SUZERAINTY OVER CUBA CERTAIN
Administration Plans to Shape the Is
lands Constitution.

Washington, July Cot is under
stood that the President and General
Wood have agreed on September -
as the time for holding the elections
in Cuba for delegates to the consti-
tutiOnal convention, that is to be
called for the purporse of formu'at-
ing a constitution for an independent
government for Cuba.
On the return of General Wood to
Cuba he will confer with the leaders
OF the Cuban people as to the details
of the election, and to what restric-
tiOns should be placed upon univer-
sal suffrage in the island
1t is now hoped that the constitu-
tional convention will be held before
the end of the year, and if possible
as early as October 10.
There is no doubt that any consti-
tuition that may be formed will be
scrutinized carefully by the president
and possibly by congress, before it is
allowed to go into operation, for it
is the settled conviction that Cuba
should not be permitted to make
treaties with foreign nations except
through the United States, nor should
the people be allowed to involve the
island in debt unless authorized to
do so by this government.

Topeka, Kan, July 20.-No one

republican organ to the effect that

pearing young lady They went on
wedding tour to St. Louis and on
their return, about July 1st, Har-
mon resumed work and continued on
duty till Thursday morning, when he
surprised the company employees by
rendering his resignation. Until that
time nothing wrong had been suspect
ed, but knowing his means to be linn
tied, Agent Bailey decided it best to
investigate. On examination he
found several hundred dollars worth
of coupon tickets missing No one
having access to the coupon case ex
cept Messrs. Bailey and Harmon, it
was decided to cause Harmon's ar
rest Immediately
When arrested one sixty dollar
ticket was found on his pesOn, and
after sweating him, he told where
others were hid as well as disclosing
the fact that he had sold some tickets
in ST. Louis, when there on his we'd
ding trip Harmon waived aprelim-
mary trial and was taken to Butler
last night to await the action of the
grand jury.

DEAL FOR TOM THUMB,

One of the biggest deals thai has yet
been made in Republic properties is now
pending. 1t is the transfer of the Tom
Thumb mine to a Canadian company
and from them into English hands,. The
superintendent of the property has been
in Spokane for the past few days and
1T is supposed his visit has had some
thing to do with the deal.
While the officers of the company are
reticent about the transaction, yet it is
known that the stock is being bought
up at a good figure and the deal is fairly
certain of going through. The new COM
pany has a big scheme on foot after the
control of the property is secured and
the stock is in the hands of the new
members. Considerable of the TSm
Thumb stock is owned by Spokane men.

NEW REGION.

The mining department of the Russian
government has definitely decided to
open the mineral region in northwestern
siberia, bordering on the Okhotsk sea, to
the mining industry; and will, on Jan.
next, invite tenders from Russians and
Foreigners for it's occupancy. The district
is a very extensive one. covering fully
l,6VO miles of coast line. 1t is all situated
between the 50th and Goth degree OF
north latitude. On the east coast OF
North America, the corresponding local
ity,, is from the island of Newfoundland
to the south cape of Greenland, including
about all of the coast of Labrador. And
the climate on the shores of the Okhotsk
and in the interior and back of it, is not
milk that of desolate and unsettled
Labrador.
A few miles back from the sea rise the
Stanovo chain of mountains, which is a
direct in Asia of the Rock
les. Their altitude, however is not great.
but sufficient to make the entire region
very unacceptable and unattractive ex-
cepting during a few months in the sum-
mer. However,, there seems to be no
doubt of their richness in gold and other
metals. For several years past, Amerf-
can prospectors have been pioneering the
country, having made their way there
across Boring sea. The peninsula of Kam-
schatka, which hes between the Bering
n Okhotsk seas. has been particularly
well looked over, as pioneering goes. It

"When the present smelter was de-
signed the MacDougall furnaces were
taken under consideration by the design
ing engineers, but We're not adopted for
the reason that these furnace had not
then been long enough in practical opel-
alton to demonstrate their superior ad-
vantages. They have, however. now been
in operation at both Anaconda and
Great Falls sufficiently long to prove
them to be the most economical and dur
able roasting furnaces known. They will
save our existing furnace so cents per
ton. This saving on a capacity of 225
tons per day means $24, 637 per year.
Eight of these roasting furnaces are being
installed, and they are identical with
those at Anaconda and Great Falls,
where they treat respectively 40 and from
40 to 80 tons of ore each day.
The immediate future policy will be to
get the mine and smelter on a basis of
410 tons a day as rapidly as possible, and
continue systematically the DEVELOPMENT
OF the existing ore bodies and a search
for others, which there is every reason
to believe exist on the company's prop
erty."

RESULTS OF ALASKA BUSHES.

Washington state is bearing some of
the burden that has resulted from the
rushes after gold in Klondike and Cape

some of the people, particularly from
eastern cities. who participated in those
feverish rushes Were light-headed. They
spent all their money in going north. and
not a few of them returned penniless
and u of their minds and have found
a sad home in the asylum for the insane
at Ste~ilacoonl.
ID. p. Jensen, pharmaceutical super.
visor at the big asylum, is in Spokane at
tending the meetings of the druggists.
Speaking of his work. he said: 1--WE have
an immense institution at Fort Stella
COON. The state buildings and equip
ment there must reach in value not less
than $3.50, 900. We have 700 patients. di-
vided up into 10 wards.
The percentage of insane is CROWNS

for. Uight-headed people come out here
to get rich. They come here and expose
themselves to all sorts of hardshfps
which they cannot stand. The Klondike
rush gave as a good many patients, the
Cape Nome rush gave us a number more.
