Coolanddurs- | FiNg expedition against Lower Cali- ble tur summer, fornia continues to reveal startling facts, and a new phase is now put upon the affair. From the evidence furnished by the agents of the Mexican Land and Colonization Company it appears that the president of the company had in view a plan to annex the peninsula to the British empire by pur- suing the same policy that was followed by the East India Company when Great Britain acquired her possessions in Asia, It was designed to colonize Lower fornia and secure concessions from the ican government and then to provoke a trife and foment dissensions. English capital \d interests would then be jeopardized, and the intervention of the mother country was to be invoked. In proof of this the statement of the agents of the com- pany, substantiated by documentary evidence, has been secured, Maj. Scott, manager of the company, assured the filibus- ters that twoEnglish men-of-war would be in the vicinity of Ensenada off the coast when the re- | sees was to be declared. As soon as the dec- aration of independence of the new govern- ment had been | Saeeeaper these war vessels were to enter the harbor and recognize the new nation. 5 Scott also stated that the nucleus of the armory was already in Lower California, stored in a ware house of the English company at Ensenada, Three cases of rifles were shipped to Ensenada, billed to the English company, some time ago. Scott supposed thatafter the republic been established the United States government would join with the Mexi- an government in suppressing the invaders, then Great Britian would be appealed to to protect the interests of her subjects, and would establish a protectorate over the peninsula. ‘This, up to present de- velopments, is as far as Maj. Scott is implicated in the affair. This much may be proved by the correspondence over his own signature. It all goes to show that Maj. Scott was only using the American conspirators, G8 AND_DRAPERY. to $125 per ya. 7 a 1.25 to = Silk and Wool Renaissance per yd. ; former price 83.00, MATTING! MATTING!

NewYork, June 5.—Ihe stock market was very quiet at the opening this morning and first prices were quite irregular as compared with last night's figures, but the changes were in all cases for small fractions only, except in sugar refineries, which was up 1 per cent at 76's.

The activity was all in sugar refineries. Atchis Oregon ‘Transcontinental, Richmond and West Point, Lake Shore and St. Paul, and among the stocks of the regular active list Oregon Trans- continental was most prominent for strength, touching 50, Sugar refineries, after a slight decline, advanced 134, while Tennessee coal rose 13g to 55!g and Colorado coal 1% to 54, ‘The market continued to show the same tone, prosmenralenaadall FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market.

STEALING, FROM UNCLE SAM. Munitions of War Taken From the ‘Washington Barracks, THE ORDNANCE SERGEANT SUSPECTED AND UE- DER ARBEST—TWO BRASS CANNON GOXE—THE MAGAZINE BROKEN OPEX AND MUCH FOWDER ABSTRACTED, There is trouble at the Washington barracks and Sergeant Clishiam, @ trusted pon-commis- sioned officer. is under arrest, charged with ap- Propriating to his own uses a large amount of government property. Lieut. Bennett, who has been acting as ordnance officer, has been ordered to Fort Monroe, and in his absence Capt. Hobbs was es in charge of the government stores at the arsenal, An in- ventory of course had to be taken before the transfers could be made and this had not gone far when it was discovered that two valuable brass howitzers were missing. Suspicion at once fell upon Clishiam, who was acting ordnance sergeant and who was re- sponsible for the safe keeping of ali such pro} y. The howitzers were the most valuabi articles in hia posession. It was his duty to report at once the absence of anything in his charge, but he had made no such report in the case of the howitzers, When their loss was discovered Clishiam could not be found and was away for several days, About three days ago he returned and was placed under arrest, charged with stealing the guns. Being a non- commissioned officer he was not put in the guard house, but was simply placed on bonds, A board of survey was appointed to find out just how much was missing. THE MAGAZINE BROKEN IN. The night after Clishiam’s arrest the rear door of the magazine was broken in and a con- siderable amount of powder and fixed ammunition for small arms was stolen, The magazine faces on the river and was out of sight of the guard. It is not known jnst how the robbery was committed, Who did the deed is alsoa matter of conjecture, but the officers at the arsenal suspect that it was the work of the ordnance sergeant and done to avert suspicion from himself and give the impression that it was all the work of some organized band of thieves, THE ROBBERY REPORTED. ‘This morning Capt, Hobbs reported at police headquarters the larceny from the arsenal of seven barrels of gunpowder, each containing 100 pounds. It is known that more than that is missing. but how much more is unknown and will not be known until the board of survey shall have completed itswork, When that is done Clishiam will be put on trial at once. He isnotinthe guard house now but is still on bonds. in Sergt. Clishiam 1s an old soldier the service a superior to have ordnance sergeant and has kept him posing perfect confidence in his integ- rity. The officers are unable to give any good reason for his downfall. Clishiam has a family livin ¢ in this city. —_—_.____ POLICE PROMOTIONS. Changes on the Force Following the Recent Dismissals.

