Two Men Who Were Robbing Pull
man Car Passengers.
Early Saturday morning when the
first-class west-bound overland was
speeding along between Elmira and
Batavia, the conductor Of the Pullman
sleeping-cars noticed two colored men
ransacking some clothing in one of the
cars.
He Immediately gave an alarm and
both men ran out on to the platform and
climbed upon the top of the car. The
train was slowed down and the two
thieves jumped off and started to run.
The train men gave chase but could not
overtake the men.
When Conductor Wells returned TO
Davisville the same day he noticed a
colored man sitting near a saloon, and he
Immediately arrested him.
Constable Kincaid then went out on
the track short distance 70 look around
for the second negro. He soon captured
him and took him to Jail.
Ben True came over in the afternoon
and brought both prisoners to this city.
They are believed to be the men who
have been Systematically stealing from
the Pullman sleepers during the past
three weeks.
The two negroes were taken to Solano
County, where the stealing was done and
where they will be tried 1t is under
stood that while in the City Prison here

One of the letter-gatherers yesterday
stated that on Saturday night, while he
was collecting letters in the eastern por-
ton of the city, he saw three men stopped
and robbed by footpads at Twenty-thlrd

trees, and when q man came along they
would pounce upon him.
The letter-carrier said he gave the
alarm, but when looked for the footpads
could not be found.

TIE ENGLISH IN CHILE.

Every few DAYS we hear that the people Of
Chile are much incensed against the Govern
ment Of the United States. Our Govern
ment is condemned for its action in regard
to the Itata, for not recognizing the Con-
gressonal party or belligeTents, and for not
establishing official relation with the Junta
before it had organized a semDlance Of gov
eminent. An American Admiral was GEN.
sured for having assisted Balmaceda to
escape, although it does not appear that
any such assistance was rendered. What
everis done, or is left undOne, was the wrong
thing to do or not to do. The idea is con-
tinually advanced that in consequence Of
the enmity of the Chilean people to the
American Government it would be useless
to attempt to improve the trade relations
between the two countries. Similar attacks
lave been especially directed against Minis
ter Egan, who has been charged at one time
with corrupt motives and again with grave
lndiscretion. There is much reason to be-
lieye that these misrepresentation are made
by English residents in Chile who naturally
desire TO keep the trade with that country
which they possessed before the war. These
Misrepresentation have been circulated in
the United States by newspapers which are
in thorough sympathy with the English.
The average American free-trade paper is
exceedingly fearful that the policy Of reel
DrOcity may be accepted by Chile and lead
to the transfer Of trade from English to
American houses

PRISON DISCIPLINE.

A correspondent to The CALL enters a
plea in behalf of criminals. BE is confident
that there is something wrong in the pres
eut management OF our penal institutions,
and urges q change in the method Of discl-
uline. He admits that "men in the peni-
Tertiary are not altogether good" yet feels
that in the hearts of all are the seeds of
good and bad. The best are liable to fall
and the worst under certain conditions may
perform grand and heroic deeds. We think
our correspondent will admit that a prime
necessity in prison discipline is submission
to the rules. Without this submission
there can be no peaceful relations between
the authorities and the prisoners 1t
would be of no use to build prisons if the
convicts were permitted to walk out when
they got tired of confinement. A class of
convicta admit this necessity and conform
30 rules. By so doing they shorten their
terms of service, and thus make a record
which serves them In after life. There is
another class who were at war with organ
lied society before they committed the
otfense which consigned them to prison.
They continue their warfare after impris-
onment. They incite the prisoners to re-
volt, as they lad before Imprisonment en-
deav0red to ineite people to oppose the
laws society has found necessary for
the protection of its members. The
prison rules permitting what our cor
respondent considers inhumRn punish
ment are designed for this class. These
Jules are enforced without discrim nation,
but not Intentionally against prisoners
who have observed the rules. Tie convict
who has committed a crime in a moment of
passion recognizes the necessity Of atone
ment and disciplines himself. The severe
rules dc not touch him. He goes on, piles
up his credits, and in sense squares his ac-
count with society. There are men whom
kindness will reach, and men who will re-
Tty kindness with treachery. The prison
authorities cannot take too many chances.
1t is their dGty to keep the prisoners within
the walls at whatever cost to those who
would break out Our correspondent would
cut poor figure governing with kindness
If re diu not keep force behind it The
summing up is that the world has tried all
kinds Of severe penalties, and has not either
frightened men from becoming criminals or
reformed them after conviction. This re-
suit appears to be in accord with Divine
law. The Christian religion has been taught
from thousands Of pulpits for much more
than thousand years. and there are still
Vnners in the world. Whether just or I'm.
just, it seems that there must be victims of
the laws absolutely essential 10 the reason
able safety of the law-abiding citizen Hu-
man government has made great progress
when it creates a condition which subjects
none to penalties but the guilty. The right
Of the peaceful majority 10 hold the vicious
minority In subsection viii hardly be con-
tested at this day.

he would not come, SO l rode on. and after

advancing, with their tails curled, hair

FLUCTUATIONS IN SILVER.

