SKIrlS OFF GOLD LIKE GREAT.
New rIethod of Extracting Metal
from Base Ores.

Salem, Ore, April ga new
method for extracting gold from
base ores has been developed by
resident of this city. After years
Of effort the process has been per-
fected and lately practical demon
STATIONS of its success have been
given. The process is said to have
yielded three times as much gold as
could have been obtained by the
usual smelling process. Briefly,
the process separates the gold from
the ore, which is put through vari-
GUS solutions after crushing. After
settling COR twelve hours the liquid
is skinned like cream, the gold be-
ing taken off the top where it rises
like a thick scum. 1t is claimed by
the discoverer that the process ma
lures latent gold, which cannot be
secured by other process. 1t is be-
lieved by experts that the new pro
cess will greatly increase the amount
saved, espe cially from ores of low
grade.

FOUR STRAIGHT
OUT ARMY POSTS
THEY ARE SITUATED IN THE
UNITED STATES.
NO UNIFORMS ARE WORN
Ex-Sergeaut of British Army
Makes and Expose---It Bears
Ear-rIarks of Truth.

New York, April 90 The World
publishes today exclusive information
obtained form Sergeant James I. Car
mody, who was honorably dischai god
Commission in this country, after
eight months service, showing that the
British War Office is maintaining fou
straight-out army posts in the United
States, and conducting them too on a
strictly military pasis. The posts are
at Chalmette, La, and Lathrop, Mis-
souri,.
Carmody declares that four British
military establishments are now main
tanned on the neutral soil of the Uni
ted States; that these military de-
pots in Louisiana and Missouri are con-
Quoted precisely in the same way, and
by men under the same discipline, as
like remount establishments in Eng
land, South Africa and Canada, except
that the Kings officers on duty wear
no uniforms. That officers of the war
supply depots in America were ordered
on duty here by the British War
Office under whose direct c~ntrol
they are. That service in this coun-
try, while considered desirable,
counts as war service and helps to
promotion. That vast majority Of
the officers on duty in the United
States have been detached from regu-
lar regiments. Col DeBurgh, the
officer in command heere, is assistant
inspector of remounts of the British
Army; and the British Admiralty
works in accord with the army supply
camps i'll the United States and en-
cages transportation to carry horses
and mules from New Orleans to South
Africa. The service is carried ON
without regard to expenditure, which
generosity is intended to paoify the
Ameri cans and keep them quiet. The
off cial figures prove that up to Octo-
Der last, 2S9, 600 horse and mules had
been shipped from the United States
to South Africa.
Carmody has credentials to show his
authority to get information.

CONDUCTOR is
STILL ON DUTY
SENATOR 10NEY FEELS A
GREAT RESENTMENT.
STREET CAR ERACAS
The Company will not Fire" Its
Employe Till He Is Proven TO
Have Made an Assault.

Washington, April %. Since the
the appearance Of, Senator Money,
and the other participants in the
fracas last week in the Police Court,
there have been TO important new
developments in the case. The Dis
trict Commission have received the
charges made by the Mississippi
Senator against Fireman Hooper,
and it is likely that he will be placed
upon trial before a trial board,
and if found guilty of the charges
as alleged by the Senator he will
doubtless be dismissedfrom the dis
trict service. This, however, is not
likely to take place until after the
cases are disposed of in the Police
Court this week. The Senator
seems to bear more resentment
against Hooper than he does against
Conductor Shaner, but at the same
time he is making every effort to
la ,e both of his assailants properly
punished, and if he does rot, it will
not be his fault. The street railroad
company is making thorough in
vestigation into the case, and mean
while the conductor is on duty as
usual If he is found to be in the
blame for the unfortunate quarrel
with the Mississippi Senator his
dismissal from the services of the
company will follow, but the officials
otthe company say that they will re-
quire the Senator to prove that
Shaner did violate the rules of the
company in demanding payment of
the fare, or that the Senator leave
the car.
Much interest is evinced among
the Mississippi delegation in the
case, and the indications are that
when it is again called up in the
Police Court that the delegation will
be present in good numbers. The
sympathy of the delegation is natur-
ally with the Mississippi Senator,
though it is said that he is able to
fight the case for the dismissal of
the two men without any aid, and in
fact does not desire any from other
members. The Senator has been a
warm supporter of the policy of lib
eral appropriations for the District
Of Columbia, and has always been
regarded as one of the strong friends
Of the district, and his influence at
the District Offices is therefore
stronger than itmight otherwise be.

TO ISSUE 5000, 900 BONDS

Company at Jersey City today.
The purpose of the meeting is to
vote on proposition to issues6, 000,-
600 worth OF gold bonds bearing 8
per cent. interest to meet the cost of
additional lands purchased recently.
The Union Trust Company of Pitts
burg has agreed to take the entire
issue in bonds of $25, 900 units. The
explanation given for the issue is
that it became necessary to purchase
large tracts of land at enhanced val
ues and that the sinking fund Of the

THE RAILROAD QUESTION
in Rates Attracted
Much Attention.

Washington, April. 80. The railroad
question is attracting public attention
to an unusual degree. Frequent dis
closures like that in Chicago in Janu-
ary making it clear that much of the
growth of monopoly is caused by pref
srence in transportation rates, and
:hat were all men treated alike by the
great public service corporations,
large part of what is Objectionable in
,he trusts would disappear. A relief
oy injunction, forbidding other than
ariff rates, should be obeyed. The
outlook for legislation to strengthen

Naval evolution is very interesting,
says the Boston Journal. There was
first the torpedo-boat, devised for the
purpose of blowing great warships
out of the water. Then there was the
torpedo-boat destroyer, designed to at
tend to the torpedo-boats Now we
have new craft, the destroyer of
torpedo-boat destroyers, the latest
specimen of which has been built for
the Russian Navy. She is called the
Noyik, and has a speed of twenty
five knots. a small freeboard and su.
perstructure to keep her from being
observed, and large radius of action
and good crew accommodation. But
the weak part of the design Is that the
immense engines cannot be kept below
the water-line, but protrude above thu
armor deck, working under an armor
i0me.

The United States Bureau of Sta
tistics has issued an abstract in which
the growth of the nation in one century
is shown In 1900 the area of its ter
ritory comprised 27,s44 square miles:
in 1900, exclusive of Hawaii and
Alaska, 3,025, 900 square miles In 1900
the imports were $91 100000 and the
exports S71,OO0.000, imports thus ex-
ceeding exports s2o,00o000. In 1901.
imports amounted to $500, 100000 and
exports to 81, 4s7, 100000. or $G64000,-
600 in excess Of imports. The imports
in 1901 were thus nine times and the
exports twenty-one times as great as
those of 1900 These figures tell in
brief the marvellous territorial and
commercial development of the Repub.
lie in 100 yaers. What may be ex-
pected of it in another century?

One Of the main motives Of misers
which the London Spectator recognizes
is the passion for collecting. Asiaties
often hoard coin and jewels to theit
own hurt, knowing that their posses
sion involves extreme danger; and
there are two authentic stories of great
accumulations of gold coin made by
Engllshmen who seemed to derive
pleasure from its actual sight and
touch. These are, however, rather IL
Illustrations Of the collector mania, so
often described and analysed in the

Of true miserliness. which is based,
we are convinced, rather ON fear than
on the passion of boarding.
