Acres of Soda.

Perhaps the greatest natural curios-
ity as source OF wealth is the famed
Soda Lakes, located about fifteen miles
southwest OF Laramie City. These two
lakes, each covering about seventy five
acres, are separated from each other by
a ridge about eighty rods wide. The
waters OF these lakes are charged with
soda, which is held in suspension
During the summer months, when the
weather is hot, marvellous crust OF
crystallized soda appears on the surface,
caused by evaporation. This crust IS
sometimes three or four feet thick, and
can be taken out in huge blocks. When
broken up and exposed to the air. u
Stacks and turns white. The U. P. r
r. Co. have built track across each OF
these lakes, and the soda can be loaded
into the cars like so much ice. When
one crust is removed another soon forms,
and thus the supply is practically mex
haustible. Soda is-used largely In the
manufacture of glass, as we'll as in most
OF our culinary operations, and when
we begin to estimate the value OF this
natural soda ''plant," we become lost in
the vastness OF the calculation.-North-
western Financier.

All Foreigners Treated Alike.

ST. PETERSBURG, June l6.-The
Jewish persecution in extending to all
foreigners in Russia, especially Ger
mans, Poles and Tartars. For months
the press, headed by the Novoe Vremya
have been warning against the Tartars,
accusing them OF being secret enemies
of Russia and the orthodox church, and
OF spreading sedition in the guise OF ex-
planning the Koran.
This movement, however, is only in
its infancy. Prince Kroptokin, gov
ernor general OF Trans-Caspin, signed a
secret order expelling nearly all the
Polish engineers and employees engaged
in building and working the Central
Asian railway, who did all the best
work and filled 60 or 80 per cent OF the
responsible positions. The same order
gradually expels all foreigners engaged
in the service except Frenchmen.
Among the Jews expelled from Mos
COW are many old soldiers, some deco
rated with the st. George cross, the
highest possible reward for valor on
the field. One hundred such artisans,
who had served their time, petitioned
the car against such contumelious
treatment OF men who had risked their
lives and were ready to risk them
AGAIN in the service OF the country. 1t
is doubtful whether this petition will
ever reach the car.
The largest Christian employers in
Moscow have publicly announced that
they will employ no more Jews. ,
The imperial ukase empowers Grand
Duke Sergius to relegate the whole OF
his administrative power to the head OF
the police. If adopted, this change will
mean more rigorous measures than ever.
The government intends to limit the
number Of Jewish physicians, bankers,
lawyers and journalists in every town
in Russia.
A London dispatch says that Arnold
White, Baron Hirsch's agent, has wired
the Rothschilds from Kieff that the re-
ports of the wholesale emigration OF
Russian Jews to England are un-
founded,

The Ro.tnn nropped out.

NEW YORK, June 16.-According to
q cable received in this city the steam
ship, California, has started from
Gibraltar with only 1853 Storage
passengers. The California belongs to
the Anchor line, which line OF vessels
from Mediterranean ports carry mostly
Italians. The general average OF
steerage passengers is from 800 to !, 900.
The agent OF the line thinks that the
bottom has fallen out Of the italian
immigrant business. Colonel Weber,
superintendent of immigration, says
that this is due to the vigorous policy
pursued for the past few months in
barring and sending back all undesira-
BILE immigrants.

apply it when it landed. The submission OF all
France to the Revolutionary Tribunal Is, OF
course, explained by the ferocious rage OF It's
methods, but it is not TO be inferred that because
France submitted, therefore the policy OF Terror
was good one. In fact most OF Mt. stephenss
instances in support of this hypothesis are OF the
post hoe ergo propter hoe kind. The French
army being better disciplined and better ohicered'
became more efficient; therefore. argues MI
Stephens, the Terror did it. This will not do.
Good administration will always produce improve
ment, but a policy of violence always does ana
always will defeat ITSELF by precipltating rs vio-
lent reaction. II is fatally defective view
which sees In the Terror anything other than
vicious abnormality, which first checked ana
then DETECTED the course Of the Revolution which
made it turn upon itself, and thus brought about
it's failure That the men who stand accountable
at the bar Of history for that disaster may have
meant we'll is nothing to the purpose. What they
did was ill., and unfortunately the evil did not
cease with their removal from the scene, for the
excuses of the Commune in 1870 were distinct
echo from the DAYS of 1898.

Over the appointment of Dickey--Ise-

Special Dispatch to Gazette and journal.
DOVER, May Ex-Governor Reynolds has
appointed John F. Stats of Townsend
county comptroller and John T. Dickey
receiver of taxes and county treasurer.
In making the appointment of Dickey
the governor was influenced by ''the con-
sideration that Diekey was the only man
whose name was presented by the people
of Wilmington, which city paying the
bulk of the taxes, he held, was entitled to
this office.
Those dissatisfied with the appointment
he holds have only themselves to blame
Notification was sent last week to oppo-
nents Of any one connected with the old
levy court regime to present some other
candidates. They did not do so; Carswell
would not have the place The governor
made it point TO ask every Whining
tonian who came into his office if he knew
anything against the integrity or personal
character Of Dickey, Nobody did. The
only objection was to his craftsmanship
consequently no other Wilmingtoman
being presented and backed for the place
and the governor not being personally
familiar with Wilmingtonians available
and better suited to the place he appointed
DickeY
Having given the appointment to the
upper end of the county and to poll
tician he deemed 1t equitable to take for
comptroller man from the lower end Of
the county and not politician. Though
Stats did not come with so much backing
as McCracken and Holcomb he did come
with nearly the solid backing of Apo
quinimink and Blackbird, and with some
support from Wilmington. In addition
he was an old friend Of the governor, and
personally known to him as capable,
honest, conscientious and irreproachable.
Here's man who will be comptroller
and will fill the office satisfactorily to both
Democrats and Republicans" the COVER
nor says, "a man so conscientious in the
discharge Of duty that he would not shield
his nearest friend if he found him wrong

Says He Never Knew the Brown Woman
Accounts for the Blood Stains on His
Clothes.
New YORK, May 2.-"Frenchy" No.
1, the supposed murderer of old Carrie
Brown, was called upon by reporter
at the Tombs prison this morning.
He was in a laxative mood which
was something unusual and expressed
himself through an interpreter. He
denied that he knew Carrie Brown at
least by that name or the names Shakes
peare or JEFF Davis. He had slept in the
East River Hotel, room No. 81, the
night of the murder. He was
not drunk had no money to
buy drink; the price of his bed was
the proceeds of begging from different
persons. When asked to explain the
blood on his clothes he said it came
from man with whom he quarreled
some time ago. They were old stains
and did not amount to anything.
Frenchy then declared, excitedly and
with much gesture, Il never killed that
woman; never killed any woman
Frenchy admitted that he had been
locked up in the county Jail for 80 days.
He denied having knife while in
prison. ! was out of work and sick, he
said, when he went there and was
locked up as vagrant. was searched
when going into the place. Do you
think the officers would have allowed
me to have knife there, asked Frenohy.
