SCOTLAND YARD ACTIVE.
No Further Developments In tn
Dynnmiters' Case.

No Further Developments In the
Dynnmiters' Case.
The greatest activity Is still displayed at
Scotland Yard in connection with the dyn-
amitc conspiracy, but there have been no
further definite developments.
The officials Of the British embassy at
Paris have formally requested the French
government to detain lyman, pending the
arrival from England of the documents nee
eSSary In order to make the demand for
his extradition In regular form.
State Department without Advices.
The State Department has not been ad-
vised that lyman. the famous NO 1" of
the Phoenix Park tragedy, now under ar
rest at Boulogne, has appealed to Ambas-
sador Eustis. claiming exemption from sur
render to the British authorities by reason
of his American citizenship. The officials
of the department decline to say, in ad-
vance. what action would be taken in such
case, but the practice In the past has been
to avoid interference and to permit the sur
render, presuming that the proceedings are
in accordance with the usual legal code of
the two countries In other words, Ameri-
can citizenship cannot be set up to prevent
the extradition of a person arrested in one
country for crime committed in another.
AS far as the United States is concerned
1t has gone on record as taking an advanced
position in this matter, although some nd
; tons claim that such persons cannot be
surrendered without the consent of the
country Of their citizenship.
Attitude of the United States.
Many years ago when the United States
ship Constellation was at Marseiles, three
of her sailors on Il spree got into a dispute,
in the course of which they threw over
board and drowned a native boatman. and
then fled to Genoa. The French govern
ment made a demand upon Italy for their
extradition. and was informed that the men
being citizens of the United States could be
surrendered only with the consent of that
country. The French minister at Washing
ton, by instructions of his government
thereupon made the request to the Secre-
tary of State. The latter promptly replied
that he would interpose no obstacles to the
surrender of the men, for 1t could claim no
jurisdiction over it's citizens who committed
crimes i'll one foreign country and fled to
another. So the sailors were turned over to
France.
Within year or two this government has
also surrendered to Great Britain an italian
subject who committed a crime on British
territory and fled to New York to escape.
In the case of France. the authorities on
extradftion show that she has always as
serted a similar right to surrender fugitives
of a third country without seeking its con-
sent. so the prospects for successful inter
veRtion in behalf of lyman are not consd-
cred encoura ling.

be enforced in order that no germ-laden

should be detained to determine whether
any cholera exists among them. The Sec

should also be carefully guarded. which
might best be done at the entrances Of the

COLONEL H1GG1NsoN TALKS.

Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higgin-
SON, who led a colored regiment in the
war and who is the author of a very
good history of the United States,
writes to the Boston Journal giving
his views on the present political situ-
| alton. His letter was called out by
a criticism by the Journal upon some
remarks of his. He admits that he
wants to see Bryan whipped, but not
very badly. Il do he says, but L
ain like the woman who watched the
fight between her husband and her
brother-she wished TO see her husband
chastised, but not very hard"
On the other hand, he says the con-
summation which every true Repub-
lican is bound to wish for-the election
of Mckinley by an immense vote and
the control of the house of representa-
tives by a majority even larger than
now-this he should regard as a Gala
nifty, for it would fix upon the country
a control which is, in the past, re
sponstble for most or our troubles
Which troubles he declares to be tine
admissions of the mining states He
further says that there are multitudes
of persons. of whom he IS one, who
have lost all confidence in the Repub-
lican party. Coming down to the issue
of the campaign and the attacks upon
the Chicago platform. he says:
Much of the attack on the Chicago
convention is so extreme and bitter as
TO tend to the defeat of its own object,
for it leads the reader to dwell ON what
is good in that platform. The income
tax, which the New York Sun places
first among its enormities seems to
many of us a great virtue. The repu-
diation of debts, which was at first
charged upon it, appears now in much
more guarded form than the original
The proposed overruling of the present
majority of one in the supreme court,
by means of appointments hereafter to
be made, is no new suggestion, but a
thing which every party begins to plan
for whenever the supreme court de-
cides against it. On the silver question
itself, the Chicago platform goes but
little farther, if any farther, than Re
publican leaders have repeatedly gone;
with the advantage that the platform
is unequivocal while they have usually
hedged. under pressure, undess they
were still needed as nominees for gov
ernor in western states.
That is a good dead for a lifelong Re
publican to admit, yet it is nothing
but the truth. He does not like Bryan,
he does not like Mckinley; will he vote
for the nominee of the Indianapolis
crew?

old Ocean Outdone.

