The Garnon,s Hend.

There is a great store of iron at Elizavetpol, but it is so heavily associ- ated with titanium, and this is so ex- pensive to cast off, that 1t Is not believ- ed it can be profitably worked. A AFreneh engineer who studied the Caucasus products, said that this ore is of so little value that mountains of it in the United States are considered worthless, and passed over by capital. In order to work it at all, coke is necessary, and there is no coking coal in the region. A Russian engineer, interested in de- veloping the country, says that coal that will produce coke has been found at place thirty versts from Kotais, but this has yet to be demonstrated. Kotais, by the way, is the place to which the Argonauts came, and whence they brought back the Gorgon's head, with it's flaming eyes, its hair of snakes and its appearance of fearful feroeity, the whole being symbolical of the fever-producing climate and fierce wild beasts which still render the locality one to be avoided. The coal, which perhaps gave flame to the Gorgon's eyes, is in character something between Ignite and anthracste-a high grade of Ignite.

nombardment statistics.

Here are some official statistics to prove that bomberdment is not such terrible thing after all. Tn 1S70-71 the bombardment of Belfort lasted seventy-three days. during which 99,- 453 projectiles fell within the city, and there were but sixty victims killed or fatally wounded. At Strasburg, dur ing the siege of thirty-eight days, the Germans fired upon the city, mostly at close range, 193, 722 shells, with rec ord of only 300 victims Finally, at Paris, where the bombardment lasted only twenty-three days, 10000 siege shells were thrown, killing and wound ing 107 persons.

Has 9 Great Future Before 1t If Pains
 Arc Taken to Develop It.
 The great staple of Venezuela is cof- fee; but, as the prices are now very low, it might be well if farmers would turn their attention to other plants which give a more lucrative return. The yucca appears to have a great fu- ture before it.
 This is a very productive plant, and, although well known in Venezuela, no one has yet taken especial pains to de- yelop it. One heetare (2,471 acres) of land upon which yucca is grown will produce 150 quintals (15,000 pounds) of starch, or 200 quintals (20,OOO pounds) of tapioca. The plant is east- ly and cheaply cultivated It will stand bad weather, and the dry season does not affect it. It can be raised on any soil The yucca will thrive in the same soil with peas, corn and beans, and ground so utilized becomes far more remuneratiye than land planted in coffee One heetare of titled soil will produce ,600 coffee plants. Allow ing the maximum yield of coffee per plant, a hectare will produce s quintals of coffee. On the same ground the yucca will yield 150 quintals of starch, exclusive of the other crops, from the same soil. These other crops will az gregate 12 bushels of corn, 12 bushels of peas, and 12 bushels of beans. This will make land in which the yucca is planted from six to seven times as re- muneratiYe as when planted in coffee. Means of cultivation are primitive. Ploughs and other modern American farming implements are almost un- known there.

When Bismarck was Prussian Am- bassador at Frankfort, an interesting incident occurred to him. At that mo- ment he lodged in the house of mer- chant who detested the Prussians. Bismarck asked the landlord to put a bell in his room. The latter replied that it was not in the house, and that if he wanted one he would have to put it up himself. A few days after the whole house was suddenly aroused by 8 pistol shot fired h the room. The landlord rushed into the apartment out of breath and found the ambassa- dor quietly smoking a large pipe, seat ed in front of a pile of documents. On the table was the pistol which he had just fired.

agent of the Spanish government made
his way here to Washington. Before
he came here however, the. charge
d'affaires Of the Spanish legation, Senior
du Bose, had informed the state. de-
partment that Spain still had one last
card to play, and that it was of a
character which would be likely to set
tie the unfortunate affair without a re-
course to hostilities.
What the last card was no one knew,
as the Spanish authorities were par
ticular to humiliate themselves in ad-
vance Of actual hostilities.
They waited until the preparations
for war on the part Of the United
States assumed such character that
there could be no mistake as to the
intentions Of this government in regard
to Cuba.
Within the last week the prospects
for a serious report from the board Of
inquiry have become so threatening
that it seemed impossible to avert war
unless Spain should give evidence of a.
desire to raise the4wlite flag. All that
was waited for was the presentation Of
the new minister, SO that prompt dip
lomatic action might be assured and
the United States could not hold back
on the plea that there was no one here
with power to act in such momentous
affair as peace proposals on the part of
Spain.
No time was lost, however, and to-
day was inaugufated a negotiation
coming from Spain and proposing al
most a complete surrender to the insur-
gents and to the United States in ad-
vance Of the finding Of the board
which has investigated the destruction
of the Maine and the death of its crew

