Mayor Darcy, OF Salem, has vetoed a
bill for Improving chemeketa street, be-
cause the city is already In debt SIoo, ,ooo,
and he thinks there should be stop. He
says in his message, red no, affair:
"What has caused the downfall OF and
stagnation of business Ia many cities OF
the United Statesi 1t has been brought
about by the blooming" cry of impecuni-
Gus and idiotic individuals demanding
that the people bond the city for $500, 900
to 100000 to carry or extravagant and
useless improvements. The council
should remember that 1t is expected OF 1t
10 do It's duty regardless of the "bopmer."
Most of the members of the council were
here before he came and will likely be
here after he has become 10 odious that he
will not be tolerated longer in the COM
munity."

Note Withdrawn.
New York, Jan. 5.-The Herald's Val
paraiso correspondent says: The gov
eminent cable to Minister Montt at
Washington, of which L notified you
yesterday, contained a withdrawal
of the offensive paragraphs in
Mattas' reply to President Harrison's
message. The dispatch also includes
an analysis of the Valparaiso fscal's
report on the evidence taken by Judge
Foster in the Baltimore inquiry. The
report shows glaring mistakes in the
summing up of the testimony, but the
final argument that Gomez, Abumada
and Rodriguez should be punished will,
without doubt, be carried out.
The festivities tomorrow and Tuesday
in celebration of the Inauguration of the
Congressionalist revolt against Balma-
ceda will be very extensive affair.
The police detectives, who for some
time past had been situated in the
vicinity of the American legation at
Santiago, we're called off today.

THE coHN CASE.
The Cause Celebre Nearing Its
End.

4 iC SduSC ~GiCblC AeS6tAAS ASS
End.
Ten O'Clock yesterday morning found
the Cohn case in full swing in Judge
Clark's department of the superior
court. The hearing is nearing close,
the respondents expecting to get
through in two days. Then the con-
testants will start in on their rebuttal
testimony but it is thought that ar
gument will begin in a week from to-
day.
Sixteen witnesses were examined yes
terday. Their testimony was mere repi-
tition OF what has been introduced re-
garding the place of residence Of the
late B. Cohn and the general reputation
of Delfna. Among the witnesses were
old time friends of deceased and horde
OF tradesmen and neighbors who swore
positively that Mr.. Cohn resided on
Main street near the cathedral.
This class Of testimony is not interest
ing to the general public and there has
been great falling off in the daily at
tendance at the trial. Some of Cohn's
immediate relatives will be called to the
witness stand today to tell how the de-
ceased spent his time and where he re-
sided, during the years which Delfna
claims he lived with her.

that he invaded religious meetings and
interrupted services in order to spread
the eight" and was in his element
when he could secure an audience on
the street corners.
Numerous attempts have been made
to have him committed to an asylum,
but though the entire community has
always regarded him as insane, he man
aged to retain his liberty.
Some time ago Greenslade's daughter,
Gala Lily. child yet in her teens, was
taken from him, and by an order OF
court placed in the care Of other parties.
This angered Lewis, and he sent threat
ening letters to Judge Smith and others
who were instrumental in placing the
child out of his reach. He was called
up in court and admonished that he
would be proceeded against if he per-
sisted in his course, but this only had
the effect of stimulating him to write
more letters, all of which contained
threats and were filled with mysterious
signs and figures which are generally
supposed to have some reference to his
doctrine.
The sending of these letters led to his
arrest some days ago on complaint for
insanity. Drs. Moore and Kannon ex-
amined him, and pronounced him re-
ligious maniac after hearing testimony
from a number of witnesses.
Greenslade protested vigorouslyagainst
being sent to an asylum, but in vain.
He is 40 years of age and native Of
England. He came to this city from
Illinois. The physicians expressed the
opinion that the disease is increasing,
and the probabilities are that Lewis will
be seen no more on the streets of Los
Angeles in his picturesque baseball suit,
in which he was want to attire himself
preparatory to following up the Saliva
ton Army in it's nightly parades.

Visitors and the Chinese Emperor.

Visitors and the Chinese Emperor.
Until the present generation our min
listers have never been received by the
emperor in person. The Chinese have
fought against such receptions as sacri-
legious. In 1878, however, the foreign
ministers forced the emperor to receive
them, and in 1891 the new emperor gave
his first reception to the foreign diplo-
mats. He probably will have to do this
many times in the future. I have re-
ceived letter from China describing
this reception and saying that it had a
great influence on the Chinese at Picking.
1t shows the people that these so called
tribute bearers" are worthy of notice
and makes them respect our ministers.
The last emperor wanted the diplo-
mats to go down on their knees and
bump their heads against the floor nine
times in front of the emperor, as the
Chinese do, but they refused to do this,
and no attempt was made to demand
this on the present occasion. The Chi
nese idea is to make the foreign minis
ters, as far as possible, contemplate in
the eyes of the people, and it was four
months before the audience of 1878 could
be arranged. G.. Carpenter in
National Tribune.

Telerranhic Codes.

Ever since submarine telegraphy be-
came an established means of communi-
cation much ingenuity has been ex-
pended on the compilation of codes,
partly for secrecy, but principally to
abbreviate the messages and save money
in rates. To such a fine point has codify-
ing been brought in this latter direction
that the telegraph companies are at their
wits end to maintain proper equi-
librium between the number of messages
sent and the number of words trans
mitted; in other words between the vol
ume of actual business and the amount
of revenue. All large commercial
houses now use complicated codes, in
which single word of ten letters rep
resents sentence of ten, fifteen or
twenty words. Electricity.

ABoRIGINEs AND COPPER.
An Interesting Discovery of Tools in the
Keweenaw Mines.

N&A AAnsSiSstins discovery OF oolS in the
Keweenaw Mines.
peninsula called Keweenaw point,
]uttlng into Lake Superior from the
southern shore toward the northeast, is
famous as the center of vast copper
mining industry. Last year the mines
produced no less than 105, ,5S6 900 pounds
OF refined copper, and it is estimated
that during next year production will
be increased by at least 20 per
cent. E. b. Hinsdale, who contributes
to the latest bulletin of the American
geographical society an article on the
subject, has much that is interesting To
say about the numerous prehistoric
mines which have been found in this
region.
These ancient mines, judging from
their extent, must have been worked
for centuries. Who the workers were
no one can tell. They seem to have
known nothing of the smelling of
copper. What they sought were pieces
that could be fashioned bv cold
hammering into useful articles and or
naments. They understood the use of
fire in sojtening the rocks to enable
them to break away the rock from the
masses of copper. They could not drill.
but used the stone hammer freely.
More than ten carloads of stone
hammers were found in the neighbor-
hood of the Minnesota mine. In one
place the excavation was about fifty
feet deep and at the bottom were found
timbers forming scaffolding. and
large sheet of copper was discovered
there. In another place, in one of the
old pits, was found ihass of copper
weighing forty-six tons. At another
point the excavation was twenty-six
feet deep.
In another opening, at the depth of
eighteen feet, mass of copper weighing
over six tons was found, raised about
five feet from it's native bed by the
ancients, and secured on oaken props.
Every projecting point had been taken
off, SO that the exposed surface was
smooth. Whoever the old-time
workers may have been, many
centuries must have passed since their
mines were abandoned. The trenches
and openings have been filled up or
nearly so. Monstrous trees have grown
over their work and fallen to decay,
other generations OF trees springing up.
When the mines were re-discovered de-
cayed trunks of large trees were lying
over the works, while heavy growth
of live timber stood on the ground.