Very few people know much of the
Great Salt Lake, of Utah, beyond the facts
that it is a very large inland sea with
very salt water Some of its physical
characteristics, however, are extremely
interesting. While the Atlantic ocean con-
tains but 315 per cent. of solid matter in
solution, Salt lake contains Is per cent
being of such great density that it is inn
possible for a man to sink in its waters
without additional weight. This solid
matter is principally plain salt and soda,
although there are small amounts of
chlorine, bromide, potassium, sulphur,
calcium lithia and boracic acid The re-
suit of this great salinity is that tons and
tons of salt are deposited by evaporation
along the shores of the lake, many tons
being often piled up in single night when
a strong wind blows the water high up on
the land.
Salt lake is 100 miles long, with an aver
age width of q miles. It's mean depth is
20 feet, and from these figures it may
be easily calculated that the contents of
the lake are 1,5G5, 433, 900 cubic feet of
water, one-sith of which, or 250, 800. 800 600
cubic feet, is salt and sulphate of soda,
over 219 500, 600 cubic feet of which is
salt. AS a cubic foot of salt weights so
pounds, it may be seen that the Salt lake
contains about 1850 co., 100000 pounds, or
$3.50 10000 tons of salt. AS salt is worth
about SO ton it is evident that there
is a fortune in the Salt lake, for its salt
alone, by the side of which the riches of
Monte Cristo are as drop in bucket.
1t is enough to pay the national debts of
all the civilized nations of the world

AN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS-

The New York Journal, discussing
the growing deficit, says that Mr..
Cleveland should call an extra session
of congress to enact legislation that
would provide sufficient revenue for the
government. 1t says that if he We're
the fearless statesman his friends rep
resent him to be he would cali con-
gress at once in extra session, ted it
that the country was sliding down the
hill of national bankruptcy for lack of
sufficient revenue, and urge it to lose
no time in providing the treasury with
surplus.
The Journal does not think he will,
and in that it is no doubt correct. HaN-
ing once convened congress in extra
session to deal with the money ques-
ton, and it having done his bidding,
he will not again so convene it. Then
it is entirely too late in the season for
an extra session of congress to do any
good. 1t would simply be devoted to
campaigning in the capitol. Even II
there were an extra session Mr.. Cleve-
land would most likely bore congress
to death with long-winded and turgid
messages about the money question, a
question upon which he deems himself
a very Sir Oracle. Our contemporary
says that when congress meets I'M its
regular session, four months hence,
there ought to be sufficient patriotism
among all factions to enable them to
drop their quarrels about conflicting
financial theories long enough to pro-
vide the government with the means OF
living, whether the president asks for
it or not. There certainly should be,
but most likely there will not be.

A QUARREL IN THE OVEN.

They had a quarrel one day;

"I'iI wager my new brown hat
That I'm fatter than you and much more

Though you're filed with pride till you

But what is the good of that?"
Then the piecrust girl turned her little
nose up
In most provoking way,

Is there aught that you do know.

Oh, the gingerbread boy, he laughed loud
ly with scorn
AS he looked at the fiaky plecrust,
Just watch how I'll rise i'm the world
Just see how I'm bound to grow light"
while fiieD you GU stay the color of rust"
So the gingerbread boy and the piecrust
girl
They each of them swelled with pride,
TIL a noise was heard in the room with

A cry of delight, then a very glad shout,
And the oven door was opened wide
Then the gingerbread boy and the pie
