Curious Revolutionary Relics.
Especial Correspondence.1


PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 17.-Among the nu-
merous Revolutionary relics to be found in
this old city are two huge bulldogs carved
in blue marble by some pioneer sculptor
105 years ago.
The dogs were made for Robert Morris,
secretary of the treasury under Washing
ton, and We're intended to ornament the
grounds about his mansion, erected on
Chestnut street between Seventh and
Eighth streets, and known as morris
Folly" the financier having become in
volved so that he was unable to complete
his project.
They were cut by Alexander Farquhar,
and bought by Christopher Hooker, who
exhibited them for many years at Seventh
and Race streets. They then passed into
the hands of Peter Fritz, nephew of Mr..
Hooker, and came into the possession Of
Mr.. William e. Cunningham in 1882
They now stand on weather stained pedes-
tails in Mr. Cunningham's marble yard at
903 North Eighth street. Since local pa
per published a paragraph about these
dogs few weeks ago Mr.. Cunningham's
marble yard has been visited by many peo-
pie anxious to view the relics.

Judge Gresham's declaration that he
will vote for Cleveland has affected the
Republican organs with an attack of
profound silence. They do not even try
to explain why that eminent jurist has
deserted his party. Meanwhile the ex-
PLANTATION given by Judge Lambert Tree,
of Chicago, who is an intimate friend of
Judge Gresham, may be accepted as
authoritative. Judge Tree says that
Gresham supports Mr.. Cleveland be-
cause for long time his convictions
have led him to be firm believer in the
correctness of the principle of tariff re-
form, and because he is opposed to the
doctrine of protection as now maintained
by the Republican party"

CREsToN, Ia, Oct. 1S.-The future his
torian who attempts to write an accurate
history of the American tramp from gene
sis to exodus will find many obstacles
across the path of his desire.
From the time of the formation of the
federal government until 1878, while there
were occasional vagabonds who would go
from village to village on begging excur-
sions, there was no distinctive class of per-
sons recognized in the English vocabulary
or recorded in contemporaneous newspaper
history as 'tramps" The word TRAMP"
when used as noun, according to Web
ster, signifed foot journey. "Tramper"
was the word used by Webster to define a
yagrant or vagabond.

TRIAL TESTS FAVORABLE
Blue Canyon Coal Being Tried by
Leading Roads On the Coast
ExcELs AS A sTEAMING COAL
Canadian Pacific Officials Expected to
oInvestigate the Capacity
OF the Mine

The Blue Canyon Coal Mining Com
pany expect the arrival in the city
Tuesday of a number of Canadian Pa
cific officials in order to negotiate terms
and investigate the capacity Of the
company's mines TO furnish large sup
plies of coal in the event of rate being
agreed upon. The railroad company
has recently been making test of the
Blue Canyon coal with very gratifying
results, and Is desirous of usuing il al =
together in the western division. The
Blue Canyon company has lately re-
ceived large orders for purposes of test
from various other railroad companies
The Southern Pacific road is at present
making an extended trial of the coal
on its lines leading from San Francis
co, the results so far being very salts
factory. Mr.. Bloedel, secretary of the
company, is nOwin San Francisco look
ing after its interests in this connection.
The Union Pacific has also made a
very satisfactory trial of the Blue Can
yon coal, and large orders are expected
TO follow. In the event of contract be-
ing secured from any one of these COM
panies, the employment of large adj
ditional force of men would be necessi-
tated, and that such contract will be
made with at least one If not more of
the roads is an almost foregone conclu-
sion. The tests thus far made have
uniformly resulted favorably TO the
coal on account of its superior steam
producing qualities, in which il stands
the peer of any coal produced on the
Pacific coast.
Respecting the coke producing capac-
ity of the Blue Canyon coal the COM
pany comedies an easy precedence To
the coal of the Fairhaven mines, which
by general consent Is much the best of
any produced i'm the United States out
side Of Connellsville, Pa, and it is by
no means inferior to that. The coke
standing next that produced by the
Fairhaven mines comes from Wilke.
son, back Of Tacoma, but the Fairhaven
coke Is so superior that the American
Foundry, which supplies the wheels of
the Northern Pacific, Cherry d Parkes
and the Puget Sound Dry Dock COM
pany, all Of Tacoma, use 1t in prefer
ence to that produced at Wilkeson.
The steam producing qualities of the
Blue Canyon coal and coke producing
power Of the coal Of the Fairhaven
mines, combined with the fact that at
Roche Harbor, but a few miles distant
from the bay, are the largest lime
works in the United States, makes this
stragetic point for the establishment
Of large smelter, especially in view Of
the fine water front and admirable
facilities for transportation existing ON
the Bay, either by land or water.

