It is understood that his agents are threatening to seize the arms of the New York and Bermudex company's employees, which movement the Scorpion is to prevent if she can reach the point of trouble id time. State department officials regret that the Castro element is not meeting the advances of the United States in what they consider a reasonable and conciliatory spirit, but is showing a disposition to resent the department's request that no arbitrary, action be taken respecting the asphalt concessions uutii the incumbents hare had an opportunity to assert their legal rights in the matter. The outlook, therefore, is regarded as not promising for a speedy settlement, and the case will require to be handled with great.delicacy in order to avoid-an open rupture.

It probably wyi take the Scorpion three days to make the run from La Guayra to Guanoco. The coaling facilities at La Guayra are poor, and if her blinkers are not already -tilled she will stop at Port of Spain, Trinidad, where the coaling may be accomplished in a few hours, before ~stllTttng up the river.

Orange, Queene, Rensselaer, Richmond, Suffolk and Kings. The bill also '-abolishes the fees of the comptroller of New York city, approximating $17,000 a year, and in all other counties not mentioned above compels the county treasurer to act as appraiser without e$- tra expense other than the fee he now has. In Erie, New York ajud Kings, where there are now appraisers, they remain as now, five in New York, two in Kings aud one in Erie. In New York the appraisers receive $4,000, in Kings $3,000 in Erie, $2,500, in Albany, Westchester, Queens and Suffolk each $1,600 and in the other counties $1,000, except Richmond, where only $230 is allowed.

The device comprises a fuanel shaped ,83% feet In diameter at the lopJUS.lO feet at the bottom und containing op Its surface 1,788 mirrors. This reflector Is set on two llxecl supports in such manner that It may follow the movement of the sun-und is kept In focus by clockwork. Th» Adjustment of the mirrors is sjich that the sun's rays are concentrated on a boiler tubular jfi form 13% feet in length, with a capacity of J00 gallons of water and eight feet additional for steam apace. The concentration of iigl»t anif iie*i Is capable of raising the temperature to several thousand der-rfe«, but the boll'r Is prevented from belnf auperbeated by the water within It which fo brought to 330 or 400 degrees. The engliiS Is fed and the aupply of water in the bollef if maintained automatically, and the attention necessary to operate the machine is to adjust the mirror to focus und set in operation in the morulwg. This motor Is pumping from a large underground tank at the rate of 1,400 gallops a minute.The solar motor is expected to operate at all seasons of tbe'yaar and In all climes, the only condition necessary Jj.p- Ing sunshine. 111 experiments made at Denver last year the best results were obtained when the C.opd from which the water was taken was fioeep over. A number of men. manngers of Irrigation enterprises and others from different parts of the jvest, have come to Los Angeles to study the .deyjpe.
