo boats Il found il adjusting the
compass TO the powerful and varying
currents of electricity from the electric
plant which surrounds IL. Regardless OF
whAt the vessel IS doing, the needle
must point to the pole With untring con-

means Of dischArging water. Bv their
combined power, the pumps and iniec-
tors will discharge fifteen tons, or about
1000 gallons minute, so that the Cush-
ing could free herself of an amount of
water equal To her own displacement In
about seven minutes.
Some idea OF the amounr OF narhiuery

fact the fifty eight feet Of the body of
the boat are taken up by the boilers,
engines and e"al bunkers. ard that
twenry-nine steam CYLINDERS are re-
quired- Her boilers are constructed
under the patent of ThornicrUft Of Lon

whole, very comfortable quarters. Each
