sible for the existence of the A. 7. A.,
pointing 10 the tendency Of many Catho-
lie priests. particularly those of foreign
birth, to discuss pGblic questions with
religious prejudices.s He denounced the
association by declaring it was founded on
unpatriotic and dishoaoFab.e principles.
and called on ell Catholics 10 pay no
attention TO the movement. Toward the
close OF the address many of the audience
Ieft the hail, those remaining being mostly
Catholics. When DR.. McGiynn had con-
ciuded Alfred n. Martin. who announced
himself national deputy Of the A. p. A,
assembled the platform and said very ex-
ci,edly: "Dr. MeGiynn 10 ell wrong. The
principles and teachings OF the Catholic
church are diameiricaily opposed to every
American industry" The speaker got no

ALASKA MINERS IN HARD luck.



San fRAxcrsco Oct. s.-Ths United

washington, Sept. 13.-An account of
the scientific exploratio of the ruins
of Niffer, near ancient Babylon, which
is being made by American scientists,
under the auspices of the Babylonian
exploration fund, which was sub
scribed by Philadelphians in 1888, has
been furnished the state department
by Minister Terrell
The work of excavation began in
1887 by DR.. Hilpricht From $50 to 25O
Arabs are constantly employed. In
the number of tablets, inscribed vases
and in the value of cuniform texts, the
American enterprise is said to rival
the explorations of Layard at Nineveh
DR.. Hilpricht, the distinguished Asse-
grian scholar of the University of
Pennsylvania, remains at the museum
ment to translate inscriptions and ar
range the tablets and other relics
dating back to 1000 B. C.
Many tons of tablets, sarcophagi and
the like have already arrived at the
museum at Constantinople, and the
sultan, in recognition of the service of
the American professors, has promised
the University of Pennsylvania shall
receive one duplicate of each tablet.
Minister Terrell says this enterprise
has revealed an antiquity of the hui
man race nearly ten centuries older
than science had knowledge of before.
The religion, government, habits of
life and to a great extent the customs
Of men who lived 1000 B. C. are re-
vealed by the inscriptions which are
now being translated here and ar
ranged by Professor Hilpricht
Thus far 10000 inscribed tablets of
cay and stone have been discovered,
barring inscriptions which include
p1. Pmises to pay debts, deeds, contracts
and records of important public and
private events.

UNDERTAKES AS HUMORIsTs.
People Can Not Afford to Call In
Doctors, and as Result There is
Less Sale For Collins

Less SAFE fOf COD1nS.
Chicago, Sept. 13.-Coffins are going
down according to the statements of the
grave-faced men who are now in solemn
convention in Chicago. This fact will
hardly be hailed with delight by the great
and dying public; nor is it a source of joy
to the casket manufacturers. hut according
to these gentlemen it results indirectly
from the hard times and the new tariff
bill. Secretary Richards sadly admits,
however, that it costs less to die and do it
decently and in good form than ever be-
fore.
This association, which meets three times
each year, has corner on caskets. 1t has
about sixty members. whose footprints
are found In cemeterial sands from Boston
to Albuquerque. Its yearly output is the
basis for the life insurance tables, but it's
members complain Sorely that the trade
is all cut to pieces. The rates for regula-
ton collins have not been honestly lived
UP to in many cases; prices have been
cut between rival concerns and those on
the inside have kept mum as to the special
inducements offered. In some localities
combination ordinary stained caskets hav-
ing been substituted for the strictly first
class, and retailers have also been COM
PEELED to carry the large assortments they
bought before the crisis, the delegates
claiming that the rate of mortality has
been less for the year than ever before.
President Hamilton explains the lack
of death ON the ground oflgeneral poverty.
He said that the times were so stringent
that people could not afford to call in
physicians when they had an attack of
indisposition. AS a result the sick re-
covered and the association is helpless
unless they can pool interests with the
doctors. Furthermore, the tariff is going
to make living so cheap men cannot afford
to die, and the president fails to see why
the war in China will boom the coffin
factories. Caskets do not come in the re-
ciprocity clauses and the lack of trans
portation facilities will prevent any great
! shipments to the east All the factories
have been busy during the dullness, until
er ough boxes are now stacked in the
\ warehouses to last year. Consequently
the cut in collins.
Great inducements are to be extended
to cash customers. This concluded last
nights meeting and after a decision to
spend the time after luncheon in some
pleasant and congedial advertisement, the
association accepted an engrossed invita-
ton to pass the balance of the evening at
| the morgue.

An Unlikely story.

Shanghai, Sept. 13.-News from Fusan
confirming the statement that practi-
cally the whole of southern Corea had
risen against the Japanese, reports the
wreck of Japanese force of 1000 men
who attempted to march from Fusan to
Seoul. A portion of the force was COM
PEELED to return to the treaty port, only
800 men getting there. Two thousand
fresh troops have arrived at Fusan to
guard the Japanese settlement against
a feared attack by armed Tonghaks.
General Lin Lung Flu, a Black Flag
chief of Amman, has received orders to
depart for Formosa as assistant to the
imperial highway commissioner.
A great conflagration is reported to
have occurred at Chung King on Aug
ust Is. About thirty persons are
known to have persisted and it is pro-
bable the list of dead will prove much
heavier. The property loss is estimated
at 10,000,00 taels. Two thousand build
ings were destroyed, including three
temples. No foreign houses were
burned.
