NV YoRK, Oct. 20. "A Washing
ton special says that the feeling in
favor OF international bimetallism
seems to be growing and to be likely
TO prevail IN tho European cabinets
il the leading European powers can
be convinced that the United States
does not intend to plunge into free
coinage. Several gentlemen Of high
standing in private life agreed early
In the summer to make some inqui-
ries OF the foreign financiers with a
view to an international agreement
and TO report the results to the Presi-
dent and Secretary Of the Treasury
without expense to the government.
They discovered so friendly feeling
to the use OF silver in Europe that
they recently asked and obtained ere
den.ials from our government show
ing who they are, what their listruc-
tons are without having authority to
commit the United States officially
to any programme. The fact that
these credentials have been asked for
is regarded by the President As q
very encouraging indication Of the
feeling in England, France and Ger
many in regard to the remonetiza-
ton Of silver. The gentlemen who
have been making the inquiries would
not have asked for such credentials If
they had not felt the time approach
ing for serious negotiations with the
European powers, for they have no
personal or financial interests in mag
nifying their Office.

The N, Y. Herald Of recent date
says that Thomas A. Edison, the
electrical wizard, has just completed
two inventions before the wonderful
aud far reaching results Of which all
his other remarkable discoveries are
comparatively insignificant. One Is
the practical application Of cActrici'y
TO great railroad lines, by which =
speed beyond anything achieved BY
steam may be attained, and the other
the application Of electricity to the
propulsion Of street cars, without the
use Of the dangerous, unsightly and
inconvenient overhead construction.
For two years Edison has been en-
gagged on experiments in that direc-
ton. He has met with almost insu-
psrable difficulties, but he has stuck
to his work With that dogged peril
nacity for which he il famous, and At
last has been successful. The gener-
81 principle Of the street car inven.
ton Is that the electric cur,en passes
down through one line OF rails, is
picked up by the car, passes through
the motor beneath il and goes out on
The other side and returns through
the other line OF rails to the central
power station.
Mr.. Edison's other discovery is to
obviate the difficulty met In the at
tachment Of high speed on ordinary
steam railways, which il the inter
ference Of steam. The injection and
exhaust OF the steam into and from
the cylinders is so rapid in its alter
nations that beyond certain limit it
is impossible TO work, and this is an
inherent defect in all steam propul-
sions because OF tho necessity OF ths
conversion Of the reciprocating mo-
'ion INTO rotary action. In the new
electric motor this difficulty vanishss
and the limit Of speed is only that Of
the endurance Of the machinery and
the strength OF the tracks. With the
invention Of Edison . speed OF 100
miles or more m hour will be more
easily attainabls than the ordinary
speed OF fifty to sixty miles an hour
This 10 also in the hands Of tha Edi.
son General Electric company, and
negotiations are now in progress for
the application of the system to one
OF the long lines Of railway.

North Idaho, in the vicinity OF
Moscow, is strange looking country
to eyes that have Toasted on sage
brush plains, fat stock and alfalfa
fields OF Southern Idaho. A person
il disappointed at first, but as his
eyes become familiar with the noble
old hills be ia continually in doubt
whether he likes it or not, and we
suppose admiration aud love tor them
grows with continued residence. Ii
is . remarkable contrast with the
immsnse valley plains OF south ldoho,
for there they have nothing but hills,
hills, hills. There is scarcely enough
level ground for the main business
streets Of the towns, while the resi-
dences ars perched in the air in all
conceivable aud apparently mac
cesslble places. The first thought
which enters the mind OF the southern
man is vague wonder now they irri-
gate those hills, but when he stops to
think that no irrigation is necessary,
he smiles at the thought, but keeps
wondering how they pillow, SOW and
reap. For those bills are not barren,
oh, no! they are covered from base
to peak with grain stubbls, thus show
ing the main industry OF the country.
From thirty to sixty bushels Of wheat
per acre is the average yield, and
strange to say the higher you go up
on the hill The better the yield. 1t is
. wonderful grain country, but that
Is oil. You see very little stock and
no hay or meadow to speak Of. They
have no orchards or trees. 1t seems
rs though they have enough moisture
to mature grain, hut not enough for
anything clse. The towns, while the
general character OF the buildings IL
far ahead of this country, are devoid
OF lawns or trees, except in few m
stances. But It is wonderful coun-
try. Failure Of crops is unknown and
good cash market for wheat puts
money into tho hands OF the farmers.
This builds up the towns. There ID
probably ~ much building going on
~ Moscow to-day as in all the towns
on the Oregon Short Line combined
and they are of tho best and lates,
styles OF architecture, being both
solid and imposing. The people are
snterpnsing, aggressive and conf
dent. They say they have the best
city In Idaho and back up their asser-
tons by putting thousands Of dollars
IN improvements.

Chile Replies

The Chilean Minister OF Foreign
Affairs replies that the government of
the United States formulates de-
mands and advances threats, that,
without being cast back with acrimo-
ny, are not acceptable, nor could
they be accepted in the present case
or in any other of like nature.
He does not doubt the sincerity,
rsctitude or experiences OF the investi-
CATION on board the Baltimore, but
will recognize only the jurisdiction
aud authority of his own country to
Judge and punish the guilty in Chile.
an territory. He says that the ad-
ministrative and judicial authorities
have been investigating the affair;
that a Judicial investigation under
Chilean law is secret, and the time
has not yet arrived to make known
tue results. When that time does
arrive he will communicate the re-
suit, although he does not recognize
any other authority competent to
judge criminal cases than that sstab-
lished by the Chilean people. Until
tho time arrives to disclose tho result
OF the investigation, he cannot admit
that ths disorders in Valparaiso, or
the silence Of the department, should
appear as an expression of unfriend.

The Now York Engineering News
says that prehistoric irrigation canals
in Arizona are "really worthy Of more
notice than is usually givon to them.
The Salt and Gila river valleys are
interseeted by vast network OF
these canals, which antedatc, at least,
tile arrival OF Coronado in 1862, for
he mentions these ruins and ira
ditions Of the Indians regarding a
once dense population in this region.
Modern engineers cannot improve
upon the lines Of these canals, nor in
the section Of points Of diversion from
the rivers. Tho FIRST irrigation canal
n this section, the one that has made
Phoenix with its present population
Of 10000, simply followed the lines
Of one of the old canals. Their ex-
tent may be appreciated when il is
said that 10 the Salt river valley
alone the land covered by these ca
nails once aggregated over 100000
acres, and the canals themselves,
with their laterals, must have ex-
cssded 1000 miles in length. This
country is filed with prehistoric ruins,
with walls Of stone or adobe, and al
most every acre contains fragments
Of pottery, steel ornaments, stone i'm
plemsts and other remains of popu-
lation which can only be estimated

PROFITABLE FARM TALKS.

THE effect of removing tassels from
corn Is to turn the strength of the plant
to the ovaries, and so produce larger
amount of grain.
TAKE care of the standing timber on
the farm, if you have it. When you
have removed the trees that are fit for
timber and the inferior trees that are
only fit for fire wood, clean up the rub
Dish and encourage the growth of seed
lings.
THE farmer takes not only cost but
his living out of his receipts before he
begins to count his profit. The mer-
chant counts as profit the difference be-
tween the buying and selling price, less
the cost of the transaction, and then lives
on the profit.
