More Steel Rails for Japan.

lom tDe ST. LOUIE GlODe-DeUiOcrit
Another large order for steel rails is the
latest development in the line of direct
American export trade to Japan. The or
der is for 5000 tons for delivery up to the
end of the year. and was placed with the
Carnegie Steel Company by Mitsui & Co.
of Japan, after inviting bids in England
and in this country. This Is the second
large order that has been placed in this
country for steel rails on Japanese account,
the Illinois Steel Company having filled an
order for 1O.000 tons a few months ago,
and it is expected that the steel rail busi-
ness with Japan will develop into a steady
and important item of trade. The roads at
present are narrow-gauge, and there has
for some time been considerable agitation
OF the question of changing to the broad
gauge. With view of deciding whether
a change in the gauge shall be made i'm
mediately, the Japanese government has
sent Mr.. Matsumoto to this country to
study the matter thoroughly. 1t is under
stood that competitive bids are being
sought for locomotives from English and
American builders. The Brooks Locomotive
Works have an order for two narrow
gauge, saddle-tank, standard-type loco
motives. to be used on the Nanwa railroad
in Japan. This Is the first order the Brooks
works have received from Japan, and came
about in way very pleasing to the off,
cials of the works.

An ODD SEARCH FOR GOLD.
TnNiierniSt Dixon's Mission In Colo
RADIO WiIds.

RADIO "ilds.
From the Kansas City Star rs
Frank Dixon, the taxidermist of 721 Wal
nut street, who left this city three weeks
ago to hunt for gold in Colorado, which he
though. he could locate from gold dust
which he found on deer's teeth has written
back that he is still on the hunt and in no
wise discouraged. ..-.:..-.-.
Dixon's hunt for gold. and the way in
which he undertook it, would seem to many
Ike wild goose chase. Dixon was the
only taxiderm.st in this city. Birds and
animals came to him from over all the
west to be stuffed and mounted. year
ago he received two deer's heads from Colo
RADIO to be mounted. and when Dixon
skinned them he noticed yellow substance
on the teeth. He examined the teeth close
ly in the light and thought he saw a
sparkle. He argued this way: "The deer
browsed on grass that grew where there
was so much gold that its dust got on the
grass and became incrusted on the deer s
teeth. II only remains to find the exact spot
where the deer were shot, and there will be
found the gold
Dixon took the teeth to a dentist and he
said the incruStation was really a gold de-
post- He took them to his friend Schnet-
ter, a goldsmith. and he became as enthu-
siasuc as Dixon. Dixon then wrote to the
man who had sent him the deer's heads and
found out where the deer were shot, away
out beyond Denver IN the wilds of Colorado.
Schnetter and Dixon started three weeks
ago for that place.
a letter received today from Dixon states
that Schnetter has started back for Kansas
City, but Dixon, still full of hope, was about
to start a three weeks tour along the
south fork of the White river. He had
found no trace of gold, but the woods were
full of grouse and deer. He had examined
rte teeth of all the deer shot. and they were
all incrusted with the yellow, shining de-
Posit which he was sure was gold.

Misery Everywhere in the Land.

Distrust nnd Physical and Mental
Misery Everywhere in the Land.
From La Petit Gironde.
Poor Spain is having a hard time of 1t
just now. All sorts Of misfortunes are
crowding in upon her. First came the ex
plosion in the Cambios Neuvos in BARGE
Iona, which plunged the entire population
into the most profound amazement and
put great number Of families in mourn
ing. Then came the great rains of the past
winter, which seriously damaged the crops
of the richest provinces. Aragon. Navarro,
Catalonia, etc. The rains were soon follow
ed by burning and premature spells Of hot
weather, which completed the ruin. The
phylloxera also took hand in this work
Of destruction. and caused great damage
to the vines. Then. after the water, came
the fire. The terrible conflagration OF
Rueda, in the province of Valladolid. de-
stroyed COO houses and brought misery and
total ruin upon thousands Of honest work
men.
Now the political plague Is raging. Hun
dreds of republicans have been arrested in
Madrid. Seville and Barcelona, on informa-
ton more or less correct, which, just as IN
the days Of the inQu!stion. creates the
deepest distrust, even among neighbors.
All this is capped by the war In Cuba,
which is wasting so many millions and so
many lives
When will this horrible nightmare come
to an end? When will the measure be full?
When will there be surcease Of SO much
mourning and misery?
The roads are crowded with poor people
travelling from one province to another
each one carrying, like Bias. all his earth
ly goods in a sack or two old shirts, a
pair of trousers, blouse and a few pota-
toes or other vegetables taken from the
fields that torder the roads In this way
they tramp along with heavy hearts. hag
gard and emaciated, worn out by suffer
ings, seeking relief one day from charity
and the next day from theft. Every day
brings new professions of wretched wan
derers knocking at each door and begging
for bread. The sight is hearth ending.
Al the same time the situation Of those
in authority is grave. The government does
not know what to do. Reinforcements of
40, 600 men are needed in Cuba. They will
be supplied. Agencies of a more less
suspicious character are working with
energy for that
But big sum of money, twenty millions.
trey say, will also be needed. The govern
ment has studied the means of procuring
it. but the cortes refuses to adopt the pro-
posed measures 1t is easy to see, there
fore, that the difficulties are great, both
above and below. Wretchedness is all
around. Among the lower classes it is
physical; in the upper classes 1t is moral.
The picture Is dark enough without wan
tonly making it darker.
When will all this come to an end?
