ings are equally appropriate. The backs
are scanned at the centre and joined to the
fronts by means of side-backs, but the
fronts are fitted by shoulder and under-arm
seams only. The two fronts, which are
extended to form revers, are self-faced and
finished with a narrow fancy braid. AT

gether at the neck and fastened by means
of hook and loop. The basque portion is
attached at the waist line, the seam being
concealed by a belt of black satin. The
sleeves are two-seamed and fit snugly At
the wrists are simple Follower cuffs edged
with braid like that which finishes the
revers. With the jacket is worn a jaunty
toque of straw trimmed with velvet and
ostrich feathers.
TO make this jacket for a lady in the
medium size will require two and one-half
yards of f~orty-four-inch material.

Galveston, Tex.-Capt. Barnett of
the British steamer Asloun, who was
at Cape Verde Islands, March 31st, has
arrived here.
He says the delay of the Spanish tor
pedo flotella was caused by the crews
of the boats.
Many of the engineers and crew were
afraid to make the transatlantic trip
on the torpedo boats. Finding the
Government determined that thew
should go, as a last resort, they Grip
pied the machinery of their own yes
sells.
AS a proof of this statement, Capt.
Barnett cites the fact that none of the
naval engineers were allowed to make
the necessary repairs, the work being
done by local engineers of Las Palmas.

The War BOOms Copper.
Owners of copper mines, producing or
giving promise of profitable development,
can view the war and industrial sftua-
ton with complacency, says the Mining
and Scientific Press. Next to reliable
war news nothing is in more active pres
ent demand than copper. AS with gold and
other metals, this west half of America
is of prime Importance to the nation in
this regard. A New York broker says:
During the past three years no shares
of any kind of enterprise have shown the
remarkable and steady increase in values
that the copper shares have. During the
past year and a half eight of
the leading copper stocks have in
creased over $5O,OO0,0OO, and they
have increased over $20,000,000
during the past six months. The total
par value of their capitalization is only
Sl6,OOO,0OO. The Rothschilds and other
big capitalists of Europe have agents ex-
ploring the entire western continent for
copper properties and a large number OF
English bankers and operators have their
American correspondents looking up cop
per mines or large blocks of stocks in such
properties fer investment purposes. The
ownership of all the American copper
mines is in the hands of very few peo-
pie, and less than 100 American copper
mine owners control the worlds market
for copper. The demand for the metal is
greater than the supply, the total visible
stock on hand was never 80 low as now,
and would be exhausted entirely IN two
or three months if the supply was stopped

great danger laying here, as they might
blow us up any moment. The other
night the rebels came into the city and
stole over a hundred horses from the
Spaniards and killed. the guard they had
over them. They then vent back into
the country. They make raids here every
two or three nights. The Spaniards are
going and coming all the time from
Spain. There were five thousand that
arrived yesterday. I suppose the papers
are giving the Maine great praise. I
think there will be good war before this
thing is settled. hope there. will be as
I should like to have the fun of killing
some of the Spaniards here"

MR.. INGRAHAM'S MONEY VIEWS.
To the Editor Of the Press:
Portland, Me-. Feb. "a, /

Portland, Me-, Feb. "a, 1898.
Will Mr.. Ingraham kindly inform the
public and particularly Mr.. Bates, in
what respect his views and course of
action in 1896. relating to the Democratic
party and it's silver platform, differ from
that of the Hon. John W. Deering, the
Hon. William Henry Clifford, Hon. E.
B. Winslow. and the other Gold Demo-
Gratis of the party and especially the
Gold Democrats who happened to be hold
ING position under the Cleveland gov ern-
ment. Possibly he may find time to give
the public his view of the Hon. William
Jennings Bryan, and Mr.. Bates in Port
land, whether his present views concern
ing Mr.. Bryan and the Chicago platform
were the views he held in 1856.
Last year Mr.. Bates and good many
silver men holding his views were unable
to support the Hon. Edward B. Winslow
because he did not sustain Mr.. Bryan
and the Chicago platform. and now If
they have been led into supporting an
other Gold Democrat in the person of Mr..
Ingraham, it is quite likely they would
like to know it before the campaign pro-
ceeds any further.
