A WONDERFUL CAVERN.
Hundreds of Feet Long and AboundIne In
Choice Minerals.

CARLISLE, March 16.-A cave of minerals
has been discovered about five and half
miles from Mechanicsburg, and on the farm of
the Hon. H. G. Moser, now worked by Mr..
koller. The cave is ITO feet below the surface
of the ground, and was discovered while quar-
rying for limestone, the opening being found
by the men working in the quarry. The open
ing being reported to Captain Z. E. Brindle
who is interested in geology and chemistry
immediate steps were taken TO investigate it.
They reached a distance of 253 feet from the
entrance. Here they were compelled to stop
on account of a rock, which they were unable
to pass. They could see past the rock as far as
the line of light would allow. and in this cham
Der they saw some of the finest formations they
had ever beheld. They brought out some Of
the specimens, which they had been forced to
break off in order to get through the openings
into the different chambers that led off from
the main passageway. A complete and careful
survey of the locality indicates that for dis
rance of two and one-half miles there is what
might be called complete chain of hills run
ming in the same direction as the passageway of
the cave, and there is no doubt that the opening
at the Lisburn end of the hill and the opening
that the explorers propose working are con-
nected.

THE FATE OF BLAIR'S BILL.
May be Settled by Test Vote in the Senate
To-Day.

WASHINGTON March 16.-An effort will be
made in the Senate tomorrow by Senator
Plumb, in accordance with his notice of last
Wednesday, to displace the Blair educational
bill with his land grant forfeiture bill. The
vote on this proposition will, it is supposed in
dicate the fate of the educational bill If the
motion to supersede it on the calendar by
the forfeiture bill is successful the belief is
that it will not again be heard of at this session
of Congress. If the bill shall be further dis
cussed under the present order. it will not oc-
cupy all the time of the Senate until vote is
reached on Thursday afternoon, to the exclu-
sion of other business. as but one or two more
speeches are to be made on the measure. beside
the summing up by Senator Blair, which is
limited to one hour by the resolution of the
Senate.
The subject of executive sessions will come
up tomorrow for discussion under Mr.. Calls

Attorney for prosecution.

If reports are true, Mr.. Patrick Sheedy, who
is at present sojourning in Chicago, has a
scheme on foot to boom the American Derby

if the Washington Park Club would add at
least $4,000 to this event, SO that it would in
sure the winner of the race $50 0OO it would
induce the turf magnates OF England and
Australia to send their crack 3-year-olds over
to compete for this rich prize and Mr. Sheedy
with commendaOle enterprise, offers to guar
autee the club from any loss by reason of the
increase of added money.
Much as we would wish to see the American
Derby grow in Importance and increase in
interest to racing men of every country, we are
very doubtful If the proposed additions would
be the means of securing foreign entries for
