Anwarouig, Md., Nov. 24, 1871." ‘The special train from Washington, conveying the Grand Duke Alexis and rarty to the Naval School ‘@t this place, arrived ut ten A. M. Besides the Rus- sian Prince there were on the train Secretary Robe- gon, of the Navy; the Russian Admiral Possiett, ‘Minister Catacazy, M. Machin, Councillor of State; Count Alsonfief, Count Shouvaloff, Aides to the Grand Duke, and Dr, Cudsin and Lieutenant Tuber, also of his staff, and Mr. Danzas, First Secretary of the Russian Legation in the United States. The maval officers were Commodores Case, Rodgers and General Duan and Sur- geon General Foultz. On arriving at the depot the party was received by Captain Carter, Commandant of the Midshipman, and Lieu- tenant Colonel Ames, in full untform, who were ‘awaiting their arrival. The day was dark and low- ering, a gentle but steady rain having set inan hour Previous to their comiug. Owing to the rain and apparent scarcity of umbrellas there were but few Persons gathered at the depot. The Prince and party entered an elegant carriage which had been brought down from Baltimore for the special occa- sion, and were slowly driven to the Naval grounds, On entering at the middie gate they were received by a battallion of marines in full dress, uader com- moana of Major P, R. Fendall, with the order of pre- Bent arms, the full naval band stationed on the right of the marmes playing the Russian Nauonal Air, and at the same moment a salate of twenty-one guns thundered from a howitzer battery on the play ground, where a battalion of cadets were drawn up. MILITARY DRILL AND PARADE. ‘Without halting the party were driven to the Su- perinvendent’s quarters, where they were received by Commodore Worden, Superintendent of the Naval Acatemy, and the officers of the school, in fall uniform, about thirty in number. The Prince was introduced to Commodore Worden by Secretary Robeson, and by the Commodore to the officers. A brief interval of ceremonies was passed in the par- lors of the Superintendent’s residence in conversa- tion among the officers, during which Mrs, Worden, wife of the Commodore; Miss Worden and Miss Bancroft, of New York, were presented to tha Prince. The party then proceeded to tne parade groand, where the battalion of cadet midshipmen, under command of Lieutenant Soley, were drawn Up and Went througn the usual military drill and Parade, saluting we Grand Duke as tney marched past. During these exercises the rain continued failing, tne Imperial Prince and staif and other officers, ali in fui! uniform, taking it as coolly as common mortals. WNSPECTION OF THE GUNSHIP SANTEE AND THE ORDNANCE MUSEUM. ‘The parade being over the gunship Santce was vis- ited, where another national salute of twenty-one guns pealed forth. After passing through the ship the visitors inspected the various departments of the Academy —the steain building, philosophical depart- ment and all the others of interest. In the Ordnance Museum the battle fags captured ta Corea were ob- Jects of special interest. The inspection of the de- partments being over the party, at hal!-past twelve * p. M,, returned to the quarters of the Commander, - and others of nis suite. BOCJAL ENTERTAINMENT—TOASTS AND SENTIMENTS. Here a large party had assembicd, including Governor and Mrs. Bowle aud a number of ladies, ‘the wives of oilicers, as also young ladies, all in full dress. They were introduced to the imperial visitor A few minutes were passed in gencral, pleasant conversation and congratula- ton, waoen the doors of the adjoiniag apartinents Were thrown open and the guests invited to partake of a sumptuous collation which was spread before them. Tne Grand Duke gracefully tendered arm to Mrs. Worden, and these two led the way to the tables, followed by other ladies with their dis- Unguished escorts. Alter partaking of the viands toasts seemed in order, when Commodore Worden rose and proposed “The Emperor of Russia,” which was most cor- @ially received, the entire company rising and drinking the toast standing. ‘The Grand Duke then gave the “President of the United States,’ which was as heartily received and drunk with like formality. Seoretary Robeson offered “ne Navy of the Em- pire of Russia,” which was responded to with an enthusiasm that brought the Russian Admiral to his feet, and he proposed ‘The Prosperity of the Re- markable Institution we have just inspected: May it continue its great usefalness, and produce more men like Farragut, Porter and Worden to adorn their country’s history.’