VALUE OF OUR METAL PRODUCTS
Output OF Silver Increased. but Its Vnlue
Was Much Less.


New York, June According to the
Engineering and Mining Journal, the
total value Of the mineral and metal
production of the United States in 1893
and 1894 was: 1893, $615, SAG, SOC; 1894, $685.
227 ,9O2; a decline of about $62,573.904. or
9 per cent. This great falling off was,
however due far more to lower prices
than a lessened quantity of the product.
Thus the value of the coal production
declined last year $l3, 49,, S2S, or z per
cent, while in quantity 1t fell off only
6.22O97O short tons, or 31s per cent. This
small decline in the volume of the coal
produced is substantially a measure Of
the whole mineral output OF the country
The copper output increased s per cent,
from 327, 255.7SS pounds in 1893 to $685.
5O4 314 pounds in 1894, though in value it
declined no less than 1,639, 500, or Az
per cent
The production of gold increased from
SS5, 955, 900 in 1898 to $50 761. POS in 1894,
but the commercial value of the silver
production declined from $47,311.450 in
! 1898 to $S1, 4O3, 531 in 1894. fall of $15,
! 9O7. 929, or "a per cent. This was partly
due to reduced production, but the price
also declined from 1872 cents per ounce
in 1898 to 60 cents in 1894 Other mineral
industrials have made a highly salts
factory record.

OUT OF VENEzuE AN YELLOW BOOK
Leaves of History Concerning the Re
cont boundary Line Dispute.

New York, June 3.-Important official
news regarding the controversy be-
tween England and Venezuela has just
reached this city, and is made public
through the Venezuelan yellow book
Referring to the boundary controversy
it first calls attention TO the fact that
the congress of the United States has
done is utmost to bring the question to
arbitratiS has even gone so far as to
request England to settle the dispute
in this way. 1t also states that the press
of Venezuela and all the English cor
porations doing business there have also
endeavored to bring about the same
end Even the pope has interested him
self in the controversy and offered his
friendly services. The report closes with
these significant words:
After having explained all measures
taken by the present government in this
important matter, from the day of its
Inauguration, the English have not adj
vanced one step into the territory of the
republic, and it is impossible for them
to do so without having a collision with
Venezuelan authorities"

More Crime Comm tied in San
Francisco and Minneapolis.
BOTH WERE MOST DIABOLlCAL
The San Francisco Tragedy Bears Some
Resemblance to Durant's
Grimes.

San Francisco, June Another dia-
bolical crime, bearing some resemblance
to the horrible tragedies of Emanuel
church. was unearthed this afternoon
by the discovery that Miss Nellie Har-
rington, aged SO, who occupied an up
per fat at 1,017 Ellis street. had been
outraged and murdered in her bedroom,
the door locked, and her clothing
and the furniture of the apartment then
set on fire. All the drawers and boxes
in the room were open and had been
ransacked. Several articles of jewelry
and her purse had been stolen.
Several dodgers occupied rooms in the
fiat, but none saw strangers about or
heard any unusual sounds. Attention
was first attracted by the smoke issuing
from Miss Harrington's rooms. When
her door was broken in, the bedding.
piled in the center of the room, was
found to be on fire, and beneath the
smoldering clothes was the blood
stained body of Miss Harrington. The
lower part of her body was badly
burned, but the face had escaped the
flames. Knife wounds were found all
over the unfortunate Woman's body and
on her face.
The theory of the police is that while
a thief was in the room Miss Harrington
entered. The man then murdered and
assaulted her, and after looting the
room escaped. locking the door and car
rying off the key.
The police are looking for State Sem
ator Buck of Solano county, that he
may explain his connection with the
murdered woman. A photograph of
Buck was found in Miss Harrington's
room. and the occupants of the house
Identify it as that of the only man who
sailed to see Miss Harrington.

Chicago, June 1.-Several months ago
Attorney-General Maloney began quo
warranto proceedings against the Pull
man Palace Car Company for the pur-
pose of taking away the company's

tate and building the town OF Pullman,
by erecting and operating the Pullman
building in this city. by manufacturing
brick, and in other ways.
Judge Baker handed down a decision

it's interests but one. The court held
that the company had no right to own

TWENTY TWO HOURS IN TnE wATEl
John Nj. Thornton Tells How lie and
One Other We're Saved.


