price Of sulphur was $22 ton, but as
the result of Spain's action in declaring
this article contraband of war the price
has risen to $35 ton, and predictions
are freely made that it will be $500 be-

Here is an opportunity to develop an
other of the wonderful resources of the
United States. There are sulphur mines

The report of the United States con-
sui at Queenstown shows that in the
year 1897 only $4,000 persons came from
Ireland to this country, and of this num-
Der about one-half were returning i'm
migrants who had gone home as Wis
itors. These figures indicate a great
falling off in Irish immigration to this
country, which may probably be ex-
planned by the fact that the conditions
in the Emerald isle have greatly i'm
proved. In place of the Irish Uncle
Sam is now receiving Italians, Hun
garians, Poles and other nationalities
of Latin or Slav descent.

Sadness in Spain.

London, May 2S.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Times, commenting on
the feeling of sadness prevailing in
'Spain," says:
1T is less on account Of ministerial dis
sensions which are not really serious, than
on account of a fuller apprehension of the
difficulties of the situation, namely, that
it is hopeless to expect any assistance from
Europe, even France and Russia being,
since Mr. Chamberlain's speech, averse
from doing anything to precipitate COM
plications. Spain now sees that she must
trust to herself alone in an unequal strug-
gle that can have ONLY one end"
