MADRID AND THE WAR NEWS.
PUBLIC SAID TO BE IMPATIENT OVER
INDECISION OF MINISTER'S ON
PEACE QUESTION.

London. July 22.-The Madrid correspondent
OF The Times says:
Hope of speedy peace must be abandoned and
a more circuitous route adopted. 1t Is no secret

not been encouraging. Sehor Sagasta Duke

Sehor GamaZo. Minister of Public instruction
and Public Works. constituting sort of Min
isterial subcommittee on the peace question:
continuing the discussion secretly, but the
public is becoming impatient at their apparent
indecsion.
This uneasness probably accounts for the
rumors Of Carlist and republican movements
which to-day are recognized TO be entirely un-
founded"

has the situation in the Philippines well in hand

was received to-day. 1t announces the arrival
Of the second detachment Of the Army, and re-
ports like the others that have gone before,
that affairs ara quiet and satisfactory. 1t is as
follows
"Cavite, July Il. via Hong Kong. July 20.
Situation unchanged. Second Army detach-
ment arrived to-day All we'll on board The

ness whatever. DEWEY"
The State Department has come to have fully
as great sense Of appreciation of Deweys
diplomatic abilities as the country has for his
naval skill and courage. and the best evidence
Of this is that IL has not found it necessary W
to this point to interfere in any way. either to
protect or amend his works
The Navy Department has now discovered
that the big double-turreted monitor Monterey
will not arrive at Cavite until August ), that
being the advice received at the Department
from the captain Of the vessel when she touched
at Honolulu.
The Admirars announcement Of the arrival
OF the second detachment Of United States
troops at Cavite has given great comfor; to the
War Department. which was not altogether at
ease concerning the first small expedition lying
between Spaniards and the insurgents With
these added troops it will now be possible to
demand the surrender Of Manila; but 1t is gath
cred here that the purpose is to defer such

Secretary Gage is cautious as to the manner in which be signs his name for autograph fiends. One of these gentry recently accosted the secretary as he was leaving the White House after a cabinet meeting. Always willing to oblige, Mir. Gage paused to write his signature. The autograph man indicated a place in the middle of the page for the name. Secretary Gage shook his head and said, You'll have to find an- other place" A brother cabinet officer was standing near and was attracted by the remark. After signing his name at the top part of the page of the album Secretary Gage explained that many years ago he had learned never to place his name on a blank piece of paper where there was enough space above it to allow anything else to be written. "I know that man who wanted the sig. nature just then was all right, said the secretary, "but never break my rule" The secretary told several stories of people attaching their names to blank papers, with the result that they got themselves into trouble through orders being written above the names--Chi- cago Times Herald

To surpass NIArnra.

But big as the Niagara scheme is, work has just commenced upon a still larger scheme of water power develop ment near Massena, on the St. Law renee river. United States of America. It is intended to develop here l5O, 900 horsepower by taking advantage of the difference in level between the St. Law renee river and the Grass river, flowing nearly parallel to it at distance of 9I5 miles. A big canal is to be cut across the intervening plateau. and a fall of water 50 feet in height thus obtained on the banks of the Grass river. The latter river will itself form the "tail race" of the power station.
 This scheme dwarfs the Niagara one, since not only do the plans provide for a greater amount of power. but man is going to do what nature has done for him at Niagara-namely, provide the waterfall. The necessary capital for carrying out this scheme has been pro- vided, work has been commenced. and 1t is hoped that some of the turbines and dynamos will be working by De- cember, 1898. If no unforeseen difficulty occur and if this scheme be completed by the date named, 1t will certainly form one of the most remarkable achieve ments of tho century. Jour nal

Roses being so common, it may be imagined how small the yield of oil must be to account for a quoted price of 36 shillings An oSEee, or about e2S per pound, and this to the chemist himself What 1t resolves itself into as a retail price is hardly worth going into, as a retail demand-beyond an occasional drop at sixpence upon handkerchief, upon a special occasion-is unknown, its chief use being in scenting powders snd the making up of fancy compound scents. Ten thousand pounds, or nearly five tens, of roses it takes to obtain a pound of the oil. These are distilled with twice their bulk of water, and the altar skimmed-very carefully skinned of tie surface Cf the GistiilaIe in the receiving vessel.

Improving on Nature.

Artificial flowers now initiate the natural ones so truthfully that they are much used i'll room decoration, and the practice has become much more wide spread since manufacturers have sue ceeded in giving them a lasting per fume. But a still more remarkable fact, says foreign paper, is that Dutch hor- ticulturists have produced delicately fragrant varieties of flowers among those species which usually have a dis agreeable odor. Thus sunfiowers ex- change their p1ngent smell for the scent of the rose, calAellias are made to smell like violets, the faint perfume of prim- roses is intensified, and the large cycla- mems acquire the exquisite aroma of the Alpine violets. The process is still a secret, but it is said that horticultural science will soon be prepared to dis close it

Ph.tograahy ana plplomacy.

The ecinematograph has settled an i'm. portant international question between France and Russia that might otherwise have added to the prevailing political uncertainty in Europe. It seems that Prince Bismarck, in an interview with a German newspaper man, recently ob- served that President Faure during his visit to Russia of few months ago had behaved with perfect propriety except upon one occasion. This was when, at his arrival in St. Petersburg, he re- viewed the Cossack troops which acted as his guard of honor. He was said to have returned their salute by simply touching his hat instead of taking of his hat, as the protocol prescribes. Bis marck's criticism was brought to the French presidents attention, who cudg- eled his brain to remember what form of salute he gave on that momentous occasion, but in vain. Neither could any of his comrades recall. But the other day the cinematograph. which seems to have kept an unwearied eye upon President Faure's movements in St. Petersburg, was interrogated upon the point and was able to return a sat isfactory answer. It disclosed a repro duction of the scene of the president s arrival at St. Petersburg, showing him walking slowly in front of the ranks of his guard of honor, taking of his hat with large and sweeping gesture of the most correct style. Prince Bismarck had been deceived; the protocol was safe; President Faure breathed easily again. New York Tribune.
