Third Avenue Railroad Company for
permission to extend its line for a dis
lance of about eight miles above one
Hundred and Twenty-nfth street and
south Of that street to one Hundred
and sixteenth street, was postponed to-
day until April Is at 10 o'clock.
An application for the same privilege
was rejected last year. What induce
m"nts have been used to change the
minds Of the Aldermen and leaders of
Tnnmany Hall is not known, but things
have been fixed" So II is said, and the
request will be granted.

SAMOAN CHIEFS SENTENCED.
Tried and Punished for Spreading
the Rebellion.

LONDON. April "a despatch from
Berlin to the Daily News says that pri-
vate advices received there from Samoa
state that seventeen chiefs were sum
moned before Chief Justice lde and
Obliged to withdraw all their complaints
against the Government. The Chiefs,
however, stuck to their protest against
the disarming Of the natives.
The Government specially accused
ALPHA and other Chiefs of the Aana
tribe of spreading rebellion. The Court
pronounced "A sentence Of two years inn
"prisonment at hard labor against ALPHA,
and imposed mes ranging from $50 to
500 on the other Chiefs.
1t was ordered tina all those rom
demned to pay fines should b. detained
until the judgments against them were
satisfied. The adviCcS show that the
latest disturbances were caused by the
Chief FeesahO of Atna, who melted the
Atna and Aana people to fight against
the Government. An attempt was made
to arrest Feesano, but this proved fruit
less, as the other Chiefs refused to sur
render him.
Many men-of-wnr will he needed to dis
arm the natives. The economic aspect Of
Samoa Is bad. There is no Copra being
dried. CoCk-fiEh:ing and criCket-playing
are almost the only occupations of the
SamoaES.

james Gordon bennett is negotiating

"Will you Indicate the price asked for
the yaCht?' was asked.
Nobody Is entitled to such intorma-
ton" Mr.. Belmont replied.
In case the yacht Is sold. Mr.. Belmont
said, the purchase price would not be
to do so.
In case Mr.. Bennett buys the yacht.
1t is understood that he will take her
across the ocean and race her at Nice, In
the three days regatta next year, in
which he recently offered 1000 for prizes.
1t Is probable also that the Nigilant
and Nalkyrir would meet in English
waters to settle the "laim OF Lord Dun
raven that his craft would be the better
ore in til" stiff hrr"zes always prevail
ing on English yachting courses.
In yachting circles II Is generally

VANDERBILT CAN PASS NOW
Third Avenue bridge Draw Wild
cncd for the Big TuEhoat.

Workmen on the Third avenue tenn
porary bridge across the Harlem River
have to-day widened the draw several
feet by saving away timbers on the
south walk of the draw. This was
made necessary to release the tughoat
Vanderbilt, that has been imprisoned
in the Harlem River near MaComb's
Dam Bridge. and which will now he
noated through the draw OH the first
calm day.
The Vanderbilt is the widest of the
Iron Steamboat C~ompany's tugs. Her
width is 60 feet, while the span of the
new bridge Is only 81 feet across.
As to the person who Is responsible for
this stat" of things. Contractor |. a.. Hop
per said to-day that the War Depart
ment approved the plan providing for n
GO-foot span. The city authorities. to
avoid any difficulty, added one foot. 1t
was found hat wen this would leave
the span too narrow to allow the Van
dcrbilt to pass through. Mr.. Hopper
thinks hat there will be no further
trouble. and that the big tugboat will
float through easily at high tide.
1t will not be necessary to remove
any part of the bridge foundations
The timbers that were removed today
will be replaced after the Vanderbilt
has passed through. The expense, which
will he trining, Mr.. Hopper thinks will
be refunded by the War Department.

PARIS, April 5.-The explosion of a

The Walls of Jerusalem.

