Ainusff , OcU 27. [ New York- Herald
Cable Special to Tun BBC. ] The weather
on the wedding morning was gloriously flne.
"King's weather" the pcoplo called It. The
king of Grccco is nrovorblally lucky In the
matter auspicious skloi for Htato occas
ions. All day long thcra has boon n do-
llclous scent of tnyrtlo throughout the
streets of the city , whcro it has been pro
fusely used In decorations. In fact , Athens
has bcon transferred Into a city
of myrtle. It is a trmsn of
flags and evergreens , with triumphal
arches at all the principal street Intersec
tions.
At an early hour the town was filled with
people from the surrounding country , nnd
the national costumes of the peasants added
much to the picturosquoncss of ttio scene.
At 8 o'clock a anluta of llvo guns was II red
and forthwith bugle cnlfa rang out from all
points about town through the clear morn
ing nlr. As If by magic , the greatest anima
tion was nt once apparent In the streets ,
which , during the next fuw hours , developed
into cnthuslnsn of the wildest dcscriptlo n that
Athens nai over witnessed. Along ttio
route to bo followed by tha bridal procession
every Inch of vantage ground was taken up.
All the stands in the Rue do Scado , Rue
d'Euolo , Ruu d'Hormls and Place do la Con
corde were lllled with people. The streets
themselves wcro crowded with ucoplo in
holiday altlro , all anxious to got slcht of the
brlJo. There was continual chccrlnir. All
tha windows affording a view of the pro
cession wcra occupied , and thousands of
pcoplo vlowod the parade from the roofs of
bouses. The streets were lined with soldiers.
The royal party loft the palace nt 11 o'clock.
The brldo looked very happy , but appeared
to bo a trlllo norvous. Nevertheless , she
bowed her acknowledgments of the appluusa
of tha pcoplo , who wcro all much pleased
with her girlish sweetness.
For weeks thcra has boon the keenest do-
slro to obtain tickets to witness the wedding
ceremony , and those who. wcro luoky enough
to got them came early. There was plenty to
interest them during thu long wait. The first
lady to nppcar in thu diplomatic circle wis
Mmo. Vlakos In a magnificent Greek cos
tume of white , red and gold. Next came
Mine. Trunbenburg in u court costume , with
nplnk nnd whltn satin front , surmounted by
a head dress , with n pink band ornamented
with diamond stars , from which depended' '
a gauze veil. They wore closely followed by
Mmo. Olancsko In a sky blue dress with
gold train ; Princess Santzo , In a costume of
red velvet and a grand display of diamonds ;
Mine. Baclimctnv , wearing u Russian costume
of orange und gold ; Mmo. Ojedt , whoso dress
was admirably set off by n white Spanish
mtatlllu about her head ; Baroness Kosjeb ,
In n light blue dress trimmed with gold oui-
broldery ; Lady Monson , In a pretty pink
silk costume , trimmed with gold.
Aftorawhllo the ladles of the court ap
peared , headed by Mmo. Thochori , Mme , Sa-
pountzukis nnd Mmo. Anargro , wearing a
natural Greek court costumo. Tholr entrance -
trance was immediately followed by that
of ninety-six ladles belonging to
the suite of the empress of Germany ,
queen of Italy , princess of Wales nnd Emp
ress Frederick , tnoso of the latter being all
dressed in sombro colors.
Count Ilurbert Bismarck , In the court
dress of n minister , attracted every cyo. The
bishops and archbishops , in tholr gorgeous
satin und gold raiments , stood In Una behind
a table , while the metropolitan of Athens
stood In front supported on each side by n
priest , ono holding two candles , symbolic of
Father and Son , and the other tlirco candles ,
symbolic of the Father , the Son and tha
Holy Ghost.
On the arrival of the royal party at the
cathedral the metropolitans mot them ut the
