GUOD INV ESI MENT
Are the Uni,ed s,nte. Bonds says an En-
glish Paper,

LONDON, Feb. l6.-The Stats, in an
article on the United States loan, says:
United States bonds. running thirty
years and yielding three and one-half
per cent, are an exceedingly good in
vestment and will, without doubt, be
eagerly sought fer In London and on
thp~ continent, but they viii not put an
end to the crisis. The new COppress VIII
not be likely to pass the requisite meas
ures and President Cleveland will not bort
row again. The result will be that gold
will go to a premium, but the Govern
ment will not break faith with It's credi-
tors. but will pay gold, though its domes-
tic currency Is silver. The Etruria and
Paris will carry 100000 pounds in gold for
New York to-day
The Economist maintains that it would
be absurd to pretend that the United
States is under any obligations, moral or
otherwise, to pay gold. The case, the
paper SAYS, is Identical with that OF IN
dia. which. If 1t elects 70 issue gold
loan. can borrow at less rate than
three per cent, but has to pay an ad-
ditionaI one per cent for rupee loan.

tent, as basis for new circulation when
money begins TO harden later in the
year, as is anticipated. The savings
banks are also desirous of obtaining
proportion of the bonds for investment.
Bids at lis were made to-day to members
OF the syndicate. but were not cons'd-
cred. The managers of the syndicate
intend to offer the bonds at a price which
will insure a quick absorption OF the
amount to be sold. and will not base
their judgment on any such isolated bids
as have been made for small scattered
lots.
Russell Sage. who withdrew $50 90 gold
from the sub-treasury yesterday Is not
and will not be a member of the syndi-
cate, and none of the syndicate members
will take any of his gold from him. All
the members of the last syndicate who
withdrew gold from the sub-treasury
have been carefully excluded from the
Belmont Morgan syndicate.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Feb 1G.-Gen-
eral debate on the naval appropriation
bill was closed to-day. Mr.. Washington

ocratic party would have TO redeem Cre
pledge made in the platform adopted at
Chicago

acted was the passage of the following
bills:
Declaring IL TO be the sense of the
Congress that Great Britain and Vene-
zuela should settle by friendly arbitra-
tration the Guiana boundary dispute.
which had been in existence since 1897:

PASSING OF THE MULE.
Little Further Use for the Animal In the
World.


World.
At the Eureka colliery, Winderist,
Pa. where eleven thousand tons OF
bituminous coal are turned out every
month, there is not a single mule drag
ging out It's gloomy life in the long un-
foreground works. Electricity has re-
placed animal power to good advantage
to the mine operators and to the mules
as well. At present, says the Philadcl-
phia Inquirer, there are in the colliery
nine thousand one hundred and thirty
feet of track, having IL gauge of thirty
six inches. The coal is collected in cars
holding about a ton each, which
are made up into trains of
twenty-five to forty cars. Formerly
the cars were connected together
by chains and hooks, but since
electricity was adopted they have been
supplied with link and pin couplings.
The grades, as a rule, are under two
per cent, and the most of them are IA
vorable to the loaded trains. Just at
present one locomotive is in use. 1t is
little over ten feet long, five feet
wide and eXerts a pull of fifteen hun
dred pounds at q speed of eight miles
tth Is LdkCn from q
bare copper wire by a trolley and the
locomotive can be operated when the
trolley wire is only three feet above the
rails. The whole car is protected by a
strong covering from damage by fall
ing rock. Three more locomotives
have been ordered for the switching
service inside the mine. They are
somewhat smaller and are designed for
pull Of about eight hundred pounds
at the drawbar. The powcr-housc is n
little frame building containing q six
teen by five and half-foot boiler, a
one hundred-horse power engine and a
nincty-liilowatt generator. The own
ers of the mine are SO pleased with the
operation of the electric haulage plant
that they have been installing one at
another of their collicries.

engines which operate the drums
around which the steel cables coil
themselves so quickly are marvels OF
the cnrinc builders art. The drum OF
the sting engine at 20. 8 shaft is 81
feet in diametcr-ncarly 100 feet Of steel
cable, IL inches in diameter, is coilcd
over it at every revolution. The Calu-
met & Hecla has one cable IL inches in
diameter, over 4 miles in length. Tho
weight of the cable alone Is several
tons. when hoisting is begun from tho
bottom of the shaft.
To the skilled mechanic or scientist,
or to the person who is disposed to eS-
amino carefully the giant forces which
man has brought under such perfect
subsection, the deep mines and the ma
chinery clustered about the surface OF
the shafts arc ofgreat interest. 1t is no
show place, for the stains of rcclk and
oil are in many places, but nowhere
else are assembled such nagnificcns
plants for the operation of mines.
A trip down the shaft is an experience
never to be forgotten. A special signal
is always used when human cargoes
are to be raised or lowered, and tho
cage ascends or dcsccnds at snairs
pace, compared with its speed when
lowering timber or hoisting rock. Tho
pace is rapid enough in all conscience,
despite the slackening in speed, being
perhaps twice that of one OF the OK
press elevators which shoot up and
down the narrow chutes in the sky
scrapers of Chicago or New York. Tho
novice feels that he has suddenly lost
half his weight, and that the remainder
may disappear at any moment. leaving
him suspended in space. Such q sensa-
ton might be pleasant on the surface,
but it is decidedly not SO when shoot

lamp nffording just enough light to
show the black rock walls on all sides
shooting upward with frightiul speed.
Vertigo or swooning may ensue if tho
person is not of good heart and phys
ical power.
On the return trip the sensations nrc
reversed. There is sudden accession
