Pittsburg, Dec. 27-A decision has
been reached by the flint glass manu-
facturers TO close all bottle factories
shortly after Jan. for a period
OF four weeks In order TO curtail pro-
duction and better enable the trade to
maintain prices. The report of this
decision has caused CONSERVATION In
glass circles and particularly among
the workers who had presumed that
their seasons work was permanently
settled and there would be no cessation
of the industry for the remainder Of the
season. The agreement, It Is said, COW
ers all the members OF the associated
manufacturers, but Of course not the
Independents, who will continue their
operations. Notices. OF the shutdown
viii, 1t is said, be posted some time
during the week and thousands OF
skilled workmen will be rendered idle.

RUSSIAN SETTLEMENTS.
Growing Up at Railway Stations
In Manchuria.

washington, Dec. 27.--According to a
report received at the state depart
ment from United States Commercial
Agent Greener at Vladivostock Siberia,
under date Of July %, 1903, Russian set
tlements have made their appearance
at nearly all the larger railroad stations
in Manchuria. Besides railroad offices
and houses for employees, there are
many private buildings. One impedi-
ment TO the expansion of these settle
ments is that no regular sales of land
have yet been arranged for. II is said
that there will be an auction sale OF
lots next year. In the meantime pri-
vate persons are allowed to occupy lots
temporarily.
Regarding the affairs Of Siberia, Com
merclal Agent Greener says there Is a
surveying party now engaged In defin-
ing the route OF the second Siberian
railway. The party will project the
line In such a manner that instead OF
four daily trains of 20 cars each, nine
trains OF SO cars each win run every "a
hours. An appropriation of $4,000
has been made for this improvement
He also states that the preliminary
work for the railroad line from Kiakh-
tn to Pekin via Urga has beeen accom-.
plished.

Some preliminary figures have been
made up on the results OF the recent
run OF the Majestic smelter, and they
make splendid showing for the
smelling plant, as we'll as for the
mines. These figures have not been
ofhcially verified and checked up and
are only approximately correct, but II
WIN be found that they are not far out
OF the way.
In considering this demonstration run
OF the smelter II should be constantly
borne in min dthat the cost OF opera
ton OF an initial run is necessarily
heavier than the cost would be under
continuous operation. During the time
mat the Majestic plant was In opera
ton various items OF expense were
gradually reduced or eliminated and
the average cost per ton was less dur
Ing the last half than during the first
half of the period Moreover, the
plant was not worked at full capacity
until towards the end OF the run, when
1t handled over 200 tons OF ore per day
the average for the entire run having
been 10 tons. 1t Will therefore be seen
that the plant Ia capable OF making a
much more favorable showing under
steady work. Following are the fig-
ures:
Smelter In operation, 40 days.
Total expense, 5000
Value OF matte produced, SCI, 800
Profit $4,000.
Profit per day. $500
Copper produced. 246 tons.
Average contents OF ores. 81 per
cent copper, 3.S ounces silver, .O6 ounce
gold.
Net cost OF smelling, sS.75 per ton.
These figures Will doubtless make
good reading for the stockholders. who
Will bear In mind the disadvantages I'M
der which the furnace was operated
and the fact that the ores that were
treated were OF the leanest and most
unfavorable character that will be en-
countered in the mines.
The Majestic forces have now been
reduced TO about 80 men. many of whom
have been engaged on assessment work.
This In about finished and the miners
VIII be returned to development work
on the mines Milford Times.

COLoMBIA's DEBT.
Panama is willing to Assume Her
Proportion of 1t.

New York, Dec 27.-M. Bunau-Varii-
Ia, minister OF Panama to the United
States, stated tonight that he had no.
titled Sir II. Mortimer Durand. British
ambassador to the United States, of
Panama's willingness to assume part
of the exterior debt of Colombia In pro-
portion to the population OF Panama
compared with that of Colombia. The
minister says this will be done as soon
as the independence of Panama Is rec
ognized by Colombia.
Panamans here who were informed
of the course adopted by M. Banau-
Varilla said that this step had been taxi
en- to show the good faith OF the new
republic. They believe that no court
of arbitration would have reached the
conclusion that any part OF Colombian
exterior debt should be assumed by
Panama, as never In the history OF the
country was any part OF the exterior
loans utilized for the benefit of Pana-
ma.
The total amount Of the exterior debt
with interest added Is about $lbOOO,O 900,
and Panama has population about
one fifteenth of that OF Colombia. SO
| that Panama will take upon Itself the
payment Of 100000, II the conditions
are carried out.