! , The toast of the Admiral was greeted with hearty approbation. ‘The Russian Minister, Catacazy, being now called on, that gentleman rose and sald:—*I drink the health of one of the co-ordiate, and certainly one ‘of the most powerful members of the American gov- @rnment—‘Their Fairnesses the Women of Amer. wa” d Rapturous applause greeted this sentiment of the ‘oficial representative of the Emperor of Russia, When it had subsided Mrs, Worden, wife of the Commodore, called for the Hon. William Frescott Bimith to respond, That gentieman was invisivie for the moment, but soon made his appearance and aid he felt duly gratifed for the compliment con- ferred upon him in the presence of so many younger, handsomer and more gallant meu. He It, however, the grave responsibility he had @esumed, and acknowledged his inabliity co do Justice to 80 grand a theme as “The Women of America.” He regarded the ladies, not only as the Dest part of the created world, but the element on ‘earth the most impossible to be done without, The Speaker continued a short time in one of bis happiest moods, concluding with a regret that he wasin every respect unable, in such distinguished com- pany, to do justice to the sentument and to affec- tonately embrace the whole subject. Secretary Robeson veing handsomely toasted by One of the Russian oMcers, responded teliciously, remarking to the Grand Duke that our system of government involved a number of States that made up our great confederation, and they were now in Me capital Of oue of these—the good old State of Maryland—whose Executive being present, he would propose the health of the Governor of Mary- Janu. Governor Bowle acknowledged the compliment, and gave in return “The Navy of the Univeu States G@ud its gallant ofticers,” DRPARTURS PROM ANNAPOLIC, Tt was now fifteen minutes to two o’clock—the appointed hour of departure of the distinguished his | NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25. 1871—TRIPLE SHEET. guesta, The convivialities were ended, The gen- erous hospitality of Commodore Worden and lady and the coralal reception by the officers of the Naval School were appropriately recognized by the Grand Duke and party, when they were driven to the depot and left at two o'clock, Arriving at Annapolis Junction Secretary Robe- son, with several United States officera, proceeded to Washington. The Grand Duke and Russian oMcers, with Mr. Catacazy, were transferred to pe special Pullman palace car train, which was mm waiting, afd immediately leit for New York, where they will arrive at haif-past ten to-night, Mr, Frank Thompson, oi Pennsylvania, has the management of, ond provides, all trains conveying Alexis ana party while fn the United States, It was stated to-day that the visit to the Naval School was not in the programme until Wednesday afternoon, but the Prince and Admiral Posstet, on their way to Washington and when near that city, expressed a desire to inspect the school. Arrange: ments were completed yesterday for the trip, and Commodore Worden, who was in New York, was telegraphed for and arrived at the Academy this morning. The Grand Duke will remain in New York until about December 5, when he will visit Boston, Albany, Montreal, and thence proceed West, after which he will visit some of the Southern States, ae * THE GRAND DUKE’S RETURN. A Quik Train and a Good Time—Arrival iv New York—What Alexix Thinks of Our Ferrybeats—The Committees Hard at Work— General MeDowell’s Recention Tc-Day. The echedule of the tram conveying the Grand Duke was arranged so that the party would reach | Annapolis at half-past ten o'clock, leave Annapolis at two P. M., arrive at Camden station, Baltimore, at twenty minutes to four, leave President street station at ten minutes after four, arrive at Havre de Grace at twenty minutes after tive, Wilmington at twenty-flve minutes past six, Gray’s ferry at fitteen minutes past seven, West Philadelphia at tWenty- five minutes past seven, Trenton at twenty-seven minutes to nine, New Brunswick at fourteen min- utes past nine, Newark at ten, Jersey City at twenty minutes past ten, and New York at half-past ten, the distance being 228 miles from Annapolis, ‘The line is run by Philadelphia time. The train conveying the Grand Duke Alexis and suite and Mr. Catucazy and suite arrived at the Jersey City depot punciually on time. The heavy rain, which had rendered the streets very dis- agreeable, ceased about half an hour pre- viously—a delicate compliment on the part of the authorities of the Meteorological Department, through thelr. friend the dierk of the weather. There was no demonstration of any kind except on the part of the man