A Cabinet Conference.

WASHINGTON, Septem ber l3.-Sooreta-
ries Evarts, Sherman and Schurtz and At
torney General Devens held private con-.
ference in Mr.. Sherman's office at the
Treasury Department this afternoon. Tho
officials who were present are retioent as to
the object Of the conference, but say that it
was chiefly for the purpose of discussing
departmental business The greater part Of
the time was devoted to an interchange of
opinion on politics. The success Of tho
Greenback party in Maine was as great
surprise to the officials in Washington as to
the "stalwart" division of tho Republican
party. For several months past certain
shrewd Republicans, having prcsentimcnt
Of the strength Of thu national movement,
have begged Mr. Sherman to keep to him.
self his views on fuanco, and not to parade
constantly before tho people his efforts to
attain resumption Of spooie payments.
This advice has como from tho West chiefly,
where soft money Republicans hoped by
smothering for the time the intentions Of
Secretary Sherman to obtain the votes of
tho Groenback party. An attempt has also
been made toput an end to the civil service
reform prctentions of tho administration for
the purpose Of reconcilng before election

has been secrotly in favor of bestowing
Offices whore tho greatest benefit to tho
party GOULD DO obtained thercfrom, bu.
Secretary Schurtz's influence with tho
President has been too grea. to accomplish
this political desidoratum. At the ooufer..
cncc to day tho principal thomo of discus
sion was what stop oon bo taken by the
administration to promote tho success Of tho
Republican party this fall. 1t was agreed
by the gentemon present that reoont events
have moat amply demonstrated the folly of
hoping to accomplish anything by invoking
past Issues The vindica.on of tho Prcsi..
dent's Southern policy was thought to be
near at hand. The administration will
stand on o hard-monoy basis, and it is
believed that tho President will now render
tho Republican party all the assistance in
his power, oven at tho risk Of marring the
cold beauty Of civil service reform to secure
tho election of as many honest money Con-.
grcssmon as possible Tho general opinion
of the conferoes was that tho greenbaok
movement will bo sbort.lived. Mr. Hayes
will voto all mad initiation schemes, and it is
not believed possible that two thirds vote
can be obtained in tho Senate to pass over
his veto any plan for initiating the currency.

REDUCTION OF FREIa HTS. Tho Green.

Railroads have reduced their freight tariffs
to Anderson in all cases as low as they are
to Grcenville, nnd in some classes of goods
it is little lowor. This is applicable to
freights from eithor Charleston, Columbia

cause of complaint 40 far as the town Of
Anderson is concerned, and places our
merchants ia position to sell goods as
cheap as tho merchants Of Greenville or
any ncighboring town can do, or to pay as
much for cotton or othor produce as othor

The merchants Of Apaerson now oxpoot to

THE REmAINs OF COLUMBUS.

tp& k.h &C., &s W% Y
The United States Consul at San Do,
mingo has transmitted to the Department
uf State an account of The recent discovery
of the bones of Columbus in the Cathedral
in that city. Dying in SPAIN in 1906, the
remains of Columbus were first deposited
In the convent of st. Francis in 1913. They
were transferred to the Carthusian Convent
at Las Cuenas, from whence they were
shipped to San Domingo in 1886, and de-
posted in the Cathedral of that city. In
1876 these remains, as it was then, and up
to the present discovery, believed, were
conveyed in great pomp to the Cathedral
of Havana, where they were supposed to
have reposed ever since. The Consul Of
San Domingo says that while some work
men were digging up the floor around the
pulpit in the cathedral, to make some re-
pairs, they exposed to view a walled ori6ce
containing leaden case two feet long by
about eight inches wide, the inscription on
which bore incontestable evidence that the
contents were the bones of Christopher
Columbus. Immediately on the discovery
being made, the remains were restored to
their original resting place and the recepta-
Gle walled up. On the 10th of September,
in the presence of the Governor and other
Government officials and the various con-
suls, amid the sounds of martial music and
the booming of cannon, the remains were
again exhumed, the box, bones, and in
scription examined, and the facts recorded
and attested to by all the officials and con-
suls present. The lead box containing the
remains was then inclosed in another box,
carefully sealed with the seals of the con-
suls, to be opened only in their presence,
and placed in the custody of Padre BilIini,
in the church of Regina AnGelolTnn, to bo
held by him subject to Investigation by ally
foreign commissions desirous Of satisfying
themselves of the facts, and until a suita-
BILE amount can be raised to erect a fitting
monument over the remains. 1t being sug-
gested that other countries might Ike to
contribute to the erection of this monument
the various consuls were requested to bring
the subject to the attention Of their Re-
spectivc governments, in order to give
them chance to do so. The ancient
records OF the Cathedral in San Domingo
having been long ago destroyed by va4dals,
no facts concerning the supposed removal
of these remains to Havana con be ascer-
tanned in San Domingo, but it is conjec-
tured that the monks palmed off on the
spaniards the remains of somebody else,
retaining to themselves and their Cathedral
the venerated bones of the great navi-
gator. & ....... ..'...... ."

