WEALTH OF SAWDUST.
A Ton OF 1t Worth as Much as Ton OF Gold
Quartz.

Victor L. En- arson, the Baltimore
inventor who is now in Ottawa, is
said to have discovered 4 rserrsS Tor
carbonizing sawdust and extracting
the by-productS. 4 long series OF
experiments in one of the largest saw
mills Of the Dominion has just been
concluded and the Ottawa papers say
that they SurpaSS all expectations,
even those of the Sanguine inventor.
The eXperim antS are said to nave
proved that the 80 tons or more OF
sawduSt and refuse that these mills
have been throwing away daily for
years should suddenly be discovered
to be worth $50 4 ton-in other words,
equal in value to the highest grade OF
gold Quartz-is enough to make the
average man catch his breath with
surprise, and produce in the cynic
smile"
Mr.. Emerson went to Canada sew
eral months ago upon invittion OF the
owners os the Edwards sawmills
there, who had learned of his sup
posed discovery. The sawmill people
had been ordered by the Government
to discontinue emptying sawdust into
the Ottawa River. and they secured
delay Of the enforcement Of the order
TO allow experiments to be made on
larg, scale by Mr.. Emerson. In Otta-
wa the result which the experiments
have produced has been received with
the great st interest. The industrial
effects in the lumber region of that
part Of Canada is predicted to be one
of dazzling possibilities, and it is SAID
that in addition TO the central plant,

mentS just concluded number OF
auxiliary Industries are likely 10 COM
mence operation in Ottawa, including
iron and steel smelling works. white
lead manufactori s, printers ink man
ufactories. and acetylene gas or calci-
um carbide works From the hydro
gen gas given Off by the sawdust dur
ing the carhOniZing process II is said
that the whole City can be furnish ID
with light and heat at 10 cents a
thousand feet. The capitalists behind
the inventor do not want to glut the
market with the products thus easily
and ch apply obtained. They will not
risk destroying the market price of
the product and by-products by al
lowing the secret process TO be freely
used. \ number of large c0mpani S
using the products which Mr.. Emer-
son has succeeded in extracting from
the SawduSt at nominal cost have
been awaiting the result and are
ready to purchase all the supply OF
those products that can be furnished.
Mr. Emerson is native of Caro-
line county, Nd, and a son of the
late Captain Rob ,rt II. Emerson, one
of the foremost and most wealthy cit
izens of the county, and n nephew Of
the late John II. Emerson, the found
er Of the Denton Union. and one of the
promoters of the Wilmington U2i)
Morning News For Il number of
years Mr.. Emerson has resided in
Baltimore. About six years ago he
inv nted a lumber dry kiln, which
has revolutiOniZed the process or
driving green lumber, and is in use
in all the larger sawmillS and lumber
establishments Of the country. lie

SPAIN ASKS ARBITRATION!
Spanish Commissioners Reply to Our
Demands For the Philippines.
Do NOT YIELD THE ISLANDS,.
The Spaniards Say the Cession OF the
Philippines is Beyond the PROTOCOL
Proposes That a Neutral Person De-
eide the Sovereignty of the Islands
No Uostillties Likely.

PARIS, France (By Cable).-The Spanish
Commissioners at the joint session Wednes-
day afternoon presented long document
In answer to the American argument which
was submitted the previous week.
The Spanlards, in their communication,
reafdrmed tho position which they have as
sumed against the discussion here Of Spain's
Philippine sovereignty. They insist that
the words "shall determine the control
disposition and government OF the Philip
pines in Article 8 OF the peace protocol do
not warrant any reference to Spaia's with
drawal from the Philippines, except Gu her
own terms, and therefore the Spaniards
propose arbitration on the construction to
be placed on the words "the control, dis
position and government"
In signifying their willingness to SUBJ
nit the Philippine article Of the protocol
to third party for construction, the Span.
ish Commissioners urged that, as there is
obviously difference of opinion regard,
ing the phrase, "the control, disposition,
and government OF the Philippines" posi-,
bly, the result Of misunderstanding, the
Spaniards should no more be asked to sur
render their view than the Americans to
surrender theirs.
The memorandum points out that dead
lock exists, which might be broken by
arbitration on the contending views, to
which the Spanish Commissioners are
quite ready to submit. The latter declare
that they have no idea OF suggesting
arbitration as to the main issue, which
touches the national honor OF both sides,
but they are willing to accept exterior aid
to clear the path Of negotiation.

A report from Georgetown, British
Guiana, to the Commercial Museum
calls attention to the anomalous fact
that while the United States send
mules and horses to that country, the
harness is still suppliedfr from Glasgow.
AS our workmen can certainly COM
pete with the Scotch artisans IL this
branch OF industry there is no con
ceiyable reason why British Guiana,
which since we have acquired the
Antilles is our neighbor, should not
turn to this market not only for her
harness but for all her industrial sup
plies.

Tribune, have been made by news.
paper correspondents aud the eastern
press in regard to Hon. b. II. Roberts
and his right TO hold seat IN the
United States Congress In our opinion
all this talk amounts TO nothing. il is
partisan and only expresses the ohag-
rim OF the Republican party at the
failure Of us attempt to elect the z. o.
y. candidate at The late election. The
Washington Post says in part in re-
gard to- the situation IN Utah:
The Washington Post has more
! faith than many OF its contemporaries
Ia the progressive force pt our civiliza-
lion. IL dues not believe that the
pOlygamy tenet, formally dropped our
~ the Mormon creed. will ever he put
back II does not believe that polyg-
amuus marriages are now contracted
In Utah. and il does firmly aud with
great cheprfulnpss believe that Chris
taiu civilization Is not going TO suffer q
knOckout at ne hands OF any sect or
rel giOn IL the churches OF the United
States believe there is danger In Utah,
IL Is for them 10 avert &C. The United
states government surrendered lis
right to dictate TO The MOrmons IN
Utah when 10 admitted her into the
family Of States. To the federal eye
all churches in the States look alike.
Ever since the election talk has been
made in regards to contesting the seat
OF Mr., Roberts in Congress. FIRST by or
for Warren Foster, the late Populist
candidate, then by or for Eldredge, the
&. o p. aspirant This talk has now
been abandoned as its promoters llnd
they have no grounds or pretense for
contest. Now the talk IS that Roberts
will be expelled from Congress after
taking his seat, and the Tribune with
great glee reported that twelve or nc.
teen Republican Congressmen-elect
have said that Roberts should be ex.
PEELED. There Is not q question about
such n matter. 1t requires iwo-thirds
vote Of the House to expel member,
and no such could ever he secured.
The whole fact is that Hon. b. II.
Roberts is elect, d next Congressman
from Utah, that be Is able and quail
