Mr. Donaldson spoke of the plans of tae rai road company a4 published in last evening's TAR. which he thought were against the general ides of the a-sociation. Prosident Frizzell said he had read the art cle in Tur Star which had beenreferred to and he seid that it was at such variance with what Senator Faulkner had told bira that he hardly knew what to think of the matter. r. N. L. King asked: “Can we do anything about the Norfolk ané Western railroad?” This bill is all right.” answered President Frizzell. “From what I heard in the committee room this morning I think the bill is sure to go through all right. “I think we ought to have all the railroads we can get,” added Mr. King, ‘and we ought to help them all we can. New business was then taken up and several matters of minor importance, including an amendment to the constitution, were passed upon. Mr. Holstein, speaking of the question of electric lights and watchmen for the grade crossings, moved that the association take some steps toward procuring the same. ‘The resolution was adopted and the matter was referred to the railroad committee.

The nomination of Mr. Partridge to be mi ster to Venezuela was the first intimation the abite had that Minister Scruggs had vacated his mission to Caracas. Mr. Scruggs returned to the United States recently on leave of ab- sence granted because of ill-health. He is now at his home in Atlanta, Ga. A telegram from Atlanta, Ga., says: Minister Scruggs when asked his reasons for resigning said: “There is no public reason at all for my resignation. It is simply this: Frora the end of my leave to the retirement of Presi- dent Harrison would be no more than a month, and I donot care to go back to Venezuela for short atime.

PRIMEVAL MAN IN URUGUAY. : Interesting Objects Obtained From the An- cient Mounds, The Latin American department of the world’s fair has received the official catalogue | of the Urugupyan exhibit made in 1892 at the | historical exposition in Madrid. The display was limaited in its character toarticies illustrating | the history of Uruguay and its peoples prior to | and immediately subsequeut to the discovery and conquest, but was quite extensive in num- ber. In that republic the articles of ancient human industry have been generaily found in the upper layers of the soil and atno great depth, where they have evidently been acci- dentally buried. They all belong to the present geological period, and must have been wrought by the Indians who were found in the country by the Spaniards, who came at the beginning of the sixteenth century, when they first ascended the Rio de Ia Plata. Those tribes were always at war among themselves, and appear to have occupied distinct localities or village sites, outside of which little of inter- est has been discovered. In these places no objects of metal have been uncarthed, they ap- pearing to have made ure of the different kinds of stone and to have fashioned utensils of clay which was afterward burned. In this way ther made their arms and other usefal articles for their households and the chase. ‘The re- mains of animals which served them for food and carved bones are very rare and are only found in places which have been covered by sand and always correspond to the present faina of the country. Human remains are also sel- dom found in there places, but in small arti- ficial mounds have been discovered bones and articles of native handiwork. are true tumuli, such as are seen at the western end of Lake Merm and in the islands of the River Uruguay. Geologically speaking these tumuli belong to modern times, but still it is possible to distinguish those ante- rior to tho time of the conquest. ‘The mounds of San Luis, in which are no vestiges of animals ‘or objects imported by Europeans, belong to that epoch. For con- venience, the articles shown at the historical exposition in Spain were divided into two groups, those found in the alluvial deposits and those taken from places of sepulture. The ar- ticles of stone from the drift deposits are both those fashioned by clows and by scraping oF polishing, and belong to what is called the neo- lithic period in Uruguay. Alarge number of stone flakes were shown, very sharp, being the knives of that age, and’ others with saw edges.

It is believed that the flow of emigra- | tion, independent of any pecuniary assistance | from the society or otherwise, will continuously inerease in volume and eventually, when a direct line of steam communication . will become the most potent factor in the up- building of Liberia and the civilization of Africa.

