The Question of Ivory.

The ivory question is important, be-
cause ivory is the wealth of the slave
trader far more than are his slaves.
Ivory is now found almost exclusively
in the Congo state. The elephant is
exterminated in Uganda and in Nyasa-
land. Some 500 tons of ivory reach
London yearly, but the supply is de-
creasing. 1t is estimated that $4,000
elephants are being killed every year,
and if this is true even the Congo
herds cannot long survive such
slaughter.
1t is generally agreed that as the
she elephant has only one calf every
two or three years the destruction is
going on much faster than the breed.
ing. Meanwhile it is to be remem.
bered that ivory is essentially a slave
trade product and comes from the
land of Tippu lib. The sale of arms
and ammunition must be prevented
from all sides. The sale of spirits
offers less temptation to the European
trader, because these Arabs are Mos
lens and do not drink. -Edjn6urgI

A Valuable Discovery.

Mexican advices announce that a
discovery of a great scientific interest
has been made in excavations being
carried on in the district of Tlaxiaco,
state of Oaxaca.
A number of small images, formed
in metal, were uncovered by workmen
digging in one of the Oldest ruins.
These images are said to represent
people of oriental appearance-in
Chinese or japanese dress-some Of
them resembling Buddhist priests in
their robes of sacrifice. They bear
hieroglyphics of unknown characters,
and are elaborately wrought with fine
art lines shown in every curve. The
images are of gold, either wholly or
in part, and are coated with some IN
known enamel, which has preserved
them splendidly. They are to be sent
to the city of Mexico and placed at
the disposal of the scientific world for
further study and discussion.
The find is believed to be the most
important of the year in the domain
of antiquities, and preparations are
now being made, l understand, to con-
duct complete exploration OF the
TlaXiaco ruins for further evidence of
this ancient civilization, which -four
ished in southern Mexico and Guate-
mala centuries before the arrival of
the Spanish conNuerors.

where they had been giving an imita-

In his flight he passed cigar store,
where several baseball cranks and 9TH

everybody if he catches that train, "

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-The Chron-

under date of Jan. %, says the news
received by the Mariposa on January
20 was considered highly favorable to
the annexationists and pleasing to the
provisional government The. correspon-
dence received by the government
seems to indicate disposition on the
part of the administration to make a
scapegoat of Minister Willis, owing to
his error in not breaking with the ex-
queen when she first refused to grant
amnesty to her former subjects. Pre-
vious to the arrival of the Mariposa,
the royalists were in high glee, owing
to a report said to be made on the
authority of the British minister that
a special vessel would bring instruc-
tons to restore the queen to the throne.
The belief was so strong that arrange
ments We're made by the royalists to
celebrate the occasion by torchlight

The claim is made by the royalists
that letters have been received from
Tanlmany leaders, who declare that
body will support the stand taken by

in the withdrawal of Senator Hills OPP

1t is said that Paul Neuman, the

into Kilrush in a disabled condition,

ger who has been allowed ashore up
to the present, in an interview COM
plains of Captain Mann's refusal to
allow the passengers to land. The
passengers. Copeland says, protested,
but the only reply they got was that
they were aboard for a voyage and not
for leisure The Steerage passengers
came into the saloon in order to OBJ
tain signatures for a board of trade
survey, and claiming damages. The
passengers were ordered out of the
saloon before they could obtain the
signatures required.
Describing the voyage from the
Clyde, Copeland said the sea was ex-
tremely rough and a. leak was diseov-
erred on the Corean when she was
about 500 miles out. Eventually, there
were five feet of water in the engine
room, and ten feet of water in the
stoker's room. The passengers and
crew had the greatest difficulty in
keeping the water down. The pas
sengers worked over twenty hours a
day for three days, working in gangs

wished to land and would hold the
company liable for the loss and delay
which had incurred. Captain Mann
insisted upon his signing an agree

TOO HORRTBLE ron BELIEF.
Stories Told About CrueIties in a
Russian Prison.

London, Feb. ga dispatch to the
Standard from st. Petersburg says:
A government commission has been
appointed to investigate the alleged
scandals in the convict prison at Onor,
on the island. The Sakhalien has is
sued report which unfolds a terrible
tale of suffering and crime and shows
that in this prison there have been
many instances of merciless beatings,
the looping off of fingers and arms by
sabre strokes, while cannibalism under
stress of famine has been a common
occurrence. A murder, followed by
cannabalism, was frequent with the
sole object Of ending a miserable ex-
istence.
During 1892, there was an almost
continuous string of convicts carry
ing the cOrpses Of conVictS from Onor
to RikovOsky. In nearly every case
the bodies We're so mutilated they pre-
scented a pitiful spectacle. The bodies
were inferred without the slightest in
quiry as to how the wounds were in
flicted. No doctor ever visited the
prison and the cOnvictS who perform
that work, on account of sickness
were placed on half diet, and when it
became apparent they would be un-
able 10 perform further duty, were
dispatched with a revolver and reg
istered on the books as having died
from disease. The principal author Of
the atrocities, it is asserted, is a form
er convict named Shakoff, who was a
favorite Of the district commandment,
and promoted as inspector.

when they applied for the use of her
she had not finished taking on her
cargo and would have to return to
Colon for that purpose. 1t is about a
days trip $3.50 niles from Colon to
Roncador reef. 1t is expected. there
fore. the Kearsarge crew will be safely
and comfortably on board some time
tomorrow, and will be back in Colon
on Sunday 1t is expected they will

when she starts on her regular "trip.

which the Kearsarge was the flagship,

| The last naval disaster suffered by
/ the United states was the loss
of the Dispatch off Assateugue
shoals, Virginia, on October 10,
1891 No lives were lost at that time;
in fact, the United States has been
notably free of disasters involving
great loss of life, compared with other
navies Of the world.
The Huron went to pieces off Organ
inlet, N c., in a terrible hurricane on
Nov. IS, 1870. Fourteen lives were lost.
The last notable disaster in which
the United States has been involved
was the hurricane at Samoa, in which
the Trenton, Vandalia, and Nipsic,
were wrecked and 145 lives, in all,
Host This included the loss from all
the vessels at Apia. The disaster oc-
CURED on March Is, 1889, and three
German ships also were lost on Feb.
lis, 1883. The Ashuelot went ashore on
a rock off the coast of China and
eleven men were lost.
1t is expected the loss Of the Kear-
sarge will result in placing light on
Roncador bank, a result the United
States naval department has earnest
ly sought to bring about for several
years, but without success, owing to a
wish of this government that other
nations bear a share in the expense.
