Stubs, who has been the presidents chief
lieutenant in all of the moves made by the
Southern Pacific company, will make his
report. In that report he will rehearse the
circumstances leading up to the formation
of the Western Traffic association, or the
presidents agreement. as it is sometimes
called. Then the report will offer the joint
ownership plan to the directorate of the
Southern Pacific as the best pratical solu-
tion of the problem of competition. The
report will recommend it rs a practical
scheme, reasoning from the point that as
individual railroad lines have been con
nected, brought up ana combined under
joint ownership as systems, SO, by a step
further, systems can be joined under one
management.

petitions asking Congress for the APP
propriation-with the proviso that if
such appropriation is made, then the

1t is said that Maj. Mckinley owes his
election to the negro vote of Ohio and
doubtless this statement Is true. Without
the negro vote the republican party OF the
United States would poll less than one
third of the total vote. It has been a
minority party for many years. This is
not very palatable information for party
which makes claim to so much progress,
intelligence and morality, bat The truth
is it depends almost entirely on the
ignorant vote for its standing in the
country. The democratic party is far in
the majority and is composed almost ex-
clusively OF intelligent white men.

The party which, under the direction o.
Chief Putnam of the department of Eth
nology. of the Chicago Exposition, has
been making excavations of the mounds
in Ohio fo- three months or more, met
with rare SUCCESS on November IA near
Chillicothe, in making one of the richest
finds of the century in the way of pre-
historic remains. While at work on a
mound 800 feet long, 200 feet wide and %
feet high, the eXcavauors found near the
center of the mound, at a depth of "A
feet, the massive skeleton of man
incased in copper armor. The head was
covered by an oval-shapel copper cap;
the jaws had copper holdings; the arms
were dressed in copper, while copper
plates covered the chest and stomach,
and on eaoh side of the head, on pro-
truding sticks, were wooden antlcrs orn-
amented with copper. The mouth was
stuffed with genuine pearls of great size,
but much decayed. Around the neck
was necklace of bears teeth, set with
pearls. At the side OF this skeleton was
a female skeleton, the two being sup
posed to be those of man and wife. 1t is
estimated that the bodies were buried full
ly GOD years ago. The eXcavators believe
they have at last found the king of the
mound builders.