They were generally of silex or jasper, and were wrought with great care aud dexterity. More than 9,000 of those have been collected of vari- ous types, varietios and forms, To obtain sui able materials for making these weapons and instruments the primitive man selected and | partially worked a vast number of stones, | samples of which in all degrees of completeness were shown to exhibit the methods of their raft. One of the most common examples is a ind of round stone called a “bola,” which wa: generally attached to a cord and used to throw | in such a manner as to encircle the legs of an animal or to give a blow. In the different known collections more than teu thousand of these have been preserved from the ancient sites. A large number of disks came from the wepartment of Colonia, some of which were evidently used for slings, and the assortment of Stone clibs and axes was a most excellent one, exemplifying all the forms known. ‘There were also a large FUTURE POLICY OF THE SOCIETY.

The President-Elect Talks Matters Over With His Old Premier. Ex-Secretary of State Thomas F. Bayard ar- rived in Lakewood, N. J., last night and was mot at the station by Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Bay- ard will be a guest at the Cleveland cottage for | afew days. He is the only member of Cleve- | land’s former cabinet who has been a visitor at | | Lakewood since the President-elect’s afrival. | | His vinit bas created gossip that he again may | | become a cabinet minister if he does not prefer | j one of the first-class missions, It is known | ' that Mr. Cleveland entertains a high regard for his former Secretary of State and would value _ bis assistance in the Senate if that were posi- le. ‘The New York Press, in speaking of the visit | of Mr. Bayard to the President-elect at Lake- | wood, says: Some of Mr. Cleveland's friends | were surprised that he bad summoned his former | Secretary of State, Thomas F. Bayard, to Lake- wood yesterday and that Mr. Bayard was likely’ to be the Secretary of State in the next cabinet. The Press has igh authority for the state- | ment that Mr. Cleveland practicaily decided to | make this appointment before inviting Mr. Bayard to Lakewood. A reporter last might asked an ardent adho- rent of the President-elect, one who has held confidential relations with him, whether Mr. | Bayard had sought the office. Mr. Cleveland’ friend said: “No, not any more than he did in 1835. but there are excellent reasons why he shonld be made Secretary of State. . “It must be remembered,” continued the President's friend, “that the President-elect looks upon the reformation of the tariff system as the most important work intrusted to him. If the President-ciect ix to have time and op- portunity to carry out his difficult work he and his friends both recognize that tried men must ¢ him of the details and especially of those ign compiications that arise to trouble almost every administration. “One of the arguments pnt forward in favor of Mr. Bayard’s reappointment. to his old post is that the questions now important in foreign affuirs are almost identical with those that came to the front during Mr. Cleveland's former ad- ministration. Mr. Bayard would be prepared to enter upon hia work almost without any neces- sity for the delay inseparable from the choice of a new secretary.” THE LUCK OF A PEARL FISHER.

Twenty-three years ago I was an apprentice on board an English ship trading inthe Poly- nesian Archipelag: pearlers and inter-island traders careless life among the beautiful tropical islands.

Frou the St. Louis Globe Democrat. “The most horrible death of all is that of starving,” observed Oscar Christiansen, who is stopping at the Richelieu. “The most vigor is lent to it by being imprisoned in a cave or mine. Some years ago I was working in @ coal mine near Padua, Ohio. The distance from the mouth down to the first vein,where I wax work- ing, was sixty-three feet. It was an cight-foot vein and had beey well worked, so that many large chambers were made and plenty of space was had to move about in. A miner's life is | rather wearisome and lonely, indeed. You have to labor all day long in darkness, with only a little wick lamp on your cap to break tho in- tense darkness, The life is much too hard for the recompense. Then, ono’s life is always in danger. Great rocks are liable to and do fre- quently fall. Explosive gases and firedamp are generated and the first approach of a light sets them off. The mine is then wrecked and the miners—well, I was once caught in a mine wreck, and in that great vein at Padua. “I was working very quietly, away back from the shaft of the mine, and all alone. My labors were interrupted by a dull, smothered roar that was followed by falling earth, and then I realized that I was peuned in; that the mine was wrecked and that my life was worth very little. The noise soon died away and things were much as they were befo: But a little distance from my position the earth had fallen and blocked the path. I was, at first, overcome with fear. I imagined that I could hear my brains grinding in a tunnel. Then I lost all consciousness. When I awoke ggain I was somewhat more calm and began to move about. Tcrawied along over great banks of earth that had fallen for a distance of fully 100 feet, then I heard groans, and I knew that I was near some injured miner. But here my progress stopped and I had to quit. A few hours later my light burned out, and then my misery was complete, “For sieht days I a {file near that one spot, hoping against for deliverance. It camoevenvually.” I heard the sound of and soon the glimmer of miners’ lamps ‘that is why my hair is gray. that an aged ¢: and gray hair are en- durable, but to to death ina mine is the awfulest and deadliest way to beat out » man’s existence in this world that I can conceive of.” Mexico's Mining Activity.

