The Keg of Gold.

ENffNNcfkfttt
In December last $500 in gold coin
was shipped from New York by the Ameri-
can Express Company by way of the
Pacific Mail Steamship COmpany's line to
Aspinwall. thence to Panama, and to its
finals destination, San Francisco. The
gold was packed i'm two kegs, and was
receipted for by the officers of the steamer,
and upon its arrival in Aspinwall by
the officers of the Panama Railroad Com
pany, and deposited in the vaults OF the
iast-named company. The money was
stolen from the vault in a mOstmysteriOus
manner. Captain Dickman, of Warner
and Merritt's fruit steamer Foley, which
has arrived in this city from Aspinwall,
brought to the authorities curious docu-
ment from four American citizens who
have been thrown into the prison OF
ChiFiqui upon suspicion of having been
engaged i'm the robbery. The prisoners
are b. :. Lewis, c. ii. Burns, L. u. scott;
and Alexander Stewart. Scott and
Lewis left Panama the day following
the robbery by train for Aspinwall, as
they claim, to attend to a matter OF
business. At Aspinwall they met Stew
art. who is Sthe proprietor of the hotel
at Barranquill. and who was on his way
from New York. The three men were
breakfasting at the International Hotel
when they were arrested. They were
conveyed to Panama and imprisoned in
sepafate cells in a filthy jail. On the
night after the arrest of Lewis and Scott
2 train was dispatched to Emperador for
the DurDOse of seizing a valise left at Mr..
q NJ Rurns' residence by them. The va
Iise did not contain the missing gold, but
the authorities took the papers and books,
together with the yalise and wearing ap-
parel il contained. Burns, who IS con-
nected with the Panama Canal Company,
was subsequently arrested. These men
protested that they had then been IN pfls-
on fourteen days and had not been accord
ed a hearing.

Seeing by Electricity.

bteWtH9tOW kL/tb.J -HOfUfNy star.
1t begins to look now as though in a few
years we shall do everything by cleo
tricity. The recent advance in theknowl-
edge of this subtle force-we mean the
knowledge of its applicability-is really
wonderful. Already we are doing things
by aid of electricity that would have been
considered impossible only decade ago.
But II the promise of present inYestiga-
tiOn is realized it seems not at all unlikely
that all our wonders of to-day will sink
into insignificance by the side of what an
pears within. reach of a few more wears
OF experiment. Transmitting the human
voice by electricity seems miracle
enough for one age to realize and deyelOp
into commercial value of great impor-
tance, but it sounds tame enough beside
the possibility, already eXperimentallv
demonstrated, of transmitting visual inn
pressions at any distance by the same
agency. Yet the entire feasibility of con-
veying vibrations of light by means of
electricity is now proved beyond doubt,
In other words, it is now not only posi-
bic to speak with your distant friend, but
you can at the same time see him and he
can also see you, though separated by
hundreds of miles. The name of the in
strument which will enable us to do this
is the electrOscope. 1t is the very latest
scientific discovery, and is to be credited
to the genius of DIR Gnidrah, of Mel
bourne, Victoria. An entirely satisfactory
test Of the instrument was recently made
at Melbourne in the presence of about
forty scientific and public men. Sitting
in dark room they saw projected on a
large disk of white FURNISHED metal the
race course at Pennington, some miles
distant, with its crowds of active beings.
Each minute detail stood out with marvel
GUS fidelity to the original, and as they
looked at the wonderful moving picture
through binOcular glasses it was difficult
to realize that they were not actually gaz-
ing on the course itself. The possibilities
of this discovery are regarded as almost
illimitable for commercial purposes. to
say nothing of the thousands of ways it
can be utilized in the domain of art and
amusement. 1t really makes one doubt
the accuracy Of the opinion that has been
held for ages respecting the romance of
the "See All, Garry All and Cure Alp of
''The Arabian Nights"

LABoR's WAR WITH CAPITAL
A Reduction Accepted in Preference to
Idleness in the Mills.

TRENTON, n. j., March PA few
weeks ago the puddlers- in Cooper, The
witt & Co.'S. rolling mills had to submit
to the alternative of a reduction in wages
strom 81 to So 80 per ton or a temporary
shut down of the mill. The latter alter
native was accepted and 1000 men, the
null mill force, were consequently
thrown out of work. Early this
opened and this gave employment
to between two and three thousand. Yes
terday the Superintendent called the pud-
dlers together once more, and after free
Interchange of views they agreed to ac-
cept compromise and resume work at
So % per ton. The furnaces will be lighted
up Monday, and the whole mill will be
again in operation. On Monday next a
reduction OF 10 per cent. will be made in
the wages of the rolling mill employees at
the Trenton iron works. About one hun
dred and fifty persons are employed in
that department of the works.
CHICAGO, March PA report received
here to-day from Pittsburg, that the diff
ference between the Amalgamated Iron
and Steel Associations and the employers
IN the Fourth district, embracing Illinois,
wisconsin and Missouri, has been adj
Justed on basis of a reduction of 33A per
cent, seems to be without foundation.
II probably grew out of the agreement
between the Joliet Iron and Steel Compa-
ny and its men, which was reported last
night. The manager of the North Chicago
Rolling Mills said that he had heard moth
ing oflt. lie said further, that his COM
pany, even at the reduction, would not
start up the old mill at North Chicago, as
the new mill at South Chicago could sup
ply all the demands.
