Diamonds From Metals.

A few days ago M. Moissan, the dis
tinguished French metallurgist, dis
covered that if iron were saturated
with carbon at the high temperature
of the electric arc, some of the carbon
would separate out on cooling in the
form of true diamond. Another chem
ist, M. Rossel, has conceived the idea
that owing to the method by which
hard steel is manufactured it probably
contains diamonds, and this has been
found to be the case. By d~issolving
away the metal in acid and treating
the residue with concentrated nitric
acid, potassium ehlorate and hydro
fiuic and sulphuric acids, minute crys-
tails are left behind.

which the free siverites rely in this mat
ter is that which says that mo state
shall make anything but gold and silver
coin a tender in payment of debts But
this applies only to the action of the
states. and was intended TO prevent them
from issuing fiat paper money. 1t does
not pertain to the authority of the gov
eminent, and does not require congress
to adapt its legislation upon the subject
TO the standard established for the states.
The Trainers of the constitution foresaw
in this respect, as they did in so many
others. the possibility Of changed condi-
tions and congress was left free to meet
them according to the logic of circum-
stances. In other words, the whole prob
lem of the money metals of the govern
ment was cOntidcd to congress for de-
termination from time TO time as Il mat
ter Of public policy and in promotion of
the best interests of the country. 1t is
very certain that there was no intention
TO make imperative, or even permissible,
the coinage of any metal ina superflu-
Gus amount and under conditions of haz-
ard to the prosperity and welfare of the
people. The fathers knew all about
cheap money by bitter experience, and 1t
is entirely safe to say that if they were
now living they would not be in favor
of the free coinage of silver ut the dis
honest ratio of 1G to 1.-GlObe-Democrat.

GALVESTON RATES.
Representatives of the Cotton Shipping
Interests Meet and Discuss.

Galveston. Tex, July 10.-tSpecial.)-
A meeting of the representatives of the
cotton and shipping interests of the Gal
weston freight bureau was held today to
discuss the recent decision of the board
of administration of the Southwestern
Traffic association in changing the cot
ton insurance differentals, recently ad-
justed by a special board of arbitration
composed of Messrs. Morey, Newman and
Lord. The change was an additional
cent in favor of Galveston under Atlantic
seaboard rates. The New Orleans rate
was not changed. The Galveston meet
ing decided, after thorough discussion,
that unless some relief was given Gal
weston in the New Orleans differential
they would ask the Texas commission
to continue the investigation begun some
time ago and postponed until July 10, to
reduce the local rates to such an extent
that equality in the rates via Galveston
and New Orleans will be secured. Chair

Store and Blacksmith Shop, With Con-
tents, Totally Destroyed.
Bertram, Tex. July 10.-(Special)
Fire broke out in the top of Mr.. j. D..
Riley's new general store this morning at
1910 o'clock, which resulted in the. hire
consuming his entire stock of merchan-
disc, also burning Gracey & Taylor's
blacksmith shop. Mr.. Rileys loss is es,
timated at about $4,000, with only $1,000
insurance. Gracy & Taylor had no in-
surance on their shop. Loss, $500. The
origin of the fire is a mystery. The
people of the town turned out in full force
and worked hard to save something for
both firms, but in vain. They had a
hard fight to prevent the fire spreading to
Mr.. II. V. Vaughan's store, which they
accomplished by scratch. Had the
fire gotten into Vaughan's store the whole
of the south side of town would have
burned in spite of all that could have
been done. Great praise is due to the
people for the good fight they made.
