Of the strike on ner claim AMI this

that she was rich girl now in her

smile as she reflected that the thing
ohe had longed for without hope of
attainment had come with confusing
swiftness and had EFT her unhappier
than ever.

VEIN OF RADIUM
 FOUND IN PORTUGAL

Lisbon, May 27-Particulars of the discovery in Portugal short time ago of mineral deposits which proved rich in radium show that the deposits are situated near Guarda, adjacent to the main line of the Paris-Lisbon Rail- way. The discovery was made in a curious manner. A British mining en- that the Portuguese in the vicinity at tributed remarkable health giving properties to certain stream. visited the locality and found that in one place the stream flowed over yellow quartz encrusted with crystals of uranite phosphate containing over 50 per cent. of uranium oxide.
 Prof. Barboni, formerly professor of chemistry in Paris, states that the mineral by reason of its greater facil- ity of treatment ought to be at least radium producing purposes. Prof Walden of the chemical department of Oxford University found the uranite particularly pure- It contains approxi- mately 360 millgrammes of radium to the ton of mineral. Investigations re- veal the existence of one main lode extending for a mile and a half, with a width of five feet at the surface to twelve feet at a depth of fifty feet The 1odes are true Assure lodes formed by volcanic action.
 portant since the chief source of the worlds radium supply in Bohemia is locked up and is only available for Austria. A syndicate of British capi- talists, it is announced, has obtained control of the Portuguese deposits. Ii is hoped that the price of radium will soon be reduced 50 per cent.

The present Cuban government ap- pears to be forgetful of this country's Lrightful claims upon the islands grat- Iatude- In the equipment of its army and coast defences, it has ordered ri ines from Germany and guns from EE'rance, and a strong element of the
 population demands that military in fetruction be obtained from Spanish, in stead of American officers. There is |no question that American rifles and cannon are fully the equals of foreign sweapons or that American officers are at least as competent instructors as
 Spanish officers would be. This Cuban
 discrimination against American wea- spons and officers appear to. be due
 wholly to prejudice. And yet this country has done more for Cuba than . xhe rest of the world combined, and at
 a heavy cost.

ARMOR PLATE FLAWS
 IN NORTH DAKOTA

Washington, May 27.-F1aws in the armor plate for the new battleships under construction have been discov- cred by the Naval Board of Examin- CTS, and it is announced that one of the large plates on the North Dakota has been found defective. The plate was passed upon favorably by the ex- aminers and was put in place when the law developed. The heavy steel has blistered in much the same manner that'wet paint blisters under intense heat.
 The fact that the plate deteriorated after having been swung into position has led the naval authorities to un- dertake an examination of all plates now attached to the sides of the vari- ous vessels. A thorough examination of the plates intended for the battle ship Delaware will be made Saturday by the board, and a. rigid inspection of the other vessels will follow

According to Senator Shively, the maximum and minimum provision of fhe pending tariff bill will not operate in accordance with the explanation originally given which was that when the President found that any nation was discriminating against American products he should apply the maxi mum rates to the products of that country, and that until such finding the minimum rates should rule. Sem ator Shively now asserts the exact op- posite. He holds that under the bill, the maximum rates will rule until the President has investigated and found, in the case of any given country, it does not so discriminate and is there fore entitled to the minimum rates. A very large task is thus imposed upon the President, and it's performance Svould consume a very considerable time, during which the maximum rates would prevail. It seems to be a very tricky, means of unduly and heavily increasing the tariff rates.

other hand some such scheme of reg- ulatiOn as might be effected by draw ing other corporations than railroads into the scope of the railroad commis- sion and enlarging both the numbers and the powers of that body might of fer solution that would satisfy the public and at the same time escape the charge of being revolutionary.
 This solution would not satisfy the public" The people are not very fla vorably disposed toward the railroad commission, and most certainly they would not approve of its enlargement unless the added members should out number the present commissioners and be entirely devoid of subservience to the corporations. Nor would they have much confidence in appointments made by Gov. Weeks who has come to be regarded with somewhat of a suspi- cion of being tarred with the corpo- rate stick.