door. Tbo company entered the church in
tbo following order : The French ambassa
dor , accompanied by the empress of Ger
many ; the emperor of Germany , escorting
Empress Frcdcilck ; the king of Denmark ,
accompanied by the queen of Italy ; the
prlnco of Wales , accompanied by the queen
of Denmark ; Prlnco Henry , of Prussia ,
and the princess of Wales ; czarowitch
and the princes of Saxo Menlngon ,
Then followed the duke of Sparta and
Princess Sophlo.
Tha arrangements in the body of the ca
thedral were aa follows : The center beneath
the dome , which was carpeted with Greek
colors , was filled with royalties , the king nnd
queen of Grocco in the center , and next them
the emperor and empress of Germany , ex-
Empress Frederick , the prince and princess
of Wales und their lords and ladlos-ln-walt-
ing. On the left side of the center stood the
diplomatic corps and the ndmlrals of the va
rious Heats. On the right of the center were
the generals and high otllcors of the army and
distinguished strangers. In tbo body of tlio
cathedral on the loft wcro the mayors and
clvlu dignitaries from all parta of Greece.
On tha right were the envoys from abroad
nnd all parts of Greece.
The emperor of Germany were the full
dress uniform of tha Whlto HUB surs and tbo
prlnco of Wales that of the Guards. Prlnco
Albor tVlctor was dressed in the full uniform
of the Hussars , The king of Greece and
king of Denmark were the uniform of
Groolc cavalry generals.
The bridal dress was made of
wlilto satlc , with long trails of orange
blossoms , The enormous train of brocaded
Ilk was huld by thrco innids of honor.
Empress Frederic ! : were a gray dress ,
while all the rest of thu royal ladles appeared
in white , with their usual coromoulul jewels
and decorations.
The co re tnony commenced ntonce , Empress
Frederick leading her daughter to the tublo
end ttio king of Greece his son. The king
gave his hund to Einprcas Frederick and
they both retired. The ceremony was of
the most improBslvo character and lasted
un hour anil a quarter. It was the usual ono
prescribed by the ritual of the Grcolc church ,
with ono exception. Instead of using tbo
ceremony with crowns of orungo blossoms ,
at the special request of tbo queen of Grccco
gold crowns surmounted by a cross were
used. This was held over the head of the
brldo thrco times by Prlnco Henry , of
Prussia , Prlnco Edward and Prlnco Gcorgo ,
of Wales , and over the head
of the bridegroom by the czarowitch
end Princes Gcorgo and Nicholas of Greece.
This ceremony was ogaln repeated when the
brldo and groom had walked around the
Ublo tbreo times.
The moment tbo young couple wcro united
a magnificent burst of red light poured
through the colored windows of the ca
thedral , suffusing the brldoand groom nnd
producing n marvelous effect upon tlio
brilliant uniforms nnd beautiful dresses.
The ceremony completed , the Princess
Sophie kissed thrco times the king
of Greece , Empress Frederick , the
empress of Germany and the
queen of Italy. She then kissed once each
the prlnco of Wales , the princess of Wale
nnd the young urinccsa. The emperor of
Germany kissed his mother heartily three
times.
The crowns used wcro those with which
the king nnd ouccn of Greece wore married.
The party returned to the ualaco In ho
sama order In which they .c.vino.
In the afternoon tha duke of Sonrta
nnd Pnqccss Sophlo Urovo through the city
in nn open barouche amid the greatest en
thusiasm.
To-night the whole city was illuminated
and tbo cntlro population and many visitors
paraded the street ? , cheering nnd shouting.
At a late hour this evening the illumina
tions were spoiled by a vJolcnt gala of wind.
After the wedding the newly married couple
gave a breakfast nt tholr new homo.