at the ferry entrance, who gave @ military sainte. Seven carriages were in waiting for the party, the vehicles having been conveyed across the North River gbout half an hour vefore, 80 that the courtly MUSCOVITES MIGHT NOT MUSS the toes of their military shoes. Into these carriages | the party entered without any particular indications of fatigue, such as one might expect after a tedious journey. remarked that the New York ferries were the finest ip the world, as it was hard to tell when you were crossing them, ‘this will be explained by the fact that when carriages are driven in on the ferry boat the person inside of one, prince or peasant, cannot see through the cabins on either side, On arriving at tne New York side, which he did about twenty minutes to eleven o'clock, OMcer Joseph Hall, of the Twenty-sixth precinct, the terror of the porkmen of Communipaw, pre- sented his club with military precision to the first carriage, which contained, however, only some minor bemgs of the august party. The Grand Duke will value the intent, nevertheless. As he did not see the military courtesy he did not return the salute. Tho seven carriages pursued their way over the moistened cobblestones up 10 THE CLARENDON HOTEL, where the porters and flunkeys turned out In force to receive him, Springing from the carriage with elastic step the Grand Duke hurried to his room, where he Was enabled to enjoy a night's rest free from visitors and occupied with thoughts of the great New World, whose marvelous dash, snap and prozressiveness were being spread ont Lefore him, it is meet that as the door of the imperal youth’s sleeping room closed on bim for the night that a curious world shoald be content to know that he felt tired and gratified and then guess that in all probabiuty he slept soundly, é THE RSCEPTION COMMITTEE have been hard at work all day on their ball at the Academy of Music on Wednesday next. At the committee’s room on Broadway the business trans- acted was more in the line of final touches to existing arrangements than anything cise. Mr. Macy, With a spirit of heroic determination, took up the tiller from which Major Mont- gomery removed his hand about a week ago, in orier to present that grasping member and his heart toa fair creature, and take cominand of the brig of matrimony, after surren- derlug his gentie crait the courtship. Mr. Macy works very hard in giving directions, and has done as much with the pen ina day as his Wall street clerks do ina week. Rear Aduiiral Godon dropped ja, and With sound nautical judgment discoursed of winds and rains in view of the reception by General baa he to-day. He was gloomy at noon yester- aye “IF THE WIND WOULD HAUL round to the south’ard and work on well to the west and stand to a@ point near nor'west, we might have tine weather.’ ‘Th:s opinion impressed every- body, and his auditors gazed tearially at the rain. drops. At tie Clarendon yesterday evening Mr, Macy Was again found busy as a nailer s¢nding out ine tickets for the feust of scrumptnousness, Mr. Dodge was looking after invitations ta ais quiet, affabie way, and the gallant Rear ‘Adiniral oi noontide -turned up, more hopeful than previously, because, as he said, “It (the wind) had nauled to the south’ard, and it’s raining heavier than ever.” It was a study for Mr. Bierstadt, who: was present, and would have been for Hogarth, if the champion ot curved lines were yet in the flesh, to mark the varied expressions of the weil-io-co ticket buyers who presented themseives in that warin, luxurious apartment. There was the stont, smiling pater Janulas, who evidently thought the rignt thing at this season ne could do was to give THE DEAR GIRLS A LITTLE ENJOYMENT, He grasped his bunch of great nine by six envel- opes triumpnantly and departed with a glow of sat- isfaction rata could not dampen nor modistes’ bills: terrify. Then there was the pro essional man—tne doctor, say. Hignly respectable labelled on him as plainly as the directions on the bottle containing a simulating draught of his prescriving. He smiied, too, out it Was ghastly to a certain extent. He did not care for alls Or parties bim- self, “Loo busy, sir, but then good lady insisted.” All honor to his lady. There was the swect young man of Grand Ducal sum- mers—that is, twenty-one—who blushed, as if that would conceal the fact that the lady's ticket was for fair Angelina, to whom in a few short months he boped——well, no matter. He louks grave in presence of the smiling cominittee ana CHUCKLES OVER HIS PASTEBOARD in the corridor all to himself. Happy youth ! Then there was the