of the state of Mississippi and to perform
his duty under that law as he understood
it.

Washington, Sept. 5.-Populists here
are claiming that great results will fol-
low in the western states from Senator
Jones detection from the Republican
party They claim that Idaho will 60
for the populists, but Senator Dubois,
who leaves for the west TO might, denies
this, and also asserts that neither him
self nor any other western senator
will follow Mr. Jones' example The
other states which will elect Senators this
fall, and which, it is claimed, will be more
or less affected by the action of Senator
Jones, are Colorado, Montana aud Wyo-
ming 10 is within the range of posi-
bility that all Of those states may have
legislatures controlled by populists, and
instead Of sending back republicans, will
elect popullst senator's Colorado has
already been carried by the popuists
The members Of the House of Representa-
tives from Colorado belong TO that party
In Wyoming the legislature chosen two
years ago failed to elect a successor to
Senator Warren because the popuiists
held the balance Of power and a onbina-
tioD could not be formed between either
OF the parties, none having a majority of
the legislature. The same was true Of
Montana, where a successor to Senator
Sanders could not be chosen.
IL Is asserted by republican senators
that when congress reassembles, a motion
will be carried in the republican caucus
TO remove Mr. Jones from the finance COM
mittee and TO replace him by u republi-
can silver free coinage advocate. When
Jones colleague, Stewart, some time ago
announced his withdrawal from the Re
publican party he held place on the COM
mittee on appropriations. He was removed
and Teller put on in his place. The popu-
lists claim that with the election OF Till

sions TO their ranks as seem to them now
absolutely certain, they will hold the bal

publican majority In of years since 1876
is less than 1000. The general assembly

SHELL MOUND AND ARABIA.
The Academy of Science Holds an
Interesting Meeting.


The Academy of Science entertained
large and appreciative audience at their
regular monthly meeting last evening with
a double bill Theodore 81. Hittell related
many In :eresting legends and bits OF scen-
tifc deductions of his study of the recently
found shell mound in Alameda, and l.. A.
Shehadi, a Syrian student. told of the
Bedoun Arabs of Western Asia. Both
speakers were conversans with their re-
snective subjects and the result was highly
pleasing TO their listeners. who manifested
their appreciation with frequent applause.
Mr.. Hittell explained the origin of the
historical she'll mound in Alameda, which
was built from shells of oysters. covering
an extensive area. Recently while exca-
waiting IN the mound quantity of Indian
curiOs were uDearthed, among which was
a small tubelke stone. Its peculiar con-
sructioD somewhat puzzled the hnders,
and they brought it to Mr.. Hittell, who,
after examining the object, pronounced IL
an Indian medicine tube.
S. 4. Shehadi appeared before the audi
ence attlred IN Bedouin costume Ihe
garment, which is purely of an Arabian
character, was greatly admired, and served
TO some extent TO more strongly empha-
size the speakers descriptive address.
He related at length the customs of his
people, and went into the minutest details
in bringing out their hidden traits, which
are seldom narrated in books or told in
history.
Mr.. Shehadi Is graduate from the
Syrian Protestant College at Beirut,
Syria, and speaks the English language in
fluent manner.
He was assisted in his address by u
Manalim Bitraus. who was attired in the
Hardy costume of Arabia and played a
native instrument, the bisauch, which,
though hardly in accord with the Euro
pean school of music in as far as the
melody was concerned. served as pleas
ing illustration of the subject of Syrian
harmony.
