STRIVING statement Of Facts.
Baltimore Sun.

Ms@s. A. S. A5eu d Co.--The
practical and timely suggestion made
n your editorial Of Thursday on the
Mckinley bill, that Baltimore impor
ters might render a valuable service
to consumers by stating the First cost
Of this or that foreign article at the
nlace Of manufacture, and what y
wonld cost under the Mckinley bill
when it finally reached their hands,
prompts nee to give you some apt illus.
trations drawn from my own business
experience az an importer Of dress
goods and other articles Of foreign
manufacture.
First, take the article Of silk warp
Henrietta cloth, which costs in Brad.
ford. England, so ceuts per yard, and
on which the duty under the present
tariff is about 27a cents per yard
This article now costs the consumer
passing through the hands Of the i'm.
porter and retailer, about 81 Is pei
ward. Should, however, the Mckinley
bill pass, these same goods will be re-
ouired to pay 385 cents per yard duty
and could not be sold 10 the consumer
for less than about $i.40 per yard
almost three times their cost in Brad
ford.
Take again the fashionable dresI
goods composed Of cotton and wool
costing in England say 10 cents pei
ward. Under the existing tariff the,
nay about II cents yard duty, ana
the consumer pays about 37s cent
for them, passing through the tw'
hands as aforesaid. The MoKinl'
bill, however, proposes I'd sqL

A BATTLE WITH A BLACKsNAKE.
A Hoosier Nenrly Strangled by a serpeat
six Feet in Length.

A Hoosfer Nenriy strnugled by a serpeat
Six Feet in Length.
MARTINsvILLE, IND, August lie. M.
Baldwin, an estimable citizen here, was out
fishing a day or SO ago with some friends
from indianapolis. He was walking along
the waters edge, in quest of place to fish,
when he had to pass under the overhanging
boughs of buckeye tree. When just under
these he felt something drop on his shoulder.
Thinking it a dead limb, he passed on
through the tall horse weeds. nor did he
notice that the "dead limb" was real live
blacksnake until it began to tighten its coils
about his arm and swish its tail angrily
about his face and hiss. Dropping his min
now pail and other paraphernaiia, he en-
deavored to throw the reptile of, but with
out success.
1t brought a second coil about his neck,
and he was beginning to gasp for breath be-
fore he thought of heavy claspknife he
had luckily brought with him. With his
disengaged right hand he succeeded in get
ting the knife open and amputated the head
OF his snakeship a few inches back of the
ears. Not moment too soon either, for
the snake had already bitten him three
times on the hand, and Baldwin was getting
groggy. The autopsy held by Baldwin and
his indianapolis friends disclosed the fact
that the snak. stood ieet 4 inches in his
stockings and measured 9 inches around
the waist. The bite OF blacksnake not
being very poisonous, Eben sustained no
further in jury than a severe scare and a
slightly sore hand.

BAGALEY'S OPINION
OF THE PARTIAL REVIVAL OF THE sooin
PENN PROJECT.

He Thihks tho Pennsylvania Compan, iS
Backing the Recent Operations - The
sheriff's sale Did Not Change the Owner-
ship Of the Road.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPAToH.i
BEDFORD SPRINGS, August 1.-The rep
resentative of THE DISPATCH asked Mr'
Ralph Bagaley, of Pittsburg, who win
his family is now quartered at the springs
Hotel, for his opinion as to the recent
movements of engineering corps on the !lne
of the old South Penn Railroad. Mr..
Bagaley said: "Of course, none but those
interested know just what those movements
mean. The may mean the completion OF
approximately our old line to Pittsburg or
far enough westward to form Junction
with the existing Pennsylvania Railroad
system, perhaps in the neighborhooo OF
Mount Pleasant. At one time, while tne
South Penn matters were still hot, the New
York members said that the Pennsyivania
Pailroad people had offered S3OO.OOo per
annum or per cent on S6,o00,0OO for that
portion of the line from Mount Dallas to
Newville, providing it were completed
railroad. My own opinion Is that the
present movements are in the direction OF
completing this portion OF the line. as 1t
would turn the present large coal tonnage
from West Virginia which now periorce
passes over the Huntington and Broad Top
Railroad. down over the Bedford and
Bridgeport to Mt. Dallas, thence over the
new line referred to, and thence over the
Cumberland Valley line all of which are,
of course, in the Pennsylvania Railroad
interest Assuming that this line were
completed, it is then quite reasonable to be-
lieve that at some time in the future the
line might be extended westward to Nc
Keesport or Mt. Pleasant, thus forming
new short line eastward and westward.
Such line would be good thing Tor Bed
ford, as the run from Pittsburg would
hardly exceed 120 miles, and could be made
easily in four hours. The old South Penn
line was only 80 miles"
"What do you interpret the recent
Sheriffs sale to George E. Baer to mean?"
queried the reporter.
Nothing beyond protecting the corpora
tion rom claims or judgments, said Mr..
Bagaley.
"Do you not think that the sale changed
the ownership"
''I do not"

NEW ORLEANS IN DANGER.
Caviug Banks Threatening Destruction 20
Portions of the City.