Lojjno.v , Oct. 27. ( Now York Herald
Cable Special to Tun Bin.l : Mr. Huntington -
ton Informed the Herald correspondent to
day thttt ( t was his intention and that of the
family to have his daughter's ' niarringo
solemnized In Now York until ton days ago.
Prlnco Hntzfi'.ldt induced the family to
chance their plans on the ground that the trips
across the Atlantic at this season of the
year were not calculated to make lifo n
dream of happiness , und it was therefore do-
clded to mnko the tnnrriugo semi-private on
account of the short time for mailing ar
rangements and because many friends of
the family are absent from London , although
only n small circle of relatives and friends
have been informed of to-morrow's event.
Miss Huntlngton has been singularly for-
tuuato in the matter of presents. These may
not ba numerous , but they are magniilcunt ,
In fact , few young ladles begin married life
so well supplied with these luxurious
necessaries that are the special da-
light of womankind , namclyr-dlamonds.
Her father's chief present to her
is a nccklaco containing about nighty gems ,
none of them less than two and most of them
over three carats in weight , and all of the
finest water. Ho has also given her a mag-
nillccnt diamond brooch. Mrs. Huntington
gives a glorious diamond star , the central
gem of which must weigh twenty carats.
The father and mother of Prince
Hatzfeldt gave n splendid diamond nccklaco
of u slnglo row of gems , the latter all of
large size and of the most curious design.
Prince Hatzsaldt's present is a beautiful
ornament , which may bo worn in the hair oren
on tbo dress. It contains a slnglo largo and
beautiful pearl , reinforced by a perfect forest
of small diamonds. There are other pres
ents , all of diamonds , and all of them of the
most artistic and costly character.
After the wedding In the morning the
party will taUo breakfast ut the German em
bassy.