aes heavy man, who breaks a chair, so weighted {ig he with the solem- nity of the moment. The rubicund, cneery- faced, laughing man succeeds. His name is announced in @ chuckle the namber of tickets in a laugh, and when he hands his bills to Mr. Macy they, too, are found to have split their sides with merri- ment, At nine o'clock the committee went inio session to arrange @ namoer of matters which will, on their being got into shape, be duly announced. GBNERAL M’DOWRLL'S RECEPTION Will positively come of, as announced, to-day. The steamer Antelope will be at the foot of Tuirty-third street, East River, at nine o'clock A. we, and will leave probably as soon as the Grand Duke 1s on board, He 18 expected at ® quarter past nine. The steamer will take a run up the river and get back to Governor's Isiand about one ., where lunch will be served im the handsome pavillion erected for the purpose, A tour of the fortifications will be ener alter which the steamer will returm to the FUIURE MOV4MENTS OF ALEXIS.

On Tuesday the grand ball given by the navy om. cers at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in honor of His Im- perial Highness will take place. The invitations are out, and the affair promises to be right royal of ite kind, ‘hey are all hithographed, including the names of the invited guests, The envelopes are monogrammed, and the heading of each invitation contains the American eagie, holding in its talons the vsual number of flags and arrows, but witn this difference, that one bunch represents Russia and the other America, and are so. inscribed, THE INVITATION then reads as follows :— cama ET C7 acs H.

The Prince will attend divine service in the Russian chapel on Sunday morning, and will be accompanted by his suite, The dear ladies who are 80 terribly anxious to get a look at a live prince on his knees will not have a chance, because the chapel is too small and because, also, Russian etiquette and the special crders of the Rugsian Embassy for- bid it, Iti understood that “ APPLICATIONS FOR ADMISSION to the Sanday morning service have been made to Mr, Catacazy and those in his favor, and to the Rus- 80-Greek priest, which, if granted, would require an audience room as large as the Academy of Music to accommodate them.

After resting himseif here a short, time, the Prince and nis attendants will sail for Savannah, Ga., where they will remain a [ew days, and thence depart to Havana, The Prince will prob- ably remain either in tne United States or in Cuba until the middie or close of the mouth of January, 1872, when the Svetiana will eli ior the Mediter- ranean Sea, lunding the Grand Duke at one of tie Southern Enropean ports, whence he will travel by | rail to St. Petersburg. | The other vessels of the flect now fiere will leave the imperial party either at Savannah or Havana, and wiil sail around Jape Horn direct for the Amoor River, where they are onaetet to join the Knssian squadron m those waters, THE GEAND DUK:'s VisiIT TO THZ “HUB.” Boston, Nov. 24, 1871, A committee of the City Connell leit for New | York to-night to invite the Grand Duke Alexis to | visit Boston.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24, 1871, The statenent given ina morning paper of this city, in its account of the visit of tne Grand Duxe to the President, that ‘ Minister Catacazy advanced to | the President, shook handsand presented the Grand Duke,” 18 erroneous so far as the shaxmg of hands ; 8 concerned, It is understooa that in consequence of his continued misbehavior and his personal calumny of the President the latter nas for some | ume past refased intercourse with Mr, Catacazy, to ‘whom it was intimated that on the occasion of the visit he must confine himself to the oficial act of presenting the Grand Duke. Farther than this, he Was admonished not to address the President, and he did not offer his hand, The management of the Russian Legation passed to-day from Mr. Catacazy to General Gorloff, whose residence has been at Hartiord, as military attaché ofthe Legation. This gentleman will be very ac- ceptable to the executive authorities in his new po- sition, This change relieves the President of the unpleasant duty whieh Mr. Catacazy’s conduct haa otherwise made a necessity, of sending his passport to the Minister, and may be regarded as a_ practical compliance with the request of this government for his recall. It is understood that Mr. Catacazy has been ordered by his government to wait upon his imperial Gighness the Grand Duke during bis tour in this country, and to return to Russia immedi- ately on its close.

