Spain may look the world over and
will not find an intelligent observer
anywhere who believes that it can
ever restore the old condition of af-
2airs in Cuba. But Spain pushes on
with fresh armies, blind to her own in
terests and deaf to every reasonable
consideration.

STATE AND GENERAL.

The case of the Western Union Tele-
graph versus the various county auditors
and county treasurs rs of the state OF
Indiana has been filed in the United
States supreme court for docketing.
The case involves the constitutionality
of the state law OF 1893, providing for an
extra tax on telegraph. telephone, sleep
pears that the valuation fixed by the
state board was made up on the basis OF
the New York quotation of the Western
Union stock, which the company con-
tends was unfair and inequitable. The
company asks to have the county Off
cials enioined from the execution Of the
law.
The school census for Fremont coun-
ty for 1895 is Just completed, and furn-
ishes several interesting facts. The to-

An odd fact in connection with the CEN

The Races at Telluride.

The Telluride journal gives the fol
lowing report OF the races at the West
crn Slope Congress:
The Durango team was the first a,
the scratch. Thursday morning, and
made the run in % % seconds. As
they had the hose on the hydrant only
one and one-half turns no time was
given, as the rules called for two whole
threads on both hose and nozzle.
Telluride came second, made all con
nections properly and received % A
seconds as their time. This would have
hydrant wrench slipping and having to
be readjusted in order to get proper
pressure.
The third team was Delta, who
made an excellent run but failed TO
make proper connections. They ran in
% %, but got no time.
"Montrose ran fifth, made all connec-
tions and got water in % 2-5. The par
tial reason for this was the hydrant was
no. properly set and was too hard to
open.
Rico ran sixth, made good run, all
connections, but had the same luck the
Telluride boys had. and pulled the hy-
draat wrench clear off the plug. and az
ter readiusting it, got water in - 80
seconds.
The Telluride boys team ran twenty
five yards short. and made the run, all
connections, and got water in 241i sec
onds. The boys are from II to II years
OF age. used inch hose and the same hy-
dram. and track the men did.
"The pressure stood go pounds with
the hydrant closed and from $50 TO 155

A Solid Boom.

The officials Of the Rio Grande have
just returned from trip over the sys-
TEN on the western slope in Colorado
and are enthusiastic over what they
saw OF the prosperous appearance Of
that section Of the state. They saw
berries, pears, plums and peaches in
astounding abundance. The grass is
fine and there is plenty OF it and stock
growers are in excellent spirits over
the prospects OF fat cattle and good
market in the fall. In the mining
camps the party found the same buoy
ant feeling prevailing, indicating a
prosperous season. Most q the mines
are being worked, many of them en-
ploying full force. At Grand Junction.
Rico. Telluride and Ouray there is great
activity in every industry. where last
fall extreme dullness prevailed. Every
valley has responded prolifically in
crops and the mountains are responding
with big yield Of precious metals.
The western slope is booming and every
body is feeling good.-Adviser.

Buying Silver.

No syndicate has yet been formed to
take up the big Chinese loan to satisfy
the Japanese war indemnity of 100000
Gc taels, but syndicate OF specuiators
in England. has been buying up silver
for several months in quiet way. so as
not to alarm the market, and is harding
it in Great Britain, solely with the idea OF
selling it to the combination which will
take up the loan.
This buying has been going on for
several months, at the rate of one mil
lion ounces week. Hundreds Of thous-
ands OF ounces have been exported
every week from this country alone. 1t
is impossible, of course, to tell how much
has been bought in Mexico. South
America and Australia, which stand
second, third and fourth, respectively,
to this country in the production of a
much discussed metal. But as the
weekly exports from this country have
been between 10000 and 100000
ounces, it may readily be seen that the
accumulated silver in England in the
hands Of this syndicate now aggregates
an extremely large total, and these spec
ulators undoubtedly now absolutely con-
troll the market
In every probability the recent rise in
the metal was due TO the operations of
this combination. although the publica-
ton of the amount of the indemnity
naturally had stimulating effect on
the market.

A Smooth Device,

Anoth very important step in mod
ernizing the defences of New York har-
Dor has been completed at Fort Hamil-
ton. 1t consists of series of tests of a
position finder recently invented by
Lieutenant Bradley A. Fiske OF the
United States navy. 1t was found to be
a valuable adjunct to the disappearing
guns recently placed in position there
by the government.
A series Of observations were taken on
points of known distance from the forts
with excellent results, the error of range
being slight Other observations were
taken on passing craft and afterward
compared with the ranges taken with a
transit. In every case the Fisk position
finder showed an error Of less than per
cent for each 1000 yards OF range, which
is the standard required by both the
United States and English governments.
The board said the Fiske position
finder would solve satisfactorily what
has been very difficult problem in com
pleting the utility Of the disappearing
gun. AS the gunner can not see the
enemy, it is necessary that the range
and direction be taken at some other
point, and in the case of moving
object, such as ship, accurately and
instantaneously conveyed to the gunner
at the moment OF firing. This was done
satisfactorily the first time.
