Making Balloons Safe.

Two melancholy accidents through balloons becoming ruptured in midair have led to experiments being made with a view to save life under such con ditions. One aeronaut in France fitted his balloon with a parachute which overspread the upper part of the gaseous envelope. He then made an ascent, and, with marvellous confidence ill the value of his improvement, purposely cut the fabric of the balloon and let the gas es- cape. The parachute then expanded, and the occupants of the car sank slow ly and safely to earth.
 In another experiment, conducted in this country, to show that, if the neck line of balloon were left united the silk envelope would itself form an um- brellalike parachute, the car had no occupants, but was weighted so as to represent a crew of three persons. By means of fuse and weight the fabric was automatically slit from top to bot tom when the balloon was at a height of 5000 feet, upon which the material assumed the form of an inverted basin and came down gently. It is argued from the result of this experiment that the occupants of burst balloon would come safely to the ground if they only had the presence of mind to cut the neck line.-Chambers' Journal.

Tasmania Silver.

The richness of some of the ores found in Tasmania is marvellous. Recently some Zeehan chloride was twice tested by private analyses and found to assay nearly 10000 ounces of silver to the ton. The accuracy of these tests being doubt ed, two specimens were submitted to the government analyst for trial in his lab Oratory, with the result that in both samples he found over 10000 ounces to the ton. From another mine native sil- yer and antimonial ore assayed 5000 ounces to the ton. A soft clay found in one claim gave 1,S00 ounces to the ton, and from another Fahlerz ore yielded 3G7 ounces of silver to the ton.
 By the latest mail advices hear of samples from some tons of ore taken from ' Whyte river claim yielding as follows: Galena No. 1 specimen, 451 ounces silver and 42 per cent. lead; galena No. 9, 521 ounces silver and F per cent. lead; "black pug" 330 ounces silver and II per cent. lead, the forma- ton being described as galena slugs i'm bedded in very wet black pug.-Black- woods Magazine.

THEY CROSSED. The Little Comets Erra-
 tic Lode Ran Into That of the
 Black Eagle
And Incidentally Produced an
 Expensive Lawsuit
And That's Why the Supreme Court Room Yesterday Looked Like
 Kindergarten.

In supreme court Saturday there were on exhibition a number of glass boxes containing strips oi red and blue paste board whose planes crossed each other at all sorts of angles. Exposed on huge easels were maps showing lo- cations of varions mines situated m Cochise county. All this paraphernalia was illustrative of dispute now and for long time in the past in progress between mining corporations in that county, known originally as the Water val Mining company against C. w. Leach and E. B. Gage owners of group of adjacent mines one of which Is known as the Little Comet. The cause of the trouble was the cratic course of the Little Comets lode which lHtruded upon the territory of the Black Eagle, claim of the Waterval Mining company, of senior location. The real trouble began when the lode of the Little Comet intersected that of the Black Eagle as indicated by the pieces of paste board in the afore mentioned glass boxes. The Waterval company began suit in the court of CoChise county to restrain the follow CTS of the Little Comet lead from pro ceeding beyond the point of intersec- tiOn.
 The defendants were given a verdict and the matter was brought upon an appeal. Nearly the entire day was taken up in the arguments in the course of which the court rose. The matter will be continued tomorrow
 In the case of F. E. Jordan, ct al, ap- pelants vs John Dakes, briefs were sub mitted.
 In the matter of the Huachuca Warer company, appellant vs G. w. Swain, motion to dismiss appeal was denied. The same action was taken in the cases of the Southern Pacific ys Bertha Tomlinson and Wares vs, Preston.
 Briefs were submitted in the case of Dou Yen vs An You.

FLAGSTAFF'S HOPE.
Direct Southern Pacific Connection

Direct Southern Pacific Connection
 with Phoenix.
 Hon. E. NJ. Doe of Flagstaff is in the city on business in the supreme court. hr. Doe is also enthusiastically talking up another project which is of great in- terest to Phoenix, railroad connection between this city and Flagstaff. The southern Pacific has already given the project some consideration. It is well known that that company has made a superficial survey between PhRnix and Prescott from which latter point it COul1 reach the Atlantic and Pacific by the bniIock road. Since then the people of fl8R'aH have brought to the attention ol the Southern Pacihc the dssirability 0l Fa{staH as northern terminus. Ihey urge the extensive lumbe and cattle interests of that place and it's proximity to inexhaustible supplies Ot coal. It is beside the most important pace on the Atlantic & Pacific and has the most roseate future of any town in ri 1me territory excepting only Phoenix. iihey say that nothing can be gained in instance by building by the way of rrescott. The Bullock rOsn could serve no purpose of the Southern Pacific. It mas no road bed and it's rails would ne. cesSarlIy have to be replaced by others W greater weight. It is quite certain tnst The Southern Pacific in self defense "lU construct north and south road tC meet the encroachment of the Santa re on the part of the Santa Fe, Pres Colt PhRnix and it can reach further mo santa Fe territory and divide more ~, santa te business by striking Flag siau than by touching any other point Sohg the A. & P, in the territory. The possibility of the execution of the project IS much talked of at Flag os. oAu and it is said that itt U'lzen7 ,n7 have been given to understand 'u"' such a road is not an improbability

