MINERALS AND METALS. | Statistics Show That the United States Led the World in the Gold Output During the Past Year. | NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. L—The En- gineering and Mining Journal to-morrow will say: - The production of minerals and | metals in the Uniled States for the year | 1896 is given at a total value of $653,311,486 showing a decrease as compared with 1895 of $24,689,266, or about 334 per cent. This decrease was largely in values rather than in quantities. In none of the chief arti- cles was there any marked decrease, while in several there were considerable in- oreases. | ~ Te total production of metals in the | year 1896 was valued at §242,311,481, an in- crease o1 $1,694,111 over the previous year, while the value of non-metallic substances was $410,999,987, a decrease of $26,383,377 {rom 189. A lurge part of this was due to | the lower value of coal, stone and a few | otirer important substances, very little re- sulting irom the smatler quantities. The increase in copper has been extraordinary, the total gain amounting to 67,370,150 pounds. Tne production. of gold reached - the great total of $57,000,000, a gain of $10, 169,800. This is.an’ extraordinary ad- vance, which far surpasses the- gain' re- ported from any other country in the world, and puts the. United States far in the lead of the producing countries. -Our output in gold was no_less. than 26.per ‘cent of the total reported for the entire world. - ¢ 2 The production of pig iron has been 768,860 long tons, the decrease from 1895 being only 677,439 tons, or.about 7 :per cent. E The prodiction ‘of lead from domestic ores’amounted to 175,777 short tons, show- ing an inctease-of 20,863 tons over the pre- ceding year. -In addition to this -there were 79,000 tons produced from imported. ores, or refinéd from imported buliion. The output of quicksilver-was 33,012 flasks, of 761¢ pounds each, showing a de- crease of 966 tlasks from the previous vear, The production continues (o come wholly from the California mines. The produc- tion of silvér from domestic ores reached a total of 45,464,173 fine ounces, showing a decrease of 865062 ounces. ‘There were -produced or retined from foreixn ores and Buliion by our smelters and othér works no‘less than 40,000,000 fine ounces of silver, making the’ tolai quantity retined or put into final marketable form in this coun- try 85,465,173 fine oupces, The i0tal production of speiter, or com- 'mercial zinc, for 1896 amounted to 77,044 short tons, showing a decrease of 4774 tons from that of 1895. The output of bituminous coal was 141,- | 770,099 tons, showing a gain of 4,371,752 | ton=. On the other hand, there was a-de- crease of 6,782,057 short tons in theanthra- cite production. The total coal.produc- tion was therefore 193,351,027 short tons, and the total decrease, as compared with 1895, was 2,410,305 tone. LN e b Shot by Policemen.

Representatives of the Principal Na. tions of the Earth Jcin the Throng of Visitors. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. L.—The annual New Year's show atthe White House -took pluce to-day according to long-established custom. It constitutes the yearly ordeal of tue Presidentand the mistress of the Wh:te House, for they must shake hands with many hundreds— several thousands in fact—of their fellow. citizens and a large number of distin- guished foreigners. They smiled and bowed and beamed through it all to-day and stifled the winces that unconsciously followed the hearty grasp of some young subaltern, fresh from the frontier, or the grip of some horny hand thut had done service in the late political campmgn. It was one continuul round of hand-shaking and exchanging the compliments of the season. As on last New Year’s day the crowd that participated in and witnessed the reception was very large. It was the last function of its sort in which Mr. and Mrs, Cleveland will figure as the principal characters, and this may bave been responsible in part for the throng that paraded the corridors and apartments dur- ing the time set apart for the reception. The interior of the mansion had been lavishly decoraled for the occasion. A suggestion of the tropics was given by a survey of the decorative arrangements. In the dainty ovai-shaped biue room, the official chamoer of the White House, with its delicately tapestried walls, the artistic effect was well carried out. 1t was in this apartment that the President, Mrs. Cleve- land and the receiving party stood. Tho-e who paid their respects to the President and