What may be the first step in the consolidation of the various large sugar interests in the i.dund of Cuba, or the purchase of these interests by American cupi- lulists, has been taken. The Chappurii Sugar company of Cuba, with offices in this city, hue placed contracts in this country aggregating over $2,000,000 for the equipment of tlie largest sugar plant ■ver built in Cuba. The company, of which ex-Congressman Hawley of Texas is president snd in which IL li Howclson k Co. and Theodore Havemeyer arc largely interested, has acquired 00,000 acres of land in eastern Cuba.

" St. Petersburg, March 24.—It is understood and generally believed iu diplomatic circles tliat the Kusso Chinese agreement now being considered differs . ,.n.-iderubly from the original draft, iiioiigh the precise differences ure not obtainable. ltu__si.ui statesmen reiterate: emphatically that Russia does not intend to assume a protectorate over Manchuria. Time In Growing Short. Washington, March 24.—The question of Chinese indemnities has given way lor the moment to the more pressing issue over the consummution of the Ku-.-i.i- lliiiiu agreement, relating to Manchuria. The latter subject has reached a decisive stage, as only three days remain in which China can confirm or reject the agreement. t'p to the present time, neither the state iu-p.iriiiii'iit nor the Chinese minister has received any report that China has rejected the treuty. There nat orally is much anxiety in official and diplomatic circles as to the outcome, the active part taken by the various powers and the threatening attitude of Japan giving unusual importance to the conclusions to be reached within the next few- duys. The Chinese minister today hud u conference with Seeretury Hay, the Man- churian question being the chief question of discussion. The minister brought no definite information, however, as to what has lieen done on the agreement. So far aa the United Stutes is concerned, it seems likely thut the last word has been spoken, and there is not expected to be any decisive move or protest 'beyond what already hns heen given. At the same time it is appreciated that thc United States has large commercial interests in Mun- chiiri'- which can not but be affected if China's authority there is practically transferred to liiissia.

Severe Storm In Florida. Pensacola, Fla., March 24.—Ureal damage was done by a severe southwest tornado, the winds raging from 48,to 54 miles an hour. Tlie Kussian hark Leitte was driven against the west side of Com- mundencia wharf with such violence that all three masts of the bark snapped off, leaving her rigging hi a mangled mass. Every vessel in the hay dragged anchor and the Norwegian Toly was being fast driven-lashore when she put on steam and pulled out into the stream again. The schooner Irene and two lighters loaded with lumber were driven ashore at the eity front. A small schooner capsized, several lighters loaded with lumber sunk and the beach is strewn with the wreckage of small boats and drift timber. There was an unusually high sea, the water lieing nearly level .with the wharves and nil morning vessels were tugging, tossing und pulling at their anchors amid the tangled mass of wreckage. There was no damage of consequence ashore and so far us known there wus no loss of life. Reduce Vrniy of Philippine*. New York, March 25.—A special from Washington gays: Advices from the Philippines are go encouraging for peace that the war department is considering the advisability of reducing the garrisons in the archipelago. The reorgunized army will be recruited to the full strength of 100,000 men, but it ia believed thut future requirements will not compel the administration to maintain this maximum. About 30,000 regulars will be entitled to their discharges in the current year. It is proposed to let these soldiers return to their homes nnd to not fill their places. Thus the army can bc reduced to 70,000 men in a perfectly natural way without interfering with its discipline or effectiveness. Kcw Oil Well Fund In Pern. Limn.

The investigation held in this city on Thursday last, when several locul freight agents were examined by the commission, will it is said, he resumed in Chicago shortly, and the ruilroud officials who evaded the inquiry'will be summoned to appear. It is alleged that the commission intends to prosecute for perjury some of the agents who testified at the Kansas City hearing. Bold itulilierw.

