Taller than EinePy.


The foundations of Sir Edward Watkins new
Tower of London have been completed. They
occupy four acres in pleasure park Of 120
acres between Willesden and Harrow They
consist of immense blocks of concrete. The
nature Of the ground where the tower is to be
constructed is so slUping and uneven that while
one set OF iootings appears about five feet above
the surface another is seven feet below, third
five feet below, aud the fourth at least 20 feet
below the surface. These foundations 90 down
nearly 20 feet and should be capable Of bearing
any weight that could be placed upon them
They have cost between S25, 600 aud $4,000.
Some idea of the magnitude of the whole
undertaking may be gathered from the state
ment that the Eifiel tower, which is to be so
far surpassed in size by the English tower. was
made of 1000 tons of steel and iron, consisting
of 12,C00 specially designed pieces, fastened to-
gether with 2,50O,0 900 rivets
The English tower is to be $50 feet higher
than the French wonder, and the latter can be
seen at distanct of IS miles. The English
structure will also be on higher ground. On
top of the English tower there will be an obser-
vatory and rooms for scientific experiment,
which are likely to be of great value.
Tho plan provides for a large landing stage
that will accommodate 10000 people. This
landing stage viii contain large dancing room
and several shops. and have refeshment bars
all round. Underneath will be rooms for stores
and other purposes, while at the top there will
be a humble of small rooms, which might be
used as private dining rooms

The Santa Maria.

After most uneventful, bnt very uncOm fort
able voyage the caravel built by the Spanish
Government for the anniversary of Columbus's
voyage has reached Havana. The new Santa
Maria. constructed 400 years after her namesake
first crossed the Atlantic Ocean, is as close a
copy of the famous original as archaeological re-
search and careful calculation could make her,
and is in every detail q reproduction of the
marine fashions OF the times, including lau
terms banners, images of saints, and old
fashioned furniture for the Admiral. The
present Santa Maria was not left to navigate
the Atlantic by herself, but was sent in tow of
a gunboat, and she pitched about so on the
moderate seas encountered that it was almost
an impossibility to believe that Columbus did
make the voyage in such craft 1t is unlikely
that any sailors of to-day could navigate the
Santa Maria, so curiously awkward are her sail
and rigging.
The Santa Maria with the reproductions of
the Pinta and the Nina the two smaller cara
wells of the feet, which were built in Spain by
order of the United States Government, will
soon be towed to New York, where their arrival
will be one of the events of the Summer.

the United States.
At the Internatioa.a Con ference of Health
Boards, held in New York City. April 6. it was
the general belief Of all that the United States
would have a touch of cholera. if not worse.
The meeting was called to consider the equip
ment and efficiency of various seaboard quaran-
tine stations and thsirability to cope with the
cholera in case of an epidemic this Summer.
general report wasreceived in regard to the
existing conditionDf' the quarantine stations.
New Orleans Mobile, Charleston, and similar
large ports were faiffy we'll prepared. New
Orleans headed the list in efficiency, while
Savannah brought' uputhe rear. DR.. Walter
WymaD, who spoke for the Government sta
tions, reported a mueh sbetter general condition
of affairs. All the Government stations were
in excellent condition.
DIR. MOntizambert made a report on Canada.
He said that there were three classes of quaran-
tinc stations ia Canada. The outer station
would be at Rimouski, about $50 miles below
Quebec. Steamers would bo stopped here, and
if all right would proceed to the next station,
about 30 miles below Quebec There all the
immigrants would be landed. and the vessels
allowed to proceed to place at the east end of
the harbor. All of these stations were
thoroughly equipped with quarantine appa-
ratus and facilities Outer stations were at
Halifax, st. Johns, William Head, Sidney and
Vancouver.
Tho disease has broken out afresh in the dis.
tricts in Russia which were ravaged last Sum-
mer and Autumn. The Government returns
place the number of those sick and dead at q
high figure yet it is stated that these returns are
not SO complete as they should be. The deaths
are SO numerous and matters kept so quiet that
it is probably impossible to secure the accurate
number. At L'Orient near Brest, France, 20
deaths have occurred within a fortnight, and
over 200 people are afflicted. The Government
kept the matter secret as long as possible, but
the disease has spread too rapidly.

Where Greenbacks Are redeemed.


With pass from the Treasurer we may
walk through the Redemption Division as il
is called, where the WORKOUT bank-bills are
received and cancelled and destroyed. You
would be amazed to see the skill with which
fragments of bills that have been soaked in
water nearly to pulp, scorched aud crisped by
fire, or gnswod By rats, are pieeed together on
paper the size of the original bill, so that their
value can be found. When all is done they are
placed under glass which is also of the same
size as the bill. and is divided into sections
that will show very nearly the precise frac-
tional part Of the bill which is missing so that
if tenth part of one-dollar bill is gone, the
bill is at once seen to be worth but 90 cents.
The women do this work with surprising ac-
curacy and dexterty. 1t is not always pleasant
work, for the money is sometimes fearful stuff
to handle when it comes in to be counted
reeking with filth and having shocking odor.
That which is to be destroyed or replaced with
new is put OIL a machine run by turbine
wheel, which punches the packages in several
spots. so that it would be nearly impossible to
use the bills again, and it is then taken to
peculiar furnace to be burned, where the col

CIaYtOn'S Alleged Assassin.

Sheriff White arrived at Little Rock, Ark,
April Z, with Frank Hickey, whom he secured
at Butte, Mont. the alleged slayer of Col John
M. Clayton. While at Lane, Kan, Hickey sent
a telegram to the authorities at Little Rock in
which he stated that he had never been in
Arkansas in his life, and that the bringing OF
him there was the scheme Of a man named
Burkhardt to get the reward. Burkhardt,
whose real name is Landers, Hickey claims, is
an al-around crook, forger and professional
"leg BREAKER" that is, he has leg he can
throw OUT of place and claim it is broken. He
has played this trick in Terre Haute and In
danapolis, Ind, and Anaconda Mont, and
brought suits against those cities for $500 each.
He also claims that Lauders has served four
years in the penitentiary at Joliet. ILL.,, and
that his picture is in the rogues gallery at
Joliet.
Burk hardt. or Landers, is man about 45
years old, about six feet high, and is an expert
teegrapher. Hickey is a young man not over
30 years old, of open countenance, and has the
appearance Of an all around sport.

Anarci,ism i'm Spain.

The Spanish authorities discovered on April
an alarming conspiracy of anarchists al
Heres, evidently having for its object an in.
surrection against the authorities 1t has been
supposed that the execution last year of four
anarchists who had been leaders in an outbreak
at Heres would prove lesson to those outlaws,
but the facts within the knowledge of the
authorities leave no doubt that the anarchists
are as desperate as ever, and animated by a
desire to svenge their comrades who persisted
by the garrote.
The conspirators were found to be armed
with rifles and large knives, and among the
captures were several desperate outlaws for
whom the police had long been searching. The
documents found showed that preparations had
been mado for another outbreak. i'll revenge for
the executions of February, 1892, and that the
outbreak was to have taken place to-day. The
prisoners were conveyed to Heres, and lodged
in the same cells in which the condemned
anarchists were confined last year before their
execution.

tried him. and would burn the town in revenge
for the injuries he had suffered. Gentry be.
