the scene of an extraordinary occurrence on the
9th of May. AS the British man-of-war
Agamemnon steamed into port, the Russian
ship Vladimir Monomach, commanded by Ad-
miral Crown, piped to quarters manned guns,
and made every preparation for immediate
action. 1t is stated that had so much as

THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.
Additional Space Set Apart for the Use of the
Librarian.

WASHINGTON, May 29-Four additional
crypts, making nine in all, have recently been
fitted up beneath the rotunda of the Capitol and
assigned Librarian Spofford for the use of the
congressional library. The crowded condition
of the library has not however, been materially
benefited, for the increase in the amount of
material has much more than kept pace with
the additional room supplied. 1t is probable
that some of the subterranean apartments to be
created by the substitution of architectural for
earth terraces will be utilized for the storage
of books Devices of this kind, while
affording temporary relief, are the
merest makeshfts. The library has more
than twice outgrown its original accommoda-
tions. 1t contains nearly $50 900 bound volumes,
300. 900 pieces of music, nearly 200, 900 pam

WAsHINGToN, May 29.-The Washington Post,
central organ of the Democracy, devotes con-
siderable portion of its editorial space each day
to attacks upon Samuel j. Randall. This policy
on the part of the mouthpiece of the President

during the coming year will be so great as to in

WASHINGTON, May 29-There have been
numerous applications for the post of supern-

serted upon good authority that the Postmaster
general will listen to the demands of business,

This bureau of the department has grown to
such proportions, and is of such vast Importance

The Eureka Con.

The new reduction works Of the Eureka
Con. Company are fast approaching com
pletion. The masonry work in connection
with the new furnace is completed, and
yesterday the dome and smoke-stack were
set and we're being riveted in place. Supt
Robbins confidently believes that he will
be able to the furnacing of ores
on Monday next, and the few side issues
which then remain unfinished can after
wards be completed without any material
interruption to the working of the furnace.
While the new plant will have for a while
but one furnace, yet in other respects it is
extensive and, probably one of the most
complete on the Pacific Coast. Should
the future justify the erection Of additional
furnaces the location Of the present one ID
such that new ones can be readily and
practically added. The company's mine
continues to look well, and several hun
dred tons of ore ia there awaiting an op-
portunity to be received at the new works,
all the bins and available space for ore
there being glutted.

The season Back East.

Speaking of business generally back East,
the New York Sun Of the 4th instant says:
There is not 9 sprout to be seen on the
trees. and the fields are only just beginning
to TURF green. Wheat is unquestionably
damaged, but the reports Of damage seem
to be exaggerated. In none of the States
traversed- Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Penn
sylvania and New York-are the brown
patches on the Winter wheat fields either
very large or very many. Corn fields, on
the other hand, present q pitiable sight.
Most of them are still under water. with
the stalks sticking out like thick reeds in a
swamp. And even on those fields which
have already dried no work of any kind has
begun yet. Farmers seem to be everywhere
complaining of the Spring, saying that
only the warm days of the middle OF April
saved the Winter wheat from total ruin,
and predict a very hot Summer, which,
according to their opinion, will be OF great
help in mending things, provided eholera
does not come with it. They also say
that in many sections of the wheat-grow-
ing regions farmers began to plough
up their Winter wheat, but warm rain
storms stopped their work, and they are
very glad of it now. All through the
Northwest the weather is reported as
highly favorable to seeding, and the war
news and higher prices for grain have in
duced farmers to increase considerably
their acreage Of Spring wheat.

Why IL Can't be Done.

Apropos of the attempt Of q number Of
ball players to catch a ball dropped from
the top of the Washington monument,
and the opinions expressed as TO the ability
OF anyone to accomplish the feat, the
question arises If any of them has an idea
Of the velocity acquired by a ball dropped
from a hight of $50 feet by the time il
strikes the ground.
The experiment. was tried by Paul Hines
Sam Trott, Charlie Snyder, Phil Baker
and others, but none succeeded in hold
ing it.
Now the fact is that a ball 80 dropped
has q velocity of 1877 feet per second when
it strikes the ground. This velocity car
be better comprehended by comparing il
with a batted ball.
The longest hit which the writer has any
knowledge of was made by George Wright
at Indianapolis, when the ball struck
the ground a few inches over 200 yards.
The ball, in this instance, was hit into
the air at an angle of about As degrees
the most favorable angle for a long hit.
without giving the formula, / will state
that, as near as can be calculated, the
angle and the distance being given, the
initial velocity of the ball in this case is
found to be about 100 feet per second.
Allowing the same ball to have been hit
in the same direction, at the same ANGLE
with sufficient force to give it the same
velocity at the starting point that it ac-
quires in falling from the monument top,
it would have gone 544 yards.
Would any of the players like to take
hold of a line hit, Of the same force, at
short field?

