Argentine Finances.

LONDON, Dec.3. English delegates on the
Argentine committee have arrived at .
unanimous decision, which will be impaired
to the governor Of the Bank of England to-
morrow. They oppose any advances to the
Argentine republic involving preferential
security over existing creditors; advise the
funding Of the coupons of the national and
external bonds of the republic for three
years. during which time the greatest possi-
BILE amount Of the inflated paper currency
must be Withdrawn and burned. This will
give breathing time and prevent the stop

the Indian Question.

WARRINGTON, Dec. 3.-In the senate to-
day Hawley, from the committee on mill.
tary affairs, reported and asked to have
put upon passage joint resolution author
izing the secretary of war to issue arms and
ammunition to tho states Of North and
South Dakota. Manderson moved to in
clude the state Of Nebraska. Voorhees, said
if the proposition were one to issue hum
dred thousand rations of food to starving
Indians it would be more consistent with
Christian civilization. He referred to- the
statement of Gen. Miles in published in
terview that the Indians were driven to re-
volt by starvation, and said it was crime
on the part of the government to stand by
and do nothing except furnish arms to the
whites. The Indians had been suffering for
years in silence. There was blood-guilti-
ness somewhere in connection with it. The
hostilities into which the Indians in the
northwest were being starved would result
not merely in the destruction Of
the lives of many Indians, but
the lives of thousands of American
citizens, and hundreds of American soldiers.
That condition of things had been brought
about by a niggardly, parsimonious or dis
honest policy. he knew not which. The
policy had been pursued to take the lands
of the Indians and not pay enough for them
to keep the Indians from starving when
dispossessed of their homes. Hawley spoke
briefly, saying he had no objection to the
remarks of the senator from Indiana, ex-
cept that they were, perhaps, little exag-
gerated.
Dawes chairman Of the committee on In
dian affairs, very much doubted il short
ness of food was the origin of the trouble,

Rainfall on the Plains.

Professor Frank II. Snow, of the Kan
sas State university, said several years
ago: "But the fact that thousands of
new corners, from ignorance of the eli
mate, have attempted to introduce ordi-
nary agricultural operations upon the so
called plains, and have disastrously failed
in the attempt, has placed an undeserved
stigma upon the good name of Kansas in
many far distant communities, and has
undoubtedly somewhat retarded immi-
grafton during the past few years. 1t is
time for the general recognition of the
fact that, except in exceedingly limited
area where irrigation is possible, the
western third of Kansas is beyond the
limit of successful agriculture"
The severe seasons of drought which
have occurred since the above conserva-
tive statement was written show the
whole truth of the matter to be that the
westward advancing line of settlement
is by no means an isohyetal one, but that
it is merely line representing in way
the overflow of the population of our
eastern states. 1t needs but a slight
acquaintance among the old settlers
in central Kansas to know that they
fear nowadays excessively dry weather
as much as they did twenty-five years
ago. The people who live farther west
are losing faith in the idea of an in
creased rainfall, as is evidenced by the
fact that over two hundred linear miles
of main canals have lately been con-
structed for irrigation purposes nearly
as far east as Kinsley, in the Arkansas
valley of Western Kansas. In the Platte
valley, in Nebraska, large irrigating sys-

By Professor w. L. roster.
The accepted theory about coal forma-
tions is popular fallacy, and those who
think for themselves, instead of adopting
the ideas OF others, without quest on, are
beginning to seriously doubt, not only
thertheory of the origin of coal, but the
sSfferal theory as to the origin of the
earth The idea that coal had its origin
in vegetation is to geology what the
theory that the earth was the center OF
the universe was TO astronomy. Reason
ing from the true origin of the earth
biologists would meet with favor Difficult
ties Our school books teach that coal
was formed from dense, gigantic, rapid
growing vegetation. In order to make
the theory appear reasonable the scleutists;
of that school say that great forest 8
would spring up in night, and then
from some unaccountable cause the
waters by sinking of tie earth would
cover these vegetable denominations,
after which they would be covered by
earth. which accommodating for ages,
would furnish the necessary weight for
pressing the vegetable mold into coal.
As there are about l60 stratas of coal in
the earth 1t would require that many
submersions in each locality in order 10
form these coal stratas. This. invention
is like those of the ancient astronomers
trying to fit the movements of the stars
and planets 10 the theory that the earth
was the center of the universe. II had
been Iuventing n theory l would have
claimed that coal is formed of seaweed
like we now find in the 'Sargasso sea in
the center of the North Atlantic whirl.
That seaweed forms a vast bed of vege-
talke matter, and when the Atlantic fills
u(tfrom drift of the continents and the
{ hfinents sink to I'LL up the holes made
II the burning out of volcanoes that
feaweed will lie un Ter a heavy pressure
of elrth, and il coal is formed in that
way that seaweed will certainly become
n bed OF coal In future geological ages.
But do not believe that coal is thus
formed, but is a part of the earth's
denominations from space, more com
plete explanation OF which will give ipe
my future notes.