A citizen of some twenty years’ standing, with considerable ability in his profession and having references which testily to bis inteiligence and Invegrity, has lost every. thing—the result of years of strife with the business elements and the fruits of a laudable economy—and is now separated from his wife and family of five children, without the least means at his disposal for their sustenance, A few hundred dollars from the benevolent of tis city would enable him to re- turn to his family and pass throngh the approach- ing winter.

Matricide and Suicide at Meriden, Conn. A Crazy, Love-Sick Son Killing His Mothr Bo cause of Her Refusal to Sanction & Hasty Marriage, MERIDeN, Conn., Nov. 24, 1871. This afternoon, at about half-past three o'clock, & rumor prevailed in Meriden that a young man named Vetts had murdered nis mother and then committed suicide, As Vetts was known as a quiet, inoffensive young fellow, who, it was supposed, would not harm any one, the rumor was generally discredited. At six o'clock this evening your cor- respondent received positive evidence ot facts, and went directly to the house, which is situated about a mile and a half from West Meriden, and just above Fraryviile. Strange to say, it is nearly the next house to that of the.man Whittaker, who was bru- | tally assaulted and nearly murdered about three weeks ago. From the evidence hastily accumulated from the family and neighbors it was found that young Vetts had reaily MURDERED HIS AGED MOTHER AND COMMITTED SELI*MURDER, Some two years ago it appeara he had been at- tacked by “muntps,"? which subsequently struck downwards, It was deemed necessary that he should submit to a painful operation, and he re- fused. He grew sufiiciently better to attend to his business of peddling miik, ana to within a week ago things went on smoothly, when young Vetis, who 43 @ German, was confined to his bed, and tt was then found necessary to have watchers stationed by his bedside. On Tiursday mght last he was de- ‘ }irious and bécame very furious in his menaces, He was engaged to be married to a young lady named Mascomeyer, at Thanksgiving, to whom he- was greatly attached, and she, it 1s stated, was devoted to him, As far as can be learned bis mother, whether {rom her son’s well known debility or ovlerwise, WAS OPPOSED TO THE MARRIAGE, und this, apparently, provides the sequel. This alverpo0a young Vetts) sister, Bertie, hearing & noise, went into his bedroom, and was horror- stricken to beholt him lying, bleeding, on the floor; ani pis mother, who was partially concealed by a heap of bedclothes, was screaming out, “Father! father?’ Her father, who was just uncoupling iis team at the time, rasied into the house, but only in (ime to find his wile dying and | aud are certainly much more coarse. his son quite dead.

Under the very alarming caption of “Wanton Ont- rages —Eight Residences Fired Iuto—Narrow Escape of Severat Persons from Assassination,” one of the Newark afternoon papers spread before its readers yesterday @ lengtiy story, catcuiated to | greatly agitate the community, 1t is set forth that during @ week past the residences of Mrs, Littell, in Mulberry street; Dr. Haight, in Clinton street; James I.

It is right and proper that the police should put a stop to such mischievous proceedings; at the same lume it is scarcely the correct thing for a local sheet to give publicity to such a “wanton” and ‘outrageous’? sensation.