Made Fresh From the Petals of Flowers That Adorn the Banquet Room. From the San Francisco Chronic’e. A new use for the chrysanthemum has been developed in Paris which opens up a great field of operations in floriculture and _gastronomics, It affords an opportanity for millionaire nurs erymen to combine the truly elegant and esthetic with the more practical phases of their occupation and to make it possible for the society swell who half hides behind his big boutonniere to tury its fading petals toward a saving in his board bills, for we are told that chrysanthemum ealad is the caper just now in the French capital, and it needs only to have the approval of the Prince of Wales to become a howling American success, This iden is by no means a chimerical one, and there is nothing of the butterfly-wing diet about the salnd when onco it has been mad Nor is it an original Parisian discovery. It is Japanese idea, and has been introduced in Paris by a Japanese cook of a family of exceed- ing high degree. Salad made from the petals of the chrysanthemum is not a rarity in Japan. On the contrary, it is almost common, and the fact that there are so many Japanese in San | Francisco makes the idea of utilizing the popular flower as an edible the more easily at- tainable. The first outward evidence of the fact that the idea had reached San Francisco was given by a young gentleman from Nob Hill, who re- cently sauntered into one of the leading resta and wanted to know if he could get a ‘yeanthemum salad made for a party of eight. ‘The restaurateur had beard of the dish during & recent visit to Paris, but he bad not yet in- troduced it here. Not’ to be thought unpre- pared to fill every conceivable order. however, ho offered to prepare the salad, though he could not guarantee its entire success, The customer had no fancy for having the dish on his guests as plays and poteon are tried upon the dog, so the order was changed.

Progress Made in Practical Appliances in 1892, From the Boston Commercial Bulletin. The electrical industry has attained that de- gree of development where radical changes are hardly to be expected; that is, they are not likely to come suddenly. The application of the storage battery to street railway cars would bea revolution in present methods of propul- sion, but though its introduction has been ex. pected for several years it hus not as yet been brought about. No feature has been moro prominent in the electrical field than the sudden growth of inter. urban electric railways, Previously com- paratively little had been done in that direction, Dut such bas been the advance in the past year thut no field for the application of electricity looks more promising than this, It is an im- portant step toward the development of elec- tricity for steam railroad lines. A large num- ber of applications have been filed to be con- ered by the legislatures of the various east- ern states where the population is the denseat to secure charters to build interurban’ electric lines. In Connecticut alone about twenty such applications have been entered. he long-distance transmission of power by electricity received quite un impetus in 1893, showing the grand possibilities in that line, For several years it has been talked of, but not until last year were any extensive plans put into operation. ‘The electrical exhibition. in 1891 at Fraukfort-on-the-Main, Germany, where an electric current was transmitted over 107 miles, gave long-distance power transmission its first great impetus, and American engineers soon put the aystom to practical use in the southwest, especially southern California and Colorado. ‘The most gigantic scheme that has yet come to light is the proposition of the Cataract Con- struction Company of Ni Fails to tran mit current from the latter place to the world fair in Chicago, a distance of about 500 iiles. Electricity in the future will play a very im- portant part in mill work. Its simplicity. reli ability, safety and cleanliness make it specially desirable.

Several days later Mr. Spaulding gave eight little packages to Mrs. Hicker, Mr. Haynes’ sister, with the request that she would hand them to the servants.