Martin Duuno , who it was rumored last
niKlit had been arrested at St. Joseph , Mich. ,
was bolng talked up to-night nsun important
suspect lu the Cronin case. It is understood
his description corresponds to that ot the
man in whoso company Cronln disappeared.
Chief Hubbard , In an interview , expressed
surprise nt tha report that ijuano was In
custody. Hoi ntlmrued that Ofllcor Collins had
been sent to interview rather than to arrest
him. The Idea apparently was for Collins to
ingratiate himself with the suspect and before -
fore making any move endnuvor to obtain in
formation which might prove of value.
Late to-night news of the arrest was con

that the suspect hud bcon released , It Having

A. Second TrniiH-Coutlnenml Lino.
nUBNVKii , Oct , 3" . [ Special to Tun BBB. |
The recent consolidation of the Union Pa-
ctnc nnd the Chicago & North western , giv
ing a through t > nc from oce.m to ocean ia
the Vnndorbllt Interests , has been discussed
In almost ovcry aspect save in regard to the
Central Pacific. Movements In progress fn '
eastern Utah und western Colorado for sov-
orul months past indicate that the Central
Pnclllo has been forewarned regarding this
now deal , sflid 1ms been providing Itself with
a friendly connection nt Ogdcn , whan it
should become the Interest of the Union Pa-
clllc to throw its trnDlo nortuw.ird toward
Portland.
Citizens of Omaha have not fully consid
ered the Import of these movements , and a
brief resume of the railway situation In the
territory referred to , and Its future bearing
on transcontinental trafllc , may bo of Inter
est to the renders of TUB Bun.
When the old Denver & Hlo Grande West
ern came out of the hands of n receiver nnd
reorgunl/ed under the name of the Rio
Grande Western , It was announced that it
would widen Its iraugc , Improve Its line und
Dlaco Itself in u first class condition. Every
body wondered why this was to bo done.
Extending from Grand Junction , Col. , to
Ogdcn , Utah , n distance of 3(0 ( miles , It had
been run In connection with the Denver &
Hio Grande on u through narrow guugo route
from Denver to Salt i nlco City and Option.
It had always remained under the control of
General William J , P.ilmor and Colonel D.
C. Dodge , nlthouirn forced Into n receiver's
hands at the tltno Love joy , or the successor
of the Palmer-Dodge management wrecked
the Denver & Kio Grande. Thuso two
men wore ut the front at the comp.inv also
when It reorganized , nnd soon began to make
good their promise by beginning actual work ,
nnd within u few wccits broad gauge trains
will bo running to Grand Junction. .
This action of the Hio Grande Western loft
the Denver & Hlo Grande apparently one of
txvo alternatives to break bnclc at Grand
Junction , or to also broaden Us ifbago from ,
Canon City to Grand Junction. The latter
alternative xvas next to Impossible , on ac
count of the dlftlculties presented on Mar
shall Pass , nnd in the black canon of the
Gunnlson. It next turned its attention to its
Englo river branch , which had been ex
tended toGlenwood Springs , and thence for
twenty-live miles down the river valley to
Rlllo creek , sixty-llvo miles from Grand
Junction. Another very important
fact directed tbo attention of the
Denver & Hlo Grande management in this
direction , and that was the Colorado Mid
land railway , which also.reached Glonwood
Springs , and paralleled the Denver & Hio
Grande twelve tnllcs down the Grande to
Newcastle1
The Midland had never been considered a
factor In the through business In fact the
Denver & Hlo Grande had never paid much
attention to it , except to pool with it on
Loadvillo , Glenwood nnd Aspen business ,
common points reached by botlt companies.
But the Midland was broad gauge , and tha
action of the Hlo Grunuc Western in widen
ing its rails , gave to the rival of the Denver
& Hlo Grande a sudden and startling
Importance. The Midland had only
to build from Newcastle to Grand
Junction , a distance of soventy-olght miles
down the valley of the Grand , und u broad
gauge connection would have been formed
which would have at once rendered the
narrow gauge of the Denver & Hio Grande
valueless.
Fortunately perhaps for both companies ,
there were two or three gentleman who
wcro Rtoiikholdors and directors In both the
Denver & Hlo Grande nnd Colorado Midland
companies , and the result was a compro
mise.
The nature of this compromise the or-
gauizatlon of the Hlo Grande Junction rail
way , which is to bo built jointly by the two
'companies ' between Hillo creek and
Grand Junction , and operated In their
mutual interest. The contract has
already been lot , and work will
bo begun in u few days. This sixty-five
miles of now road will bo completed in Feb
ruary , and then over the Colorado Midland
nnd Hlo Grundo Junction , and Hlo Grande
Western roads , broad gauge cars will bo
running between Denver and Ogden. It
will take the Denver & Rio Grande soaio
months longer to complete its change of
gauge between Canon Uity and Hillo Creek ,
a distance of 281 miles , ttio line being al
ready broad gauge from Denver to that
point.
This now line will RVO ! the Central Pnolflo
a friendly connection at Ogden , and from
Denver eastward over the Burlington , Hock'
Island and Missouri Puclllo to
Omaha , Kansas City. Chicago .and St.
Louis. While it will nave an evident *
effect on the development of western Colorado
rado , nnd the growth of Denver , it will also
have a similar effect on Omaha by giving it
two broad gauge routes to the Puclllc , both
competing for travel nnd truffle. The recent
Union Pacific-Northwestern deal gives
color to the rumor which has long existed
that the Central Puclllo bus all tlio time
been behind the Rio Grande Western , and
was making for itself a connection which
would bo inoro friendly than the Union
Paolflo.
It is only necessary in this connection to
refer to the proposed "AcequU Cut-off , " by
which It Is prepared to shorten tlio Denver
& Hlo Grande'H line 100 miles , and the Mid
land's line llity miles. This cut-off will
leave the Klo Grande seventeen miles south
of Denver , parallel the South Park
road through Plntto canon nnd reaching the
Midland tracks , again strike the main Rio
Grande line nt Buena Ylstn. Active prepa
rations are making to build this cut off , but
It Is not rot begun. It is also a Joint Rio
Grando-Mldland enterprise. That it will bo
constructed ut un early data no ono doubts ,
for all the "movements of the companies
named indicate that they are fully alive to
tha importance of the now through line now
so nearly completed. In connection with tbo
rivals of the Union Paolllo , running west
from Ouiuhu , It will give to her merchants
and citizens two transcontinental lines to the
Pacific coast.
A Hitter CrosHlne : Fit-lit.

