while he made his speech. Coming to
Atlanta, an effort was made TO outdo
Montgomery by uniforlning her Con-

made arrangements and had
some cloth made of the identical

AMERICAN DIAMOND FIELDS
:. New York Expert on the Reported Bis.
coYeres In Idaho

NV YORK, Dec. 1.-THE reported
discovery of new and valuable diamond
seids in the Snake river country OF
idaho is rather questioned by local ex-
perts. G, 4. Kunz, one of the best
known authorities on tile subject, is
very doubtful whether the fields will
lie found rs extensive as their discover
ers seem to regard them. According
to this authority there is nothing new
hbout the discovery of diamonds in this
country. Yet the entire output of all
The various so-called diamond fields of
the United States could be held in the
palm of a mans hand. California and
kentucky have both put forward claims
in this line. Idaho also had quite
diamond excitement in the winter of
1865 and spring of 1866. A number of
small crystals, answering to all the us
hai tests, We're found throughout Il
tract forty miles square between Eoies
CITY and Owyhee. The excitement died
down in a few months, however, with
outfhe worlds output of diamonds be-
ingf materially increased. The few
sto1es found here. as in California and
Kentucky. have generally been small
and of inferior quality.
The dispatches in regard to the latest
Idaho discovery state that the ground
in which the find has been made is APP
parently of exactly the same nature as
that of the Kimberly diamond mines in
South Africa. But it seems that even
this fact is not to be relied upon too i'm
plicitly In Africa, Mr.. kunz says that
diamond mines contain certain associ-
ated minerals similar to those found III
certain localities in California, where a
few diamonds have come to light.
At Ison's Creek, KY, where it was re-
Gently thought the new diamond fields
had been discovered, the rock in which
the stones Were found was similar to
that in the SOUTH African fields. with
the single exception that it contained
something like 60 per cent less of car
bon. These rcsemblanccs which at
first sight may indicate identical con,li-
uons, afford no ground, Mr.. Kunz says
for asSuminga similar richness of yield,
and the one question to be asked in re-
gard to the latest discoveries is in re-
gard to the amount that the new fields
are capable of producing. Even if they
should be fos1nd wanting Oh invcstiga-
tion, rs Mr. knnz seems to fear they
will. no one need be alarmed about any
"carcity of diamonds. The diamond
output is regulated There are now
us many diamonds in sight in the South
African fields as the world will require
for years to come.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The action OF

omitting the speaker of the house OF

explanation of L. Ellery Anderson,
president of the club, that no slight
was intended toward Mr.. Crisp, and
that he would have been called upon il
it had been known that he had pre-.
pared an address, is not accepted as
satisfactory.
The fact is that Mr.. Crisp was in

was furnished without question. Pres.

The dinner took place, so that his plea
of ignorance of the circumstances is
hardly truthful.
Speaker Crisp has not yet said any
thing about the affair himself, except
to state that the dinner was the occa-
sion of most happy gathering of dem

most excellent. Still, the speaker feels
that the office which he holds has been
treated with scant courtesy. to say the
least; but it is Mr.. Crisps friends who
are profoundly indignant.
The feeling extends even to mem

Crisp faction, and they do not hesitate
to say that any gathering of so-callcd
democrats that would invite as guest
the present highest democr;ttic official
OF the government and then not ask
him to speak, although other less con-
spicuous members of the house We're
