Brice Denies That He VIII Be at the
Democratic Helm Again.
WASHINGTON, July 15. Chairman Brice
is still kept busy denying that he will suc-
ceed himself as chairman of the democratic
national committee. To-day, Ia spite of his
denials and the positive statenents from
New York confirming his prediction that
Mr.. Harrity would be chairman of the
national committee and Josiah Quincy
chairman of the executive committee, the
report was once more circulated that Sena-
tor Brice would be reelected chairman and
that Mr.. Hsrr1ty would be chairman Of the
executive or campaign committee.

A Line of Freight Ships With Limited
Passenger accommodations.
BRUNSWICK, Ga, July 15.-The agitation
in relation to direct trade in Brunswick has
taken practical shape in the establishment
bv ]. H. Murrell 81 Co. of a line Of freight
ships with limited passenger accommoda-
tions from Brunswick 20 Liverpool and
Bremen. A large business in cotton, naval
stores and phosphate rock at this point
gives every reason to hope that this line,
Consisting Of five ships, to which other steam
ships will be added as business warrants,
will be a permanent success. The phos-
phate rock business will probably furnish
ample cargoes through the months when
cotton is not moving, and thorough can
yass of the interior will be made for the
purpose Of procuring exports In lines OF
freight not heretofore handed at this port,
as well as to procure orders for imports.
Brunswick is to congratulated upon hav-
ing taken the first practical step In this i'm
portant movement.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 15.-An official
report gives the following figures as the
number OF death from cholera July 12:
Astrakhan 277, Baku 4S, Tsaritsin 81, Sara
toff "a and Smara IL.
The municipal authorities throughout
Russia seem to have at length realized the
necessity OF adopting energetic measures to
prevent the spread of cholera. Towns in
which the disease has not yet appeared are
procuring large stocks of disinfectants, doc
tors have been specially engaged and depots
for gratuitous distribution Of med icine have
been opened The disease is raging with
extreme violence among the workingmen OF
Tsaritsin, where many OF them have died
three hours after they we're attacked.
Riots similar to those that have occurred
at Astrakhan are feared at Tihis, where
butchers are excited over decision Of the
authorities to destroy the old abattoirs aud
build new ones. The religious communities
in Moscow are organizinga procession to
appeal to God to stay the scourgs.
THE EPIDEMIC IN FRANCE.
PARIS, July 15.-There were four deaths
yesterday at St. Denis from the epidemic OF
''cholerine." At Aubervilliers there were
fourteen deaths from the disease.
There have been five additional cases of
cholerine at st. Ouen and two deaths from
the disease. Two deaths from cholerins
are reported at Clichy and another one at
Asnieres.
GRAVE ANXIETY AT LONDON.
LONDON, July f5.-The authorities in
Whitehall regard the state of affairs in
Paris with grave suspicion. The urgency
OF the situation is accumulated by the fact
that The issue Of the French official rec ords
suddenly ceased three weeks ago. The re-
ports of cholera received from Eastern
Europe are also very disquieting. The in-
tended holding Of e great fair at Mini Nov
gorod is regarded as a serious matter, tend

WASHINGTON, July 15.-The opponents
of the bill exsmpting coasswise sailing ves-
sels from paying stats pilotage fees. may
rest assured that no legislation will be
enacted by congress at this session detri-
mental to their interests. The commerce
committee of the House decided to-day to
postpone all further consideration of the
measure until next session. The bill
has been before congress for many
years and he's several times passed the Sem
ate. but Invariably meets with opposition
in the House. As the law now stands ves-
sells are compelled TO pay pilotage fee on
leaving and entering certain ports, priuci>
pally those of Virginia, North Carolina and
Georgia, even when they do not require the
services of pilot. The opposition to the
bill comes mainly from southern pilots, who
would be injuriousIy affected If it should
become a law.

Elephant Fairs in India.

