BOSTON, Nov. 13.—The mother love whicn is so strong 1n the breast of evor woman caused Emidore Fortin, wife of Arthur Fortin, to make the greatest of all sacrifices this forenoon in a heroic at- tempt to save the life of her six-vear-old son Henry. This morning Mrs. Fortin was struck by a train near the village oi St. Jean Baptiste, a mile from Valley Falls, R. I, and both mother and son were instantly killed. As the passenger train due at Valley Fulls at 9:45 o’clock reached that vicinity the engineer saw the little boy run out on the track and he reversed his engine and blew the whistl .

Prove That Goid 1s Not an E emeant, but the Result of Chemical Actlon. will special Dispatch to THE CALL. CHICAGO, Nov. 18.—E. C. Brici lurgist, chemist, inventor and and general manager of the Metallurgical Company, declares he will commence on a large scale the munufac- ture of pure goid at a new plant at Thirty- ninth street and Low avenue next Mon- day morning. He announces he will be able to make 10,000 tons of a certainorea day in four furnaces in the plant, and this ore will yield $2650 a ton when refined. The process is as follows: Pure antimony is placed in the furnace and subjected 10 destructive distillation, The fumes arising from this process are driven by means of air blasts from fans into a shaft 6 feet in diameter and 105 feet long. Atthe end of this shaft the fumes are run into wool bags, oun the sides of which antimony collects in the form of gray-colored sand, the fumes arising from the coal being allowed to escape through the meshes of cloth. Thissand is mixed with water to the consistency of modelers’ clay and cutinto small blocks, whic) are piaced in the f nace and subjected to a heat approximat- ing 5000 degrees. This s to nearly as possible volcanic National action. secure as | Oxygen, so Brice explains, is the medium | of the change. For forty-eight hours the blocks are allowed to remain in the fur- nace, which is patented, in which Brice is success, inas- much as he has devised the means of se- curing great heat in larze amounts. An ore-crusher of the drypan kind then grinds the blocks into gritty sund and this is put in anotber furnace and covered with two portions of lead to one of sand, which Brice calls his artificial ore, Asits specific gravity is greater than that of sc- calied ore, the lead is precipitated to the bottom of the furnace. The intense heat causes the lead to form letharge, which acis as caustic on the ore and eats up nearly all its constituen: ele- | ments, except the goid and silver alleged | | to be thus producel. The lead, as mixed with the gold and silver, is pase bullion. To refine the base builion it is molded in- 10 which are placed in bone-ash cups. Thirty of the cups are put in the furnace and fused. Forty minutes is all the time necessary to cause the bone:ash 10 absorb all the impurities in the bul- lion, leaving a mixture of pure gold and silve ¥rom 160 ounces of the mixture thus acquired is obrained twenty-six ounces of gold and silver, and the two are separated by any of the metnod< in common vogue. Itis stated by Mr. Bric: that he will be able to make $30,000 worth of gold a week after the plant 1s started, ana he has e fected arrangements by which the entire output will be taken by the Bank of Eng- land. Hae does not care to ciscuss thedis- astrous result which ths discovery of his practicable methot of making gold would, according to financiery, have upon the monetary systems and finances of the world. Brice is a native of Dayvton, Ohio, and has long studied chemistry. He came to Cuicago four years ago, and lives at 3040 Calumet avenue. All bis life Brice, who is still in his thirties, has been decided in the opinion tual goli is notan element. but the result of chemical action. Upon this theory he has labored for years, and has, so he insists, at iast solved the pro- cess by which the yeliow metal is formed in nature. *I am not an alchemist nora believer in alchemy,” he says, **bat I have found how ufacture gold protitably and prac- REFUSE AMERICAN WHEAT.

