roo FEW OFFICES.

Claimed Most Western and Southern
States Are short Of Their Quota.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.--In the last
appropriation bill, providing for the
blue book. which gives the list of per-
SONS holding positions in the different de-
partments, a provision was inserted re-
quiring that q list of employees by states
be furnished. This provision has been
carried out in the book just published.
Representative Houck of Tennessee
has made a comparison of these figures
with the census of 1890, showing the
number Of offices each state would be
entitled to if according to the popula.
ton. His object is to show
that many states. the South in
particular has not d just proportion.
His figures show that the States of
Alabama Arkansas, Florida. Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina. Tennessee, Texas and Virgins
have but 2,545 persons in Office, about
800 less than the District of Columbia
Mr.. Houck thinks the civil service com
mission should make no more certificates
from states which have a full quota, and
that those which have more than their
share should be speedily reduced.
Tt is quite likely that an amendment
will be offered to the legislative, execu.
tive and judicial appropriation bill
directing that the apportionment Of
Offices be equalized according to tn,
population of states.

Those Found at Oregon Were Genuine,
Hut Not Valuable.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 11.-Special Agent
George f. Kuntz of the geological sur
vey has sent to DR.. David T. Day, chief
of the mineral division, a re-
port ON two recent diamond finds. He
says: I'm October, 1898, a small boy
while playing on a farm that had been
under cultivation for 40 years, located
near Oregon, Wis, picked up a small
semi-transparent pebble from a bank of
clay that contained a large number of
quartz pebbles. The stone was taken to
Prot. w. I'll. Hobbs of the university of
Wisconsin at Madison, and it was found
to be a genuine diamond. 1t was sent
TO New York for further investigation
and proved TO be an elongated dedeca-
podal crystal weighing 3-S carats. Its
color is slightly grayish green. This,
however, is only superficial, and it will
undoubtedly be when cut a white stone,
although not of great value, as it con.
tains some minute specks in the center
and has a pronounced flaw ON one side.
| This find Is particularly interesting in
connection with the finding of three
small diamonds at Blue Greek. Wis, il
1890. Quite recently . diamond wa
found neal the Kings mountains which
weighed "a carats, 1t is OF a ligh'
canary color and has a remarkably
brilliant surface"

B, Tyrrell, of the dominion geological

bers of wild animals in that desolate re-
gion: lyon will hardly believe me when

veritable sea of reindeer. l should
estimate there were several hundred
thousand in that herd. 1t was the great
est sight / ever witnessed. I had an I'M
INSTRUCTED view for three miles and the
whole tract was covered with reindeer.
When seen singly we had to shoot them
at frem 200 to 800 yards. In herds we
could get up within 100 yards. The

TRAIN

Two Attempts to Ditch the Frisco Pas
ssnger Train Near Springfield, MO.
SPRINGFIELD, No., Jan. i6.-Within
the past week two attempts have been
made to wreck the Frisco night passen-
get train at Aurora, a small town 30
miles west OF this place. The first at
tempt was made about a week ago,
when q freight train was derailed by a
misplaced switch. Sunday night, as the
passenger on the Frisco reached the
running switches, just before getting
into the town, the engine, tender and
mail car were thrown off the track by q
loosened rail. Fortunately 20 one was
injured, beyond receiving a good shak-
ing up. The two wrecks occurring
within such a short time and at the same
place, indicate to the officials that an
organized gang of train wreckers are at
work. The officers are diligently search
ing for q clue to work ON.

interview the chief executive of this
