to allow for growth instead of figuring too

Whitelaw Reid as Minister.

Philadelphia Press: Mr.. Whitelaw
Reid returns from France this week
after the most successful career as
minister OF the United States in Paris
enjoyed by any American representa-
tive since Mr.. Elihu Washburne's
brilliant discharge of the duties of
American minister during the troubled
days of the Franco -Prussian war and
the Commune.
With the exception of Mr.. Wash
burne and the great Philadelphia
journalist who first represented this
republic in Franz :, it would be diff
cult to name any one of the two score
men who have filled the post which
Mr.. Reid is just leaving who has been
more successful in it's duties. As
might naturally be expected in this
long series of successive ministers at
one OF the two most important diplo-
matte posts of Europe, no small share
of Mr.. Reid's predecessors have been
men of the highest historical distinc-
ton. Two of them became president,
more than one was candidate for vice
president or held that Office. Gov
erneur Morris, who, like Mr.. Wash
burne, filled this place in days OF agi-
tation and tumult, was one of the
most distinguished figures of the revo-
lutionary period, and there Is scarcely
a name in the long list which has not
been conspicuous in some field of ac-
tion and public service at home.

Territorial Woods.

Justice, Bateman & Co.: Terrific
rial woods are easier. The supply on
the market is light. The lots left un-
sold are mostly faulty and might be
placed on the basis OF 55c secured for
fine, and SOC secured for medium.
Sellers, however, are demanding the
prices which were obtained FOR better
wool, viz, So to 56c for fine medium,
and from So to 6Oc for fine. Skirted

Machine For Working Dry Placers.

Geo. W. OdeIl, an old time Montan-
IAN who is well known all over the
state, and especially at Butte and
Bozeman, writes to a friend IN Helena
concerning machine for working over
old mill tailings and for dry placers.
He is now located at Everett, Wash
ington, and states that he has had
grand success with his machine so far,
and thinks OF building one in San
Francisco which he will take to Ari-
zona and use in working the dry
placers OF that region. He states that
the machine will save gold in any dirt
except wet clay, and has "a capacity
OF 1 90 tons OF gravel n day. 1t his
machine will accomplish what he says
it will ne does not need to go to Arr

of acres within twenty miles OF Helena

Was a Match For Salisbury.

LIVERPOOL, April AT a meeting
here last evening Sir George Baden
Powell said he had rough time OF 1t
in America. Although in Lord Sails
bury he had an intellect behind him
superior to that OF any man in Amer
ica, Secretary Blaine was one OF the
ablest men America had produced.
Mr.. Blaine had acted straight in ali
the Bering sea negotiations, and had
agreed to submit to arbitration the
only disposition that could ever create
bad blood between America and
England. SIR George thought that tbs
adoption of this method for the ad
justment OF the difficulty would es
tablish a precedent for the adjust
ment OF the fishery disputes witt
other nations.

woolen Depression in Europe.

A former English but now Phila-
delphia worsted manufacturer, who,
after the passage OF the Mckinley BILL
transferred his machinery from Brad
ford, England, to the vicinity of Phil
adelphia, writes from England that
the depression in the wooden business
i'm Europe is so vast that weavers
formerly employed by him when in
England are now receiving only 13
shillings or about 1925 per week, as
against S13 paid to American labor
working on the same looms and for
the same service. This, as near as
may be, is 81 in England as against
"a in the United States for this class
OF work. The passage OF the Springer
| bill, even with the advantages that
| manufacturers would have with free
wool, it is believed would close every
wooden mill in the United States unless
wages were reduced one-half.

TIN FROM TEMEscAL.
The First Consignment Declared Equal to
the Best in the World

New YORK, March 30.-A portion
OF the cargo OF the Pacific mail steam
ship Newport, which arrived here to-
day from Colon, was composed OF
American tin from the tin mines of
Temescal in California.
These mines have been opened for
six months, and have been operated
successfully for three months. The
tin from them has been extensively
sold on the Pacific slope, but this is
the first shipment to the east.
The tin was sent from San Fran
cisco by way OF the isthmus, and con-
sisted of 334 pigs, or one car load. 1t
WAS shipped by Balfour, Guthrie &
Co., and consigned to Balfour, Will
liams & Co, OF this city.
The quality of the tin is equal to the
best produced in the world, being
equal to that from the Straits settle
ments.- The Straits tin sells for 20ls
cents pound, and this consignment
of California tin will be sold at the
same price.
1t will be disposed OF in sample lots
and larger shipments from the Pacific
coast will follow.

