BANQUET BURNED OUT.
Elaborate Decorations for a Grant
Dinner Ruined.

Dinner Ruined.
PITrSBURG, April 29-The eleventh an
nual banquet of the Americacus club, in
honor of Gen. Grant, was held tonight in
spite OF the fire in the banquet hail. which
destroyed the decorations and threatened for
time to put stop to the ceremonies. The
club had made great preparations for the
event, and the decorations were out of the
ordinary in extent and design. Decorators
had been at work for several days and had
adorned the ceiling with four rows Of in
verted pyramids, constructed of red white
and blue bunting The pyramids, several
hundred In number, entirely covered the
ceiling, and the points of them extended to
within about eight feet of the floor. An
electric light was suspended from the tip
OF each, with smilax festooned from point
to point The general effect was very beauti-
ful. The windows were also artistically
draped and in the center Of the north wall
was q life-sized portrait OF the hero Of Ap-
pomattox
The club management wished to secure
photograph of the decorations, and in the
attempt to secure a fash-light picture an
explosion occurred, which was quickly fol-
lowed by flames that practically destroyed the
entire decoration of the hall Men were at
once put to work to remove the debris, and
the banquet was delayed only about an hour
the dismantled condition Of the room prov
ing but q slight detraction from the even
1ngs enjoyment. ---s"-

Queen Formally Signs the Order for
Them.
HAVANA, April 29.-News reached
here today from Madrid that the queen
regent has signed decree providing for
Immediately putting into operation the
scheme for reforms In Cuba already
agreed upon. A mail steamer was de-
tanned twenty-fOur hours at Cadiz in
order to carry the decree establishing
the work of reform which will begin in
the provinces Of Plnar De- Bio, Havana,
Matanzas and Santa Clara.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The an
nouncement from Madrid that the
queen regent has signed a decree apply
ing the reform laws to Cuba Is con-
sidered by officials here as a realization
of the plans under negotiati ton for many
months to give Cuba an autonomous
form OF government or home rule. The
home rule plan about to be applied was
made public in detail by Minister Du-
puy de LONE on Feb. last. A coun-
Gil Of administration is created for the
government Of the affairs Of the island.
This council will be in the nature Of a
parliament made up of thirty-one mem
bers, majority of them being elected
by the Cubans and a lesser number ap-
pointed by the throne. The council of
administration is given practically su-
preme control of the island, subject to
certain supervisory authority by the
home government. One Of the most
important features of the plan is that
allowing Cuba to revise her tariff
schedules.

The Parker Rotary stamn Mill.

Among the improvements in mining
machinery that have recently been
made. one of the most attractive is the
Parker rotary stamp, says the Denver
Republican. AS the name indicates. the
stamps have a rotary, grinding motion
UPON the ore in the mortar, which aids
materially in reducing the ore to pulp,
and thus increases the ordinary capaci-
ty of the mill. The mill is a battery of
four stamps in a quadrangular frame,
and the motion is impaired from a CEN
tr9l upright Shaft and cog wheel gear
ed into cog wheels on the stems of the
stamps. which give the grinding motion
on the ore. The cams which lift the
stamps are cast on the cog wheels of
stems of the stamps and are half the
circumference of these cog wheels. This
gives the stamps a rotary motion of
half their circumference every time the
stamps drop. It is claimed that the
best results in grinding are secured
With a speed of SO drops to the minute.
A special feature of the mill is the
feed ARRANGEMENT. The ore is carried
to a hopper above, from which it is fed
through spouts TO the moTtars. By an
ingenious continuance the valves in
these soouts are opened by a collar on
the stems of the stamps as the stamps
mortar gets too high the collar does
rot touch the spring connected with the
valve and eonseq uently 10 ore escapes
The results to naintai nan even feed
of ore just enough TO keep the ore in
good working condition The stamps
in the machine now in operation at
1884 Fifteenth street, weigh 1872 pounds
a smaller machine, With stamps weigh
ing. $50 pounds each, IS in operation in
the Breckenridge district and is OPP
Grated with a six horse power engine.
The capacity Of the smaller mill was
rated at ten tons in "a hours, but re-
ports from the mill are that it handles
nearly double that amount. The ca
pacity of the larger mill, which was
completed about two weeks ago. is
rated at Is tons per day of "a hours.
There is the least possible friction in
The action of the machine, owing to the
peculiar construction in the teeth of
the gearing. A sheet of paper was
passed through the gearing and came
out without being cut in single
place.