It is gcnorally'bollavod that the secretary
of the treasury In hu forthcoming report to
congress will uo.voto some considerable at
tention to the question of Immigration.
The abuses nt Castla Garden and the
novor-ccasiug fights and disagreements
among the commissioners of immigration
have become Intolorabln nnd the turning
over of this business to the federal authori
ties bas become an absolute necessity. While
the rcspoctlvo benevolent societies are doing
all the work of guiding nnd counciling the
immigrants the commission pockets the
money. It's cjalm for salaries nlono for the
last two months amounts to over
* in,000 , but not only that , every
Immigrant must contrlbuto his 50 cents
towards this whether ho stays or Is sent
back. Attention is nlso paid to the balance
of tno money ho brings along. All who
coino bring raora or loss of foralgn coin , nnd
this may bo estimated by the average of ono

LAND IIUF011M.
Representative Payson , of Illinois , has for
many years been regarded as the host
authority on matters portainlng to the
public domain of anyone In the lower house
of congress. Ho h hero and says there will
bo some land reform legislation at the approaching
preaching session. He thinks tha entry
right of fcttlcrs should bo con lined to 100
acres under the homestead law nnd that
actual settlers should have a title at the end
of llvo years. Juago Pn.vson is very positive
that there will bo n lot of railroad lands for
feited. When n lccd what he thought about
the proposed national election law ho said :
"I think something will bo done which
will insure protection to every citizen of
the United States by the national arm to
speak and vote in the federal elections in tliu
south ns ho might lawfully speak and vote In
the central states. "
JudgoPuyson Is not satisfied with the
operations of the civil service law nnd be
lieves there should be some radical changes.
Ho thinks the railway mail service under the
Arthur administration was the beat civil ser
vice in the world and that it was u great mistake -
take to extend the civil service law to In
clude the railway mull service. Ilu thinks
n man employed in the railway iiostolllccs
should bo braluy , honest and energetic , and
that It is almost Impossible to sccuro all of
these abilities under the present laws. There
U too much sentiment and too little business
iu it , and , if carried on as at present , will
amount to nothing less than a civil pension
list , ho says.
BABOEH1NO nUSSRV.
To-dav's Post publishes u very raw com
munication on General Bussov , assistant
secretary of the Interior , which is inclined
to further excite feeling ngatnst that oflleer
in connection with the Tanner Incident.
The article asks whether It Is true that
General Hussoy was formerly n democrat ,
and that while in business in Now Orleans
ho wns hand and glove with the democratic
managers there and mudo many democratic
speeches ; whether ho received u cash pay
ment for each speech mudo during tha late
presidential campaign in behalf of President
Harrison , nnd whether ho entered Into col
lusion with the civil icrvlco commission
to eecuro the certification of Prof.
Grlmostcad , of Iowa , so the latter could
sccuro an appointment. The communication
closes with a very sarcastlo reference to
Bussoy's military record , In which It Is In
quired whether Bussoyor Noble had the
rank In the sumo regiment during the late
war.
war.Tho Post sent a reporter last night to General -
oral Bussoy's rosldenco to interview him on
the communication before It was put In type.
Tha assistant treasurer of the Interior Indig
nantly refused to talk on the subject. Col
onel W. W. Dudley , of the national repub
lican commlttco , was nlso questioned by tlio
reporter in roforcnco to tha charge that Bus-
soy was paid for the speeches imulo in the
last campaign , and ho replied that ho did not
intend to retail the secrets of the national
republican committee ; thut "It would hardly
bo proper to say how much , If anything , Gen
eral Bussoy received for his speeches last
fall. "
MIS9 HOLMES MUST OO.
At last the attempts to secure the roraovnl
of Mins Joslo Holmes , of Cincinnati , from n
position In the census ofllco have been suc
cessful , Miss Holmes , it will bo remem
bered , was tbo confidential clerk of Cashier
Harper in the wrecked Fidelity bank which
became so notorious a year ngo , and it was
shown that she was cognizant of the frauds
perpetrated by Harper before they bccamo
known and that at the direction of Harper
she mudo certain falsa entries In the books
of the bank. She was such an oRlclcnt clerk
in the census ofllco that shu won a promotion
shortly after entering upon nor ofllclal du
ties. When Secretary Noble learned of her
connection with the Fidelity bank ho called
upon the United btntos district attorney at
Cincinnati to corroborate the report and
Miss Holmes' resignation was demanded.

