Teeth and TuslIs of Enormous Size Un-
cartheI in Indiana.
VALPARAISO, Ind, Sept. 9..-In the
Beaver Dam ditch, west of Crcwl
Point, Ind, have been found some more
remains of gigantic animals which
formerly roamed this region. Johl
Bigger's gang Of men dug these bones
out Some of the bones We're badly de-
cayed The huge jaw-bones each con.
tanned a grinder tooth, ten inches in
diameter upon the crowa, and b th
jaw-bones and teeth have become lid
ly petrified The tusks are brJl.el:
they are as big around as a large mans
thighs. and would extend five or six
feet The tusks show the ivory yet.
but the water and muck have colored
the ivory dirty brown.
The whole collection of bones wolll
more than fill an ordinary wagon box.
Mr.. Bigger intended to haul the best
preserved bones to Crown Point These
bones were found on John Bohlings
land, at narrow place in the marsh.
where the cattle have always crossed
since the country was civilized. 1t is
coniectured that ancient animals also
used this place for a ford. AS such re-
mains are always found in low places. it
is supposed the monster animals mired
and died
Many such bones have beea found il
this region, which would seem to indi-
cate that those huge creatures either
migrated in hot weather or that this
region was once more tropical il its
climate.

THE SHERMAN RESOLUTION.
What the Members ef the Domir ion
Cabinet Think of IT.

What the Members uf the DOmir ion
Cabinet Think of II.
OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 9.-All the cab
met ministers in town We're asked to eX-
press an opinion ON Senator She!man's
reciprocity resolution. They We're, of
course, reticent, but displayed no an
tagonism to Senator Sherman's pro-
posal. On the contrary, they seemed
inclined to regard it with some favor,
and were of the opinion that ii the
proposal passed the United States
senate, it will be taken up by the par
lament of Canada
Sir John Thompson, minister of
justice, said it was delicate matter to
speak Cf without consultation with tho
premier and his colleagues All that
he could say was that the proposition,
us he understood it, was an improve
ment on former proposals emanating
from Washington, inasmuch as it did
not commit either party to any particu-
lar method or plan to promote the OBJ
iect in view. In this regard the resolu-
tion seemed to him to be unobjection-
able.
As to the distinct proposal for free
trade in coal, Sir John said he did not
think the feeling of the mining interests
in Nova Scotia, his own province.
would be in favor of free trade with the
United States in coal. The Toronto
papers asserted that the coal trade in
Nova Scotia was depressed for want of
free trade, but they were mistaken.
The coal trade was growing and was
not at all depressed. He did not think
there was u coal mine in Nova Scotia,
except. pc haps, the SI-ing Hill mine,
in favor of reciprocity in cnal.
Sir John admitted however. that the
Spring Hill mine was by far the largest
and most important in the province.
Its output was enormous. There was Il
section ii Nova Scotia that favored re-
ciprocity in coal irrespective Of its effect
on mining inte1 ests. but it was not 50
large as in past years. The Nova Scotia
miners were handicapped il their com
petition with American miners by mat
ters of transportation and could not
supply even the New England states,
always excepting Spring Hill.
Mr.. Foster, minister of finance, pre-
ferred not to express a decided opinion.
The Sherman resolution he said, was
the best proposition made since the old
reciprocity treaty. 1t seemed fair
toward Canada As to the reciprocity
in coal alone he was tot in favor, as &
rule. of these single clause reciprocity
treaties. No doubt if the senate, which
was the controlling body of congress,
pa sed the resolution it would be con-
s.dered by the parliament of Canada.
Hon. Edward Dewdney, minister OF
the interior, spoke favorably Of the
sherman resolution, saying ON the face
of it the resolution appeared II rcasona-
bic one.

NIcARAeuAN CANAL.
The Success of the Scheme is Said to BE
Assured.

Assured.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 "A. J. Menocal
and several other gentlemen of the engin-
eering staff of the Nicaragua canal con-
struction corps, has just re.~,hed Wash
ington from Greytown on u short leave
of absence. They report commendable
progress already on the great engineer
ing project. Several million dollars
have already been spent, and the active
work of canal construction is now well
under way; and so well started and I'M
der the favorable financial auspices that
the success Of the scheme they say is as
sured
The Nicaragua company recently
purchased at al enormous expense the
plant of the American Dredging COM
pany, which had been doing the work
on tue abandoned Panama canal. The
dredges are now heing delivered at
Greytown. and the Nicarauga company
will operate thelnitself, instead of let
ting coAtracts for such of the work us
these dredges are adapted to.
Already the pier or breakwater, ex-
tending out into the gulf at Greytown
is nearly completed, the actual dredy-
ing lOf the Cdlldl VI Ine SulI Sue HAS
begun. The telegraph liue from Grey
town to Lake Michigan connecting with
the lines on the Pacific coast is COM
pleted, and the railroad from Greytown
to the lake along the line of the canal is
we'll underway
AT present about 1900 men and a
corps of eighty officers or engineers are
on the ground and at work. The first
work. preliminary to work on the canal
proper, was the Building Of the great
per ut Greytowl, extending 1900 feet
ont toward the deep waters This is
necessary to protect the entrance to the
canal, and work on it was begun eally
last January. Seven hundred feet of the
pier has Eo9n completed
This pier has proved a lucky enter
prise. When work was begun on it, the
entrance to the harbor was ob3tructed
by sand bur. The 700 feet of liier al
ready built, has so changed the currents
that this olstructing sand bar has al
most entirely worn away by the action
of the water.

BALTIMORE, Sept. O-Mr. Samuel
Kimberly, secretary Of the legation TO
the Central American states, and consul
general of the United States ut Guatc-
mala, has started for his post Of duty.
Speaking of the state of affairs in the
Central American states, Mr.. Kimberly
said Il think the department at Wash
ington ha3 perfect confidence in the
present minister there, Mr.. Miner.
Tine Guatemalans are an impetuous
race, and it would be wisest for us to
move slowly. The Central Americans
are desirious of having closer inter
course with MS, and our government has
taken deep interest in the matter.
Some little diplomatic complications
may arise out of the Gen. Burrunda
affair, but not Of so serious character as
to cause any breach, and the whole
matter will be soon Strengthened ont.

ENORMOUS SHIPMENTS OF STOCK.
Over 90, 600 Head of Cattle t. Bo Shipped
from the Black Hills This Season.


SIOUX CITY, Iowa. Sept. Tho inn
mense revenues of some of the western
railroads from stock shipments alone
can hardly be comprehended by the
average shipper. Of late years the
5tock-raising business has become an
important industry west of the Missis-
sippi river. Advces from up-liver
points say that since the opening OF the
Sioux reservation thousands of head of
cattle and sheep have been driven in to
be fattened ON the nutritious grasses of
the ranges.
The stockmen in the Black Hills
region will ship fully 10000 head of cat
tie this season to the eastern markets.
Allowing eighteen head to car it will
take 333 Trains of fifteen cars each to
complete the work, or total Of 5000
GERS. Estimating the rate at 800 per
car, and it will probably. exceed that
amount, the Fremont, Elkhorn and
Missouri Valley road, which will han
d most of this stock, will receive $780,
600 for the haul. Shipments will soon
