Lovisvitte, May 9.—So far as concerns the number of delegates already upon the ground, the opening session of the annual con- vention of the National League of Repub- Kican Clubs, although set for tomorrow night, will take place today. At least two-thirds of the one thousand or more accredited repro- sentatives of the varions state organizations have putin un appearance ahead of the time they were expected, and with the arrival of after noon trains pretty well the entire convention will be in evidence around the different hotels. This promptitude is accepted by the leaders as an indication of the general interest felt in the gathering of the week, as well us of the determination of the rank’ and file to make it defeat, they pi to be up and doing with ail the energy and enthusiasm they can make manifest.

Mr. Coudert related the history of pelagic sealing, and showed thut. sce the adoption of the modus vivendi,the pelagic sealers | had increased their demands. He quoted statements from the counter case of Great Britain which, he argued, virtually confirmed his contention that pelagic sealing was gradually de- creasing the seal species, and he read and commented on the evidence of London furriers, showiug that while the seal catch at the Pribyloff Isiands was chiefly males the seals captured by the pelagic hunters were chiefly females, —— ANOTHER BIG AUSTRALIAN FAILURE.

GUESTS OF THE COLONELS. Many of the national delegates were present as guests thie morning at the opening session of the state convention of the republican league clubs of Kentucky. Mr, J. L. Crawford of Newport was the presiding officer. He emphasized the fac: thut although the re- | publicans of the nation had encountered a tem- | | porary setback yet it would take less than four years of democratic rule to bring about a hange of sentiment and place the republ: party once more on the high road to vietory.

Since the dissolution of the German reichstag the negotiations between Herr Von Bulow, Prussian minister to the Vatican, end Cardinal Rampolia, papal secretary of state, continue. ‘The object of the negotiations on the part of Herr Von Bulow is to arrive at arrangements by which pressure from the Vatican will bee upon the German Catholic bishops to the end of their support for the government in the coming general elections for the reichstag, in other words, to have the bishops, under the directions from the Vatican, use their influence to have the censer (clerical) party nominate and elect candidates who will vote for the army bil ‘The pope some time ago refused to intervene im the policy of the center perty, and the out- come of ths negotiations now under way is ex- tremely problematical. —_———— DEY GOODS CLERKS IN A PANIC.

AN EXPERT SUGGESTED. One Who Will Draft All Laws so That Their Intent Shall Be Plain. Officials of the various departments have at all times been perplexed in dealing with ques- tions which involve the determination of the construction of the statutes to discover exactly what the meaning of the law ia This is especially true of the McKinley tariff bill, and the officials of the ‘Treasury Department often find the most difficult task in making a decirion in customs cases to be to interpret what the republican party intended to effect by the passage of their tariff bill. In most cases the intention of the law is apparent, but the wording of the ph is so am- biguous as to allow of different construction, In speaking of this matter Assistant Secretary Hamlin bas suggested that these difficuities could be avoided by the employment of pert to draft all legislative bills in form and wording after the intention thor had been made apparent. This course is pursued in England, where a sional drafter is appointed whose duty it is to #0 word the various proposed laws that they will legally convey the intention which parliament intends they should.

An announcement of unusual interest has just been received at the Smithsonian Institution from Crimea. It comes from the dittinguished Russian engineer, Melnikoff, whose fame in his profession is alone sufficient to vouch for ite trastworthiness. His letter is the first an- nouncement in this country of an interesting discovery. The Russian government s short time ago undertook to survey a route for acanal be- tween the Black sea and the Sea of Azof. Melnikoff was assigned to this task, and during its performance he discovered the remains of a great ditch of high antiquity, built on marvel- ‘ous proportions by savage hands and near 3,000 yearsold. Among the great engineering won- ders of the worid it is second in age only to the great pyramids of Egypt. CONSTRUCTED IN THE SEVENTH CENTURY B. C. For the most part the course of the great ex- eavation through the Crimean plain has been obliterated by the ravages of time, but it can | be traced for the distance of six miles. Ite dis- | | covery explains many historic remains which | hitherto could not be accounted for. Search has been made in history for some account of | ite building,and the Russian concludes it was | | probably constructed in the seventh century C., by Assande I of Bosphorus, who was ® Powerful raler of those times in that then bar- | rous country. Nothing is said, however. of the purpose which so great a work, requiring such @ vast amount of labor, served. It is also probably referred to by Strobo and Pliny, ancient Roman writers, but in indefinite terms. EXTENSIVE FORTIFICATIONS. ‘The canal excites the interest not 6o much as the marvelous fortifications which lined its banks and protected its terminals at either sea. It was paved the entire I with stones, thi © country where rocks are unknown, and which must have been brought aconsiderable distance, ‘The bottom, before the channel was filled with earth as the years passed by. meas- ured apes) fect, and hed an average jow the surrounding surface of swenty to thirty fost, 1 ne would su; that this water course wes a ronliway for vessels between, tbe two seas, it being a much shorter route for the crafts of old than sailing around the isthmus, but this is not certain, for the savages who built it were not engaged, so faras is known, in commerce. CASTLES AND TOWERS. At either end were strong casties, which are now in ruins, but it can be remembered when, in this century, parts of them were standing. They are built of stone. During the Crimean war, which began in 1854, « part of these stones were carried away to construct hospitals for the soldiers. The massive remains of those castles now measure over 750.000 cubic meters. Along the banks of the canal extending through the pina, masa wall capped with many towers, at hardly « vestige now remains of these. In the center of the canal—which, e: at this me was as straight as an arrow- wasn age fortification of four sides, three of which were protected by the canal. At this point there was also smaller canal, which, situated out- side the larger, afforded additional protection. Xenophon, ‘a famous Athenian who con Aneted the retreat of the 10.000 Greeks, tells in his history of ditches which were dug across the plains by the enemy to impede their march through the hostile territory, and sometimes | water was let into them by night as @ further | hindrance. It may be that this curious feat of | ancient engineering served as a monstrous wall | and moat for protection from enemies. Cer- tainly this was a strategic pomt. ‘ The remains of the old canal can be traced | | on the south side of the modern city of Pere- | kop. which is not far from the Greek city of | Taphras. This last name, which is of ancient origin, signifies in the Greek ianquage a dite! and gives an interesting elue.

The Twenty-Four-Ton Stone for the Crook Monument at Arlington.

Crook, the famous Indian fighter, broke through the floor imme- diately over the fourth pier from the Virginia side with a crash that made all fear the entire thing was going through.

Willing hands were animal and maniy strength and « goodly num- ber of skids, the wagon was hauled from its rut, and during the rest of the trip across the bridge the wheels ran over skids entirely, As soon as the Virginia end of the bridge was twelve additional horses, twenty-four in all, were hitched to the wagon. The breaking in of the Zooring disclosed the fact that the entire underneath portion of the bric ‘Mr. Springman and all the bystanders stated that it was not so much the weight of the wagon as the condition of the timbers that caused : accident. The stoneentered George- town by way of the P street bridge, the ‘M street structure baving been the cause of so much comment in connection with it that it was feared the stone would finally not beal- lowed to pass.
