ity to work instead of their politics.
Altogether the navy yard, which has
not for ten years been highly regarded
by shipbuilders or manufacturers, has
been wholly transformed If it does
take as long as the Spaniards have
been told to fix up the Columbia, the
officials will think ! reproach. ADJ
miral Bunce, in charge of the yard, can
be relied upon to see that there is no
unnecessary delay.
Besides the South American lines
about to resume sailings in American
bottoms, the entire West India trade
is about to be revived. Sailing mas
tiers want to go to any and every port
outside of Cuba and Porto Rico. If
they can get anybody to entrust them
with cargoes they will not delay longer
than is necessary to loan. Steamers,
however, have the call. The demand
for our goods at all West Indian ports
is urgent, and not enough foreign bot
toned vessels are carrying the sup
plies in now. Profits by additional
ships promise to more than cover the
extra insurance still demanded. One
coastwise line has decided to send a
steamer through the track of war.
Her captain will be under orders to
sail direct as he can for San Domingo,
and to never mind about Spanish war
ships. 1t is possible that he will also
receive orders to do scout duty all
along his route, and to cable the gov
eminent what he has seen as soon as
he has arrived at his destination. That
he will do this, however, cannot be
publicly acknowledged. 1t would
make his vessel virtually an auxiliary
cruiser, and liable to be ordered out OF
any neutral port of Hayti in case OF
protest by Spain. If the cargo can
be got aboard by Friday, this steamer
will sail then and her owners say that
the start will be made regardless OF
any further news of Ceryera. They dc
not believe that even if Cervera gets
out of Santiago harbor unframed, any
of his vessels will be able in their pres
ent condition to catch the steamer,
which has been overhauled and made
ready for fast trip.

SAYS the Daily Republican,: "the vii.
mington Electric Light Company should
be compelled by an act of the Legislature
to furnish the city of Wilmington with
Its light free for the privilege Of erecting
their polls and stringing their deadly
wires throughout the city. It is time
the, city of Wilmington was receiving
some pay for the different franchises
winch 1t has to give out to different c )r.
pordtions. 1t would not be bad idea
for the city to own its own electric light
ing plant and if managed as well as tie
Water Department it would paw bio
revenue to the city,"
1t is not only time that tie citv of Will
mlnRton was receiving some nav for the
different franchises which it has to give
out to different corporations but It is
time that the people of Wilmington were
recognized by those corporations.

that charges enormous prices for that
illuminant because it is the only com.
pany supplying the people is the propo.
sltlon that confronts the citizens Of Will

The trouble is not always with these
corporations. They are controlled hv
men who are eager to gain money. Their

could be modified by the Municinal

NATURAL GAS.
A New Fuel Without the Use of
Coal.

new Fuei without the Use Ol
The writer saw today new invention
which, when introduced, cannot heir
but revolutionize the methods Of heating
cook and other stoves. II is the Cham.
pion Oil Burner exhibited BY David
Barnhisel and +. M. Hopkins for the
Cleveland Company, and what Il will
40 is surprising. The principle al
this burner is that common coal oil Il
converted into gas; the oil is placed in q
large can, which may be stationed q
dozen or q hundred feet away from the
stove. The oil is carried through a
small rolled pipe to the burners, which
are first heated, and then as fast as the
OIL flows it is converted into gas, which
mixes with 80 per cent. air and 10 per
cent. carbon oil gas, passing through the
burner anu producing long blue fame Of
intense heat, free from smoke and odor.
The combustion being perfect, there is
no waste of fuel. When we add to this
that there is no danger, it is impossible
not to feel, as we see the intense fame
circling around the fue, with the power
to hold SO many pots, that the cooking
and heating question has been dealt
with in masterful and successful man
ner.
These gentlemen are located here at
4l5 Market street, opposite the and 10.

will be glad to exhibit the invention to
anyone. It may be put in any stove

they are all coolies; neither are they

AMERICAN CORN
Is Beginning TO Find a Good Foreign
Market.

Exports of American corn for the year
ending with the present month will
amount to more than 200 600, 900 bushels
for which the farmers will have received
upward Of $6O,OO0,OOO Sixty per cent.
OF this grain has been taken by England
and Germany, the latter having already
purchased more than 3O,0OO,0O0 bushels
as against less than l,0O0.OOO bushels in
1888. The development OF the European
demand for corn discloses one of the
most promising markets now opening to

steadily increasing profit on the pro-

CAT ASSAYED $I8.sI.
Il Hadn't Been In a Gold Mine for
Nothing.

An amusing mining story comes from
the Mocking Bird mine in the Warm
Springs district near Butte, Mont. l. j
Rnwen, who owns and works the mine,
also owns pet cat. This cat climbs up
and down the shaft, through drifts cross
cuts, slopes and lev-ls, and lives down
there most OF the time, being fed by the
miners from the contents of their dinner
pals
A brilliant idea struck Rowen the
other day. He took the cat into the ore
house and washed the hair as clean 10
the skin as it could possibly be- washed
Then he panned the dirty water to the
highest percentage, and the entire cal
assayed SIS 81 on an assayer's scales. II
is doubtful il any mine in the Rocky
Mountains can assay better than 1881
