ERRORS in PUNCTUATION.
May Destroy the Force of Several Clauses
OF the TariR Bill.

May Destroy the Force Of Several Clauses
Of the Tariff Bill.
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE discovery
Of errors in the new tariff bill which
may result in suits to be settled in the
courts, brings out the Importance of
punctuation in legislation. 1t will be
remembered that there was an error
In the confectionery schedule of the
Mckinley law which made n great
deal of difference in the amount of
duty to be paid on candies. This was
due to the misplacing OF parenthesis.
In the bill now before the President
the fact that semicolon appears
where it was intended that a colon
should be placed has already caused
quite a controversy as to whether dia-
monds shall be admitted free or will
have to pay duty Of 25 per cent. for
cut, and 10 per cent. for uncut stones.
In the same bill and in the free list
there is a semicolon after the words
Seeds" where there should be a colon,
and IL the diamonds are admitted free
under this error then everything that
could come under the head of seeds
will also be admitted free when 1t Is
Intended that only a few varieties
named in the bill shall be included.
The assertion is made that the con-
struction placed upon the law by the
treasury will not govern the admission
of these articles but the intent of the
law will govern, but the courts proba-
bly, will be called upon to construe the
law and the construction of the courts
will stand after a test case has been
made and decided. 1t Is also said that
corrections can be easily made, but 1t
was found to be quite difficult case
to get punctuation errors corrected
when the Mckinley law was to be
changed in this particular, and 1t is
quite probable that there will be con-
siderable difficulty encountered in this
case.
The proposition to make these
changes is very likely to be loaded
down with other tariff amendments.
There are senators who will make an
effort to present a free sugar bill on
every proposition that comes up to
amend the tariff bill and even to cor
rect these punctuation errors, and also
the proposition to make that mistake
will allow alcohol to be used in the
arts free admission. 1t will be found
to be very difficult to correct any Of the
errors in the bill.

Catholic Teacher. May BE Employed.

Ebensburg, Pa, Aug. 2O.-Judge Bar
kcr to-day handed down a decision In
the suit brought by w. T. Kerr, state
councillor of the Junior o. U. A. NJ.
against the board of directors OF tho
Gallitsln school to prevent the employ
ment of Catholic sisters wearing their
religious garbs as teachers.
The Judge decides that sisters may be
employed as teachers. that they may
be attired In the garb of their order,
and that they may be addressed by
pupils by their religious names, but
refuses to allow the Catholic catechism
being taught. The costs were divided.

ARMY CHANGES.
Three Well Known Recruitl
Are Wiped Out.


Washington, Aug. 17.-By an oru-,
issued by the secretary of war to-day
the three great army recruiting de-
pots at David's Island, New York har-
Dor; Columbus, Ohio, and Jefferson
Barracks, Mo-, are wiped out and in
their places will stand three Large mil
itnry posts.
The department has had this change
under consideration for some time
past, the scheme originating with Ad-
jutant General Ruggle. Heretofore
the men picked up at the small re-
cruiting stations about the country
have been sent in small squads in
charge of n sergeant at these three
central recruiting depots where they
were ready for an assignment to some
regiment in active service.
The department has concluded that
these green recruits will become pro-
ficicnt soldiers much quicker If sent to
ioin and train with the veterans at
the different posts, and that is why
the change is made. The transforma-
tion of the recruiting depots into army
posts will also be in line with the ac-
ccpted policy of concentrating n good
force of regulars at places near the
great cities. In place of about $50 re-
cruits, each of the new posts will have
IA Derlnanent garrison of about 300
men, and In the case of TWO Of them

MINES IN A VOLCANO.
An Attempt to Work Them on Huge Po-
pOcltape 1.

Mexico City. Mex. Aug. 20.-The gov
ernment expedition of scientists now
on the summit of Popocatapetl is max
ing good progress in its surveys and
study of the famous volcano. The al
titude is 1903 Spanish feet above the
level of the sea and the circumference
of the crater Is 1900 feet.
An elaborate study is being made of
the smoking vents of the volcano and
the general deposits in the crater as
well us the geological formation of
the mountain and the botanical speci-
mems encountered on its lofty slopes.
Donald Stewart returned last night
from the expedition, with which he
spent several days for the purpose of
looking into the feasibility of construct
ing wire tramway from the base of
the volcano to the sulphur mines with
in the crater. He thinks 1t possible to
construct tramway for freight and
passengers, but has not entirely stud
led the obstacles to be encountered
and the difficulties to be overcome.
The tramway would be over ten miles
in length, and the longest line of the
kind of the world.