Caviug Banks Threatening Destruction 10
Portions of the City.
NEW ORLEANS, August 1.-The caving
in of the river banks, in consequence of the
fall of the Mississippi after reaching the
highest point ever known, continues as at
tractive as ever, and is becoming threaten
ing at New Orleans and other points. The
caving is caused by the river during high
water washing out under the banks, which
does not manifest itself, however, until the
water falls. Ugly cavings have
occurred at the foot of Sec
ond street, in this city, endangering
the Illinois Central tracks at the foot Of
Barracks and Hospital, threatening the gar
bage wharf at the Second District levee on
the west bank of the river, carrying away
the pavement on Front street on it and
nearly reaching the dwellings at the foot of
Saraparu, Enghein, Seventh, Eighth and
other streets. Should it continue the dam
age will be very great. So far it seems i'm
possib BILE to stop it. Piles have been driven
in on the banks of the river, but have had
no effect
The bank cracks in sections of about 10
by 80 feet, falls into the river and is carried
away. Serious caving is reported at several
other points on the Mississippi, notably at
Pointe Coupe, where 1t will require the re-
moval of the Church of st. Francis and a
number of houses on new roads, which are
threatened with being swallowed I'D by the
river, and ON the Atchafalaya, where the
caving means to destroy important leyees.

WE MAY GET RAIN SOON.

Yesterdays Weather Three Degrees Cooler
Than That of Thursday.
Yesterdays weather, though very enerva-
ting, was not SO hot as that OF Thursday by
80, but there was vast amount OF humidity
in the atmosphere, which made an ill-tem-
pered person feel ugly enough to whip his
mother. 1t is some comfort to learn from
the Weather Bureau people that Jupiter is
half inclined to send some rain. The fore
casts yesterday were for rain last night, but
at midnight the stars were shining in all
quarters OF the sky observable.
Another week OF aridity will destroy most
of the local corn crop, beyond possibility Of
doubt. That on bottom lands may survive,
but the hills are baked so that even burdock
weeds begin to look sickly. There will be
enough lett for bitters, however. The maxi
mum temperature yesterday was 900.

sehrch for Large Amount of Treasure In a
Ennken Steamer.
SAN FRANCISCO, August LIT was
learned to-day that the schooner, Mary E.
Anderson, which left here a few days ago
Tor Crescent City, really started on treas
ure hunting expedition to secure %. 0O0. 600
that lies at the bottom of the Pacific IN the
wreck of the ill-fated Brother Jonathan,
which was lost many years ago on the coast,
somewhere in the vicinity Of Crescent City.
The expedition has been gotten up by Peter
Zee, well-known capitalist OF this city.
considerable expense was gone into fitting
out the schooner, about 500, 900 having been
laid out. Two divers and complete diving
apparatus were engaged and everything
necessary for the expedition in case the
hopes OF Capitalist Gee are realized. Pro-
visions were put on board enough to provide
for the wants Of the crew OF large ship.
The Brother Jonathan piled between this
port and the North until she was lost, about
IA years ago. She was bound hence from
Victoria, and her commander, Captain
Wolf, and large number of her passengers,
perished with her. It was known that she
had considerable treasure on board, and sew
eral expeditions similar to that of the Mary
Anderson have been made, but the position
OF the wreck was never located.
Gee has made several trips to the scene, all
OF which nave been unsuccessful. He says
now, though, that he has located the ship,
and that he will recover the treasure, which
amounts to about $1,000 900. The treasure
is mostly gold coin and currency, the gold
being packed in iron boxes, and the cur
rency encased in canvas bags covered with
oil skin.

PRICES Dive DEEPER.

If clothing that's worth
much does that, its a wonder.
The generosity % of the
prices ought to rejoice you.
First, they 60 down to "un-
heard-of' prices. Then, a
new crop makes a deeper
plunge. 1t looks as if the
clothing business had taken
to "auctioneer' shop methods.
The prices mayn't be any
lower now than they ought to
be. That depends on what
kind of clothing it is. 1t must,
at any rate, have been mo n
strously high before.
We couldn't pursue such
tactics with our make. It's a
mere matter of a small profit
with US on the cloth, plus the
work put on it. That's the
true basis of a low price. All
clothing that has real value
fixes prices so. We can't hack
and hack at our prices.
If it's for clearingup broken
lots, our prices are lower.

WATCHING THE MONEY MARKETS.

In general the speculative markets show
the influence of anticipated currency ex-
pansion, but reaction would be natural If
outgoes OF gold at the rate OF 81, 00O, 600 in a
week should continue to overbalance ex-
pected purchases Of silver at the rate of A.
300, 900 ounces in month. For sometime
to come the monetary outlook will therefore
be narrowly watched, on account of its
possible influence upon the course of prices.