The Markets Of the World--Where :

The report predicts that if this bill
should pass it would speedily open up
foreign markets for our woolen goods.
Pray, where? The countries that use
wooden goods for the most part make
a larger amount than they consume.
Could We successfully export to Eng
land, or to France, or to Belgium. or
to Germany? 1t is folly to assume
that we could do SO with our higher
paid labor. Why, with cotton lower
than England can have it, we export
only twelve millions of cotton goods
per annum, and these all coarse goods,
while we import twenty-five millions
of fine goods. What reason is there
to expect that we could do as we'll with
woolens, which require larger amount
of labor in their manufacture? Surely,
none Indeed, all the imports of wool
ems by all the countries OF the world
including England, France and Ger.

Cool Heroism.

Galignani Messenger: Charles Mou-
genot, young engineer on board the
ironclad, Admiral Baudin, has just
had his right hand amputated at the
Toulon military hospital, as the re-
suit of injuries received under the fol-
lowing remarkable circumstances: He
was starting the engines on the vessel,
in accordance with Instructions, when
his hand caught in the machinery.
To have withdrawn it at that mo-
ment might have caused a serious ac-
cident to the big ironclad, and thus
have endangered the lives OF every
body on board. With extraordinary
courage and sang froid the brave fel.
low, who is only twenty-one years ol
| age, did not move until all danger was
| averted, by which his hand was liter
ally torn to pieces. He will be recon-
mended for the military medal.

BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
The Bering Sea Arbitration Treaty is Rati-
fed by the Senate.

On March 29th after two hours
spent in executive session in consider
ing the Bering sea arbitration treaty
it was ratified by unanimous vote.
The treaty in substance provides
that the Bering sea controversy shall
be submitted to "A tribunal farbitra-
tlon to be compo Ell al seven aIDltr.s-
tors, IN, president ot the Unite.
States anu her BrIttanIc majesty TO
have two each, and the president of
France, the king of Italy and the king
OF Sweden and Norway to name one
each. The arbitrators are to be dis
tinguished jurists in their respective
countries, and the treaty provides
that they shall meet in Paris within
twenty days after the delivery of the
counter case or what might be called
evidence in rebuttal. The printed case
OF the two parties accompanied by
documents, official correspondence
and other evidence is to be delivered
in duplicate to each arbitrator and
to the agents OF each high contracting
party as soon as possible after the
tribunal, but within period not ex-
ceeding three months from the ex-
change OF the qualification of the treaty.
Within the next three months, unless
more time is required, the counter
cases are to be delivered. The arbi-
traitors are commissioned "to proceed
impartially and carefully to examine
and decide the questions that have
been or shall he laid before them"
All questions considered by the tri-
bunal, including the final decision, are
to be determined by majority of the
arbitrators.
Five questions are to be submit ed
to the arbitrators. These are:
First-What exclusive jurisdiction
in the sea now known as the Bering
sea, and what exclusive rights in the
seal fisheries therein, did Russia assert
and exercise prior and up to the time
OF the cession OF Alaska to the United
States?
Second-How far were these claims
OF jurisdiction as to the seal fisheries
recognized and conceded by Great
Britain?
Third-Was the body OF water now
known as the Bering sea included il.
the phrase "Pacific ocean," as used in
the treaty of 1926 between Great
Britain and Russia, and what rights,
if any, in the Bering sea were held and
exclusively exercised by Russia after
such treaty?
Fourth-Did not all the rights of
Russia as to jurisdiction and as to
the seal fisheries in Bering sea east of
the water boundary, in the treaty be-
tween the United States and Russia,
