President Of Cuba.

The central board of scrutiny has
made public the following returns of
the election held on december 81 in
Cuba. Tomas Estrada Palma, the ma
tionalist candidate for the presidency
of Cuba, has So electors, while General
Bartholomew Masso, the democratic
candidate who withdrew from the
campaign, has eight electors.
tomas Estrada Palma was born at
Bayoma, Cuba. He studied law at the
University of Seville, but never prac-
ticed. He took part in the Cuban revo-
luton of 1S6S-7S, in the early part of
which his mother had been captured
and starved to death by the Spaniards.
Her death made him heir to a vast es-
tate, which the Spaniards confiscated.
He became president of the Cuban re-
public, but was captured in 1877 and
imprisoned until hostilities ceased in
1878. He then went to Honduras, be-
came a teacher, and afterwards post
master general. He married a daugh-
ter of President Guardiola. He came
to the United States and settled in
Central valley, Orange county, New
York. During the last revolution
was delegate at large and minister
plenipotentiary for the Cuban republic.

MARK HANNA VICTORIOUS
HAD A MAJORITY OF EIGHT.
Foraker Controlled the Senate and
Hanna the HOuse--McI&innOnf for
Speaker of the HOuse-Speeches
Were in Order-NO Compromise
Made.

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. BIN the re-
publican caucuses for the organization
of the general assembly, the Hanna
men secured control of the house and
the Foraker men of the senate. Some
of the nominations for officials of the
senate were made without opposition,
but there was a fight to finish" for
those of the house, especially for the
speakership. There was no compro-
mise in the case. In the senate the
senators make up the standing COM
mittees themselves. In the house the
speaker appoints all the committees
and the contest was primarily for the
speakership, with everything else as
secondary.
The republican senate caucus was
short and featureless, but the house
caucus was animated and lasted sew
eral hours. Representative Cole, in
presenting the name of w. S. McKin-
non of Ashtabula for speaker, denied
that McKinnOn's election could be
construed as humiliation of Senator
Foraker, whose reelection they all
desired
Representative Guerin, in present
ing the name of Aaron Price of Ath-
ems for speaker, repeated the state
ment that Price had been Endorsed
originally by both senators and other
republican leaders. He denounced
outside influences" and the threats to
make "one termers" out of certain
members. McKinnon was nominated
over Price on the first ballot by a
vote of 80 to 30.
After McKinnOn's address of ac-
ceptance Price was called out and
made the sensational speech of the
dav by nominating and declaring him
self for Hanna for reelection to the
senate two years hence. Price said
that he found it easier to get pledges
than votes and eulOgized Hanna and
McKinnon, to whom he credited his
defeat as men of the highest char
acter.
Burgess L. McElroy was nominated
for reelection as chief clerk of the
house over II. V. Speelman on the
first ballot by vote of 43 to %.
In the republican senate caucus
most of the time was devoted to the
selection of a committee to apportion
the standing committees. F. B. Arch
err, the Foraker candidate, was nomi-
mated for president pro TEN without
opposition. F. E. Scobey was nomi-
mated as chief clerk over w. B. Uni,
whose nomination Senator Hanna had
strenuously urged, by a vote of IA
to Z.

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreets report on trade last
week says:
Satisfaction with the old and re-
newed confidence in the new year are
the dominant features in the new
industrial, commercial and financial
situation. The week has naturally
been quiet to the verge Of dizziness as
regards new business, the main atten-
ton being concentrated in gathering
up the threads of old business, in stock
taking and in preparations for the flu
ture.
A conspicuous exception to the gen
eral quietness is found in the iron and
steel situation, which gains rather
than loses activity. Here, however, the
car shortage question cuts a disturb
ing figure and one which, in view OF
the advanced stage of the season, bids
fair to continue to unsettle both pro
duction and consumption considerably
The only appearance of weakness in
finished products is in wire and nails,
which are 81 per ton lower, owing to
increased competition of outside
makers.
Prices show few changes on the
week. The cereals are on the whole
higher, due mainly to the strength OF
wheat which still supports the coarser
grains. Small deliveries and firm ca
bles, with some better export buying
early, checked later by the advance,
coupled with good buying by the coun-
try. are the strengthening features.
Winter wheat crops are in the main
features.
Quietness is the feature in leather
and kindred trades, but an excess rath-
er than a loss in strength of price is
looked for Shoe shipments are small
err than of late, but still are in excess
of year ago.
Copper has been again cut, this time
to II cents for lake, and tin is also
lower, while lead is unchanged Brass
has been lowered to meet the decline in
copper.
Wheat, including -four, exports for
the week, aggregate 4,S16,741 bushels
as against 1921 ,543 bushels last week
and 3,914,3O1 bushels in this week last
yea.
Business failures in the United
States for the week number go, as
against 219 last week, and 26S this
week last year.
For the week, Canadian failures
number %, against 16 last week.

