The navy department continues to be
the center ot public interest, owing to
tbe preparation! going on there for the
Schley court ot inquiry, althjuju OH a
matter of fact, those preparations are
largely routine ' and are by no means
exciting or sensational. One of Admiral
Schley's counsel, Capt. Parker, ia dill
gently searching tbe ollicial records for
facts beating on the matters that will be
brought before the court. lie objected
to having everything he did overlooked
by a naval officer, but bo was shown tbe
naval regulation, that forbids any per
son outside of the s-ryico having accc
to the oflkia! records except in the
presence o( an ol&cer. , CapL-Lemly,

Aot a low lovers of molasses will be
interested in the remark of Mr.- Emile
.lanin, of New Orleans, now slopping at
a Washington hotel,' who said: "There
is now practically none of tho old
fashioned ew Orleans molasses, ol
which we were all so fond in vur boy
hood days., lis disappearance ie due to
tbe general use of the centrifugal pro.
cess in manufacturing sugar. The
molasses and syrup of today are mostly
glucose, and strange as it may seem,
New Orleans is one of tbe largest con
sumers of glucose in tbe world. Olucoae
is made from corn. It ia sweet, though
not nearly so sweet at the juice of the
sugar cane, and incidentally is ' the
most indigestible thing in the world.
The dealers of New Orleans srojresponsi
ble for the Immense consumption of
glucose there. An investigation by tho
Biigar exchange developed this. It was
covered that thoy added about three
barrels of glucoso to each barrel of
molasses and sold the mixture as New
Orleans molasses."
AVhile disctissing tho relative strength
of the labor organisations uf Great
Britain and the Cuited Status, JJr.
William Eckwaley, a SaellielU, England,
steel, inauuiacturer who hits reached
Washington in the course of a leisurely
business tour of this country, said:
"You have some knowledge of the
strength of labor unions, but. I doubt ii
operatives in the dillerout trades are las
united or aa powerful iu this country as
in tireat Britain. It ia no unusual thing
for a body of laborers representing all
the men of a certain class in tireat
Britain, to have :f,000,000 or $3,000,000
in their reserve fund. The coal workers,
for Instance, are composed of the men
employed in England, Scotland and
Wales, and their fund was about $L,000
000 wheu I last saw a report of It.
Your people, except the common un
skilled: laborers get higher wanes than
ours, but they have to pay mora to. live
in eveiy way."
The project of pensioning civil em
ployes ol the government, without ex-
liense to the government is (gain being
actively agiuiea in Washington. The
united btates civil service retirement
association, organized t year or two ago
io pusn tnis project has been reorganixed
and will prepare a bill, which congress
will be asked to pass, : This bill will
b". bases' upon Information given in
resiKiiiue to an act of the last coiiirress.
calling nnon the heads of departments
iu. ami. oc employee giving ages and
length of service and will provide fur
the creation of a peiisiun fund, by the
retention ol a small percental of all
civil salaries, probably about Itiree -per
cent. It will provide that retired civil
employee shall be paid onHialf" the
salaries they were rarilvinirwti.t
retired. The only expense to the gov.
eminent, under this plan, would lie for
the clerical help needed for the collec
tion and disbursement of the pVneion
fund. It is claimed that the United
States is the only one of the great
civl!ix-d nations that does not provide
in some wav ,for the pension of nged
CiVil service employes, franco lis a
system something like the one proposed.
1 lie rest of Urn nations pay the pensions
from public funds.
A Brief History of American Journ
alism" is the title of a book which will
shortly be publithed by the library of
congress. It will cover something likf
2,000 pages, and will include the name
founder, and such Information aa may
be of interest, of every publication ever
printed in this country up to the close of
1900. The compiler ol the huok. Vr
ftalph M. McKenzie, of the library
ttatr said of Ids work: "When it ie
remembered that a thousand periodicals
become extinct in this country every
year, and that nearly 22,000 were Issued
in the year IM0, you will understand
something of the task which I bave Ju-t
nntsned. ibe first newspaper was
printed io America in 1704, and have
gone over b fluid for the whole two
centuries since that day."
According to a report from the United
State consel at Vancouver, IS. C., labor
strikes have paralyied btKi'nesa in that
section. He says tbe trackmen of tbe
CanaJian Pacific Railwav are on a
strike andjlhe employes J.f tbe North
pirt suieltur, at Itoealsnd, which has
bn shipping Un thousand tons of ore
weekly, many of whom are American
citizens are also on a strike. The latter

St&te School Fund.
Ciias. 8. Moore, the state treasurer
Thursday mado the annul apportion
ment of tho interest on the irreducible
school fund of Oregon, collected during
the past year. The total number of per
sons of school age in the state was found
to be lo5,818, the amount of money ap
portioned, floT,llU7.9u, making a per
capita distribution of (1.22. This is a
smaller apportionment than was made
last year or in I8in, and is explained by
tbe fact that in lsyj and 1000, a large
amount of accrued interest was collected
and made available for distribution
among the schools, while this year there
ia less of Unit, the back interest having
been colluded up during tho two pre
vious years. Another matter having an
iiilluunos in reducing thin year's appor
tionment is the fact that the interest
rate of school fuud loans have boen re
duced from 8 to 0 per cent per nuunni,
a loss to tho schools of 2? per cent in
their income. The tollowing Uiu up

this coming winter than of any In the
past. These big mines were recently
purchased by Kastorn capitalists for
t'.K),000. Tho new owners have mado
extoneivo improvements and did much
that will aid Iu increasing the output of
tho mines.
J. K. Sharp, of tho Murphy hydraulic
mines, in tho Powell Creek district, yes
terday stated that they aro fitting up
ana" adding to their equipment iu their
placer 'workings, preparuttry to noxt

Tho Columbia, Lewis, Steam Uocrand

extensive preparations for tho coming
winter's run. At tho Lewis tho bunk
houso. messhouso and other building's
are being romoved farther np the slope
of the hill, in order that tho anriforous
ground on which they were built may he
sulijocted to tho giant this coming sea
son. Manager Fobs believes tliat. tho
riclmet dirt of the Lewis mine it that on
which , the residence and messhotise
were built. This will all bo torn up by
the giants when tho water of fall arrives.
Manager Hampton, of tbo Columbia, rri
porls that they aro repairing flumes,
mending ,ditclies and arranging piH'S,
with ttio expectation, of a big run next
year, likewise a big cleanup. .The orew
of Captain Nusli ut work iu that district
on tho flvo-milo-, ditch for hit big hy.

aro proceeding rnjiidly witli their work,
and it is nn assured fuct thut Uiu now

working a rich free-milling vein that
shows np richer and better as depth is
