NEW YORK , July 10. A dlspal
to the Tribune from London , En
says : The complete success of Jo
R. Bartlett's campaign in the Engli
oil seed trade is assured When
came to England five months ago t
managers of the linseed and cottc
seed crushing mills and refineries v <
competing sharply with one anotl
and adopting no methods for self pn
ervation. He has drawn GO per ec
of this great trade into an amalgam :
ed company. His plan of operatic
has been adopted by a majority of t
trade , including all the stiongest co
panics and firms. He has made cc
tracts with seventeen corporations a
firms and purchased twenty-eight mi
and twelve oil refineries , AVith pla ;
business and good will. The Bnti
Oil and Cake mills , limited , has be
organized to carry into effect the
agreements made by him and his brc
ers and conduct the business for t
common advantage of tne majority
the trade. The share capital and i
benture stock of the consolidat
company is 2,250,000 , hut 500C
is reserved for future development
the business.
The British Oil and Cake Mills , li ;
ited , is an exact reproduction of sii
ilar amalgamations in America , wi
the single difference in detail that t
stock is not watered. The new co ;
pany is neither a trust nor a monopc
but simply one of many industr ;
amalgamations which are formed le
as readily as in America. English Is
sanctions such consolidations and th
receive the support of the great *
financiers , and there is no popular a ?
tation against them.
The Consolidated company will
powerful enough to control productl
the disposal of products r < nd the ii
provement of plants will be the rain
tion to the English oil trade.
While allowing Mr. Barllett to car
out his own plan without modificatlc
the British trade is acting entirely f
itself and independently of any Aim
lean trade amalgamation. There is
yet no concerted action between trad
of the two countries , nor any attem
to regulate prices by an internation
trust or combination. Some basis
common action may be arranged in t :
future.
TEST NEW RAPID-FIRE GUNS.
Designs of Six PoundersVhI <
Kcllpso Previous Kecords.
NEW YORK , July 10. A new rapi
fire gun designed for the protection
mine fields and a novel semi-aut
matic six-pounder for the navy h
been successfully tested on the pro
ing grounds of the Driggs-Seabu
Gun and Ammunition company
Derby , Caun. These guns were bu
for the army and navy respective
under contracts awarded at the begi
ning of the war with Spain and w
probably play an important part in t
plan and scope of national defens
The army gun is a six-pounder of t
Driggs type and is mounted upon
parapet carriage , which admits of t
piece being fired with the same rapi
ity as upon a naval mount , while
can be easily transported from pla
to place. In fact , the new weapon
a combination of a field and coast cl
fense gun. Its use will be principal
to protect the torpedoes in the ha
bors by throwing such an overwheli
ing shower of shot and shell that i
small boat could live within its zo :
of fire.
The semi-automatic gun is also
six-pounder and is expected to wo
a revolution in rapid-fire guns , fc
with it a speed of sixty shots per mi
ue was attained , which is twice tl
record by the six-pounder win
worked by hand. Another importa
feature is that it reduces a crew of
six-pounder from four to two men , 01
of whom throws fixed ammunition
a person throws coal into a furna (
while the other fires as the breech lei

place in the first half of June , pa
trains arriving at Dawson daily frc
Bonanza , Eldorado , Hunker and Si

to $1,500,000 in dust. The big pa
train made several trips from Pn
Lippey's claim on Eldorado , whi
produced two tons of gold dust.
The largest nuggets yet found in t
Klondike were discovered during t
clean-up. One from Claim 4 , below
Bonanza , weighed sixty and one-h ;
ounces and was valued at $9C8. A st
larger one , but impregnated wi
quartz , was found on Gold hill ,
weighed over 10G ounces and is valu
at $1,804.

AKIN TO CONSCRIPTION.
Bill In the House of Lords Likely

LONDON , July 10. In the housfi <
lords today the secretary of state f (
war , the Marquis of Lansdowne , ii
troduced a bill which is regarded t
the thin end of the wedge of conscrij
tion and as therefore likely to rendt
the government unpopular.
The bill , which is entitled , "The MI
Itia Ballot Act , " is intended to simpl
Cy and regularize an existing act no
practically suspended in favor of vo
untary enlistment.
In his speech introducing the mea :
ure Lord Lansdowne carefully e3
plained that the government enl
wanted it read the first time , as the :
was no intention of passing it , and h
scouted the suggestion of trying t
introduce conscription by a side wln <
Personally , he said , he did not favc
conscription , but he thought it "advh

iness if wanted , " and that the "cour.

nite Independence Day.
HAVANA , July 10. The Teceptl
and ball given last evening by Gene
Ludlow , the military commander , o
shone any social function in Hava
In recent years. Innumerable r
white and blue electric lights , the
sands of roses , hundreds of flags a
no end of sabers , bayonets and rill
artistically grouped , made the sec
within the palace memorable.
More than a thousand guests attei
ed. Music was furnished by two mi

were In evidence , most of them wei
ing glittering orders and many of t
women wore handsome Jewelry. G (
eral Ludlow gave the function in her
of Independence day and the repi
sentative Cubans and Spaniards
Havana were present.
American officials here are surpris
at the large number of Cubans n <
applying in the province of Santia
for a share of the gratuity. The Cub
officers had assured them there w (
not 100 men in the province who woi
accept money from the United Stat
basing the assurance on telegran
which purported to come from San
ago. Even when it became kno
that these dispatches were Inspired
Cuban malcontents here , and concoct
in the Inglaterra cafe , it was still f
that these opponents of a dissoluti
of a Cuban army might succeed
preventing a large number from a
plying to the American paymnste
Those who knew the facts believ
that Santiago insurgents were mu
underestimated on the pay rolls , esi
daily as the Cuban generals h
always claimed that more than CO r
cent of the army was in Santia
province. It turns out that the jej
ousy that existed in war times betwe
the eastern and western troops st
exists , and that those in Santia
province are more likely to reject th ;
except advice from Havana.