AMUSEMENTS, Italian Opera=Nilsson in “Mignor ‘The second representation of the new opera of “Mignon,” atthe Academy of Music last night, drew, in spite of the rain, one of the most brilliant and fashionable audiences that ever graced the recognized Opera House of of New York. “Mignon”? becomes even more interesting when heard a sed- ond time, ag its freshness and novelty draw on the ear with additional effect at every hearing, The music 1s exquisite, espectally when we consider that the composer, Ambroise Thomas, ta a Frencn- man, and 1s addicted to the many exceptional fauits of areal genuine French composer. From begin- ning to end, from the time that Mignon appears on the stage, alighting from the cart in which she first 18 seen asleep among the Gypsies, until the last Magnincent finale, in which she recognizes her father and lover, the character of Thomas’ heroine (or rather that of Goethe, limned by Ary Schaefer and Kaulnach) 1s faith. fully preserved.

If we must have theatrical entertainments with no more serfousend in view than the whiling away of | the time which ies heavily on our hands, they can take no more harmless form than the classical bur- Jesqne, provided always the quips and allusions are kept within proper limits, Fun and frolic are likely to overflow the bounds of strict propriety when the usual ‘landmarka, are removed and an un- wonted amount of freedom is permitted both to the author and the actor, The temp- tation to ran into ejuivoque has been happily resisted in the burlesque of “Hacehus,”” with which Miss Annie Lonsdale opens the season, and though no remarkable amount of witis displayed in the allusions, there 1s sufficient fun—sometimes pretty broad—to amuse the audience.

Withdrawal of Major General Schenck from the London Mission. Seeretary Fish, of the State Dee partment, to Succed Him. Minister Schenck’s Mining Operations Considered a Breach of Diplo- matic Etiquette. WASHINGTON, Nov. 24, 1871, Minister Schenck to iietire from the Court of St. James in Favor of Secretary Fish, There is now no doubt that Minister Schenck will retire from the English mission and be succeeded in that ithportant place by the present Secretary of State, My. Hamitton Fish, It 1s understood that the appointment of ex-Senator Wade as counsel of the Northern Pacific Lailvoad, which has just been mane, is only temporary, and that the position ts to be kept open for General Schenck. The salary of our Minister to Lon:lon is only $17,630, while his expenses do not fal short of $39,000, a fact which has made tae place a burden w General Schenck, and his retirement after the con- summation of the Treaty of Washington, to be suce ceeded by Mr. Fish has all along been regarded as one of the events of the future. It 1s betleved im official circles that the shortness of General Schenck’s tenure of oMce and the certainty of his early retirement, together with his well knowa straitened circumstances in pecuntary matters have much to do with his connection with the Emma Silver Mining Company, incorporated ander tne English as Well ss our own laws. According to the prospectus of this company it 18 formed {o purchase vhe celebrated Emma mine of Utan. Tne mine 1s situated at Little Cottonwood canyon and is described at great lengtn tn the advertising columns of the London Speciafor and other English journals. ‘The first monthly atvidend at the rate of etyhteen per cent per annum is promised on the 1st of December next, and it is announced besides that, as the company will come Into immediate profits on the transfer of the property, the syatem of paying montily dividends will be atopted. All thts sonnda very large nnd is « ood basis for the elaborate pros pectus whien the company publish, The sub- scription advertised ia for 26,000 shares of stuck at £0 per share, tis being the unappropriated capital of a full cap tal of = £1,/00,000; but as it is only for the purchase of the Emma and other saines, the protits which are to spring from them are reported tobe cnormous. Singularly enough, on the same Gay this wonderful advert:sement—which Is entirely on the American plan—appeared in the English papers the press agents at Salt Lake City reported that the Emma Mining Company had begun the shipment of an Immense quantity of ore which had accumulated during the summer, On the same day it was reported that the Adelaide Mine, at Little Cottonwood, is claimed by its owners to show every indication of being a recond Emma, The job in all tnis was too plain to esexpe atten. tion, and it did not escape the attention of English stockjobbing papers like the Lconomist, Tt was of this oompany that “Major General Robert C. Schenck, United States Minister, London,” was named both as a director and trustee, the other trustees being ‘ieorze