How Rockets are Made.

W. R. Hamilton in St. Nicholas.
Rockets are made for three purposes-for
signalling, for decorations or celebrations, or as
proiectiles in war. For signals, the charge
consists of twelve parts of nitre, two Of sui
phur and three of charcoal. The ornamental or
decorative, rocket is the one we see used on the
Fourth Of July. and the composition of which
it Is made comprises 1872 parts Of mealed or
finely pulverized powder, so of nitro, 40 of sui
phur, and 40 of cast iron filings. The main part
Of the rocket Is a case, made by rolling stout
paper, covered on one side with PASTE around
a wooden form, at the same time applying con-
siderable pressure. The end is then ''choked,'
or brought tightly together, with Irvine. The
paper case thus made is next placed in a copper
mould, so that conical copper spindle will
pass up through the choke, and the
composition is then poured in and packed
by blows of mallet on a copper drift
or packing tool made to fit over the spindle
The top of the case is now closed
with a.layer of moist plaster-of-paris one inch
thick, perforated with small hole for the
passage of the fame to the upper part, or
pot" The pct is formed of another paper
cylinder slipped over and pasted to the top of
the case and surmounted by paper cone filed
with tow. The decorations" are placed In the
pot and are scattered through the air when the
aarae, having passed through the aperture of
the plaster, reaches O small charge of mealed
powder placed in the pot. The stick is piece
OF pine wood, tapering, and about nine times
the length OF the rocket. 1t is to guide the
rocket in its flight. The decorations in the pot
may be stars ''serpents," .'marrons," "gold-
rain" and so on. "Marrons" are small paper
shells filed with grained powder and pinned
with quick-macch. ''Serpents" are small cases
about q inch in diameter, in which is a COM
position of three parts nitre, three sulphur,
sixteen mealed powder, 4 charcoal. This COM
position is driven in the case, the top of which

THE RAILROAD CUT RATES.
What the Baltimore and Ohio Officials
Say Upon the Subject.

BALTIMORE, July 6.-The Baltimore and Ohio
has not taken any action in regard to President
ingalls,, of the Big Four, order for a cut of two
cents below the rate Of the Baltimore and Ohio
on freight east from Chicago. A prominent
official of the Baltimore and Ohio said to-day:
Eve expected Ingalls, to take the action he
did. He has been cutting rates right and left
and We were compelled to reduce to II
cents. ingalls, is interested in the
Chesapeake and Ohio road, as well as
in the Big Four, and he will continue
70 send all the grain he can procure to
Newport News, there to be shipped to Europe.
Had not the Baltimore and Ohio taken the
step they did Baltimore merchants would soon
find their large and lucrative grain trade trans
ferred to New York, Philadelphia, and Newport
News"
Vice President Lord, of the Baltimore and
Ohio, to-day said: 1.-The two cents per mile
rate for passengers in clubs of ten or more
has not been permanently withdrawn. 1t
has, however, been suspended until the
subject Of the issuing of such tickets has been
brought up before the trunk line committee
Commissioner Fink has decided that this course
should have been adopted before the tickets
were placed on SALE"

A Rose Jar.
From the Boston Beacon.

From the Boston Beacon.
Now is the time to gather rose leaves for the
pretty jar you had last Christmas. Various
recipes are given for iss preparation, and they
differ but little from each other. The leaves
should be gathered when dry, and put in dish
or jar that has cover in layers with salt be-
tween. Bay salt which comes from Bayonne
or the bay OF 3iscay is recommended, but the
common fine table salt will answer. Whenever
fresh leaves are added fresh layer of salt must
be added ALSO After two or three days mix
with them spices, such as cloves alIspice CHINA
mon, mace, sil rather coarsely ground, an
ounce perhaps of each also an ounce or two of
orris root, broken in small pieces, some bay
leaves, lavender flowers and rosemary, a few
drops of the oil Of rose, and one gill of brandy.
Add more brandy after a time il the mixture
gets too dry. Some moisten with lavender
water, cologne and bergamot, but these es-
sences soon lose their quality and injure the
perfume Of the flowers. Any sweet-scented
leaves or flowers may be added, such as sweet
clover, geranium or orange flowers, but they
should be perfectly dry when added. This
should all be kept covered, stirred occasionally,
and not put in the rose jar for two or three
months. Then the perfume viii be we'll blended
and by opening the jar for q short time
every day the room will be pervaded by de-
hcious odor.

bodies have yet been found in the pile of sand,
but il is thought that several will be found.

KUNZE TELLS THEM NOTHING.
No Visible Progress Made in Locating
the Murderers Of CrOnin.

