Washington, Jan. 20.-The following
executive order has been issued, directed
to each executive department:
The attention of the department i,
hereby called to the provisions of the
laws giving preference to veterans in an,
pointment and retention.
The president desires that, wherever
the needs of the service will justify and
the law will permit, preference shall be
given alike in appointment and retention
to honorably discharged veterans of the
ciVlI war who are fit and well qualified
to perform the duties of the places which
they seek and are filing.

british COLUMBIA.

A quantity of rich ore has been raw
hided down from the Wilson mine and
is now ready for shipment.
The Silver Glance mine at Bear Lake
has made a shipment of car of high
grade ore and has another ready.
The stamp mill at the Second Relief
mine has had a somewhat short run.
1t has only been completed about a
month, and for some unexplained rea-
son the mine has been closed down.
The payroll of the Sullivan Mining
company for the employees on it's new
smelling plant at Marysville, B. c., for
January reached about $1,000. The men
are paid on the 10th day of the month,
and bills for supplies are paid on the
18th.
Superintendent ]. S. Austin of the
Marysville smelter was in Denver, Col,
last week, purchasing machinery for
the plant. Work on the plant is being
rushed, and the officials here say that
they will be ready to blow in" the
smelter by the first of June.
At Nelson the Goodenough Mines,
Ltd, after issuing checks for a divi-
dend of one cent share, as promised
in December, decided to close down the
mines on account of the prevailing
low price of lead. The properties will
remain closed at least until the annual
stockholders meeting April 8, when flu
ture plans will be discussed and decided
upon.
Contrary to expectation, it has been
made known that work will not be re-
sumed on the Tamarac mine at Ymir
until the spring. A fine. body of ore is
being developed on the Commodore
mine, which lies within few hundred
feet of the Ymir cyanide plant. The
No. 2 tunnel, on which o. Pointer has
contract, has reached to 1856 feet and
the No. to 100 feet. Fine galena ore
is exposed on both sides.
The big cyanide plant at the Ymir
mine is now in the last stages of con-
struction and will be in operation some
time during the next month. The out.
put returns for January will probably
be considerably higher than those of
the past few months, as shipments of
the rich crude ore have been resumed.
This ore averages in the neighborhood
of 500 per ton and is sent straight to
the smelter. Very little of that class
OF ore was taken out during the year
which has just closed

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report on trade last
week says:
The usual January "thaw" in prices
arrived this week. and securities, food
products, particularly the cereals, pork
and dairy products, coffee and sugar,
among the groceries, and copper among
the metals, have all weakened and
closed lower on the week. In distribu-
tive trade the situation has certainly
improved. A larger spring business has
been done in cotton and wooden goods.
Advices from the west are of an en-
larged spring jobbing business and col
lections remain satisfactory. North
west advices are particularly good,
agricultural implements and dry goods
being ordered and shipped In large vol
ume. Trade in the southwest continues
satisfactory, but the lack of needed
moisture for the winter wheat crop is
a disturbing element, tending to dull
the edge of trade. 1t is to be noted also
that rain is needed in the wheat grow
ing sections of California. More is do
ing in leading eastern textile markets,
~ luIO dllu SlHShdl1o lhONlhS WCll w I'LL
jobbers, while a good business is also
reported in wool goods, though the new
prices made are rather lower than ex-
pected. There is even some improve
ment noted in southern trade, largely
the result of the firmer tone of raw
cotton.
Among the industries iron and steel
are easily first in the volume of new
business and in production. although
the car shortage is shown to have ma
terially reduced the December output
or pig iron. Sales of the latter this
week have been very heavy, fully 160,-
600 tons having been taken, most of it
at Pittsburg and the bulk of it for de-
livery in the latter part of the year.
Prompt deliveries command a premium
and the same is true of steel billets.
Conservatism in the matter of advanc-
ing pig iron prices is still noted. Cop
per has been "cut to the bone" this
week, and IL cents is the nominal price,
but claims are made as low as 10 IL
cents, without any particular improve
ment in demand reported, although ex-
ports are large.
The boot and shoe industry looks for
ward confidently to an active spring
| business.
Business failures in the United
States for the week number 341,
against 456 last week, $40 in this week
last year, 255 in 1900, 262 in 1899 and
800 in 1898.

