Failure of the Supply Causes Great Inconventence, From the Philadelphia Record. The first rolling mill that used natural gas exclusively was the Etna iron works of Spang, Chalfont & Co.,in Allegheny county, a few miles above Pittsburg; and this es- tablishment has been one of the last to abandon this fuel in the Pittsburg district. After twenty years of dependence upon natural. gas the proprietors of this plant have removed the pipes and are now re- turning to the use of coal, long after most of the other mills had surrendered to the cheap bituminous fuel which has always been the chief foundation of Pittsburg’s great industrial prosperity. The diminish- ing supply and the consequent increase in cost have necessitated the abandonment of natural gas by most of the large manufac- turing establishments in the Pittsburg dis- trict, and its use is being more and more restricted to domestic:purposes. Pittsburg has again become the snioky city of fifteen years ago, alleviated in,some measure by the use of fuel ott an manufactured gas, which have assumed importance with the decline of natural gas.in the last four or five years. eid Natural gas was not;a factor of very great importance in the Pittsburg district until early in the eighties, and the point of greatest consumptiog Was reached in 1888, after which the declife began. It has never been feasible to ascerlain with accuracy the quantity of natufal as consumed each year, but Mr. Joseph D. Weeks of Pittsburg has prepared for the Unjted States geologi- cal survey an estimate 6f the value of the coal displaced by natural ges, which has st practical meas- been accepted as the mM ure of the consumptiop of gas. ‘In the period of its largesf uge the natural gas corfsumed in Pennsaiy pn. measured on was valué follow: > this b: failed even more rapidly than in Pennsyl- vania. The largest consumption in Ohlo was in 189, when it amounted In. value to $5, 215,000; but_in 1893 it had fallen to $1,510, 000. The suddenness of the failure of the supply has caused much inconvenience and loss “to manufacturing establishments, which in many instances were deprived of fuel almost without warning. While the supply of natural gas in Pennsylvania and Ohio has been diminishing a new pro- ductive region has come into prominence in Indiana, and interest in natural gas is now centered in that state. In 1886 the value of the gas consumed in Indiana was estimated at only $300,000; in I8SS it was figured at $1,220,000, and in 1893 the value was placed at $i, 000. The opening of thisémew field has stimulated the development of iron and steel and glass enterprises in Indiana in a marked degree. Notwithstanding _ the abundance of the present supply in Indiana there is no assurance of its continuance for a longer period than in other states? and a return to fuels more stable, if less con- venient. is merely a question of time. In fact, it is claimed by geologists and gas experts that the point of greatest supply has been reached. While it lasts there is no fuel that possesses so many advantages as natural gas. The uncertainty of its duration is its only disadvantage. et Sig ek Re LAZY PEOPLE'S BICYCLE. Run by a Little Hot Air Engine That Weighs Twelve Pounds. From the Chicago Tribu In trying to get up a motor suitable for an airship an inventor has evolved a lazy man’s bicycle. All the exertion that is re- quired of the rider is to keep his balance and steer the machine. The power that propels it is furnished by a hot alr appa- ratus so light that it adds only twelve pounds to the weight of the machine, and so simple that it docs not mar the sym- metry of the wheel in the eyes of the bicycle crank.

These -ngines are 2 5-% inches in diameter and 6 inches stroke. A nickeled tank in front of the. operator carries the coal ofl, which is conveyed through the frame to the cylinders; of the engines, where it is mixed with.air. A small pri- mary battery, the same, as is used with ordinary door bells, is carried in the tool bag, from which a copper wire leads to the interior of the éngities. It is a well- known law that rapid evaporation of any fluid produces cold,;the more rapid the evaporation the more {intense the cold. This engine utilizes this principle. The first or backward mbvertient of the piston or plunger pumps the engine full of air and at the same time. admits the desired charge of coal oil. fhe, same movement produces an electric spark which vaporizes the coal oll and céols‘'the engine. The second or forward movement of the piston compresses this compousd of ofl and air into one end of the gylinder, when just as the piston starts backward another electric spark explodes the vapor, thus producing pewer. The admission valve is opened mechanically every other time, thus allow- ing the burnt gases to escape. The for- ward wheel is twenty-two inches in diam- eter, the rear wheel twenty inches. Both are fitted with four-inch pneumatic tires. Speed is regulated by throttling the oil supply. In making a stop or in holding up on a down grade it is only necessary to shut off the ofl supply and the electric current; the engines then act as an auto- matic brake. The motor cycle ridden by W.