Powder Found on Railway Tracks Nea

Powder Found ON Railway Tracks Near
Georgetown.
Denver, Aug 2O.--A special dispatch
from Georgetown, Colo, to the Denver
Time-Sun says:
What was evidently an attempt to
blow up Il train on the Colorado Cen
trail railway was made yesterday af-
ternoon about half a mile from this
place. The discovery was not made
until this morning, when George De-
laney. who was coming down the
track, noticed some giant powder near
the rails. He investigated the matter
and found four large sticks of giant
powder which had been crushed thin
as paper by rhe weight of passing
train. A big excursion had gone over
the road late yesterday, and this is sup
posed to be the train that crushed the
powder.
1t is supposed the powder became
wet and could not be exploded. The
station agent here. Mr.. Turrell, was
at once notified of the attempted out
rage.
The place where the powder was
found on the track is about half a mile
from the depot. No clue has been
found as to the guilty person, and the
city authorities are endeavoring to
keep the matter quiet so as to locate
the person guilty of the act. 1t was a
miracle that the train was not blown
to pieces, as the strength of the pow
der would have been sufficient to do SO.

WORLDS FAIR AWARDS.
Thatchcr's Bureau Has Nearly Finished
Its Work.

Mr.. Thatcher's bureau of awards
has very nearly completed its work.
OF the awards made by the juries in
the several departments 22,O5O have
been reviewed and ratified, leaving
about LOO yet to be disposed of, and
it Is expected that they will be finished
this month, or by Sept. 10 Mt the lat
est, when the bureau will dissolve.
The bureau of engraving and printing
has nearly finished the plates for the
diplomas, and expects to begin print
ing them by Sept. 1. 1t is proposed to
include in each diploma the text of the
award, and Mr.. Thatcher is quite puZ-
zled as to the best way to make the
inscriptions. 1t would take long
time to write them in with pen, and
it would be very expensive. 1t has
been proposed to use n typewriter. but
the parchment paper upon which the
diplomas will be printed cannot be
handled very well OH machine. The
most practical method seems to be to
print them in with type and a press,
and Mr.. Thatcher has applied to the
secretary of the treasury for a1 order
to have the work done at the bureau
of engraving and printing. The ques-
ton of cost seems to stand in the way,
and Comptroller Bowler has been ask
ed to investigate the subject and de-
eide whether the expense of printing
in the awards can be paid for from the
appropriation of S1O3,OOO made by con-
gress for diplomas and medals. The
estimated cost of the medals is $53,-
900, and that of the diplomas 49,, 1000,
making Il total of SSS,0O0 and leaving
Il balance of $4,000 which could be
utilized in that way. If the printing
is not paid for out of this fund it will
have to be charged to the appropria-
tion for the bureau of awards, and
thus lessen the surplus to be paid over
to the local board at Chicago. The
dies for stamping the medals are now
being made at the mint in Philadel-
phia, and the work is very well along.

xclIowstouc Park Rulen.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-The new
rules and regulations governing the
Yellowstone National park were pro-
mulgated at the interior department
to-day. They are established under
authority conferred by the act of con-
gress of May last, and make num-
ber of important changes. Heretofore
there has been no actual legal authority
invested in the interior department to
confiscate the outfits of persons caught
hunting. killing or capturing birds or
wild animals in the park. BY the new
rules confiscation is authorized. Fire
arms will be permitted In the park only
on written permission of the superin-
tendent. Fishing in any other way
than hook and line is prohibited, as is
fishing for purposes of merchandise or
profit. Persons guilty of disorderiy
conduct or bad behavior. or who vio-
late any of the rules will be summarily
elected from the park. Penalties are
provided for lawlessness.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE policy to
be pursued In advancing the principles
of bimetallism was outlined Mt to-
days session of the American Bimetal-
lie league. Speeches We're made by
several congressman and by delegates
from various states.
Mr.. Bland characterized the silver
question as purely Il practical one,
and urged that the political battles
of the future be fought on the PROPOSE
ton that any change of basis must be
put in allegiance until the full restora-
ton of silver Is accomplished.
Representative Coffeen of Wyoming
referred to the money question us the
oycrshadowing issue before the coun-
try and advocated more money us the
only relief for general distress and de-
preston. Restoration of silver to all
the rights and privileges it had at the
mints before the decentralization act of
1873, he declared, was the first step
to be taken in all money reforms.
Mr.. Bryan of Nebraska also made Il
short speech, advocating unity of
action among bimetallists.
A declaration was adopted recount
ing the repeal of the gold standard,
which has been followed by steadily
increasing depression; that gold has
steadily increased in value; industries
are everywhere paralyzed; labor is
unsteady and precarious; business un-
improved and debtors bankrupt. 1t is
asserted that there is no hope of re-
lief until the double standard of 10 to
l is restored, and that the money ques-
ton is the supreme issue before the
country. Voters are urged to make
this issue paramount to all other con
sideratiOns on the elections of state
legislatures, congressman and preSl-
dent. 1t is recommended that con-
vcntion be held at some central point
In both the mining and agricultural
states, to perfect an organization to
work for this end and that commit
tee of five be appointed to carry out
the plan.
At the afternoon session speeches
were made by Senator Jones on behalf
of bimetallism in the United States
alone; Congressman Warner on the
consequence of the legislation of 1893
and by Representatives Bell and Pence
of Colorado and Parsons of Texas.