The lofty wall of Jerusalem and the
massive towers of the citadel are i'm
mediately before us. We are on the
outer slope of Mount Zion, the sanctu-
ary and the abode of David. The pom
derous blocks which form the lower
strata of the wall might have been
shaped and put in place by some pre-
historic race of giants. More than al
most anything else to be found around
Jerusalem, or within, this wall bears
AN appearance Of great antiquity. We
can easily believe that its foundations
were laid in the time of David, though
its upper portions are nnquestionably
modern.
The books vary. One says it was the
work of Sultan Suleiman in the six
teenth century, another that it was
erected much earlier, and my guide, a
most intelligent and well informed Jew
of Hungarian origin, told me that it
was built by the crusaders after they
had got possession, for the purpose of
protecting the inhabitants against the
rascaily Arabs, who would ride up in
small parties, rob some rich family and
be off with their plunder before any
thing could be done to stop them. But,
however this may be, the wall, from
16 to 20 feet in height, fully incloses
the town, and although it could soon be
knocked to pieces by a 10 FOUNDER can
non it stands in good order, solid enough
for all peaceful purposes, and perfectly
separates the city from the country
about it.-Charles A. Dana in Nc

An English gentleman residing in
Calcutta brought an action against a
firm of Paris pastry cooks and cOnfec-
TONERS under rather interesting ciTcum-
stances. The plaintiff WAS abO.lt to be
married and ordered what has been call
ed a phenomenal wedding cake from
the defendants. ASsun OF $l2G was
paid down for the cake on delivery.
The colossal and expensive article OF
confectionery was packed by the plain
tiff Is order, and he took it with him to
Calcutta. On opening the case contain
ing the cake when he arrived i'll India,
the Englishman found that he had lit
orally nothing but a shapeless mass of
crumbs. The splendid gateau had been
hopelessly bruised and broken during
the voyage.
An action was then brought against
the Paris firm for sum of $135, which
included, besides the price paid for the
cake, the cost of packing and transport.
The defendants maintained before the
Paris tribunal of commerce that they
had no more responsibility after they
had delivered over the cake to the per-
son who ordered 1t. 1t was true that
they recommended a packer, but that
expert acted under the orders of another
individual, who had been selected by the
plaintiff to superintend the operation.
The tribunal decided in favor of the de-
fendants.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Egypt's Monuments.

Recent discoveries in Egypt and Chal-

ments there carry us back about 5000
years befole the Christian era, they do
not constitute the limit of our sources
of history. They indicate the origin of
these people to have been in western
Persia. Kurdistap and Luristan show
more ancient remains than have been
studied in any part of the world. The
old Babylonian civilization and Chinese
civilization both come probably from
this region, and it may yet yield Us
knowledge of times far earlier than any
that We know of.-Chicago Tribune.

JAPAN'S "UNKNOWABLE FIRE."

Professor Hisatomo Is Attempting to Solve
the Interesting Phenomenon.
1t has long been regarded as an mex
plicable mystery that a luminous OBJ
ject, known as shiranu-hi' literally
meaning unknowable fire''-is occa-
sionally seen at night, especially in
cloudy weather, on the sea in Tsukushi
bay. The Superstltious ascribe this
unusual phenomenon to the spirits of
those lost at sea. But, according to the
vernacular press, the mystery is to be
solved ere long.
Professor Nakayama Hisatomo of the
Kumanoto higher middle school, who is
now investigating the thing, is of the
opinion that phosphorus may possibly
be the cause of this luminosity, which
may be emitted from animalcula in the
water. He has secured some water from
the place where the supposed fire makes
its appearance and examined it with a
microscope, with the result that he
found number of animalcula in it.
1t needs, however, a more complete ex-
animation before finally coming to a
determination on the subject, and with
this end in view he is stated to be now
pursuing his researches.
1T may be added that Mr.. Kimotsuki
Of the navy, who made an investiga-
ton of sea currents some time ago, re-
ported that the kuro-shiwo. or the
black current, which flows from the
neighborhood of the Philippine archi-
pelago to the southern coast of Japan,
ia OF
world, and consequently it may contain
minute animal life giving off phos-
phorescence.-Japa Mail.
