THE LAND OF THE sAMovAR.
Every Russian Family, However
Poor, Has 'Tea Machine"

Poor, Has a "Tea Machine"
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Samara, Russia.-The Russian coat of
arms ought to be a samovar rampant! IN
all Russia there is nothing so thoroughly
Russian nothing so universally prevalent
and useful as the samovar. Outside of
Russia, l have never seen but one samo-
var in use; but in Russia there is probably
not a single family in the land that does
not own and use one. The Germans
translate the word samovar into a very
expressive term. They call ii a tea ma
chine" and that tells the whole story. A
samovar is a tea machine. 1t is a urn
with handle on each side and a spigot
at the bottom I'm front. In this burns a
charcoal fire and the water in the tank
surrounding it boils very quickly. A
small teapot containing the tea leaves is
filled with boiling water from the spigot,
then set on top of the samovar just over
the charcoal fire TO draw" And this is
the simple process of making Russian
tea.
The Russians say their tea Is the best
tea in the world outside of China and
am sure that no one who has ever visited
Russia and drunk their tea will dispute
this statement. They say the fact that
1t is brought overland by caravan and
never suffers the injury of a sea voyage
is one reason of IT'S perfection. The
other reason is the samovar. l wonder
why all other nations have left Russia
alone In the enjoyment of this blessing.
The samovar. II seems TO me, Is an in
vention worthy to be put beside the lever
and Archimedes' screw. To be sure. IL

FIOrida's Orange Crop.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrt

from tne 81. Louis GlODe-DemOcrat.
Recent reports from the orange-produc-
ing sections in Florida state that fifty
per cent. of the groves Is under systematic
restoration, 20 per cent. is receiving some
care. and only 80 per cent. Is abandoned
The crop of 1896 is about $4,000 boxes, and
the estimate of that OF 1897 Is 10000 boxes
But the price obtained by growers has
more than doubled. In a general way the
people of Florida have decided that raising
oranges shall continue 20 be one OF their
important industries, but not a main reli-
ance The risk of occasional freezes must
be reckoned with as unavoidable, and the
danger reduced TO a minimum Italy's or
ange groves have been frozen to the
ground seven times In the last century. and
some OF the finest on the northern shore
OF the Mediterranean sprang from the
roots OF trees killed In a hard freeze of 1890
IL is said that foot Of the trunk of All
orange trees can always be protected In
winter by banking IL with sand Florida
has not given up oranges. but intends to
diversity occupations In the long run
the freeze may prove a blessing In dis
guise, though the discipline was extremely
severe. The state has learned 10 broaden
its opportunities for labor and TO face diff
nculties with courage and a firm faith in
hnal success.

NO HOPE FOR HANNA.
Bushnell Will Not Appoint Him
Senator

New York, Feb. "a Sun special
from Columbus, o., says:
Governor Bushnell said point blank
yesterday that he would not appoint
Mr.. Hanna to succeed Mr.. Sherman in

The word slipped out quickly. With
the same breath the governor de-
clared: NO, 1 have nothing more to
say about the political situation
This was said by way of covering
his emphatic negative, but there was
no mistaking the emphasis that laid
stress upon his first word NO. which
was slip of the tongue and expressed
his true feelings. Immediately after
ward he walked to the door of his Of
flee and declared the interview at an
end.
The latest rumor in the capital has
it that Bushnell himself wants the
office, and will resign to be appointed
Sherman's successor by Lieutenant
Governor Jones.

WOMEN WANT PEACE.
DECLARE FOR THE TREATY
WITH ENGLAND.
Urge Meetings and Demonstrations
and All That Sort of Thing
Want Wars of Words and Not
Battles of Bullets.

New York, Feb. 9.-The following cir
public today:
To the Women of the United States
We ask your earnest and prompt CO.
operation in urging upon the senate of
the United States that after full con-
sideration it should ratify the arbitra-
ton treaty between this country and
Great Britain and without amendments
which will cripple its efficiency. The
mothers, the wives and the homes of
our land have the deepest interest in
the substitution OF law for war. In
times of conflict they are the keenest
sufferers, and while the nations honor
is dear TO them, whatever tends to
settle disputes by reason and law rather
than by warfare demands their heart
lest endorsement.
1t is absolutely necessary that the
universal public opinion of the country
in favor of this treaty should find ex-
preston. Therefore, we ask you with
out delay to write personally to your
senators, to hold meetings, to send pc
titions and to aid by all means in
your power the completion of this great
act of Christian civilization.

M'KINLEY CONFIRMS II.
SAYS LONG WILL Pc SECRE.
TARY OF THE NAVY.
President-Ele Listens to Plans
For the Inaugural Ball and Cere-
monies-Cosmopolitan Callers at
Canton Yesterday.

