Earv Test for Cooper,

A German publication states that
copper can easily be detected under
the microscope by means OF cesium
chloride, which gives the copper a
double salt in the form of handsome
red crystalline needles or prisms.
These crystals are observable when
only extremely small proportions Of
copper are present. If much cesium
chloride be added. yellow crystals
form, which becomes red on the addi-
ton of little cuprous chloride. Co.

FINDS HIS TONGUE
Hartman Can Talk Now That
Investigation Is Over.
Discusses the Work of the In
terstate Commission.
HE WANTS FAIR PLAY.
Says 1t Is More Important Than
the Square DEAL.
Says Administration Might Be
In Better Business.

Washington. March 2.-E. H. Harri-
man, who is in Washington for a few
days accompanied by his family, in dis
cussing the recent investigation by the
interstate commerce commission in
New York today said:
There was not a single new point
brought out in the inquiry. 1t was sim
ply a rehash of matter that was given
wide publicity seven years ago This
continual reform agitation simply shows
the animosity that exists today against
men and corporation that have made a
success. The Interstate commerce COM
mission could produce far better results
if the members would try to cooperate
with the business interests of the coun-
try instead of antagonizing them
"In view of the unfair methods of
the administration, as carried out by
the interstate commerce commission,
there is no incentive for a man to be
successful, but 1 am sure that in the
end the American spirit of old of fair
play will prevail. That is more to the
purpose than a square deal We may
have a square DEAL, but unfair play.
There seems to be tendency among
all unsuccessful people to assail those
who are successful. All the so called
charges made at the recent hearing in
New York are fully covered in the ap-
plication in October, 1900, for listing
the Chicago & Alton railway securities
in the new stock exchange, and every
point brought out by the interstate
commerce commissioners. the other
day was given publicity at that time.
This circular to which I refer men
toned the fact that s31.9SS.OOO in
three per cent bonds were sold to the
stockholders at So, and that the
amount, S22, that had for
merly been charged to income, were
properly charged to construction" He
then went into details concerning the
Alton deal.

Gratis. On the vote to adopt the sub
stitute there were forty-three Repub-
Iican "insurgents," and on its final
passage, there were forty-one.
Only four steamship lines are to be
subsidized under the measure in the
form finally agreed upon, and all of
these are to sail for South American
ports. One of the lines will be from
the Atlantic coast to Brazil; a second
from the Atlantic coast to Argentina
the third between the Gulf of Mexico
and Brazil. The fourth line will be
from the Pacific coast to Panama,
Peru and Chile.
The annual subsidy for each of
these lines is to- be 100000 for a
monthly mail service, or $500, 900 for
a fortnightly service; excepting the
Argentine line, which is to have $4O0.-
900 for a monthly service, or $500, 900
for a fortnightly service.No American
cities are named as ports from which
any of the lines are to start and the
bill is so worded that the line in the
Pacific to South America. can touch at
any number of ports in sssthe United
States.
The same is true of the Atlantic
lines. The. bill provides that vessels
profting by the subsidy must have a
speed of not less than 16 knots. 1t has
been repeatedly stated on the floor of
the house that no ships now engaged
in the South American trade can
make any such speed.

SHIP SUBSIDY AT LAST.
House Finally Passes the Bill by a
Narrow Margin.

Washington. March 2.-It has been
years since the house was the scene OF
so royal a battle between the two
great parties as was witnessed there
over the ship subsidy bill. The bill
was passed, but not until after 1t had
been once defeated, and this fact in
itself shows how close the alignment
was When the first vote disclosed
majority against the measure, the
Democrats and their Republican allies
made the house ring with cheers.
There were several roll calls before
the final favorable result was secured.
The vote on the Littauer substitute
was defeated on the first vote-ayes
ia. nays 161. The Democrats could
not retain their lead, however, for on
a vote to lay on the table motion to
subsidy were defeated 156 to 159, and
the vote to reconsider the first vote
was adopted. 164 to 154.
Immediately after the first ballot
assertions began and on the final vote
to pass the bill as amended the work
done by the Republican leaders dur
ing the heat of the battle was made
manifest. The bill was passed, 155 to
149.