Miss Roosevelt will christen the new

The monthly circulation statement Of
the national comptroller of the curren-
cy shows that at the close of the year
1901 the circulation Of national bank
notes was $3.50, 28y,726, an increase as
co'npqred with December 81, 1900, of
$4,000, 14S,551, and an increase for the
month of SCOOPS. The circulation
based on United States bonds amount
ed to 5,O09, 906, an increase for the
year of $16,714,632, and a decrease for
the month of s1,202,SSO. The circula-
ton secured by lawful money amount
ed to $35, 280, APO, an increase for the
year of $3,433, 919, and an increase for
the month of $1,771 1895. The amount
of United States registered bonds on
deposit to secure circulating notes was
1926, ,2S0, and to secure public de-
posits, S110,S44650.
1t was stated that the report of the
tax commission will be presented to
Gov. Van SAINT of Minnesota on Thurs
day, and it will then be for him to de-
eide whether it is necessary to call an
extra session of the legislature to act
upon the matter. AS the governor has
been heretofore quoted as determined
tc call the extra session soon after the
report was submitted it is probable the
legislature will be called to meet early
in February, at which time the mem
bers may also be asked to take some ac-
ton in regard to the Northern Securi-
ties company, the so-called merger of
railroad interests

For the Coronation.

London, Jan. 6.-The books of steam
ship offices and the American rendezvous
in London are all being filled with appli-
cations for seats to witness the coronation
procession. Nothing definite can be ar
ranged, as the route of the procession is
still unsettled. In vicinities where it is
thought likely the great show will pass
speculation is beginning to be brisk
Those few town mansions on Park Lane
and in the ultra fashionable squares
which will be available to visitors are be-
ing quoted at 5000 pounds to 1000 pounds
for short season, and smaller furnished
houses, usually fetching 600 pounds, are
on the market at 1000 pounds for the
season. The leading hotels have already
booked most of their rooms at advanced
prices, and several of them have secured
overflow hotels in anticipation of the rush.
The London tradespeople openly avow
that they are looking forward to a great
American harvest, but that this will not
go entirely into British pockets is evil

American firms regarding the purchase of

Gold and silver Production.

Washington, Jan. 6-The preliminary
estimates of Mr.. Roberts, the director of
the mint, on the production of gold and
silver in the United States during the
calendar year 1901 indicates only a slight
gain over the production of the preceding
year. The yield of Alaska fell off by
about $l,000,000; Colorado made a slight
gain in gold and the other producers were
nearly stationary. The yield of silver ex-
ceeded that of the previous year by about
100000 fine ounces. The total number
of ounces of gold produced is shown to
have been 3,SS0,57S, of the value of $780,
2lS,S00. The number of fine ounces of
silver produced was 59,653,7sS, having a
commercial value of $35,792, 200. The
coinage value of the silver is approx
mately $77, 100000.

diplomatic relations with Chile. 1t has

The board OF education In Bunconbe
county. under the influence and direc-
ton of the county superintendent. DR..
Samuel F. Venabie. has resolved upon
a new and important step. It is to
erect better and more comely school
houses all about the county. They
wish to make education attractive a.
well as useful in the rural districts.
So far as the money will allow this
good n important work will be car
ried out They propose to place a
school house in every district not O
having one and to build new ones in
those districts in which the ildfn
used at present are Inadequate. Every
building. so far as possible, is to be
put in comfortable condition by repair
ing and remodelling. With the re-
sources now on hand the board thinks
the plan entirely practical. In build
the new school houses the urgent neces-
sity OF concentration of schools Wal be
taken into consideration.