Canton, O., Feb 9.-The statement
been definitely fixed upon for secre-
tary of the navy as confirmed by Ma
jor Mckinley himself this afternoon.
There will be no departure from this
assignment of the navy portfolio, IN
less the entire cabinet slate should be
re-arranged at the last moment. EX-
Governor SaXtOn of New York called
on Major Mckinley this afternoon. He
said: Il have come to Canton in the
interest of a friend and do not care
to state the precise purpose of my
errand. 1 will say this much, how
ever: That it has nothing to do with
the selection of a New York member
of the cabinet. 1 am not an aspirant
for appointment to the cabinet and l
think the most acceptable New York
Republican for that position and honor
is General Stewart l.. Woodford of
Brooklyn, but fear New York may
be left out altogether"
Major Mckinley listened to an
ample and detailed discussion of the
plans for the inaugural ball and cere-
monies today. c. J. Bell of Washing
ton, chairman of the inaugural COM
mittee, told him all about the ar
rangements for the ball. This evening
General Horace Porter came down
from Cleveland and explained the
plans for the big parade. General
Porter is to be grand marshal. He
spent the night in Canton. 1t is un-
derstood that his visit has no relation
whatsoever to the New York political
situation, and that he is no longer un-
der consideration for the cabinet Mr..
Bell expressed the fear that the fail
ure of the railway companies to fur
nish low rates for organizations might
reduce the crowd somewhat, but from
the accommodations already engaged
it is known that Washington Will be
thronged.
Among Major McKinley's visitors to-
day were ex-Fourth Assistant Post

Hamilton, O.; Lieutenant Durbin of
Denver, ex-Mayor William V Eustis

THEY'RE AFTER HIM.
Indian Scouts on the Trail of the
Train Robber

Kingman, Ariz., Feb. 9.-The posse
which left here last night in pursuit
of the robbers who held uD the Santa
Fe train near Nelson returned to this
city this morning in order to secure a
fresh supply of horses. The posse was
reinforced here and left again for the
scene of the hold-up at IL o'clock. At
Nelson, Indian scouts have taken up
the trail of one of the bandits and are
hopeful of soon capturing him. The
trail is clear and easily followed, as the
man is riding enc horse and leading
another. He has started northward
from the railroad towards Grand
canyon, point situated about 80 miles
north of Kingman. The body of the
rObber who was killed during the hold
up is still at Peach Springs and as yet
unidentified. The deceased was
young man of slender build about six
feet in height and of light complexion
From his dress he was evidently a
cowboy. There is nothing found on his
person that would lead to his identifi-
cation. 1t is thought, however, that he
was one of the gang of cattle thieves
who had been operating in the north
ern part of this territory. The inquest
on the remains will probably be held

creasing.
New York, Feb. 9.-The interest in
the much discussed costume ball to be
given at the Waldorf tomorrow night
by Mrs. Bradley Martin is by no means
confined to New York City. Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin are daily in receipt of let
ters from fashionable people in various
cities begging for invitations. Mrs.
Martin has been generous with her
cards, and as many as 600 or 700 people
who have received them are expected
to respond IN person.
Every DrecauJion mas been taken by
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin to prevent the ap-
pearance of any undesirable person at
the ball, and their guests are certain to
be well protected, once they enter the
Waldorf. Detectives will be stationed
at the entrance door, where the invi-
tations will be taken up. Consequently
at this point it will be impossible for
any Objectionable person to gain ad-
mittance. Inside OF the hotel police
officers and detectives viii be stationed
in nearly every corner. so that the
guests may feel thoroughly at ease
and free from any disturbance.
The streets about the hotel viii be
patrolled by police officers and detec-
tives and all suspicious persons will be
ordered away from the neighborhood.
The costume dinners which will pre-
cede the Martin ball will be numerous.

afternoon disposed OF a number of
comparatively unimportant measures

empting those paying property taxes
was next stricken out and then the bill
was Indefinitely postponed.
The house passed bill which makes
all citizens eligible to the legal pro-
fession. Heretofore people of color
have been excluded from the privilege
OF becoming lawyers. This bill was
drafted for the purpose of admitting
women, and advantage was taken of
the opportunity to wipe out the color
line at the same time.

opinion today, which was the first of

This opinion is in a case brought under

The court recommended the legislature
to make an appropriation of some 81, 900

ARMoR PLATE QUESTION.
Will Doubtless Be Disposed of in a
Few DaYS

Low Lays
Washington, Feb. 9.-The armor
plate question. which has been troub-
ling the senate committee on naval-af-
fairs for many weeks will probably be
disposed OF within a few days. The
committee this morning agreed that
the maximum price to be paid for
armor plate should not exceed the sum
named By the secretary OF the navy,
$500.
Mr.. Chandler. in his report, found
that armor ought to be furnished with
fair profit to the manufacturers at
$500 a ton, but the committee think
ing that it was too low, will report in
favor ot 4 scale between these two
figures, leaving the maximum as found
by the ROberer board, which was COM
posed of naval experts in armor and
its processes Of manufacture. The sec
retary will also be authorized, if the
recommendations of the committee are
carried out, to secure a plant for the
manufacture of armor by the govern
ment in the event that he cannot make
satisfactory contracts with the Carne-
gle or Bethlehem people. For this pur-
pose $1,500, 900 will be asked. the COM
mittee and the secretary believing that

POWDER WAR ENDED.
Immense Profits Which Have Es-
caped in Five Years.

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-The powder
war, which has been waging on this
coast for nearly five years. is over.
During that time the contending COM
panies, it is estimated, have let between
s1,000,00O and $1,50O,OOO in profits slip
from them, and the holders of stock
have gone without dividends. For sew
eral months, however, negotiations
have been in progress resulting yester-
day in the adjustment of all difficulties
and the attorneys of the three COM
panieS interested were instructed to
draw up the final papers for signature.
Upon the general proposition of an
agreement as to the prices of dynamite,
the Judson, California and Giant COM
panies have been in accord. They
manufacture over 100000 pounds
of high explosives annually A
general advance on these prod
ucts of about two cents pound
is anticipated. This, it is judged,
viii not be sufficient to invite outside
competition, while it will enable the
to divide between $780,
600 and 100000 yearly between them.
