preparation of $650.G00 by congress. Il
beautiful building will be erected.

TO PUMP OUT MINES.
COmstOck Mining Company Takex
Action Looking 10 4 RcsUmp-
ton of Operations.

The COmstock Mining company has
taken action regarding the project of
pumping out the mines and resuming
operations. \ committee representing
RI companies is ROW compiling pre-
lininary data. The supeTintenGents OF
all have been ordered % report TO the
committee by September II, the condi-
don of the mines below the SutTo tUH-
nel level when these levels were abaE-
ion"d &c years ago. The secretaries Of
the different companies have been Gi-
rected 10 compile all the similar infor,
nation in the past reports of superiE-
tendents now on file. This getting to-
gether all that is really known about

The Sherman" statue. orer the
award Of which there was more in
tense feeling than, perhaps. has ever
been aroused by any other govern
mcnt contract, still remains q mys-
terry, so far as anything can be learned.
as to its progress. Although almost
two years have elapsed since its con
:truction was awarded to Carl ROhi-
smith, and during that time I finely
equipped atelier has been erected on
the white lot, in anticipation of the
requirements of the great monument,
no steps have yet been taken toward
its completion, other than in the most
documentary stages. The magnitude
and Importance of the work, and the
fact that ii is one Of the three public
memorials for the execution of which
congress has made special and mu-
niiccnt appropriations, makes it a
natter of deep interest to the public.
and it is to be hoped that before long
L will be possible to obtain some def
mite knowledge of its progress and eS-

Plans for the Uni1catioa of Saliva

President and a Centrally
Located Capital.

form 4 constitution for the states of

continue their sessions at Managua.
Nicaragua, almost dairy. The work,
however. is progressing slowly. The
delegates have discussed the first IL
OF the articles in the printed form of q
constitution which they have as a
guide, and have decided on the follow
ing principal features:
First-The organization is to b. o
confeder2cy, instead of a central uriou
OF The three states.
Secord-The name OF the confeGer-
acy is to be The United States Of Cen
trai America"
Third-There is to be a federal dis
'trict, composed of the civil depart
ments of Chinendega, in Nicaragua;
Choluteca, in Honduras, and La CuicS
in Salvador. all bordering on the gulf
of Forseca.
Fourth-The organizing capital II
to be Amapala, on Tiger island, in the
department of Choluteca, Honduras.
The permanent capital is to be de-
termineG by the first congress, and will
be located at Ama?aIa. Choluteca or
Chinendega.
Fifth-There is to be president,
instead Of a triple-headed tribune. as
at first proposed.
In a recent session delegates from
Salvador protested against what they
termed 81 spirit of antagonism TO Sal
vador." in some speeches made by Ger.
tain delegates from Nicaragua.
1t is thought probable that either
President PGnilla. of Honduras. or
President Pelaya. of Nicaragua. sill!
he chosen as the frs: president of the
proposed co~Dfederacy.

s,ao h,s "wn state as to lead some peoples 1 to think that he a@-a brother of General Iobn B, Gordon. Colonel Gordon was a private at the beginning of the war C- tpe rebellion, and while he has not had the honors thrust upon him as early in life as they were upon General Butler. he Is coming in for his share noYk General Next to General Miles he is the youngest looking general who has been about these parts General Gordon made most agree able impression when he came here to receive his commission and from the mo- ment he entered the presence of the presi- dent he was marked down for favors. The impression has been given out in some quarters that his recent appointment was due to political influence, he being the
 fath Jr-in-law of Representative Parker, of New Jersey, who is a friend of Vice President Hobart. In the first place, the vice-president has not been in Washing, ton in weeks, and in all likelihood never once thought about the peace commission. The president might have made some mili- tary appointments for political purposes, but he certainly would not have dragged politics in the settlement of the war. Both General Gordon and h.s wife are natural born leaders. Mrs. Gordon is one of the most gifted women in the south and is well remembered here where she presided over the Colonial Danes, ping one of the vice-president's of that aristo- cratic society. Colonel Lester. once speak ing of Mrs Gordon, said that she was
 afraid of only two things in this world Bill Gordon and the devil It has been
 largely due to her that the Colonial Danes have reached their present state of perfection as a society and none will
 rejoice over the honors bestowed on her husband more than the women who have
 met and come under the spell of her in- huence in the capital.
 General Butler was a very wise choice for the Cuban commission He is fine soldier, but is also a statesman and patriot He espoused the cause. of the
 Cubans and will temper justice with mer- cy thing that the military man purely
 cannot always do. He feels very much
 as General Wheeler does that the Cubans
 are not to be despised, and is willing to make many excuses for their faults. Had General Wheeler not seen service in con- gress he would have been unable too. as General Shafter was, to understand how it was that the Cubans could not be brought into subjection at once From Cuban standpoint the selection of Gen.
 eral Butler was a wise and judicious one. Larger Standing Army
 Because the president has decided to