It will be remembered that collectors for
the various democratic state associations in
Washington went through tha departments
during the campaign of 1SSO and openly
solicited contributions to political funds ,
The government printing ofllco was BO
closely solicited thut women and children
were urged to glvo as llttlo as 10 cents each.
There were rooms in the treasury depart
ment where books were kept nnd accounts
opened with democratic employes. Com
plaints wcro made to the civil service com
mission , but they did no good.
Just now a great nolso Is bolng made In
the democratic organs over snmo circulars
which have been issued by the Virginia re
publican league lu this city , directed to re
publican oftlcials in the department asking
for voluntary contributions to assist General
Mabono In his campaign In the Old Domin

agalrst tlio republicans before tbo civil scr-
vlco commission and are demanding that
tboso who liava responded to the request
shall bo removed frpm the federal servico.

that tha silver question is Increasing in Im

Under tlio present silver coinage the tom\-

MORC1AX AND MASUHllSON.
To-day's Post has nn extended mention of
the cull upon Indian Commissioner Morgan
in roforcnco to Nebraska appointments ,
which was noted In n Ben special , published
yesterday morning. *
The Post's account Is moro bellicose than
necessary , but it Is Interesting. In the
course of its observations It says :
'Tlio commissioner was tillable , but there
was no Indication that ho Intended to ap
point the senator's constituents. As ith cx-
CMEO for the dclny.-tho commissioner an
nounced that ho was not In any hurry to remove -
move democrats who were performing their
work satisfactorily merely to lind places for
ropublloins. This caused Senator Mundor-
son to warm u and ho said sarcastically :
"I nin in favor of that system If It Is ap
plied nil around. No ono had any objections
to Oborly us coinmlsslonnr , and If .you nro
not coing to remove any democrats lam in
favor of calling Oberly baoU and putting
him in ns commissioner. Tha president had
to remove Objrly to mnko n place for you ,
nnd I nin putting my man on juat tbo snmo
footing us yourself when you were n candi
date for Indian commissioner. "
Commissioner Morgan did notngroo with
the logtoof the senator , but asked him if ho
( Mundorsnn ) Intended to vote for his ( Mor
gan's ) con Urination when it uumo before the
senate this winter. The" senator replied that
It would depend upon whether or not the
commissioner discovered in the meanwlillo
thut It was the republican party that
carried the olvctlou last. full. In
the subsequent conversation It was
disclosed that Senator Plumb , on tha
occasion of his hist visit here , had privately
notified the commissioner that ha would oppose -
pose his confirmation wbon congress con
vened.

