American Notes and Queries.
Rocking stones are common in all gla-
ciated regions-so common, in fact, that
list of them could be expanded to an
almost interninable length. There are
ordinary examples oil over the New Eng
land states, only few, however, deserving
even casual notice. Balanced Rock in
the Garden of the Gods, Col, may posi-
bly, hRvo been unloaded by glacier.
Tie manner of formation or deposition OF
rocking stones ia simple. a glscisr usu-
ally carries great number OF powders
along its surface, aside from those which
constitute its lateral moEaines; when, from
any cause, the glacier recedes from its
lowest limit OF extent, it soAtters the5e
powders all along its former path. Now
and then they are fl stranded upon the
rounded parts (roches moutonnees) of the
glaciers bed. In suoh manner that,
while easily moved. thsy are not unbAl-
nnced. Such examples are very common
in the San2re de Oristo range OF the
Rocky Mountains. ] have seen at least
one example where the hould-r was de-
posted on rock which ia n ow the edss

siiver anu Tariff Bills Through


siiver anu Tariff Bills Through
Congress-.
WASHINGTON, April 25.--It seems to be
impossible for the Republicans to leRis-
lats Htraiehtforwardiy and in open ses-
sion. They have arranged their silver
legislation la caucus, and it will go
through with comparatively little discus
sion and practically no amendment in
either house. They are trying to reach
similar agreement &c TO national cleo
ton law in the csucuH committee OF the
Senate and the House, and they propose
trying to solve tine tariff problem in the
same covert way.
The tariff Law of 1890 ia to be enacted,
according to the latest plans of the Re-
publican leaders, inst as the tariff Law
OF 1888 was, without giving either
house an opportunity to discuss, amend
or vote upon the details of the measure
finally passed.
| A conference committee with q ma
| jority OF determined partissns will make
the tariff Just what the most powerful
Influences desire. putting in and taking
out paragraphs aud sections without re-
gard to whether they were ever con-
sidered in either house or not. II the
! DbluOOthsb uppoiuhou oh LILO ouhhotohSs
committee don't like it they can with
draw, as Bayard, Beck and Carlisle did
from the conference committee OF 1883
leaving Randall with the Republicans.
Doubtless this ultimate measure viii
be compromise between the McKinle!
bill, with its extreme rates and 1T
buunties, and the bill which Allison snc
Aldsich are preparing and will have
ready by the time the Mckinley bill
reaches the Senate, as it is pretty certain
TO do.
The Senate bill will be moderat
measure, recognizing the "cnanged con
ditions" Allison speaks of in comparin
the tariff situation now with that in tn
last Congress-, and particularly the in
creasing weight of taxation on the farm
ers and the manufacturers. Allison
looking out for the tax-ridden farmer
and Aldrich for the taI-lnden manu-
fac'urers.
But whatever else happens, it may b
as well to understand at once that McKir
ley's Ohio Wool Growers Associatlo
will keep all it has got in the McKinle
bill, if, indeed, it does not get more, sn
also that the sugar schedule will renal

work on cnineo,eagae waterway,

SSow HILL, April l7.-The original con-
tractor for the improvement on the Ohinco.
league waterway, owing to tae failure OF
his sub-contractor to do the work, has been
Obliged to take charge OF affairs. Progress
In tho work has been slow. AT the south
end there has been only one mile OF terri
tory dredgei. and at depth OF three or
four feet. The dred9e has NOT been APP
piled to tho north end. An excavator has
been constructed there on q railroad track,
running mp and down the present cut, and
Is now ready for operation. About mile
and a-half from the eonth end OF the cut
the work is being done by dsrrcks. About
hundred feet u day are cut In this way,
and dams three to four feet are left be-
tween each days work. The contractors
nave an extension OF time until August lat.
and 1t Is expected, II there is not much
detention, TINT the two feet Of water re.
quired by the original specifications will be
made from bay to bay. Another strike
among the laborers, lasting several days
has occurred, but part payment OF the
money due bycon'ractore quieted them and
they resumed work.
