PLATINUM IN THE YUKON.
Consul at Vancouver Suggests That
Miners Are Through Ignorance
Losing Valuable Mineral,

Consul Dudley, at Vancouver, sends
to- the state department a report in
which he says: ''The superintendent
of the assay Office here has reported to
the press that among the specimens
of gold brought to him to. be refined
he has found considerable quantities
of platinum, and he is under the i'm
preston that the miners do not know
platinum when they see it. In all the
placer mining districts of British Co
lumbia and the Yukon territory large
amounts of pla tinum and kindred
metals have been thrown away by
miners who did not know the value of
the product. With the present price
OF. platinum it will pay prospectors
to be on the lookout for this metal,
which doubtless exists in considerable
quantities in this province. Pla tinum
is not found in lodges, SO far as is
known, excepting in one place in the
world. It is found in black sand con
tanning large percentage of magn ne tic
iron ore and a varying quantity. Of
gold.''' E "a 5z r. s<..z 5.

HAD LONG STRUGGLE
Women Of Methodist Church to Be
Given Place in Conference.
The New Constitution Adopted In
q Which Provision Is Made for
Their Admission as Delegates 81
with Unrestricted Rights.

~ The long. struggle for official recog-
milton IN the conferences by women
of the Methodist church is probably
ended, at last, and, it is claimed that
the women have won, says the New
York Tribune. A statement to this
effect has just been made by DIR.
Stephen T.. Baldwin, recording secre-
tary Of the Mission Society Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, who
says that the returns from the con-
ferences are so far in that it is GER:
tain the new constitution is adopted.
The new constitution was submit
ted at the general conference of the
church held in Chicago in 1900, APP
proved by it, and referred for decision
to the conferences throughout the
world. The principal changes are
that it gives women the right to sit
as delegates in the general confer
ence; it gives laymen's electoral meet
ings authority to vote on constitu-
tional questions, and it changes. the
vote necessary in the general confer
ence to amend the constitution from
three-fourths to two thirds. Z.
DR.. Baldwin said in an interview:
'ssThe subject of admitting women as
delegates was first agitated at the
general conference held in New York
in 1888. At the general conference in
1896 six women were elected, but two
withdrew. Another long discussion
took place, and it was decided that
the women might take their seats
with title in dispute.' The four de-
clined to accept this condition and
| withdrew. The question was submit
ted again to the church, but although
a large majority of the ministers
voted in favor of admitting women
on equal terms, it was defeated, be-
| cause the required three-fourths vote
! in favor was not obtained. Last year
| the general conference accepted the
new constitution, which contained
| the desired clause. The various sec
| tional conferences have all been
heard from except few in foreign
fields, and more than the required
! three-quarters vote is assured"

Americans After Shipyards.

The Journal of Commerce, of Liver
pool, which has been Investigating
the story that Americans are buying
up the Clyde shipyards, finds that
while there is no need for apprehen-
sion, yet the matter is more serious
than many in the trade supposed.
An American lawyer who has been
distinguished in the formation of
trusts and who was the chief opera
tor in the deals leading to the estab-
lishment of the American cotton
syndicate, visited the Dennys, Rus
sells and others to discuss the mat
ter. It is believed that one of the
builders he approached estimated the
lowest figure for the purchase of the
yards which would receive considera-
ton at e3o,ooO,oOo. This sum exceed
ed the expectation of the agent and
he left. He stated his intention. of re-
turning later on. - III

NEW CARRIAGE CALL.
The Man with the FOg-HOrn Voice
Displaced at New York by Elec-
trio Signal Lights.

Much clamor and confusion will be
done away with at the Metropolitan
opera house by the installation of an
illuminated carriage call system,
which will signal to waiting coachmen
a half mile distant. The proper num-
bers will be flashed from conspicuous
place commanding the stretches of
pavement where the carriages, abs
and automobiles now crowd and jam
the crossings after opera hours.
Operators stationed at the en-
frances will give numbered checks,
and, without the aid of the man with
the foghorn voice, calling ones We
hicle will be only a matter of switch
ing a series of levers arranged some
what like a typewriter board. The
figures from 1 to 9 can be shown in
each Of the three large apertures, so
that carriage calls may be mum bered
up in the hundreds and changed every
two seconds. The principle of the de-
vice isssimilar to that of the shifting
advertising legends written in colored
incandescent lights.
The owners of several theaters are
waiting to adopt the system if the
test at the opera house is as successful
as seems proba BILE. The inventor is

NOTABLE CLAY MOSAIC.
Remarkable Work of Art Discovered
by Acting Architect of Capitol
at Washington

