No Longer a Penal Colony.

Siberia is no longer penal colo
ny. The present emperor, Nicholas
IL, has issued an order for commits
sion to work out scheme to replace
the transportation of criminals by
punishment by the courts: to reor-
ganize penal servitude and the de-
portation which follows, and to bet
ter the conditions of convicts now in
Siberia. 1t will also devise means
for to establish compulsory labor and
workhouses as penal measures. The
transportation of criminals to Siberia
was established in the 17th century
and it has assisted in populating this
vast and wealthy region, which was
in need of workmen for construct
ing roads and cultivating govern
ment lands; but in the development
OF easy means of communication and
the beginning of the industries,
Siberia has lost something of its
penal character, aud now under the
edict of the Emporer, almost as salts
factory results may be looked for as
in the case of Australia, which was
practically dumping ground for
criminals.

What the Figures Say.

Auditor Watkins has about COM
pleted the tax roll. A close estimate
of the assessed valuation placed it
at $4,949,O25. This places Elko
county close second to Washoe
county; its roll footing up "a, ,966, ,265
only 81 ,240 more that Elko ccunty's.
This knocks the wind out of the
Journals boasts and shows plainly
that Elko is the best assessed coun-
ty in the State. If the journal has
any substantial basis for its boasts,
and we think it has, comparison Of
the assessed valuations of Washoe
and Elko counties is a strong argu-
ment for State Board of Equaliza-
ton. Either Washoe county is not
paying her just proportion of the ex-
penses of the State government or
Elko is paying too much. At least
that is what the figures say. When
the roll is completed we will publish
the exact figures, together with the
amount of the State and county tax
es.-Indedendent.

MEDALS FOR VOLUNTEERS.
The Reno Gazette Takes the First Step

The Reno Gazette has set on foot
a movement to raise a fund with
which to secure for each of Nevada's
returning volunteers, medal of
silver or bronze, and has sent to each
Of the papers of the State the follow
ing letter asking their cooperation
and assistance in the movement.
"The Reno Gazette has under
taken to raise funds enough to pre-
sent each of the voluntees who en-
listed to fight our battles in the war
with Spain, with some suitable med
al--either of bronze or silver. Believ-
ing tnat such a gift will be more
highly appreciated by the brave boys
who enlisted, than any social enter
tainment that could be rendered
them. 1t will be something they can
keep and show to their children as
they tell them what they did when
they were in the service of Uncle Sam
during the late years of the Ninteen
tn century. 1t has been suggested
that those who enlisted, but were
sent to Jacksonville or to Carson are
just as much entitled to recognition
as those who have seen active service
in the Philippines. There are 5S4
men who enlisted from this State as
follows; Eighty three Torrey's Rough
Riders; Ala Nevada Battalion, Inf.
ninety-two First Nevada Cavalry. It
is thought the medals will cost any,
where from $50 to 50. each as the
committee will decide. The Gazette
has raised, up to Oct 25th, $94. so of
the amount necessary, but finds it
has, to use the vulgar expression,
''bitten off more than Reno can
chew" While 5000 or $500 will un-
doubtedly be raised in Reno, there
are other parts of the State that
would like to contribute to fund of
recognition for the boys, and it is
with this idea that the Gazette sends
you this letter and asks your coop
poration.
"Any contributions sent in to this
paper will be publicly acknowledged,
deposited in the Washoe County
Bank until committee of contribu-
tors is appointed and the money
turned over to said committee to buy
and pay for the badges they may Sc
lect.
''It is not the intrinric value of the
badge the boys will appreciate, but
they will be pleased with the knowl-
edge that their services were appre
ciated by those of us who did not
answer to our country s call in time
OF need. The Gazette respectfully
asks your kind cooperation in this
matter if you feel SO disposed.

TAKES THE PLACE OF SILK,
Large Quantities of Mercerised Cot
tons Coming Hither from
Europe.

