preparation bill and insisted on its consid-
GRAFTON, Notwithstanding the objection of
Bland, that he was thereby consuming the
short time remaining for debate on the sill
yer bill. Boutelle made short explana-
tion of the details of the agreement reached
in conference, and called for the previous
question, which was ordered, yeas 139, nays
1O3, and the conference report was adopted.
On motion of ConRer debate on the silver
bill was extended until o'clock when q
vote should be taken. The debate was con-
tinued by Morse, of Massachusetts,; Taylor.
of Illinois; Peters, of Kansas; Cutcheon, of
Michigan; Dunnell, of Minnesota; Bayne,
Of Pennsylvania; Williams, of Illinois, and
others. Mckinley, in closing the debate,
said he wanted the use of both metals to
ment. He wanted the metals to stand side
BY side, equal in purchasing power and
legal tender quality. Gentlemen who
favored the senate amendments wanted sill
yer to do all of the work. The first vote
taken was on the proposition to concur in
for the free coinage of silver coins to be full
legal tender, in place of the first section of
the house bill, providing for the free coin
age of $4 SOC, 600 worth Of silver per month.
The motion was defeated-yeas 135. nays

CURED in all the remaining senate amend
ments. The bill now goes back to the
senate with a request to appoint confer
ence COMMITTEES. The conference re-
tion bill was agreed to.
The senate discussed the Wyoming ad-
mission bill. The report of the committee
on territories being read, Vest opposed the
bill. He knew in the past states had been
admitted with small populations because of
some sectional exigencies, but none such
ulation of not over sixty thousand, scat
tered over an immense area-ninety thous-
and square miles. He would not vote for
the admission of Wyoming with the pres
ent constitution permitting woman suffrage.
Woman suffrage was antagonistic to the
spirit and institutions of the American
people. He deplored the extension of suf-
frage to oolored men in the south and said
no intelligent man to-day would give it to
them. He himself would no more give
them the right of suffrage than he would
give deadly weapon to child. Platt ia
vored the bill.

Salvador Lands the $4,000 Purse
After the Race Of the
M" Year.
Twenty Yards More and Tenny

Lead.

NEW YoRK, June 25.-The great event Of
the day at the Sheepshead track was the
Salvador -Tenny match for 5000 each. with
5000 added by the club, to carry 122
pounds, distance one mile and a quarter.
hiscreat event has been the topic in rae
ing circles for days and it drew hundreds
of people to the course to-day. The
weather was perfect and the crowd was i'm
mense. Before the race bookmakers post
ed three to five against Salvador and six to
five against Tenny, but the betting men
held off. Finally one bookmaker offered
seven to ten on Salvador, and this being all
the Haggin party wanted, they fell on
the bookies in great haste. The bookies
held out for awhile longer and then cut the
price to 65 to 100. Tenny's price was
heightened to thirteen to one. When the
to five could be had against him, as OPP
posed to three to five against Salvador.
Garrison bestrode Tenny and Murphy was
mounted on Salvador.
There was no delay at the post. They
were sent away at once. Salvador took the
lead and made the pace a very fast one.
Passing the stand Salvador was half a
length in front of Tenny and this lead he
increased to length and half on the
upper turn. As they reached the far turn
Salvador drew away and was leading by
nearly three lengths. Then Garrison COM
menced to ride and whip and Tenny closed
up the gap inch by inch.
At the last sixteenth Tenny was gaining
rapidly on Salvador, who managed to keep
his head in front to the wire, winning by
the shortest of short heads. Had the race
been twenty yards further, Garrison's mag
nifcent riding would have landed Tenny a
winner. A wild shout went up as the time
was put up. The record of 2O611 was beat
en- one and one-half seconds, and the
judges hoisted 2:05 as the time. The frac-
tional times were as follows: First quarter,
25; half-mile, 49A; five furlongs. 1O215;
three-quarters, 1:l4A; seven-eighths, 1:27I

