PASSIONATE SPEECHES.

Much passion was evident in the
Speeches, in some of which Gomez was
declared to have been delinquent in his
duties and disobedient because he had
accepted the proposition of Robert l..
Porter, President McKinley's special
emissary without consulting the AS
sembly; because he had taken upon
himself the arrangements for the pay
ment and dsarining of the Cuban
troops independent of the Assembly
and because he had declared 10 the
Assembly that he would observe its
rulings in so far as he considered them
beneficial to Cuba.
THREE MILLIONS INSUFFICIENT.
The Assembly again declared that the
$4,000. 600 was insufficient, and that it
The discussion OF this question Will
soon be taken up, now that General
Gomez has been removed.
Senior Gonzales de Quesda, who ac-
companied Mr.. Porter In Cuba. was at
tackled by Senores Galberto Gomez,
Sanguilly and Aguerro, who declared
that ne had acted in bad faith and had
deceived them Senior Aguerro likened
the present conditions confronting the
Assembly 10 those that confronted the
French Chamber when Il was proposed
TO impeach President MacNIahon
Colonel Mora and General Nunez de-
clared thst the present step was use
less and would make the Assembly RI
diculous in the eyes OF the world.

in other parts OF the world, while it
has not reduced our expectation, has
probably reduced the prices which our
producers and exporters have been able
to realize. The exports of oil in the
year 1898 were practically double those
of 1883 and three times those of 1878,
but the money received for them was
only about rs per cent greater than
that received either in 1883 or 1878.
the total receipts for the 1,O24, ,269, ,676
gallons of oil exported in 1898 were
BIOLOGISTS, while for the 57S, ,351 ,63S
gallons exported in 1883 the receipts
were $47, ,Od2, 400, and for the 38,S4t,- :
303 gallons exported in 1878 the re-
ceipts we're $46,57i ,974. The average
export value of refined Illuminating oil
was, in 1872, 249 cents per gallon; in
1878, 14.4 cents per gallon; in 1883, 7.9
cents per gallon: and in 1898, So cents
per gallon; having thus fallen from
24.9 cents to So cents from 1872 to 1898
Notwithstanding this steady fall, the
production and expectation continued
to increase, ,theexports having increas-
ed over 60000,O00 gallons in the past
year over that of the preceding year,
and over 100,0O0,0OO gallons over that
of any earlier year, while the produc-
I on for 1897 was 2,52S. .067 1884 gallons,
against 2,033, 1881 ,972 in 1894; 1,476 ,S67,- :
SAG in 1890; 1,O17,174, 1896 in 1886; 1885,
994, 1872 in 1880; and $40, 1926, ,5SS in 1876.
Thus, while the price has been steadily
and rapidly falling, the quantity pro-
duced and the quantity exported have
as steadily and rapidly increased. The
production in 1897 was five times that
of 1876 and the expectation of last
year nearly five times that of 1876.
Great as the fall in price has been, the
exports OF Illuminating oil bring over
million dollars a week into the coun-
try and have in the past twenty years
added a round billion of dollars to our
| foreign sales
Our oil products reach every conti-
nent and all the principal islands of
the. earth. They go to every European
country, to China, Japan, Australia,
Egypt, Transvaal and Brazil. With
every year our trade in oil both foreign
and domestic, is increasing, and, unlike
the gas fields, our oil fields are so far
from exhaustion that that event has
not yet been given serious consider

Dear Friend--I wish to tell you q
few things about Cripple Creek, the
greatest gold camp on earth. The Wis
itor who for the first time enters the
Cripple Creek district, is amazed al
what he sees and hears. At first his
eyes and ears are gradually opened
and after careful survey of the camp
a trip through the great mines and
conversations with leading mining
men of the district, ii dawns upon him
that he is in the greatest gold mining
region of the western hemisphere, II
not the greatest on the globe. A rec
ord $50,000000 in seven years, popu
lation at present of $4,000 persons; 6
STEADY increase in output of the vel
low metal year by year, until $15,000
900 is the proud announcement for the
year now ended. For the next twelve
months a product of $18,000.000 tC
500 900 is assured. Within five
years it is confidently prophesied by
competent mining men that the banner
camp of Colorado-CrlppleCreek-wil
be sending into the channels of trade
into the pockets of the laborer, the
mechanic, the farmer, the railroad ant
business men, and the investor, not les!
than $3O,OOO,OO0 a year. How is thai
