EXPENSIVE RED TAPE.

Red tape in the Treasury and War
Departments has been carried on to
degree of perfection unsurpassed
in any foreign barnacle's office. Six
years ago dull-wittcd clerk in the
Quartermaster Generals Office made
an error in the percentage in COMPUTE
ing the amount of claim due the
Central Pacific Railway Company
for transportation. This error left
one cent due the Central Pacific
Company. The same error was re-
peated in three separate cases, until
the Government had defrauded the
Central Pacific Company out of the
sum Of three cents through the negli-
gence of the clerk. When this
mistake was discovered all the wheels
of the Government were set to work
to try and correct it. For six years
clerks have been hard at work on
the correction. The Secretary of
War has addressed several letters
upon the subject, and the Secretary
of the Treasury has responded, and
finally to-day the procession of
routine came to the end of the first
stage. The requisition for three
cents was approved, and three war
rants for one cent each were ordered
to be issued. Thus far it has cost
the Government over 81 900 to reach
this point. However, this is not the
end. The warrants must go to the
First Controller, then to the Assis-
tant Secretary of the Treasury for
signatures. They are then to be
transmitted to the Bureau of Adiusts
ment of Railroad Accounts. They
will then be sent to the Company,
which will have to make affidavit
before the nearest Assistant United
States Treasurer that it is the party
to receive the sum.-Chicdgo

Eye Witnesses Of Java's Earthquakes.

BosToS, Dec. 6.-The bark Bessie
Baker, from Manila, May %, via Ba-
tavia, which arrived here to-day. brings
an interesting story of the Java earth
quake She reports that ION August
~, when near Babic Island. bearing
north by west, distant five miles at day
light they noticed a heavy bank rising
from the westward, which continued to
rise until it became observed, the baro-
meter suddenly falling to 29.40 and
again suddenly rising at one jump to
1910. Had everything furled. and had
no sooner let 90 the port anchor than
heavy showers Of sand and ashes began
falling, about noon time. Then 1t be-
came darker than the darkest night,
the wind blowing perfect hurricane
and the sea perfectly smooth. A heavy
rumbling like thunder was heard con-
tinually. the sky was lightened by
flashes of lightning, and strong smell
difficult to breathe. Altogether it foim-
ed one of the widest and most awful
experiences imaginable. The tide was
setting strongly TO the westward through
out the gale ut a rate of fourteen knots.
The sky became clearer at } p. M,
though the ashes continued to fall. On
the 10Th, while passing the Straits OF
Sunda, we saw large number OF dead
bodies, and the water for miles was
covered with trees and ashes, the sea
for 600 miles being field OF lava: Nov
u, lat. 81 deg. ON. north, long. q aeg
28m. west. took ahurricane from NORTH
northeast, with tremendous seas run run
ming, lasting three days, during "n VIII
we had the decks swept ami tiie cnp,h
flooded with water. Every thihS hp'sa
lie from the decks, WITH portio.hs u inc
bnIwarss, was washed away.

Coal discovered in Ohio.

AKRON. o., Dec 6.--After denial OF
the strongest character, Prof. Orion,
State Geologist of Ohio, was forced 10
admit that the recent find of semi-an-
thracite coal in tl;is vicinity was coal in
fact, and not, as he classified it, ALDER
tite or mineral pitch. Concurrent with
his decision came the additional intelli-
gence that new hole has been drilled

depth of 1913 feet, ttse drill having passed
through a vein seven feet IN thickness

mond drill was used and the cores OF
solid coal taken out of il, so that there
can be no mistakes as to the thickness

the winter, fighting for restoration to
the army, He thinks this will be the
last winter in Washington, and that he
will be successful this time. Gen. Slo.
cum will introduce the bin restoring
him in the House tomorrow, where 1t
is expected the bill will pass early in
the session. There is a disposition up
on the part of the Democrats to pass
the bill without any extended discus
sion. The main fight against it will be
made in the Senate, where Senator
Logan will do all he can to defeat the
measure. 1t is not believed that Por.

him back pay is regarded with disfavoi
even by those who are favorable to Por-
ter's reinstatement.

A Gigantic Procession Of Spots Which
Crossed the Suns Disk.

Everybody who watched the sun with
telescope last summer must have
wondered at the great belt of spots ly-
ing across the southern part of the
disk during the last half of July.
Several of the spots and groups were
of extraordinary size, and their ar
rangement was very singular. When
the belt extended completely across the
sun, there was visible at one time al
most every characteristic form that sun
spots present. There was the yawning
black chasm, with sharply defined yet
ragged edges, vast enough to swallow
up the whole earth, with room to
spare, and surrounded by regular
penumbral border as evenly shaded as
an artist could have made it; there was
the double or triple spot, whose black
centers, though widely separated from
one another, were tangled as it were in
one twisted and torn veil of penumbre,
or connected by long, shadowy bands;
there was the monstrous spot of grotes-
que form surrounded by a crowd of
smaller spots of even more fantastic
shape, and enveloped in a broad, ir-
regular penumbra, as blzaree and won
derful as the mighty sun-chasms in
closed in it; there was the great spot,
often of singular outline, accompanied
outside its shadowy borders by one or.
more swarms of minute black specks
pitting the white photosphere in the
most extraordinary fashion; there was
the huge group, visible even to the un
assisted eye, and consisting of half
dozen or more large spots intermingled
with smaller ones whose number
seemed to defy counting, and enyeloped
in an peDumbral cloak of becoming am
pitude; there, near the edges OF the
disk. were the crinking lines and heap
ed-up masses of facula, the mountain
GUS hydrogen flames which marked the
places where the intense solar action
was going on; in short there was pan

spot seemed 10 be passing in a gigantic
procession across the disk. And what
q procession it was. Long enough.