BLISS Secretary of the Interior Urges Important Reforms. DECIDED INCREASE OF PENSIONS. Indian Territory Tribes Have Violated the Spirit of Their Agreement. WHITES ONLY TENANTS BY SUFFERANCE. Leglisiation for the Coming C=ensus and a Change in Alaska Laws Are Recommended. Special Dispatch to THE CALL WASHINGTO! Nov. 18, —Secretary of the Interior Bliss in his annual re port, made pubilc to-nizht, submits estimates aggregating $156,532,419 for appropriations by Congress for the fiscal yearending June 30, 1899. Discussing pensions he says 200,000 pen- sion claims are awaiting adjudication and it is estimated that 40 or 50 per cent of these will be finally admitted. 1f they are rapidly adjudicated they will swell the pension roll from $5.000,000 to $7,000,009. When, however, these claims are adju- dicated and the first yaymeats mude thereoa the amount of the pension roll will decrease very rapidly, possibly to $125,000,000 or §130,000,000 the first year. Reterring to the Indians in the Indian Territory the Secretary says the five tribes have undoubtedly violaied in many ways the spirit of their agreement with the United States, under which the territory is now heid and governed, and while he does no: recommend any harsh Govern- ment action, the Secretary calls the atten- tion of the President and Congress to the chaotic condiiion of affairs in the Terri- tory growing out of the several tribes’ methods of administration. Leading In- dians have absorbed great tracts to the exclusion of the common peopie and government by an Indian aristocracy has been practically established to :he detri- ment of the people. From 200,000 to 25,000 wlites, by per- mission of the Indian Government, have settled in the Territory, but are merely tenants by sufferance. No government for the Ind Territory will be satisiuctory undil Congress shall provide for the es- tablishment of a single, uniform system for tbe entire Indian Territory thal shall place its inhabitants in possession of the rights of American citizers. Recommendation is made that the ve- riod for the allotment of lands to the Un- compahgre Indians shall be extended to such time beyond April 1, 1859, as Con- giess shall deem best. Keference is made to the contentions of the Uncompahgres as to sllotment requirements, and it is stated that the proceeds of the Colorado iands when received, over »nd above the cost of the removal of the Indiins ($429 - £57) and the trust fund of $1,250,000, is to be applied, so far as requisite, 10 the re- imbursements of the Uintuhs, whose lands are 1o be taken. The Uncompahgres, contrary to their ideas,- do not in fact pay for the allot- ments, except as a matter of exchange. Ii the sales of ithe Coiorado lanas cannot immediately yield suflicient for reim- bursement of the Uintabs the Govern- !'ment is urged to advance the necessary sumand toawuit thesale of thelanisforits own reimbursement. The sum of §1,216, B86 i« now in the treasury to the creait of wne Utes fund, resulting from the sale of the Uolorado lands, and in addition there must yet be realized from the sales over $50,000 to reimburse the Government, the expenses, etc., of the removal and the $1,250,000 set nside from the puolic moneys as a trust fund. Such fegisiation as will enable the people of tne United States to reap the benefit of the valuable mineral aeposits is recommended. Speeay action in securing proper legis- lation ior the coming twelfth census is urged, lack of sufficient time in the past two or three enumerations is complained of, and the necessity of many reforms in the way of less:ning the bulk of reports ana the elimination of several branches of inquiries from the twel th censas, either by vostponement or transfer to bureaus aiready in existence, is urved. Itis anticipated that before the close of the field season the Geological Survey will have gathered sufficient data as 1o tie settled ares of the reserves embracea in the executive forestry orders to enable tbe depurtment to form an opinion as to population and Ymprovements included within the reserves and the distribution of the forest and agriculiural lands, Concerning Aluska Secretary Bliss says existing conditions demand a radical change in the laws relating thereto, and he recommends that the public land laws be extended ‘o that district; that addi- tional land offices be created and annro- priations made to carry them into effect; that the granting of rights of way for railways, t-legraph and telephone lines and the construction of roads and traiis be specifically authorized; that provision be made for the incorporation of munici- palities, providing for the hoiding of elec- iions, defining qualili=ations for voting and giving such powers as are used and exercised by municipalities elsewhere; that the legal and pelitical status of the native populatior, which is in doubt, be defined; that citizenship be extendedt to the Metiakabtla Indians who emigrated from British Cowumbia, and under au- thority of an_act of Congress, anproved March 30, 1891, now occupy Annette Island; tnat ¢omplete terriiorial govern- ment be authorized and established and that representation in Congress be granted.

