Session of Congress.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-There is little
Canal Commission being ready for Con
gress early in the next session At a
meeting to-day the commissioners dis
cussed the matter of time of departure
for the isthmus, and while no conclusion
was reached the general disposition was
not TO go 10 Nicaragua until the end of
the rainy season. This would probably
keep them in the United States until
about November
Fngineer parties are to be sent down
in advance, however, and much prelim-
mary wcrk viii be done in this country
so that the report can be prepared with
comparatively little delay after the re-
turn of the commission in the winter
Even with this preliminary work how

close of the congressional session before
the report can be completed.

The Gargon's Head.

There is a great store of iron at Elizayetpol, but it is so heavily associ- ated with titanium, and this is so ex- pensiYe to cast off, that it is not believ- ed 1t can be profitably worked. AFrench engineer who studied the Caucasus products, said that this ore is of so little value that mountains of it in the United States are considered worthless, and passed over by capital. In order to work it at all, coke is necessary, and there is no coking coal in the region. A Russian engineer, interested in de- Veloping the country, says that a coal that will produce coke has been found at a place thirty yersts from Kotais, but this has yet to be demonstrated Kotais, by the way, is the place to which the Argonauts came, and whence they brought back the Gorgon's head, with it's flaming eyes, its hair of snakes and its appearance of fearful ferocity, the whole being symbolicaI of the feVer-producing climate and fierce wild beasts which still render the locality one to be avoided. The coal, which perhaps gave flame to the Gorgon' s eyes, is in character something between Ignite and anthracite-a high grade of Ignite.