Ycstordny morning the Paxton hotel ou1o
nnd court were crowded with expectant citi
zens ready to luvloli their hospitality upon
the Pnn-Amorlcan visitors , when ntO o'clock' '
tbo first of the delegates appeared and were
warmly greeted. The other distinguished
guests tlodcandod from their rooms nt In
tervals nnd It wns not until twenty minutes
past 10 o'clock that all had broakfastnd and
were ready to start for the drlvo around the
city.
city.Mayor
Mayor Brontch and the members of the
reception commlttco had been nt work nnd
had everything In readiness. Major.Wheolor
mounted n chair In the rotunda nnd an
nounced that cnrrlaijps for the delegates nnd
members of the reception committee wcro In
waiting nt thu east entrance of the hotel.
Thu vehicles , for the guests , under the
direction of Commltti-oman Stonheiison ,
were brought up ono ut n. time , nnd wcro
soon lllled , extra room bolng provided on the
well known pair ot I'lilly-ho conches. Word
wns passed along the line nnd tha line of car
riages started , little attention being paid to
order , ns the llrst drlvo wns u short ono , the
objective polntibclng.lho smelting work ? .
Arriving at the plant , ttio party loft the
curruiges , und fonrjlng into groups , were
tnkcn through the various departments of
thu great establishment under the direction
of Mr. Guy C. Barton , Captain Uustln , Mi- .
1C. C. Barton nnd several omuloyos , who ex
plained the methods of operating thu works.
The first visit wns to the ere yardn , where
the raw material was dumped from iho cars
Itlco so much ordinary sand , and , In fact ,
there I ? llttlo to distinguish the cnulo ma
terial , nt least to the untrained aye , from
tlio ilroduct of any common sandbank.
The party followed u load of the r.iw ma
terial to the second floor of the smelting
shed nnd saw it mixed with corlnln proportions
tions of coke , slag and common gravel , In
terspersed with an occasional empty
tnnuto can , and shoveled into the great fur
naces.
Descending to the first floor , the workmen
were found encaged In drawing the
products of the llrst Biiielting process
from the furnaces. Tlio products
nssumcd two forms. In iho inoltlm. , the
precious metals were separated from the
dross , nnd were drawn oil at the bottom of
tha furimco and molded into bullion blocks
of the mixed metal about two foot Iu length ,
nnd six Inches wldo and thick.
The dross , or slag , as It is now termed ,
pours out of the upper part of the furmico ,
ubovo the precious stuff lu ono stream of
ilro.
ilro.This
This Is received in cone shaped kettles , seton
on wheels , nnd , after cooling , Is drawn out
mid dumped on the river bank. When the
kettle is emptied tlio bottom part of the cour
tents Is found to bo of a darker and harder
quality than.tho upper part. This is caused
bv the pressure of copper ere In a eonaidor-
uble quantity. The darker part is therefore
knocked off and separated from the slag und
shipped by the company to oiistcra
copper mills. The slag , remaining after the
copper has been removed , Is broken up ami
ngaln passed through the furnace , being used
this time , simply , ns n part of the nlloy re
quired In smelting the crude ore.
The party was then conducted to the rcfln-
lug department whore , In mammoth blast
furnaces , the heat from which was almost
unendurable , the bullion is put through two
moro processes , the first extracting the zlno
from the silver und the second separating the
silver from thu gold ,
These two prceions metals nro then sub
mitted to a special refining process and are
then moulded into gold and silver bricks.
"Now , gentleman , stop this way-
said Mr. Barton , after the pror
cesses described had been witnessed
by the party , "and I'll show the results of a
day's work. "
The visitors accepted the invitation and
crowded into a small room In a corner of the/ /
refinery in which the silver bricks were
piled lilto so much cordweod.
The silver bricks , us they come from the
refinery , are about ns largo as granlto pav
ing blocks. Each is worth about 11,100.
They were piled higher limn a man's head.
A small pllu of silver bricks in the center of
the room wns capped by two gold bnoks.
about one-half the size of an ordinary paving
brick.
"I could just put ono of thorn in each of
my overcoat pockets to add to uiy collection
of souvenirs , " laughingly remarked n news
paper representative In the delegation.
"In which cnso your souvenir collection
would hnvo an enhanced cash value of just
$12,000 , " remarked Mr. Barton.
"What will you take for the contents of
the rooml" asked a member of the reception
committee.
Mr. Barton didn't know exactly , but an expert -
port employed at the works Informed the
curious cominittccmun thut "tho hull lot la
worth nt least $2,000,000. "
The commlttceman dlilu't buy.
At 12 o'clock the parly lolt the smelting
works and drove m > Furnam to Sixteenth

The programme culled for a flftoon-mlnuta

tended to nearly nn hour , in compliance with
tbo request of the delegates. Mr , Llnlngcp
und members of his family welcomed the )