The Chicago police have failed in their eff
forts to induce Kunze, Dan Coughlin's friend,
to confess that he was one of the ex-detective's
assistants in the murder of DIR. Cronin. Kunze
was arrested, the police say, last Saturday
evening, just after he had been indicted, and
since then he has been in one police station
or another, kept away from everybody and SUBJ
jeeted again and again to a process of pump
ing. The inquisitors were rewarded with
nothing for all this trouble. The German
stoutly insisted that he knew nothing about
the crime, and could prove an alibi. Yesterday
the police decided to give it up aud Chief
Hubbard ordered that he be taken to the Jail.
Captain Schuttler asked for delay, as Kunze
had asked that q certain party, whose name
the captain would not divulge to the reporter,
be sent for. Kunze wanted to see
this man to tell him something, and
what he had failed to give the police-some
real information about the case The chief
granted the delay and the captain promised to
have the man in the Jail in a few hours.
STATES ATTORNEY LoNGENEcKEB NOT UNEASY.
States Attorney Longenecker said yesterday
that he felt no uneasiless at all about Burke.
His extradition was merely question of time,
but he hoped il would not be delayed 90 long
that he could not have him here TO try him
Wltn TIC OtneIe 1ue etdte dttOFuey tQOug0t
there would be an appeal from the court at
Winnipeg, and on that account more deposit
tons had been sent 10 strengthen tire evidence.
Judge Longenecker said there were no new
developments in the case, and If the police had
made any new arrests he had not been informed
of it He had long conference with Detective
Palmer and Father Dorney, who was witness
before the grand jury, but the states attorney
said the clergyman's visit was not in connection
with the Cronin case.
The mysterious Cronin suspect about whom
the police made 90 much ado has been released
after being In close confinement twenty hours.
Notwithstanding the report that he bore
striking resemblance 10 Patrick Cooney, 1.-THE
Fox" it turns out that the ex-prisoner is a
Frenchman named Frank Trambie.
HEARING THE BURKE CASE.
At Winnipeg yesterday, in the Burke case,
the whole time was taken up in the exsmiua-
ton Of Assistant States Attorney Baker Of Chi
csgo. His evidence was principally that of

The Investigation Of the b. and p Rail

The subject of the alleged illegal tracks Of
the Baltimore and Potomac railroad on vir-
ginia and Maryland avenues now before the

is not whether the tracks are benefit or
a detriment to the neighborhood, but simply
whether there have been tracks laid without
authority, and to this point the inquiry has

REPUBLICAN LEADERS
To Hold q Caucus In New York City.
TINS ACTION THE RESULT OF THE RECENT CONFER
ENcE WITH THE PREsIDENT-rHEY wEEE Salts
FLED WITH HIs vIrws AID WILL CONSULT A. 10
PAnrY PoIIcY.

ENcE WITH THE PRrsIDENr-THEY WERE Salts
FLED WITH HIS Views AND WILL CONSULT As 10
fAnrY POLICY.
The caucus Of republican Senators It was
decided should be held, as stated in THE STAR,
will take place in New York city. The exact
date has not as yet been fixed, but it will be as
early as IT is possible to arrange for it and have
those present whose opinions and advice are
desired
For some time there has been great deal Of
talk about Harrison running things in his
own way without consulting with his party
leaders, something as Cleveland did at first
The impression that he had marked out such
policy for himself has been very strong with
members of the party who thought he was not
ready enough TO take their advice as 10 the
matter of appointments. 1t has been much
commented on, and there has been consider
able feeling of doubt and uncertainty on the
part Of some Of the leading Senators and Rep
resentatiyes.
At the conference between the President and
Senators Chandler, Allison, Cullom and Dolph
the day of the Presidents departure for Wood
stock this matter was thoroughly gone over.
The Senators were anxious to know Just where
they were to stand. They told the President
OF the current impression, and urged upon
him the necessity of the party acting as a
party for its own safety and well being. They
thought that no important move should be
made without party consultation and that the
wishes of the leading party men should be
considered in the appointments for their sec
tions
The result Of the talk was that the Senators
discovered that the President agreed with
them on this point, and was DESTROYS as well al
willing to have the advice of the party leaders
Accordingly they decided upon the caucus TO
be held in New York.
The party leaders understand that hereafter
they are to have q little more say as to the
affairs OF the administration and that their
wishes are to be regarded in matters that espe-
cially interest them.

SIR CHARLES Is TIRED.
He Won't Go Near the Parnen Commits.
sion for a While.

LONDON, July 6.-Sir Charles Russell is re-
ported to be MORALLY tired Of the Parnell COM
mission and is said to have expressed an inten-
ton to keep away from its sessions altogether
now that Mr.. Davitt's examination has been
concluded, until the closing speeches are on
Sir Charles has not been very well of late and
he is now in the hands OF DIR. Sir Morell
Mackenzie. When Parnell appears before the
commission again for cross-examination Sir
Charles expects to be on hand, but in the
meantime he will allow his associate counsel to
look after the interests Of the Parnelites before
the commission.
AN AUTHORIZES SUED FOR DAMAGES.
A West End tradesmsn has brought suit for
100000 damages against a young authoress
whose novels are very painstaking studies Of
real life. He imagines that he is the original
Of one OF the characters in her last novel
Largely through this BRIDESMAIDS efforts the
book has been withdrawn from sale.
American visitors in England express sur
prise at the substitution here Of homely Saxon
for the elegant French to which they are ac-
restaurants, and private dinners. The change
here has been slow but sure, and now a "bill
of fare is so called, and is no longer menu"
The dishes are given their good old English
names, and it is no longer considered good
form to eat anything for which Saxon name
cannot be found
CANADIANS DISSATISFIED.
The Canadians here express dissatisfaction
with the easy manner in which the government
has treated Canada's protests on the subject Of
the Behring sea seal fisheries, and the an
nouncement that the government has come to
an amicable agreement with America does not
suit them at all.
There is feeling in Downing street that the
Canadian officials are doing all in their power
to embroil the United States with the home
government, and this Is a source of constant
irritation. Their influence for evil is, however,
very small, and there is not the slightest chance
that England and America will ever 60 to war
over Canadian grievances.
Patriotic Americans will perhaps be glad to
learn that their good-looking countrywoman
the famous whistler. Mrs. shaw. has had an
offer Of marriage from a wealthy English baro-
net. They will possibly be still more rejoiced
to learn that she has refused the offer.