New York, March 24.—The 25th anniversary of the Lcgnl Aid society WSJ celebrated by a banquet at thc Waldorf. Saturday night. Among the guests of honor wero Vice President Roosevelt, Republic. The Flag Hill mine will soon ship its ore. The Republic mill Is slowly securing contracts for treating Republic ore. The Quilp has shipped to the Qranby smelter to date 194.3 tons of ore, having a gross value of approximately $6254. George L. Hedges hns Just arrived from Wauconda and stutes that the small test mill plant sent out by the Rossmnn company was tried with most flattering results. Some fine specimens of ore from the Princess Maud mine hnve been taken from the face of the north drift, nnd It is now coming In acrosB the ledge like the ribs of a man's body. In the Quilp mine the station on tho No. 4 level Is ull cut out and has only one set more ot' timbers to be put iu to finish It. The diamond drill ls boring away toward the vein. The California Is still looking well. All the ore that Is being taken out Is from nbove the 100 foot level. The ledge hns been drifted upon at thnt level for 70 feet in one direction and 100 in another. At the Butte & Boston the head of the upraise Is 140 feet from the surface and there are two streaks of ore ln sight—ono of them eight and the other twelve Inches wide, averaging $35 in gold and two ounces silver per ton. Peter McCormlck has had some big returns from samples from the Phil Sheridan, ln Sheridan camp. Four samples were assayed with the following results: $134.60. $287.56, $455.34, and $157.44. Samples from the footwall gave $5.80. The talk abolt railroad communication between the Boundary district nnd Republic, and the assured completion of such a line within the year, has created more than ordinary interest in mines in the region lying on both sides of Curlew lake. The Hutte & Iloston orcshoot that was found in thc old shaft has been found in the raise that was being made to connect the lower workings of the mine with it. Thc ore body is .about three feet wide. A grab sample from several buckets was taken and the nssayer's certificate showed that it curried 30 ounces of silver nnd nine and a hulf ounces in gold, having a total vnlue of $217,118. It will tnke some time to determine the length of the ore- shoot, but there is no doubt about the value of the ore. Thc reason thut it was not encountered in the drift on the 260 foot level was because it dips to the south. When the drift has been extended a short distance fnrther it will undoubtedly encounter the shoot. It Is reported from Loomls, Wash •■iris bronchi unity witnesses to show that ' that the crosscut at the 185 foot level & Campbell property on Salmon river the Cuiiningha.il girl hud nothing to do of the Lakeview ls In the ledge 22 feet Idaho; stntos thut the winter's work with the case, and the case against her ****d that the hanging wall has not yet had given assurance that the Blue jaok. et is a mine and may be a great one. At Loomls, WaHh., an option on tho property of the Mllwaukee-Palnier Mountain Oold k Copper Mining com. puny, on Mount Bllmeham, has boon given to eastern people. The option Is for $100,000 cash and lt will expir,, April 1. At Kellogg, Idaho, a very promlslne gold quartz discovery was mado on Elk creek a few days ago. To learn the extent of the find will be a part of the Immediate work of Al. Pnge, who has a bond on the claims an which the tiis. covery was made. At Myrtle, Idaho, reports from Up. per Trull creek are that Jerry Snvagg and party havo recently picked up several big nuggets, the largest being $43. Some think that the head of Trail creek will produce $15,000 this year. Every miner on the creek ls wearing a broad smile and Is spending money freely. The Anaconda, on Red Top Mountain, near Colville, Wash., shows a good vein of galena ore of a very high grade. An average across flve feet of the ledge at a depth of 25 feet gives nearly 60 per cent of lead and over 22 ounceH of silver. The ore Is easily handled by a crude smelting process and will eventunlly be treated at the mine in that way. Reports have just reached Loomls that an Important strike has been made In the Dull"frog tunnel. W. B. Rellly, who brought tbe news In, stated that when he was at the mine the miners had just broken Into a body of excellent looking quartz, which had every appearance of being a large vein and carrying good vnlues. This .Is thought to be the Phantom voln, - the objective point of the tunnel. The United States Marble company has become a dividend payer. The first monthly dividend of a quarter cent per share will be distributed to stockholders March 15. The company is incorporated for 1,600.000 shares and the dividend will consequently be $3,750. The company Is a Spokane corporation owning 18 claims of marble, onyx and slate In Stevens county, Wash., about eight miles weBt of Valley. The Leslie group of 10 claims lies at the head of St. Regis river, In Montana, just across the Idaho line, the property having a magnificent waterpower and an abundance of timber. The Leslie hns been developed systematically, and with each foot of work showed a good degree of Improvement, until the strike in the lower tunnel furnished a genuine surprise to stockholders and the public as well, copper values being substituted by nearly exclusive stiver and lead values. At Orangevllle, Idaho, tho Indications for an active mining season become more apparent every day, not only In the expressed Intention of those operating In the county, but supplies are being contracted for and pack trains laoded for distant camps, and there Is quite a movement on the part of prospectors, many of whom nre striking out for the different districts ln which they are Interested: James P. Turner has been pushing work all winter on his big placer proposition on Newsome creek. He has thnt property ln excellent shnpn for a big run the coming season. Word has heen received by one of tho stockholders In the Klondike mine, near Pierce City, Idaho, that A strike of considerable importance hns been made on the mine. Assays have been made of the ore nnd It runs n little over $1000 to the ton ln gold. The Klondike property Is owned by Spokane and Walla Walla parties and has just been taken over by the Klondike Mining k Milling company from the Oro Fino Quartz Mining & Milling company nt a handsome consideration, which has not been made public. J. D. Boyer. superintendent of the Oold Point Mining company's properties In the Red River district, has l*>ft for Portlnnd, where he will consult with the ofllcers of ihe company abont the erection of a' mill nnd reduction works on the property this summer. Mr. Boyer believes that the company has a great property, ih the Copper King, with Its large ore body, and the high values shown, and he has no doubt but thnt the company will conclude that the experimental stage of development has been passed and the time arrived for the erection, of a mill and thc working of the mine on a largo scale. BRITISH 1 ill I Mill \. The latest development of the refinery question is that a syndicate of capitalists, said to have their headquarters In Montreal, now have an expert mining and reduction man ln the Kootenays looking over the field with a view to reporting on the prospects for the successful operation of a refinery. The Cooper Wonder group of mining claims situated on Sophie mountain, about 10 miles from RosBlnnd, has been bonded to J. M. Palmer, a mining man of Spokane, who ls now negotiating with eastern parties for the purchase of the property. The price of the bond Is $100,000 and calls for continuous work for the six months which the bond runs. The group consists of seven claims and a fraction and Is situated near the famous Violet mines owned by the British Columbia company. A. B. W. Hodges, superintendent of the Granby smelter at Grand Forks, arrived at Rossland recently on his return from a visit of inspection to the various copper smelting plants In the western states and a trip to New York and Chicago. He announced that the" contract for the supply of the two additional furnaces with a joint minimum capacity of 600 tons per day and the two converters, capable of treating 100 tons of matte dally, had been awarded to the Gates Iron Works of Chicago, the same firm that furnished the original plant. This will give the Granby smelter a total capacity of 1200 tons per day. The contract calls for the delivery of the plant within 90 days and It will be In operation by September 1. That part of East Kootenay lying east of the Kootenay river ls one of great promise and must In time attract much more attention from raining men. The showings aro In many Instances remarkable, and ln any section traversed by a railroad would soon force the country to the front. Hampered as it has been by lack of transportation tho work has generally been confined to the annual assessments, real development ls behindhand and valuable claims are allowed to remain Idle. The mining properties are nearly all easy of access and can be reached by short journeys from good wagon roads. There Hold Ont <■» th« Tin Tru.l.

