A REGULATORY Measure.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The president
las issued a proclamation suspending
after January next the operations of
the act which relieves German vessels
entering United States ports from the
payment of tonnage dues end other
shipping charges. This action was
taken upon proof that American YES
sells are denied corresponding privi-
leges in German ports. The shipping
charges under our laws are based on
sliding scale. The presidents action
doubtless will arouse widespread in
terest in shipping circles. The presi-
dents proclamation will go into effect
the morning of January 3. after which
date the vessels of Germany entering
our ports must pay shipping charges
ranging on a sliding scale of from six
to thirty cents per ton per arnum.

GOLD I'M TEETH.
Quantities of the Yellow Metal Hammered
Into Jaws.


Into Jaws.
Il cannot form a very accurate idea
of the amount of gold used in gold leaf
and gold foil in this country said
manufacturer of this material, ''but it
is big quantity. Probably a dentist
could give you better idea than / can.
Gold foil is used almost entirely by
dentists in filing teeth: gold leaf is
used in gliding, book binding and oper-
ations of that sort, besides the show
that is made of acres and acres of gilded
way and another.
The quantity of gold used in gold
leaf is at least twice as great as that
used in foil. in spite of the fact that the
leaf is so much thinner than the foil.
A skilled man can hammer out %
ounces of gold foil ID day, while it will
take him week 10 make two ounces
of gold leaf, because it is so much thin
ner. This work has always been done
by hand, probably always viii be. A
single thickness of gold foil such as
dentists use-to the ordinary observer
that seems thin enough, in all con-
science-will make an entire book of
gold leaf"
How much gold foil do the dentists
use?" 1 inquired.
We'll" he replied. 81 should think
that they. use on an average about so
cents worth of gold per cavity. as
teeth go. Some are bigger. some are
smaller. This bottle" and he held up
a vial such as dentists keep their gold
in, holds some four dollars worth of
foil, and that would make about eight
filings of the average size"
If the average cavity bored out by
the industrious American dentist with
such extreme discomfort 10 the suffer
ing patient contains so cents worth of
gold, how much gold do all the millions
of cavities so constructed employ?
In one way and another, il is probable
that something like 25.0O0.000 of the
great American peopl care running
around on their usual business with
500. 0O6,0 900 worth of gold slowed away

TEXAS a FAILURE,
The Big Eattleship Utterly Unfit for
Service.

Service.
New York, Dec. 5.-The battle ship
Texas, which has been undergoing re-
pairs for two weeks, was hoated out
of the timber dry dock early Thurs
day morning, and with the assistance
of two government tugs was moored at
the Cob dock. The ship is unfit for
service and viii in all probability be

sum has been literally thrown into the

mistakes from the very beginning down

oording to the design and plans of an
English designer, who tricked the gov
eminent by submitting a gun and deck
plan that would legitimately cali for a
l0.o0o-ton displacement, whereas the
specifications were for battle ship of
5000 tons displacement. When this
defect was discovered the department
engineers tried to tinker the plans so
that they would do, and the result is a
heavy top. all out of proportion to the
light bottom, and the only thing left

Charles Rydeen was arrested at St.

prevent the prisoner from carrying out
his threat to kill Selma Eckstrom. The
young woman is employed as a domes-

to st. Paul to work in order to escape
the attentions of Rydeen. She did not
succeed however, for Rydeen followed
her and made life miserable with his

indeed and there appears to be a strong

band boys that the Instruments aud
players for a full band are all here with
the exception of a lead cornet which
would be a necessity in the event OF re
organizing the band. The members OF
the band here have information also to
the effect that one, John Stout, Of Sioux

be secured TO ill this important position,

otherwise, could be obtained for him

POLICE DUMMIES
Caustic Criticisms of Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain's Colo
NAL Policy.
British Guiana Legislature OBJ
jects to Proposed Military
Expenses.
A Proposition by the Governor
General to Use Indians as
Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Word comes
from British Guiana, indicating that
the high court of policy or Legislature of
the colony is further inclined to resist
the London authorities on matters con-.
nected with the Venezuelan boundary
trouble. Colonial Minister Chamber
lain's policy has been to strengthen the
colonial military force and buy Maxim
guns. He found difficulty in securing
guns and now the high court has passed
a resolution respectfully urging tho
government toreduce military expenses.
Mr.. Hunter, who introduced the reso-
luton, said, in supporting it, that the
Venezuelan boundary trouble had re-
suited in swelling the cost Of the police
from 1885,, 600 to $500, 600. They were,
he said, simply sent up to the Venezue-
Ian boundary to be made dummies of.
He understood q number were sent there
fully armed to protect the boundary,
and if the enemy approached they were
to say ''bOO" and retire. (Laughter.)
Mr.. Hunters further structures on the
military and police caused something
of q sensation. He was supported by a
number of members and the resolution
calling for retrenchment passed.
The Governor Generals Plan.
Sir Augustus Homming, the governor
general, then brought forward a novel
plan for strengthening the military
branch by enlisting Indians as colonial
troops. 1t was explained that the sys.
tenn would be somewhat similar to that
conducted by Great Britain in East
India, where the native troops are one
of the most effective branches Of her
majesty's military forces. The attorney
general, in supporting the proposition,
said it was proposed to give them regu.
lar commissions and titles, as captains,
etc., as an Indian thought a great deal
of himself if he bore a title and staff
Office. The commission would permit
the Indian officer to exact homage and
respect from the natives. The Indian
captains, c~onstables, etc. would be used,
the attorney general said, both to keep
the government informed as to events
in the interior, and also to suppress any
disturbance along the Venezuelan bor-
der. The plan was discussed at length,
but has not yet passed.
