SENATOR Roach yesterday stated
that when some objection vas made
against him early in the session, ne
desired to court an investigation,
but was deferred BY the advice OF
older Senators. The outcome OF
the matter We suppose will be
the adoption of Senator Gorman s
resolution directing tie Judiciary
committee to enquire whether the
Senate can take notice Of any oct
committed by . Senator prior to bis
election. It Is a very interesting
point that is involved and it ought
to be carefully considered. The
general understanding Is that while
e Legislative body can expel for con
duct committed after the member
takes his seat, yet the elective body
can select its own representative
and among the qualifications pre-
scribed for United States Senator
there is none that renders a bank
wrecker or 81 embezz Ineligible
to election. The Senate can hardly
add to the constitutional require

They say that the Grip has as
sumed new phases this spring in
New York. When it first appeared,
if we remember Alright, it affected
the brain to some extent and largely
deprived the victim OF his control
over his pedal extremities. This
season it lays hold Of the weakest
point in the system, producing all
sorts of internal disorders with va
nations. 1t has also produced
blindness and in some cases has
suddenly rendered the patient en-
tirely deaf. But the most singular
development Of the disease has been
a tsndency to throw people into O.
trance, during which while some of
the senses are measurably undia-
turbed, others are apparently lost,
and the subject is in continual
dream. This indeed would seem to
be on the same line with the men
tai maladies that accompanied the
disease in it's former visitation, but
divergence. II has too been unu-
sually fatal in its effects, for doctors
say that large proportion Of the
deaths now occurring in New York
Is to be attributed to it.

paper addressed to the President,
which however was opposed and

column. There is much truth in
the remarks made, but it would
hardly have been proper to have
addressed such paper to the Pres
ident. The remedy proposed-the
appointment OF more Southern men
to the foreign service, is an excel
lent one, but the President would
hardly care TO make appointments
merely on that basis. Gov. Fish
backs statement of the adoption oi

AInddin,s Cave. Perhans.

A Denver, Colo, despatch says In Eagle
county, near Red Cliff, number of natur-
al caverns have been discovered recently of
great size and of wonderful mineral riches.
Caves in mining districts are not unusual.
Small cavities have been discovered in a
number of rich mines in Colorado. The
Yankee Girl mine near Silyerton was first
proven a bonanza when a small, hollow
chamber was discovered, the walls of which
were incrusted to depth of several inches
with mineral that netted several thousand
dollars to the ton. The boulders found
lying on the floor of this chamber were also
enclosed by a thick coating of this rich
matter.
Last month three men operating the Lit
tie Girls mine on lease were engaged in
slowly driving tunnel into the mountain
through a stratum of lime which they had
encountered, when they opened up a cave
of a magnitude never before equaled in the
mineral regions of the state. The point
where they opened the chamber was about
20 feet above the floor of the room. The
dim light of a miners candle failed to re-
veal the dimensions of the cave. By a
careful sounding the discoveries found the
solid floor beneath, and constructing rude
ladder they descended into the cave.
The main room is about 40 feet in height
and 300 feet long, following the dip and
bend of the lime strata. 1t varies in
width from 20 to 40 feet. At one place a
narrow assure is found leading away to
one side. One of the men wOrmed his
way through this creVice, and found it the
entrance to a still larger chamber. How
far this cave extends has not yet been de-
termined.
In the first or main cave the foot wall is
covered with a mass of lime and iron
boulders, dOlOmite sand, and contact mat
ter of no mineral value. The walls are in
crusted with gypsum, fashioned into the
most weird and fantastic carvings and OF
rare texture and coloring. 1t is a marvel
of beauty. Near the narrow assure lead
ing to the second chamber a peculiar hole
was discovered in the floor. This proves
to be what miners denOminate pot hole
or chimney. II is filled with boulders and
lime sand, interspersed with other mineral
lied matter. The miners have erected a
windlass over this hole, and they will fol-
low the trend of that chimney in search OF
mineral that may be found below the lime
formation.
