port of tbe Maine Court i of inquiry if
now in the hands of President McKiu
ley. The formal transmfssiou of this
momentous document was accomplish
ed at 9 40 this mornlntri It . was de
livered by Lieutenant jMarix, jude
advocate of the court of inquiry, to
Secretary Lon?, and by the latter
taken to the White House and handed
to tbe pre.irent. The arrival of the
report hardly created a ripple of ex
citement at the White House, except
amoug the newspaper correspmduuls
gathered there. Assistant Secretary
Day bad called about 9 o'clock, but as
tbe president was at breakfast he re
tired, aud returned at JO. Secretai y
Alger also came about half an hour
later, and was f 1 lowed by the post
master general and Secretary Bliss.
Tbe other members of tbe cabinet did
not arrive until about the usual hour
of meeting, 11 o'clock.
Secretary Long remained with tbe
president continuously up to the time
of assembling the cabinet. Callers at
the V hito House were told that tbe
president as engaged and cuulti not
be been. Long returned to .the navy
department at about 1 P. M., and at a
quarter past 1, the cabinet took a re
cess till 3 o'clock. In answer to in
quiries, it was stated tisat after the re
port had been carefultCTread -over, in
tEe preSenee-of affthg-Ineuibers-of lira
cabinet, a geueial discussion followed
of its principal features.
Marix was called in to explain some
matters not fully covered by the re
port. Further than this, no state
ment would be made or intimation
given by any Ctbii out officer as to the
contents of the report until it was
transmitted to congress on Monday.
Interest bordering on cou'jer . wus
manifested among officials of the nary
depart tneiit over the movements of tlie
Spanish fleet of torpedo-ooats from
the Canary inlands to i orto Uico. J tie,
flotilla is one of tbe most formidable f
its kind afloat, acd the sending of it to
the West Indies at this time, is regard
ed as an indication that Spain's en
deavor is to be prepared for any
emergency in or near Cuba.
Naval experts are of the opinion
that it will take the flotilla about ten
days to make tbe journey, but it is ex
ceedingly likely that it will actually
require several days longer The
liability of the boats to accident is
great, particularly if they should en
counter rough weather. -Then, too, if
they should be accompanied by col
liers, tbe speed of the fleet would be
reduced to tbat of the coalboats.

Terrible Fata of Kaalrraoff th Newfound
land Coaat.
St. John's. N. t. March 28. The
steamer Greenland has reached thl
harhor with a grewsome cargo.
Twenty-four corpses were on deck and
55 men were morning in terrible suf
ferl ig in the bold in the piin of frot
bitten limbs and bodies. The dead
bodies were on the decks disfigured
and almont unrecognizable. Tbe
effects f the terrible suffering which
they had endured presented one of the
most horrible sights bumaa eyes ever
beheld.
The Greenland set rail from St.
John's about the first of March on her
fateful voyage. She was commanded
by Captain George Barbour, and car
ried a crew of nearly 300 sealhuuters.
The steamer proceeded northward
with the rest of the sealing fleet, but
affc r a couple of hours she diverged on
a separate tpek, and reached the hunt
ng grounds not long after.
On Tuesday morning the hunters
left the ship about 7 o'clock, as usual.
when the lookout reported ice plenti
ful around them. The men were clad
n light clothing, for the slaughtering
of seals is ehausting work. Scatter
ed over the ice field, they wandered
far from the protection of the ship,
and a gala and snowstorm shut them
out from view. The ice floe parted
and they drifted away from the
steamer. Long ere the storm subcll
ed many of the unfortunate fellows
had succumbed to the terrib'ecold and
exposure. Those who did not die
were terribly frost bitten and suffered
excruciating pain.
The long night passed, but morning
brought no help, for the storm still
raged and the atmosphere was thick
with snow driven by the gale. Snow J
continued nearly all day, and the
evening brought no cessation to I he
hisrh wind. Another night was pass
ed in untold agony. Some of the vic
tims had already given up hope, and
in despair laid down and died. Every
hour witnessed at least two deaths.
Toward morning the storm subsided
and clear weather enabled tbe sur
fr,tvon tiehahe JSreecland was
n"l far away, searching for the miss
ing. The steamer bore down on the