WASHINGTON, March 13-There Is
no prepared programme for the senate
for the present week. If Senator Ba-
con Is prepared to speak on the Hawai-
ain annexation treaty, 1t will be taken
up promptly, as indeed 1t will be If any
senator is prepared to go on with de-
bate. 1t is not expected, however,
that there will be much further discus
sion of this subject In executive ses-
sion, and 1t is the intention of Senator
Davis, chairman of the senate commit
tee on foreign relations, at a very early
date to move to lay Senator Bacon's
plebiscite amendment upon the table.
1t is upon this motion that the max
ers OF the treaty hope to secure test
vote, and Senator Davis said today
that he was hopeful that this vote
might be reached during the present
week.
Senator Pettigrew is anxious and ex-
poets to get his per cent land bill be-
fore the senate early in the week, and
Senator Vest will make an effort to
secure consideration Of the quarantine
bill. There is also a possibility that
the census bill may be pressed for con-
sideration. An entirely new census bill
probably will be offered, providing for
the immediate establishment of the
census machinery instead of making
preliminary arrangements for it as the
bill first prepared did. The committee
on appropriations is hopeful of being
able to report the sundry civil bill dur
ing the week, and If 1t should be sue
cessful this measure will be pressed
upon the attention Of the senate to the
exclusion Of everything else.
The House.
The programme Of the house this
week as mapped out will be COM
pletely changed If any move is made
in connection with the Spanish crisis
involving legislative action. But as
at present arranged, 1t includes simply
the consideration of the postoffice ap-
preparation bill and the Virginia con-
tested election case Of Thorp VS.. Eppes,
with the possibility that the naval ap-
on Monday or Tuesday, might be
reached at the tail end Of the week.
There will be a conflict for prece-
dence between the election case and
the postofflce bill, Chairman Walker,
Of the elections committee, and Chair
man Loud, Of the postoffice committee,
each firmly contesting for the right of
way. If Chairman Walker insists, the
contested election case, being a ques-
ton Of the highest privilege, would
have precedence under the rules,
but the house by a vote could give the
postoff1ce bill precedence. The Demo-
Gratis intend to contest the election case
bitterly, as upon the decision in this
case they believe will depend the fate
Of the other two cases from Virginia,
another of which was reported yester-
day against the sitting member. 1t is
expected that the report Of the COM
mittee will also be against Mr.. Swan
son, from the Danville, Va, district.

IN A VICIOUS MOOD.
Joseph Reilly Partakcs Too Freely
and Finds Trouble.

Joseph Reilly, alias Joseph Clinton, ran
afoul of officer Rafter on West Seventh street
yesterday afternoon while in somewhat of a
vicious mood from partaking too freely of
the cup that cheers, and also has a not I'M
usual habit of inebriating.
The latter condition was the effect produced
upon Reilly, at any rate, it is alleged, and he
conceived the idea of creating a vacancy on
the police force by curtaiing officer Rafter's
sphere Of future usefulness
The policeman did not take kindly to the
notion, however and after a lively bout, in
which Reilly came out second, locked the
offender up on the charge of drunkenness and
disorderly conduct This is alleged to be the
prisoners fourth offense for drunkenness, and
complaint will be lodged against him in the
police court today, under the Scheffer law.

notes, which now circulate at dis
count of about 80 1-3 per cent, and has
made issue after issue with every new
demand upon it by the government. Not
only have the entire capital and reserve
of the bank been turned over to the
state, but further sum equal to near
ly three times the combined capital
and reserve. These enormous advances
can have been made only in notes Of
the bank. In 1891 the issue of these
notes was limited to fifteen hundred
million pesetas, or 100000, 900, provid-
ing that metallic reserve of one-third
of the issue should be maintained; at
least one-half of the reserve was re-
Quired to be in gold. The stock of gold
held by the bank has slowly decreased
in recent years, but no part is paid out
in redemption of notes, and no one
wants silver in exchange for notes. In
February, 1895. the bank held $3S, 951 1866
in gold, $50, 1852 in silver, and had
outstanding $179, 1913 in paper. By
January last the stock of gold had in
creased to $45, S95, 962, and the silver fall
len to $50, 1913, OS1. due to the heavy re-
mittanceS of silver to Cuba. The note
circulation is now $2S3, 100000 While
the reserve is thus up to the legal re-
quirements, the notes are worth less
than two-thirds of their face value.
Spain Not bankrupt.
This situation is what occasioned so
much surprise at the news of SPANS
recent purchase of war ships, and the
many conjectures as to the source from
which she could obtain money. OF
$40 900, 900 loan on the Philippine Gus
toms, authorized by the cortes, the
government has used only one-half.
Doubtless part of the remainder has
been pledged to the Bank of Spain for
an immediate advance, a transaction
which is simple, since the bank need
only increase. it's note issues. But war
ships can be bought only abroad, and
in gold; so the next weekly statement
of the banks gold holding, if it shows
a reduction of two or three million,
would tell the story.
1t will be seen that Spain is not ac-
tually bankrupt, though in bad way.
Her methods of obtaining revenue are
Observation-Disclosures, monopolieS, pro-
tective tariff and a land tax collected
on an assessment made many years
ago. Her resources have been so light
ly touched by taxation that under able
management they could be made to
yield much more; but in default of
revenue she has turned to her state
bank and deeply involved that institu
ton in her own financial weakness. Of
a budget of $3.50, 900 900, more than S107,-
100000 are required for her debt account,
since Spain pays not only on her own
debt, but on that of Cuba, regarding
the latter payments as only temper
airy advances" to be restored when
her colony has become once more
profitable after re-conquest.
The expenses incurred by Spain in
meeting her Cuban difficulties are
placed at $222, 400 900, and the monthly
sum demanded by Blanco is $12,000,000.
Where Spain is to look for money is
question Her own 4 per cent bonds
sell in Paris at 81, while Cuban 6s are
quoted at 35OSand Cuban 5s at 29O,
against a par of 500.
