ing them that privilege.
Senatoii 1'effrh has announced thai
lie will make a fight on tho cxtrava-
ganco of public funerals for senators
. nndconprc&smcn. From being a mark
"3f huiiof-to-thd memory of public serv-
ants theso funerals have become tho
pretext for costly junkets.
Tiik pold e.cltement was roportcd
growing daily In Oklahoma and hun-
dreds of prospectors wero at work.
Samples of sandstone brought into
Guthrie assayed from 10 to ?G0 per

Edison- looks for a gold mining boom
In this country because new methods
secure a profit in mines that have been
closed because they were too expensive
to work. The Kaffir excitement has
served to call attention to tho far
greater gold resources of the United
States.
TimKR times as many American
horses have been sold in England this
year as were called for In 1S94 arid
their average price at tho pot ts of
shipment has been $155. They aro
used chiefly fordraughtin London and
there is a future for horses suited to
commercial and military uses.
Tim battery of dy namito guns which
stiotyhos along the bluffs south of
Fort Point Cal. for nearly a mile is
now ready to deal out destruction to
any Invading navy that may appear
within 3 miles of the Golden gate.
Lieut. Molroy' who has charge of the
battery says It is the largest In tho
world.
A 2tT!Mnrii of military men compos-
ing the officers and directors of tho
Vicksburg Military Park association
which was organized a short time ago

gress to rjavo tho battlefield converted
into a military park.
L'ETzpN' Hallikt professor of engi-
neering chemistry and physics at tno
Arkansas Mothodlst college at Arka-
dolphla has discovered a now raothod
for tho manufacture of illuminating
gas. Tho gas is colorless and capable
of giving a very high heat and will
yield a twslvo candlo power from an
ordinary Illuminating burner. The
process is purely chemical and Is the
cheapest known. The discovery Is at-
tracting considerable attention In the
scientific world.
GOTTON seems likely to become an
Important factor in the question of the
treasury gold reserve at least tempo
rarily. The recent brisk demand for
cotton in Liverpool sent the markol
up with a bound and as n result tho ex
port movement will doubtless set in
in earnest soon which means cotton
bills sufficient to meet tho do rem ml and
stop or limit gold shipments. Already
largo transfers of currency have been
made by the sub-treasury at Now York
to Now Orleans to pay for tho movo-
ment of tho cotton crop.
A coMrAXV has been incorporated in
Now York city for supplying cold air
for refrigerating purposes to hotels
restaurants meat shops and house-
holds through a plpo service similar
to thatemplojed in the distribution of
steam. The cold air will be piped into
mains laid beneath the street and tho
house connections made by service
pipes. For isolated customers in dis-
tricts removed from the plpo service
the refrigerating material is delivered
in a steel cylinder similar to those in
which soda water is delivered to (Irug
stores.
Ax advanced step has been taken by
tho Indian bureau this year In the mat-
tor of the clothing distribution to tho
children in tho Indian schools. Ono
regular uniform for pupils in all those
schools besides doing away with In-
vidious contrasts will emphasize tho
relations of the schools to tho central
governing authority at Washington.
It Is the desire of tho Indian bureau to
educate the bravo out of his blanket
and leggings into tho clothing in uso
in civilized white communities by pro-
viding a riatty-looklng bluo flannel
suit In placo of tho gray-brown shoddy
now in uso.
SECiiETAitr Hoke Smith recommends
that the Carey law granting 1.000.00C
acres of arid lands to each stato in
which such lands are situated be so
amended that tho grants bo made tc
the states outright and the states be
made responsible for tho irrigation of
tho lands. As tho law now stands
it would bo many years beforo tho
states would receive tho benefit of
tho grant and Secretary Smith be-
lieves tho states can better carry out
tho Intention of congress if they get
control of tho entire grant at once in-
stead of waiting until wator Is secured
for the lauds.
Wvomixo Is to bo again hunted over
for elk deer and moose to restock the
Scottish highland preserves owned by
wealthy Britishers. Wyoming and
northern Colorado are about the only
places loft in the United States where
the elk is wild in abundance. It will
be remembered that shipments of Wy-
oming game were made several yeart
Bgo at which time a great hubbub wa
raised nil over the country against the
method of stocking the English game
preserves at the expense of the Ameri-
can. The game to fill the latest order
will undoubtedly como from tho north-
ern part of Wyoming

tho United States.
A dispatch to tho Loudon News

OUR MILITIA.
Attention Cnllcil tojtlin Inauniolent Appro-
priation Made fnr Tlinin.
Washington Nov. 20. Tho most im-
portant subject treated by Gen. Flag-
ler chiof of ordnance in Ills annual
reporb to tho secretary of war l.that
of forming and equipping tho militia
of tho United States. Ho calls atten-
tion to the insufficient appropriations
annually made for this purpose and
suggests-thnt in the event congress does
not provldo liberally for this important
branch of the country's defenders
it at least should mako certain changes
in tho present law with tho object oi
permitting the ordnance bureau to re-
place the old arms now In use with
weapons of a serviceable typo and uni
form character. Some of tho stutct
have requested that the present arms
bo exchanged in favor of the now mng
azino rifle and Gen. Flagler showf
that 11 would cost about 81000-
000 to mako this change and
that the new rille while well
suited as to long rango is not so well
ndaptcd for close rango and hard bcrv
Ico as tho Springfield ilflc. His con
elusion is that It would be hotter to re-
tain tho Springfield gun at present
during times of peace whllo If wnr
should break out tho well-drilled mili-
tia could in two weeks timo familiar-
izo themselves with tho magazine gun.
Meanwhile It should be tho policy ol
tho goverument to accumulate a con-
siderable supply of theso guns In the
armories for uso In an emergency.
LITTLE CORN MOVING.