Mat DUnau-r Mndx Public.
Washington, March 28 The find
ings of the court appointed to investi
gate the destruction of the attleship
Maine were transmitted to conuress to
day. The findings of the court are aa
follows:
At frame 17, the outer shell of the
ship, from a point Hi feet from the
middle line of the ship and six feet
above the keel when in normal position,
had been forced to about four fet
ahnye the surface of tbe water, there
fore, about 34 feet above where it would
have been, had she sunk uninjurej.
Tbe outside bottom plating is bent Into
a reversed "V" shape, ih- after wing
of which, about 15 feet hroad and 32
feet lonsr (from frame 17 o frame 25)
Uduuhled back upon itself against a
continuation of tne same platform ex
tending forward.
At frame 18, the vertical keel ia
broken in two and bent into a singular
anyle, formed by the outside plate".
This br-ak is about six feet b.-low the
surface of the wau-r a-d about 30 feet
above its normal position.
In the opinion of the court this effect
cou'd have been produced only by the
xplosion of a mine situated under th
bottom of the 9hip at about frame 18
and somewhat on the port side of tbe
ship.
Th conclusion" f the court are:
That the loss of the Maine was not
n any respect due to the fault of or
negligence on the part of any officer
or member of her crew.
That the ship was destroyed by the
explosion of a submarine mine, which
paused a par.ial exolosinn of two or
more of her forward maimz'ne, and
that no evidence ha been obtainable
fixing the responsibility for the de
struction of th Maine upon any pr
ion o" persons. 1 ' -
Tb report of the court was r1 furred

A seasonable and delicious way of
serving ice-cold raw tomatoes ! to re
move the inside of the fruit, leaving a
thick walL Take out the seeds, and to
the pulp add equal parte of dry mustard
and brown sugar, a little salt, pepper
sance and vinegar. Stir the mixture
into a paste and refill the tomato.
Do not put hot water or any kind of
water upon woollens that have had
liquid grease spilled upon them. First
sprinkle buckwheat or rye flour over
the place and let it absorb the grease,
brash off the flour, and apply then
fresh flour until all the grease is ab
sorbed. Aa excellent, receptacle to be placed
in a corner of a sewing-room for hold
ing pieces left from dTesses, bits of
new muslin and flannels that are al
ways required at hand for mending is
a common flour barrel. Cover the bar
rel with pretty cretonne or chintz,
plaiting the material and tacking it
upon the inside of the barrel and at
the top, drawing each plait smoothly
down. Fasten the plaits to the under
side of the barrel. Paste heavy brown
wrapping paper inside the barrel to
make a smooth lining. Lay a sheet of
wadding over tbe barrel top and cover
both sides with the cretonne, overhaul
ing the material together at the edge.
Make a box plaiting a little more than
a finger in width and sew around to
cover the edge. Fasten this cover to
the barrel with two pieces or tape to
serve for hinges, acd place a bow of
ribbon upon the top to make a handle
for lifting the cover. The barrel will
fit into a corner and be most conven
ient. :; When making custards for pudding
end the filling for custard pies, it the
milk is brought to the scalding point
and then stirred into the beaten eggs
and sugar and placed at once in thi
oven for baking it will require only half
the time usually allowed for cooking.
The range oven is not always in the
proper condition for baking when most
needed and causes much annoyance. A
custard pudding may be steamed, and
is oftentimes nicer than baked, being
more delicate. A cup custard will be
steamed eufficiently in 15 minutes.

Most game birds and animals, be
cause of a life of ceaseless activity, do
not take on fat, and such' should be
larded or cooked with slices of bacon
or salt pork placed on them. Do not
serve birds with heads on and undrawn,
as is quite generally practiced the
latter point being a relic of savagery,
the former an offense to sensitive
nerves. It fa pleasanter to enjoy a bit
of choice flesh without being so forci