It was expected that as the stock Of sur
plus silver was being exhausted prices
would fuetuate. 1t was known that the
Government purchases would not exhaust
the surplus for several months, as there was
4 visible stock of about 1900, 600 ounces in
New York. To get rid of this surplus it
was proposed 70 authorize the purchase of
-, 200, 600 ounces in a lump, but the pur-
chase was not ordered. A free-ccinage
paper makes the recent decline in the mar
ket prizes Of silver the basis of an argument
to show that Under the present silver law
silver will fall back to the price 1t sold at
when the prospect of increased purchases
caused an advance. Possibly it will. So
long as there is a considerable surplus in
the market silver will be knocked about in
the market like any other product that may
be bought and sold. When the bears get
silver pretty well down they will turn bulls
and send it up. But rs the surplus de-
crea5es the fluctuations will grow narrower,
and when it is exhausted the purchase of
the Government will cause steady appre-
citation until 81 % per ounce is reached.
Meantime the Treasury is buying little
more silver than our mines are producing
after the needs of the arts are supplied.
The Treasury notes that are issued against
this silver perform all the functions Of
money, thus adding their amount to the
total volume of currency in the country.

WHAT IS INSIDE OF THE EARTHs
The Question as Affected by What Is
KNOWN of the Interior Heat.

The Question as auecteu ny w ihl Is
Known of the Interior Heat.
Many scientific men are devoting their
lives to finding out all that can be learned
about the interior Of this wonderful globe of
ours. one Of the interesting problems on
which they are engaged is the depth and
geological limits of the permanently frozen
soil. The British association has collected
a large amount of data on this question. 1t
has already told us some curious things,
such as the fact that excellent wheat lands
north of Manitoba oVerlieS frozen earth that
never thaws.
Some biologists find strata of rock that
they are able to show must have been buried
at a remote age 10000 feet under the sur
face. These upturned edges of rock, which
some terrible CONFUSION lifted to the air,
give us glimpse of the condition OF the in
terror some way below the greatest depth
to which we can attain. The wOrkmen in
the deepest mines in Europe swelter in
almost ntolerabe heat, and yet they have
never penetrated over one Seven-thOuSandth
part of the distance from the surface to the
center of the earth. In the lower levels of
some of the Comstock mines the men fought
sealding water, and could labor only three
or four hours at time, until the Sutr0
Tunnel pierced the mines and drew off
some of the terrible heat, which had been
1902.
The deepest boring ever made-that at
Spereubrg, near Berlin-peuetraIes only
4I72 feet, about 1000 feet deeper than the
famous artesan well at st. Louis. The re-
suit of this imperfect knowledge is that
there are more theories and disputes amoaS
scientific men with regard 10 the interior of
the earth than any other problem OF physl-
cal science. Some eminent physicists, for
instance like Sir William Thomps on, have
believed that the crust of the earth is at
least 100 miles thick. The majority adduce
good reasons for believing that the crust is
only from twenty-five to fifty miles thick.
All agree that the temperature within the
earth continues to increase as it does near
the suriace-at the rate of l. Fahrenheit,
for about every 80 feet of descent All
igneous rocks must be fused at no great
depth.
In fact, at this rate of increase the tem-
pPrature ut 200 miles is IS, 1000 Fahrenheit,
which is Professor Roset!lS estimate OF the
| probable temperature IF the sun. 1t is I'M
probable, however, that this rate of increase
is maintained Tor Il great distance, and
many physicists believe ithat at some IN
known but not very great depth the IN
crease in temperature ceases. One OF the
most wonderful things in the study Of
science is the fact that the mysteries OF one
| science are sometimes completely or partly
explained by knowledge CLEANED IN some
| other department of study. Il Is thus that
| the naturalists who have investigated the
fauna and flora of scores Of Pacific Islands
have learned how far south Asiatic types
! prevail ard have added great weight to the
| conclusions OF biologists that these Islands
were once a part of the big continent north
| of hem.-Goldthwaite' Geographical Mag