Senate Won't Work.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-The senate
has decided that there shall be no fur
ther legislation over which there is q
contest at this session of congress, by
adopting Mr.. Murphy's resolution TO
that effect by good majority. In
deed, it is doubtful IL anything is done
even without the adoption of this res
olution, as 1t was impossible to secure
a working quorum to-day on any party
division, and other senators are about
to leave the city. The resolution ap-
pointing Mr.. White of California u
member of the finance committee met
with no opposition and was agreed to
unanimously.
Senator Harris, acting chairman Of
the finance committee, has called n
meeting of that committee for 1880
O'Clock Monday, when it is understood
the supplemental tariff bills will be
taken up and an effort made to have
them reported, Notwithstanding the
senate's adoption of the Murphy reso-
luton.

Washington, Aug. 17.-There is hard

ing on every train. Mr.. Reed will see
the session through. Payne of New
York, Cogswcll of Massachusetts and
Cannon of Illinois will also remain to
submit some Republican figures on
appropriations and some observations
on the tariff. Most of the Democratic
leaders are remaining to make a
quorum in case of an unexpected
emergency in the tariff bill. The Dem
ocrats recognize, however, that 1t
would be impossible to do any bust
ness in which party division might
occur.

with some features of Representative
Stones bill for consular inspection
abroad which passed the House. The
antianarchist bill will be called up in
the House next week and 1t is pre-
dicted that it will pass. The Stone bill
is still in the hands of the committe
who expect to retain it till next ses-
sion when Il strong effort will be made

AMERICAN STUDENTS ABROAD.
They Garry or the Honors Mt tho Govern
Hiient schools.

It has been customary since 1870 FOR
the government to send to the princi-
pal schools of naval architecture in
Europe the cadets who stand first anu
second in each graduating class at tho
naval academy. If the class Is largo
or If the boys are very close In their
standing three are sent, and sometimes
as many as four have received tnis
honor, the object being to reward the
cadets for faithfulness and efficiency
and at the same time qualify them to
be constructors in our own navy.
There are three great naval schools In
Europe which, through the courtesy OF
Great Britain and France, have been
opened to students selected by the
United States government-the Royal
Naval college at Greenwich, the Uni
yersity of Glasgow and the School OF
Application in Paris.
The privilege is granted rs compli-
ment to the United States and the
course at Paris Is entirely free or ex-
pensc. At Greenwich and Glasgow
our representatives have to pay tho
regular tuition fees and expenses, just
like any other students. But after
having accepted the compliment and
the hospitality of these institutions our
boys are guilty Of the "nawsty' trick
of standing at the head of their classes.
The secretary of the navy has just re-
ceiyed from the American ambassador
in London an official report that Henry
G. Gilmore of Wisconsin and Henry
G.. Smith of Ohio have carried OF the
highest honors this year at the Green
wich school. This is the third time
since 1879 that an American cadet has
stood number one there. and our boys
have had the second place twice and
the third place several times. In Glas-
Cow they have always had the first
place; an American cadet has stood
at the head of every class that has
graduated since we have sent men
there, and on two or three occasions we
have had the second man also In the
Paris school our boys have never stood
number one, but they have been sec
ond several times, and no man we have
sent there has ever ranked below
number five This record entities the
Yankee boy to command the respect Of
his fellow-students in Europe.-Chi-