The New Railroad Proposition As
 suming Shape.
 The following special dispatch sent from San Diego appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle last Thursday:
 SAN DEGO, Jan. 1.-The railroad eX- tension committee decided today to in' corporate a company for the building of the line eastward. The plan as formu- lated is to organize under the laws of Arizona for the construction of the en- tire hne beween San Diego and Phoenix, The directory is to be made up of San Diego and Phoenix men with working majority of the board in San Diego, as the supplies would be more easily ob- taned here and construction would naturally begin at this place, though il might later be prosecuted from b tn ends. 0, J. Slough, a local capitalist, who has shown active interest in the matter ever since it was presented in what appeared 10 be a practicable form, has offered to go to Arizona at his own expense and push business. Much in' terest is awakened here and in Phoenix, and the prospect is more favorable for the building of the line as proposed than al any previous time.
 Indiana and New York capital has been interested, and while this is an independent enterprise thus far, it Is believed that the Rock Island company will eventually aid Tn the construction of the road and make San Diego itf Pacific coast terminal. That company't line, which now ends at Liberal, Kas. 1t is understood, will be extended tC Albuquerque, where it will meet the road from San Diego.

 But we have nothing larger in boys suits.

 "Oh, them's the very thing. How much be they? Why didn't you tell me you had 'em afore"
 "Bccause 1 didn't know how big your little boy was. It seems to me he must be quite a chunk of boy when a mans clothes fit him.
 Well, declare to goodness; it must be that he's man. Inever once thought on it that way afore. It just struck me this minute. How they do grow up, don't they;"
 And when a satisfactory bargain had been concluded the perplexed and sur prised woman departed with her bundle. Detroit Free Press.

WOOL MEN. Assemble in Large Mum bers at New York. They Re-affirm Their Faith in Protection. And Declare that the Proposed Change will be Damaging. A Peculiarly Unjust Feature of the springer Bill Now Occupying
 the Attention of the House.

Nrw YoRK, Jan. l5.-t Associated d p,o.s l-rhe national association of ao,j manufacturers began the twenty .igbrh annual meeting here today. president Whitman declined reelection and Rufus $. Frost was chosen. Res oln,ions were adopted declaring it to hs the belief of manufacturers that tbe existing tariff has proved advanta' osous to wool growers, manufacturers and customers of woolen goods. The rronosed economic change is not in rs.nonse to any demand from the in- dns,ry here represented, eighty per cent of the manufacturers of the coun- try having joined in protesting against tbe passage of the free wool bill now pending in congress and which protest is reatirmed.
 The attention of congress is invited to the fact that woolen goods are man. riactured nearly a year in advance of inc season for whose wear they are adapted and in consequence any law simultaneously removing the duty on wool will compel the whole domestic nroduction of the season manufactured from duty paid wool to compete in the markets with foreign goods manu- hctured from free wool. The SpriDger bill discrminates doubly in rhs respect by admitting at reduced rates simultaneously with inc repeal of the wool du- ties, all foreign goods imported prior 10 it's passage and now held in bond. year should elapse after the wool duties disappear before compensatory duties are reported.

In the course of an interesting article
on the fall elections the New York Sun
concludes that of the four states to elect
q governor, Virginia is surely demo
cratic and Iowa, Ohio and Massachusetts,
are debatable. The Sun thinks that if
Russell does not conclude to run "and
knock the Massachusetts, republicans
into smithereens again." that Josiah
Quincy, whom it dubs a brilliant
young statesman, will be the demo.
cratic candidate for governor. Horace
Bolts wants to be United States senator
from Iowa and will be the leader in the
fight in that state with some nominal
figurehead as candidate for governor.

