WYOMING REPUBLICANS.
Senator Warren Has Something to
Say About Mr.. Hay.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator War
rem, upon being shown statement
from Cheyenne, printed this morning,
purporting to give Wyoming'S state
treasurer Hays reasons for resigning
the craftsmanship Of the Laramie coun-
ty Republican committee-that it was
because of the senator's stand on the
Teller resolution-said:
4 do not think that the fact stated
can be correct, for two reasons. First,
Mr. Hay informed me during a per-
sonal conversation last month at Chey-
enne and before the Teller resolution
had ever been heard of, that owing to
his intention of going abroad, he should
positively resign the craftsmanship of
his committee on or before Feb. !. Sec
ond, although known to entertain diff
ferent opinions now, yet Mr. Hay him
self moved in state convention the
adoption. in 1894, of the Casper plat
form, including its free silver plank.
and upon which he was elected state
treasurer, as was also the legislature
which elected the present senators from
Wyoming. Mr.. Hay still occupies the
position of state treasurer by virtue of
that election.

AIRSHIP A SUCCESS.
Edison, By Accident, Hit On the Idea
of Gas Sails.

New York, Jan. 31.-Thomas A. Edi
son, jr., is experimenting with an air
snip he believes will be a success. 1t is
the invention of Frank Sauther of
Milwaukee, Wis, but Edison hit by &C
cident on a gas which he believes is
the only thing required to make the
ship "a practical one. Sails were substi-
tuted instead of any propelling power
Mr.. Edison says:
1T was at this point that l conceived
the really new principle. 1t struck me
that it would be a good idea to initiate
the sails with gas, thus making them
serve as balloons, as wei as supplying
the sailing power It would not do To
make baggy balloons of the sails. so
they We're divided into numerous COM
partments, which, when inflated, re-
sembled water bags. The tubes run
ming to the balloon were tapped in
three places to supply gas to the main
sail and rubber tubes carried gas to
the two jibs. The compartments of the
mainsail were connected by narrow
openings. the gas thus flowing freely
through the entire sail. a rudder COM
pleted the airship.
After many failures we We're sue
cessful. The ship actually flew, and
we succeeded in steering it, 1 believe
that the inflated sail idea is the one
that is going TO solve the aerial
problem"

OUR RIGHTS IN NICARAGUA.
Foreigners Cannot Construct Rail
road Across the Territory.

New York, Jan. 31.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
IF the Nacaraguan government
should contract with a foreign syndi-
cate for the construction of a railroad
and steamship line across its territory,
such action would. authorities say, be
in violation of the terms of the con-
cession granted to the Maritime Canal
company, and would probably be re-
scented by the United States.
The Nicaraguan government has no
right to sell to any foreign corporation
its railways and steamships. if their
operation will open a line of c0mmuni-
cation parallel to the route of the mari
time canal. The concessions which the
Nicaraguan government has made TO
the Canal company explicitly precludes
it. President Mckinley, l feel sure.
may be relied upon to protect the
United States in the matter, and there
is q majority of both houses of con-
gress in favor of building the canal
with American capital to stand by him.
THE prospects" he says, 'of build
ing the canal on the lines approved by
the United States-that is to say, the
canal commission. We're never brighter
than at present, and the construction of
the long desired waterway is not far
distant.

the yield is very small III the provinces
which have hitherto been credited with

SALTED WITH A PISTOL.
How an American Assayer Found
That the Gold Was Ready
for Minting.

A curious story Of mine sailing
comes from South Africa. The pro-
prietors of a worked-out claim hearing
of the arrival of a young Englishman
with capital, carefully "salted" the
mine before~inviting him to inspect it.
The sailing process was accom-
plished by loading a horse pistol and
placing a sovereign as waddirg. which,
on being fired at the rock. split up into
hundreds Of minute glistening parti-
Giles. This process was repeated five or
six times, and. all being ready. the vic
tim was taken down to look for him
self.
Knocking off some of the rock where
the precious metal showed most abun-
dainty. the new arrival asked for a
couple Of days to consider the matter
and this being given he quietly took
the ''quartZ" to an American analyst.
and desired him to test the value of tbs
sample. On returning to hear what
the analysts opinion was, he was
greeted by the remark:
81 guess this is a very valuable sort
Of mine. for this gold is all ready for
the mint; natures added the alloy in
precisely the same proportion TO the
gold as you do in your sovereigns."
The mine is yet unsold. but it will
probably be 1oated in the London mar
ket some day. remarks a London
weekly.