DOING PRELIMINARY WORK —— ZANESVILLE, Ohio, May 28.—The Ohio republican convention met here this after- noon to nominate a governecr and a fuil state ticket. Senator Jehn Sherman was temporary chairman. He delivered the following speech on taking the chair: Gentlemen of the Convention: I thank you for the honor you have conferred upon me in selecting me to preside over this great conveition. You have met to desis- nate the next governor of the state of Ohio. You have a good many candidates before you, but each of them is worthy of the highest honor you can confer. You have the assurance that whoever you may nomi- nate will have the hearty support of all the candidates and of each member of the convention. You have also to select several of the chief executive officers of the state. I need not impress upon you the import- ance of selecting those who will honestly and faithfully perform the duties asgigned them. You have a still higher duty, to an- nounce the principles and policy of the re- publican party in the state of Ohio and in the United States. What you wiil say here will have an important influence beyond the liralts of your State, for the intelligent action of the republicans of Obio will, as in the past, indicate the opinions of republi- canism in all parts of the United States. We have a common falth and cree: We act together on great matiers on prin- ciple, on smail matters for discipline. Mark of the Party. The primary and fundamental sentiment of the republican party is love for our country, our whole country. We are for the Union, one and indivisible, now and forever. The republicans of Ohio are not provincial, but national. This is our corner stone, planted in the first republican convention in Ohio in 1855. We stoud by it in the storms of war, when Lincoln wa3 our standard bearer. Our sol- diers fought for it under Grant, Sherman and Sheridan. The soldiers of Ohio carried our flag in every great battle of the war for the preservation of the Union. Other patriotic citizens and soldiers were equally deserving of honor and praise, but they could not carry their party with them. When Grant was in the Wilderness and Sherman was before Atlanta a great party declared the war a failure. Ours made it a success. When the war was over we did not treat our enemies as conquered subjects, but as erring brethren. We invited them back into the Union, with unabridged power, prescribing only one condition, that there should be no slaves in our country. We now meet them and greet them as friends, and, turning our back on dead issues, we corgratulate them on their prosperity, which they did not and could not have in their condition prior to the war. ‘When the war was over the republican party developed its civil policy. First of all it declared its purpose to pay every debt or obligation contracted during or since the war, that the public faith should be unblemished. This promise has been verformed. Protection and the Pension Roll, In spite of all temptation, and the shrieks of populists, we have discharged every obligation contracted during the war, and, especially, the highest and most sacred debt to the surviving soldiers of the war, their widows and orphans. The pension roll is a roli of honor, higher in amount than any pension roll ever before provided by any nation. While the republican party is in power it will only be diminished by the death of pensioners, a fate that awaits us all. We are in favor of a protective tariff. We had such a tariff. While it was in force we had prosperity, good times and money plenty. We had so diversified our domestic industries that American labor and American capital supplied nearly all the wants of the American people. We pre- fer to tax foreign production rather than our own. We believe that protection should be extended to all pro- ductions impartially, to labor on the farm as well as in the workshop. We are op- posed to the democratic policy of protect- ing woolen manufactures and admitting wool free of duty. We denounce a scheme of taxation which annually increases the public debt more than $50,000,000. This is the result of demo- cratic ascendancy. The tariff! law of the last Congress is partly a copy, and gen- erally a failure. All that is good of it was taken from the McKinley tariff, and the rest of it is confessedly a hotchpotch. The Supreme Court has already disposed of part of it. All the productions of the south, from peanuts to whisky, are