Crude petr0lehm advanced nearly
$20, 800, 600 or about foryt-Ave Per

prices, the production increasing less
than four per cent. The value Of the
natural gas consumed In 1899 IL placed

. very small increase.
Lead production decreased six per

EUROPEAN POWERS EMPLOY
DlLATORY TACTICS in CHINA

Washington, Nov. 24.-Assurances OF
. particularly gatifying and important
character, declaring their pupose to act
conjointly and in harmony to effect n
prompt settlement Of the Chinese cues
ton, were to-day given the United
States by Russia, Germany, Great Bri-
tain, France and Japan. These declar.
atoms Of the five powers are due to the
diplomacy Of the President and Secre-
tary Hay.
Developments in Pekin had shown
conclusively that none Of the ministers
were alive to the importance Of formu-
lating demands with which the Chinese
government could comply. PROPOSE
tons were being made, especially by
representatives Of the European pow
ers, whose policies were regarded with
suspicion, the adoption Of which could
only result in rejection by the Chinese
government and the resumption of hos
dlit1es.
1t was therefore decided that in the
interest Of q prompt settlement 1t was
desirable to appeal to the powers d.
rect. An identical note was therefore
addressed to the interested govern
ments In Europe and Japan and the
correspondence which followed cul-
minated In the assurances referred to-
These assurances repeat the declara-
tons which made connection with the
endorsement of the Anglo German
agreement and would seem on their
face to show that the powers are act.

logical survey, has Just complsted the
annual summary Of the mineral pro-
ductton Of the United States from 1890

The total value os an the minerals
produced during the Last calendar year
amounted to $676, ,000, ,041. asrinst 4e11,-
SO. 10 In 1889, an tnerease Of $z76,-

in the history Of the mineral industry.
The previous largest increase was from
1894 to 1896, when the value advanced
eighteen per cent. yi fi@
The production from 1890 to 1893 has
exceeded $500. 600. 600 In every year ex-
cept two. the panic years Of 1893 and
1884. The average yearly production

1851. .722, ,4S6, or fifty-eisht, per cent. In
excess Of the average for that period.
The greatest increase in 1899 was in
the value Of the pig iron product, which
increased to SPAS. IT., ,654, or about ITO
per cent. over 1893. The enormous In
crease was due to the phenomenal de-
mand and high prices.
The increase in coal production added
over $4a,O00.O00, or twenty-three per

PEARY'S DASH FOR THE POLE
MAY PROVE SUCCESSFUL

New York, Nov. c6.-Herbert L.
Bridgman. secretary Of the Peary Arc
tic Club, tonight gave out extracts
from letters sent by Lieutenant Peary,
the Arctic explorer, to his wife. She
did not receive them, having started
to rejoin her husband last August,
without his knowledge. She was at
Disco, Greenland, on August Goth.
The letters of Peary's were carried
by natives to the camp of the Stein
party. at Cape Sabine, and thence con-
veyed to Cape York by DIR. Kahn, who
boarded the steam whaler Eclipse on
June 9th and was landed by her at
Dundee, Scotland. on the 9th instant.
Following are the letter extracts fur
nished by Mr.. BridgIpan:
Fort Congo, Lady franklin Bay,
March 81, 1000.-Just, line to 60
down to a whaler by returning natives.
I arrived here at midnight on the 18th,
twenty-four days from Etah. Six and
one-half days Of this time we were held
in camp by heavy Wind storms. The
doctor and Hensen each left Ntah with
natives before we arrived here. The
journey was q, tedious one owing to the
storms, but not an uncomfortable one
for me. A number of dogs died on the
way, but had an ample number for
the work ahead. Twenty-one musk
oxen were killed in sight Of the fort
the day before arrived; we have an
abundant supply Of fresh meat.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION
CONGRESS- PROCEEDINGS

Chicago, Nov. 24-Trouble arose in
the meeting Of the Irrigation Congress
yesterday afternoon, when the report
Of the committee on permanent organ
ization WIS presented.
1t named Buffalo for the session OF
1901 and this causes SO vigorous pro-
test from the western delegates that q
decision was delayed until to-day.
The report honored Colorado by nam
ing Thomas F. Walsh as the next presi-
dent Of the national association.
Frederick v. Coville, .botanist, of the
ture, spoke about "New Crops for Arid
Lands" He said In part:
In transforming the plains and the
deserts from a purely grazing region
to one in which crop growing shall as
sumo an important position, both the
ory and costly experience Indicate that
the varieties Of fruits, cereals and
other crops most successful in the
humid East are failures in the arid
West. The most pronounced successes
in aria land agriculture have come
from crops introduced into the United
States from those ports Of the world
in which the oalture OF arid lands hns
been practiced for centuries.
