MINOR MATTERS.

Senator Chace Refuses to Deny or Affirm the
Rumor as to His Proposed Resignation.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-The published
report that Senator Chace, of Rhode Island,
had declared an intention to resign his seat
in the Senate, next Monday, was shown to
him by an Associated Press reporter this
afternoon. He declined to either affirm or
deny it's truth, saying that he had not re-
signed, but further would not speak. As
he glanced over the lines, his head slowly
shook from side to side in negative fash
ion, and as he came to the words, "the rea-
son assigned for his action is that the
climate of Washington is not suitable for
the Rhode Island man." he broke out with
the single word ''bosh.n A Senator stated
to the reporter that at the caucus yesterday
the contemplated resignation was an
nounced, and the special commit
Platt. was continued with view to filling
the vacancies that will be occasiOned by
Senator Chaces retirement. The reasons
announced In the caucus for the resigna-
tion are said to have been of a business
nature; that he was unable longer TO
neglect his affairs at home. He had intend
ed not to be candidate for reelection, but
for political reasons it is said it was deemed
best for him TO accept a reelection and be
sworn in. The Legislature is still in ses-
sion. and a successor, In case of Mr.. Chace's
resignation, can be elected without delay.
Among persons spoken of as likely to be
candidates for the nomination are Lyman

The Uses Of Asphalt.

Boston Herald
Before meeting of The Society of Arts,
held at the Institute of Technology last
evening. Capt. F. V. Greene. of New York.
read paper on THE Nature and Uses of
Asphalt" He gave a description of the
source of the native product from which
the refined asphalt is obtained. The entire
product comes from a so-called pitch
lake." situated in the island of Trinidad,
80 feet above the sea level and about a
mile from the coast. About 100000 tons of
the native product are taken from the lake
every year. This is freed from vegetable
matter and water by heating to a high
temperature. and the product, the refined
asphalt, is then ready for use. The greatest
portion of this product.is used at present
for paving and roofing, although it is used
to some extent in certain kinds of varnish,
such as the so-called Iron varnish," and
in the composition used in making patent
leather shoes. Captain Greene then made
a comparison of the advantages and dura-
ton of asphalt and other pavings from
observation made on the asphalt now in
use at Washington and abroad.

Secretary Window Makes a Correction.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-Secretary Win
dom's attention was to-day called to
newspaper statement that he was over
ruled in the matter of the Appointment of
Assistant Secretary Batcheller The story
was that he rendered the place to Mr.. Coon.
and that the latter accepted it, and that the
appointment of Mr.. Batcheller was in direct
opposition to his wishes. 1t was further
stated that Mr.. Batcheller. as Platt's man.
would have control of the Treasury patron
age. Mr.. Window said that he did not
usually. notice newspaper criticisms, but
that this talk was so unfair and mlslead-
ing that he did not like to let it 90 unchal-
lenged. As a matter of fact, he said, the
President had specially referred this
appointment to, him, and he had
concentration in appointing Mr.. Batcheller.
1t was true that Mr.. Coon had been consid-
cred in connection with the office. He was
regarded as possessing excellent quallnca-
tions for it by reason of his knowledge and
experience. 1t was never rendered to him,
however, and consequently he had not ac-
cepted it, disappointment of Mr.. Batchel-
Ter was made after careful consideration,
and was in no sense q reflection upon Mr.
Coon. Mr.. Window said it was absurd to
spy that any assistant secretary would
have control of the Treasury appointments.
That was a matter entirely in the hands of
the President and himself, and was not
likely to be relegated to any other official.
The Secretary said that, so far as he knew,
Mr.. Batcheller could not be considered as
any body's man.
