why the Porte objects.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24-Oscar S. Straus,
minister to Turkey, declines to say any,
thing about the Porte's action in refusing
an exequatur for a United States consul
at Harpoot declaring that all comment
should come from the State Department.
Another man who has spent years in the
diplomatic service said: THE Turkish au-
thorities look with jealousy upon the ap-
pointment of consuls to interior points in
the empire, especially when, as in the
present instance, the United States wishes
to send consul TO a point where il has
not had a consul before. The reason, per-
haps, why the Turkish authorities more
specifically object to the appointment of
a consul at Harpoot is that ii was at Har-
poot where the American missionary prop
erty was destroyed during the Armenian
troubles. America has no commerce at
Harpoot. Its interests there are only mis-
sionary, as in that city is located the
Euphrates College, besides several mission
schools, and Ii is center of the American
missionaries. But IL can be reasonably
claimed by our government even If we
have little or no commerce now there that
we may want to cultivate it. especially
as a number of our citizens are resident
there Heretofore such consular business
as the United States has had at Harpoot
has been conducted by the British vice
consul there"

WORMS LET IT ALONE.
Rubber Insulated Cable Not Affected
by the ToredO.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Reports to the
chief signal officer from Manila indicate
that the War Department has made an
important discovery in connection with the
submarine cable work in tropical waters.
One of the War Department cables that
was shipped to Manila and put down for
irterisland communication was of the
rubber insulated variety. The English
cable experts in the islands predicted its
speedy destruction by the toredo, SUBJ
marine boring worm, which eats every
thing short Of railroad iron that is SUBJ
merged in the water. The English cable.
with gutta percha insulation, resists the
attack of this insect for only about a year
and it is necessary to insert in the cable
armor a thin continuous wrapper Of sheet
copper to prevent the toredo from boring
clear through to the conducting wires and
short-circuiting the cable. This copper
protection adds considerably TO the ex-
pense of the cable without adding to its
efficiency for teegraphic purposes. In
seems. however, that the American cable
with its rubber insulation, which has been
dcwn for two years, is still in good work
ing order. Colonel Allen, chief signal Of
ficer in the islands, has advised General
Greedy that the cable staff of the signal
service is at present organized on a very
effective footing and will be able to lay
any amount of cable which the depart
ment may see ut TO ship to Manila.

RETALIATION PROBABLE
TURKS MAY BE PUNISHED FOR DE-
NYING ExEaUATUR TO NORTON.
The Porte Still Determined Not Go
Permit a United States Con-
sui at Harpoot.

WASHINGTON, Nov. A.-The Turkish
authorities having refused to grant an ex-
equatur to DR.. Thomas H. Norton, to act
as United States consul at Harpoot, the
indications point to some retaliatory meas
ures on the part of our government in the
near future. The Turkish contention now
IS that they permitted a United States
consulate to be established at Erzeroum
under an implied understanding that the
United States would abandon its claim to
a consulate at Harpoot. That there was
some shadow of foundation for this I'M
Outstanding is admitted but 1t is still the
purpose of the United States to establish
this consulate because the British govern
ment has since been permitted to locate a
consul at Harpoot, and, under the favored
nation clause of our treaty with Turkey
the United States government claims the
same commercial privileges as Great Brit
ain. The last adverse decision of the Turk
ish government in this matter has not
modified the orders to the big battleship
Kentucky to proceed from Naples TO
Symrna in the ordinary course Monday or
Tuesday next.
A dispatch from Constantinople, dated
Friday, says: United States Charge
d'Affaires Griscom called on Tewfik Pasha,
minister for foreign affairs, yesterday to
urge a settlement of the difficulty in re-
lation to the granting of an exequatur
ago was appointed by President Mckinley
to establish a consulate at Harpoot. The
Porte, however, is firm in it's refusal to
grant the request for an exequatur.

that attention is again being given in
Venezuela to the project of the transfer
of the island of Curacao. belonging TO
Dutch Guiana, and lying off the coast
of Venezuela. to Germany. The island

FIRST BANKRUPTCY CASE.
Porto Rfcan Firm Files 1t Under the
Federal Bankruptcy Law.

SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, Nov. "a
The first bankruptcy case under the con-
gressional act was filed to-day, the Mayol
Company, of Ponce, presenting a volun-
tary petition to be declared insolvent. The
liabilities are stated to be s135.000 and the
assets are placed at half that amount.
A hundred and fourteen Porti Ricans OF
both sexes, bound for Hawaii. are due at
New Orleans on the steamer Arkadia Nov.
%. They are en- route for San Francisco
by way of the Southern Pacific. 1t Is not
considered probable that they will be de-
tanned by treasury agents at New Orleans
on the ground that they are contract la
borers. Should the experiment prove sat
isfactory thousands of Porto Ricans prob
ably will be sent to Hawaii.

on the balcony of the hotel some one in
the crowd noticed that the men on the

ended.
KRUGER GOES TO THE PALACE
Mr.. Kruger at his hotel received in rapid
succession a number of delegations, in
Guiding one from the Nationalist depu-
ties, headed by NM. Millevoye and Lasies.
He afterward received the project of po-
lice, Nj. LEIPZIG, and M. De Villebois Mar
euil. a brother of the famous French
colonel, who was killed in South Africa
while fighting for the Beers. Mr.. Kruger
then retired to his room, declared he was
fatigued and said he would see nobody.
Nj. Crozier called at 2:l5 p m. and Mr..
Kruger, who was sleeping, arose to re-
ceive him. Nj Crozier announced that
President Loubet was prepared TO receive
Mr.. Kruger at o'clock, and the tired
traveller prepared himself TO visit the
Elysee. While the crowd before the hotel
decreased somewhat during the afternoon
considerable concourse remained shout
Ing for the Beers and Mr.. Kruger.
Just before o'clock a gala landau from

