In the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea
curious phenomenon is in progress.
The Kara Bobhaz is an estuary nearly
separate from the main body of the sea
by bank through which there is an in.
let. The evaporation from this gulf is
so great that q current continually sets
in from the Caspian; and as there is no
return current, the water of the gulf be-
comes more and more saliferous, and a
deposit of salt is in course of formation.
In time this gulf will be cut off from the
Caspian, and will then be dried up and
become an extensive salt-bed.

Is Bovcot,ing CriminaI,

SAN FRANCISCO, March S1.-The habeas
corpus case of Thomas Baldwin, arrested
by United States marshal on charge of
having assisted in expelling Chinese from
Nicolaus, Cal, was decided in the United
States circuit to-day. The case was heard
before Judges Sawyer and Sabin. The pc
titioner claimed that the federal authorities
had no Jurisdiction in the matter and the
offense was answerable only to state au-
thorities, Judge Sawyer returned the de-
cision. He SAYS the charge is apparently
founded on section $500, revised statutes
of the United States, which imposes a
heavy penalty on persons engaging in con-
spiracy to deprive any person or persons of
equal protection of the laws. The Judge
adds: IF that section is valid what is pop
ularly known as boycotting is criminal"
The writ was dismissed and the prisoner
remanded. Judge Sabin disSented. The
prisoner was released on his own recogni-
Zance. An appeal will be taken to the
United States supreme court.

SENATORIAL PYROTECHNICs.
Mr.. Logan vigorously Pays His
Compliments TO Mr. Teller.

WASHINGTON, March S1.-The senate
continued the consideration of the army bill.
Mr.. Logan said it would not do for him to
enter the field of sarcasm with Mr.. Teller.
He continued:
said 1 did not see the senator from Colo
RADIO at the parade on Pennsylvania avenue.
He was not there, and what said gave Of
Tense. There are men on the other side who
fought against the Union who would not be
guilty of any such low, mean, despicable in
situations as came from the mouth of the
senator from Colorado. His insinuations are
without foundation. 1 have no aspirations
other than to represent my constituency
honestly and fairly. l ask for nothing.
want nothing. l am not in the way of any
man. Men who have been cabinet officers
are not necessarily 81 atesmen. / know l am
not statesman, and L am sorry there are
some men who do not know so much about
them elves. The senator from Colorado has
attempted to insinuate that i said certain
things in this chamber regarding a certain
gentleman of high character far away from
me. / say once for all made no such allu-
sions. What / said was in reference to SEN
ators and in reference to the backing of SEN
ators by senators. And say further that all
attempts of senators TO create a quarrel be-
tween the gentleman alluded to and myself
will be failure. He and are better friends
than these gentlemen who are trying to make
US enemies. This little play in this little
game is too small a thing for senators to en-
gage in.
Mr. Plumb said his remarks were not in
tended as personal reflection on Mr.. Lo-
gan. Mr.. Vance addressed the senate in
support of his bill to repeal the civil-service
law. The law, he said, was unconstitu-
tional, and by it the president was trying to
serve the Lord with the devil for an active
partner. Mr.. Dolph addressed the senate
in support of the bill tor the admission of
Washington Territory. The anti Chinese
incident should not prejudice the case of the
territory. After an executive session the
senate adjourned.

WORK OF MASKED STRIKERS.
Engines Killed and Machinery Dis
ubIed at AIchison.


AToHIsoN, Kan, March 31.-The work
of the masked strikers at the Missouri Pa.
cific shops and roundhouse last night was
complete, and this morning the company
was helpless. Fifteen engines were dis
abled, but two passenger engines were
spared. The shop machinery was also dis
abled, and unless the missing pieces are re-
turned the loss will be quite heavy. II re-
turned $1,000 will cover it. The Knights
of Labor, however, promise that the miss
ing pieces will be restored. The company
received one freight train to-day, which is
the sum total of the business done. Until
the shops are in shape to run again so that
the disabled engines may be repaired,
traffic ON the road will be almost aban-
doned. The strikers were out in
force all the forenoon, most of them
wearing masks and all armed with
clubs. They dispersed, however, without
making a demonstration. At noon tele-
grams came from ST. Louis ordering the
strikers to go back to work pending arbitra-
ton. The strike was then declared of, and
the local committee sought Supt- Pagan and
asked him if the men should report for
duty. AS the company will have no work
until the shops can be put i'm shape, the an
swer was in the negative. 1t is the pro-
gram of the company at present to re-em-
plOy only enough men to run the shops on
full time and take back none who have
been guilty of overt acts. This, it is feared,
will cause renewed trouble. AT meeting
of citizens held here to-day resolutions
were adopted condemning last nights work
and requesting the company not to employ
any who had participated in it or in OBJ
struction, and calling upon the peace Off
GERS to prosecute such offenders and pledg-
ing their support TO the officers.
