ASTONlSHES THE NATIVES.
The American Carl Causes a Sensation MT
Santiago

santiago.
The Americans are naturally the won
der and amazement OF the Santiago ma
tives. The entire nervous system of the
city Is daily being shocked by the new
sights and the new, events since America
took possession. The people here are ac-
accustomed to very formal way OF
speech and action. They walk as If every
step were studied. and the more enlight-
ened talk with the utmost preciseness.
The free and easy-going way OF the Wis
itors is astounding to them. the Amerl-
caring who is around, and the dainty
senoritas look at one another in wonder
ment.
An American girl is the most interest
ing of all sights to them. They watch her
in silent amazement from the time she
appears in view until she has turned the
corner They seem to think the American
woman the most wonderful Of all eartn-
ly objects. The Santiago ladies'. no mat
ter how hot the day, always dress In black
when they appear on the Plaza de Arma

girl was there in a bood-red costume
made of some kind of thin. flowing gauze
material. She promenaded with young
United States officers. and the rising OF
the sun at midnight would not have at
tracted more attention. But the thing
which threw the whole city into com
motion was the appearance of n young
American girl on the plaza riding wheel
and wearing n white costume with a short
wheel was never before dreamed of in
Santiago. This fair American cyclist was
doubtless out for the purpose OF having a
little fun. and she succeeded IN astouno-
ing the natives with an event they would
talk about for lifetime under usual con-
ditions.
No less amazed was Santiago society
when Chicago lady appeared at fash
ionable reception in full evening dress II
tiago women had seen such things in pic
lures. but they did not believe the Illus
belle stood before them as the living ex-
emplar.

The correspondent Of the Chicago Rec
ord writing from the City of Mexico says:
The owner of Mount Popocatapetl. Gem
eral Gaspar Sanchez Ochoa. Is negotiating
with a leading English sulphur firm.
through Henry f. Taylor of London. for
the sale of the mountain for G500OO-
Meanwhile General Ochoa is planning
scheme, which. at cost of $500, 900 Mex,
cheaper the extraction of sulphur. The
plan embraces a tunnel 500 feet long from
the summit to the top of the sulphur de-
posits cable line from the tunnel to the
reduction works at Tlamacas, half way
down the mountain, and cog railway
thence to the tracks of the Interoceanic
railway. The cable line itself will have to
be 1900 feet long, making 1T the longest
aerial line in the world. A rope of cru
enduring tensile strain of 200.00 pounds
to the square inch will be used. The
buckets are to weigh seventy pounds. with
capacity of 200 pounds. Thus l2O tons OF
sulphur ore will be deliverable daily.
The Mexican official figures made in 1851
establish the height of Mount Popocata-
petl as f,Sl6 feet above sea level. The
crater bed is $500 feet above the City of
Mexico. Cortez, in 152S first extracted
sulphur from this mountain for use in
making powder. The sulphur is found
senic. Forty years ago Ochoa acquired
the mountain and began the extraction of
sulphur. At present he is not operating
his reduction works, but in one yea he
extracted 1900 pounds. The world 3
consumption of sulphur last year was TO-
00O, 900 pounds. and the market price Is
now from sS5 to $40 a ton.-E. c. Butler.

Ten B.aus for Every Girl In Idaho.

With the bachelors outnumbering the
maids in every state in the Union it ought
to be easy for the unmarried women to
secure a partner anywhere, bu- the region
where bachelors are most in excess is, of
course, the most favorable to the spinster,
since the abundance of unmarried men
gives her wider range of choice. From
best state of the Union. for there the
number of the bachelors is to that of the
maids as 1854 to l426. each unmarried
woman in Idaho therefore. having ten or
eleven bachelors not exactly at her beck,
but available as a husband. From most
points of view the West is the Mecca of
the young unmarried woman. for not only
are there more unmarried men in the
western states. but living is more easily
made in the West than in the East and
therefore the western men are more ad-
dicted to atrimony.-Professor d. r.

The multitude of visitors in San

the Legislature and well-known poll
ticians from interior counties and the
southern region of the State. Aboard
the steamship Santa Rosa day before
yesterday, when the Senators and AS
semblymen were the guests of the

quently discussed. 1t was noted that
Speaker Alden Anderson, one of the
leaders of General Barnes Senatorial
column, was on deck. Senator Cutter,
the foremost man of Grants band,
and Judge Dibble of the Burns follow
ing were also in the throng. Demo-
Gratis as we'll as Republicans expressed
the opinion that the Governor would
call an extra session of the Legislature.
All sorts of rumors We're circulated re-
garding a signed paper, but no member
Of the Legislature could be found who
would admit that he had seen a caucus
pledge with signatures attached
thereto.
The story was told that Assembly
man Huber of Pomona had changed
his mind and would agree to a caucus
proposition. The same was said of
Assemblyman Merritt Of Santa Bar
bara and Assemblyman Works of San
Diego. Assembyman Lardher of
Placer was also counted as an extra
session advocate who had signified
readiness to settle in caucus the ques-

SEATTLE IS A BIT JEALOUS
RECRUITS FROM FORTS SMELL
ING AND THOMAS.

San Francisco is still the favored city
for the equipment of Manila troops and
the last camping place in this country for
regiments assigned to duty in the tropics.
Information has just been received that
the regiment that is being recruited at
Fort Thomas, a United States post oppo-
site Cincinnati, viii leave there in the
immediate future and journey westward
TO San Francisco. The other regiment
that we Will soon receive in this city has
been recruited at Fort Smelling, which
lies between Minneapolis and st. Paul.
The fact that these regiments have been
sent to San Francisco instead of the cities
in the north Will feed the already existing
jealousy on the part of Seattle. That city
has used every effort to secure the Influx
of soldiers to the north and have the Gov
ernment transports carry them across the
Pacific from that point. Merchants and
professional men of Seattle have eXerted
themselves again and again in their en-
deavOrs to persuade the Government OF
ficials to order soldiers assigned TO mill
tary duty in the Philippines to be sent TO
Seattle, where they should be equipped
and prepared for their trip across the
water. AS yet San Francisco has been
the chosen city. 1t was expected that
these two lately enrolled regiments would
be sent from the northern port, but 1t
seems that the War Department still IA
VOrs this as the shipping point.
The Fort Thomas regiment is the Thir-
ty-frst regulars, recruited under the new
army bill and intended for service in
Manila. 1t will leave Cincinnati in a few
days and cross the continent on the Penn
sylvania line to St. Louis, thence via the
Chicago and Alton and Union Pacific to
Ogden, from which point the remainder of
the journey Will be made on the Central
Pacific. The people of Seattle were be-
ginning to prepare for the Fort Smelling
regiment, and yesterdays dispatch from
that part of the country shows the disap-
pointment felt on account of the counter
manding of orders.
@. W. Heintz. the general passenger
agent OF the Rio Grande, is now in this
city. He had a conference with Passenger
Traffic Manager Mccormick of the South
ern Pacific in regard TO soldier traffic
eastward. The condition of affairs under
the agreement entered into some time ago
by the various railroad agents on. the
coast has not been changed a jOt. = dis
trihution of traffic is still in order.

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 25.-Among the
