Leads in Gold and Pig Iron.

The statistics collected for the Mineral In
dustry. the annual statistical supplement- of the
Engineering and Mining Journal, and published
in the Issue of April IL, shows that the total
mineral and metal production of the United
States for 1895 amounted in value to 1928, $780,
sos. The increase over 1894 was s64. 226, 503
or l54 per cent. For many of the articles in
cluded the production was the highest on
record.
The gold produced last year was 1865. 612
fine ounces, having total value of $40 $50, 200.
The increase over 1894 was S7.069 995. and last
year once more put the United States in the
front rank as a producer. The silver made
was 46, 33l ,235 ounces, and the commercial
value was $50, 254, 296; this is decrease Of
3,5l5, $40 ounces from 1894. The pig iron pro-
duction was the highest on record, amounting
to 9,446,3 0S long tons. Here again the United
States takes first place a producer, having
made about 100000 tons more than Great
Britain, its nearest competitor, and about 36OO,-
900 more than Germany, which stands third.
Nearly all through the list the production
shows substantial increase. The coal pro-
duction reached the enormous total Of 1885,
$4,000 short tons, putting this country very
near the tonnage of Great Britain, and showing
gain of 26,465, 900 tons over 1894.

In the Senate, Mr.. Carter, of Montana. who

Senate of the question of abolishing the appro-
priation for sectarian Indian schools. He

"no money herein appropriated shall be paid
for education of sectaran schools"

was inclined 10 agree with the Montana Sena-
tor on the question. Mr.. Lodge, Mr.. Allison,
aud others controverted the statements OF Mr..
Carter and quite an interesting debate was de-
veloped.
For q number Of years efforts have been
made 10 discontinue appropriations by the
Government for sectarian Indian schools.
The sentiment of Congress was SO plainly in
favor of such legislation. and steps having been
taken TO carry out the proposition, all the
Protestant churches Withdrew from the field,
and allowed the Government TO educate the H.
dams so far as those denominations were con-
cernei, in non seciarian schools.
But the Catholic Church has continued on in
the work, and has continued TO ask and re-
ceiye large appropriation for its Indian
schools Secretary Hoke Smith as well as
other officials, including the Indian Commits
sioner, who are charged with the care of the
Indians have earnestly advocated the aboli-
tion of sectarian schools. Secretary Noble and

grounds that the manufacturers and retailers
OF the articles should not he subjected to a
heavy tax. The tax provided for in the bill
is 800 Oh the manufacturer and $40 on the

Mr.. Grosvenor explained that flied cheese -

ton Of what is known rs " neutral lard -
