PIrTsBURa's BLIND POOLS.
The State Banking Department to Take
no Part In the Prosecution.


no Part In the Prosecution.
Pittsburg, Oct. 25.-There seems to be lit
tie likelihood that the state banking de-
partment will take any part in the cru
sade against the discretionary pools"
In response to a letter from the finance
committee of the chamber of commerce,
the state superintendent of banking, C.
H. Krumhaar, sends a communication
which was read ct a special meeting of
the finance committee this afternoon, in
which 1t is stated that the state depart
ment will not aid in the prosecution of
pool manipulators.
Everything is quiet about the pool rooms
to-day. There were no runs, and no furth-
err evidence of the fevered excitement
that has characterized every day since the
crusade was inaugurated.
A sensational telegram from Chicago
printed in a morning paper, stated that
there had been a big slump in the wheat
and oats markets yesterday as a result of
Mr. Twins suspension, and that he Or
VIM had lost heavily. This statement
Mr. Irwin brands as absurd and referred
to the financial page of tho same paper
to substantiate his statements.
Despite the fact Of his arrest yesterday
Manager Devlin OF the American Syndi-
cate, Penn building, was on hand this
morning His principal occupation con-
sisted in repeating explanations OF the du-
bious meaning OF his contracts with i'm
portuning customers. Only three other
pools were open to-day and none OF them
were burdened with investors

CRISP AT NASHVILLE.
Several Thousand Persons Turn Out to
Hear Him Speak.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 25.-Hon. Charles
Crisp, speaker of the House of Represen-
tatlves, spoke here tonight to an audience
Of several thousand. The Vendome thea
ter, one of the largest buildings in the
city, was secured, but not half of those
who gathered to hear him could gain
admittance. Speaker Crisp, as boy lived
IN this city, and an unusual amount Of
interest attached to his visit
Preceding his speech was an imposing
parade of the local democratic clubs.
The speaker, throughout his remarks,
was listened to with the closest attention,
ana frequent applause evinced the fact
mat his audience was in entire sympathy
with him.
speaker Crisp commenced his address
by euogizing the United States govern
ment, claiming that it was the best the
world had eywr seen, and adding that 1t
was Of para lount Importance that the
people should study and understand the
economic questions of the day. He said
mat the Democratic party had no apol-
osy to make to the poole since securing
control Of the government. When they
came into power the conditions which con-
ironted them were most foreboding; bus
mess was at a standstill; manufactures
We're idle and laboring men were tramp
Ing over the country by the thousands.
the Democratic party had sought to as
certain tho cause for this state OF affairs,
and apply the remedy. Long before the
panic reached this country It began TO
manifest itself In foreign countries, and he
denied that a change in the administra-
tlon was responsible for the depression.

long enough the trust would be shorn of
its power.
Referring to the Wilson bill, Speaker
crisp said 1T had saved the people of the
country S140,C00,000 on the single item of
wooden goods. In the repeal of the inilui-
tous federal ELECTION law, the people had
again demonstrated their belief in home
rule. Many burdens had been placed on
the Democratic party by the preceding
congress, one of which was the enor-
nous increase in the matter of pensions,
Which under the Harrison administration
increased from s7S,O0O,OOO to $50, 900.
In a dignified way, the speaker turned to
the populists. He called them the rain
bow party and said as best he could make
1t out, they wanted the government to
support them. In proof of this he cited
the bills introduced in the last congress
by their representatives. 1.-The south" he
said, has never as yet elected a populist
congressman and in my humble opinion it
never will"

