convention providing for commission
to consider the amount of damages to be
paid by the United States for seizing 20

An Adjournment Tuesday.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-If possible the
senate wore a more deserted aspect than
yesterday, despite the fact that one re-
publican, Higgins, and two democrats,
Camden and Butler, had returned.
George obtained indefinite leave of alb
sence for his colleague, McLaurin, on
account of the serious illness of his fam
lily. Harris, without testing the presence
of quorum, moved the senate proceed
to the consideration of executive busi-
ness. This was agreed to.
After executive session the senate
adopted the house. resolution for ad-
journment Tuesday.
Blackburn tried to get up his resolu-
tion instructing the committee on rules
to sit during recess for the purpose of a
revision of the rules. Blanchard object
ed, and single objection kills any mo-
ton. Blanchard fears the rules will be
10 revised that debate will be cut off and
the free sugar bill passed at the next
session. The senate adjourned until
Monday.

Erxpt,s Precious Ral,o..

For many years strong protest has
been made to the Egyptian government
by antiquarians and hosts of other in
terested people the world over against
the continued housing of the priceless
government collection of Egyptian an
tiquities in the old wooden museum at
Ghizeh. The collection comprises the
choicest of all the relics that have been
discovered in Egypt. 1t is, and has
been for many years, exposed to the
greatest possible danger from fire.
The government has hitherto declined
to remedy the matter, but a few days
ago the council of ministers agreed to
the appropriation of seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars for the
building of a new. fireproof museum at
Cairo to contain the collection.

knights OF Pythias Encampment.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a Washington
expects to entertain 100000 visitors
next week, during the encampment of
the Knights of Pythias. Already people
from other places are beginning to ar
rive. Cut rates on excursion tickets to
enable the Knights and friends to attend
the great celebration went into effect
Tuesday, and it is reported thousands
are taking advantage of the opportunity
to visit Washington. Everything points
to successful encampment. The citi-
zens have contributed literally, and the
hotels and boarding houses have coop
Grated with the committees of arrange
ments in making reasonable rates.
Nearly every business house along tina
line of march is decorated, and the city
presents a gay appearance, strongly
reminiscent of inauguration time. On
the grounds of the Washington monu-
ment 1700 tents are erected, and in them
members of the uniformed comma nds
will sleep and eat.

day stands at 122,7l0,OOO, gain OF

''While making tour of the conti-

Democrat man, IT was shown through
the Bank of France. The silver coin is
heaped up in barrels and placed in
cellars resembling the spacious ware
house of a brewery, each barrel holding
$4,000 francs in 5-franc pieces, and
weighing about GOO pounds. There
are at times 500 barrels piled up to the
very crown of the arches and rising
much higher than mans head. The
visitor walks through a long alley of
these barrels for some time until he
comes to large, stone-foored apart

these appeared not to have been
touched for years. was told they

The treasure in these leaden reservoirs
is kept perfectly dry and free from any

called by the strike commission today.
"You have said," said Commissioners
Herman, f'that your road has no black

ayers Association has blacklist2"
''No such thing as blacklist exists
among the railroads, to my knowledge, !"
was the answer. "There was, however,

the General Managers Association. 1t
contained the names of the most active
of the strikers, and has been, l think.
submitted to the various roads by the
association. It cannot properly be called
a black list, however" ST. John was
asked to tell what he knew of the story
that all the railroads had adopted q
uniform scale of wages. ''The rumor is
untrue" he said. ''I believe something
of the sort was submitted to the Gem
eral Managers Association, but was not
universally adopted. In fact, it was
rejected by all but one road, and on
that line put into partial effect"
John M. Egan, strike manager of the
General Managers Association, was
questioned regarding his duties during
the strike. He said it was his duty to
receive reports from the various roads
of the progress of the troubles and SUBJ

From an ancient account book found

1897 tobacco was sold by the yard in

one shilling two and one-half pence a
pound. A days ordinary wages would
pay for about four pounds of nails.

RoAD-MAkING in THE COUNTRY
Efforts OF the Agricultural Department
Meeting with Success.

Efforts of the Agricultural Department.
Meeting with Success.
The inquiry being made by the Agri-
cultural Department into the system of
road management and road-making
methods in the United States is meet
ing with favorable results. Among
other things the cooperation of prac-
tically all of the principal railroads in
reducing freight rates on road mate
rials has been secured. The edition,
1900 copies, of bulletin No. l on "Re-
cent Road Laws of the Various States"
has been exhausted and reprint has
been ordered. Information is being
gathered for further publications for
which many applications are now on
file. Concerning some of the results
reached, General Roy Stone, who is in
charge of the investigation, said:
1T appears that while many short
sections of good highways are being
built in various parts of the country,
with a gratifying general cheapness in
cost and freedom from burdensome
taxation, yet in some of the States a
serious setback to the movement has
occurred through the failure of legis-
lation intended to advance IL and relied
upon for general results. The optional
country road laws passed in 1893 have
nowhere proved acceptable to the
county boards, except with two counties
in Michigan. 1t is clear, therefore,
that these laws are either in advance
of public education or at variance with
the public Judgment In the States con-
cerned, and that a new departure must
be taken to insure any prompt and
general advance in highway construc-
tion in those States.
Fortunately it has been able to
point to the remarkable success of the
State aid and local option law of New
Jersey, and to commend it with certain
notifications to the consideration of
other States. That law proceeds upon
the theory that while the country as a
whole may be unwilling TO embark in
road building, those smaller communi-
ties which are themselves willing to
contribute fairly toward the improve
ment of their highways may justly de-
mand county and State aid in carrying
on such improvements"
