A Troub,esome ouicksana Pocket

CHICAGO, Feb. 2L-An enormous pocket Of
quicksand has made its appeapance in the vicin-
ity of the new water-t tunnel shaft on the lake
front. Curious spectators gathered in great
numbers to-day to watch gangs of workmen
who hurried forward with picks and shovels in
an endeaver TO level the Illinois Central tracks
along the lake shore that were more and moro
depressed after the passage of every train that
clattered by. The temporary building erected
over tho shaft is twisted and warped almost out
of standing shape. and directly over the shaft,
and for ten feet either side the surface of the
ground has sunk several feet. The railroad
tracks of the Illinois Central and several other
companies, which RIM directly by the shaft
on the east, in deplorable condition.
Load after load OF cinders is dumped off and at
once worked under the ties. but every time
train passes down goes the track for several
inches. and additional cinders at once
brought into requisition. The shaft is now
about dozen feet in diameter. Enough dirt.
water and sand has already been taken out OF
the shaft to fill fifty euch holes, but no progress
is being made. and there is no indication OF bot
tom. Up to this evening there is no perceptible
change IN the surface west of the shaft. Should
the sinking process extend far in that direction
several large buildings would probably suffer.

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE.

Odiceholders Will Not Participate In the Meet
ing-The Contest for the Convention.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb 20.-No officeholder who
holds presidential commission is expected to
be present as a member of the national Demo-
cratic committee which meets here tomorrow.
Upwards of ten members of the committee now
hold federal positions of Importance. and until
to-day it was thought that all would appear in
ton has gone out that it would be better for
them not to appear, and all of the government
officers who members of the committee will
doubtless be represented By proxies. A Cabinet
officer, in discussing the matter, to-day. ex-
pressed the opinion that for an official to be
present in the committee, in view of the Presi-
dents well-knowR views on the subject. would
be. TO say the least, 'indelicate.'
The contest between the delegations for the
location of the next Democratic national conven-
tion has apparently narrowed down to Chicago,
ST. Louis and San Francisco The Cincinnati
confident, hope to profit and perhaps win, by
the close rivalry of Chicago, st. Louis and San
Francisco. The New York delegates open
in their professions of favoring. first. New York
city, but with little prospect of winning. and
second, San Francisco. A survey of the situa-
ton from surface Indications seems to place San
Francisco in the lead with St Louis and Chi
cago either second or third. The Chicago and
st. Louis delegations seem TO depend materially
upon each other to defeat San Francisco. while
the old-time rivalry between Chicago and st.
Louis is relied on by the Frisco delegation to
prevent a combination of the members of the
national committee favorable to those cities.

LOTS OF THE QUEER.


Flooding the Country with Counterfeit @5
Silver Certificates.
Washington Special
Chief Graves and other champions of steam
presses in the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing are very much depressed on account of the
discovery within the last few days Of numerous
excellent counterfeits of the S. silver certif-
Gates, which are the pet notes Of the advocate
of stamp presses. This coming on the heels of
hearings before the committee on banking and
currency. at which testimony very unfavorable
to the stamp press was given, will. it is thought
insure an investigation of the entire conduct of
the bureau. IT such investigation is held,
there is little doubt that facts will be revealed
with regard to royalties on presses and patents
and favoritiSm to pressmen for the purpose of
making sentiment for the steam machines,
which will be sufficient TO relieve Mr. Graves AZ
responsibility for the future conduct of the
Office.
the subject is in charge of subcommittee of
the banking and currency committee, composed
of Brumm, of Pennsylvania; Dargan. of South
Carolina, and Landes, of Illinois. Brumm and
Dargan, on Friday. paid quiet and unexpected
visit to the bureau, and made Mr.. Graves ex-
ceedingly uncomfortable by their cross question
ing. There is almost doubt that the COM
mittee will report in favor of an investigation.
Recent discoveries of dangerous counterfeits
have led many bankers voluntarily take up
the matter and urge that some steps be taken to
improve upon tho miserable rags that are now
being sent out from the bureau money. The
truth is that the money is nearly all so bad that
a counterfeit can scarcely look worse, and bank
ers have to great extent, almost ceased trying
to detect counterfeltS.
committee of the pressmen went, the other
day, to one of the most prominent banks of this
city and laid before the officers mum Der of the
steam printed notes. The president and cashier
of the bank for some time insisted that the COM
mittee was deceiving them. and that the genu
inc notes, almost fresh from tho steam press,
were really counterfeits.

which is generally protracted for two or three
days and nights. and which frequently ends in
bloodshed, if not murder Within the past
year one of their number was shot down by a
companion. who remained in the town most of
the night, but finally escaped. Only a few
months ago a general row resulted at one
of their carousas, in which clubs.

barded with stones and fired upon. Such
