the Trial.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March 12.-The
trial Of thirty persons for lynching Hans
Jacob Olsen, on the night of November
q, 1889, is now in progress at Whitehall,
Wis, and is developing a most remarkable

life. His wife and family witnessed the
lynching from the window Of their dwell
ing and made coffee for the party when it
was finished.
Three of the persons implicated have
confessed.
\ jury was secured yesterday and the

MASSACHUSETTS, INSURANCE LII
CATION

BosToN, Mass, March 12.-There was a
large attendance Of insurance men at the
legislative committee hearing today on
the question of allowing insurance compa-
MES to appear from the decisions of the in
surance commissioner. The case involved
s that of the New York Insurance COM
pany. For the remonstrants eX-Speaker
Noyes appeared and said that of the 3,02l
companies from other. states doing bust
ness in that state, the New York Life was
the only one that had withdrawn from the
state and the other companies demonstrated
against the advantage of the petition. The
New YorR's policy, which is in dispute. he
claimed is not what it pretends to be. W.
d. Whiting, IA New York actuary of twenty
years experience, testified that this policy
WAS deceptive i'll that it gave al impression
that it allows right which il does not.
1t is Il documentary misrepresentation
1t is not an ordinary life policy"
w. G. Holden, general agent of the
Washington Insurance company, corrobor-
ated Mr. Whiting.

A Curious Alphabet.

The formation of a species Of record Of
facts and ideas by means of knots tied upon
cords was common among the inhabitants OF
Peru on the discovery of that country by the
Spaniards. These knotted cords, or quipos,
as they were called, seemed 20 have served
instead Of written records, and TO have been
preserved in bundles, like the archives Of
more civilized nations. 4 knowledge Of this
extraordinary kind of tactile literature was
early brought 70 Europe and disseminated
among the learned; yet it is somewhat re-
nlarkable that UP 20 the present time no no
tice has ever been taken OF the quipos with a
view Of drawing an analogy betwlxt them
and the knotted symbolic cords OF the Jews,
which are Of vast antiqaity.-New York

In the Khoiak Tunnel.

An article in the Allahabad Pioneer
gives some interesting particulars con-
cerning the tunnel that has been COM
pleted through the Khojak, on the rail-
road from Quetta to Candahar. The
Khojak pass is $500 feet above the sea.
and about 1000 feet above the level of
the surrounding country. The tunnel
pierces the range at right angles, and
its course is therefore due east and
west, and 1t enters the hill about 1000
feet below the crest Of the pass. The
length of the tunnel is 12,600 feet, or
215 miles approximately, and 1t will
carry double line of rails. For the
first half the floor ascends about in
1000, and for the second half Of
the journey it descends at an Incline Of
in 40. There are two main shafts,
one 31S feet and the other 200 feet deep,
which were sunk in order to facilitate
the construction of the tunnel. The
chief obstacle to progress arose from
the flooding of the tunnel at more than
one point. A large spring was cut and
the water flooded the shaft ON the Can
dahar side to the depth of $50 feet.
1t took ten weeks to pump out the
water, and in the western heading as
much as 500 gallons minute were con-
Stantly rushing out of the west mouth.
In order to overcome this difficulty a
side cutting had to be made. The mag
nitude Of the work is testified to
by the banks of shale and rock at the
mouth of the tunnel and at the pit
heads, which are said to be quite alter
ing the landscape in places. One curl
Gus discovery made during the progress
of the work, as the result of an investi-
cation into the cause of certain mysteri-
Gus explosions, was that it was proved
that combustion had arisen inside a
case of blasting gelatine."

TAKING THE CENSUS.
A Pulpit Lesson Drawn From the
Enumeration.

The announcement that David James
Burrell would preach upon the census
trouble brought an immense crowd of
people to Westminster church last even
Ing, and they were crowded even into
the halls. He took for his text:
And Joab and his captains went out
to number the people: Sam. "a, 4.
He said: "Why was it wrong for
Pehaps because there was no divine au-
thority for it. Or perhaps because in
this enrolment no attention was paid
to the collection of the half-shekel
which should have been paid for
every soul. Or it may have been
because the purpose was to place the
nation on more distinct war-footing, so
that it might compete as frSt-clasS
power with the other peoples. Or, prob
ably, the heart of David was possessed
of an overweening ambition, craving
for universal empire. passion like that
which Consumed Caesar and Alexander.
In any case this numbering of the peO-
pie was wrong, and David and the
whole nation had to suffer for it. For
the evening, however, our lesson lies
nearer home. AS to the census of Min
geapolis two questions are pertinent;
first, how many people have we? and,
second, what kind of people are they?
Any answer to the former question at
this time would be mere guesswork, but
the latter is worth considering.
To begin with, we have an unusual
number of enterprising and public-spir-
tied people. The members of our board
of trade are almost all young mentor
the most part Anglo-SaXons-n for
their broad views of public questions
and for their generosity in contributing
to every good cause. 1t is worthy of re-
mark that they have not hitherto found
it necessary to introduce wine at their
annual banquets. De Foe said of Dover,
SITS river is narrow, its bridge is mar
row, and the minds of its people are
narrowest of ALL" No such observation
has ever been made of Minneapolis.
Again, we have in this city a multi
tude of Christian people-more than we
think. The original name of Mime
apolis is said to have been "All Saints" !"
We are not all saints. in fact. any more
than they are all Pauls in our sister city +;
