ident has, up to this time, taken M
step since the battle OF the Corean
straits, to promote a settlement Of
the difficulties between the bellig.
erent countries and is not likely to
do so until ono or the other OF the
powers has indicated a desire Tor
his assistance. AS related in these
letters weeks ago, the President,
early in the conflict, animated in
unmistakable terms TO both nations
that he would be glad At any time
to do all in his power 10 bring
about a satisfactory conclusion Of
the war. Having done that he can
do nothing further in the premises
until one or the other of the oppo-
nents has indicated a desire for his
assistance. The mere fact that
Ambassador Cassini and Minister
TakihIra occasionally call at the
White House is always enough to
occasion wild reports regarding
peace negotiations and, although it
seems almost certain that Russia
will be compelled to sue for peace
in the not distant future, 1t is by no
means certain that the negotiations
will pc opened in Washington.
The President is convinced that
the battle Of the Corean straits
teaches a valuable lesson regarding
the necessity of a large and a highly
efficient navy. He rejoiees that the
American navy has enjoyed every
advantage for target practice anC
hopes il will continue to do so
while he believes that recent devel'
opments in the far East have so fal
proved the correctness of his inten.
ton that no comfy can be grea
without a great naval force that be
cannot be successfully opposed ii
the next Congress.
There now seems TO be doub
that the SPECIAL session OF Congress
hitherto booked for October X. will
be postponed until November an,
! in the opinion of your correspond
ent there will be no special sessiol
; whatever. The pressure is toe
great and the President feels that il
would prove of no advantage to as
semble Congress only TO have al
} its members meet in an exceedingl,
bad humor.

The two great armies of Russia
and Japan have faced each other in
comparative quietness during the
month. Occasional small conflicts
have taken place between outposts,
or command seeking new positions.
Oyama's army is said to cover
front of forty miles. The Japanese
are north of Tie Pass and while
preparations for an advance seem
to be under way, there's nothing &c
tell when or where the blow will be
delivered,

His Brother Died 100 Years
Ago.

Can any of our readers truth
fully declare that they once had
a brother, but that he died $50
years ago; asks a contributor TO
T. P.'s Weekly I see that
there is at least one person in
the world making such a claim,
and that he recently swore to the
fact in a court of law. The
French contemporary from
which | quote adds that the judge
at first thought that the man
was joking, and called upon him
TO substantiate his story.
He declared, as was afterwards
verified, that his father had mar
ried at the age of nineteen, and
had had one son, who died within
two days of his birth. Becoming
"a widower, the father married
again, in his seventy. fifth year,
and then had another son, the
witness. This latter was ninety
four at the time of the trial.
Adding ninety four years To fifty
six lthe period which elapsed be.
tween the two marriages. the re
suit is exactly $50. Next, please

the Largest Cake Ever Baked.


The largest cake ever heard Of
in history was baked in Saxony
II was made by order of Angus.
tus, king Of saxony and Poland,
when he was entertaining his
friend, Frederick William, king
OF Prussia, in camp in the month
of June, 1880, and Carlyle, in his
history of Frederick the Great,
tells us about il.
The whole of the Saxon army
lay there in camp at the time,
and King Augustus entertained
his friend with many wonderful
tournaments and military dis
plays, such MS we read of In En-.
glish history, when King Henry
VIII met King Francis l OF
France, at the celebrated Field
of the Cloth of Gold. That meet.
ing between the kings of France
and England is always to be re-.
membered on account of the
grandeur and luxury OF all its
arrangements, and this meeting
of kings of Saxony and Prus.
STA is famous too for the same
reason.
Among other surprises which
Augustus prepared SO lavishly
for his guest was this very cake.
A cake of such a size as this was
is scarcely 10 be imagined.
There went to the making Of il.
10 begin with, five Thousand
eggs! Then there were thirty
six bushels of good flour, one tor
of milk, one ton of yeast, and one
ton of butter. All the way
around its immense outside rRr
a trimming of biscuits and gin
ger.bread nuts. The description
of il sounds like some marvellous
fairy tale, but IL all comes out o'
the book of one of the most seri
Gus writer's of history, and is alb
lutely true.
What must the size Of such q
cake have beeny You may CUES,
when you hear that eight horse,
were used 20 draw IL into ia,
camp, ON a special wooden plat
form made for the purpose, Will
a tent raised over il. How wa,
il ever mixed and bakedy By
machinery, Is all we + told, and
we can well believe that machin.
cry would be needed for such a
piece of work as that, though We
would like Ia know "a little more
about the mixing and baking.
At any rate we know that il was
cut by a carpenter with a gigan.
tic knife, a knife Of such a size
that the handle rested on his
shoulder as he used it.
As for the eating OF 1.-THE
cake was brought into a camp OF
thirty Thousand soldiers, TO say
nothing, Of the kings, princes,
lords, and mobiles of all kinds,
with their followers and ser.
wants, and probably il was not 81
long in beinaten as in heingge
made. Lutheran Young People.

The newspapers of Germany
have printed during the past
months a story to the effect that
the United States treasury had
been looted of every dollar 1t con
; tanned by burglars in the employ
Of American milliOnaires. The
report was that S26s, 5000 was
stolen and that the North Allan
tic squadron gave chase after the
cracksmen who escaped on five
ocean steamers. The details of
the robbery state that it was &C
complished by tunneling under
the Potomac river to a point un-
der the Treasury vaults. The
tunnel was equipped with cleo
trio cars on which the gold and
silver was loaded and carried to
the Virginia side of the river to
the supposed factory building
covering the entrance to the tun-
mel. From here the bullion was
transferred to twenty submarine
boats in the Potomac, which con
yeyed it TO the five waiting ship:

A few days ago the editor of the MINER received an interesting commu nication from Al. James, who recently went from thi. county to Goldfleld. Mir. James says that Goldfield is one of the dustiest and dirtiest places he was ever in. To com pensate for the unpleasantness, he reports that eight or nine mines are producing largely of high grade ore. At the Florence mine leasers are shipping eight hundred sacks of 450S ore daily. Fourteen ore assorters are at work preparing the ore for market. The O ,mbination com. pany is pu ting up the first mill and has lots of ore to work. The deepes t shaft in the camp is about 30) feet, but all the good mines are being sunk on rapidly. At Diamondfield. four miles from Goldfield, d leaser told Mir. James that he had taken out fourteen sacks of ore from his lease that averaged 2OOJOS to the ton, besides much lower grade ore. The leases in the district are expiring and the owner com panies are taking them over, but have not gotten to work extensively. He be- lieves there are about 1000 people in the whole district and there are five towns in the district within radius of five miles. Lumb Der is coming in rapidly and houses are being built with great rapidity Many Mohave county people are in the mp, but he does not state if they are making money. He and Tobe Wilkinson have mining claims at Bullfrog, ninety miles south of Goldfield, and he is to do some development work on them before returning to this county. Mr.. James believes the district is good one and that many good mines will be opened up there.

Dr. J. R. Whiteside returned Tues. day from trip into the Big Bend country, to the northwest of Chloride. He is quite enthusiastic over the mag nificent scenic views to be obtained in that section and is of the opinion that there exists many rich veins of gold and silver ores which were worked by a prehistoric race. In the turquoise mines are to be found numbers of crude implements with which the an. clients mined the precious stone. These mines are in the most secluded spot in the United States. It is pr. White sides intention to return to the mines when the weather moderates.
