which has been forwarded to Congress for
consideration, is as follows:
Office of the Admiral 174I Rhode Island

Sir: have the honor to inciose herewith
copy of my letter of May 81, 1898, re-
qUesting that the Chinese who fought in
the squadron under my command in the
battle of Manila bay be given the right 10
enter the United States inScase they should
wish to do so. / now beg to renew the re-
quest, and urge that the department will
recommend legislative action to allow these
men to enter the country for which they
fought. Ii is doubtful If more than a
dozen would care to avail themselves of
the privilege, but it seems to me that it
would be only common justice to give It to
them.
l have the honor to be- very respectfully.
GEORGE DEWEY, Admiral T. s N
To the Secretary of the Navy
The admirars former letter, which WIS
made public at the time it was received,
tells of the most efficient service rendered
by the Chinese. about fifty in all. during
the battle. and urges that 1t is unreason~
able to place those who have shown cour-
age and energy in the face of an enemy on
other terms than those accorded citizens of
other countries.

out comment.

c6ppsr rNill Be Scarce.

The time seems to be at hand when n genuine scarcity of copper will not only bc made manifest but remain un-' satisfied idesnitely unless new depos- ils of fsfge volume are discovered aud under conditions which render their development and future operation at profit. The Marquette Mining Journal fig ures that the average production of eoppcfin this country for some time is S0 COG tons per month. During the first six months of 1899 the output reached the total of l24 ,4S7 tons or an average of 20, 748 tons per month. The mines in Europe within the same pe- riod have produced a total of 43,62S tons. The broad statement is made that at the present date all the copper produced in this country is in process ef manufacture and that not d free ton of the commodity is attainab ble. In Europe, notwithstanding the bulk produced since January l, and given above, the entire stock of copper docs not exceed l6,0OO tons. Within five years the price of copper has advanced from 10 cents to 1SLS and l9 cents per pound. Tn IS04 copper was produced from the best mines and delivered iu New York at about cents 8 pound. To-day the cost of production and de- livery Is near to cents 9 pound The constantly increasing use of copper in electric devices and appliances Of every sort has annually swelled the demand for metal, not only here, but in Europe wherever electricity is being intro duced and it's generative powers ayailed of. Since 1894 the demand has increased 59 per cent. Previous to that date there was an annual increase in production of about 10 per cent, but thenceforward it has averaged frac- tion less then per cent. Meanwhile the demand from abroad has been con stantly augmented, aud since January lst, c APO tons of copper have been ex- ported. It is not surprising, with the supply and demand so close together, that there are com binatioas seeking to obtain control of the situation.