Mrs. Cleveland passed out of their receiving-chamber into the green- room, and thence into the spacious east room, the scene of so many historic occur- rences. Six nundred people is the ordi- nary - capacity of this compartment. To-day it was filled to an uncomfortable degree with foreign envoys, officers of the army and navy, high judicial function- aries, Senators, Representatives and many civilians, with a large number of ladies. | ‘They were not so crowded, however, as to be unable to see and appreciate the floral beauty displayed. As in every other part of the interior, the east room had its chandeliers and cornices twined with smi- lax. Trailing asparagus also formed a graceful drapery. The white jardinieres on all the mantels held Chinese primroses, rubber plants and cinerias. In the cor- ners were brown-leayed curculis, Date and cocoanut palms spread their foliage high over the promenading guests. The broad and high east window was a mass of pomsetia palms, and grouped abous the bottom of these were ferns. The mir- rors, the embrasures, the fireplaces were all suitably arrangea. Eleven o'clock was the hour. set for the beginning of the reception. Before that time meémbers of the diplomatic corps, Embassadors, Ministers, attaches ana their wives and daughters, had begun to arrive and were ushered into thered room, where they only waited the signal to pass along the line. Outin the public lobby, the United States marine band, under the leadership of Professor. Fan- ciulli, waited the signal to play. Suddenly Fanciulli waved his baton and the various instruments .burst forth ‘into. the well- known.air of “Halil to the Chief.” Down the private staircase came the President, Mrs. Cleveland, the members of the Cabi- net and their ladies, led by Colonel John' N. Wilson, United States Commissioner of Public ‘Buijdings and Grounds and master of ceremonies. was attired in the uniform of a colonel of engineers. President and Mrs. Stevenson, Secretary and Mrs. Olney, Secretary aad srs. Cat- lisle, Attorney-General and Mrs. Harmon, Postmaster-General Secretary and Miss Herbert, Secretary and Mrs, Lamont; Secretary and Miss Morton and Secrotdary and Mrs. Francis, an im- posing procession, passed along the corri- dor to the blueroom and took their places, the President and Mrs. Claveland at one end with Secretary Oluey Wiison at their right and-the ladies form- ing a line across the apartment.. Thé Cabinet offic-rs modestly stepped to the rear and entered into conversation with some of the ladies who composed that contingent company designated as “In behind the line.” The first person to shake hands with the President was a tall, broads-houldered, rather portly gentle- man, attired in 8 uniform resplendent in gold braid. Those who did not know him did not need to be told that hé was the Rigkt Hon. Sir Julian Pauncefote, Grand Commander of the Bath, Grand Comman- der of St. Michael and St. George, the British Embassador to the United States and dean of the diplomatic corps. Sir Julian was accompanied by Lady Paunce- fote, the Misses Pauncefote, Viscount Gough, secretary of the British Embassy, Viscountess Gough, Captain Alfred W. raget, R. N.;naval attache; Mr. Henry Bax-Ironside and Mr. Reginald Lowder, second secretaries; Mr. Hugh T: O'Berne, the Earl of Westmeath and Mr. Ronald MacLeay, attaches. 3 The French Embassador, Mr. Jules Patenotre, came with his American wife, the daughter of Mr. James Elverson, the Philadelphia publisher, and Mr. Eugene Thiebot, Commandant Clement de Grand Prey and Mr. Jules Boeufve of the French Embassy. 5 Baron Fava, Italian Embassador, passed down the line with the Baroness Fava and Count Vinci, secretary of the embassy. Another titled envoy, Baron Max von Thielman, the German Embassador, fol- lowed with the Baroness von Thielman and the secretaries and attaches of his suite. Then tie brilliant uniforms of the European diplomatisis gave way to the modest black of conventional evening dress worn by Senor Matias Romera, Min- ister from Mexico, who in common with the representatives from the Latin-Ameri- can republics, witt the exception of those from Brazil, followed the custom of his country in appearing in the highest garb of civilian conventionality without regard [ tion. Colonel” Wilson. Mr. and Mrs. Cléveland, vice-| and Mrs. Wilson, | and Colonel" to the almanac. Senora Romero and secre- taries and attaches of the Mexican Lega- tion followed the mirister. A year agoa Chinese woman was seen for the first time at the opening function of the official social