carefully protected, While the duties on the great staple in- dustries of the north are largely reduced, and, on some articles, like wool, are en- tirely repealed. We demand a reform in the tariff, not to promote sectional in- terests, but to secure ample revenue and impartial protection to domestic industries. This we can have only by the election ofa republican President. We want a change, and for this change we will have the hearty support of a large portion of the demo- cratic party. Sound Currency. We are in favor of a sovnd national cur- rency, always redeemable in coin. All forms of money should be of equal purchas- ing power. For fourteen years after the re- sumption of specie payments, while the re- publican party was in power, we had such a currency. We had gold, silver and paper money, all bearing the stamp and sanction of the United States, of unquestioned credit and of equal vajue, passing current not only within the United States, but in all parts of the commercial world. Both gold and silver are indispensable for vse in the varied wants of mankind. Gold is now, and has been for ages, the chief measure of value in international merce and the larger transactions of do- mestic exchanges. Silver, from its bulk and weight, is not available for large payments either at home or abroad, but it is indis- pensable in the minor wants of mankind. Gold, from its greatly superior value, can- not be utilized for such purposes. Ther2- fore it is that both metals have been coined into money at fixed ratio. Why Silver Has Fallen. The enormous increase of the production of silver in the United States, Mexico and Australasia has disturbed this ratio and has lowered the market value of silver, pre- cisely as a like increase of production has lowered the price of other commodities. It is a universal law that price or value is measured by quantity. Under these con- ditions the rational and proper course would be a change of ratio, but this can only be effective as to these two metals by a concert of action among commercial na- tions. Until this can be accomplished the only logical way is for each nation to coin both metals and maintain the coinage of the cheaper metal at par by Imitation of amount, and redemption when in excess of the demand for it. Such is now the policy of the United States and of every great commerdial na- tion, including évery country in Europe. Other nations adopt the silver standard alone, not from choice, but from poverty. I believe that the policy of the United States, adopted in 1833, of coining frac- tional silver coins in limited quantities from silver bullion purchased at market price, and making them legal tender for mali sums, is the only way to preserve the parity of gold and silver coins at a fixed ratio. This is properly called bimetallic morey. I hope and believe that the com- mon interests of commercial nations will lead them, through an international com- mission, to efther adopt a new ratio based on market value of the metals or to coin them and maintain them, as we do, at their present ratio. The policy now urged by the producers of silver and by men who wish to pay their debts in cheaper money than they promised to pay, is the free coinage of silver. This means the single standard of silver and the demonetization of gold. This is the only monometallic system. It is the degradation of our dollar to fifty cents. If applied to our national bonds it is a repudiation of the policy of | {have utterly failed. Mr. !tcntion that the destruction of one-half one-half of the public debt. It is the re- pudiation of one-half of all debts. It con- fers no favors on producers of any kind whether of the farm, the workshop or the mine, for if they get. nominally more dol- lars for their productions their additional dollars would have only one-half the pur- chasing power of the gold dollars. The great hardship of this policy would fall upon workingmen, skilled or unskilled, whose daily wage measured by the present standard is higher than in any country of the world. Their wages will purchase more of the necessaries of life than the wages pafd for similar labor anywhere outside of the United States. It is a false pretense that the cheapening of money will be beneficial to them. The republican party in its national platform of 1892 demanded good money of equal purchasing power, whether coined of silver or gold, or composed of United States notes and national bank notes, based upon the credit of the United States, maintained at par with coin. Where Republicans Stand. This is the bimetallic policy. There we stand today. I hope and trust there we will stand forever. We will seek the co- operation of all nations and of ali parties in maintaining the parity of gold and silver coins. If they will not co-operate with us in this policy the