Her Commissioners to tho Worlds Fair
II ave Their Eyes Open.
CHICAGO. June 25.-After the general
meeting of the various Worlds Fair COM
missioners this evening a conference was
called of the western and Pacific coast del
eRates. The meeting was called to order
by Patrick I. Lannon, of Salt Lake, who
nominated M. H. DeYoung, of San Fran
cisco, for chairman. Mr.. DeYoung de-
clined, and Mark Mcdonald, of San Fran
Q SEQ, was unanimously elected to the Of
flee. Ed. V. Skiff, of the Colorado COM
missioners, was elected secretary. A num-
Der Of speeches we're made, the general
tenor of which was that the extreme west
desired representation among the officers to
be elected, and also upon the executive
committee. Ihe general impression was
that some slate had been prepared and if
such was the case it was desirable to COM
bine together to break it. A very able
speech was made by J. w. Haines, of Neva-
da, who said he had reason to believe there
was not any slate and no necessity existed
for any combine. Haines said he thought
all were here in the interest of the whole
country and did not think Chicago people
desired or would have the principal officers
OF the commission. He thought Chicago
people having secured the location for the
fair would consider that as profit and honor
enough. If the presidency was given to
the extreme east by the election of Depew,
then the Pacific coast should have
presidency and the south the secretary
ship. Haines said he felt confident there
would be equal representation given to all
sections of the country on the executive
committee. A resolution was then offered
that this conference be confined to dele
gates west of the Mississippi river, which
was adopted unanimously. resolution
be appointed to have full charge of inviting
other delegates INTO the conference and
such invitation should rest with that COM
mittee. This resolution was adopted. Mr..
De Young was elected chairman of that
COMMITTEES. The chair then appointed two
Missouri and Governor d. B. Tenn of Lou
isiana. The meeting then adjourned.

INDIAN FISH HOOKS.
Early Use of Copper by the American
AbOrigines.

Early Use of Copper by the American
AbOrigines
The interesting form of copper imple-
ment is the fish hook. Those in the archa-
illogical museum at the university of
Pennsylvania will be readily admitted to be
admirably adapted to their purpose, al
though the barb had not suggested itself.
They are copied from the earlier native
bone fish hooks, for assume the use of
copper was of a later date than that of
stone or bone. They are essentially the
product of American skill and not derived,
with the bronze fish hooks of Europe,
especially those found in the lake
dwellings of Switzerland. These
are usually barbed; some are double and it
is very rare to find one that has not a loop
or some other device for securing the line,
feature wanting on those from Wisconsin,
but occurring on one from New York made
of brass wire and doubtless copied from
hooks of European manufacture. The
late DIR. Ryan, speaking of the comparative
scarcity of fish hooks, although fishing with
hooks was common practice with the
American tribes at the time of their first con-
tact with Europeans, suggest that they may
have used substances more likely to decay
than bone, horn or shell or copper. would
say that, after many years In collecting IN
New Jersey, where stone implements are
extremely abundant, that have never found
fish hook made of any material, although
historical evidence is not want
ing that fishing with a line was a common
practice. The bead was so common a form
of ornament that there need be no wonder
that copper beads, both globular and cylin-
drical, should be SO well-knOwn wherever
Indian handiwork occurs, and it is matter
of surprise that they should occur SO spar
ingly in the present collection, although
possibly, from their minute size, they have
been overlooked by the collector. As in all
other forms of copper implements, they
seem to have practically disappeared when
the native acquired European brass from
the early traders. A feature of the North
American Indians that has been mentioned
by Squier and Davis is that of mendinR
articles of stone by means of small
strips or sheets of the metal. This is
we'll shown in the stone pipe from Massachu-
setts, which, having been broken, has been
wrapped with copper, and is now as strong
as before the breakage. The metal does
not appear to have ever come into such gem
eral use as to advance culture, it being not
q metal but melleable stone to them, and,
while the uses to which they put it give evil
dence of mechanical skill, this is equally
shown in the magnificent flint work found
side by side with the copper tools. It was
otherwise in Mexico and Peru, where the
secret of making bronze was long ago dis
coyered.-PrOf. Albeit.

STATE OFFICIALS AT MILES.

