Industrial Precious Metal.

The worlds supply Of platinum DUR
ing the year 1904 was about $4,000
pounds, 1920 pounds Of which came
from Russia. The United States pro-
duced 2OS ounces, valued at $4,l6O.
All of this came from California and
Oregon, the Wyoming mine having
suspended operations. The price OF
platinum increased 10 per cent during
the year According to DR.. David I.
DAY, Of the United States geological
survey, the outlook for an increased
production during 1905 Is good. The
present price of platinum-$2O.5O an

has reached in recent years.

GOLD is LEAVING RUSSIA.
Movement Causes Much Speculation
In Berlin.


Berlin, Dec. 23.-Gold has begun to
arrive In large quantities. at the I'm
perial Bank of Germany, from st
Petersburg. About $3,750,000 arrived
recently, while the amount included
in the last bank return is understood
to be about $13,000,OO0. The move.
ment is expected to continue until a
total of S25,000,000 is reached.
The Berlin market is indulging In
much speculation concerning the
meaning Of these shipments. The
best authorities say that the gold is
intended to redeem the issue of Rus
sian treasury notes, sold in Germany,
France and Austria in May and June,
through the Mendelsohn B. TX of Ber-
lin, as the notes will mature in Febru-
airy and March.
Rumors to the effect that the Rus
sian treasury will be unable to pay
the January coupons Of the foreign
debt have been set at rest by the an
nouncement that the payment has
been going on since last week.

MRS. NULL ACQUITTED.
six Ballots Were Taken In KIngmak
Murder Case.

Kingman, Kan, Dec. 2G.-The jury
In the case of Mrs. Rosa Null, charg-
ed with the murder of her husband,
Harvey Null, by poisoning, returned
verdict of not guilty.
A touching scene followed in the
court room when the verdict of the
jury was announced. For the first
time since the trial started, more than
a week ago, Mrs. Null showed con-
siderable emotion. She thanked each
juror and said she was happy over
the result. She added, however, that
she had expected to 60 free.
The news of the verdict spread
rapidly and the court house was soon
filled with spectators. Mrs. Null re-
ceived numerous congratulations as
the result of being freed fYom the
charge. Not few tears were shed
by thankful friends.
Six ballots were taken by the jury.
On the first ballot the twelve men
were evenly divided, six being for con-
viction and six for acquittai. One
man weakened on the next ballot and
only five stood for conviction. One
man did not vote. On the third bal
lot only three were for conviction and
nine stood for acquittal. Another man
was won over on the fourth ballot
and The vote stood ten for acquittal
to two for conviction. One man
voted for conviction on the fifth bal.
lot and on the sixth they agreed.

University SYSTEMS weakness.

Dr.. David Starr Jordan, Of Leland
Stanford university, says: 1.-TWO
great weaknesses are evident in the
English university system; one is
the prevalence Of sinecures. Half
the men supposed to teach or con-
duct research do nothing of the kind.
The other weakness is the domin-
ance of the examination. English
higher training is largely matter Of
books and words. The men are with
out power to adapt themselves to new
conditions. This is the secret Of the
success Of American engineers in
London. They are ready for what,
ever turns up, not for the particular
problem it has taken three months to
cram"

1T is impossible to move about the
city in consequence Of the numerous
ptray bullets. Many innocent people

I The same correspondent, telegraph
Ing at 1898 p. M, says:
I, Your Moscow correspondents tele-
grams have not been accepted because
all private messages were refused this
week. 1t is learned. however, that
cannon firing is now proceeding in
various parts of the city, where late
ly, very near the railroad stations the
barricades erected by the revolution
aries are being desperately defended.
"The Kursk terminus at Moscow is
being pillaged and many wagons lad
en- with provisions are being looted
"The emperor is. engaged daily in
reviewing at Tsarskoe-Selo the regl.
ments of the st. Petersburg district.
The spirit of the troops is decidedly
loyal
"From fragmentary accounts re.
ceived from Moscow, / gather that the
civil war has brought no decisive ac-
ton, but only thickening Of the
blood cloud, an intensifying of the
horrors and an increase of the pre-
vailing bitterness.
"The driving force behind both
troops and rebels is no longer that of
enthusiasm or of any human impulse.
It is the force Of superhuman hate and
hence the deeds reported are not the
acts Of patriots, soldiers or otherwise,
but the enormities of madmen.
1T is impossible to understand how
any emotion. even of the extremes of
despair or hate, can impart such fool
hardy courage as some of the rebels
display.
For every barricade destroyed Sun
day two or three appeared in other
places. Orders were given by the re-
volutionists to shoot only when there
was good hope of bringing man
down, but otherwise to tire out the
troops until they lost patience.
'In the meantime. in their houses,

trembling at every boom of the can
non or the explosion of bomb.
"The most surprising thing of all is
the loyalty of the troops which nobody
here anticipated.
Talking with an intelligent group
of st. Petersburg revolutionists was
informed that while they believed the
strike would be victorious. they fully
realized they were stalking everything
upon the issue and that failure would
set back their cause for several years.