Kansas Citv Mo. Nov. 20. Knnsaa
and Nebraska with corn crops approx
imatlng 330000000 bushels If govern
meat estimates are right aro now
sending to Kansas City only about
two-thirds as much corn ns thoy were
sending at this timo last year out of
crops estimated to bo about S5.000-
000 bushels. Tho explanation of
the small recolpts as everybody
knows is tho widespread dispo-
sition in tho country to hold
corn to store It away to await
an ndvance in price. The "cribbing"
demand is absorbing nenrly all tho
corn which farmors arodollverlntr. und
farmers are not delivering nny more
than they aro compelled to sell to
nraet tho demands upon them for ready
money. So the big crops fail to come
to tho central markets.

WahinBton Nov. 30 There Is a
KrowhiK probability that tho Republi-
cans at their caucus on next Mondny
will decide to attempt to reorganize tho
senate on Republican linens ard that
a candidate fqr prrsMcnt pip tern will
ttion be decides! tipart.
Quite a number of Republican sena-
tors InclndlnB three or four members
of the MciirlnR commSttee were at the
oapltol today arod nn Informal exchange
of views among them resulted In the
g-eneral adoption of this conclusion.
There is a difference of opinion as to
the wlndom of attempting more than
die election of a presldim? officer in the
befilnnlnK but the preponderance of
opinion Is that action at that time will
be confined to this oltlce. If tho Re-
publican candidate succeeds In this con-
tosrt the Republicans will then place
candidates in the field for other elec-
tive offices.
So far Senator Fryc's name Is the on
ly one hpird In connection with the of-
'flce of preiddetvt protem but there aro
several aspirants for the offher offices.
Among thoF who are spoken of for
fihrrfiinry of the Bonnie are Hon. George
CGorhnm who formerly hdld this of-
f0j Mr. Durfee who was for many
years clerk ot the senate committee on
flnnnce.a ml George Baber of Kentucky.
For sprse-int-Qt-arms F. IC. Valentine
of Nebraska. Captain Curtis of New
Hampshire Major Grant of North Car-
olina nnd Mr. Shaw of Washington
state are already in the llekl.
HOUSE CANDIDATES.
Ohio and Indiana have declared for
McDowell and Glenn for clerk and door
keeper respectively of the house.
There Is now practically not doubt of
the re-elpdtton of ex-eRpreerta'tlvo Mc-
Dowell. Ohio probably secures the
postmastorshlp by endorsing- McDowell.
It Is understood that Captain McKeo
of Indrtana ls.ro be made Journal clerk.
The prescrtt rlate for elective offices nt
the house reads:
Alex McD.rVell of Pennsylvania
clerk; Benjamin F. J. Russell of Mis-
souri Fertfwint-ait-aims; W. J Glenn of
New York doorkeeper; J. C MoElroy
of Ohio potitmaster; Rev. Mr. Fisher of
Kansas chaplain. The house caucus
will be held Saturday nlflrht.
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Ex-Speaker Crisp arrived here tlds
mornlnn and after consultation with
ome pf the Democratic leaders It waa
dccMed to hold the house Democrwrtjc
c-vueus tomorrow afternoon. The cau-
cus will probably bo very brief as no
Bttsrmpt will be made to outline a policy
for the comng session. The line to be
pursued by the Democrats will depend
upon the developments of the majority.
Ex-Speaker Reed U jruardlng tho
make-up of committees with the great-

ways and means committee"; Hit't of
Illinois that of foreign affairs; Hender-
son of Iowa aprepriatlona; Grosve-

Taooma Wash. Nov 8''. Inquiry at
the Northern Pacific office reveals that
no tidings have yet been received from
the missing steamer Strathnevls which
cleared for Yokohama October 12 and
left Victoria the next day. She Is now
forty-eight days out from Tacoma. Sec-
ond Officer Smith ofthe steamer Tn.
I'uiuu wiiiuii uiuvpu iubi nignt says;
"I have not given up hopa that the
Strathnevls will yet turn up all right.
She must have run short of coal and
put In at some port In the Aleutian
Islands. They have plenty of con-
densed milk and flour on board.
"If Captain Pattls djd put his vessel
In there It can be picked up all right by
a British man-of-war sent out from
either Victoria or Yonohama but if tho
Strathnevls Is disabled and drifts much
south of the track followed by Orlential
steamships and sailing vessels the men
are liable to die of starvation before be-
ing picked up. If the steamship finds a
snug anchorage In the Aleutian islands
she is liable to lie thero all winter mak-
ing Yokohama in the spring."
The Strathnevls made two trips on
the Northern Pacific line. She carried
a cargo of 2000 tons of general freight
and had a passenger list of 125 Chinese
most o them being merchants from
Chicago New York Buffalo. Boston
and Philadelphia who were returning
home for their first visit after the
Chinese war. Five deported Chinese
from this state and Montana were also
on board.
The Strathnevls Is commanded by
Captain James Pattle whose officers
fere as follows: Chief officer J. S. Dun-
can; second officer W. Robertson; third
officer W. MoFarland; chief engineer
J. Rose; secoiuj engineer A. Bll; third
engineer I. Coulter: fourth officer J.
Love; purser. J. McDonald.

launched hi July. 1S91. Her length Is
389 feet over all and she has dead
weight carrying capacity of 6700 :ons.
Her vpeed Is 10V4 knots an hour and in