The Board Of Equalization Confronted by
Dilemma-A Reception.
MILES Cry, June 25.--[ Special. Governor
Toole, Attorney General Haskell, Secretary
of State Rotwitt and Auditor Kenney ar
rived here to-day to sit as the state board
of equalization under the constitution,
which empowers them to apportion to each
county the railroad mileage for taxation
within its boundaries. Their letter of in
structions to the county clerks announced
that they expect to make the apportionment
and to consider the dispute between Yellow
stone and Custer counties respecting the
taxing Of railroad property on the Grow
reservation west of the Big Horn. This
question was settled by the district court
at the last session at Billings
in suit then pending between the North
ern Pacific railroad and the two counties.
The court then held, as did Judge Mole ary
in the case of Yellowstone county vs. Mel
son Story, that Yellowstone county could
not tax any property on the Grow reserva-
tion, and that appeal should be made to
the legislature and not to the court for re-
lief from the burden of expense incident to
the trial of causes arising on the Grow re-
serve, west of the Big Horn, that portion
being by statute attached to Yellowstone
county for judicial purposes and not for
taxation. Yellowstone expects to appeal to
the supreme court, but has not yet done 80.
The lawyers here are of the opinion that
the board of equalization is invading the
province of the court.
The county commissioners of Yellowstone
came to attend the meeting by order of the
Helena gentlemen. Judge Strevell ap-
peared for Custer county, he holding that
the board of equalization must respect the
decree of the court. The Yellowstone COM
missioners wish to know if the orders of
the Helena gentlemen are sufficient author
ity to allow Yellowstone to pay $50 travel
ing expenses. The lawyers are not certain
that the board of equalization can travel at
public expense without legislation to carry
out the provisions of the constitution.
This afternoon Gov. Toole, at the meeting.
disavowed any idea of conflict with the
court and acknowledged the decree as gov
erninR. Attorney General Haskell seemed
to have a notion that the board of equali-
zation should make a decree of their
own. They, however, did nothing. The
Yellowstone commissioners being here asked
to have two years. time, and two payments,
in which to pay the judgment in favor of
Custer county against Yellowstone county,
amounting to 1896. 20 and 10 per cent in
terest from 1885, but Custer would not
agree and warrant will be drawn in Septem-
Der. The people here rendered Gov. Toole
and the other gentlemen reception at the
Mcqueen. Col. Swayne, of Fort Keogh,
rendered the military band to serenade the
state executive.

the Grandson Of William Henry
Other Conventions.

HARR1sBuRo, Pa, June 25.-An immense
crowd gathered at the opening of the re-
publican state convention this morning. 1t
took the entire police force to prevent out
siders from breaking down the doors to get
into the hall, mostly adherents of Della
mater and Hastings, who, with Montooth,
are leading candidates for nomination for
Governor.
George S. Graham was made temporary
chairman, committees were appointed, and
a recess taken.
On reassembling Walter Lyon, of Allie
gheny, was made permanent chairman,
and after some fllibustering another recess
was taken until p. m. Upon reassembling
the committee on platform reported, and
the report was adopted. The platform ex-
presses gratitude to Chairman Quay, of the
national committee, for his matchless
services in the last presidential campaign;
it endorses the Mckinley tariff bill;
requests the strictest enforcement of the
laws forbidding the entrance into
the country of foreign paupers and contract
laborers; uncompromising hostility to mon.
ometalism, whether of gold or silver, and
earnestly favoring the use of both as coin
metals. The republican party of Pennsylva-
mia demands the enactment by the congress
now in session of such legislation as will,
while securing the fullest use of silver money,
most certainly secure and maintain the pari-
ty between the two metals. The platform
commends the course of Speaker Reed, con-
graduates him. The names of Geo. w.
Delamater and General Hastings were
placed before the convention for nomina-
tion for governor. Delamater was nomi-
mated on the second ballot. A recess was
taken until evening.
+. Nj. Waters, of Lackawanna, was NOM
mated for lieutenant governor, and Thomas
j. Stewart was renominated by acclamation
for secretary of internal affairs. General
Hastings was elected chairman Of the state
committee, but declined the position, and
VIM. H. Andrews was selected and the con-
Yantiou adjourned.
