just Gone,

To most German visitors to Rome
Goethe is a sort Of diety, and after his
death every trace Of his stay there,
however unimportant, was unearthed
and visited as if it had been sacred
shrine. One of these shrines is a
humble inn, where the great poet used
to take glass of wine in the evening.
Mr.. Rudolf Lehman relates that an
enthusiastic young Teuton, engaged in
this pilgrimage, asked the waiter in his
broken Italian whether this was really
the SPOT that Goethe used to visit.
''Goti. Goti, no 10 conosco, never heard
Of him. said the waiter. Then, seeing
suddenly that he was disappointing a
customer, he added; ooh yes, of
course. Gothic has just this moment

MILITARY SCRAP.
What Becomes of obsolete Projectiles In
Times of Peace.

The rapidity with which progress has
been made in the manufacture of projectles
caused by the continual successive inven-
ton of superior types has developed in
England a fairly large business in mill
tary scrap" iron, as it is called These
obsolete projectiles, owing to long contn-
uance Of peace, collect at the various
arsenals and from time to time they are
offered on the market in large and some
times small lots. This military scrap con-
sists Of solid projectles, usually called
shot, and hollow proiectiles, or shells.
Some of the latter have been filled, and in
such case have to be broken up and their
explosive contents removed before they can
be used. The solid shot, consisting OF balls
weighing %, So and IL pounds each, are
made of finest Scotch pig iron, and as scrap
they fetch very good prices. The great
difficulty, however, in utilizing them APP
pears to be to break them up, as the solid
pieces, if put directly into the furnace,
owing to their shape, require considerably
more fuel than il broken and then fed to
the furnace, The shells being made of
gray iron, also make desirable scrap very
convenient for use in foundries

private, Big Israel, a half-breed
Indian, asked for the countersign, and
the governor could not give it. He
started to pass on without explana-
ton, when Israel, at the point Of a
bayonet, marched him off to the guard
house against his remonstrances. He
sent for Capt. Orner, Of Troop M, who
ordered his release. The governor is
pleased with the efficiency and disci-
incident. Gov. Barnes is unused to
military business, his first experience
being in getting the present battalion
Of 400 organized. They have been in
camp at Fort Reno two weeks.
The man who threw the governor in
the guard house lives at Vinita, I. 7.
His father and himself are well known

Three Cabinet Councils Consider the

Three Cabinet Councils Consider the
Peace Protocol.
MADRID, Aug. 1.-THE day has
been, diploma tically, one of the busiest
since the outbreak Of the war. There
have been no fewer than three cabinet
councils, in addition to various diplo-
matte conferences. Though the text of
the protocol was not received until the
evening was well advanced, the gov
ernment had been made fully acquaint-
ed with its contents through Paris
The matter was practically settled, as
already cabled, at the cabinet meeting
this afternoon, and the receipt of the
actual document therefore only re-
quired a meeting Of the cabinet for a
formal acceptance.
Ministers adhere to the statment that
the protocol contains no notifications
of the original propositions, but only
new suggestions. They expect it will
be signed at Washington tomorrow
(Friday), and that suspension Of hos
tilities will be announced.
Duke Almodevar de Rio, minister cf
foreign affairs, assured the correspond
ent of the Associated Press that the
negotiations for the peace treaty will
take place in Paris, but he says the
commissioners have not yet been ap-
pointed. The terms of the protocol will
not be published until the instrument
has been signed

it would therefore be necessary to

COST OF THE WAR.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. = Spain's
practical acceptance of the peace terms
and the evidence on every hand in ad-
ministration circles that the war is
about at an end has aroused the math-
ematicians. They are now engaged in
demonstrating what the cost Of the
whole war will have been to the gov
ernment when the last volunteer soldier
is at home, the last penny of war bond
interest paid, the last pension awarded
This calculation is of course far-reach-
ing. Fairly accurate estimates of the
extraordinary expenses Of the army
and navy during March, April, May,
June, July and August gave them as
$3.50, eco, Of which about $105, 900 900
was expended between April 25 and
Aug. 6, and $123, 600 900 between April
1 and Aug. 6. The latest calculation,
based upon treasury reports and COM
parsons with similar expenses during
the Civil war, calculates the war ex-
penses from April 1, 1893, to April 1,
1899, at which time it is assumed all
extraordinary expenses will have end
ed, and adds thereto interest and pen
sion charges growing out of the war
and an arbitrary estimate of the value
OF tie labor lost by volunteers enter
ing the army. According to this cal
culation the war will eventually have
cost the United States $1,000, 200, ,OOO

PARIS, Aug. 1.-THE papers are full

The Matin says: "In China the great
est game in the world is being played,
and French intervention should be eff

The Soir has a sensational article
headed, War Between England and

The Journal des Debats says England
is now seeking an arrangement with
Russia. That understanding is impos-
sible unless Russia remains mistress Of
the North and England Is insured her
influence on the Yang Use river. In
short, the lines Of the sections are be-
ginning to be marked along which the
disruption would occur whenever China
falls to pieces Clearly, neither France.
Germany nor Japan could hold aloof
from such an agreement"
The article hints that France would
support Russia in the event of war. and
says in conclusion that France will he

the speaker, "about the supreme duty

the duty that devolves on him as a

he is citizen that he perform his duty
by his fellows in a way that shall be
honorable to himself and beneficial to
his fellows. 1t is grave responsibility
that is imposed upon people who
govern themselves. To the Democrat

the duty of the Democracy to rescue
the country from this sort Of govern

The logic Of events proves the neces-

OF the republic. There never was a
time when the need of patriotic union
OF the Democracy was so imperatively
needed as at present; never was there
such need of the waving Of factional
difference, and 1t is necessary that we
should all follow in the path outlined
by Jefferson and go with the Democ-

music Of the Union'"

The election of Dr. Stone was unani-

the tariff drawn up by the government
for Santiago and other Cuban ports.
This is in line with the policy Of the
war department Of extending the Amer
lean system of tariffs as rapidly as
possible over captured territory.
The settlement of the details of the
evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico is
already receiving the earnest attention
Of the officials. Some provision is to
be made for the treatment of the Span
ish prisoners, and for the disposition of
the small arms and the artillery and
war stores. There Is also some naval
property of value remaining In Cuban
and Porto Rican ports, and 1t is a
question whether or not this should be
demanded by us or be allowed to re-
main in Spanish possession. The con-
clusion has been reached by Secretary
Alger to refer these matters to a mill
tary committee and Adjt. Gen. Corbin
is now looking up precedents for the
guidance of such a commission. Pos
sibly this commission would meet the
question raised by the naval war board
as to the propriety of holding MORO
castle as a pledge until the formal sig
nature of treaty Of peace.
The ordnance department of the army
has succeeded at last in securing a
smokeless powder adapted for use in
the Springfield rifle, with which near
ly all the volunteer troops are armed.
The powder used with the small-bore
repeating rifles was too powerful, and
special powder had to be procured.
This is now coming in from the man

ammunition in such quantities as. to

cannot afford to defer the reception of

Engineering Chief Melville has prepar-

plans whereby greater speed can be
realized in the new ships than the Illi-

be sent to the great shipbuilding firms
which are likely to compete, in order
that they may submit bids based ON
them as we'll as upon the original Hill
