The Largest spider.

Ceylon is the home of the largest species
of spider that has yet been made the SUBJ
ject of chronological investigation. This
web-spinning monster lives in the mount
alnous districts of that rugged island,
and places his trap-not gossamer snare
of airy lightness, but huge net of yellow
silk from five to ten feet in diameter
across the chasms and assures in the
rocks. The supporting guys of this gi-
gantic net, which is almost strong enough
for hammock, are from five to twenty
feet in length, as conditions may REQUIRE.
and made of series of twisted webs, the
whole being OF the diameter of lead
pencil. This gigantic sill1en trap is not
set for mosquitoes, flies and pestiferous
gnats, but for birds. gaudy moths and
elegantly painted butterflies, some of the
latter having spread of wing equal to
that of a robin or blue jay. Some extra
fine skeletons of small birds, lizards and
snakes have been found in these webs.
The spiders body is four and halt
inches in width and SIX inches in length.
its legs nine to twelve inches from BODY
TO terminal claw.

Adyices in Reference to the Arrest of
Two American Citizens.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The State De-
partment has received no advices from
Minister Baker in reference to the arrest
OF two American citizens at Bluefields.
Two dispatches have been sent by the De-
partment, the first notifying him that the
report of the arrest had been received,
and the second, on Wednesday morning,
giving him instructions. The instruc-
tions are intended TO cover all contin-
gencies, giving the Minister authority to
take any action which may protect Amer
leans. 1t is stated at the department. that
there is no necessity to supplement these
instructions by anything more, as Mr..
Baker has full power under those already
sent
Secretary Gresham is at loss to I'M
derstand why nothing has been received
since from Mr.. Baker, and a third dis
patch has been sent which asks the Min
lister for a full report of the affair, and
what action he has taken. 1t has been
intimated very strongly to the depart
ment that the arrests seem to have been
unjustifiable and that the reports thus
far received, though meager, confirm this
view. A response is soon expected from

There was something mysterious about

two years she has been leader of one OF
the most daring bands OF horse thieves
In the Territory and has long ba1fied

Statements differ regarding the result
of the congressional election in the
Columbus, Ohio, district. One is that
the Democratic candidate was elected by
the uusal majority. Another is that the
majority was cut down one half. The
personal popularity of the candid ate
undou btedly saved him from defeat, for
in the neigh boring State of Indiana the
municipal elections held the same day
showed very large Republican gains.

The goal that Coxey aimed at was rec
ognition from the American Congress
His idea was to march to Washington
a body of men so numerous that Con-
gress would be awed by its presence into
giving it some official recognition, and
perhaps complying with its demands.
The original programme was 70 march
100000 men to the capital. But Coxey
greatly overestimated the number of fools
and cranks in the country, and the mag
nifioen5 army of 100000 men which he
conceived of in his dreams dwi1.dled

REPUBLICANS AND THE TARIFF
BILL.

There is said to be some difference OF
opinion among the Republican Senators
in regard to the proper attitude OF the
Senate minority toward the pending tariff
bill Some of them are in favor of fighting
the bill with all the parliamentary wea-
pons at hand, while others think the bet
ter policy would be to interpose no oh
stacles of the flibustering description.
but to permit vote to be taken after
the measure has been thoroughly dis
cussed, and the minority made their
opinions plain to the country. We have
no doubt they all agree that the passage
of the bill should be prevented it posi-
hle. The difference.of opinion arises as
to whether or not, if the passage of the
bill appears to be inevitable, advantage
shall be taken of parliamentary tactics
to postpone it. The Republicans do not
want to be held responsible..in any meas
ure for the passage of the bill. They
want to make it plain that it is passed in
spite of everything they could do to pre-
vent it. Their opposition should be Wig
orous enough and prolonged enough to
leave no room for doubt on this point.
On the other hand. after they have
carried their opposition to point to
meet these requirements, and it has
been made reasonably certain that op-
position continued longer viii accom-
plish nothing more than the postpone
ment for few weeks of the passage of
the bill, the question arises whether it
will be wise to prolong opposition by a
resort to parliamentary tactics. And the
correct answer to this seems to US to be
in the negative. If modification of
the present tariff is inevitable before the
close of the session of Congressman that
seems now to be generally conceded-the
sooner that modification is made the
better. Uncertainty paralyzes business
and industry more than any other con-
dition. Business can adapt itself to a
certain extent to unfavorable tariff con-
ditions, but there can be no adaptation to
conditions whether of tariff or currency
that are not definitely known. When,
therefore, the choice lies between bad
tariff conditions definitely known and
uncertainty in regard to those conditions
every business man must prefer the
former, and consequently must desire
such action on the part of the legislative
body, which has the settlement of the
matter as shall give effect to his prefer
nee. Hence when it becomes obvious
that tariff bill is to be passed by the
present Congress before adjournment,
and that the effect of Republican OPP
position will only be to postpone the in
evitable for few weeks, it will be the
part of wisdom for the publicans
to refrain from interposing any merely
parliamentary obstacles that will post
pone but not defeat.

DATE OF THE EXODUS.
1t Would Seem to Lie Somewhere
Between 1880 and 1900, b. G.

Although the monuments and papyri
give us no direct information upon the
subject of the exodus, they do indirectly
indicate certain period within which,it
must have taken place, says writer in
Scribner's Magazine. Thothmes III, who
was the most powerful king of that dy-
nasty 0he eighteenth which finally
drove the Hyksos invaders out of Egypt
and reunited the whole country under
one scepter, extended his conquests as
far as Mesopotamia, overrunningP Palestine
on his way. He left lists of the conquer
ed nations, but does not mention the
Israelites among them. Rameses III, of
the nineteenth dynasty, the supposed OPP
pressor, who reigned about two hundred
years later, also subdued Palestine and
left lists of the conquered peoples, but
he, again, does not mention the Israelites
among them. What is perhaps still more
important is that, while the Israeljtes
have left records of invasions by Mesopa-
mians, Moabites, Canaanites, Midianites
and philistines, they do not mention any
invasion by the Egyptians and the con-
clusion is that the Israelites were not set
tied on the west side of Jordan till after
the wars waged by Rameses III, at the
commencement of his reign, which began
not earlier then 1888 B. c., or, as some
now say 1886 B. c. It has been attempt
ed to explain this difficulty away by sug-
gesting that Rameses II kept close to the
seacoast on his march through Palestine
and did not strike inland till he was
some distance to the north of the Israel
ties. but it is inconceivable that he
should not have secured his long line of
communications by establishing posts
so far inland that they must have been
brought into contact with the Hebrews
if the latter had at that time been settled
in their own country. The earliest date
therefore, at which the Egyptian history
will permit the exodus to have taken
place, even when full allowance is made
for the time spent by the Jews in the
wilderness and in conquering Palestine,
would seem to be about 143O B. c.,
while, if the shorter chronology be adj
opted, it could not have been earlier
than 1900 B. G.
