The address Of Secretary Blaine To the men

The address Of Secretary Blaine to the mem
bers OF the All Americas congress yesterday
was not mass OF perfunctory phrases, as such
efforts are apt to be, but concise, meaty state
msut Of the objects of the gathering 1t pre-
sented drst, as was natural, the astounding
figures showing the aggregate extent Of terri
tory embraced by the countries represented in
the congress. The notion that the independent
states OF the western hemisphere cover an
area more than three times the size of Europe
and comprise almost quarter Of the whole
earth, was calculated to broaden the patriotic
feeling Of all present toward whatever con-
esrnsd their common interests as Americans
The idea that, when natural multiplication and
immigration shall have combined to people
this vast territory a. thickiy as Europe is now
peopled, II will contain billion of inhabitants,
was calculated to inspire the delegates
with . sense of their responsibility
not only to their contemporaries but to posterity,
whose destiny is in some measure dependent
on the conclusions reached at this international
conference. The Secretary's plea for closer
relations, TO be fostered by an increase of
facilities for transportation and trade, and his
expression Of desire on the part Of our people
for the cultivation Of peace and justice as OPP
posed to violence, were eloquently worded and
can have but one effect upon the minds to
which they we're addressed. Il IL not wonder
full that the address was received with such
enthusiasm, and that the social preliminaries
OF the congress we're given happy impulse.

WAsnISeToS, April 2.--Commis-
sioner Tanner of the Pension Bureau,
with the appro, al OF the Secretary of
the Interior, has issued the following
railing: pursuant to the act Of Con-
gress approved March l, 1889. when
ever a pension certificate Of any char
acter, original, increase, restoration,
arrears or otherwise shall have been
issued by this bureau, and the bene-
ficiary mentioned therein is found to
have died before the payment, the
amount due on said certificate to the
date Of said pensioners death, will
be paid to the widow of such pension
or. II there be no widow, then said
amount will DO paid to the minor
child or children of said deceased
pensioner. IL there be neither widow
nor minor children, then the amount
due said deceased pensioner will, in
the discretion OF the Secretary of the
Interior, be paid to the executor OF
administrator Of his estate. Minor
children, as contemplated by this act,

sioner lived"

Among the many valuable inven-
tons of this progressive age, there is
probably no article that insures great
er benefits to those who utilize it,
than does the new tire-proof building
material invented by the Hon. c. G.
Gilman, of Iowa, and known as Pc
rus Earthenware or "Terra- Gotta
Lumber"
1t is made from refuse materials
that are common to almost every To-
cality, and, therefore, can be manu-
featured and sold as cheap as the
cheapest building material.
1t may be sawed and planed into
any shape desired, and will hold nails
or screws as readily as lumber.
1t it an absolute non-conductor OF
heat, cold and sound, aud may be
subjected to extreme degrees of tenn
perature, alternately, without break
ing.
1t is exceedingly light, weighing
less than one-third the weight OF
common brick, and but little more
than dry pine lumber.
Its architectural strength is great,
because homogeneous with the mortar
or cement in which it is laid, effect
lively resisting a pressure of 800
pounds to the square inch.
Its proper use in constructing build
ings removes all necessity for fire
insurance, and, therefore, provides an
actual annuity for the owner.
Suitable factories for the manu-
facture of this valuable material are
being erected at various points on
the Pacific coast, which will soon be
prepared to supply 1t in any quanti-
ties required.-LSmith & Young's

Last Sunday William Clarken,
while hunting in an isolated locality,
ut the head Of Indian creek, about a
mile above Pike City, found a half
sack Of United States mail. The let
tere were lying on the ground, and
had become unsealed by exposure to
the weather, and muny contained
greenbacks and money orders. They
were captured last Fall by a lone
highwaymsn, who stood up the Ne
sada City and Downieville stage near
Niger tent. He had evidently
stopped where they were found two
miles from the scene OF the robbery,
aud had just begun opening them,
when something alarmed him, and
he fled without them. The officers
went in search Immediately after the
crime, but did not go up Indian creek,
