of Controlling Cigarette Trade.

New York, June 19.-In the case of
terday an attempt on the part of the
prosecution to bring out evidence as to
the methods of the trust prior to 1880

objection was sustained The witness,
Mr.. Allen, testified that Mr.. Duke, pre-
viOus to the formation of the comhina-
ton, told him it cost his firm $50S, 900
for advertising in 1888. Cinter told
him it cost his firm $3.50, 600 for the
same year. There was some talk as
to the remedy for competition.
Upon cross examination the witness
said that the consolidation was formed
for the purpose of economy in the

BIG GOLD MINING PROJECT.
Ex-senator Dorsey Floats His Prop
erty on the London Market.

Yuma Arfz June 19.-After TWO
years effort and three trips to London,
ex-senator stephen w. Dorsey las sue
ceeded IN floating his PicachO gold min
ing property on the London market.
This property which is located about
about FIVE miles south of the Colorado
river. in the Picacho basin, is prob
ably the biggest project of the kind in
the United States 1t consists of thirty
full claims, lying almost in a parallelO-
gram, and is about one mile long by
three quarters wide. A number of
parallel lodges pass through all the
claims, the veins being from 20 to 500
feet in width
When Senator Dorsey took hold of
the claims no work had been done on
any of them except the four patented
claims known as the old Neahr mines.
were developed to a depth of 200 to
24O feet. These four mines belonged to
DR.. Jayne and We're purchased from
him by Senator Dorsey for $3.50 900. The
other 26 claims were purchased by the
senator from the different owners at
various prices, bringing the total cost
to something over $780, 600. He then
proceeded to develop the whole group
and secure a patent on them, after
which he went to London to secure the
capital to erect a 100-stamp mill and
build a narrow gauge railroad to the
mines from the river. In this he has
now succeeded and the company will at
once commence work. It is understood
that while the company only intends to
put in a 1O0-stamp at the start it's in
tentiOn is to increase them as fast as
possible up to 400 stamps.

OUR CUBAN TRADE.
It Has Declined From $1OO,OOO,ooO
Year to Almost Nothing.

Washington, June ia significant
report on our trade with Cuba from
1887 to 1927, prepared by Chief Hitch
cock of the foreign markets section of
the agricultural department has been
promulgated by Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson. The statistics show very
clearly the effect of the present hostiIi-
ties in Cuba upon the commercial in
tercourse Of the United States with
that island.
During the last fiscal year. 1896, the
total value of our Cuban trade amount
ed to only SAT, ,54s, $40, as compared with
s102, S64 ,204 in 1898. the year preceding
the breaking out of the war. This was
a falling off of more than so per cent
in three years. Returns already avail
able for the current fiscal year indicate
a still further decline, the records for
the nine months ending March 81. 1897
placing the total value of the trade for
that period as low as S14.926, ,S17. At
this rate the figures for the fiscal year
Will hardly reach $40, 900, 000, or less than
one-ffth the value recorded for 1898.
The report also demonstrates that in
past years our imports from Cuba have
been much in excess of our exports to
that island. the balance of trade be
ing decidedly against the United States

AGAINST CIVIL SERVICE.
plication to the Government

Washington, June 19.-The sem

washington, June 19-The senate civ
il service committee resumed its hear
hgS today. A letter was read from
William B. Prescott, president of the
International Typographical union in
which he stated that the Typogra phicaI
union was not friendly to the applica-
ton of the civil service rules to the gov
ernment printing office as had been rep
resented.
1.-The union" he said, latter over a
years experience under civil service
rules is not of the opinion that the peo-
Pies interest are being subserved by
their application to the government
printing office. Therefore it will exer-
else its influence to secure their abrO-
cation and have the Office placed upon
the same basis as the most successful
private offices. Briefly the union is of
the opinion better results would be at
tanned by making fOremen responsible
for the quality and quantity of the out
put of their respective departments, in
VeSting them with authority, to employ
help at will and to discharge employees
to decrease the force, for incOmpetency,
neglect of duty, violation of office rules,
etc"
A joint letter was read from three of
the auditors of the treasury depart
ment, viz: Messrs. YoungbloOd, Timme
and Andrews, urging an amendment to
the law permitting auditors to select
their own private secretaries.
Henry a. Castle. auditor of the treas
ury of the pOstof1ce department, ap-
peared in person. Mr.. Castle had been
postmaster at St. Paul under the Cleve-
land administration, although he was
an active Republican. He testified that
the law had been faithfully observed
with one exception. Mr.. Castle thought
there was great injustice in promotions
and reductions in the executive depart
ments at Washington. He said he knew
al least $50 cases in his own bureau
where Republicans had been reduced, or
dismissed and Democrats put in their
places. He had found that in Washing
ton the clerks rely more upon political
influence to secure promotion than upon
their efficiency.
