Gathering Gold from the Sea.

The sea as a whole contains an
enormous amount of gold, but every
gallon contains quantity express
ibie chemically only as trace. Many
years ago patent was taken out for
securing this precious metal from the
ocean, and moae recently another in
yentor has brought out another
method TINT for economy in working
can scarcely be surpassed. Plates of
iron are to be arranged in series with
plates of copper, and their combined
effect, when immersed in sea water,
is to bring about a kind of electricity
Sis whereby the gold attaches itself
to the copper Batteries of this kind
are to be placed in tideways and at
tached TO the bottoms of sea going
ships, and in process of time a thick
coating of gold will adhere to 1t.

BRYAN'S SPEECH AT RIPLEY

Ripley. Aug. 31.-The Bryan party
stopped at Prospect Park in Chautauqua,
and in response to the call of the people
he made Il few appropriate remarks de-
void of political flavor.
From ChautauGua the trip on the lake
was continued to Mayville. The bal
cony of the Mayville hotel had been dec
Grated with flags. and from there Mr..
Bryan made Il short speech. He al
luded happily to the residence of Judge
Albion Tourgee in that village. Most of
the 400 people displayed punches of
golden rod on their coats and hats and
had their teams decorated with flowers.
After Mr.. Bryan had finished. Il man
proposed three cheers for Mckinley,
which were given. Nevertheless. the
crowd cheered Bryan heartily as he
drove away to the music of the village
band.
Bryan's speech at Mayvillc was as fol
lows:
Ladies' and Gcntlemen--I think that
this campaign is what may be called an
ideal one in this respect-that people are
discussing principles and are making
their party conform to their ideas,
whereas sometimes people make their
ideas conform to their party. When
ever we look upon Il party as means
of worship. when we suppress our own
consciences and ignore the results arrived
ut by our own Judgment in order to
stand in with the party, | think we dc
ourselves an injustice and ignore our OBJ.

| wants and careful to examine the policies
| proposed by various parties. and | will
| show you people who will have self

thing. but simply states that we mus
maintain it until other nations help us
to secure something else. namely. bimet

After the republican party had de
clared for the maintenance of the golG
standard until other nations should come
to our relief the democratic party de
clared in favor of an immediate restora

A GREAT VICTORY ron DUBOIS
Supported by All Except Three or
FOur Counties In the state.

Boise, Idaho, May 10.-All the republican
county conventions but one have been held
and many have been heard from The re-
suit is almost unanimous Endorsement
of the attitude of Senator Dubois With
only three or four exceptions the county
conventions have supported him. Most Of
them have directly instructed their dele
gates to vote for him as a delegate to
st. Louis. The sentiment is almost over
whelming in favor of sending no man to
st. Louis who will not stand squarely for
Dubois policy. 1t is a great victory for
him. Reports from the southeastern coun-
ties show they went with a sweep for
Dubois. Blaine county instructed for Du-
bois, Wilson and Sweet as delegates: Ere
mont for Dubois. Wilson and Sweet and
Ben Rich; Bannock for the three first
named. Bingham did not instruct but
strongly indorsed Dubois position. Bear
Lake is anti-Dubois, but no opposition Is
expressed in the resolution. It's delegates
were instructed for VIM. Bulge as dele
gate. Lincoln county went against Du
bois and for Mckinley

INTERPRETATION OF TREATIES


London, May 10.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard says:
Senior Canovas del Castillo has publicly
stated that America has not protested
against Spain's right to punish filibuster-
ers, but only against the summary trial.
American citizens are entitled to be tried
in the civil courts under the treaties Of
1895 and 1877. The Spanish government is
willing to consider the demand and has
cabled to Captain General Weyler to de-
lay the execution pending the result of
negotiations which are actively proceed
ing between Washington and Madrid to
define the Interpretation of the aforesaid
treaties.
Senior Castillo made a long speech at a
meeting of the conservative senators and
deputies on Saturday evening, in which
he declared this was national question
which must some day be settled with the
assistance of all parties.
The Apoca, the government organ. in
guarded language, recommends prudence
and deprecates demonstrations. 1t clearly
intimates that the government will make
another effort to conciliate President
Cleveland by ordering General Weyler to
send all the papers bearing upon the case
here for the supreme court to pronounce
upon. The execution of the sentences
would thus virtually be shelved.
The rest of the Madrid press are unan-
imous in the opinion that America has ia
ken an ungenerous and unjustifable ad-
vantage of Spain's difficulties