ceason. . She was Mrs. Yang Yu, the wife of the ehvoy from the Flowery Kingdom. To-day she came again, and created as much interest and comment as sne did on her previous ap- pearance at a New. Year's reception. Her wonderfu! silken robes were the admira- tion of all the women present, while every man pronounced her as pretty asa picture, and'not a Chinese picture, either. She drew the lion’s share of attention even more than her husband and the silk- gowned members of his suite. Yang Yu's costume was resplendent. In his wake came his secretaries and uttaches, Ho Yen Shing, Kwang Ying, Messrs. Hoo, Su, Wang, Shang, Chung, Sun, Lee and Bze. The presence of Mrs. Yang Yu was not the only mark of Oriental advancement at the reception. When the Korean Minister and his suite were announced the specta- tors, who craned their necks to see the odd head-dresses and gowns in which they had been accustomed to see the rep- resentatives of the Hermit Kingdom at- tired, met with a disappointment, for they had discarded their picturesque costume for the conventional garments of Euro- pean civilization, appearing in them for the first time at the New Year’s day func- Uniforms of European cut were also worn by Toru Hoshi, the Japanese Minister, and hisofficial family. Moustapa. Bey, the Sultan’s representative, made his initlal bow weariny his fez. A year ago to-day a Venezuelan message of President Cleveland was fresh in the minds of those who saw Sir Julian Paun- cefote bow and smile as he shook the President’s hand, as though he might not within a brief period receive notice that diplomatic relations between Great Bri- tain and the United States had been severed aad directions fo return to Lon- don immediately. To-day it was Senor Don Enrique Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish Minister, who was metaphorically in Sir Juhan’s shoes. The greetings he gave and received were cordial in the extreme, and resplendent in gold braid he passed along the line bowing and smiling with Castilian courtesy to the ladies in the re- ceiving party. Senora Dupuy de Lome and & number of uniformed secretaries and attaches, some of them with their wives, followed the Spanish Minister. Others members of the diplomatic body present .were: C. D. Weckerhlen, the Minister of the Netherlands; Senor Julio Rengifo, Charge d’Affaires of Colombia; Maurice Tovstens, councilor of the Beigian legation; A. Grip, Minister of Sweden and Norway; Senor Salvador de Mendonca, the Brazilian Minister, and Dona de Mendonca; Senor Antonio Lazo Arriaga, Guatemala’s representative, and his wife; Senor Domingo Gana, the Chil- ean Envoy, and Senora Gana; Senor Jose Andrade, the Venezuelan Minister (just back from Caracas with the protocol of the treaty of arbitration with Great Britan); Ladislaus Hengelmuller von Gengervar, the Austrian Minister,with his wife; J. B. Pioda, the Swiss Minister, and Mrs. Pioda; Constantine Brun, the Dan- ish Minister ; Francis M. Hatch, Hawaiian representative, and Mrs, Hatch; E. D. Kotzebue, the Russian Minister; Vis- count de Santo-Thyrso, the Portuguese Minister, and Viscountess de Santo- Thyrso; Dr. Martin Garcia Merou, the Min- ister from Argentina; Senor J. B. Calvo, Minister resident of Costa Rica, and Senora de Calvo, and Senor J. D. Rod- riguez, the first representative of the Greater Republic of Central America (Honduras, Nicaragua and Salvador) to participate in the annual New Year’s re- ception. Secretary Olney, who had made the pre- sentation of tbe members of the diplo- matic body, stepped to the rear as the last of the foreigners had passed, and Colonel Wilson took his place to introduge those that followed. Chief Justice Fuller led the line ot grgve-tooking Justices of the Federal Supreme Court; Chief Justice Nott, the new vresiding officer of the United States Court of Claims, was fol- lowed by his' associates on the bench; Chief Justice Alvey of the- Courtof Ap- peals of.the District of Columbia, a mem- ber of the Venezuelan Commission, pre- ceded the District judiciary. Then came ex-members of the Cabinet.and ex-Minis- ters of the United States. - i Major-General Miles, attired n his full. uniform, a broad golden scarf across the breast indicating that he was the com: manding general of the military forces, ‘led the large cantingent of army officers. Adjutant-General Ruggles and the various brigadier-generals who' preside over the bureaus of the:War Department were' im< mediately in his rear. General Wheaton, commanding the military Department of the Platte, took advantage of his