TWO STATES SELL ASBESTOS
They are Georgia and Vermont-lm-
portations From Canada

Washington, Aug. 5-All the ashes
tos mined and sold in the United
States in 1908 was mined in Georgia
and Vermont and the total output OF
the various grades was 936 short tons,
an increase from 1907 of over AZ per
cent. The total value of the output
of refined asbestos in 1908 was $19,624
as compared with Sl1,SS9 in 1897 an
increase of GA per cent. According
to the report on asbestos by j. S. Dill
Ter in the Mineral resources" series
of the United States Geological Sur
vey for 1908, the increase in value
thus indicated is due to the greater
production than ever before of chryso-
tile the variety of fibrous mineral,
which is best adapted to textile pro-
cesses and commands the highest pri-
ces. The main source of raw mater
ial, however, continues to be Canada,
whence came all but $1646 worth OF
the imports into the United States in
1908. valued at $l,06S.3 800. Much over
half of the asbestos exported by Can
ada came to the United States. me
United States leads all other countries
in the manufacture of asbestos prod
ucts.
The best asbestos yet found in the
United States is near the bottom OF
the Grand Canyon of Arizona. 1t Is
cross-fiber chrysotile of exceptional
quality. The outcrop is extensive put
as the product must be packed on don
KEYS about IL miles down one side OF
the canyon aud 1000 feet up the other
side. and thence be hauled 20 miles TO
the railroad, only the hand-cobDed,
best grade of material can be shipped
at present. s
The variety of users of the fireproof
and insulating qualities OF asbestos is
increasing. one OF the not
able applications in recent years Is as
a pigment under the name "asDestlhe
which on account of its iibrous strnc-
ure has the property of holding up
other heavier pigments in the paint.
Mixtures of asbestos with various COM
mounds play an important part In fre-
nroof construction. Such materials
are asbestos building lumber, century
shingles asbestos slate, asbestlc lot
stucco and plaster and asbestollth.
The asbestos trade suffered little in
the recent depression, and though the
outlook for the coming year is for low
or prices on the lower grades OF ma
terial. highgrade, crudes and hoers
viii probably remain at the present
prices. The whole industry is better
established now than ever before ana
with stable trade conditions must
greatly increase in volume.

Two Thousand Soldiers Killed.

London, England.-The Standards
Constantinople correspondent esti-
mates that 1000 men were killed in
the fighting in the capital, and that
the losses were heaviest on the side
of the Constitutionalists, who did all
OF the attacking and who offered good
targets in the open. During the con-
ficts, the mollahs and softas, fearing
the vengeance of the people every
where, sought refuge in the mosques.
where they were caught and many of
them were killed.
At the time of the surrender, the
correspondent adds, the Sultan had
with him besides the Grand Vizier
and the War Minister, two of the
nearest heirs to the throne, Mehem-
med Reschad Effendi and Yussof L.
zedine, whom he had detained as hos
tages. 1t is reported that about
eighty of the softas and mollahs who
took refuge in the mosques were
found to be armed when they were
captured, and were placed against
the nearest wall and shot.
A special dispatch says that few of
the inhabitants of Constantinople are
aware of how dangerous a crisis was
passed through last week while the
town was in the hands of the muffin
GUS soldiers. 1t is stated that the
mutineers clamored for money and
threatened to attack and loot the Eu-
ropean quarter. In view of the ur-
gent need the Government succeeded
in borrowing $1,000,000 and was
able to pacify the men.
The city is animated, thousands
visiting the scenes of the fighting.
The Taxim and Tasch Kischia bar
racks were especial objects of inter
EST on account of the visible effects of
the bombardment. Many of the
guardhouses in the barracks still fly
the signals of surrender in the shape
of a white towel or shirt, or rags
hung from the windows. The tram
way and cab traffic has been re-,
sumed. Groups of the invaders, both
regulars and volunteers, are seen
everywhere, and the whole city pre-
sents a martial appearance.
Communications by land and water
were cut off to prevent the escape of
those compromised by recent events.
A house-to-house search was made,
and many arrests have been made.
Otherwise perfect tranquility and or

Governor Wilson has thus dis

in politics since the assassination at
Frankfort more than nine years ago.
He gave pardons several months ago
to Caleb Powers and James Howard,
both of whom had been convicted of

the crime, but Governor Wilson de-

Governor Wilson reiterates the
belief he expressed when he par
doned Caleb Powers and James B
Howard, that no one but Youtsey
had part in the murder, and that it
was not a conspiracy, as the Com
monwealth charged.
Governor Wilson states that nc
demand has been made on him by
the Commonwealth for requisitiop
to bring the fugitives back to Ken.

tempt will be made to prosecute
them.
Steele, Davis and Whitaker never
left the State, and although they
were in custody for some time, they
were not brought to trial. Not one
of those pardoned at this time has
ever been tried on the indictment
found against him. After Taylor
and Finley fed to Indiana the Gov
ernor of that State declined to grant
a requisition for their return, and
succeeding Governors followed his ex-
ample.
These pardons ends n of the most
remarkable murder cases in the his.
tory of the South. William Goebel,
a Democrat, was ass~assinated in front
of the Kentucky State Capitol while
he was contesting the election of w.
S. Taylor to the Governorship. The
contest had caused great excitement,
and thousands of men were armed,
ready for trouble. The Legislature
deposed Taylor, and he and Finley
were indicted on a charge of COM
plicity in the murder. They both fed
across the Ohio River into Indiana.
Caleb Powers, then Assistant Secre-
tary of State, was arrested and
charged directly with the murder. He
was convicted twice for first degree
murder, but Governor Wilson par
dOned him. He is now on a lecturing
tour through the country.

Oy three Democratic Governors OF
Kentucky were refused by three Re.
publican executives in Indiana. When
Governor Wilson, who is a Republi-
can, was elected it was forecast that
an end would be put to the whole
case. One OF his first acts was the
pardoning of Caleb Powers.
