At the opening of the new Com
mercial Museum in Philadelphia,
where are exhibited the latest and
best specimens of every class of
manufacture in the United States,
President Mckinley made the fol
lowing allusion to the new tariff
and the benefits to be derived from
it, after its completion, urging that
it was not wise to decry a measure
which was in process of construct
ion, as is the new tariff: "But let
me tell you, my countrymen, that
resuscitation will not be promoted
by recrimination. The distrust of
the present will not be removed by
a distrust of the future. A patriot
makes a better citizen than pessi-
mist, and we have got to be patient,
for much as we may want to move
out of the old house, we cannot do
it until the new one is finished. A
tariff law half made is of no prac-
teal use except to indicate that in
a little while whole tariff law will
be done, and it is making progress.
It is reaching the end, and when
the end comes we will have bust
ness confidence and industrial ac-
tiivity. Let us keep stout hearts
and steady heads, for the country
is not going backward, but for
ward. American energy has not
been destroyed by the storms of the

Sir Edmund Monsoon, at the annual
banquet of the British Chamber of
Commerce, held recently in Paris, said,
in reviewing the achievements Of the
Queens reign: British trade with
foreign countries has multiplied in

more than 27,000,000; while our share

A few days since, reference was
made in these columns, to an arte-
sian we'll boring In Florida to the
depth of 1000 feet. y clipping
from an exchange refers to a well
boring near Pittsburg, which has
reached a much greater depth. The
operations are under the direction
of Prof. Hallock of Columbia Col
lege, and the object is to ascertain
the variations of temperature at
the different levels. At the latest
report it had reached a depth of
5,552 feet. At first, it was intend
ed to bore to a depth of 10000 feet
and then suspend operations. This
plan has been changed, and it has
now been decided to fix no limit to
it, but to bore until it is impossible
to proceed any further, for it is be-
lieved that at some stage the power
of the machinery to operate will be
exhausted. No one ventures an
opinion as to when that point will
be reached, and there is no certain
ty that it will ever be reached. But
the difficulty of operating Is aug
IL f,o,,o tho
surface increase, and that fact
strengthens the impression that
there must be an end to this, as
there is to all other things. The
deepest well in the world at present
is near Leipsic, Saxony, where salt
is brought to the surface from a
depth of $40 feet, at which point
the temperature is said to be 1853
degrees Fahrenheit. The temper
allure of the Pittsburg well at a
depth of $500 feet showed 12S de-
grees of heat. At that rate of in
crease the boiling point de-
grees-would be reached at the
depth of two miles. 1t is not i'm
probable, however, that as great
er depth is reached the rise in tenn
perature will be more rapid. All
sorts of hopes are entertained III
connection with this experiment.
For example, Prof. Hallock be
lieves that the heat found in the in
terror of the earth may be utilized
for power, light and other pur-
poses. He reasons that when the
depth is reached at which water
boils, steam may be made either by
turning In water from the surface,
or utilizing subterranean streams
that may be discovered during the
progress of drilling. If that ex-
pectation is fulfilled the value of
the enterprise will become inesti-
mable. 1t would be scarcely safe
to dismiss the scheme as impracti-
cable and to look upon it as wild
goose chase, for this is an age IN
which everything appears reason
able and attainable through the aid
of science.

The notion that once prevailed
that if John" lacked the posses
sion of the intelligence considered
necessary for successfully conduct
ing a business enterprise, he could
either 90 into the ministry or teach
school, has happily been almost
entirely dispelled. Not long since
a case was reported of a teacher in
a country district who made a cross
for her signature on the payroll.
Such instances are extremely rare.
1t has been demonstrated that a

general and specific, that our insti-
buttons of learning can offer, but
in addition must possess a pecu-

in the Summer School, now being

informing themselves on every
mental or physical condition which
arises in the school-room. The
teachers will return to their work

Want De LONE Recalled.

New York, Dec. 13.-The Spanish
colony in this city has been divided by
a petition sent to Madrid at the time
of the assassination of Premier Canovas,
asking for the appointment OF a strong
successor to Senior de LONE. According
to the World the petition was drawn 50
as to attack Senior de LONE without
mentioning his name, and among the
40 prominent Spaniards who signed it
were several friends of the minister
who did not see any attack upon him
in the apparently harmless recon-
mendaton. The result is a bitterness
among the factions almost as strong az
their hatred OF the Cubans. The petit.
ton says:
"For Spain to succeed in her rela.
tions with the United States she must
have in Washington a representative OF
ability and firmness, whose heart will
beat with the pulsatlons of our mother
country, and with 2 head balanced to
base all his diplomatic relations on an
indisputable right, and not allow the
right to be curtailed in the least by un.
founded demands or unjust pretensions
from the opposing party"

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
[Otiice of Downing, Hopkins 4 Co., Chicago
Board Of Trade Brokers, 71l-7l4 Chamber of Com
mcrce Building, Portland, Oregon.

Board OF Trade Brokers. 7il-7l4 Chamber OF Com
merce Building Portland, Oregon.l
Light speculation was the dominating
factor in the wheat market last week.
Its force was felt more keenly than at
any time since prices left Ga cents five
months ago. The bear element is
working on the idea that all the bullish
influences have been discounted by the
advance in prices of 36 cents from the
low point in the spring. Wheat that
cleared last week was all bought a
month or more ago, and prices were adj
vanced at the time. Now that the
stuff is moving out, the bulls think
that prices should continue to go up,
because the stuff is being delivered to
the buyers. The latter are not taking
hold as freely, but export sales during
the week were heavy. For three
months the market has backed and
filled around 80 cents for May, getting
cents above it recently, and has been
2 cents below it. The bears have been
unable to maintain II break for more
than day or two below 80 cents. De-
cember sold Az cents to II cents
premium over May. The position Of
the bulls and their intention are as
much of puzzle as ever. They stand
ready to pay for 5000, 900 bushels Of
wheat, and are very liable to get it be-
fore the first of the year. Elevator
people, however, are not disposed to
uIake any deliveries until navigation is
closed, as they want to keep the wheat
in their houses. The Letter party have
from 100000 to 10000 bushels
bought. There are also scattered lines
that will reach above 1000, 900 bushels
held by parties outside of the pool.
The claim is made that there is no
shortage, except on the part of the ele-
vator people. The latter have been
bringing wheat down from Duluth. 1t
is deal that no one except rich men
can afford to be in. The bulls claim
that the wheat brought down from the
Northwest by the elevator people has
not shown any profit. If such is the
case, it seems rather strange that two
such shrewd business men as Armour
and Weare should be so actively engaged
in it. Government report gives crop of
winter and spring wheat at $50, 600, 900
bushels. Visible supply of wheat de-
creased 1Ol 900 bushels, and now totals
"a, 744 bushels.