birds. This is not the only instance

JOHANNESBURG GOLD.
Tba City Built on tba Precious
Metal
Yet the Kaowledff of the Assarts
Is Keceeaorr, It Is Said.. to Do-
teraalme Its Exact Lo- ;
eatloaw !''. t-.V" ,
It is comomnly said thst Johannes-"
burg ia built on gold; it might be as
truly said tbat it is built on science, or,
in the concretion cyanide of potassium.
I reckon that one-third of the work
able mines, possibly one-half, are now
shut down or unopened; but had it not
been for the MocArthur-Forrest cyan
ide process discovered just ten years
ago SO per cent, of the- workings still
open would be closed. From first to last
tbe extraction of gold is a matter of
chemistry. The visitor to a mlneralogi
cal collection has seen specimens of ore
with glittering flakes or crystal grains
of the precious metal. ' A well-known
Canadian geologist was once taken to
mine, and on the strength of tbe sheen
of splendid ore on the side walls of the
mine passages he gave a certificate of
the richness of tbe workings. The
sparkling nuggets had been placed
there, and tbe renown of tbe professor
suffered somewhat. You may traverse
tbe underground ways of Johannes
burg for miles without seeing a gleam
of what the miners call "visible." It is
the assayist who tells us there Is gold,
and with refined modern methods' he
can say exactly how much; but, so far.'
it passes the wit of man to get it all
out. When a lump of ore is brought to
tbe surface, if it contains any gold at
all it is rarely more than one grain in
0,000, oftener one in 50,000. The first
thing to determine is whether there Is
any likelihood of any of tbe metal For
this purpose there has lately come into
pretty general use the sorting process.
What is wanted is the conglomerate,
the rock, known as reef, with quarts
pebbles and flinty cement. The rest is .
waste.
I was pleased at the Celdenhuis Deep
to see that the Kaffirs were intelligent
enough to separate the wheat from the
chaff. The rough stone passed before
them on a revolving table, and they
could at once distinguish by inspection
the lumps of quarts or sandstone that
were no good; though, aa I have said,
there is not from one week's end to an
other a scintillation of gold to guide
them. This done, the remaining ore is
crushed in steel mortars by metaT
stamps or pestles weighing over 1,000
pounds each. They pound the stone so
exceedingly small that it flows out in a
thin stream of muddy water through a
screen with meshes numbering 700 to
POO per square inch. Night and day these
ponderous stamps are grinding to this
minuteness quartz, pebbles, pyritic iron
and flinty cement that have for untold
ges been buried like misers, embrac
ing their treasure deep in tbe rocks. All
the rest is pure chemistry. The soapy
looking water flows over copper plates
faced with quicksilver. Man, himself Is
not more eager than this clement to .
clutch the precious metal, and before
the liquid has flowed a foot the mercury
has laid hold of all the free gold. The
two form an amalgam, and the mercury.
being easily retorted off by heat, can
be used again and again. But - the
mercury has taken out only about one-
half the gold. Tbe other half is locked
in the embrace of pyritic iron and other
base materials, and from these it Is set
free by tbe use of chlorine gns, which
has an affinity for gold, and thecysnJdo
of potassium, which causes the grains
of metal floating in the solution to pre
cipitate and attach themselves to sine
Bhavings. Roughly speaking, the mer
cury captures 60 per cent, of the gold,
chlorine 12, and the cyanide 28 percent.
There is still left in thellms 10 per
cent., more or less, unrecovered.
In the course of the yesr taere
must be at least 750,000 wortn
of bullion thrown away on the
Witwntcrsrand. Treatment of the
slimes now In progress Is saving a ii1?
tion of this smount. Tbe Crown lteef
got 1,103 ounces out of the refuse lsst
month, but some of it will alwsys bo
lost. This waste of man is nothing to
the waste by nature. The reefs that re
main are a mere patch, probably, to
those thot once existed. They are what
is left after sges of denudation. But
enough remains. Mr. Budd recently .
stated that before the century was out
the Rand might ba producing bullion
for 20,000,000 sovereigns per annum.
Near as we are to 1900, the estimate ia
not extravagant. When the rich deep
levels get all to work the effect will bo
enormous. London Telegraph.
Flahlas Dories.
The American fishing-vessels are
schooners. You can tell them by tho
dories1 which, when not in .use, are
"nested" set one Inside the other on
deck. An ordinary ship's boat usual
ly has a ring in the bow end stern, into
which the ropes by which it is hoisted
aboard are hooked. A dory, however,
has a long eye in the painter (the rope
at the bow), and in the stern a "becket"
a loop formed by passing a rope
through two holes. There are five
dories to the average fishing vessel, and
two men to a dory, besides the captain
snd the cook, who remain aboard while
the dories are out. The first thing the
dories, do is to "run their gear" set
their traw!. A trawl is a line, about a
mile long, from which 1.000 hooks hang
by smaller lines. At each end of the
1rawl is a keg-float The kegs of dif
ferent vessels are identified by - dis
tinctive little flags, and marked with
the vessel's name. The kegs are an
chored, and tbat pari of the line to
which hooks are ttached rests on the
bottom. On a forenoon in fine weather
the dories will "under-run" the trawls
will begin taking them up at one end.
and as fast as they take a fish off tbe
hook, will rehalt and throw the line
over, hook by hook. But in tbe evening
they take up tbe enltre trawl, retui
wit h it to the vessel, bs it up abosrd, and
set the trawl again. Gastav Kobbe. la
