The last addition to the volcanic isle.
of the South Pacific has been recently
surveyed and mapped by Captain Old

part of the ocean floor {, 900 feet deep,
about 80 miles west of Namuks Island.

stances, too small to be noticed by them
selves, but forming significant links in the
chain of evidence pointing to one of the
most remarkable International crimes-if
such it may be termed-that the world has
ever known.
This is the conclusion which the bankers
in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona have
arrived at as resultof their investigation
That band of Mexicans, calling them
selves "a private bank" had been coinlng
United States silver dollars and uttering
the same to the Mexicaus, who gave them
in return for goods purchased on this side
of the border.
Perhaps there is more than one of these
institutions, perhaps half a dozen. Gen
tlemen who are investigating this gigantic
plot, if such 1t proves to be, are of the opin-
ion, deducted from many minor details.
that this wholesale counterfeiting has been
going on for over two years, and that at
least 75, 900 counterfeit United States dollars
have thus been foisted on the citizens of
this country by keen witted Mexicans.
How the dollars are uttered the investi-
gators do not know. 1t is possible that the
"private banks" or Mexican commissioners
of United States money utter coins directly
through their, own employees to people
across the border in the United States. In
the whole of the profit, about

get their coin for less than 81 in conse-

Alleged SwindIe,

Topeka, Kans., January N.-Letters are

Kansas people, under the leadership Of
Senator Hoffman, of Dickinson county,

der the representation that there was
abundance Of rich land to be had for moth
ing. G. @. Romeley, one of the Kansas
coIonists writes that the scheme is q great
swindle and hundreds of people are suffer-
ing. They found on their arrival that the
colony owned only 1000 acres which is sub
iect to overflow twice year, rendering II
unfit for agriculture, and no crop was raised
last year.
He says the colonists have become sci.
fish, morose, many of them hungry and
without clothing. Resident directors ap-
pointed by the founders cannot be displaced
by the colonists, consequently they rule a:

Gigantic System Of Counterfeiting Carried
on In Mexico.
NEW YORK, January 20.-The Evening
Sun publishes sensational article purport-
ing to give the details of the gigantic coun-
terfeiting business said to have been carried
on by certain citizens of Mexico. 1t states
that those individuals have, within the past
two years, coined $5 ,OOO,OOU of our silver
dollars, and after shipping them across the
border disposed of them with profit to
themselves of % cents on each dollar.
The Sun says that during the past few
days rumors to the above effect have been
afloat in Wall street, but have been care
fully confined to few prominent bankers
and financiers, who have taken extraor-
dinary precautions to prevent the reports
from getting beyond their own little
circles.
Within the past few months, or perhaps
longer, il has been noticed by bankers and
old men who have to do with money in the
portions of the United States contiguous to
Mexico that there hass been an unusually
large number of United States silver dollars

This fact has been noticed by bankers in
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
As soon as attention was called to 1t

THE SNOW BLOCKADE.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, January 2O.-The snow
blockade in the West and Northwest is one
of the most complete on record. Not only
has travel become impossible on the west
ern divisions of the Central and Northern
Pacific, but the telegraph companies are
equal sufferers, and every through wire is
down on both these routes.
The only means of telegraphic commune
cation with the Pacific coast now is by the
indirect route of the Southern Pacific, and
the volume of business transacted is neces-
sarily limited.
Washington and Oregon are shut of
from communication with the entire world
with the exception of one little zigzag wire
that still ticks feebly between San Fran
cisco and Portland. The Western Union
repairers are showed up at half dozen
points in the west, and there are little pros
poets of renewed communication until the
railroads have mastered the elements.
The snow blockade on the Central Pa
| cific road is at Emigrant Gap, near the sum
NIT of the Sierras. Last night eight ives
bound trains were showed in and the pros
poets of the road being opened in the mex
forty-eight hours are poor, as the snow
plows cannot work.

American and French Cooking.

A French cook, whose achievement in
cooking vegetables is something note
worthy, says the secret Of all his excellence
lies in two things that are not commonly
known 70 American cooks. The first is in
cooking things long enough. Americans,
lac says. cook their vegetables just about
half long enough Where a cook usually
dcvotcs two hours to the preparation of u
dinner he gives four and where they boil
things half hours lac boils them whole
hours and more The socond secret after
the hearty boiling is in the use of meat
stock to flavor vegetables. This is added
to the Vegetables while they arc still boil
ing, and long enough before they are done
to let the ilnvor Of the stock bc thoroughly
absorbed by the vegetables Andthcrc are
no vegetables. hc finds, that are not more