City of Mexico, June John Nj.
Thornton, the railroad contractor, one
of the survivors, of the Colima wreck
gives the following account of the dis
aster and rescue:
After leaving the harbor of Mama
milo on Sunday afternoon we encoun-
tered a heavy sea and head winds,
which continued all night. The pas
sengers were kept inside. About 10
o'clock the next morning the storm
reached it's height and the wind was
blowing a gale and the waves running
mountains high. The ship seemed to be
in the trough of the sea, the waves strik-
ing her on the port side and keeling her
over to the starboard. At about IL
| o'clock the storm seemed its worst, and
the ship was lying over to starboard.
I left the deck and stood in the passage
way talking to Mrs. Thornton. The
deck seemed to have an inclination of
about As degrees and every wave dashed
over It, flooding the staterooms to a
depth of two or three inches.
"A heavy sea broke over the ships
bow, crashing through the main saloon

ANOTHER MURDER IN MINNEAPOLIS
halfwitted Young Man Hacks His Mother
AMI Sister TO Pieces.

AMI Sister TO Pieces.
Minneapolis, June Mrs. Martha M.
Elias and her daughter Annie were
found today welterng in their own
blood in the rooms over drug store on
Nicollet avenue. At first it was thought
the old lady had shot the girl as she
slept and then turned the revolver on
herself, blowing the top of her head off.
That was borne out by the fact that
Mrs. Elias mind had been affected by
the violent death of her husband IL
years ago.
More careful examination by the au-
thorities, however, shows beyond ques-
ton that both women were murdered.
1t is the belief of the officials that the
deed was committed by Lorraine ID.
Elias, son Of the murdered woman.
Elias was mentally unbalanced and was
for time confined in an asylum. but
was released May / as harmless. His
grip. containing money and clothing
marked with his name, was found in
his room.
A clean-cut bullet hole through the
glass of the front window showed that
one shot went wild. At the morgue it
was discovered that the victims had
been hacked and bruised with some in
strument like Ratchet, and the wounds
were sufficient in the case of the girl at
least, to have produced death.
The revolver was not clutched tightly
in the old lady's hand, as it would have
! been had she shot herself, but appeared
! to have been thrust into the hand.

EMPLOYEES WAGES ARE ADVANCED
First Turn of the Tide OF Ill Luck That
Befell Homestead.


Pittsburg. Pa. June 1.-The advance OF
10 per cent. in the wages Of the Carnegie
employees. which was announced a fort
night ago, goes into effect today. Twen-
ty-five thousand men are affected by the
raise, this being the first turn in the tide
of depression which was inaugurated by
the sweeping reductions of 1892, which pre-
cipitated the riots and bloodshed at Home
stead. The employees benefited by the
change are distributed as follows: Home
stead Steel Works, 4,v10 men; Edgar
Thompson Blast Furnace and Steel Plant,
5000 men: the two Union mills in this
city, 5000 men; the Lucy furnaces. 1000
men; Duquesne Steel Works, $500 men;
the Beaver Nail Works, 1900 men.
1t is claimed by some that even with
the advance the wages of the Carnegie
men are lower than those prevailing else
where. although it is admitted that the
improved machinery used in the Carnegie
works greatly increases the output per
man, and hence increases the remunera-
ton of those paid by the ton or piece.
TUBE WORKERS, TOO.
Reading, Pa, June 1.-The Reading Iron
Company today restored the wages Of the
500 tube works employees to what they
were in 1893.

Turkeys Ruler Is Sorry They Happened
Reform in Armenia

Constantinople, June 2.-The sultan
has sent his brother to the English,
French and Russian embassies here to
express his profound regret at the Jed
dab outrage-the attack of natives upon
the consular representatives of the de-
partments-and to inform the ambassa-
doris that the offenders would be court
martialed and punished. Ten Bedouins
have already been arrested, but it is
feared it will be difficult to discover the
real offender, as the event happened
at twilight.
The sultan has undertaken to reply
to the proposition of the powers regard
ing reforms in Armenia before the
feasts of Beriam, the powers having
declined to accept proposals to have his
answer deferred until after that period.
Reports from Erzeroum are to the effect
that Armenians are being prosecuted.

