Did you discuss politics with Mr.

remark by me to the effect that Mr.
Hanna had been slated for the position
of secreary of the treasury, and hoped
he would get it. To that Mr.. Hanna re-
piled that he did not desire a position in
the cabinet"

Associated Press Special Wire


WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Miss cara
Barton, president and the other officers
of the Red Cross society, have com
pleted their detailed reports of the Ar
menian relief expedition to Asia Minor
last winter The report made by MISS
Barton is quite exhaustive and covers
the work of the several expeditions sent
out from Constantinople. 1t shows that
the work had its inception in the reports
of the terrible sufferings endured by the
Armenians, gives an account of the sail
ing of the relief party, of delays in send
ing out the first expedition on account of
the adverse newspaper accounts con-
cerning the Turkish government, and
spaks of the various relief expeditions
Miss Barton returns thanks to the press
of the United States, to the contrib
utors to the relief fund and to the other
agencies for aid in carrying out the pur-
poses of the mission.
In conclusion she says: "Notwith-
standing all that has been done through
all agencies, infinitely more remains to
be done by some, for between the archi-
pelago and the Caspian seas the Black
and the Mediterranean are today living
a million and half of people of the Ar
menian race, existing under the or
dinance of at least semi and
processing the religion of Jesus Christ.
According to the stated estimates of
intelligent and impartial observers,
from 100, 900 to 100000 of these persons,
men, women and children, are destitute
of shelter raiment, fire, food, medicines,
the comforts that tend to make human
life preservable or any means of OBJ
tanning them, save through the charita-
BILE beneticence of the world.
The estimate concurs in the statement
that without such outside support at
least $4,000 of those persons will have
died of starvation or perished through
accumulated hardships. oespre the 1st of
May, 1897.
The report of George M. Pullman,
financial secretary, shows there was ex-
pended in the relief mission a total of
s116,326 of which $7526 was on account

WHEAT PRICES
A Project to Make Wheat More Stable
Than Gold

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The Post
this morning says: A conference of ma
tions on the subject of the world's wheat
market is understood to be desired by at
least one of the great foreign wheat
growing empires. 1t is stated in official
circles here that Russia is particularly
friendly to such an idea and is believed
to be making overtures, not only to the
United States, but to India, the Argen-
tine Republic and Australia, which are
the principal wheat growing nations of
the world.
The idea suggested, as outlined here,
is that these nations, should they see fit
to unite in an agreement on the subject
could fix price on wheat to be main
tanned uniformly throughout the sea-
sons of production and under
production, caused by drought or con-
tinual rain, and thus make the princi-
pal grain staple, upon which the mill
ions of consumers depend for food al
most as Interchangeable in value as gold
itself has become. This would enable the
producer, in the event of an unusually
large crop, to store his wheat and obtain
thereon loan that would tide him over
until the wheat was in demand in the
worlds market, when he would receive a
full and fair price for it.

SAILED FOR SPAIN
Bishop Mora Leaves New York for His
Old Home

The New York Journal of Monday
November 18TH says that Rt Rev. Fran
els Mora, last of the Spanish bishops of
California, sailed for Spain on Saturday
and will spend the balance of his days
in his native land The bishop, who is
now nearly 70 years of age, resigned as
chief pastor of the see of Monterey and
Los Angeles, embracing all of lower CAL
ifornia, some time ago, and was succeed
ed by his coadjutor, Rt. Rev. George
Montgomery, a native American. While
in New York the venerable prelate was
the guest of the Paulist fathers, at Fifty
ninth street and Columbus avenue
There were a number of clergymen at
the German Lloyd steamship docks at
Hoboken when the bishop sailed.
Bishop Mora went to California when
that country was still under the domin-
ion of SPAIN" said Father Hughes of the
Paulist church, "and his departure
marks the last of the Spanish bishops
who did so much for religion and hu-
manity on the Pacific coast. He was
born in a town called Vich, in Spain,
and now he returns there to die. Bishop
Amat was the first bishop of Los Ange-
les. He died in 1873, and Bishop Mora,
who was his coadjutor at the time, sue
ceeded him. He certainly witnessed
great changes in California. He passed
through all it's exciting history, and was
himself an epoch maker"

BLINDED BY MOLTEN METAL
A Macbinist PaiufuIIy Injured by an
Explosion
While Babbitting the Bearsings of an
Engine, the Stuff Explodes, Filling
His Eyes and Nose With Fire

