The Right Hon. \. J. Balfour, couser-
vative leader IN the British house OF
commons, made ii speech before the BIZ
metallic league of London and the re-
port OF that speech says:
He said that the belief III blmetallism
is growing, not only IN London and else
where in Great Britain, but throughout
the civilized world. One great change
was noticeable. 1t was seldom now as
serted that bimetallism was intrinsicaliy
impossible. Formerly IA bimetallist was
regarded as a dangerous faddist. Econ
omists who placed value on the lessons
OF experience had before them the ir.
REPUTABLE fact that while the Latin "a

the par exchange OF gold and silver wat
preserved for the whole world, despite
wars, industrial revolutions and discov
cries Of the precious metals. =
Depew characterlzes bimetallism as
hobby. Balfour demonstrates that 1t il
something more than a fad. It is Gus
tomary for monometallists to call names

INDIANS PROTEST

Against Allowing the State to Select
Lands on the Reservation
WASHINGTON, April S.-From time to
time protests have been received from
the Indians against allowing the state
of South Dakota to select lands in the
coded limits Of the reservation. The
objections are based upon the claim
that if the state obtains the lands in
stead of settlers it will be many years
before they can be occupied The right
of the state to select lands cannot be de-
termined until after the lands are
opened for settlement and it makes APP.
plication for selection.

Article Adopted by the Utah Convention

SALT LAKE, April S.-The woman
suffrage article, which was passed to a
third reading by the convention several
days ago, came up again during the day
on a motion to recommit with instruc-
tons to present the question to the peo-
pie in a different article. The most of
the day was spent in discussion OF the
subject. Able speeches We're made OIL
both sides. The motion to recommit
was lost-42 to 50. A vote to adopt the
article was carried-75 to land it
now goes to the committee on revision.
Unless the opposition can muster votes
enough to have this action reconsid-
cred, woman suffrage in Utah may be
considered an accomplished fact.

NO PROCLAMATION
Until Secretary Smith Decides on south
C-- lbukota's Claims.


WAIST SGroN, April S.-The procla-
nation for tie opening of the Yankton
lands in South Dakota will not be Is
sued until there az be an investiga-
ton by the secretary OF thu interior OF
the present contentious that exist.
Secretary Smith will determine whether
the state can select the land, and. if SO,
whether it will not be compelled also
to pay for them at the same price as
agreed upon In the treaty with the In.
dams. In the enabling act admitting
South Dakota the state was granted
about 500, 900 acres Of land. 1t is an
open question whether selections made
of coded Indian lands would not mean
that the state would get them free OF
the charges which settlers have to pay,
81. 10 per acre. The proclamation viii

vestigated.

The Minneapolis Will Have Her Final
Trial Off Jamaica.
WASHINGTON, April S.-The triple
screw cruiser Minneapolis is to have
her final trial in foreign seas, which
will be a departure from the old prac-
tice. 1t has been customary to keep a
new ship i'll home waters for half a year
after her first or acceptance trial to
smooth down her machinery and make
it easy to effect any changes that g
perience might warrant.
Orders were cabled to the admiral at
Kingston, Jamaica, to put the ship
through a thorough two days sea trial
some time between the 23d inst. and
May &, which last date will be just five
months from that of the original ac'
ceptance trial.

danger lies In the liability OF an explo-
sion II the gas becomes ignited.
The explanation OF the appearance In
n damp cellar of substance so COM
bustible and unstable In the presence OF
moisture as metallic sodium is given as
follows:
The metallic sodium was the product
OF an electrolytic decomposition OF Inn
pure sodium hydrate. This sodium hyd-
rate came from the cement mortar used
I'm laying the brick wall of the basement,
upon which the wires were supported.
Some of the hydrate may have worked
its way through the wall from the ce-
ment used in the foundation OF the
paved street Immediately adjacent.
The electric current which caused the
eiectroIytic action was due 10 n leak in
side the casing from one OF the mains
TO another. The leak was produced by
the action of the sodium hydrate on
the insulating covering OF the wires.
This covering was what is known ms
waterproof insulation" which consists
of a cotton braidng covered with tar.
sue, 4 material is readily attacked by
sodium hydrate and its insulating pro-
perties destroyed. Moreover. the sodium
hydrate itself furnishes a good path for
the current when 1t has once penetrated
through the insulation.
The case is interesting i'm connection
with several of the explosions which have
occurred I'm underground conduits, usual

Another Danger From Electric Wires.

An interesting case, illustrating a new
source of danger from electric wires. was
recently brought to the notice OF the
Boston Board Of Fire Underwriters by
the accidental sounding Of an automatic
fire alarm i'm zone Of the Washington
Street buildings.
For some time a slight smoke had
been noticed issuing from the casing
about the electric-light wires in the
basement where they enter from the
street. When the insurance inspectors
arrived and IN casing was removed
il was found that peculiar substance
had accumulated about the wires. which,
when mOistened and struck with any
hard substance, would give off flashes of
fire. All around the point the woodwork
was covered with a thick liquid, which
had dried in places to a white substance
resembling discolored salt, and which
was slippery to the touch and strongly