REFUSES TO SEE HIS ADMIRERS. Remains in His Stateroom While Fireworks Burn in Launches. THE EUTCHER’S WELCOME IS A FIASCO. Spalin’s Cause in the Island Prob- ably Alded by the Release of the Compstitor Prisoners. Copyright, 1897, by James Gordon Benuett. CORUNNA, frary, Nov. 19.—The ar- rival of General Weyler on Spanish terri- tory has taken place at last. I have just returned from on board the Montserrat, which anchored in this port an bour ago with General Wevler. The quay was crowded with an immense multitude, but the crowd was perfectly undemonsirative. It may be said that General Weyler's re- ception, so far as snowing the feelings of Spanish peopla for him, was a complete farce. He did not appear on the deck, but remained locked in his cabin, refusing absolutely 1o see anybody except Govern- ment authorities, but he made ashort speech in reply to the commission. His remarks were perfectly complimentary and devoid of political significance. The Marquis de Ahumada told me they had a fair voyage, but refused all other informatfon. An infiueniial passenger on board says that the pump broke and ne- cessitated putting in at G.bara, but he fintly denied the reported demonstration there in General Weyler’s favor, saying he saw nothing of it, and disbelieves that the same honors were paid to General Wevler as thouzh ne were still captain- eneral of Cuba. He says that General Weyler went ashore at Porto Rico, but no demonscration was made there. m able, however, to report extraordi- ry conduct on General Weyler's part with regard to passengers on board the Montserrat. Since he left Havana he has reserved the right to allow or refuse pas- sage. Sentries have been posted on all parts of the ship night and day, and only those authorized by Generai Wevler could pass on boerd. Iam told that Marquis de Comillas, who is the head of tae Spanish Trans-Atlantic Company, practically gave the boat to General Wey!er for the present journey, aithough the general only pays three first-class fares. In consequence he scarcely allowed any one but miliiary men to take passaze, and many civilians were refused permiss on to make the voyage. The boat seemed to me like a huge barracks. The Montserrat goes trom hers direct to Barcelona, so nassengers and cargo for Santander or Cadiz must go overland. This arrange- ment coiacides wilh General Weyler's wishes, since he is anxious to land at Barcelona because his family is there, and it is thought he will not come ashore here. Several committees of sympathizars were on board steam launches with bauds and tireworks, but owing to General Weyler reiusing to show himself their proceedings lacked importance. The Montserrat brings 600 troops, all sick, and proceeds to Barce- lona to-morrow morning early. — = RELEASE OF PRISONERS. Those Held In Connection With the Competitor Will Return to This Country. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. — Minisier Wood/ord has telegraphed the State De- partment that the Spanish Cabinet has notified him that the Queen has pardoned the Competitor prisoners. The State De- partment announces that the Competitor vrisoners were turned over to Consul-Gen- eral Lee last Mondav and will be sent by bim dizect to New York. It is not douvted here that the pris- oners are hberated on some such condi- tions as were imposed in the case of for- mer prisoners, that i, that they will not return to Cuba. It is singular that the men should have veen four days in the cusiody of Consul- General Lee without the fact having be- come generally known, hut it is supposed that the secrecy was observed in order to insure departure from Havana without exciting troubie from the exireme Con- servative Spanish faction. NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—The Herald’s Washington correspondent telegraphs: Administration cofficials are very much peased to have ihe Competitor question out of the way. Added to many otner concessions recently made to the United States, and to the active eflort of the new Ministry to apply genuine autonomy in the island, the President ieels and hopes that when he reviews in his annual mes- sage all that has been done by Spain to improve the condition in Cuba.

At~ tempts, of course, will be made to force the hand of the President. This is al- ready evident from the talk of pro-Cuban Senators who have arrivea in the city. Senator Chandler is confident that sume kind of intervention resolution wiil be passed by this Congress. I am positive,” ne said to-day, “that soms action will be taken looking to the relief of t e insurgents. I do not know whnat Mr. McKinley will recommend, tut [am inclined to the opinion that he wiil leave the entire matter to the judgment of Congress, and abide by any decision it may make. Friends of Cubain the House and Seunate are divided on the courss which they think ought to be pursued. Some are in favor ot granting belligerent rights, while others favor girect interven- tion by the United States. I believe that the United States ought to intervene with- out delay. Thatsome action will be taken in regard to the suffering people of the island there is no doubt.” Although the department and Minister de Lome uave made no secret of Spain’s intention to apply the recent amnesty prociamation to the Competitor prisoners, the fact that they were released four ago was carefully withheld. This was done, Minister de Lome explains, to avoid any hostile demonstration on the part o! those who insisted upon the punishment of these men. department is that they were liberated with the stibulation that they shouid not retarn to the Island. Minister de Lome tol me, however, that they were released un- der the terms of the general amnesty proclamation, and that if any special con- ditions were imposed he did not know what they were. He naturally assumed that the men wou'd not be allowed to re- turn. MacBride Not Seriously Injured.