THE PRESIDENTS OPINION

Republican Defeat Attributed to Bad
management and High Protection
President Harrison attributes the
overwhelming Republican defeat to
the position Of the party on the tariff
question. The Republicans, he says,
forced the issue to an extreme which
did not meet with the approval of the
people. Another important element
which had much to do with the defeat
of the Republicans was the force bill,
and 1t was felt in the North as well as
IN the South. IL is the popular belief
that the force bill issue kept the Solid
south within the old lines, but in the
presidents estimation II did more than
that, for 1t brought to the support of
the Democrats many votes in the North,
The verdict could be construed in but
one way. 1t meant condemnation of
the extreme high tariff policy OF the
Republicans. The inevitable result, II
the party Is 10 hope for renewal of
power, will be modification of this po-
sition, but not remuneration altogether
OF the protective tarifpolicy which has
been the keynote Of every Republican
campaign for many years past.
President Harrison has very decided
views as TO the conduct of the cam
paign. He does not think very much
of Chairman Carter, Of the Republican
national committee. He consented to
Mr.. Carriers appointment only when Ii
became evident that no one more ac-
ceptable could be secured. He said the
campaign had been mismanaged, and
that much better results would have
been secured but for rainbow chas-
ing" schemes to which Mr.. Carter gave
countenance and assistance. The pres
ident is particularly chagrined at the
result in his native state. aud believes
1t was largely due to a lack Of good gem
eralship.
In closing the interview i'm which
the above opinions were expressed,
the president said that while some
mistakes might have been made. ii
was quite evident to any man that
nothing could have withstoOd the pop
ular uprising Of the people against the
high protective policy to which the
Republican party stood pledged by the
Mckinley law

oBsEaUIEs OF THE LATE DIR. ROSS
Return of Mr.. and Mrs. Downs From
Their Sad Eastern Journey

MIR. and Mrs. M. Il. Downs returned
yesterday from New York City,
whittier they were called by the death
of DIR. James Ross, father of Mrs
Downs. They arrived in New York on
the 29th of October, and the funeral oc-
cured Sunday afternoon following, at
the late residence of the deceased. DIR.
Ross spent last summer in this city
with his daughter and the many friends
which his kind and courteous manner
and benevolent heart won for him in
this community, will be interested in
the following which appeared in the
New York Recorder of October 81:
The funeral services of DIR. James
Ross were held yesterday afternoon at
his late residence, $50 Fifth avenue,
the Rev. Charles S. Narrower, ID. d.,
officiating.
DIR. Ross took high rank among the
older physicians of the city. He was a
valued member of the New York
County Medical Society, was for ten
years connected with the Northwestern
Dispensary, and served long as the re-
cording secretary of the New York
Medico-Legal Society. Few men,
even among the additionally generous
guild Of physicians, gave more constant
and kindly services among the Door
than DIR. Ross. He was man of the
highest character and most genial
nature, winning friends from all classes
of society. Possessing a cultivated
mind, his tastes were literary, and of
late years he had given up active prac-
tice, finding. his chief pleasure in his
library and the society of his family.
DR.. Ross was returning from visit
to his daughter at Seattle when he was
taken i'll at Lincoln, Neb., where he
died after an illness of a few hours. He
had been for many years a widower.
He leaves two children, Reuben w.

ABSURD ELECTION BETS

Exhibitions

Large Crowds Witness Ludicrous
Exhibitions
Considerable excitement and amuse-
ment was occasioned on the streets of
New Whatcom yesterday by the pay
ing Of the bets made on the election
returns. Mayor Miller, who had
agreed to wheel Harry Austin through
the streets Of the city, put i'm his APP
pearance at the postofiice according TO
contract, dressed in full suit of broad
cloth and wearing "A new black silk
hat. Harry also showed up at the
right moment, wearing a Cleveland
hat surmounted by full hedged
rooster. The mayor gallantly seized
the handles Of the barrow ana wheeled
his successful opponent down the hill
towards the viaduct at a lively speed,
the crowd following the performance
with every demonstration Of pleasure.

ing TO 1897, being for the benefit Of st.
Luke's hospital. The colonel dis.
guised himself as far as possible by
wearing huge green goggles, while
over his head hung dead rooster, sug.
gestive of the calamity which necessl-
tated the colonels performance.
A similar forfeit was paid on
Twelfth street In Fairhaven simulta.
neously with the above performance.

ment Of the terms of the wager, rode
in triumph from Mill avenue 10 LARA

Grandfather's Hat draped IN morn.
ing. Hardy took fiendish delight
In advertising the affair and making
the exhibition as absurd and humiliat-
ing as possible for the losers. The
wheelbarrow was gorgeously draped
with flags and national colors, and
looked like a Fourth OF July tableaux
car. A rooster was tied upon the roof
OF the canopy, but he was a Republican
bird and refused to celebrate a Demo-
cratic victory, and insisted upon hang
ing head downward from his perch.
After vainly attempting TO make him
stand erect he was released and the
show went on without him. Byrne
was dressed like a clown, and promptly
at o'clock stepped between the hati-
dies, the band played the "Rogues'
March, and the procession moved
along Twelfth street, receiving the
plaudits Of the crowd and shower Of
bouquets from the roof Of the Mason

The Fire Bug in Minneapolis

MINNEAPoLIs, Nov. 12-South Min.
neapolis was visited last night by a
gang of incendiaries who made -four
desperate attempts to set the town on
fire. From ten o'clock until long afteI
twelve, Twelfth avenue and South and
Sixth streets were kept in a state OF
anxiety and fear. They did not know
what was about to happen to them, SC
frequently did fires break out, alarms
being turned in four times and every
blaze was caused by kerosene. The fires
were all small, but were unquestion.
ably set by some gang of miscreants
who expected to throw the whole neigh.
borhoodinto CONSERVATION and pillage to
their hearts content. Kerosene was
freely used by the fire bugs.