republican party can and, I hope, wili do it alone. Good money and plenty of it is as im- portant to all our people as equality of rights and privileges. Let us, then, with a firm reliance upon the principles, policy and wisdom of the great party to which we belong, nominate our candidate and declare our platform, and then make our appeal to the intelli- gence of the people of Ohio. In all the great issues made in the last forty years the republican party of Ohio has had the courage to propose and to do what is right. Let us now follow in the same pathway, and we will not only elect a republican governor and state officers, but also an- other republican Senator, and I hope a President of the United States from the State of Ohio. ~~. MR. CARLISLE CRITICISED. Senator Stewart Takes the Secretary to Task for His Speeches. . Senator Stewart does not think‘very much of Mr. Carlisie’s late utterances at Mem- phis and Covington. Commenting on these speeches, in conversation with a Star re- porter today, Mr. Stewart said: “Mr. Carlisle's labored denial at Coving- ton and Memphis that he was ever in favor of the free coinage of silver was a sad ex- hibition of the weakness of a great man. In the course of his great speech (for length) he remarked: ‘As long as there ap- peared to be reasonable ground for the hope that silver could be raised to a parity of value with gold at the ratio of 16 to 1 by the separate action of the United States I was willing to make the experiment, but I was never wiliing to make it by legisla- tion providing for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at that or any other ra- tio.” n his speech in the House of Repre- sentatives in 1878, advocating free coinage, = he is now laboring to explain, he said: “*My position upon this subject is briefly this: I am opposed to free coinage of elther gold or silver, but in favor of unlimited coinage of both metals upon terms of exact equality.’ “This is the full extent of the demand of the bimetallists—‘the unlimited coinage of both metals upon terms of exact equality.’ The paltry seigniorage of three-tenths of 1 per cent for coinage advocated by some is not of the slightest consequence. That was the only qualification made by Mr. Carlisle 1g his advocacy of unlimited coin- age in 18% Mr. Carlisie’s Votes. “But if he can satisfy the people that he did not mean what he said in his speech in Congress he cannot obliterate the record of his numerous votes in both houses of Congress for the free and unlimited coinage of silver by the United States alone at the ratio of 16 to . Mr. Stewart then referred to seven oc- casions when Mr. Carlisle voted in Con, gress for free silver and to the fact that in two Congresses he had, while Speaker of the House, appointed Mr. Bland, a free silver man, chairman of the committee on coinage, weights. and measures. He then spoke of the demonetization of silver at some length, but saying nothing new upon the subject, and then continued: “I have read Mr. Carlisle's long speeches with care and attention to discover, if pessible, some new idea which the author of hard times and falling prices (Mr. Sher- ™man) had not already advanced, but I Sherman's con- of the world’s metallic money was a good thing for the people is just as adroitly maintained by the veterans of the goid standard as by the. new convert who pre- sides over the Treasury Department. The only difference 1s, like all new converts, Mr. Carlisle is more rash and enthusiastic than the veteran leaders he imitates. “It would have been better for Mr. Cleve- land to have rested the case on his rotund generalities, which he does not explain, and the vain chatterings of the Mortons and the Eckelses than to have allowed the in- consistencies and absurdities of gold mo- ncpoly. to be exposed in the conspicuous language of Secretary Carlisle. - HARSH WoRDS THE SOUTH. Ex-Senator Butler Responds to Gow Evans’ Address. Gov. Evans of South Carolina, in his recent fiery address to the people of his state, referred in the following words to ex-Senator M. C. Butler, in denouncing the recent judicial decision on the registration law: “The ex-Senator, who had been holding caucuses in Columbia at private houses, having the ear of the court, and holding the foot of the chancellor, returned to his heme, feeling that his movements had not been detected, but the responsibility shall rest where it belongs. Let the people not blame the poor, lean, hungry coursel, who are barking merely for a bone, but visit the sin upon the heads of the arch-con- spirators.” Ex-Senator Butler has published the fol- lowing comment: “I do not like to be misrepresented, even by a blackguard. Since my service in the Senate ended on the 4th of March last, I have been a private citizen, attending to my own business, and this man had no right to draw me into his scurrilous, sopho- moric, self-advertisement, which he styles an ‘address to fellow-citizens.’ He appears to have had me under the surveillance of ene of hie detectives, who have become so fashionable under late orders of state ad- ministration, and betrays himself into the utterance of a foolish falsehood. The truth is, he is badly affected with what the doc- tors call hydrocephalous, commonly known as swell-head. He assails judges on the bench with awkward vulgarity and brutal coarseness, knowing them to be peace officers, and as such, non-combatants. This he can do with impunity, but the time may come when forbearance with his inso- lence may cease to be a virture.” In regard to the cry of negro supremacy he says: “There is not the least danger of the Tegroes getting control of the government of this state, br of ‘white supremacy’ being endangered, and they know It. Whatever of peril there is to white supremacy has been created by the ring now trying to dragoon white men into condoning their corrupt practices. They are responsible for the menace of ‘negro supremacy’ if there is one, and no amount of bluster and false Fretense can conceal it. A Microscopic Republic. Translated from a Swiss Journal. The smallest republic known is that of Tavolara, an sland about eight miles dis- tant from Sardinia, It has a population of fifty-five persons, all told. This domain was accorded in 1836 to the Bartoleoni fam- fly by King Charles Albert. King Paul I governed this microscopic kingdom for fifty years or more. He died in 1882, and then expressed the desire that thereafter his subjects should govern themselves. No pre- tender for the royal succession appearing, the inhabitants of Tavolara in 1886 pro- claimed a republic, which in the year fol- lowing was duly recognized by the Italian governmenj. This republic is governed by a president, who is elected for the term of six years. The constitution accords also to women the full right of suffrage. —— Naval Orders. Lieut. A. P. Niblack has been ordered to duty in the office of the assistant secretary of the navy,in charge of matters pertaining to the naval militia. Medical Inspector T. C. Walton has been ordered to examination for promotion. | fisheries. THE SALMON SUPPLY It is Being Rapidly Decreased in the Alaskan Rivers, AN INVESTIGATION 10 BE MADE a= Remedial Recommendations Made to Congress. COMMERCIAL POSSIBILITIES > The rapid inroads which fishing and pack- ing companies have made upon the supply of salmon in the Alaskan rivers have given great concern to the government for sev- eral years past, since it became evident that the fish were destinad to the same fate of extermination which has overtaken the buffalo, and {is being visited upon the fur- bearing seals of the northern waters. All the attempts to secure effective restraining legislation from Congress have proven practically without result, but a new phase of the canning syndicate’s operations te now engaging the attention of the lané office, which may result in measures that will have the effect of restricting the en- terprise of some cf the companies cngaged in the business, Matter to Be Investigated. It has recently been brought to the at- tention of Commissioner Lamoreaux of the generai land office that the salmon com- panies are acquiring much land at the mouths of the rivers where they are en- gaged, and pre-empting strategical peints of future commerce. Consequently, the commissioner has detailed Mr. J. P. Swine- ford, an ex-governor of Alaska, who is now an inspector of the Interior Department, to make an investigation of the matter and keep the department posted, that it mey know that all the requirements of the law are complied with. The cannery com- panies have asked thai surveys be made by the government of iands on which they have settled, with a view to their acquisi- tion. Mr. Swineford will sail from Seattle for Alaska on the 25th. The present governor of Alaska in his last report to the Secretary of the Interior called attention to the inroads heing made upon the salmon, and the same subject Was treated in a report made to the Pifty- second Congress by Fish Commissioner Mc- Donald. Mr. MeDonald then recommended that some, or all, of the following measures be adopted for the protection of the fish: A weekly close season from Sa‘urday even- ing to Monday morning, a yearly close sea- son during September and October, the establishment of salmon reservations, ab- solute prohibition of salmon tishing within 100 yards of the mouth of a river, prohibi- tion of the use of more than one seine in the same seine berth, and leasing of priv- ileges and limitation of the catch. No Law to Be Enforced. No authority is given .to the fish com- miss‘oner to énforce any restrictive meas- ures, this power belonging entirely