A steady increase is noted in the i'm
portations from Europe of a new fab
ric designed to replace certain grades
OF silk. 1t is mercerized cotton-that
Is, cotton which has been so chemically
treated as TO give gloss to the surface,
while at the same time changing the
character of the fabric. Within the
past year an enormous increase has
taken place in the importations of
this fabric, and customs officers say
that the constantly multiplying orders
for merceriZed cottons have caused an
appreciable diminution in the impor-
tations of silk goods. The mereerizing
process is applied to cotton yarns as
well as to the cloth, and the ''silkifed"
cotton yarns are steadily crowding
out the silk yarns for embroidering
purposes. Experts in this line of goods
have declared that mercerized cotton
yarns are about 25 per cent. stronger
than the silk yarns.
Edwin A. Hartshorn. assistant Unit
ed States appraiser at New York, in
charge of the division in which these
mercerized goods undergo the official
inspection as required by the customs
law says that he had seen some mer-
cerized cottons which in their close re-
semblarce to silk would deceive men
long accustomed to handling silk
goods. An investigation recently
made by the United States general ap-
praisers into the character of imported
mercerized cottons resulted in the off
cial declaration that the color in the
warp of these goods is impaired by an
insoluble, inextractable coloring mat
ter inherent in the fiber, the physical
construction of the fiber being changed
by the action of caustic soda. These
mercerized cottons are coming into this
country in large quantities from Ger
many and Switzerland, and also from
Scotland They are expected from 9TH
er countries, inasmuch as United
States consular agents report that mer-
ceriZing machines are being put in
operation i'll nearly all of the European
countries. Dress goods in imitation of
silk can be put on the American mar
ket about 20 per cent cheaper than the
real silk
Importers say that these cottons are
fast supplanting silk in the manufac-
ture of silk shirt waists for women and
as novelties in dress goods. The new
fabric is also coming into extensive use
for the covering of so-called silk UNI
brellas, In tapestries and upholstery
silks the mercerized cotton has become
an important factor While the mer-
cerized cloth has the gloss and luster of
silk, it is pronounced as durable as
heavy cotton.-Chicago Chronicle.

PHILIPPINE INSURGENTS.
They Are Swayed and Led On by
Different Leaders-Aguinal-
dos Power.

The insurgents facility of movement
and indifference to hare ships, which
would be unendurable tc other troops,
have made the conquest of Luzon
speedy and easy matter to them. 1t
was in this conquest that the independ-
ent spirit of the different leaders has
been shown, and il was only after the
success gained by other generals that
Agu raldo began to appreciate the fact
that, while the commander in chief in
name, he was, in the opinion of many
of his generals, only partner in the
enterprise. For example, Gen. Maca-
bulus, young man of about 80 years.
has raised an army and has taken pos

not long ago, to send Macabulus t0 an
other part Of the island. Suspectir
that he was to be freed from his com
mand on account of his popularity in
the north he refused to go. SAVING his
provinces would have to be conquered
by Aguinaldo before he would leave
them. A few days later he forwarded
to Aguinaldo, as guarantee of gaua
faith in the cause of the insurrecii.u
the sum of $4,000 in cash. This was
since the young commander in chief
moved his headquarters from Bacoor.

1ry gov "nment was formally organ

| New York, July 25.-While the day
provement on that of yesterday. yet the sss-
/ sion was dull and devoid of important in
cident. At times the market was at a
| standstill and always in control of profess
sional traders. In the morning there were
| evidences of a growing outside business,
| but they soon disappeared. There was an
! easy tone in the money market, both here
and abroad, and bankers expressed favora-
bic views of the outlook for the near future.
An active business in time moneygat TO
1-2 per cent was done. The earnings of
st. Paul for the third week of July and the
| fine showing New York Central is expected
to make for this month occasioned favora-
BILE comment and helped give a strong un-
| dertone to the market for standard shares.
Unverified reports of railway combinations,
together with possible increased dividends
by Pennsylvania, New York Central, and
the grangers, with generally favorable
crop reports, were also discussed.
The market opened quiet with display
of considerable strength by the leading
railroad stocks. There was an absence OF
the animation displayed in last nights late
trading. Traders were disposed 10 sch
by New York Central, Pennsylvania, and
Rock Island, the list hardened. Fractional
gains became general. Rock Island was
bought on rumors of an alliance with the
st. Louis Southwestern and Chicago and
Illinois st. Paul, in view of the traffic
returns, did not respond In the way hoped
for by builish traders, for il receded In the
morning, but later recovered its loss. The
granger shares, however, were inactive. al
though there were indications of some in
vestment buying.
Continued talk of an increased dividend
by Pennsylvania was responsible for the
strength of that stock. London sold about
5000 shares, represented chiefly by st.
Paul, Pennsylvania, and Anaconda. To some
extent these sales were attributed to the
approaching fortnightly settlement. Among
the industrials, which, with the specialties,
were dull, General Electric was the strong
feature. Call loans were made at 8 "a per
cent In the early afternoon there was
fractional recession in the market ascribed
to realiZations by room traders.
In the afternoon trading Consolidated
Gas was weak and declined two points on
the poor outlook for a settlement of the
Gas war. On the reaction in the railway
list sales were light and without signif-
canoe. very active demand for time
loans resulted in a sitter tone in that
quarter of the money market. Brooklyn
Rapid Transit, which, with the other trac-
tion shares, ruled dull throughout the day,
lost most of its early gain. During the
last hour the market rallied easily under
the leadership of Rock Island, which sold
at the best prices of the day and then re-
acted. Call money loaned at 31-2 per
cent. The close was extremely dull, but
steady.