NEWS OF THE CAPITAL
More Appointments Expected
to Be Made To-Day.

land at the Country White House" He
went prepared to work, the clerks of the

Of papers which the secretary carried with
him to the summer executive mansion.
These papers consisted of all the appli-
cations and recommendations of candidates
on file for certain Offices In the bundle
there were several New York eases, but
not that OF the Collector of the Port. 1t
is likely that either late this afternoon or
TO- morrow morning list of important
appointments will be made.
The report sent out last evening that it
had been learned from an authoritative
source that the extra session of Congress
would be called for the first Monday in
September is being much commented upon

PURGING THE ROLLS

Pension Bureau Begins Search for I'M
posters.
WASHINGTON, June 20. - The work of
purging the pension rolls of impostors has
apparently begun in earnest Following
the instructions of Secretary Smith, the
pension officials have inaugurated "A search
of the files of the Office for such cases as
are clearly fraudulent, and up to this time
quite a large number have been found.
To-day a long list of names was sent to
Secretary Smith by Commissioner Lochren,
giving, in addition to the name, number
of pension certificate, and such other data
as was deemed essential with the recon-
mendation which has been approved that
the same be dropped from the pension
rolls.
In this list eleven were deserters at
large, rs appears from the records OF the
War Department. A plumber did not serve
the required ninety days; others drawing
widows pensions had married; one had
never been in the army or naval service;
several were drawing pensions on account
of disabilities resulting from their own
vicious habits, and one was living in 'open
and notorious adultry." The work of ex-
amining the rolls with a view to the de-
lection Of fraud will be prosecuted with
viRor, and at the same time current issues
will be carefully scrutinized with the same
object
Secretary Smith and Commissioner
Lochren, while prosecuting this work, re-
new the assurances previously given that
just as much care will be exercised to Sc
cure pensions to those who are entitled to
them under the law as will be used to pre-
vent fraud

FARMERs IN DISTRESS
Kansas Agric ulturists Calling
on the Legislature.

A Special Session acknowledgements
tion Wanted to Buy Seed for Those
who Have No Surplus Grain.
TOPEKA, Kas., June 30. There is a de-
mand for special session of the Legis-
lature. 1t comes from the West, and tn g
provocation is the crop failure and the
necessity of an appropriation to buy seed
for farmers who have no surplus grain
from last years crop, or money to buy a
supply for seeding this fall and next
spring. There are said to be twenty
seven counties in this state which will not
produce sufficient wheat this year for
bread and seed for the population, and the
farmers are so poor that the most of them
must have aid from some source.
Gov. Lewelling is opposed to special
session. He thinks the people could better
afford to raise fund by private subscrip-
ton than to pay extra taxes to defray the
expenses of a special session.
Stephen NJ. Gotta, State lecturer of the
Farmers Alliance, has issued an appeal to
members of the organization to contribute
aid to the striking coal miners of the
Cherokee district. He says anything will
be acceptable; clothes, provisions or money.
The strikers have been idle so long, he
says, that many of them are in destitute
circumstances. and as they are making a
light for principle that is generally in
dorsed by the industrial classes it ought
to be the duty of every farmer to help.

FRAUDS ALLEGED
POrtland's Collector of Customs SUI
MARTY Removed.

Portland's Collector of Customs Sum-
marty Removed.
WASHINGTON, June 20. The President
has summarily removed from Office Mr..
Lotan, Collector of Customs at Portland,
Ore. This unusual action of the President
was taken on the receipt of telegram
from special agents of the Treasury De-
partment, who have been engaged for
some time in investigating the fraudulent
practices prevailing in the Puget Sound
and Portland districts.
The telegram stated that they had in
formation of the intended landing at Port
land of a large number of Chinese coolies
Some weeks ago Mr.. Lotan was removed
but his successor has not yet qualified,
and Mr.. Lotan was still in charge of the
Office. On his summary removal yes
lerday his deputy was placed in
charge, and will continue to act until
Black, the new collector, qualities. His
bond is now on the way to Washington.
On June IS, Collector Lotan, in disregard
of official instructions from the Treasury
Department., landed from the steamer
Danube about $50 Chinese. claiming to be
merchants, but who were described in an
official report to the department as a
.'scaly and " couth appearing lot of cool
les. :" The Chinese coolies now expected
are on board the steamer Hayt Republic
en- route to Portland, and it was believed
by the Treasury Department that il Col
lector Lotau had been left in Office he
would land the Chinese from the Haytien
Republic without regard to law, as was
done in the case of the Danube.
As far back as March Sd Collector Lotan
was instructed by Assistant Secretary
Spaulding as follows: ut is ascertained
that many Chinese enter the United States
upon fraudulent papers, certifying them
to be returning merchants. You will
hereafter disregard such papers and refuse
entry unless it is proven to your satisfac
ton that the persons presenting them have
the right to land"
Since that time many hundreds of Chi
nese have been landed at Portland upon
bogus affidavits and certificates.