Our sympathies An Case of war.

OHE ~ khhRuSAAACD ~ OBoO vi
To the Editor of the New York Sun: In
your editorial of April 80 you ask the
question, But will the sympathy Of the
majority be with England" Now, Mr.,
Editor, I desire to ask, is it possible for
any American to sympathize with England
in her struggle with Russia? England
has always been our most bitter enemy
but her last and most infamous treachery
to America should never be forgiven.
England introduced slavery into the
colonies, and when it became one Of the
peculiar institutions of the United States
she sent her abolition agents here to preach
freedom, and when freedom was pro
claimed by our President she took sides
with the South for the sole purpose Of
destroying the Union, and in our darkest
hour she sent troops TO Canada while the
French army occupied Mexico, so that they
might be ready to assist in crushing Out
the life of the Republic.
These were the dark days Of America;
but we had one powerful but silent friend
who stood ready TO assist us. Russia was
our only friend then, and she showed her
practical friendship by sending her wal
ships quietly into our harbors and an
chored them there. The presence of these
Russian angels had q good effect on COW.
ardly England. and kept her at bay I'M.
til we had set our home in order. England
is and always will be our natural enemy,
and for the wrongs which she has done us
she should never be forgiven.

The further the season advances the
heavier the showers of rain. The n yes.
terday evening was drenching and con-
tinued for over an hour. 1t was accom-
panied by heavy peals OF thunder and
sharp lightning. About 8 O'Clock last
night the wind veered around to the

but soon changed to snow, and by II
O'Clock the ground was covered with the

three inches. Had the wind changed be.
fore the heavy rainstorm mentioned and

rure.a County,s Small Mines.

During the quarter ending Mareh Oh
the small mines Of Eureka county pro-
duced and had worked over li'ooo tons OF
ore, the gross yield or value of which was
about s21o, 900. Most Of the small mines
are worked on a very Limited scale oy
leasers and tributers, and but lew OF them
are worked below a depth Of 100 feet. This
speaks well for the county when one con-
siders the depression which has overtaken
The mining industry of the Coast. Could
a decided interest be awakened in mining
and capital rallied to the assistance OF these
small operators Eureka county would see
better times thar it has ever yet known,
% The number and character OF produc-
ing properties are greater and better than
ever before known.

B. O.

What Is Perhaps the Most vulnera-
BILE Point I'm All the British Em-
pire.
The alarm Of the Inhabitants OF the
pretty and thriving little own OF Victoria,
b. O., which is entirely unprotected against
a raid Of Russian cruisers, is not unreason-
able. Within twelve days steaming dis
lance Of the Russian naval station on the
Asiatic Coast, and lying within range Of
the guns Of a modern war ship maneuvered
on the open waters Of the traits Of Fucs,
the construction Of works for the defense
of Victoria has been entirely neglected by
the British and Canadian Governments.
The approach to the town wharves OF Vic
toria is by a narrow and intricate channel.
which can only be navigated safely by ves-
sells Of moderate tonnage; but as the con-
ter OF the town is little more than q mile
from the outer roads, with good landing
places at several points, the intricacies OF
the harbor channel interpose but q slight
barrier to attacks from q hostile force.
Three miles from Victoria harbor Ia the
harbor Of Esquimault, the only British
naval station on the Pacific Coast Of Amer
lea. Esquimault is one of the safest and
most picturesque harbors in the world,
about three miles in length, with a depth
of water upon which the largest ironclad
ships Of war can safely float, surrounded
by low wooded hills, with q narrow but
deep entrance from Fuca Straits. Esqui-
msult is, after San Francisco, the best
harbor on the west coast of North
America. A large naval craving dock
is we'll advanced toward completion at
the upper end Of the harbor, and o small
dockyard is near the entrance. Yet,
strange to say, this important naval
station has never been fortified. In the
absence of British war ships from the
harbor there is literally nothing to prevent
an ordinary steamer, armed with one
rifed gun, from steaming in and destroy
ing the dockyard buildings, the craving
dock, and the village of Esquimault.
No wonder that the people Of Victoria
are Disguised with the award Of the En-
peror Of Germany, which gave San Juan
and the adjoining islands to the United
States, or that they are alarmed at the
prospect Of a war which may bring an
enemy's ships to their very doors. Nor is
it surprising that they denounce the Gov
ernments OF England and Canada for
their failure to provide the colony with
defensive works, and engineer and artillery
officers to direct the operations Of a volun-
teer garrison.
1t Is now reported that men and guns
are to be sent from Canada by the Canadian
Pacific Railway. They will have to cross
the Gulf of Georgia a few miles above the
American islands, and, if they are without
a naval convoy, Q smart Russian cruiser,
lodging about the American channels,
could start out and intercept them.
