RAILROAD ABANDONED.

LEAvENwoREH, Kas.. March 16.-The
Leaven worth, Topeka and Southwestern
railroad which runs between this city and
Meriden, and which has been under the
control of the Union Pacifis and Santa Fe
was practically abandoned at o'clock this
tvening and not wheel turns on any OF
che sixty-eight miles. Mail pouches sent
to the regular trains this evening were re-
turned to the postoffice. There are five
postoffices On the road and only two can
be reached by any other line. The
order to abandon the road came
from S. III. II. Clark, chairman of the
Union Pacific board of receivers, the board
refusing to longer pay operating expenses
when receipts amounted to so little. The
employees have not been paid for two
months. The road has never paid interest
OH the investment. The Union Pacific
and Santa Fe alterated in operating 1t.
On Feb. ], it was turned over to the Union
Pacific. The abandonment of the road is
in conformity with the recent policy laid
down by the receivers.

WASHINGTON, March 16-Ex-Senator
Edmunds of Vermont, who is the author
Of the amendment of the Hawaiian reci-
procity treaty by which the United States
acquired Pearl river harbor as a coaling
station, at the request OF the Associated
Press today gave an interview upon the
rights OF the United States to that sta
ton. He said he was surprised to learn
that President Dole contended that the
grant Of Pearl river haroor was limited to
only seven years. The clause of the treaty
covering the question is in these words:
'His majesty. king of the Hawaiian
Islands, grants to the government
OF the United States the exclu-
sive right to enter the harbor
of Pearl river in the island of Oahu, and
to establish and maintain there a coalipg
and repair station for the use of vessels OF
the UnitedStates, aud to the end the United
States may improve the entrance to said
harbor and do all other things needful to
purpose aforesaid"
It is certain that the United States have
and will continue to have until they
choose to part with it (Which I hope will
never occur, the absolute and exclusive
dominion of Pearl river harbor for the

GRoTEsQUE FAILURE.
Charity Takes the Wind Out Of General
Frye's Army Kite.

Los ANGELES, CAL, March 16.-General
'Frye's army of unemployed, to march on
Washington, is grotesque failure. The
city council, board of supervisors and
officers of the associated charities met this
morning and decided TO releave all meri-
torious cases of restitution, but TO recog-
cize no organization of unemployed. Five
hundred dollars was subscribed for i'm
mediate USE Work will be supplied on
the streets and the vagarant law will be
enforced. The authorities will dispsrese
any army or like organization.
The army, numbering about 300, on
learning the result of the meeting aban-
doned it's barracks and marched out of
the city, apparently beginning its great
march. They haC no organization and no
leadership. Their leaders are said to
have looted the treasury and left the main
body without funds or rations. The large
majority was without blankets. When
they reached Alhramba, five miles dis
tant, many had dropped out and retreated
the railroad in the hope OF catching trains.
Deputy sheriffs and constables along the
line of march have been notified and will
arrest members of the dispersed army as
fast as opportunity offers.

between employees and receivers of Union
Pacific is off, at least temporarily. The
men today refused to appear before
President Clark and begin their argu-
ment. The president held that the con-
ference was simply for the purpose of
showing the reasonableness or unreasona-
blsuess of new wage schedule proposed by
the receivers The men say they will only
go into conference for the purpose of
showing that the old schedule was u
binding contract on the old officials OF the
road which the receivers must respect.
Mr.. Clark has sent a statement OF his posi-
ton to all the heads of organizations, and
said if they denied the truth of the propo-
siticns, they raised a law which must be
settled bv the courts.

ELLswoRTE'S AvENGER.
Captain Frank Brownell. the Slayer Of
Colonel Ellsworth's Assassin, Dead.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Captain Frank
E. Brownell died at 5 o'clock yesterday
morning of quick consumption. Two or
three weeks ago the heaviest snow-storm
of the winter occurred, and in the midst of
it Captain Brownell walked from the
Army and Navy club to his home on X
street. He was in weakened condition
at the time, and the shock of the exposure
Frustrated him. Since then he has been
gradually sinking. Captain BrowneiPs
wife and Mr.. T. B. Brownell of st. Louis,
his brother, were with him during his last
hours. The remains will be taken to st.
Louis, leaving here Friday afternoon
There will be services previous TO depart
ure. The funeral will take place at ut.
Louis probably on Monday.
In his delirium he lived over some or the
exciting scenes OF his eventful life. In the
history of the country he has place as
the man who shed the first southern blood
on southern soil at the opening OF the civil
war. He WAS then a corporal in the New
York Fire Zouaves and avenged the death
OF Colonel Ellsworth on the stairs of the
Marshall house at Alexandria, But 1t IS
not SO we'll known that Captain Brownell,
vino bore such conspicuous part in open
ing the wsr, was the officer who mustered
OUT the last regiment OF volunteers. That
closing act OF the CIVIL war captain
Brownell performed in Kansas in Deem
Der, 1861. There is another period of his
official career of which little was known
to this public. Toward the close of the
war he was acting as assistant TO the pro-
vost marshal general at st. Louis and WAS
engaged in ferreting out the conspiracy OF
the Knights of the Golden Circle.

CHEMICAL ACTION OF TIE SEA
Nature Performs Wonders which Science
Cannot Eathom.


Cannot Fathom.
A little consideration will show that,
all the known chemical elements-and'
even the unknown ones, too-must be
contained in solution in the waters Of
the ocean. Rivers flowing over the
land are continually taking up mineral
matter in solution. and these substances
are all added to the mass of materials
dissolved in the oceanic waters The
Thames every day carries TO the North
sea some two thousand tons of dis
solved material. and if all the rivers OF
the globe work at something like the
same rate, twenty million tons of min
eral matter must day by day be added
TO the store of materials held in solu-
ton by the ocean.
Now, says the Fortnightly Review,
all the chemical elements are capable
Of entering into compounds which are
20 greater or less extent soluble in
water, and hence we cannot doubt
that in the enormous mass of mate
rails dissolved in the vast body OF sea
water on our globe all the elementary
bodies must be represented.
1t is true that the chemist, by his
most refined methods Of analysis, is I'M
able to detect the proportion, even il
he is able to determine the presence,
Of the rarer elementary substances
which occur only as minute traces"
In sea water. When q large quantity
Of sea water is evaporated we get a
mass of chlorides and sulphatcs that
can be separated by analysis; but even
the very delicate tests of spectral anal
ysis fail to make manifest many Of tho
rarer metals and other elementary bod
les that must certainly be present in
the mass. In a well-known case, the
copper sheathing of q vessel has been
proved to have taken up silver from
the sea water by electro-chemical ao-
tion, though It is probable that all our
ordinary analytical processes would
have failed to reveal the existence al
the metal in the water itself.
