A CURIOSITY
 STEEL NUGGET
Catch-Curiosity Steel nugget.
WEIGHS EIGHTY POUNDS AND IS
 PURE METAL.
It Was Found by H. C. Margarell Twenty-Five Miles East of cumpas, Mexico.

MT. H. c. Margaret, who lives on Sixteenth street in Douglas. returned from Sonora on Tuesday, where he has been for six weeks prospecting. One of his finds is decided curiosity and is attracting much attention, having been examined by number of men since he brought it to this city on Tuesday It is what appears to be a nugget of steel weighing eighty pounds: it has been tested by several parties ard while it is a mystery to all still the majority pronounce it 10 be steel of the very finest quality. How it was formed is the mystery Nuggets it was formed is the mystery metals are not uncommon, but mug gets of steel or iron have never been found. One theory is that the mug get is a meteor. but it claimed that the compassion of meteor has never been found to be move than eighty five per cent iron. This is steel pro- nounced to be of the finest quality
 Mir. Margaret met a mineral expert in Mexico who he says offered him $500 for his find but that he refused the offer and will not part with the nugget until he makes thorough ex- animation to find out just what it is One peculiar thing about this nugget is that Mir Marargell declares that with a blow pipe he cannot make any i'm Nression on it. He hammered a piece Of it to the thickness of blade, but with blow pipe he could make no impression on it. He claims that with a blow pipe he can easily melt ordi- nary steel or iron. I IL has been sug- .gssted that the find might possibly be platinum and in that case the find would be very valuable one.

In the extended obituaries of Blowitz,
the famous Paris correspondent of the
London Times for 80 years, the state
ment which most staggers the Ameri-
can newspaper man is that his salary
was $4,000 yearly. Think of that, and,
moreover. he married a rich widow!
To explain the salary. it is not only
we'll to remark that he was a remark
able man but to call attention to the
fact that the head of the Paris news
bureau of the greatest English paper is
a position of more real power than is
usually possessed by an ambassador or
prime minister. 1t is hard for Amerl-
cans to understand the Importance
which England attaches to news of
every kind from France. 1t involves
the story of centuries of open hostility
and concealed suspicious. 1t is worth
noting that an American, Fullerton,
succeeds Blowitz.

Russia's Cost of Government.

The estimates of the Russian gov
eminent for the ensuing year, just
published in dispatch from st. Peters,
burg, give an idea of the enormous cost
of keeping the official machinery oiled
in that vast empire The ordinary ex-
penses of government for 1903 are
estimated at $94O, 202, GA, in our money,
and the extraordinary expenses at $685.
631 ,121. a total of $1,035, 1887 This
sum is larger than the total national
debt of the United States and calls for
a larger revenue than is raised by any
other country of the world. The usual
annual expenditures of the British
government are only about two thirds
of this sum though they became about
nine hundred millions under the stress
of the Boer war.
The annual expenses of the French
government are about seven hundred
millions. and those of Germany abou;
six hundred millions. The expendi-
lures of the United States government
are between five and six hundred mil
lions yearly, exclusive of the postofficc
department which is practically self
supporting. But Russia does not begin
to rank with any of these countries as
Ian industrial or commercial nation
it's income to meet it's great expendi-
lures comes from many sources. Its
government railroads yield a net In
come of about $2OO,0O0,000 each year
and the tax on spirits brings in as
much more. while it's custom duties
amount to about $10OOOO,O0O. There are
direct taxes on land and forests, con-
siderable sum is raised from trade Ii
censes. from stamp duties, from mines,
posts and telegraphs and from divers
other sources. so that a complete
enumeration would be a long one.

For the first time in the history of
the State, Connecticut has elected a
United States senator for fifth term.
Mr.. Plat we'll deserved the high honor
and an evidence of the esteem in which
his state holds him is that the Demo-
cratic minority did not nominate any
body against him. In fact, most of the
Democrats did the creditable thing of
voting for him. Mr.. Platt is one of the
strong men of the Senate If he lives
to serve out the six years for which he
has been elected he will be 72 years old
and a sixth term viii by no means be
out of the question. i{ IN ano4 ea4tir,

tn. New Kansas Senator.

Kansas is another of the states
where the Republicans make gain In
the Senate, and the unanimous nomi-
nation of Representative Chester |.
Long by the Republican Caucus makes
it certain that the new senator will
not only be a stalwart supporter of the
administration but also a man of truly
senatorial caliber who will be a credit
three terms in the House, first coming
into notice as the opponent of the
picturesque Jerry Simpson whom he
has twice defeated. He is a native OF
Pennsylvania, a lawyer by profession
and only AZ years of age. The new
senator from Utah, Mr.. Smoot, is only
al years old, but neither he nor Mr..
Long will be able to take away from
Mr.. Beveridge of Indiana the destinc-
ton of being the youngest senator.
The election of Mr.. Long to succeed
Senator Harris, a Democrat, will give
Kansas two Republican senators for
the first time since the days of ingalls,
and Plumb who gave way to PETER and
Martin, Populists, when the state was
swept by the free silver folly. The re-
publicans recovered one seat in 1895,
when they elected Baker, who was sue
ceeded by Burton. PETER was followed
by Harris, also Populist, whose place
will now be taken by Long. The state
has not had two sound-money senators
before, since the rise of the silver is
sue. but it is now wholly out of the
woods and again on the highway of
poIitical sanity.