presence in Washington to attend. A brilliant picture’ was presented by the snowy uni- forms. of these -dnd other officers of the army who were -there—staff officers on duty at the War Department, officers of the Tegiments stationed about Washing- ton—neaily all fine-looking men, who passed along amid a continual jangling of scabbards .and jingling of spurs. Rear Admiral Remsay, Rear Admiral Walker, Commodores Matthews, Sampson, Hich- born, Melville and a number of other well- known officers composed the naval con- tingent. Colonel Heywood, the com- mandant of the marine corps, led those under him, and after them came Genera| Ord way and the general staff of the militia of the District of Columbia. Benators .and Representatives in Con- gress struggled aiong before and behind the military and naval people. Speaker Reed bowled past the receiving party, at- tracting considerable attention. Senator Sherman and other veteran wearers of the toga were also present. Black frock coats became the rule at this point and contin- ued for some time. Passing along in the otder assigned came the regents and sec- retary of the Smithsonian Institution, the Civil Service Commission, the assistants to the heads of the executive departments and the heads of governmental bureaus. Carrying their tattered battie-flags came the Associated Veterans of the War of 1846, all bowed down with the weight of years; then membersof the Grand Army of the Republic, the Loyal Legion, the Union Veterans’ Legion and the Oldest Inhabitants’ Association of the District of Columbia. - 2 It was nearly 1 o’clock when the public reception began. Men, women and chil- dren of all walks of life passed ina seem- ingly endless procession tnrough the re- ception-rooms. For each the President afid Mrs.- Cleveland had a smile and a handshade. At 20'clock the doors were closed and the last of the most trying so- ciat ordeal of the Cleveland administra- tion wasover. Perkins Hemains at the Capital. WABHINGTON, D. C..

Morton as Governor of New York. Two Very Pleasant Speeches Made During the Inaugural Ceremonies. The Outgoing Chief Ex-cutive Praised for the Many Friends He M:de While at Albany. ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 1L.—Governor Frank 8. Black was inaugurated to-aay. Pleasant weather ushered in his inaugural day. The ceremony was a simple and im- pressive one. The Governor took the oath oi office in the Assembly chamber in the presence of hundreds of Republicans irom all over the State. The aesks of the members had been re- moved and seats were provided for about 1500 guests. Governor Black and his staff arrived here on s special train from Troy at 10:35 o’clock this morning under a military escort and was met at the station by the Tenth Battalion of Albany and the Third Brigude Signal Corps. The military escort left the guberna- toriai party at the State-street entrance to the Capitol. Governor Black and staff proceeded to the executive chamber and met the retiring Governor and his staff. Secretary of State Palmer and the Epis- | copal Bishop of Albany, the Right Rev. William Crosswell, were waiting. The inaueural party proceeded to the Assem- bly chamber at 11:30 o’clock. After prayer by the Rev. Bishop Doane Governor Morton was introduced and de- livered his address to the people of the State as their retiring chief executive, and the manner in which his remarks were re- ceived was & testimonial of the apprecia- tion of his auditors. Governor Morton's speech consisted of a lengthy review of recent censtitutional and statutory de- velopment and an expression of thanks to the people of the State for the honors con- ferred upon him and a few congratulatory remarks to his successor in office. The Secretary of State then administered the constitutional oath of office to Govern- or-elect Black, The address which Governor Black delivered after being introduced by the Becretary of State was brief as usual. He said: Governor Morton: The sentiments which you have uttered would be agreeable from any source, but they have an added value and sig- nificance coming from you, for many years a consplcuous public figure. In these days, when criticism has passed down into denunci- ation and fituess is t00 often measured by the power to bestow, the task of public office has become arduous and full of defiger. but it is w-day your singular fortune to lay off the Tobes of public station with & larger share of affection and respect than is often accorded to aretiring public servant. If your official acts have not always met