On Tuesday new Republic sprang
into existence, when Thomas Estrada
Palma was inaugurated as President of
Cuba and the reins ofgovernment were
turned over to him by the United States,
after holding them for period of more
than three years. The Stars aud Stripes
have been replaced by the flag of the
Cuban Republic and the long cherished
ambition of the island has at last been
realized-that of free and independent
government Spain for nearly four cen
turtles held tyrannical sway over the island
aud her control was marked by trail OF
blood and oppression, but Cuba has at
last witnessed the drawn of new era
which has every indication of being one
of peace and prosperity. Part of the
American military force now in the
island will remain until Cuba perfects its
own military establishment, and Uncle
Sam will consequently have all eye on his
little sister while she is building up her
government.

EXTRACTING GOLD FROM ORE.
Some of the Various Processes by
Which the Precious Metal Is
Freed from the Rock,

The three principal ways in which
gold is found in nature are these:
There are small particles of the pure
metal mixed with sand or gravel; sim
liar particles or larger ones of free
gold are embedded in quartz veins,
and the gold is often combined chem
tcally with sui phur and other sub
stances, In the first case the dirt is
washed In pan or sluice, when
gravity separates the precious metal
from the other solid materials. In
the second the ore is pulveriZed in a
"stamp MILL" and then carried by
water over copper plates coated with
mercury. The last named substance
exhibits a curious attraction for the
gold, and retains it while the quartz
and water flow onward Subseuuent-
ly, the mercury, with its precious bur-
den, is scraped off from the plates and
separated from the gold by straining
through buckskin and heating it to a
point where the remaining mercury
evaporates. Mercury is sometimes
used in hydraulic mining.
These two processes, saws the New
York Tribune, panning and ANAL
gamation, are almost entirely mechan-
zeal. But chemical methods are re-
quired in the third case. The princi-
pie employed is to mix with the ore
some substance which will take the
gold away from its immediate asso-
ciate (Which is generally sulphur),
and then persuade the new ally to re-
lax its grip.
One of the favorite chemical PROF.
esses used is cyanide of potassium for
this purpose. The sulphuret, or sui
phide, is sometimes roasted, and al
ways pulveriZed, the fineness of the
product being insured by sitting. 1t
is occasionally considered necessary
to resort to another preliminary step,
soaking this pulverized stuff for
short time in solution of caustic al
kali. The cyanide, having been dis
solved in water, now replaces the
aikali in ting tank, and covers the ore
for at least 10 hours, and sometimes
longer. This fluid eats the gold out
of the sHiphuret Tor sulphide), and
holds the precious metal in suspen=
sion. The next step is to persuade 1t
to let 90.
The usual plan is to construct lot
of shallow boxes with wirecloth bot
toms, and fill them with zinc shavings.
These sleeves are set in vessel of such
design that the cyanide solution can
be gently forced upward and down
ward through the shaSiRgs. In some
way or other the gold is thus iiber-
ated and deposited in the form of a
powder, sometimes dark and some
times white, on the shavings. The
separation of the preciptatp from the
zinc is then effected by mechanical
means.
The cyanide solution can be used
over and over again. Although the
process looks simple, great care must
be exercised in conducting it or it will
not pay to use 1t. This particular
method is often employed with low
grade ores or the "tailings" of a
quartz mill, in which small quantities
of gold remain.

Last Thursday the President reviewed
the Washington High School Cadets.
Nor did he follow the custom of former
Presidents and review them from stand,
on the contrary he walked the length of
the regimental line, passing in front and
then behind the line and making a care
full inspection. AS he came upon the son

the organization movement says: "The

1t seems that Mr.. Bryan informed the

that he would like to have the question
of the re-adoption of the Chicago and
Kansas City platforms settled in the
primaries. So far, majority of delegates
chosen to attend state conventions are in
favor of the complete reahirmation OF
these platforms. Hill, German, Lamont

WILL PREclPITATE FIGHT
severiese Jaunt Will Be cause of .
 Scrap

Claremore, I. T., Dec. 3.--It is ac-
 ccepted as a foregone conclusion that
 the inquiry Senator Beveridge and his fellow committeeman from the Sen
 a.e committee on Territories have
 been making through Oklahoma. New
 Mexico and Arizona will precipitate
 a free-for-all fight on the Statehood
 question whin the bill comes up in the
 Senate next week. The bill before the
 Senate is known at the Tri-State bill
 and provides for the admission of New Mexico and Arizona to Statehood
 and the creation of sing'e state out of Oklahoma and Indian territories. The Tri-State bill was the result of the efforts of MT. Flynn, the delegate from Oklahoma, who felt so sure of it's pas.
 sage by the Senate that he declined a renomination 10 the House, with the intention of being one Of the first Senators from the new state.
 In both Oklahoma and Indian terri tories, however, there is a large ele- meat which is strenuously opposed to i, combining the two into one state.
 They favor single statehood and are
 working hard to promote their cause. 1 Citizens of Oklahoma object to the ! joint Statehood proposition on the
 ground that the Indian territory is far
 behind their territory in progress, de-
 velopment and civilization, while a large cement of the Indian territory people are of the opinion that Okla
 homa would have all the best of it
 in the combination deal.
 The single Statehood advocates of ] fn
 come together for the promotion of their plans. To this end single Statehood convention composed of ! nearly 500 delegates from each of the
 two territories assembled here today
 The purpose of the convention is to | frame a bill that will be introduced as a substitute for the omnibus bill, and which will provide for the making | of single state of the territory of Oklahoma and the Indian territory.