BANK PRESIDENT ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Cut His Throat and Poured Poison in
the Wounds.

inc hOuHuS.
Des Moines, June Be. r. Cassal, eX-
state senator and president of the First
National bank at Pella, made a sensa-
tional attempt to commit suicide yes
terday The bank was closed today by
order of Comptroller Eckels. 1t is in
bad shape and much indignation exists
over the attempt. Cassal had been
largely trusted. For some time he has
been specializing on the Chicago board
of trade, and had suffered heavy losses
of late, one deal last week costing him
about $4,000 For some time past he
has also been drinking heavily.
About 1890 Sunday morning the as
sistant cashier found Cassal in a room
at the rear of the bank lying on a cot
with blood oozing from three. ugly
gashes in the throat. He was alive, but
weak and unconscious, and probably
still under the influence of liquor.
1t appears Cassal had poured poison
into the wounds to aid death, but the
whiskey counteracted this. His family
is prominent. His friends claim that
the depositors will be paid in full.

NO SPECIAL COURT TERM AT BOISE
Idaho State supreme Court Disappoints
New County" Litigants.

New County LlttgantS.
Boise, May S1.-The justices Of the su-
preme court held a consultation today
and decided not to hold a special term
of court to hear any of the cases on the
docket. Justice Sullivan came from
HALEY to attend the consultation. He
returned on the afternoon train.
The action of the justices will be
great disappointment to those who
have commenced suits before that tri-
bunal to test the validity of the acts
creating Blaine and Lincoln counties.
They expected a special term would be
held in the early part of June for the
express purpose of disposing of the
county question.
The case will not be heard until next
fall. The affairs of the counties have
been practically at a standstill, as lit
tie business can possibly be transacted
pending the decision OF the supreme
court.

IS HUNTINGTON SHREWD?

| We are we'll aware that the high priest
of the Southern Pacific dynasty is gener-
ally credited with being a shrewd man
rather than a brilliant one. But there
are occasions in which the great arbitra-
| tor Of "a K street. in early days, seems
painfully deficient in that shrewdness and
forethought which is claimed by his sat
elites to be the chief distinguishing trait
of his character,
case in point is the season of mid
winter excursion travel across the CONT
nent to Southern California. At the
opening of the season, he advanced the
rate upon round trip tickets, good for
ninety days; and forced the Santa Fe line
to put its fares at similar rates under
threats of charging their local rates on
westbound freight destined for points
north OF Mojave. This the Santa Fe road
could not stand and was compelled to &C
cede to Mr.. Huntington's demands.
Right on the back of this came the
Inauguration of new style of midwinter
excursion travel that the author of the
famous Cotton letters evidently had not
contemplated. 1t consists OF mdwi n ter
excursion tickets to the Mediterranean,
good for ninety days, with round. trip
fares at 800 to Naples or Nice, $12O to
Constantinople and $3.50 to Jerusalem, in
Guiding railway fare from Joppa to the
most famous city i'll the world S history.
The steamers employed in this traffic
are all over $500 tons and fitted with every
possible modern fixture for the comfort of
their guests. The smallest are the two
Antwerp packets, Waesland and Rhyn-
land, 1900 tons each; next in size are the
Kaiser Wilhelm and Lain, of the North
German Lloyds, 1000 tons each; then the
Fuerst Bismarck and Emma Augusta of
the Hamburg American line 1900 tons
each; and last, the La Bourgogne and La
Touraine OF the French line, 5000 tons
each The last named ship is said to be
the best equipped vessel in Atlantic
waters and to set table equalled by no
other ship afoat.
These ships leave New York every
Wednesday and Saturday, At first the
number OF passengers was about two hun
dred and fifty, but after the third trip the
waybill showed invariably from four hu
dred and fifty to five hundred and twenty
five names. This means a transatlantic
exodus of about two thousand people
month, many of whom might have visited
California but for the prohibitory rates
charged by Br'er Huntington and e low
rates offered by the steamship lines. One
would have supposed that, in order to
meet such competition elsewhere, Mr..
Huntington would have lowered the rates
on excursion tickets to Southern Califor-
MIA instead of increasing them.
And that is why the Herald asks the
question, Is Huntington shrewd2