Found in g So-CaIIed Lake" Situated Far
Above the Sea.
Col f. V. Greene recently read pa
per before the American Institute of
Mining Engineers that gives some in
teresting facts about this product. He
says:
1.-THE asphalt of Trinidad is found in
a so-called lake, situated about 100 feet
above the sea and about three miles
from the shore of the island. at the
Village of La Brea (the Spanish word
for pitch). Its area is about ia acres,
its depth, as far as ascertained by Ger
tain rude borings, is reported to be
about eighteen feet at the sides and
seventy-eight feet in the center and
underlying it there is said to be a bed
of blue clay. If these figures are cor
rect the lake contains about 6, 600, 600
tons of asphalt Whether these bor-
ings are even approximately accurate
is, however. very doubtful 1t is even
contended by some that the lake is
still fed from underground sources.
The only positive information on the
subject is the fact that the excavations
of the last ten years about $50, 600
tons) have not appreciably lowered its

post, is an entire misnomer. 1t is a
level tract of brown1sh material hav-
ing an earthly appearance Cracks and
assures having q width and depth of a

the surface. Some of them are filled
with rain water, while others have
been filled with sol blown there by
the wind and giving support to a scrub

reported that the. deposit is liquid in
the middle, but such is not the fact.
Carts and mules can be driven every
where on its surface. The material is
dug with pick and shovel, loaded in
to carts and hauled to the beach Here
it is placed in baskets, which are
carried by coolies wading through the
surf to lighters, and from these light
ers it is loadedDon vessels. During the
voyage the material unites in solid
mass and has to be removed again by
the use of pick and shovel On being

days in large tanks heated by slow

ing to me that you have no just cause
of offense against him. Whether you
have or not, nobody but you two can
know. The language which gave you
offense was uttered in your own house,
at your own table. What it was, no
one heard but you. Both of you ought
now to be satisfied; both of you have
indicated your honor. Let the affair
end here
Mr.. Bostock faced the speaker.
"Does that man. he asked, while his
voice trembled with passion, ''does
that man affirm that he has not given
me just cause for offense?
THAT Is what I say" called out Mr..
Castex from where he stood, with 3
strong French accent.
'Then you lie, sir!'' deliberately re-
torted Bostock.9
Indeed! That's very good. You will
observe now, mesSieurs, there is rea-
son to fight, if there has not been be-
fore"
The seconds silently assented, and
recharged the pistols. AS they handed
them back, they saw something in the
faces of the principals that predicted
another result this time. The steamer
had advanced to a point nearly oppO-
site where they stood, and the slow
deep coughing of her pipes seemed to
emphasize the scene.
Again the word was given; both pis-
tolls spoke together. As the smoke
hoated off, Bostock was seen standing
upright. Castex lay his full length
upon the ground.
Both doctors were instantly kneeling
by him. He never stirred. A small
hole in the forehead showed where the
bullet had traversed the brain.
Mr. Bostock looked at the group.
sis he dead?" he asked.
His friend came over to where he
stood.
''Yes,' he said.
Mr.. Bostock's face was getting
white, and an expression of pain
crossed it. His friend caught him as
he was settling down to the ground.
One of the doctors hurried over and
laid the sufferer on the grass. g
''He hit me the last time," said
Bostoclx, family. Look at the chest"
The doctor tore open vest and shirt
and found the bullet hole. He inserted
the probe. Then he administered a
stimulant.
"How is it, doctor?" the wounded
man asked.
''I don't wish to alarm You, sir; but
this is serious
Under the temporary influence Of the
stimulant Mr.. Bostock sat up.

muttered the other. ''Wel1, colneon."
Messrs. Basnet and Dorion crossed
the road; the others followed them.
The first rays of the sun glanced
through the trees; the delicious har-
mony of birds shook the air; the throb-
bling of the engines and splash of the
paddle-wheels of boat ascending the
river were painfully distinct.
Mr.. Dorion thrust a small stick into
the turf and deliberately measured Of

same way. O

The other tossed up coin. '.'Headsr'

place.

The person addressed walked to one
of the sticks; his adversary walked to
the othep Contrasting them as they
thus stoSd face to face, Bostock ap-
peared Gall, broad shouldered and
ruddy; Castex slighter in buia, sallow