When the acting architect of the cap
itol came to remove the paintin from
the hall Mr.. Woods discovered the ex-
istence of a remarkable work of art,
by {. Brumidi, the artist who decorated
the rotunda, of the capitol and many of
the senate committee-rooms and CORR
doris IS years ago. In the southwest
corner is a picture of Washington
farewell to his officers, which was sup
posed to be bit of painting. On ex-
animal ton to determine the question of
removal it was found to be what is
probably the finest specimen of clay
mosaic in the country. The material
is clay set into the wall when in plas-
tic condition, so prepared that in the
dry state it fits into the picture in
proper tint, the whole at "a little dis
lance resembling an oil painting.-
Its nature and method of compost
ton was pointed out by Mr.. Joseph
Rakemann, of this city, who was an as
sistant of Mr.. Brumidi, and who, with
his son, decorated the new COMMITTEES
rooms and corridors this year. Bru-
mldl's signature TO the work reveals a
clear artistic trait of the artist.
While he was at work ON the rotunda
and the senate wing there was much
criticism over the selection of a for
eigner to do the work, so he took out
naturalization papers, and the sigma
ture to the work in the hall of the
house reads: &c. Brumidi, citizen, ar
tist.'

Put in Prison for Debt

There is a popular impression that
imprisonment for debt has been abol-
ished in Great Britain. The county
court returns for 1900, which are lust
published, show that 1862 debtors
were imprisoned during that year.
Technically they were impris oned for
contempt of court in failing to pay
after the judge Of the county court
had ordered them to do SO, but the
onpayment Of debts was the real Of
tense. The system, apparently, had
a Fgood effect in the case Of the ma ma
#jority of debtors, as the returns
show that Of 1904 against whom
commitment warrants were issued,
124,352 paid up when. they came face
to face with the alternative of going
to prison. A.

MRS. lack GARDNER DEFIANT.
She Will Not Allow Boston City EN-
ployes to Inspect Her Vene-
tian Palace.

Rather than permit inspectors from
Wire Commissioner Lofts department
to inspect her, Venetian palace, Mrs.
Jack Gardner threatens to light her
great ballroom and the interior of the
building with candles, and to run the
risk of fire, as the underwriters have
notified all the insurance companies
not to accept risk upon the place I'M
der the present conditions. This state
of affairs is the result of considerable
CORE spondence between Mrs. Gardner
and Commissioner Lott.
When the place was being construct
ed Mrs. Gardner had the wiring done
by an expert man, and supposed she
would have no difficulty in having con-
nection made with the cables Of the
powerfurnishing company. When she
learned that all work of this kind in
Boston had to be examined and passed
upon by the fire underwriters and the
inspectors from the wire department
of the city Mrs. Gardnerbegan writing
to Commits sioner Lott in n endeavor to
have the usual formalities dispensed
with.
An inspection was unnecessary, but
the inspector was obdurate. Then
Mrs. Gardner grew indignant, and said
she would light the place by candles
rather than allow city employe to en-
ter the place. The fire underwriters
have sent out notice that insurance
companies must not insure the palace,
and the city has notified the electric
light companies not to make connec-
tions with it until the owner has COM
piled with the usual requirements.

Charles +. Cannon, superintendent
of colporteurs for the American Bible
society in northern China, writes to
the society concerning the present sit
7 nation in the Chinese empire as fol-
"While at Shanghai observed that the
Chinese government was openly violating
the provisions of the protocol. The great
empire would shake off European dominat-
ing Thousands of boatloads of small
arms and ammunition were passing week
ly up the Yangtse-Kiang and the arsenals
were being enlarged and worked day and
night. Cargoes of explosives were being
received and the dowager empress had
issued instructions to all officials to re-
cruit the army, and also to inform her as
to the fighting strength of each division
and the time required to concentrate the
forces at a given point. There were and
are many other unpromising features
which weighed heavily upon the minds of
those interested. I must believe that the
end is not yet, and that within ten years,
and possibly within five, a war will ensue
the like of which the world has never
known. For centuries China has been
making repeated attempts to expei the
foreigner, each time profiting by past ex-
perience, each time with more power and
success, each time better equipped and
better planned. She is now preparing as
never before, buying vast quantities of SUI
perlor weapons and reorganiZing her
armies on a correct basis Therefore, the
next attempt will be gigantic in force
and terrible in execution. It will result
IN universal upheaval and the final dis
memoerment of this empire-at a terrible
cost"

WHAT CHINA NEEDS.
It Is Not Material Progress So
Much as Christianity.
So Declares Rev. N. G. PoOn Chew
Younger Element Putting Hope In
More Railroads and Telegraph
and Better Armies.

= Rev. N. G. Poon Chew, at present
said to be an editor of Chinese pa
per in San Francisco, in an address at
New York city on the needs of China
at the present time, said:
''Those who have followed the trend Of
affairs in China said he, know that its
needs at the present time are great and
varied. The younger generation are clam
oring for new order of things. They are
trying to peep into the future instead OF
slumbering with the past. They believe
that China can be rescued from its leth-
argy by material means-a few more rail
roads and many more telegra phi poles, bet
ter armies, better navies. But this younger
and progressive element in China is wrong.
1t is Christianity which Chinasneeds." T..
