BRONZE WASHINGTON STATUE.
Mr.. McClcary's Favorable Report Rec.
OmmendinS Purchase.

MIR. McCIcHry'S Favorable report Rec.
OmmendinS Purchase.
The report on the bill appropriatinS
sl7!Oo for the purchase of bronze portrait
statue of George Washington has been pre-
sented to the House by Mr.. McCleary.
The original of this bronze is the Hou-
don marble statue which has stood in the
quadrangle or rotunda of the state house
in Richmond. Va. since 1876. In 174. soon
after the close of the American revolution,
the state of Virginia deoreed a statue to
Washington. Mr.. jefferson was then resi-
dent in Paris. and he was authorized to Sc
cure the artist and arrange for a statue,
Ito be of the finest marble and best work
manSh.o.
The report says in part:
Here in Washington city. this beautiful
image of the living Washington will eclipse
every other representation and be at
tractive and impressive object lesson to all
art students. resident and visiting. For
truthfulness of smilitude and excellence of
art there is here nothing comparable to it,
1T will also be an inspiring object lesson
in patriotism. When the Mount Vernon
Association of ladies was formed-back in
the ffties- and Hon. Edward Everett was
called into their service, he chose as the
subject of the grand oration which he pro-
nounced all over the land. Washington, as
having more virtue and Influence than any
other name or theme in aVcrting the threat
tiict tdifsdIttS VI diSS'iut!oii 9titiiStii-
ening the bonds of union. The talismanic
influence of that venerated name was never
greater than now the world over.
The value of this statue n means of
education was the leading thought of the
state of Virginia when she authorized the
multiplication of it in these bronzes to be
placed in the colleges. Here in Washington
city seems to be the natural and proper
seat and shrine of this oracular statue.
whose voice will here be more intelisib BILE
and more potent than that of Memnon.
More people will be influenced by it here
than in twenty years elsewhere. and that
influence will diffuse over the world as an
evangel of liberty and civilization"

THE MAGDEBURG SAUERkRAUT.
Vice Consul Murphy Gives Some Facts
About the Pr0cesn Of Making 1t.

Vice Consul Murphy, at Magdeburg. has
fiji of interested parties in the United States.
the Magdeburg recipe for sauerkraut. which
is the best produced In Germany. Accord
ing to a recent report to the State Depart
ment he has not been successful in this
matter as the German manufacturers in
that city politely refuse to disclose their
method of making sauerkraut on the plea
that, the secret out, Washington could pro-
duce the same superior article as Magde-
burg and the latter's fame in that respect
be thing of the past. However, Consul
Murphy did succeed in obtaining the gen.
eral process of manufacture, omitting Sc
cret formulas.
A number of white cabbage heads, he
says, are cut into fine, long shreds and
placed in layers in barrels, salt being strewn
over each layer, using one-haf pound of
salt for each, twenty-five cabbages. This
mass is pressed down with clean feet,
wooden shoes or a heavy stamper; a cover
is placed on the barrel and heavy stone
laid top. The sauerkraut is then al
lowed to ferment for from three to eight
days. according to the temperature of the
room. which should be cool, and preferably
cellar.
by pouring white wine into the barrels after
they are filled. Apples chopped very fine
are also sometimes mixed with the cab
bage About a week must elapse from the
closing of the barrel before the sauerkraut
is ready for use. In preparing and keeping
the sauerkraut sunshine and extremes of
heat and cold should be avoided.

Replying to resolution of inquiry, the
Secretary Of the Treasury yesterday sent
communication to the Senate concerning
the dealings of the North American Com
mercial Company with the United States in
connection with the seal islands, of which
this company is the lessee. The Secretary
says that the company has settled all the
claims Of the government against it by the
payment of both principal and interest He
further says the department has no infor-
nation as to the number of dead seal pups
on the seal islands, and that the practice
of branding pups. which was inaugurated
In 1896. is continued, but that sufficient
time has not elapsed to enable a definite
conclusion to be reached as to the effect of
the branding IN preserving seal life

OUTLAW GONZALES KILLED.
Notorious Cuban RObber Shot by the
Rural Guards.

dispatch from Santiago deCuba Mon
day says: Rural guards killed Juan Con
zdles, the notorious outlaw, and four COM
panions near Sagua yesterday. Gonzales
had been arrested several times, but he al
ways escaped conviction because witnesses
feared to testify against him. When ar
rested at Bayamo two months ago he call
ed upon the mayor and the principal wit
nesses against him, demanding that he be
securely bound upon a horse during the
journey to Manzanillo for trial. He ex-
planned this request by saying that he
knew the rural guards would kill him and
then report that he had tried to escape.
The officers of the rurals who killed him
claim that Gonzales and his band were
slain in fair fight, but there are natives
who say that the outlaws were taken by
strategy and then deliberately shot. Color
is given to this report by the fact that not
one of the guards was injured. The Con-
Zales band was the last of the well-known
brigand organizations in this province.
