BLEWETT, Nov. 1.-THE Blewett
Cyanide Companys works are being thor
oughly renovated and rebuilt this season,
and from present indications will be ready
TO start operations In about three weeks
The plant was erected In 1896 by A. j.

successful operation for year and a half
and owing TO the health OF Mr.. II. 7.
Rosenberg, and the administration follow
ing the other shareholders in the company
had TO get orders from the court and this
caused SO much delay 1t was decided TO shut
down the plant.
J. q. Rosenberg, who is experimenting
the ~compauys works, says that it Is a
necessity to have a cyanide plant here as
there is no smelter near. and besides the
arsenic in the ore Toured the quicksilver on
the plates and thus prevented; IL from
catching the gold. Much of the fine cop
per suiphides escaped in the slime in the
shape Of foam. The tailings have been re-
served in dams. with a view to further
treatment by cyanide or some other i'm
proved process.
Much of the gold in early days was lost
by the milling OF ore in arrastres, three of
which We're built. One Is now In operation
al intervals When ii Is remembered that
the fine copper sulphides which go on in
foam cannot be saved even by cyanide and
that only pan amaigamation is effective
with them, one can imagine how much
value Is lost by such rude mill as an
arraRtre.

TOWARD HOME RULE.
Gen. Woods administration of SAN
tiago,s Affairs Tends that Way.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Gen. Wood,
military commander of the department
of Santiago, was before the senate
committee on military affairs yester-
day. He gave detailed account of
hsi operations in the province and in
the city of Santiago and also gave his
estimate of the military force neces-
Sary to maintain order in the island.
On the latter point he expressed the
opinion that for some time the 1900
men now in the province of Santiago
should be continued, but after time
5000 would be sufficient for the SER
vice. He considered. however, that
military force would be necessary to
the maintenance of order for some
years and said it should be sufficient
TO chick any trouble before it could
gain headway. This remark applied
to the islandas whole and he thought
10000 troops should be stationed
throughout Cuba.
Outlining his mode of governing the
province he said he had made no ap-
pointments to office except upon the
recommendations of Cubans, and that
he had in all cases put them upon
their honor in making such recon-
mendationS. He had shown absolute
TRUST i'm them in all matters, going
among them always nnarmcd and
leaving the books of the administra-
tion always open to their inspection.
He had CubanS in all departments and
his private secretary had at one time
been a member of Gomez's staff. Thus
they always knew how their money
had been expended and knew just
what he was doing as their governor.
Gen. Wood said his first effort had
been to encourage the people of the
towns to establish self-government
and he had been especially Jealous in
having them select their local officers.
open schools, establish cou It's, build
roads. etc. and in cases where they
did not have the morey for these pur-
poses he had aided them by making
contributions for the general fund.

time, make the comparative values of
gold and silver very different from
what they have been during recent
years, embracing a period when there
was an apparent over-production of
silver and an under-production of gold.
If it were possible for silver to be
worth more in the market relatively
than gold, no one would care to advo-
cate free silver, because it would be
more profitable to sell silver for gold
as commercial product than to coin
it into dollars, which would be worth
more than their coinage value.
The discussion of the money ques-
ton has been a good lesson for the
United States. The free silver agita-
ton of 1896 was much in the nature of a
campaign of education for the people.
But the best school, after all, is expert
pnce, and the wise man is he who prof
its as much by the experiences of others
as by his own. 1t is wiser to do this
and it is generally much less expensive

If these sums are deducted from the
total receipts mentioned, there remains
in round numbers $3G5, 900 900, an even
S1,OO0,0O for every day in the year. Or
dinarily this would have been ample,
though the increased expenses made
necessary by the war will make some
of the new war taxes a necessity for
some years to come.
If there had been no war, the Ding
ley bill would have furnished ample
means to run the government. OF that
there is no doubt. Up to the end of the
year the war expenditures were esti-
mated at $l94, 900. The bond sale,
and S60,000000 brought in by war taxes,
have covered that and left material
surplus, which, however, will be needed
before matters are in normal shape.
Everything considered, the Dingley bill
has done we'll. The trainers have no
reason to be ashamed of their work.

