A Mexico Bonanza.

John B. Parish, the well known min
ing engineer of this city, says the Den
yer Republican, returned to Denver on
Friday evening from a visit to Minas
Prietas, Sonora, Mexico, where he eX-
amined the recent developments in the
Grand Central mines. 1t will be re-
membered that these properties were
purchased by the Exploration company
(Rothschild syndicate) of London, in
August, 1896, upon the report of Mr..
Parish, and the stock in the Grand
Central Mining company was shortly
afterwards placed upon the London
market
AT the annual meeting recently held
in London, it was shown that the
profits for the first years operations
were ,000 of which sum e37 500 was
paid in dividends, some e27O00 carried
over as surplus and the balance ex-
pended in improvements. The mine is
paying steadily and the expenses of
operation, under the management of
p. r. Abadie, have been reduced over
so per cent. The new main shaft has
reached a depth of $50 feet, and the
ore BODY has been opened on the sew
enth and eighth levels for a distance
of over 200 feet and an average width
of 16 feet, all high-grad milling.
The property is one of the best
equipped in all Mexico. The shaft has
four compartments and is fitted with
a 500-horse power hoist, having a ca
pacity of 5000 feet. The mill contains
80 heavy, rapid drop stamps, under
which the ore is crushed through a No.
. screen before being pulverized in
Huntington mills and passing through
pans and settlers and over Frue Van
ners. The Boss system of continuous
is employed and IFS
tons are treated every "a hours. The
large reserves opened up guarantee a
future for the property.

Pearl Harbor-Senator Allen In
Opposition = Hawaii Mixed With
Cuban Question.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Davis
continued and completed his speech in
the executive session of the senate to-
day on the Hawaiian question, and was
followed by Senator Allen of Nebraska,
who spoke in opposition.
Mr.. Davis requested, in the beginning,
that no questions should be asked dur
ing the presentation of his argument,
as he preferred, he said, not 10 have the
continuity of his thoughts broken. The
speech today was devoted largely to a
Presentation of the strategic features
of annexation. He displayed a chart
in front of the presiding officers plat
form, showing the location of Hawaii
relative TO this country and to Asia.
One of the points brought out with
considerable elaboration was the prob
able effect en- the Nicaraguan canal of
the occupation of the islands by some
foreign power. He illustrated by ref
ere-ee to the map. showing that Ha-
wall was in a straight line between the
westerntsrminus of the canal and Japan
and China. The nation, he said, which
controls Hawaii, viii control that great
gateway of commerce. The guns plant
ed on Hawaii would be pointed directly
at the mouth of the canal

TRADE ADVANTAGES.

In case we should fail to do this there
was danger of losing very important
trade advantages which were rapidly
developing in the far east. He referred
to the improvement of the commercial
outlook between the United States and
China, and instanced the fact that one
Minnesota firm had exported $4,000
worth of flour to that country. The
last half hour of Senator Davis speech
was devoted to a reorganization of the
subject, in which he dwelt at consider
able length and portrayed in strong
language the origin and close of great
wars, which was intended to illustrate
the probable ultimate result of present
operations in Chinese waters.
When Senator Davis took his seat he
was congratulated by almost every SEN
ator present upon the force of his ar
gument, the thoroughness of his re-
search and the brilliancy of his presen-
tation of facts. Both Senators Hoar
and Mason were heard to remark that
it was a great pity that the rules of an
executive session prevented the publica-
ton of the entire document

PEARL HARBOR.


He also devoted careful attention to
the Importance of controlling Pearl har-
bor now owned by the United States,
saying that the nation which maintain
ed possession of the harbor would hold
the key to the military situation in the
North Pacific He read extracts from
reports by engineers and others in con-
firmation of this statement, and in sup
port OF a statement which he made as
to the character of the harbOr, which
was that it was safe and commodious,
and could be easily defended. He also
presented the necessity for controlling
Hawaii as a base of supplies in case of
hostilities, saying that it was almost
necessary to control it for this reason,
on account of the impossibility of
warship crossing the Pacific without re-
plenishing her coal supply.
Mr.. Davis ridiculed the objection
made by Japan that the addition of
Hawaii as United States territory
would work q violation of Japan's
treaty rights in the islands. He said,
in reply to this objection, that all rights
would doubtless be protected and in
stanced the creation of the German en-
pire, as showing the effect of annexa-
tiCn upon the treaties of various coun-
tries which enter into a consolidation.
He referred to Japan's protest as an
indication of natural tendency to ra-
pacity. and said that the government
of that country should have been sat
isfied with the territory wrested from
China, instead of wanting to gorge her
self by the addition of Hawaii.
NO IMMEDIATE WAR.
Mr.. Davis called attention to the ap-
parent cordial relations existing be-
tween Japan and England, as manifest
ed by Japan's offer to lend her fleet to
the English in their operations in Chi
nese waters, where, he said the great
est naval demonstration of history was
about to be made. He did not indicate a
belief that immediate war would be
the result of European competition over
Chinese territory. On the contrary, he
called attention to the fact that the
flags of Great Britain, France, Ger
many and Russia were floating side by
side in the oriental waters, neither
power being apparently anxious to dis
turb the other so long as there was a
of each power getting as much
as the others were taking. The only
way in which the United States could
protect themselves against this divis-
ion of territory would be to control the

