Explorations in Old Mexico.

A City of Mexico dispatch says: Leopold Bartres, inspector and con- seryator of arch&ological monuments Of the republic has received letter giving an account of some of the most important extensive ruins which have been discovered by the Rico expedition at Huasteca and Veracu1nna, Canton de Pspanylla, State of Vera Cruz, Tn a mountainous district which appears never to have been explored except by Indians
 The ruins arc located m noun tan-locked country, densely covered with trees and undergrowth. The buildings discovered are from four to live stories in height and show decided evidence of the Crock school of archi. lecture, the cornlces, wIndows and base indicating thIs. Bas relief fig ures osver the sides. There are fires. coes in various eslors which have wlthstood the ravages of the elements and appear as bright as the day they were painted.
 The ruins cover 2 large extent of country and are considered by Ssnor Bartres to be tho most important dis covery of the last decade, if not of tue last century. Numerous idols are sot up in the ancidnt city, and thin slabs of marble, covered with Aztec or Tol- tee hieregiyphies, are set in tbs edi- ices. Senor Bartres is now making arrangements to visit the ruins for the purpose of bringing the inscribed slabs to the national musen;n. He will ieaTe this city Eithln the next fifteen days.

Sweeping Effect of the "0riginaI Package"
 prrssteu

Tie more the decision eff tho Su- preme Court on the original package case is considered, inc more astonish. ing and the more deplorable does it appear. It wa, reached by train of reasoning, which, if applied to the other provisions of the Constitution defining the powers of the National Government, would deprive the States of many of tha powers they have been regarding as tlra best established in law and usage. Lycn the third Green back decision has no such sweeping application for the annihilation of the reserved rights of which Chief Jus tice Fullers party hava been so care. lul. In its immediate bearings 1t not only suSpend5 practically ' the probibi- tory legislation of several States, but may operate very seriously to cripple the restrictive license legislation of others. This at least is the oplnion of the minority of the Court speaking through Justice Gray. The original package in thls case is not merely cask or dem1ohn. A bottle so small as to contain a slngie drink of whisky was brought into use in Name, and no doubt it will be employed else where to defeat State legislation of any kind for the restriction of the traffic. Nor is it so easy as appears on the surface for Congress 10 correct the decision by law. Mr Boutelle, of Maine, las introduced in the House a bill which declares that nothing in the interstate commerce. law shall De construed to authorizs the sale or traffic Tn intoxicating lIquors where this is forbidden by the laws of State. But it is not under the inter state commerce act that the case has been decided It Is under the grant of powers to Congress by tho Consti- tntion; and by what process shsrt Of constitutional amendment shall Con gress divest itself of the power to ad- init intoxcants into every State if it admit them into any? 1t hardly would be practicable 10 prohibit all interstate traffic in intsxicants So the only choice hes between packing the bench to hays tbe decision re- versed as fast as vacancies occur, and amending the Constitution in exactly he direction wbIeh is least in har- mony with the general drift of public opinion. The rrohibitionists have their remedy, which is to have Con gress take up the matter as a National question. and have the Constitution amended Tn favor of prohibition. But this is about as feasible as Mr Georges scheme of land taxation, or Mir Baia- my's "Nationalism, When prohibi- ton can not be established by Constr tutional amendment m ons State ont of elght, how is three-fourths ma lority of lhe States to be obtained ? The Supreme Court has put the coun- try "in a hole N. |. Mai and Ex- press.

Consumption Of Copper.
Engineering and Mining Journal

Engineering and Mining ournal.
 We arc informed that 2,000 tons of Anaconda matte have been sold this week in Liverpool for rssbipment to this country, and at present prices It is possible that further transactions of this nature may take place, though the improvement in the English mar ket during the last few days makes it less likely. It IS proposed that. in Stock Exchange parlance, these 2,000 tons of matte be made up or ex- changed for 2,000 tons belonging to European bankers and lying on this side already, so that both parties will have the matte where they want 1t, and each save the freight across tho Atlantic. If this can be arranged it will almost certainly lead to further transactions in tho sano direction.
 The consumption of copper, both in this country and in Europe, Is increas- ing enormously end at a greater rate than production, SO that tho prospects for high prices for perhaps years to come are so excellent that they should lead 10 large investments in the open ing up of new mines.
 
 Among the more important new demands for copper is that fer cleo trical Iow.tsnslon currents, where of necessity the copper conductors are Of immense size tsuch as we referred to last week. 00,000 tons being said to bs required for Perrin; and the use of copper sulphate for the destruction of tho phyloSera.
 Tho European demand for sulphate many months ago bought up the on tire stock and production of this coun- try, and mas lead 10 tho increase of pIaut at some of our works, and no doubt will still further increase our capacity in that direction How far tbis use, which permanently with draws the metal from use, IS likely te continue We cannol say, but if arsenic, or possibly some other substances. should prove cqnally CT even more ef- hcaciouS than copper sulphate, this use for copper would suddenly cease.