A peculiar accident, which may be at
tended with serious consequences. oc-
Cured shortly before noon yesterday
in East Los Angeles. when Sanford
Jewell, a machinist, was almost blinded
by an explosion of Babbitt metal and
his companion, ]. S. Brown, was spat-
tered with the molten composition, but
only slightly injured.
Jewell and Brown reside at 376 Metcalf
street, and were engaged yesterday in
Babbitting the bearings of an engine
near the East Side park. Brown poured
the metal and had filled the box. Jewell
was leaning over looking at the cast,
when an explosion suddenly took place,
throwing the molten stuff in every direc-
ton. JEWELS face was plastered with
the fragments, which stuck to his skin
and hair, burning him in terrible man
ner
Brown was also despatched, but to a
slight degree. Jewell was completely
blinded and was hurriedly taken in d
buggy to a car, on which he was con-
veyed to the receiving hospital, escorted
by his friend. DR.. Bryant attended the
sufferer and found him seriously injured.
Both eyeballs were completely covered
with film of the metal, which, when
picked out, presented the appearance
of perfect mould of the eye about the
size of quarter.
The metal had also penetrated the
nostrils and solidified the cavities, max
| ing the task of extraction a painful and
| difficult one. When the casts over the
| eyeballs We're removed Jewell was de-
| lighted to find that he could see, and even
! the physician was surprised expecting
| to find that the sight had been destroyed
| if not the entire ball burned through.
| The metal must hae been so far cooled
| that the moisture of the eye bad been
sufficient to protect the ball from be-
| ing burned through and form hard film
instantly, which protected the eye from
| destruction.
| Besides the more serious injuries, Jew
| ellis hair, forehead and face were filled
with the stuff. He even spit up small
| pieces of metal, which had passed back
into the throat through the nostrils.
| Brown luckily escaped getting any into
his eyes, although his face was well be-
| spattered. After most of the metal had
been removed, JEWELS eyes Were
| bandaged and he was taken home by
his friend, where he will be confined
for some weeks There is danger that
the resultant Inflammation may destroy
his sight. but this, it is thought, can be
prevented by proper treatment.

Still Threaten to Disrupt the Canadian
Federation.

MONTREAL. Nov. 22.-The terms of
settlement of the Manitoba school ques-
tion. as agreed upon by the Dominion
nd Manitoba governments are far from
ling satisfaction to the Catholics of
Quebec. Archbishop Langevin of Mani
toba has sounded the keynote of discord
in an interview published here and the
French papers of this province have talk
en- 1t up. Archbishop Langevin is report
ed as saying: Certainly the settlement
is. not satisfactory, and what is more it
will be far from satisfactory in Quebec"
He laid special stress upon Quebec. At
this juncture the archbishop paused a
moment and shook his head Continu
ing he said: How we have been sold.
How Quebec has been betrayed. Too
bad. too bad! But tell you there will be
a revolution in Quebec which will ring
throughout Canada, and these men who
are triumphant today will be cast
down"
La Verite says: 1.-The duty of this mo-
ment appears to US to be very clear. We
must support our brothers with all our
strength, for if we allow the Catholics of
the little province of the west to be
crushed we shall have our turn later
on"

he was in full ownership of all his prop
erty when he died. Arbuckle also
carried large insurance on his life.

THE LONDON MARKET.
Stocks Rather Dull-Gold Exports Are
Expected to Cease.

LONDON, Nov. 22-There is consid-
cred to be less probability this week of
the renewal of the drain of gold to the
United States. The Russian demand for
gold continues keen Bill brokers are
acting cautiously in the face of an un-
certain situation. Money rates have
been fairly firm. The troubles in the
mining market have restricted stock ex-
change business, and prices have been

Spanish loan, the peace between Italy
and Abyssinia, and the talk of a new

the worst is past, and prices appear 10
be recovering. Other departments Wera
dull, with downward tendency.
In the American market there was dis
appointment in the absence of improved
traffic returns. Hence prices were low
er. The market for American industrial
securities has been very much slower to
respond to the rise in speculative stocks,
which followed upon Mckinley's cleo
ton. The recent issue by the London
Scottish American trust of 81, 100000 of
the first mortgage per cent 30year gold
was only partial success, not more than
half the issue being taken. The sub
