Mystery Of "Rusty" Gold.

The mystery Of "rusty" gold, or gold
that we'll not amalgamate, has never yet
been satisfactorily solved. Theoretical
metallurgists state that il Is a condition In
which the grains or scales 81 the metal
are covered with "metallic OXIDE" but
do not state what oxide or what metal.
Practical metallurgists do not attempt to
explain It, but hope the day may come
when II will be understood. Persistent
rubbing or grinding will often change
"rusty" to "live" gold; sometimes acids
will have the same effect, and sometimes
alkalies. One Of the most likely iheo.
ries on the subject Is that the particles Of
the precious metals are enveloped In o
film Of very finely divided clay or tale
and that Is the reason Of Its suspension in
water. Again II Is asserted that the trou.
bic Is always with the mercury and NOT
with the gold.

CONFLICTING STORIES.

II Is rumored that tn Iu. the missing
NiNeroy OF the province of Chi Lii mas
committed suicide. Various conflict
ing stories are published OF the man
ner of General Nleh's death. II is
stated that when the allies entered the
native city OF Tien TSin they found
the Chinese dead piled breast high and
II was feared that this would result
in an outbreak of pestilence. Sixteen
OF the captured guns are quite modern
weapons.
The Shanghai correspondent Of the
Times expresses doubt that the South
ern Ficeroys Will be able to withstand
the pressure of the provincial officials
to Join the anti-foreign movement. He
thinks that already there are signs OF
waVerng on the part of the Niceroy
of Nan Kin, I.iu Kan Yih. and says:
1T is admitted at Nan Kin that Liu' s
authority is now insufficient To guar
antec the maintenance of law and or

suls ut the Yang Use ports are arrang-
ing for the departure of the woman

1T is inevitable that the mandarins
as a body should sympathize with

INDIGNATION.
This correspondent confirms the
statement of the correspondent of the
Daily Express regarding the indiGna-
ton caused by the British reception or
Ii Hung Chang at Hong Kong. He
says ii is interpreted by the natives as
weakness on the part of the allies, and
he asks why Ii Hung Chang could not
have been detained until information
had been received from Pekin.

AUTHENTICITY LACKING.

Washington. July 19.-mGuiry at the
state Department developed the fact
that no such circular as that described
in the Rome dispatch as having been
received from NJ. De.casse has reached
here. While our Government and that
at Paris appear to be pursuing exactly
the same limo of policy as to China, and
consequently are moving forward to-
ward the common objects without fric-
ton, ii has not been deemed necessary
or cXpcdient TO attempt to reduce TO
form ana substance an agreement up
on which common action should be
had. This statement is equally true
as to Germany and other Powers. Our
Government has not found it polite TO
embark upon any joint formal pro-
gram beyond the matters touched up
on in the Identical note of July 81
defining the objects OF the United
States in China.
In French official quarters here the
Rome report is denied with equal po-
sitiveness. MIR. Hay and NJ. Thlebaut
have discussed a number of the de-
tails constantly arising. but it can be
stated positively that at no time has
anything like q circular from NJ. Del
cassc. proposing an agreement of the
Powers IA to China being presented.
Just at present there nre no negotia-
tions of special Importance under con-
sideration. and certainly France is not
awaiting any response from the Uni
ted States to circular note.