to the Treasury Department. There is particular- ly no law to be enforced, however, for the only legislation ever adopted was an act of 1889 prohibiting the erection of dams or obstructions to prevent the ascent of sal- mon to their spawning grounds, and it is rather difficult to carry this into effect, since all inspection has to be done by one agent of the Treasury Department. Dr. Hugh M. Smith, one of the experts of the fish commission, believes that the ex- tinction of the Alaskan salmon is inevit- able if the present metheds of making the catch continue unchecked. Every fish that swims, he says, can be caught at the mouths of the rivers, and, as a matter of fact, few salmon now reach the old spawn- ing grounds in the rivers of Alaska. Proportion of the World’s Supply. More than half of the salmon pack of the United States and nearly half of the world’s supply now comes from Alaska. It will be shown in a paper being prepared for publication by Mr. William A. Wilcox of the fish commission that the capita! in- vested in these fisheries amounts to more than $3,000,000 and the value of the annual catch, not including the manufactured pro- ducts therefrom, comes to about $2,000,000, Last year there were twenty-two canneries in operation, which packed 646,000 cases (a case holding forty-eight pound ckages), and twenty-four salting establishments, which put on the market 21,000 barrels of sait salmon. The largest pack which has been made in Alaskag waters was that of 1891, when 800,000 cases, the equivalent of 58,000,000 pounds of salmon as they are taken from the waters, were shipped to the markets of the Pacific coast for distribu- tion, The proportions which the business had then reached alarmed the companies en- gaged in it so that to prevent injurious competition an agreement was made to limit the output to little more than one- half of the capacity of the works. In 1891 the number of men employed was 4,747 and in 1892 it was reduced to 2,884. Supply Decreasing Yearly. Even with this combination in effect the fish have been killed off from year to year, s@ that the supply is surely and rapidly decreasing. The greater part of the catch is made at the mouth of the Karluk river. Experts of the fish commission assert that the kinds of seines used operate to bar the Way so effectually, one being placed behind another, that practically all of the fish are captured at the mouths of the rivers. Thus they are prevented from reaching their spawning grounds and their reproduction is nearly prevented. It was only after the salmon fisheries of the Columbia and other Pacific rivers had been greatly overworked that resort wai had to the products of the Alaskan rivers. The government was awakened at a late day to Its negligence in failing to re- strict the fishermen of Oregon and Wash- ington. Now a weakly closed season is in effect in the waters of these states. Shdéuld the Alaskan salmon be extermi- rated, there are other fisheries to be work- ed in the northern waters. Cod and her- ring are already being ight in small quantities, and there is much opportunity for enterprise in the development of these The fish commission has col- lected much information concerning the food fish of Alaska, which shows that there are many undeveloped fisherlés fur- nishing great commercial possibilities for the future. + 2+ Gen. Lee's Last Order. From the New York Herald. Gen, Porter is well known to the public as a successful lawyer and a great story teller. Col. Marshall is said to be the ablest lawyer of Maryland, and, although a busy man, has a great deal more than he can at- tend to; but that does not keep him from rivaling Gen. Porter as a teller of admirable stories. One of his best, however, is some- thing that happened just previous to the surrender of the confederate army. Gen. Lee, with Col. Marshall, had ridden down the lines, and was returning. As they .did so they passed the headquarters of Gen. Henry A. Wise, whose impetuosity is well remembered. ‘The only water in the neighborhood was the yellow mixture of Virginia clay. In this Gen. Wise had washed. There were no towels, and, to use the expression of Cel. Marshall, the yellow mud drying upon his face made him look like the most genuine descendant of Pocohontas Virginia ever knew. Rushing forward to Gen. Lee, Gen. Wise, with his‘decorated face, exclaimed: “Gen. Lee, I understand, sir, that you are about to enter into negotiations for the sur- render of the army” Gen. Lee replied calmly that it was true. Instantly Gen. Wise’s arms stretched to- ward high heaven, and he asked, in tragic tones: “Then, sir, what in the name of God is going to become of me?” There was a suggestion of a smile in Lee’s countenance as he replied, in a tone 4 command, “Gen, Wise, go wash your race.”” A Chance for the Sick to Be Cured.