The great fair in India for the sale OF
elephants is held annually at Sonepoor,
on the Ganges, at the time that hundreds
of thousands of pilgrims assemble there
to worship at the shrine of Silva, and
to battle in the sacred river when the
moon is full in the months of October
and November. The same kind of thiev.
ing and swindling goes on amongst tho
elephant dealers as amongst the horsy fra
ternity. Elephants are brought here
from a long distance, some even from
Burmah and Siam. The number for sale
seems to decrease every year, and the
prices rise enormously in consequence.
Cabool merchants are the principal pur.
chasers of them in the distant provinces,
and from there they are taken for their
long, weary march to India.
The prices realized by Mr.. Sanderson
vary according to the age and temper of
the captive, from about $50 to e40O,
or from about $3.50 to $1,000. Elephants
are bought by the natives for display,
and no animal looks so we'll in role for
tomahsha; the pompous pace of pro-
cession suits him to perfection; but for
this only male elephants are used, and
then only tuskers, as they alone seem
worthy to carry the native mobiles; and
the muckna, or tuskless male is sent with
the females to do work, such as carrying
baggage. wood, or fodder, and, OF
course, is of immense value for hunting
purposes. -Harper's Magazine.

CuriOsities About Amber.

It is a curious fact that clear yellow
amber exhibits no peculiarties of texture
when examined by the most perfect mi
croscope. On the other hand, if Opaque
or white amber be cut into thin slices
and examined by microscope of from
200 to 800 diamctcrs, round and oblong
cavities of varying sizes may be observed
in the interior. The cavities in milk
white amber are smallest; in the clear
yellow there are absolutely none, while
in the Opaque yellow varieties they have
the appearance of collection of minia-
ture soap bubbles. Water appears to be
contained ia these minute cavities, for if
fresh amber be exposed to intense heat
for some minutes it very sensibly dimin
ishes in weight. From this it would
appear that this peculiar fossilized resin
will admit of water dilfusing through
it's substance Another oddity in this
connection (tak ng the above into con-
sideration) is the fact that the insects
found in it are always perfectly dry

The Silver Strike at Creole.

A story of millions made in day, a
story that takes the pioneers back to the
DAYS of 40 and the famous Comstock and
White Pine strikes in Nevada, crops up
to-day here in this city, where no mining
excitement of note has been witnessed
in the last decade. II. r. Henderson, of
Henderson e Johnson, mining operators
of Creole, Col, is in the city and stay
ing at the California Hotel, where he
told the story yesterday of his success
full search for the vein which has made
the new camp SO famous.
1.-The canyon in which Creole is 10.
Gated" he said, s'runs north and south,
with gulch running to the eastward
below the railroad depot. In no place
is it more than seventy-fve feet wide,
and the sides are precipltous, SO that no
trail scales them. My notice was at
tracted by the rich strikes in the Anne
thyst, Last Chance and Holy Moses
claims about the first of the year, and
Will johnson, of Milwaukee, and [ i'm
mediately started for the scene. Mr..
Creole already had mine on the slope
of Mammoth Mountain. where he was
breaking up fallen powders aud getting
rich out of them, and my partner and
determined to go above his claim and
find the original vein. We started out
about 10 o'clock in the morning of Jan.
uary 22d. There was ten feet of snow
on the ground, and l tell you it was cold.
We climbed up the almost inaccessible
cliff and dug through the snow. 1t was
hard work, but it paid. At 5 o'clock
we had struck the vein, and its richness
is almost beyond belief. Why, if you
poured molten silver from lalle it
would look no richer. We determined
to get the assessment work finished at
once, and in four days we had gone
twelve feet into the vein. The full
width is fifteen feet, as we found later.
A milliop-dollar syndicate has been
formed to run a tunnel from the canyon
wall 5000 feet into the mountain, cut
ting all our claims, of which we have
ten. The railroad runs Immediately be-
low the mouth of this tunnel, and tue
present cost of putting. the ore on the
cars is only five cents a ton. 1t is only
week since I left Creole, and that
seventy. five. foot canyon is buster to day
than any San Francisco street, though
so many prospectors are out in the
mountains that it seems deserted, COM
parativsly speaking. The population is
now about 5000 or 10, 900, or I should
say it was last week, for crowds of peo-
pie are pouring in there each day."
Mrs. Henderson added that certainly
if anyone deserved success her husband
had, for at first he had to do all the
work himself, and his tireless climbing
over the cliffs had earned for him among
the miners the sobriquet of the "Mount-
ain Sheep" -Sau Francisco Chronicle.
