Elaborate tests of the draft Of wide

Elaborate tests of the draft Of wide
and narrow tired wagons have just
been completed by the Missouri Agri-
cultural College experiment station,
extending over period of year and
a half. These tests have been made
on macadam, gravel and dirt roads in
all conditions, and on the meadows
and plowed fields of the experiment
farm. Contrary to the public expec
tation, in nearly all cases draft was
materially lighter when tires six
inches wido were used than with tires
of standard width. The load hauled
was in all cases the same, and the
draft was most carefully determined
by means of a self-recording dyna-
mometer. The beneficial effect of the
wide tire on dirt roads is strikingly
shown in some recent tests at the sta
ton. In trial when a clay road was SO
badly cut into ruts as to be almost i'm
passable for light vehicles and pleas
ure wagons, after running the six inch
tires over this road twelve times,
the ruts were completely filled and

When the great work of building a
trans continental railway across the
country was undertaken back in the
sixties, the Government was asked and
consented to take the roads reaching
out from the Mississippi westward, sby
giving certain lands adjoining the
roads, and by taking bonds or guar
anteeing the payment Of the interest
on the bonds. The roads, except in
a small sum, up to this time have fail
ed to pay bonds when they matured
or interest long since due. Congress
has been pressing the matter, and or
dered a foreclosure on the road. The
time set for the sale of the Union Pa
cific was set for Nov. 1st. A sale was
made to a syndicate which enables
Government to get it's pay with inter-
est or rather to get the principal with
a good interest on the investment. It
has been tedious and difficult job to
get settlement, and the present ad
ministration is to be praised for it's
success in getting about $50, 900, 600 in
one of it's old debts. Another branch
of the road is in arrears and it is pro-
posed to make a foreclosure as soon
as it can be done.

An idea of the amount Of mining in
Butte may be gathered from the fact
that the combined depth Of the vari-
Gus mines in the camp is more than
fifty miles, while the underground
workings, including shafts, levels,
drifts, crosscuts, etc., make total of
over $50 miles. The deepest mines in
the camp are the Green Mountain and
the high ore mines of the Anaconda
Company, each of which has reached
a depth of 1900 feet. A dozen other
mines of the company and twenty
others on the camp, have depths of
1900 feet or more. With the excep-
ton of the Alice and Lexington, all
the deep mines are copper producers.
Up to 1881 copper was an almost I'M
heard-of thing in Butte, which was
then purely a silver camp. In 1882
the daily output OF Butte was 10000
tons each day, Of which the Anaconda
Company produces more than half.
The output Of copper in 1882 was g.
O58, 2S4 pounds. Last year it was 228,-
95S, 1874 pounds. This year the total
will reach 200, 1000, 900.

STILL WANTARBlTRATlON.

Sir Julian PauncefOte, the British
ambassador, who is just back from
London, probably will confer with
Secretary Sherman at an early day
concerning the reopening Of the ne
gotiations for an Anglo American
treaty of arbitration. There is said
to ae no disposition on either hand to
press the subject unduly, but rather
to allow it to develop along natural
lines and responsive to public sent1-
ment. Mr.. Sherman made known to
the British authorities some months
ago that the President would view
with favor re- opening Of the nego-
tiations and was hopeful that a peace
treaty would ultimately be secured.
The British officials were much graft
fed at this suggestion but no ne
gotiations were entered upon. Since
then Sir Julian has visited London
and has an opportunity to learn the
views of the foreign Office as we'll as
the state Of British feeling on the sub
ject.
All the tendencies on the other side
are favorable to arbitrat ton although
there is q general indisposition to take
up the the treaty question as long as
there is chance that it would meet
the same fate as the Pauncefote treaty.
AS result of that treaty, an arbitra-
ton league has been formed through
out England, it's aim being to bring
about peace compact between
that country and this. While Sir Jul
ian was in London he was called upon
by Mr.. Dreamer, the member of Par
lament who has been foremost in
arbitration and who visit
ed the United States on that mission.
Mr.. Dreamer is as hopeful as ever that
arbitration between the two countries
will be secured.

I,,lrr e


903 Broaiwa July Is
J. J. Collins died at the Receiving Hos
pitaI some time during the early morning
hours OF fright.
Last Friday evening Collins astonished
the police by appearing at the City Prison
and telling the officers that he wanted
protection from people who were destroy
ing his house. He said that men were
there with all kinds of electric wires and
that they were trying to kill him and
burn his house. AS it was very evident
that Collins was aboring from mental de-
lusion he was taken to the Receiving Hos
pital and placed in charge of Deputy
Keating, keeper of the insane.
Collins expressed great fear Saturday
noon that be would be killed by the roof
falling on him, and to pacify him he was
placed in another apartment. He was ex-
amined by Drs Blood and Fearn and they
decided that it was more case of de-
lirium tremens than of legitimate in
,anity, and they prescribed the usual
remedies and told the keepers that Collins
would probably be all right in couple of
days.
Collins Is big powerful laborer, and as
he was violent he needed some restraint.
Last night he kept up continual shout
ing and expressed fear of every thing in
the room. He was given medicine and at
midnight he calmed down and went to
sleep.
When he went to sleep" said Deputy
keating to-day, Il thoug ht the medicine
had done its work, and l went TO my room
adjoining. At 2 O'Clock | went into Col
Inns room and he was asleep. | did not
60 in again until $3.50 this morning, and l
at once saw that lie was dead. Steward
Tobin examined him and said he had
been dead two or three hours"
The doctors say that Collins must have
awoke in a delirium during the early
morn and have received severe fright
from some imaginary object. This fright
was so great as to cause death. They ex-
amined Collins day and could find no
other reason for his death, as he appeared
to be in good health.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 1.-THE bulls had
their innings Saturday, and the wheat
pit in the Board of Trade was a miniature
bedlam for time. A week ago new wheat
was held at 65sS cents, and this morning
it went up to 7l3s. For time it looked
as though it would reach IS cents. The
market closed at 69N. Harvests in the
new wheat country have been late this
year and the movement of grain has been
SLOW.
Last year at this time 200 TO $50 cars of
new wheat were coming into the city
daily. Three to five cars have been the
average this week. The wheat is OF fine
quality and farmers are holding for better
prices. Liverpool and Paris have become
alarmed over the non-shIpment, and each
day the Liverpool market has closed
higher than Chicago. St. Louis, in the