A gentleman who came in from

MoNTAUK, L. L.. Sept. "a large
crowd was at the station when the
President arrived. The party seem
fatigued. Three troops of the Third
regular cavalry and one of the Sixth
regular cavalry were drawn up as an
escort. When the train arrived a sa-
lutte of twenty-one gums was fired Thl
platform was cleared of all except
military men, so the party reached
the carriages without difficulty. Cen
eral Wheeler, General Ames, of the
lirst division, General Chaffee, of the
second, General Bates, of the pro-
visional division, Lieut.. Col. Miner,
General Pierson and Captain Smith
were present and received the Presi-
dent. Major Ledo acted as aid to the
President, and Capt. Marten to Secre-
tary Alger.
The President and Secretary Alger
entered the first carriage and on see

to General Young, the President

other carriage contained Quarter
master General Ludington and Com

The party went first to General
Wheeler's headquarters and then to
the detention camp to meet General
Shafter. Afterwards they made a
tour of the General Hospital, then to
the infantry plain.
Later they inspected the quarters of
the cavalry regiments. Hundreds of
people viewed the procession. Sew

the road as the Presidents carriage
reached them, shouting, "Hurrah for

The crowd cheered themselves hoarse
Everybody seemed filled with enthuei-
asm. The sight of Roosevelt at the
head of the cavalry also called forth
great applause.
General Wheeler is still practically
in command, General Shafter having
requested him to continue, owing to
the latter not feeling equal to work
yet. General Shafter will probably
leave the detention camp tomorrow.
The Presidential party will proba-
bly, leave at O'Clock this afternoon.

ONE OF THE MEANEST
STOLE BAPTISMAL SUIT AND
COLLECTION PLATE.
The Dotngs of Robbers In the Library
of the First Baptist Chnrch Dur
ing PASTORS Vacation-One of
Supposed Thieves Arrested.

That there are many mean people in
this world goes without saying, but
surely there are not great number
who would be guilty of stealing a
baptismal suit and silver collection
plate.
Somebody went in the library of the
First Baptist church while the pastor
was away on his vacation and carried
away his rubber suit, together with
one of the silver collection plates, be-
longing to the church. 1t is believed
that the parties effected an entrance
through one of the windows.
DR.. Brown says his rubber suit has
been rendered useless by the bows cut
ting the boots from the pants
Tuesday night the Salem officers ar
rested two negro boys, Jerry Puryear
and John Dull, ON the charge OF
breaking in the houses of Mrs. c. A.
Fogle and the late c. S. Hauser.
pair of rubber pants and boots
were found in the possession of Pur-
year. They were cut apart and there
appears to be no doubt about these
being the ones stolen from the church.
The boys were tried before Mayor
Butner, of Salem, yesterday after
noon. Puryear was bound oyer to the
Superior Court. There being no dam
aging evidence against Dull he was
released.
Mayor Butner tells The SENTINEL
that he has several other unclaimed
articles at his Office which are sup
posed to have been stolen.
AS soon as Dull was released, a
Winston officer picked him up on the
charge of breaking in the store of MIR.
E. F. Coble at 53l Vine street, Tues
day night, and stealing between $2e
and $50.
Puryear had purse in his pocket
containing $6.25. 1t is believed that
the boys hid the remaining amount OF
the money. Another colored boy is
thought to be implicated in the theft.
Early Wilson, another colored boy,
was arrested on the charge of being
one of the parties, who broke in Mr..
COble's store. He and John Dull
were tried before Justice Lehman at
} o'clock this afternoon. Both were
bound over to the Superior cout, their
bonds being fixed at SO. Dull is ii

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The good
people of Atlanta, or that portion of
them controlling the site and buildings
of the Atlanta Exposition, acting
through Representatives Livingston
and Barrett and ex-Secretary Hoke
Smith, yesterday offered to the War
Department the use of the property for
quarters for troops. The buildings,
which they said are in good condi-
tion. will accommodate from 10, 900 to
$1,000 troops. There is an abundance
of water on the grounds, including a
miniature lake of twenty acres, and
the site, the old Jockey and Driving
Club grounds, is healthful and we'll
drained. Representative Bartlett also
offered camp sites at Brunswick and
Macon if they were desired. Adjutant
General Corbin said that an inspec-
tion of the Atlanta property would be
ordered to determine it's availability
and desirability.

Gave UD Their Pistols

The Ripple tells of unique trial
which came up at Yadkinville last
Monday. Thomas Davis swore out a
peace warrant against his wife and
had her up before a magistrate. When
the hour arrived for hearing the case
the wife laid one arm around Tom s
neck and remarked: "Let me see if
he loves me STILL" This was too
much for the husband, who exclaimed
in the presence of the court: "Lula,
we have no money to pay the cost;
will give my pistol to the Justice if
you will give yours to the deputy
sheriff to pay the COSTS" Lula agreed
the pistols were handed over, the case
dismissed and now the two hearts
again beat as one.

Republicans Alarmed.

News comes from Washington that
Chairman Babcock, of the Republi-
can Congressional Campaign Com
mittee, is greatly alarmed over the
uprising of the colored Republicans
in Virginia against the machine.
These rebellious negroes claim that
they have not been fairly treated in
the distribution of offices, and they
have set up colored candid ates OF
their own for Congress in nearly all
of the districts of the State. This
movement has assumed such formi.
dable proportions that Babcock is
either to placate the leaders or coun-
ter-act their inllnence