J„ while Its inhabitants were alseep Sunday morning and reduced 11 buildings, stores and residences to ashes. The conflagration was extraordinary ln character and ln its origin. * The village Is ln a valley along the line of the Jersey Central railroad. An immense freight train was coming east at 6: 30 a. m. It was composed of a string of Coal cars and 18 tank cars. High above the village the track of the railroad run along the side ot a mountain. They descend as they approach the village, but even at the station are considerably above the main street, which runs up to the depot at a steep Incline. A few miles west of the village, while coming down the Incline around the mountain, the train parted. The engineer on the forward end pulled open the throttle ot the engine and tried to race away from the section, which web Increasing its speed every secAd. He managed to keep clear of the racing cars until he got opposite the depot at Glengarden, when the second ..section smashed into the first. The first section, composed of coal cars, was going at a high rate of speed and none of Us cars were jolted off the track. The forward car, one of the oil tanks of the railway section, was hurled sidewlse across the track and the tank cars behind were piled upon top of It In every way. The first crash caused the oil ln one of the tanks to explode and ignite and the terrific heat caused the other cars to explode, one after the other. The incline running from the depot to the main street acted as a sluice for the burning oil and it poured into the chief thoroughfare of the village, setting Are to everything lt touched. Houses, fences, trees, shrubbery and barns were reduced to ashes in an incredibly short time. Villagers awakened by the explosion rushed from the oncoming flood of blazing oil, carrying children ln their arms. Some risked their lives to free horses, cows and dogs in outbuildings, but other unf6rtunate animals could not be reached ln time and were burned. Within flve minutes after the first ex- plesion the flowing river of oil had reached Masonic temple In the heart of the village and 10 minutes later that structure was enveloped ln flames. Then building after building ignited after the oil reached them, and within half an hour the area of 400 fent square wns a mass of flame. From the wrecked cars the oil also flowed down the incline of the railroad track, making a long line of fire that destroyed the ties and bent and twisted rails. Loss, $85,- 000 to $90,000.

