Ny Lord IL Arreated.


But Lord Darlington was not to 20
very far in his present path. for two
carriages which had galloped rapidly
across the park toward the one which
had brought him thither stopped sud.
denly before Darlington and Parkman.
The door was thrown open and Sir
Charles Seton and a naval ofncer in
full uniform alighted from the flrst.
From q second sergeant and four
marines. completely armed, descended

The marines instantly fell in ranks
and stood at attention. The naval Of.

toward his friend. when the latter, hi.

voice. where's my wife?"

seized Seton by the shoulders and
shook him slightly.

with one of those quick changes of
manner to which he was subject "As

It's true. Charles. Drive ON. NcLear."
he said. sinking back in the cushions
and turning his face away.
The two carriages rolled out Of the
park rapidly leaving Seton staring in
Amaxement at the remarkable and
contradictory remarks of his former
friend.
When he recovered his eqsaafsnity
in some measure at least, the baronet
turned and walked toward the two
still busted about Strathgate. His
situation was 10 critical and there was
10 much to do that they had paid NO
attention Whatsoever to the exciting
incident which had Just taken place
within earshot.

Cutting Out the JapS

Talk of possible trouble between the United States and Japan has caused planters and business men of the Hawaiian Islands to get rid of many of the Japanese formerly in their employ, according to news recently received in Los Angeles.
 "There are 3O,OOO Japanese out of employment in the islands," says a man just back from Honolulu. "These Japanese were formerly employed by the sugar planters and in general work throughout the islands, but they have been sup planted by Spanish-Americans. The latter are more satisfactory work men and there is no danger of any of them being spies.

The A-Y-P Fair

In an editorial predicting that world expositions will be scarce in the fu- ture as a result of the Jamestown fail ure. the Louisville Herald strongly comments the Alaska-Yukon-Pacifc exposition and predicts for it big success.
 The Louisville paper declares that some new and more practical methods of celebrating historical events will be found to supplant eXpositions The example of Mexico which will ceIe- brate it's one hundredth anniversary of independence in 1910 by the simul- taneous inception of public works in 100 cities, each averaging SlOO,OOO in cost. is cited as an example.
 Commenting on the AlaSka-Yukon- Pacific exposition, the Herald says:
 "The exposition program for the inn mediate future of the United States consists of but one promising event of first importance. In 1909 Seattle will hold a great AIaska-NukOn-Pacifc eX- posirion. This will be a departure in many features from those that have preceded it and may well succeed where others have failed. The terri tory it is proposed to cover differs so widely from those of previous fairs that the drawback of sameness will be largely overcome and the marvellous expansion of the Pacific coast in re- cent years goes far to insure it a sup port that should make for advantage.
 "A most creditable feature of the plan is the fact that the government will not be asked to appropriate any money other than what is necessary to provide for it's own exhibits. Over a million and a half has already been subscribed by the state of Washington, and several other states hays Signitied theip intention of cooperating. We wish the venture all success, but it is probable it will be the last big expo sition to be held in this country for some years to come"

Price of Copper

The average price of copper from 1896 to 1905 inclusive was 1889 cents. When the boom started two years ago last summer, conservative engi- neers and promoters took l3 cents as basis for calculations and referred to l5 cents as something to be expected in good times. Memories are indeed short that forget the general eXulta- tion when prices reached l5 cents at the beginning of 1905. Why, then, should there be the paesent gloomy prognostications that the industry IS going to the dogs unless we have speedy return to abnormal and unsafe levels of 1906?
 The simple facts of the situation are that the mines which have high cost of production because of costly labor and material, or other unfavorable conditions, or low grade of ore have been naturally eliminated. Similarly, those mines which took advantage of an exceptionally high price for copper to realize something from their re- serves of low grade ore, which other wise would have been impossible, have been driven back to their normal con- ditions. In many cases the advisable or necessary readjustments require little time which may justify tempo rary suspension of production, but 1t may safely be said that any copper mine which can not operate profitably at a price from l3 to 14 cents for cop per is not an attractive investment.- Engineering and Mining Journal.
