Mr.. Preston, the director of the
United States mint, estimates this
years. output of gold at $240, 900, 900,
which is an increase over last year of
thirty-fi million dollars. The in
crease in this country is seven mill
ions, in Australia six millions, in South
Africa twelve millions, and in Cana
da, including the Klondike regions,
seven millions. Mr.. Preston believes
that the increase will continue until
the output reaches three hundred
million per year, and it certainly looks
as if this was true.

THE BOSTON SUBWAY.

Part of the subway, Boston's new
underground thoroughfare for street
cars, was opened last Wednesday.
The sections to be operated at pres
ent are those under the common and
the public garden, about three
quarters of mile in length. The
other sections are not complete and
will probably be opened next spring.
The subway was begun in March,
1894. The total length of the line is
one and onehalf miles and when
completed there will be about five
miles of track. The estimated cost
of the undertaking is five million and
half, although seven millions were
appropriated by the city of Boston,
which has leased the subway to the
West nd Estreet railway for a term of
twenty years.
The construction Of the subway is
the outcome of years of agitation to
relieve the traffic on that part Of Tre-
mont street next the Common and
other congestod parts of the old Sec
ton of the city, where the narrow
thoroughfares become easily obstruct-
ed and are practically impossible at
times. The route opened is expected
to greatly relieve street traffic, as
more than 100000 passengers are
carried yearly by street cars on that
part of fremont street.
The subway is IA feet high, 24 feet
wide where two tracks are laid, and
48 feet wide where there are four
tracks. There are five underground
stations at present and more will be
added as the work progresses on the
completed sections.
The disastrous explosion of gas
March 4th last occurred at the angle
of the sections opened on the corner
of fremont and Boylston streets. Ten
people were killed and many injured.
Four workmen have also been killed
during the construction.

and gave vivid description of some
of the hotly contested battles of the
war, with enough of the humorous to
keep the boys cheerful and ready
for laugh at any moment. Governor
Josiah Grout, who fought through the
war with the regiment that was in
more engagements than any other
Vermont regiment-the cavalry
honored the association with his
presence, and as he stepped forward
at the close of Mr.. Haynes address,
was cordially greeted. AS the hands
on the dial already pointed at
O'Clock, his remarks were more brief
than many would like to have had
them, but they were to the point and
spoken with the earnestness charac-
teristic of the man. Altogether the
occasion was a success and the day
considered as well spent. The Iras-
burgh people did all that could be ex-
pected of them; the president was
the right man in the right place; the
music and recitations were first
class and the speaking better than is
usual at these gatherings. The only
draw back to the occasion was the
strong breeze from the west which
kept up continual rustling of leaves
and rattling Of tree limbs SO that many
could not hear what was said.

of the association, presided, and
called the meeting to order at IL.
Rev. P. N. Granger offered prayer,
and Rev. L. Dodd delivered the ad
sence of Geo. FL. Blake, was respond
ed to by Mr.. Wheeler. A. D. Math-
eWs gave brief account Of some of
the features of the national encamp-
ment at Buffalo; Percy Templeton
gave a reading, "How he saved st.

ed A. D. Mathews, E. I'll. Webster and
J. G.. Gorham a committee to select
officers for the year ensuing, after
which the meeting adjourned for the
picnic part Of the program.
At O'Clock the meeting was again
called to order and after the reading

Spain has called for eighty thou
sand more troops. 1t is claimed that
thirteen thousand of these are to be
sent to the Philippine Islands, and if
this is true, it does not look as if the
war there was over with as has been
claimed by Spain for some time. The
remainder of the troops will be sent
to Cuba to help to swell Weyler's
army. Spain may find that it will be
hard for her to raise that number of
troops and even if she can get them
into the field it is doubtful if she can
pay them for their services, and the
Spanish troops are inclined to fight
for money rather than from love of
their country.

The crops in Europe are very small
this year which will make great de-
mand for the harvests in this coun-
try. R. H. Edmunds, editor of the
Manafdcturers' Record, states that a
careful investigation will show that
at prices now ruling the advance in
farm products and live stock means
that the farmers in this country will
get at least $500, 900, 900 more for their
crops this year than they received for
those of '96. Europe is also short on
cotton and the demand for this will
help the people of the South by Civ
ing them better price for their prod
uct.

RISE OF THE MISSISSIPPI
In Some Places Along the Levees the
Situation is Becoming Extremely
Critical

QUINCY, ILL. March 27.-The flood
situation here is extremely alarming.
The Mississippi River continues to rise,
and, to add to the seriousness of the case,
the Government bureau predicts that
there will be more OF rise tomorrow.
and no one doubts that the prediction
will be fulfilled.
People living in the unprotected low
lands have been driven out. They had
ample warning, however. and removed
their stock and household goods to safe
ground before the water reached them.
The river at this point is now about
seven miles wide, completely covering the
lowlands on the Missouri side.
In the lower districts thsre is much stir.
A large force OF men is working heroicaIly
to strengthen the weak places of the
levees, but 1t is feared that the work will
be for naught, as the river promises to go
over the levee tomorrow.
ST. PAUL, MINI, March 27.-The
Mississippi River at St. Paul lacks but
four-tenths of a foot of the danger point,
ten feet, tonight. The ice went out at
4:30 this afternoon. The indications to-
night are that the river will leave its banks
in the next four hours.
A further rise of about four feet is ex-
pected here. which will drive about 1000
people from their homes on the West Side
and Bohemian Flats. Water is running
into the easements of several manufacture
ing establishments and stopping the ma
cninery. 1t has been thawing heavily,
and the prospects are for another big thaw

PLANS F0R PEACE IN CUBA.
Meanwhile Fafbusters Are Landing Boat
loads of War Material for the
insurqents.