siers The scenes of enthusiasm of the
morning were repeated Mr.. Kruger was
received at the Elysee with semi-official
ceremonies. such as were accorded to the
sovereigns who visited the exhibition. A
detachment of infantry with its standard
and band drawn up in the courtyard rem

ceived AIR. Kruger in the Hall of the Am
bassadors. where NJ. Delcasse, the minis
ter of foreign affairs, was also waiting
him. The interview lasted five minutes

der, the insignia of his office as Presi-
dent of the South African republic He

NJ. Loubet returned Mr.. Kruger's visit

warmly acclaimed during his drive TO the
Hotel Scribe, and during his stay at the
hotel the crowds raised alternate shouts
OF :'Vive Kruger and "Vive Loubet."
After President Loubets departure Mr.
Kruger withdrew TO his own room and
declined to see further visitors, even the
officials OF the Municipal Council who
were DESTROYS of ascertaining the day on
Hotel de Vile, being refused and leaving
in a very disconnected frame of mind.

MINERAL PRODUCTION.
Enormous Increase in the United
State During Last Calendar Year.

WASHINGTON, Nov. A.-Dr David T..
Day, chief of the division of mining and
mineral resources of the United States
geological survey, has just completed the
annual summary of the mineral produc-
ton of the United States from 1890 to 1899,
inclusive.
The total value of all the minerals pro-
duced during the last calendar year
amounted to sS76, 00s, 946, against $697, S2O 100
In 1889, an increase of 27S 1SS, 226 or prac-
tically 40 per cent. This increase was the
most notable in the history of the mineral
industry, the previous largest increase be-
ing from 1894 to 1895, when the value ad-
vanced about Is per cent. The produc-
ton from 1880 to 1898 has exceeded 100000
900 in every year except two, the panic
years of 1893 and 1894. The average yearly
production from 1890 to 1898. inclusive, was
S61S,2S6,510, making the production in 1893
SOL, az, 436, or 5S per cent. in excess of the
average for that period. The great in
crease In 1899 was in the value of the pig
iron product, which increased to s245, IT, 654,
or about ITO per cent. over 1885, The enor-
nous increase was due to the phenomenal
demand and high prices. The increase in
coal production dds over $4S, 900, or 23
per cent, to the 1898 value. Copper i'm

Crude petroleum advanced nearly SIG, 500,

TO advanced prices, the production increas-
ing less than per cent.
The value of the natural gas consumed
in 1899 is placed at a little over SIG. 900, 600,
against $l5,S00,000, due entirely to the
higher prices charged
An increase OF about 10 per cent, or from
S64, 463, 900 in 1898 to 81. 053 400 in 1890, is
shown in gold production. The production
of silver showed a very small increase.

during 1893.

TWENTY-SIX LIVES LOST
STEAMER ST. OLAF WRECKED IN
THE GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE.
Nineteen in the Crew and Seven Pas
sengers, Including One woman
Body of the Latter Found.

QUEBEC, Nov. 24.-News reached here
early this afternoon that the steamer st.
Olaf, which has been coasting between
this port and Point aux Esquimaux, in the
lower st. Lawrence, for the last two years,
had become total wreck off Seven ISLANDS,
and that her crew was entirely lost. The
first dispatch from Seven islands brought
but meager news, and it was only late in
the afternoon that Messrs. A. Frazer &
Co., owners of the steamer, were informed
of the extent of the disaster. Besides the
nineteen men of the steamers crew, 1t was
learned that seven passengers had also
persisted The st. Olaf was an iron steamer
of 305 tons, and was built on the Clyde.
at Port Glasgow, in 1882. She was valued
at about $4,000 and insured for about $40, 600.
The last news heard of the ST. Olaf up
until to-day was that she had left Shell
drake on Wednesday. and shortly after
this the signal station dispatches reported
rough weather with gales of wind and
snow, and ii is supposed that during one
OF these gales the st. Olaf ran ashore on
one of the rocks at the entrance of the
Seven Islands sound, as the dispatch
states that she was wrecked on Boule
island.
The officers and crew OF the St Olaf
were: p. T. Lemaistre, captain; Louis
Caron, first mate; Charles Boudreau, sec
ond mate; T. T. Veit, purser; Joseph T..
Remblay, steward; Joseph Roy, cook; Art
Lamarie, Joseph Gauthier, Sam Doyle,
William Blainey, seamen; Amede Wig
neautt, lamp trimmer; Joseph Arseneau,
cabin boy; Gus Laheur, mess room boy;
Eugene Belanger. chief engineer; James
Brumell, second engineer; Wilfred Belan-
ger, third engineer; Odilon Cormier, John
Gagne and Thomas Doyle, firemen. Pas
sengers: Louis Gagnon, of Pentecost, on
with his brothers; Joseph Bacon, Clarence
Bond, Jeremy Childs, Michael Mahar, Shell
drake; Napoleon Beaudin, st. Johns River,
and Miss Marie Page, Thunder River. The
latter's body has been found
As soon as the news of the wreck
reached Seven Islands a searching party
went out to attempt to rescue any of the
shipwrecked people, If possible, but this
was impossible, as everyone aboard the
vessel seems to have been lost. News
has been received here tonight that the
st. Olaf is lying the rocks and at low
tide two feet of her hull can be seen out
of the water. The residents of Seven
Islands searching the shores for bodies,
but have not returned up to 5 o'clock this
evening.
The place where the steamer was
wrecked is about seven miles off Seven
Islands and about three hundred miles
from this port, on the north shore of the
Gulf Of st. Lawrence.
