EN- 5LISH HIGHLY PLEASED.
President Mckinley Gains Many I'M
pOrtant Points by Appointing
special Embassy to Queens
Jubilee.

New York, June 25.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: The favor
able impression produced in England by
President McKinley's action in appoint
ing a special EN- mbassy for the Queens
Jubilee is expressed by the distinction
with which the embassy has been re-
ceived at the court and in the highest
social circles. The fact is generally
recognized that America has departed
from the usual half. hearted methods in
her diplomatic intercourse with foreign
nations,ss and has taken her place with
dignity and distinction in the worlds
court of honor opened in London for the
purpose of congratulating the queen and
her empire on her long and prosperous
reign. Much good feeling has beer pro-
NOTED by this exceptional demo- ration
of American courtesy, and the Ray has
been opened for the adjustment of sew
eral questions vitally effeoting the United
States.
The ministry will undoubtedly consent
to send delegates to the new international
conference. These delegates, moreover,
will not be hide bound monometallists,
onvinced in advance that nothing can be
done for silver, but open-minded men,
ready to discuss the complex question in
all its bearings. The reopening of the
Indian mints is also probable. Senator
Wolcott and colleagues, in pressing their
argument here for fresh international
action, will have many influences In their
favor, and the one strongest will be the
good feeling produced by Americans
hearty participation in the Jubilee cele-
bratiou.

be broken. Their record was 10 minutes
and 80 seconds, for four miles.
Poughheepsie.-At $3.50 the condition
was of the best so far as surface water
was concerned, the tide, however, turned
to the food about 1880, and had still two

Crystal Springs, Miss, June 25.-John
Moses, (colored) who murdered old man
Strong near this place few day ago and
been confined in the local Jail with a
strong guard since yesterday, confessed to
the killing this morning and shortly after,
the guard was overpowered by two or
three hundred farmers. Moses was taken
from Jail and with rope around his
neck was dragged through the streets
and hanged. He was nearly dead when
they reached the place of hanging. Two
requests foe troops to protect the pris-
oner had been wired to Jackson, but
owing to the absence of both the govern
or and the lieutenant-governor from the
capitol, troops could not be moved until
this morning, when it was too late. The
mob gave colored preacher, who had
sworn that the murderer spent the day on
which Strong wes killed at his house and

HILLSBORO PROSPERITY.
81 100000 to he spent III Placer Min
ing-Revival at KinsstOn-Paying
Gold Properties.

T. Mr.. Frank W. Parker, the wideawake
and genial attorney of Hllsboro, spent
Monday in this city looking after legal
matters, and from him was learned
something of the work under headway in
the mines of Sierra county.
The Pittsburg, Pa, parties owning the
placer claims seven miles north of Hills
boro, will put large dam in the Animas
river about IA miles distant from the
placers, and by a system of pipe lines
carry tine storage water to the works.
Work on the dam and pipe line is to be-
gin at once. Since making the original
purchase in April, the placer people have
located au additional tract of placer
lands containing about 5000 acres, and
will do an immense amount of work on
the properly within the next few months
and will expend upwards Of Sl,000,000
in improvements and mining machinery.
The Standard group, consisting of the
Snake, Bobtail, Opportunity and three
other claims, owned by H. M. Porter of
Denver, is being operated by leasers un-
der the management of general fore
man, and is proving paying PROPOSE
tion.
The Sherman and Richmond mines are
also operated by leasers. The mines in
and around Hilsboro are gold producers,
and are rapidly developing into paying
producers.
At Kingston there is a revival in silver
mining and business of all kinds is grow
ing better in consequence. Old timers.
such as Charles Lyke, Captain Burns, and
Charles Depuy, who left the camp for
other fields of operation some years ago,
are returning and will resume work on
the old iron King, which has been idle for
years. The Brush Heap has force of 20
men at work, and good ore is being
placed on the dump. Other properties
are opening up, and all things considered,
Mr.. Parker feels that brighter days are
in store for the mines in Sierra county.
In regard to Hillsboro placer fields and
the water system connected eherewi.aa, the
records in the territorial secretary's Office
show that three companies, the Mesa Del
| Ora, the TERRA Del Ora and the Aqua
Del Ora, have been organized to carry on
the various interests involved. The
stockholders in all three companies, as
shown by the articles of incorporation,
are: Henry G. Fownes, William G.
Fownes, Hay Walker, ir., William Walker
and Thomas II. Given, all of Pennsyl-
vania.

OF THE WORD "coupLE."

Tommy was told that couple" was
singular, and, to make him remember
it, he had TO write, an essay about "a

corner, says Detroit Free Press,
was quiet half am hour, except
once, when he demanded the proper

and this is what he handed his mother
when it was all dome:
"a Couple.-There was couple that
went fishing. One-half of it was a man ;
the second half was woman. 1t went
in rowboat with pair of oars, which
was also a couple. So that there was a
couple of couples. The woman half OF
the first couple caught a couple of fish.
Then there was three couples. Said the
man part of the first couple:
"'We have caught enough fish,
"Then 1T sat down together, and il
put its arms around it and said:
"'Oh, my dontt!'
"But it didn't act as if it cared much
Just them the boat ran into a stump and
stopped. This couple was very singular
for awhile, but finally she said to it:
George, my dear, doesn't it think