PHILIPPINE PROBLEMS.
President Mckinley Has Appointed .
Commission Of Five Experts To study


Washington, Jan. 21.-Two mem
bers of the Philippine commission,
President Schurman, of Cornell, and
Prof. Worcester, of Ann Arbor, will
leave Vancouver January 80 for Ma
Mia. They will be followed a fort
night later by Col. DENLY. At Manila
they will be joined by Admiral Dewey
and Gen. Otis, who will complete the
commission. Schurman and Worces-
ter have had their final interviews
with the president and have received
their instructions which shall govern
them in making their Investigations.
The work of the commission will be
OF an economic and not of a political
nature. They will study the manners
and habits of the Filipinos, the mate
rial resources of the country and its
commercial possibilities, but they will
not attempt to deal with the problem
of government for the islands
The president has been anxious for
some time past to have commission
of this sort upon whose information
he could rely. The personnel of the
from the standpoint of expert knowl-
edge. Admiral Dewey and Gen. Otis
have become familiar with many sides
of the Philippine problem. Col. DENLY
was for many years minister to China
and is thoroughly familiar with the
people and many or the problems of
the Orient. Prof. Worcester lived for
years in the Philippines, hunted with
the widest of the Moros and Sulus,
attended their tribal rites and studied
the political economy of the islands at
close range. He has written Il book
on the Philippines which is consid-
cred a standard reference work.
The commission is not expected to
commit the United States government
10 recognition of the independence of
the natives, nor is it to frame a
scheme of government for the islands,
as was the case with the Hawaiian
commission. Undoubtedly, however,
the commissioners will confer with
the natives and advise with the mill
tary authorities, it being felt there
that men of their experience will be
valuable counsellors in the conditions
now existing.
1T is believed that the natives can
be kept from hostilities until the ar
rival of the commission at Manila, and
then it is hoped that the best results
will follow the visit, including the re-
assurance of the natives upon many
points as to which they are now doubt
full. 1t will also be perceived that by
the appointment of the commission
the president is granting the appeal
of some of the best Filipinos, who are
confident that both sides will be en-
lightened by its creation and declare
that the United States government
will be shown that the abilities of the
Filipinos for government have been
underestimated

TO MR.. DINGLEY'S CREDIT.
Which Speaks Highly foe His
Tariff BILL.

Not so very long ago the free trade
papers were ridiculing the Dingley bill
and predicting dire disasters for the
finances of the government. In his
own behalf, and in behalf of the party
which passed the bill, MIR. Dingley
stated that the receipts, during the
early months when the law was in OPP
Grafton, were low by reason of advance
importations to escape the new and
higher duties. He was right, as time
has shown.
The bill has been in operation about
II months. 1t now supports the govern
ment from the standpoint of a peace
footing. A recourse to figures will
show the statement well founded. Here
is table giving the receipts from GUS
toms and internal taxes for the calendar
year just passed:

GOLD AND SILVER.
A Radical Change In Money Condt-
tions Which Has Unsettled
Free SiIVeTites.

1t is beyond question that many SEN
Sible and talented men, believing in
free silver, have advocated the free
coinage of both the precious metals by
our government; and it is undeniable
that in the light of existing conditic2s
many of these advocates are beginning
I o ask whether changing conditions will
not compel a radical change of judg-
ment on their part regarding this ques-
tion.
The startling statement is made by
Hon. George f. Roberts. the director of
the mint, in his recent annual report,
that the gold coinage of the world in
1897 was the largest ever recorded,
reaching an aggregate value of over
$437 100000, against little over S105,-
100000 in 1896. OF the former. $146,-
100000 was recoinage, leaving nearly
$780, 100000 as the years net addition
to the stock of gold coin. Mr.. Roberts
also reports that the stocks of gold
in sight in European banks and treas
uries increased from 1892 to 1897 about
$3.50, 100000, or over 40 per cent. and in
the United States. Canada, Australia

So that nearly 81 ,OOO, 900. 900 in gold has
been accounted for.
This sudden increase in the amount
of gold coin in circulation is coincident
with a marked increase in the prices
of many commodities. Free silver was
advocated largely because of the ap-
parent scarcity of gold and the ap-
parent reduction in the prices of many
of our agricultural products. The rad
ical change in these conditions has ed
| many free silver men to change their
minds on the silver question. The flu
ture of free silver must depend on fu-
ture conditions. 1t is possible that an
increasing production of gold will, in