The proof that such a remedy is within the reach of an rheumatic sufferers ls found in Mr. Dalton's own words. He says: "I had been troubled with rheumatism all my life, even when a boy. It attacked me ln the legs, arms and shoulders. The pain ln the latter was particularly severe. I, of course, took medicine for it, but did not obf:iiii permanent relief. One day about three years ago while reading a newspaper, I saw an advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and determined to give them u trial. I bad taken but three boxes of the pills when the trouble, which had been my affliction from childhood, entirely disappeared. "About a year later I had another attack of rheumatism which was brought on by working ln a damp place.

Loudon, March 24.—The Speaker says there are unmistakable signs of more trouble between thc masters and the Operatives in the cotton trade.

The Lancashire spinners and weavers have held out longer thnn their rivals in the. I'nited Mates or on the continent, hut the rapid closing down of the mills allows their turn is coming, and as the American crop is likely to bc insufficient even for the reduced consumption, there is not much prospect of low level quotations for raw cotton to invigorate the demand for yarns and cloth.

Among the institutions identified with the growth and development ot San Francisco Heald's business college holds a conspicuous place. Both as a business enterprise and an educational institution it has been evei since Its organization, nearly forty years ago, extremely popular and eminently successful. It is ln the class of those solid and substantial Institutions In which a city takes pride, Citizens point to it as one of the old reliable and thoroughly progressive establishments, an institution with a definite purpose and an unquestioned status. In connection with commercial education the name of Heald's is a household word on the Pacific coast and throtiRhout the country at large. In Its own field of effort It is as widely known as Stanford or Berkely, for lt enrollB students from the four quarters of the globe. In 1899 every county In California but four had students In Heald's Business College. The four not repiHsenteti were Del Norte, Lassen. Orange and Ventura. The register of the college shows that in 1900 students were enrolled from the following states and territories outside of California; In many cases there were several representatives from each: Nevada, Iowa, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Arizona. Kansas, Missouri, Pennsylvania, New Jersy, Vermont, Virginia and New Mexico. In 1900 students came directly to the school from Mexico, Canada, Japan, the Hawaiian Islands, Yukon territory, Siberia and Central America. Enrollments were also made from England and Sweden. Its large oody or alumni constitute a most formidable promoting force, and the steady growth of the college can be attributed largely to the commending voice of those thousands of graduate!, who know whereof they speak. For full information write to ths college for the SO-page catalogue and cillege Journals. Address. E. I'. Heald, President, 24 Post street. San Francisco, Cal.
