Concert Ticket Causes a Big Row at

Kewanee I'll, Aug. PA fierce fight occurred about I2:30 o'clock this morning between the roustabOuts of Buffalo Bills show and 200 excursion ists waiting for their trains. The fight arose over a dispute concerning 1O- cent ticket to the concert, one of the excursionists claiming he had to pay twice. After the performance he went to the trains where the showmen were loading and began to swear at them.
 They jumped on him and beat him, whereupon the other excurslonlsts went to his assistance. The showmen gave a peculiar call and in minute all the followers of the show ran up, and grabbing tent poles made savage as sault upon the crowd. After half an hours hard fight the showmen proved and withdrew to the north platform of the depot while the ex- who were able to stand up kept the south platform.

THE PRESIDENT ANXIOUS.
He Fears That Great ExCeSSeS May
 Be Committed in Cuba.

Washington, Aug. p The intelli- committing serious excesses in various parts of Porto Rico has aroused Pres ident Mckinley. The chief executive has been consulting with General AL ger on the advisability of sending a heavy force of American soldiers to Havana at once.
 General Alger advised against it on yellow fever and other grounds. He also questioned the authenticity of the Porto Rico stories.
 To this the president replied that whether the stories were true or not it suggests an eminent probability. He recalled Weyler's assertion and later on the boast of Blanco that if the Americans ever freed Cuba they would find it "a waste of ashes sown in salt.
 The president argued that the Spanish soldiery, naturally mutinous and rebellious, are humiliated and sore in their defeat He fears they will break over the nominal discipline which is maintained and leave Cuba as their ancestors entered it, on tide of blood and in cloud of smoke. They have no further responsibility in the matter The soldiers themselves are the constabulary and therein the pres ident reads the danger of the Sltua- tion.
 General Fitzhugh Lee takes the presidents view of the case. He is of the opinion that large force cannot be thrown into the island too quickly and would gladly take orders to move the Seventh army corps across the straits at once.

San Francisco, Aug. 22-Chief of Police Lees of this city is in communi- cation with the Delaware authorities regarding the poisoning of Mrs John P. Cunning and her sister, Mrs. J. R. Deane, by some person, supposedly a resident of this city. Chief Lees has been working on the case for some days, but is greatly hamp=red in his efforts to trace the guilty person be- cause the Delaware authorities have not sent him any of the evidence in the case.

today than it has ever been before in the whole range of history.
 Asbestos has been found in all quar- ters of the globe. It comes from Italy, China, Japan, Australia, Spain, Portu- gal, Hungary, Germany, Russia, the Cape, Central Africa, Canada, New foundland, the United States, and from Southern and Central America. The asbestos found in this country, espec- ially in Virginia, the Carolinas and Texas, and also in Staten Island, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, is in general appearance like fossilized wood.
 Notwithstanding this wide distribu- tion of asbestos, the only varieties which at present appear to demand serious consideration, from commer- cial point of view, are the Russian, the South African, the Italian and that found in the United States and Can ada. The principal claim possessed by the Russian fiber to a place in this group is based on the enormous extent of the deposits which have been dis covered in East Russia, beyond the Ural mountains and Russian Siberia. So far, specimens from this locality have been of comparatively poor quality. The yield is used entirely in Europe, where it is mixed with the Canadian in spinning, making paper, and for all other purposes where an inferior grade can be utilized.
 Before the development of the Ca nadian fields, the Italian asbestos was supreme in the market For nearly twenty years Italy has been looked to for the best grades of the fiber. But the Italian asbestos industry, once so important, is already declining. The difficulties in mining it in that coun- try are very great, and unduly increase the cost of production. The asbestos itself, judged by the latest standards, is of an inferior quality; it is not easy , to spin, and it does not pulp we'll in making of paper. As matter of fact the United States and Canada are the
 great asbestos regions of the world in the sense that while the mines are
 practically unlimited in productive capacity. the product is of quality which fully meets the requirements of the manufacturing trades.-The Manufacturer.

NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS.

The United Verde Copper company, according to the recent assessment of Yavapai county, will have to pay taxes on S222,000 worth of property. It has been stated more than once, and never contradicted, that a French syndicate had offered s3o,OOo,0 GOO for the mine and the offer was rejected. Ex-Gover- nor now Colonel McCord, stated in an interview when in Washington re- gently that S50,000,0 900 would not buy it. If the amount of copper taken from the mine last year has been cor rectly reported the clear profit to the company for 1897 was more than $3,- 000, 0,000.-Yavapai Rerorter.
 Since the Reporter has been under the present management numerous mining propositions have been report ed sold or bonded, as the case might develop them. This has been chron- heard of the deals, few are left having confidence in any such reports. As was stated through these columns a short time ago, the St. Peter-Martin group was bonded to a Boston syndi- Icate, and now one of the former owD- CTS comes forward and says that the Boston people have kept faith by pay ing the first payment. One of the pe- culiar features of the transaction is the reticence of the syndicate, no in- formation being given out as to the personnel of the company. MT. Tread well of Prescott has looked after the isyndicate's business.-Reporter