ing more than six feet tall, while

ly tall. Vice Admiral Won Seckendorff,
who will also be with the party, is
six feet two inches tall and very
large of frame.

from which there have been selected
nearly 1000 of the choicest pieces for
use at Prince Henry's banquet on
board the Hohenzollern at New York,
compose one of the richest collections
of Europe, and is valued at upwards
of 100000 marks. 1t embraces EN-
peror Williams wedding gift, present
ed by SO Prussian cities. silver table
service for so persons, valued at A.
600 marks, and many rare pieces Of
silver dating from the time of Freder-
ick the Great and Frederick William l.
Among the wonders in the Rittersaal
in the old castle at Berlin, is silver
buffet eight metres wide, reaching
from the floor to the ceiling. and bear
ing among others nine huge silver tu-
reens, SO inches in diameter.

from Germany handsome present for
Miss Roosevelt from the emperor in
recognition and as a souvenir of her
part in the launching of the royal
yacht.

Chicago, Jan. 20.-The Record Herald
says:
Professor Charles w. Pearson of the
chair of English literature in the North
western university, which is conducted
under Methodist auspices, has thrown a
bomb into the ranks of Methodism in Ev-
anston, the seat of the university, by CIV
ing out for publication statement of
his belief that biblical infallibility is a
superstitous and hurtful tradition and
that the biblical stories of Christ bring
ing the dead to life and of his walking
on the water and feeding the multitude
with the loaves and fishes were mere
poetic fancies, incredible and untrue.
Professor Pearson declares that the pol
icy of the Methodists is one of inactiv.
ity, obstruction and Jesuitical silence on
the part of leaders of the churches. but
are not held by the body of the church.
lie says that most of the present church
teaching and that most of the Sunday
school teaching is almost farcical and en-,
tirely inadequate.

GENERAL CHAFFEE REPORTS
MILITARY VIEW OF AFFAIRS.
I'm Several Places Guerrilla
Warfare Continues-Charact of
Hard 10 Overcome-They Pose as
Friends ana Act rs Enemies.

Manila.-General Chaffee, in the an
nual report which has just been issued
sums up the situation from the mill
tary point of view by saying that the
provinces of Batangas and Laguna, in
southern LuZon, and the islands OF
Samar, Mindoro and Cebu, constitute
the disturbed area in which bodies of
insurgents in force are to be found.
General Chaffee says the prolonga-
ton of guerilla warfare is due to the
physical character of the country and
to the nature of the warfare carried on
hour pose as friends and act as enc
mics; to the humanity displayed by
the American troops, of which the in
surgents take advantage, and to the
fear of assassination on the part of
those natives who are friendly disposed
toward the Americans, should they give
the latter information concerning the
movements or whereabouts of the in
surgents.
Municipal and provisional govern
ments are being organized. These
governments have not yet received a
practical trial. They constitute the
only certain and reliable methods OF
assuring the progress of the Filipinos
towards self government
According to the opinion of army Of
ticers the disaster to Company c of the
Ninth Infantry, at Batangas, Samar,
when 48 men were killed, is attributed
to the too great confidence OF these men
in the natives, which they assumed to
be pacified.
In the same report Judge Advocate
Groebeck says the suppression of
brigandage will probably be one of the
most trying problems of the future.
Il the military arm be left free to deal
with the marauders there is no doubt
of their final suppression. But the
presence of the civil government COM
plicates the situation considerably.
With the civil and military authorities
working in harmony, says Judge Groe-
beck, no evil results should be antici-
pated.

company at that place, in which it is

Among the dead are Frank Marquis,

cumulated. The men had unprotected