LONDON, ENG. March 27.-A dispatch
to the Central News from Madrid saws tha t
negotiations for the conclusion of peace
are in progress between the Government
of Spain and the Cuban insurgent leaders,
with favorable prospects.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 27.-The
filibustering steamer Laurada arrived at
the Delaware Breakwater this evening,
after having, it is said, landed the most
important expedition sent from this
country to Cuba.
1t was shortly after dark when she
slipped past the United States revenue
cutter Hamilton, and Immediately disap-
peared in the darkness up the bay. The
Hamilton had been watching at the
breakwater for the steamer for some time,
and shortly after the Laurada had passed
in she got under way, but it was i'm posi-.
BILE to tell in the darkness which course
she took.
Although making no signals, the Lau-
rada came near enough to the observation
station at the breakwater to be identified.
She had been off the cape all day, but was
evidently afraid of the Hamilton, and
waited until darkness enabled her to slip
by unobserved.
The Laurada left Baltimore on February
q for Philadelphia, and when near Cape
Henry four boats were taken on board to
be used in landing the war material.
Three days afterward she met the
schooner Denna T. Briggs of Stonington,
The San Francisco call., 1897-03-28

Conn. and the steam lighter Jennie 81,
from New York. loaded with war ma
terial, which was transferred to the
Laurada twelve miles off Barnegat. The
vessels PROV was then turned toward the
West Indies.
The expedition was in charge of General
Roloff, the insurgent Minister of War.
There were forty others on the Laurada
when she left, and in her hold were slowed
1000 rifles, 100000 rounds of ammunition.
70 tons OF stick dynamite and large sup
ply of food and medicine.
The expedition was fitted out by the
Cuban Junta for General Garcia and
landed in the province of Santiago de
Cuba, where a large force had been sent to
meet and convey the supplies TO the head
quarters OF the army in the interior.
Among those on board the Laurada is
Mrs. Hughes, the wife of the commander.
Two detectives are also said to be on
board, having been sent from New York,
and VINO are said 10 have kept daily log
of the vessels movements. They are said
to have gone in the guise of fremen.

TORTURED BY TWO ROBBERS.
David Jones. an Aged Farmer of Ne
brcskn, Dies From the Effects of
TerrJbIe CrueIies

Terrible CFueiiies.
BEATRICE, NEBR., March 27.-David
Jones, an aged farmer who lived near
Wymore, died to-day from injuries in
ficted one week ago by robbers. Jones
was II years old, bachelor and lived
alone. He was quite wealthy and was
popularly supposed to keep large sums of
money about his place. About s o'clock
one night. as he was preparing to retire,
two masked men entered his hodse.
One knocked him down with blow on
the head. When he had partly regained
consciousness he was made to show where
he kept his money. He took them up
stairs and showed them 81, declaring it
was all he had. They then tied him to a
bed, wrapped his feet in cloths, and. after
saturating them with coal oil, set them on
fire. He still protested, and bundle of
clothes was laid on his bare stomach and
set on fire. Failing in their purpose, more
of the oiled clothes were placed on the
back of his neck and burned. The men
then left.
About daylight Jones managed to get
free. crawled to the barn, got horse and
rode to his sisters, half-mile distant,
where ne fell from the animal unconscious.
He was only able to give slight des-
cription OF his assailants. An inquest was
held this afternoon, which has resulted in
a clew. which is hoped will lead to the
arrest of the guilty parties in which event
the now thoroughly aroused community
declare there will be lynching. There is
a strong public demand for the county TO
offer large reward for the apprehension
of the murderers.

Democrats WaMt Prote ction.

WASHINGTON. D. G., March 27.-It
was stated on the floor of the House that
there will be some Demo mocratic votes cast
for the tariff bill when it comes up for
passage Wednesday next. Among those
reported to be in its favor are three of the
Louisiana deleg alton and one Texas mem.
ber (Slayden of the San Antonio districtJ.
Explaining his position Mr.. Slayden said
to-day: 1.-The tariff is business matter.
l can see no good reason why the people
of my district should not share in its ad-
vantages. They were greatly outraged
by the tree raw-material policy of the
Cleveland administration, which they con-
sidered legislation in favor of the manu-
facturers and against the producers. In
1894 the Assessors in Texas collected taxes
upon 4,69l, COS sheep, in 1895 upon 2,140,-
$780,
IF this continues we shall soon be COM
PEELED to buy all our wooden clothes
abroad, and in the event of war our condi-
tion might become really deplorabe.
plainly promised the people of my dis.
lrict that if they elected me 1 would vote
for free silver and against free wool and
hides. and l shall cast both votes when
the opportunity presents ITSELF