the people’s approval you at least have never lost. the people’s con- fidence. And no higher testimonial can be written (o aay man than this, that in these contentious times hie siood &t the spot where every conflict centered ‘and so commanded and disposed as never to relax his hold upon the faith of thosé who trusted him witn power. This great méasure of satisfaction and reward now belongs to you, and as you retire to enjoy it and share the pride of its achievement with thosé which ¢lose companionship will here- after surrqund and sustain you.I hope you will indulge me thé high privilege of adding 10 the geperal applause my own expressions of approbation, not unmixed with- personal sentiment. Fellow-citizens: A voyager making the first shore may depart, follow:=d by the hopes and loud acclaiis of those who fitted out his ship, but if you listen intently to. the tumult and the music you may find the note of confidence left out, Youmust, wait for that until he has returned. Perhaps you may nevér hear it, but if1t is lacking at the beginuing of the voyage let us hope to find it at the close. However meager may be the signs of promise now, there is this which is. not without hope: No executive.will this year take the oath of office _uhder a deeper sense of responsibility thag. he Who now assumes with diffidence .the great and unaccustomed burdens which the people of tnis Siate have imposed. Your counsel in 4ll matters relating to the welfare of the State must alivays be received by those Wwho realize that the first duty of & public servant is to guard the public interest. - S "1 shall strive during my career as' Governor 10 be faithful in the performance ol that trust upon which I now enter.: To be watchful of tne people’s welfare and to execute their will will.be my earnest purpose, for in them abides the supreme command and from them the last order must always come. And with this in- tention to serve you I shall associate, as far is Iam able, the xight of judgment and the sense of personal accountability which must always | accompany the execntive station. . No mistaken sense of power will prevent that just and careful treatment which is every citi- zen’s duty. - No pride of opinion will retard the fullest recognition and acknowledgment of any view that may tend to. the public good and 1o intolerant clamor or irresponsible assanlt will force or prevent a single execu- tive act. For I think no man who possesses the attribute of fear is worthy to play & part in the discharge of a public duty. 2 This Government rests upon a foundation in which neutral tolerance is a confident support, The recognition of this adhesive power has built upon this continent & government so unique and sirong that no shock of foreign revolution or disaster has disturbéd it, and even the clash and turbulence of civil war have not destroyed it. The foundations of our Government are laid sure and deep, but a structure which not even war could overthrow may yield to intolerance and distrust. There are those who Lelieve they see images and por- tents that predict s storm. There are marks which I fear pointtoincreasing dissatisfac- tion and unrest. : : Marvelous as our growth has been we have not passed the voint where human, motives still control us, and where human passions must be kept in check.

There is upon us all a duty 1o curb the unbridled speech and act whose tendency is to weaken and dissever, and to cultivate that. reason and careful moderation which shail draw and hold us near together. * % . The Governor’s brevity in speech was a surprise to those- not familiar with his public utterance, but his remarks re- ceived pleasing rocognition.

L.— Members of the executive and central committees of the National party, who have been in ses- sion at the Sherman House for two days, wound . up their affairs to-night. While the fusion of the National party with thie old Prohibition party is deemed improba- ble L. B. Logan, Henry H. Roser and J. M. Dunlap were appointed a special com- mittee to use every effort to unite all true reformers into one body, if such can be effected without sacrifice of principle to the Natioual party. Mrs. Helen M. Gougar, who has always been prominent in the party and who was a member of both the executive and cen- tral commitiees, was asked to resign through a resolution presented by D.J. Thomas.

Green of Adrian, Mich,, was apuoinied in her stead. Resolutions calling for a fund of $10,000 todefray the expenses of the National com- mittees were adopted. —_—— STRUGGLES »Ok SENATORSHIPS.