Anderson, Esq.,"" a member of the British arliament, who ts also Chairman of the Board of Directors, and J. H. Paleston, a mem- ber of a prominent English and American banking house, and also a member of Boutwell’s Synateate, Among the other directors is Senator Stewart, of Nevada. The character of the speculation was not known at the State Department till to-day, and as it was believed that General Schenck’s connection with the company was of precedent date to his appointment to his unsought mission, a mere tendency to speculation has nos been heretofcre regarded as @ suMictent reason for his recall. At toe same time it was admitted that the American Minister's conduct in this matter of the Emma Mining Company was both a reflection on himself and an annoyance and embarrassment to the government. There is nothing except cus- tom and the dignity of the position to prevent a Mins ister from engaging in trade or even In speculation, but the English Court was a very queer piace for any manto set up as@ Minister and at the same time as @ “director and trustce’ of a mining company whieh pays dividends before it naa acquired any property out of witch to pay them, English Consuls even are not permitted ta be tradesmen or to engage in business of any kind, and, consequently, the connection of an American | Minister with a halt-fedged job is at once an as+ tonisiment to the English people and an annoyanca to our own government. There is no occa sion for immediave action, or General Schenck would at once be called home for his forgetfulness of the etiquette of the country to which he is accredited. Ina very short time Secretary Fish’s long contempia retires ment from the State Department will enable him ta undertake the mission to England, and then General Schenck will be at liberty to become counsel of a railroad corporation which neeJs a poweriul lobby Avent just now, aul may even have use ior two of them im the future, Ignorance of the Ka Kirx Prisoners. Inguirtes made through the Burean of Fducation ef the oficers ta charge at Union, 8. C., as to the degree of illiteracy among Ku Klux confined there elicit the fact that out of 111 prisoners under Cap- tain Ogden’s charge only fifteen are found to be uns able to read or write, Of these eleven can read slightly. Only the worst nnd most dangerous mea among the accused are retained im coufinement, the large majority being paroled and al'owed to go home, Of these—amounting at that post to several hundred—e very large minority are quite illiterate, abtty to sign their confessions being the exception, The Tin Mine Panic. The excitement over the Ogden tin mines, which in this country, if good testimony be true. finds its chief expression in the despatches from Utah, hag travelled over the water, and numerous letters are reaching the government from parties in England anxious to know from sources of authority what there is of truth in the newspaper reports. Some of these letters refer to the apprehended fallure of the tin mines of Cornwall at a time not so far dis- tant but that it 18 near enough, tn conjuction with the enormously increasing demands for tin on every hand, to sensibly increase tne price year by year. To the owners of these mines the discovery of practically unlimited sup- plies of merchantable tin on the line o: the Pacifig Rallrvad, thus affording it a ready transport to mar- ket, is a matter of vast consequence, and to the pos sessors of that ready British capital always waiting for American investments that promise to pay from fifteen to twenty per cent more than it will com- mand at home the subject 1s not destitute of inter est of another sort. These classes, with a smaller one composed of some who would hike ta turn vhelr knowledge of mining and pre paring the crude metal to better paying ac- count, make up the list of foreign correspondents qa tin, To these last anxious inquiries the General Land OMce nas no very satisfactory answer to make. The office is sure that the mineral from Ogden isn’t tin, for the various specimens have been thoroughly analyzed. The office ts equally sure that the stuff is not cadmium, and, if it were, that would be no warranty for the jubilant despatches from Utah, because, as asserted, the metal supposed to be tin turns out ,to be something better yet. The supply of cadmium 1s avundant, and its uses limited, being chiefy as an alloy for tha More fusible metals used in soldering stiverware ag a pigment, where purity and permancnce of color ‘are required, and for some minor purposes in pho» tography. The mineral specimens received at the General Land Office and by private assayers In core respondence with it are syenite, and there is une questtonably @ j.b benind any assertions that the ducts of these mines are of areat value