Some time ago the District. Commissioners were called upon by a Senate resolution to fur- nish the Senate information, first, as to whether they have granted the United States Electric Light Company a permit to dig up lth street from New York avenue to R_ str&t northwest for the purpose of putting in conduits and man-holes, and if so by what authority. Capt. Lusk. who has charge of street lighting, replied to the resolution today, the same being submitted to him for report. In his letter he says the company applied April 10, 1890, for permission to place their overhead wires on the west side of 14th street from New York avenne to Q street northwest under ground and a permit was granted. A ques- tion, he says, was subsequently raised to the effect that none of the overhead wires under _ consideration had ever been used for electric lighting purposes, and an order was issued May 23, 1890, modifying the original permit so as to prevent the latter from authorizing any extension of electric lighting into territory not previously occupied for that purpose. He says further that the authority under which the permit was issued is that conferred by the act approved March 2, 1889 (25 U. 8. Statutes at Large, page 804), MONEY TO FIGHT CATERPILLARS. The District Commissioners today received a letter from the parking commission calling attention to the fact that caterpillars have appeared in great numbers on the trees of the city and asking that an allowance of $300 be made to protect the trees. The Commis- sioners have granted the request and will take the $300 out of the emergency fund. A PROPER ACT OF COURTESY. The Commissioncrs today replied to House Dill 10500, authorizing the Commissioners to grant to the Veteran Volunteer Firemen’s Asso- ciation use of certain property in the city of Washington. The property in question is all that part of lot 11 in square 141 and the buildings thereon. ‘The Commissioners say in their _ reply y that they favored the sale of this property as mentioned in House bili 8493 which was sub- mitted to them for their views, but if the com- mittee should determine against such sale the disposition of the property as contemplated in the bill under consideration would be a very fo act of courtesy to the Veteran Volunteer ‘iremen’s Association.

The Sufferings of the Intergiactal Adam—Was He a Myth? ‘Mr. Elmer R. Beynolds, in his lecture at tne Catholic University yesterday afternoon on the subject of ‘‘Paleocosmic man,” referred to the different schools of opinion founded on recent Giscoveries in prehistoric archeology respect- ing the question of the existence of the human race upon the earth prior to the glacial era. He said that several glacial drift theories have divided the scientific world. According to Agassiz there was a descont of ice from the poles, forming a huge ice cap, which extended from the Arctic and the Antarctic seas to within 40 or 50 degrees of the equator. According to some the massof ice in the northern hemis- phere was a quarter of a mile thick, or, accord- ing to more conservative estimates, about 400 feet on an average. The men ‘who inhabited the circumpolar re- gions fled before ood coe arctic eruption and the tremendous field of ice ploughed up the surface of the ground, upon which their rude implements had been ‘strewn, filling up with the debris the rivers which it met in its march, ‘The second glacial theory, that of Sir J. von, is that the northern hemisphere was de- z so abnormally as to form a continental asin, something like that formed at present by the Sahara desert. This basin was then filled by the adjacent ocean, and icebergs then, as now, were carried toward the tropics by the arctic currents, and these produced the mounds and terraces of gravel and other indications of lacial action. This sea is considered to have een 1,000 feet deep and covered nearly all of Europe. Man, of course, could not have ex- isted under such circumstances, AN INTERGLACIAL EDEX, According to a third theory, broached re- cently by @ well-known anthropologist, man first appeared upon the earth not before but during the last great secular winter, which is variously conjectured to have lasted from teu thousand to one hundred thousand years. The aker objected to this on the ground of its discord with what we would recognize as “the eternal fitness of things.” He appealed to the pathy of his hearers in behalf of this Adam ‘bowed down beneath the icy heel of inter- glacial despotism. Imagine. if you can, that the glaciers are now within three degrees of our old homestead, the Mesapotamian Eden, for such was the case. Imagine this wretched forefather of ours hustling about, waist deep in snow, trying to split kindling wood with a rade stone hatchet, that he might have a cup of hot coffee with which to brace himself up before going out to plow and sow his interglacial oats—wild oats for us to harvest! Imagine also that the thermometer registers 500 degrees be- low zero and the woolly mastodon is frozen as turk as Lot's wife! If your imagination can wear such scientific seveneleague boots as that, you can dimly grasp the situation, for it is a mildly drawn chromo-lithograph of the inter- glacial Eden.” PREGLACIAL REMAINS IN AMERICA. The lecturer spoke of the discoveries of Dr. Charles ©. Abbott of Trenton, the first ob- server of pregiacial remains on this side of the Atlantic. The first ones discovered by him were found projecting from an eroded bank of the Delaware river, and they were subsequently found to be imbedded at intervals throughout the entire mass of the undisturbed riparian terrace forty-five feet in depth. These imple- ments were more or less of uniform size and shape, closely resembling in both respects the drift implements of Europe and Asia. The ob- servations of Dr. Abbott were verified by Prof. Putnam and other eminent archwologists, and confirmed by the similar discoveries in the glacial gravels of Ohio, the terrace gravels of the Mississippi and the glacial mud of the Mis- souri. Altogether, Mr. Reynolds said in closing his lecture, the facts would not warrant one in coming to an absolute conclusion regarding the existence of preglacial man, although ho felt warranted in giving a conservative and pro- visional adhesion to the affirmative side of the question. Mr. Reynolds will lecture next Wednesday on the “Prehistoric Mortuary Remains of Mary- land and Virginia.” ean THE WORLD’S FAIR COMMISSION, Secretary Blaine Directs a Mecting in Chicago on the 26th Instant.

Mr. Dingley immediately to insert the clause in the proposed bill and he supported that with a vigorous specch, Mr. Cannon (Ill) made a speech to the same effect, as did Speaker Reed. while some of the western members opposed it. A vote was fiually taken and the bullion redemption clause was inserted by ayes 45, nays 2% With this amendment the bill, as proposed by Mr. Me- Kinley, was adopted. Quite a number of those ee sent did not vote, and owing to the intense heat a number of others had gone home. It is understood that several members will not abide by the caucus action.