BOBBrNG FOR QUICKSILVER.

A pair of industrious and ingenious Ger
mans have hit upon q novel method of
mining, which is said to be paying them
exceedingly well-just how well, nobody
but themselves appears to know, They are
operating in the bed of the Carson River,
some distance above the town of Dayton
Each man is provided with half-inch rod
about ten feet in length. At the upper end
the rod is so bent as to form loop or eye
large enough to admit the hand, about q
foot in length, shaped like the head of a
soldering iron and weighing some ten
pounds. This head has large octagonal
bulge in the middle, and in each of its eight
faces cavity about an inch in depth, and
nearly three-quarters of an inch in diameter
at the top, forming sort of tapering CUP
the cavity being hardly half an inch in
diameter at the bottom. Thus it will
be seen that in the head of each probe or
'sbob" are eight small cup-like cavities.
In working, the men 60 into the bed OF
the liver where there is now very little
water, and selecting place where the
amalgam and quicksilver would be likely to
lodge. as on the lower sides of boulders and
, at points where there are sharp curves IN
the river, they work their probes down into
the sand. mud or gravel, as the case may
he. and then begin churning AS they
churn, the quicksilver moves toward and
into the hole. and either sticks to the sides
of the "bob" or is caught in the small
cavities we have described. The "bob' is
/, frequently lifted from the hole and cleaned
of the amalgam it has accumulated by
means of small scraper. The cavities are
more for use in catching the quicksilver
that flows in at the sides of the hole when
the Ground is shaken than for collecting
,smalgam.
AS the river is lower than ever before
known, the men are able to work almost
everywhere, wearing gum boots reaching
but half way up their legs. In "bobbing'
tbev often work down half dozen holes
within space little over yard square
This is in places found to be rich. Otter

EaE CRATES or MONTE noTARo.

The walks and drives in Ischia, are al
|(bsautiful, but perhaps the most interesting
|pf the former, not even excepting the
ascent Of Monte Eromeo, is the walk 70
1.-THE extinct crater Of Monte Rotaro.
Through narrow lanes Of the toughest and
most neck-breaking, where the slope is
steep and the stones unstable, you come to
the woods of arbutus in waxen blossoms
and crimson berry, of tree heath, myrtle,
acacia and alianthus, chestnut and oak,
ilex and carouba trse-if in autumn all Of
the most gorgeous ooloring which fringe
the top and clothe the sides Of the crater.
But you pass first by the ''fumeroli,' or
smoke holes, which are always sending out
their thin, fine vapors, like concealed bon
fires, from among the bracken and mint
of the coarse bit of stony common that
comes before you reach the wood
As you stand on the edge of the crater
and look down into the large and deep
bowl, you see lying in the bottom num-
Der of white stones that were once tossed
up from the burning heart beneath.
The crater used to be full also of grave
stones; for here were buried the victims OF
cholera in one of the outbreaks in the
early half Of the present century. But now
the little crosses which were put up as
pious memorials of the quiet dead have
either decayed and fallen, or been taken
away. Here, too, was large and stately
white marble tomb marking the last resting
place of the brother of our favorite hero
who was "buried darkly at the dead OF
night" Sir John Moore. Now the marble
has all been broken and carried away, and
only the stone core is left marking out the
spot. The kind womanly soul who was
our friend and guide to this spot-an
English woman resident on the island
scratched holes and burrows for flower seeds
about the grave; which she left to the
kindly offices of nature to spring up in the
sweet early months of the year, as hel
offering to the names of the dead. 1t was
sad to think of the brave old Englishmar
living here in his unnoted, desecrated grave,
in this desolate and sunless spot, The sur
did certainly gid the edge of one side, but
all within the deep hollow of this WORKOUT
crater was chill and dank, and full o.
painful and depressing associations. Deatt
