A SAILORS ADVENTURES.
Fighting Natives in Patagonia and Made
Prisoner by an Argentine Man-Of-
From The Ne,o YORK World.

From the Nel0 York World.
PHILADELPHIA, May 15.-Robert B.
jeffrey, first mate of the brig Charles
Purves, which has just arrived here from
Cuba, related strange story of his ad-
ventures to-day. He said:
'In the spring of 1883 l sailed from New
York with Capt. Cullom in the brig Eliza
Thompson for Patagonia TO work some
silver mines which the captain had pre-
Yiously discovered. We reached the shores
of Patagonia safely and ten of Us, includ-
ing the captain, started of to work the
mines. They were found to be full of
silver. After we had been there about a
week band of natives discovered us
one day and attacked us with poisoned
arrows. Every man seized his rifle an d
sent one volley at the savages, which
killed two of their number and put the
others to flight. From that time on there
were scrimmages daily between our men
and the Patagonians. After working the
mines for two months, we started for
Montevideo with 200 tons of silver ore and
300 tons of nitre. The captain disposed
OF his cargo at that place and cleared
81, 700 over all his expenses, including the
cost of the brig: A second expedition to
Patagonia resulted disastrously. In a
fight with the natives two of our men
were killed. Later an Argentine man-Of-
war swooped down on us suddenly and
took us all prisoners. We were taken to
Buen0s Ayres and placed in a fort. Capt.
Cullom received permission to visit the
American Consul, and through him he
fixed matters somehow and we were all
released the next day, which was Jan.
f3 last. The Argentine Government,
however, sold the brig and received $4,000
for her"

BUFFALO, n. Y, May 10.-The Woods

when the wife Of the prisoner confessed
that her husbands grounds for jealousy

fully under his power. While she was
relating the facts in detail, her husband
hung his head with shame. lie claimed
that az the time Of the shooting he had no
convincing proof OF her guilt, but that
the mere suspicion had driven him crazy.

Mrs. Wood is an innocent woman. and
that she Is perjuring herself and swear.

The Legislature and the Constitu-
ripu


Notwithstanding The prevailing hot
weather the General Assembly appears To
be devoting a good Deal Of time to leg'sia-
tive work. 1t ie 20 be regretted, however,
that most Of the work done SO far, az
appears from tao Journal OF the House,
! has been the Introduction aud referring
OF local bills. The vBtious committees are
doubtless doing their best 70 consider and
/ pass on ut least a majority OC the bills
submitted to them, butl is very evident
that hundreds If bills will die with the
session without having been considered
or acted upju by other House.
There have been several warm debates
during thu warm weather, but thanks to the
cooling effects of spring water, lemonade
and buttermilk, none Of the members has
suffered very greatly from heat, 50 FAR as
we have been informed. The General
Assembly has been in session nearly thirty
DAYS, according to the payroll, and u
cannot he charged that the members have
wasted the time. II is true the Senate
has accomplished very little, but under
the system prescribed by the constitution,
which requires all appropriations and
local bills to originate in the House, the
opportunities OF the Senate have been
somewhat restricted. 1t got in about its
tirst solid work on the local option hill,
and it appears to have gone at e with
Vigor
At every session Of the General Assem-
bly, the unwise and expensive restrictions
thrown around Legislation by the conati-
tuition become more and more apparent.
Each biennial session Of the General AS
sembly since the adoption of the present
constitution has averaged over one hun
dred days 1t is safe to say that the sessions
would have been at least one-third shorter
had It not been for the provisions Of the
constitution alluded to, and the biennial
saving 70 the State would have been $780,
coo or $4,000.
It is amatter Of prime Importance that
the work Of amending the constitution in
these respects be hurried up.
our constitution is in the main salts
factory, but there are some provisions in
it which cannot be amended or done away
with too quickly.

Thc Pavement Oucstion.

IL will probably be a considerable time
before 1t will be definitely settled what is
the best material for street payements,
although it seems to be conceded that as
phalt, when properly prepared and laid,
is decidedly the best material for paving
sidewalks, or even streets where the
traffic is very light.
Capt. F. V. Greene, Of the engineer
corps Of the United States army, who
has for several years past had supervision
of the payements of Washington city, is
on tour of inspection, and has examined
the street pavements OF nearly all of the
Leading cities OF the Union. He proposes
to visit the larger cities of Europe next
winter aud summer in order TO examine
the manner of laying asphalt there.
Capt. Greene appears to be rather
preiudiced in favor Of asphalt. though, in
recent interview, ne readily admitted
the imperfeotious in the asphalt pave
ments laid in several cities. The sand
stone pavements ne found in various
places be unhesitatingly cOndemno-
He says that IN no city that he has Wis
tied has he found the people in favor of
stone pavements on residence streets, and
even on business streets where there is
heavy traffic he found many protests
against stone, the merchants claiming
that 1t drives away business on account
of the noise.
The boom in favor OF wooden pavements
seems to have collapsed, and it is doubt
full If any wooden pavements have yet
been laid in this country In such manner
as to give satisfaction. 1t seems that the
best engineers very generally prefer
asphalt or some similar material.
For sidewalks brick continues to be used
nearly everywhere. It is generally the
most convenient material that can be
used for the purpose, aud very often the
cheapest. The kind Of brick ordinarily
used for this purpose, however, makes
the most unsatisfactory of pave
ments, on account OF the vary
ing hardness. which causes the pavements
to wear speedily into holes and leave
knobs which are exceedingly trying on
shoe leather, as well rs on the piety OF
pedestrians. There are several compare,
lively cheap substitutes for asphalt
which make smooth and durable side
walks. They should be more generally in
use than they are.
The pavement question is an important
one, and it should receive more careful
attention and study in the future than il
has received in the past.

The last quarterly report Of the Bureau
OF Statistics Of the Treasury Department
relative 70 imports, exports, etc, does not
| seem TO give much comfort to the high
tariff wooI-growers. 1t shows very plainly
| that in the past low duties have not tend
ed 20 flood the market with foreign wool
to the disadvantage Of American prOduc-
ers, and that high duties have not tended
to check the importation Of foreign wool
The smallest importation OF wool was
under the high tariff of 1880, and the
highest importation was under the eX-
ceedlngly high tariff OF 1850. During the
ten years, from 1s47 TO 1851, wnen the
tariff on wool was low, the average yearly
importation was less than in 1910, and
the high duties OF 1867 failed to diminish
importations.
The annual wool circular Of Monger &
Avery gives the prices OF wool for each
year from 1924 up to date. This list shows
that there has been no positive relation
between the tariff rates and the prices Of
wool even. II is shown that the prices Of
wool have never been lower than they are
to-day under tariff 40 per cent. ad
valorem. Prices held up almost uniformly
during the low tariff and free trade eras.
1t is shown that the prices were generally
higher under low than under a high
tariff.
These statistics do not afford much in
the way OF argument to the advocates of
a high tariff on wool, and IL may be said
that they are not very consoling to those
who want low tariff on wool with a view
to lowering the price Of that commodity.
They have a general tendency, however,
20 weaken the stronghold OF protection
theorists, and strengthen those who favor
just and moderate revenue tariff. Per
haps the present tariff on wool VIII not
be materially reduced for several years,
but the wool protectionists now occupy
an offensive attitude, demanding n CON
siderable increase of the tariff. When
they attempt TO show something besides
general and intangible assertions in ad-
vocsting their cause they will DO at once
handicapped by this report of the Bureau
of Statistics and by the quotations of one
of the leading wool firms of the country.
1t may DO safely asserted that there is no
probability Of the success of their effort
for q higher tariff.