ANNUAL REPORT OF
 TIE CONTROLLER
DETAILED STATEMENT OF RE. SOURCES AND LIABILITIES
 OF NATIONAL BANKS.

The Aggregate Resources Increase
 Nearly Half Billion Dollars in One Year.
 Washington Dec 3.-The annual re. port of William B. Ridgely. Comptroll. CT of the Currency, has been prepared for transmission to congress. The re- port starts with a table giving a de tailed statement of the resources and liabilities of all the national banks of the United States, as shown by the five reports of condition made in re sponse to the call of the comptroller.
 From this table it appears that on September IS, 1902, the date of the last call, 4,601 associations reported with aggregate resources of s6,113.92s,. 912.50. The loans and discounts amounted to $3,20S, ,127 ,4S0.6S, or more than 50 percent of the total resources of the banks. The items of surplus and undivided profits amounted, re spectively, to $326, ,393, ,953.66 and s169 216,512.03. The individual deposits reached the highest point in the ex. istence of the national banking system s3,209, ,273, ,s93.93. There was due to approved reserve agents, other nation al banks, state banks and bankers trust companies, and savings banks the sum of $1,2G0,341 .233.39.
 From September 30. 1901, to Sep tember 15, 1902, there was an increase of s41S,5S1 ,6l7.54 in the aggregate re sources of the reporting banks, the principal items of interest being. loans and discounts, $261 511 ,562.29 United States bonds, s12,57o,5 ,520; due from national and other banks. s35,217, 372.29. There was an increase in capital stock of $50, 573; in sur plus and other profits of s65, ,o4S, ,357 .S1 and ia individual deposits of s271, 520, ,660.6o.
 Comparing conditions on September Q 30. 1892, with those shown in the last report, it will be seen that the mum Der of active associations has incrsas ed from 3,773 to 4,601, or net in crease of BPS. The aggregate re sources of the associations increased during the decade s2.6V3 .S34 ,615; loans and discounts. s1,109, ,0S6, ,393; bonds on deposit as security for circu lation, S1o0, ,97S, ,460, and specie and legal tender notes, s157, 7,119,741 and s37. .4S9 ,673, respectively. While tht capital of the associations increased only to the extent of s1S,962. .402, the surplus and undivided profits are TOW greater than in 1892 by si55, .2S7 The volume of individual deposits in creased from $1,765. .422, ,9S4 to s3,20S, 273, ,s94, or nearly S2 per cent.

WASHINGTON LETTER
rspecia, correspondence.,

The beautiful floral emblems with which several of the public parks throughout the city were decorated in honor of the Grand Army of the Re public had meaning to the survivors of the great civil war that can hardly be understood by this generation. The3 represented the badges which designat- cd the twenty-four army corps into which the United States army was di- v:ded during the last two years of the war. These badges were worn on the caps of the men and were delineated upon the canras covers of the ammuni- tion, supply and baggage wagons of the various corps. They were emila- zoned upon brigade. division and corps headquarters flags in the national col ors-rc1 for the first division. white for the second division and blue for tkc third.
 It was a happy thought that gave to the soldiers something tangible to fight and to die for. Before the corps were distinguished by badges hundreds of thousands sacrificed their lives in de fense of their flag and country, but there was not the fierce rivalry that an imated the soldiers of one particular corps in competition with another when they stood in line of battle. While all were fighting in common cause under the stars and stripes, each soldier felt special pride in his corps. The badge that designated it became an object of veneration and affection.

WANTS HUNTINGTON INVENTORY


 New York, Dec. 3.-In the Surro- gates court motion to compel the executors of the estate of c. P. Hunt ingtoE to file an inventory, came up for argument today. Walter Mors- head of London and New York brings the action on behalf of himself and other stockholders of the Central Pa cifc railroad. Mir Morshead has for some years been active in presenting his claims against those who managed the deals by which the Southern Pa oiic absorbed the Central Pacific. 1t is his claim that Collis P. Huntington, Leland Stanford. Charles Crocker and Mark Hopkins fradulen.v obtained $100, 900 900 belonging to the stock holders. He asserts that as directors of the Central Pacific they turned over 10 the construction companies con- trolled by them, $163 ,o00, 900, includ- inx s30, ,000, 900 of government bonds loaned for building the road. Of this sum he states that but $60.00O, 900 was expended in construction and equipment, and that the other money was pocketed by the big four"
 The defendants in the suit are Charles H. Tweed, Isaac B. Gates, and Arabella Huntington, and the Central Pacific railroad. The inventory is asked that the prosecution may bring action against the others if the estate is not sufficient to stisfy the claim