A PIONEER OF THE NORTHWEST


Washington ID. c.. May 10.-Few of
those entitled to call themselves pioneers
of the Pacific northwest, now comprised
in the three great states of Washington,
Oregon and Idaho, were unacquainted
with the late Dr. William C. Mckay of
Pendleton Or, whose widow is now seek
ing a special pension from the United
States government of 500 a month. DR.
Mckay was one of the earlier heroes of
the Pacific northwest and did probably
more than any other one man to save
the settlers from the savages during their
outbreaks. He served with United States
troops in various capacities, and while
never regularly enlisted, at one time drew
the pay and allowances of second lieu
tenant of cavalry. The Oregon legisla-
ture memorialized congress to pass tn s
bill, and Senator Shoup, voicing the senti-
ment of the senate committee on pen
sions. has made a strong report in its
favor.

GERMANS TOLD TO STAY AT HOME


Berlin, May 9.-The Reichsanzieger to-
day publishes long article warning the
Germans against emigrating to the United
States, and giving extracts from the an
nual report of the German society of New
York. referring to the increase of the
number of ignorant immigrants from
Italy, Russia, Poland, Ireland and Aus
tria. with whom, the rvisSrt adds that
educated German mechanics can not COM
pete, because they are used to a higher
standard of living. In addition the Ger
man immigrants with capital are eau
tened against investing in land, the title
to which, 1t is said is often fraudulent.
Clerks, teachers, officers scientists and

. NEW rowNsITE LAND BILL
Towns on Private Land May Take I'm
Government Land.

Washington May 10.-It is quite likely
that before this session closes congress
will take up and pass the bill introduced
by Representative Lacey. amending the
land laws relative to town sites. 1t rs
proposed by him to substitute the follow
ing for section of the act of March g.
1871.
Section L. That it shall be lawful
for any town to make entry or entries
Of such tracts of public lands contiguous
thereto as viii, when added to the tracts
oil land then occupied by such town, not
exceed 256O acres, provided. that the lands
so entered shall not, together with the
tracts then occupied by such town, be in
excess of the area to which such town
would then be entitled by virtue of its
population, as prescribed in section 1888
of the revised statutes"
This bill has received the sanction of
the public lands committee of the house.
ana is now on the calendar. Under the
existing statutes it has been held by the
department of the interior that town
site, when originally located upon public
land may be extended to include addi-
ton lands of the public domain under
the townste laws But where the town
is plated upon private land adjoining
public lands the adjoining land can not
he entered for townsite purposes under
the statutes in their present form. The
committee was of the opinion that the
right to enter additional lands for town
site purposes should be so extended that
towns laid out upon private lands should
also be included in the statutes. Mr..
Lacey's bill will accomplish that pur-
pose. and the same was prepared in con-
ference with the officials of the general
land office

THE NEW BATTLEsHIP OREGON
She Is the Queen of Her CInss-TrInI
Trip Tomorrow.

Santa Barbara, Cal, May 10-The bat
tleship Oregon, the official trial of which
will be made on Tuesday. is the queen of
her class. The oregon arrived here from
San Francisco this morning and her be-
havior on the trip caused Irving Nj. Scott,
her builder, to express the belief that on
her official trip she will beat the record of
her sister ship, the Massachusetts. Ad-
miral Beardslee shares the opinion of Mr.
Scott. On the trip down the coast the
Oregon made 10 or 1S miles at the rate of
1874 knots an hour and not even then was
pressed to her full capacity AS the OFF,
cial record of the Massachusetts is only
16.15 knots. the performance of the oregon
places her at the head of her class of
hattleships.
